Chapter Seven
The pixies were keeping Tecna company while Musa went on the search for Timothy. Just then, another strange man fairy snuck up and startled her, all the pixies scrambled to hide, and watched from their hiding places.
"Well, well. Look what we have here." He smiled.
"Who said that?" Tecna asked.
"It's okay precious, my name is Brandon. I design my own clothing line, and judge gorgeous girls like you." the man fairy explained.
"Listen, I don't want to be judged by how I look." Tecna shouted, "Besides, I'm heading home."
"What's your rush, take it easy. You seem so tense." Brandon replied as her rubbed her shoulders.
"Don't touch me!" Tecna demanded as she pulled away from him.
"You are tense, I could take you to my personal spa, give you a chance to relax and rest those dainty little feet of yours." Brandon told her, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Stop it! I don't need anything from you!" Tecna demanded.
"How can I stop when you're so radiant, so gorgeous," Brandon pulled her in for a kiss on the cheek, and she tried to pull away. He went for it, and his tongue licked her cheek, "and delicious."
"Everyone here is so sick." she uttered under her breath.
"I insist that I show you to everyone I know, my friends love beautiful girls." he said.
"I really have to get home, but… you could fly me up, so I can see where I'm headed." Tecna explained.
"I have a plan, if you model my newest outfit at the next fashion show, I'll fly you up to the trees so you can see where you need to go." Brandon told her.
"Okay, it can't be as bad as I think." Tecna sighed, then Brandon scoped her up and flow to were he lived and worked. A separate fairy village where girls were mistreated and judged. There, his servants freshened her up and fitted her in the most horrid dress she had ever seen, too much of her skin was showing, at least for her standards.
At the fashion show, Tecna stumbled around backstage in shoes that were way too uncomfortable and the heals were too high, though she needed to do this in order to find her way home.
"You ready, gorgeous?" Brandon asked her.
"I guess." Tecna sighed. He led her to the line up and winked at her as he left. A while later it was her turn.
"And now our newest model, Tecna, showing off Brandon's latest creation." the announcer introduced her as the next one up. She stepped forward, trying to keep steady. Then the spotlight lit up around her, she continued to walk, as practiced, and everyone's eyes were on her.
"Wow, look at the new girl, she's hot." one guy whistled, and Tecna ignored it, knowing they only were eye-balling her bare skin, which was really unpleasant.
"You can say that again, Brandon outdid himself this time, the girl's a babe." the guy beside the first one answered.
"Just ignore them." Tecna uttered through gritted teeth to herself, continuing down the catwalk. Then she tripped on her unbelievably high heals, and fell of the stage. Her fake wings fell off and she kicked off the heals, exposing bloodied feet.
"These shoes are killing me, and quite frankly, I don't like being eye candy for guys who don't even know me!" Tecna stood up and stumbled painfully out of the show.
"So much for her, she wasn't even a fairy." the one guy laughed.
"Yeah, but she's hot what she's angry." the other guy added, "Though, not as hot as she was a few minutes ago."
Brandon stopped Tecna in the dressing room in her normal clothes, wiping the blood from her feet.
"Stinking shoes, my feet will hurt now." she whispered without seeing him.
"Hey." he replied quietly.
"What happened to calling me gorgeous?" Tecna looked at him in disgust, "I guess the plan is off."
"Yeah, well since the men don't find you that appealing, I have to agree with them." Brandon told her, "And no, I own you that much, plus, no one will know I helped you."
"So just because I'm not half naked, the guys here don't treat me like a person! That is so sick! You and your friends have issues!" Tecna stood up painfully and pounded her fist on the table to make a point.
"Hey! At least I'm nice enough to help you out!" Brandon snapped back.
"Fine, get me out of the sick place." Tecna cringed.
The pixies flew fast as lightening as soon as they saw Brandon took Tecna, they had to find Musa.
"Wait up guys!" Lockette, the pink haired pixie called.
"Hurry up Lockette! Tecna needs help!" Chetta, the pixie with blonde pigtails called back, then Riven suddenly appeared and trapped the pixies so they couldn't run.
"Did I hear you say the name 'Tecna'?" he asked.
"Yeah, she-" Chetta began, but Digit, the pixie with blue hair and overalls, stopped her.
"Where is she?!" Riven demanded, making Lockette squeak, and Piff, the baby pixie, cry.
"Now look what you did!" Chetta shouted to Riven as Amore, the loving red head with the flowing pink dress, tried to console the baby.
"Tell me where she is, now!" Riven ordered, making the pixies quake with fear.
"What should we tell him, Digit? We need to find Musa." Tune, and old fashion dressed pixie quivered.
"We'll tell him, hopefully Musa came back, if not, she'll find Tecna nonetheless." Digit sighed.
"Another man fairy took her and flew away." Chetta replied, not giving away too much detail.
"Another man fairy! I want her back!" Riven snapped, and the pixies flow away, but before that, Chetta called back to him.
"You're not getting your swampy hands on her, you overgrown ugly pig!" She shouted. Once they disappeared, Riven scouted the area.
"Now, about this over fairy, touch my girl the wrong way and he's mince meat." Riven growled to himself.
That night, Brandon had left Tecna on a tree branch, and she had been weeping forever. Just then, Musa spotted her.
"Tecna, there you are, the pixies told me… Tecna, what's wrong?" Musa perched down beside the crying little girl.
"Musa, am I glad to see you." Tecna smiled as she lifted her head, "I'm so cold, tired and hungry. Plus I was kidnapped again, by another man fairy, who lives in a village where girls are treated very disrespectfully. I had to model his new clothes, and the heels I wore were killing my feet. And he said that I wasn't beautiful if didn't wear stuff like that. I for one think that is sick!" Tecna explained.
"Oh man, it wasn't Brandon, was it?" Musa asked.
"Yeah, it was." Tecna sighed.
"Forget Brandon, and forget Riven. They only want you for your beauty, but… you've known Timothy for two years, he know you better than any one of those creeps." Musa told her.
"I… I just want to go home, and see him again." Tecna sighed.
"I found something for you." Musa pulled out a piece of soft fabric she found and Tecna wrapped it around herself.
"Thank you Musa." she replied sleepily.
"I promise I'll find Prince Timothy for you, whatever it takes. You need to find your way home." Musa told her.
"Good night, Musa." Tecna's voice faded as she fell asleep.
I thought this was a pretty funny chapter, Brandon's whole disrespect for women was my own idea, I had to find a good way for him to change his mind about her and peer pressure hit the spot.
