Fly

Tamani managed a weak smile before staring into his lap again. "I know that. But I keep hoping that she won't choose David. That she will choose me."

Tamani POV

"Tam, wake up." Tamani's eyes flickered as he focused on the person speaking to him. His eyes finally opened and he saw Shar looking down at him, an amused expression on his face.

"What do you want?" Tamani asked, worried. "Did something happened to Laurel?" He sprung up, ready to leave.

Shar shook his head and forced Tamani down on the couch. "No, mate, but this can help protect her."

Tamani was fully awake now, and he turned his attention to Shar. He would do anything to protect Laurel, but he wondered what he has to do other than guarding her now. "What is it? What can I do?"

Shar sighed and handed him a paper. Tamani glanced at it and saw a girl's photo and some information. "After talking to Yuki yesterday, we have found out that she has been working with more wild fae." Tamani's eyes went wide as Shar continued. "She was with Klea for protection, but Klea has nothing to do with this. She just hunts trolls. Apparently, there was this Fall faerie living nearby Yuki and provided them with the blossoms to create the spells we found. Yuki helped enchant them, and it was her who created the circle hiding the trolls. They were working with them for a while." Shar paused to let the information sink in.

"So, there are more wild faeries living?" Tamani asked, shocked.

Shar nodded. "That's what Yuki told us. The Fall faerie was transported back to Scotland, their 'home base', but luckily, we obtained some information about her from her neighbours. Her name is River and she's nineteen in fae years. Yuki sensed danger, so River ran back to Scotland shortly after Thanksgiving." Shar lowered his voice. "From what we have gathered by Yuki's choppy confession, they are part of a group of Unseelie that escaped hundreds of years ago."

Tamani dropped the paper iin his hand. "Escaped Unseelie?" He whispered, horrified.

Shar clenched his fist. "Yes, mate, escaped Unseelie. They want to destroy the Seelie and release the rest of the Unseelie locked up here. They have few Fall fae there, but River is one of the most important."

"So what do I have to do? Travel to Scotland and kill the Fall?" Tamani asked, still shocked at the news.

"Not exactly." Shar replied. "If we take all the Mixers there out, then they can't continue their plans. Do what you have done with Yuki and we will do the rest. There will be three others coming with you." Shar added.

"What others?" Tamani wondered. "Aaron? Huin?"

Shar shook his head. "No. Two Fall fae will accompany you as well as a Summer. You will need all the help you can get." Shar glanced at the window, and Tamani turned to see what he was looking at. He saw two female and a male fae nodding at Shar. Shar opened the door for them and they jumped in. "Tamani, this is Sal, a Summer." The boy grinned as he slung his arm around the dark-haired girl beside him. He had light brown eyes and coal black hair. "This is Dawn, a Fall." Shar said as he waved his hand at the girl Sal had slung his arm around. She had deep blue eyes and coffee brown hair. "And this is Allissa, another Fall fae." Shar said, nodding his head at the other female fae. She had light blue eyes and rich red-brown curls framing her pale face. She caught Tamani's eyes and smiled. He smiled back. She had a pretty smile.

"You'll all be leaving next week to Scotland." Shar said, raising his eyebrow at Tamani and Allissa. Tamani shook his head and concentrated. He had to listen carefully or he won't be doing Laurel any good.

"That's good Shar." Tamani said. Shar nodded and opened the door for the three fae.

Dawn turned around and smiled at Shar. "Thank you so much for getting us this mission. I was sure I would die or studying at the Academy!" She laughed cheerfully. Sal waved quickly, then he and Dawn were gone. Allissa smiled shyly at him. "It'll be a pleasure working with you Tamani." She said quietly before gliding out the door as well.

Shar looked at me, amused. "What was that all about?"

Tamani turned slightly red in the face. "N-nothing." He stuttered, thinking back to Allissa wonderful smile. But even her smiles couldn't compare to Laurel's...stop comparing them! He scolded himself.

Shar stared at Tamani thoughtfully. "It's time you got over her." He said seriously. "Allissa is a nice fae."

Tamani shook his head. "I know she is, but you know my heart still lies with Laurel."

Shar averted his disappointed eyes away from Tamani's determined ones. "I know, but mate, think about Allissa seriously." Tamani glared at Shar and the older faerie sighed as he walked himself to the door. "Well, you've got one week to do what you have to do." Shar said tiredly before disappearing out the door.

Laurel POV

"Hey Laurel." Laurel spun around and saw David looking at her nervously.

"Oh, hi David." Laurel greeted him in return, forcing a smile. She was almost certain now that she loved Tamani, but seeing David with pain and sadness in his eyes made her rethink everything, even though she knew deep down that she would rather spend the rest of her life with Tamani.

"How did-" David froze and glared at the air behind her, and Laurel knew that Tamani had arrived.

"Hi Laurel. David." Tamani said, grinning. David gritted his teeth before muttering a "see you later" to Laurel and storming away to Chelsea.

Tamani shrugged, smirking victoriously before turning back to Laurel. "What's up?"

Laurel groaned. Why did boys have to be so difficult? "Hi Tamani." As she looked at him, Laurel slowly became nervous about what she had done last night as she looked at his piercing green eyes. "About yesterday..."

Tamani looked at her indifferently and shook his head. "Whatever. Doesn't matter now. "

"Okay..." Laurel didn't know why she was let off the hook so easily. "I'm sorry." She whispered quietly, feeling guilty no matter what he said.

Tamani smiled bravely. "No harm done." He looked at her as the bell rang for class. She was about to say good-bye and leave for class with everyone else when Tamani pulled her to a corner. "I'm leaving next week." He informed her, glancing around for listeners.

Laurel stared at him with shocked eyes. "Why?"

Tamani shrugged. "We found out some information about who Yuki's working with, and apparently she moved back to Scotland. So I have to go and kidnap her or something."

Laurel looked at the floor, her emotions for Tamani ready to burst. "Oh."

He tilted her chin up so they could lock eyes. "Since I'm leaving soon, I was thinking that you and I could hang out before I have to go?" He wondered nervously, searching her eyes for an answer.

Laurel looked into his mesmerizing green eyes. She still wasn't used to the light green, but he was still him.

"Okay."

Some Tamani and Laurel. I don't know when I can update again as I have some other things to do.

Please review!
