AUTHORS NOTE:

Here it is! Chapter 3! Yay! Sorry it took so long. I hit a massive blank, not sure how to continue it, but I'm hoping that you all enjoy it!

Word soon got round that I had saved Queen Clarion's life and it earned me a lot of respect amongst the fairies and sparrow men. I wasn't complaining as I know actually felt accepted into Pixie Hollow. Now that I had a talent, I felt completed. There was nothing anyone could say to me anymore to hurt me, because the fact that I didn't have a talent had been the only thing that they could say to me because it was the only thing that actually hurt me. Queen Clarion had another meeting with the Ministers and myself, in which the Ministers decided that they should have a service to protect Queen Clarion that only the most powerful fairies were to be a part of. And that was how Queen Clarion's Secret Service was formed. I was a part of it, in fact, I was the only one who was part of it. I was the only one trusted enough. I mean, I'd already saved Queen Clarion's life once, why wouldn't I be trusted? I wasn't too worried about being the only one in the service, I had other things to worry about. Like why someone would want Queen Clarion dead, who else was involved, when another attempt would be made at her life. To be honest, I was putting on a brave face. I wasn't ready for all of this. I wasn't ready to protect the Queen. I had done it once and suddenly that means that I'm ready to do it again. What if I couldn't do it again?

I had been sitting at the dining table in the Pixie Dust Tree with the ministers and Queen Clarion. I had dropped my knife onto the floor. Just as I bent down to pick it up the electric blue dust had shot out of my hand, landed on the knife which then shot up back into my hand. I had just stared at it in disbelief, not entirely sure of what had just occurred. "Are you alright, Vixen?" Minister of Summer asked. They hadn't seen it. They hadn't seen what had just happened to me.

"Er… Yeah… Yeah I'm fine," I replied, shaking off the shock. It had been a trick of the light, hadn't it? It had just been golden dust but due to the lighting, it seemed blue. That was what it was… I think…

A little later on, I was in Queen Clarion's library with her.

"Where is it?" Queen Clarion murmured, scouring the shelves, brushing the spines of the books with her fingertips delicately.

"Where's what?" I asked.

"There's a book called 'The Queen's Statement', and everytime we deliver any of the seasons, I have to write a statement about how the whole process has gone. I'm absolutely certain I put it over here, but it appears I am mistaken…" She replied.

"Can I help?" I asked. I was always willing to help Queen Clarion in whatever she needed help with.

"That would be very helpful, dear. Thank you," She smiled at me. I stood up and flew high above her, starting at the very top of her great library and working my way down.

It was a rather exhausting exercise and I was extremely grateful when Queen Clarion suggested that we take a break. I flew down to her and we sat on her couch, facing the library. The Queen's Statement… I thought. I looked down at the ground, noticing electric blue dust specs sparkling on the ground. I looked up and noticed a book floating down towards us. "Queen Clarion?" I called uncertainly. I saw her look at me, then her eyes followed my gaze. Surrounding the book was electric blue dust. I stood up and moved away, the book getting closer to me. I was freaked out. It was now hovering right in front of me, and I could not back up any further. My eyes darted to Queen Clarion who was flying over to me. Taking the book in her hands, she brushed the dust off. "'The Queen's Statement'," She read the title of the page and then looked at me. "I most certainly did not do that," she began softly, "I think there is a lot more to you then golden dust and green mist, my dear." My eyes were wide.

So, now there was electric blue dust too. Great! This just gets better and better! I thought whilst I sat outside the Pixie Dust Tree on a branch, swinging my legs back and forth. My ears pricked up. I could hear shouting. I got up and flew towards the commotion by the border. Two fairies were practically screaming insults at each other. One pushed the other to the ground and began to kick her. I noticed Tinkerbell and her friends immediately fly away from the scene. Turquoise dust circled around me and I was no longer standing on the side lines. I was next to the two fairies. Oh brother… Not another dust type… I groaned inwardly, but I didn't have time to dwell on it. "Hey!" I called. "Stop it!"

"You are nothing!" The aggressive fairy shouted to the one that was crumpled by her feet, who began to cough and I noticed specks of blood spraying out of her mouth. Anger bolted through me, and before I could stop myself… Oh for crying out loud! Where the hell did you come from?! My mind screamed. Silver dust shot out of my hands and the attacker froze mid kick. I walked around the side of her and noticed she wasn't breathing, she wasn't moving, she was doing nothing. My heart lurched into my throat as Queen Clarion appeared with TInkerbell and co.

I had frozen to the spot. Queen Clarion's hand was on my shoulder and she squeezed it gently. "What happened?" She asked softly.

"I don't know," I whispered. "One minute I was standing over there," I pointed, "and then there was turquoise dust and then I was here and then I got angry and then there was silver dust and now she's like that." My voice was steadily rising as I began to panic.

"Well, she's not dead," Tinkerbell announced, feeling her neck. I backed up so my back was against Queen Clarion's front. Her hand rubbed my arm soothingly. "I think you've frozen her." Tinkerbell announced. "All you have to do is unfreeze her."

"I can't," I responded.

"Yes you can."

"No, I can't."

"Yes you can!"

"No I don't know how!" I cried out, turning and burying myself into Queen Clarion, who wrapped her arms around me.

"Alright that's enough. Girls, thank you for coming to get me, if you could return to the Pixie Dust Tree and wait for me there please. I trust that you won't tell anybody about what has just occurred," Queen Clarion's voice came from all around me, soothing me.

"Yes, Your Highness." The girls all said in unison before flying away. Queen Clarion stroked my back soothingly as I nestled my face into her, breathing in her smell of flowers and honey. She said nothing at all, just stood with me, soothing me until I was able to breathe normally and my tears stopped, then she spoke.

"Do you remember what you did today? In my library with the book?" She asked softly, pushing me away and turning me so I faced the frozen fairy. The other fairy had gone, I hadn't even noticed. I nodded. "How did you get it to happen?"

"I don't know. I just thought about the books name and it just.." I trailed off.

"Maybe the same principle will work here, think of the colour of the dust," Her voice was soft and gentle. I nodded once more. Sucking in a deep breath, I gathered the little courage I possessed. Silver I thought. Instantly, the silver dust swirled around my hands. I looked at the fairy and held my hands out to her, the silver dust flowing gracefully over to her. My hands were trembling as the dust circled the girls feet. Why isn't it going further up? "I don't know how to make it move." I said, turning. The dust disappeared.

"Try raising your hands up," Queen Clarion suggested. I nodded, turned back around and blew out a ragged breath. Okay, we can do this… Silver. The dust once more gracefully circled the girls feet. Slowly, I raised my hands, my wrists slightly bent away from me, my fingers relaxed and aimed at the girls feet, palms facing the sky. The silver dust swirled around her, moving up her body. Eventually it reached her head and disappeared. The girl stumbled forward and looked around, clearly confused. Her eyes settled on Queen Clarion and myself before she flew away. I slowly turned to Queen Clarion, wanting to cry. "I don't want to do this anymore," I whimpered. It was all too much for me. In one day I had discovered three more parts to my talent and to be honest, I felt weak. I felt emotionally, physically and mentally drained. Queen Clarion looked at me with concern, before drawing me into her arms.

"Come," She whispered softly to me, "Lets go home."

So... Vixen can now conjure up Silver dust, Golden dust, Green mist, Turquoise dust and Electric blue dust and it's terrifying her. Chapter 4 will be up soon (hopefully sooner then this one)! Review and stuff.. If you want to... You don't have too... I'm rambling... Bye!
