Forever after

by Oreo Cupcake

The fablehaven characters have some unexpected guests... and will soon have to make some space in their household. T because I'm paranoid. I know this is a terrible summary. The story is better, I promise.

Chapter 9

Luna's POV

I walked lazily along the edge of the pond full of naiads. I stared across the pond to the island containing the fairy queen's shrine. I walked over to the deck, sitting down. I reached inside my pocket, drawing out a bejeweled necklace.

"I've come here to talk to Narinda, and I have brought an offering." I said, calmly. As I held the necklace out, the pale purple eyed naiad sprang out of the water, reaching for the necklace. I shook my head.

"That is MINE. You have no right keeping it from me." Narinda hissed.

"I'll give it to you, on certain conditions. One, you're not going to try to drag me under. Two, you're not going to lie to me. Three, you're going to come out of the water to speak with me." I stated. Narinda shot me a poisonous look and hauled herself out of the water, then standing up on the bank.

"Get this over with quickly." She said. I smirked.

"I have a few questions for you." I said. Narinda raised an eyebrow.

"And what makes you think that I would know the answer?" Narinda asked.

"Because you were there. Now, first question. Why did you abandon Rio Branco?"

"Because it's a fallen preserve."

"Anything else?"

"They banished me."

"Who?"

"The demons."

"And why was that?"

"Because I tried to steal it."

"And what is it, to be exact?"

"The key to Dragon's eye" Narinda growled

"And-"I was cut off by Narinda sinking her razor-sharp teeth into my arm, causing my silver blood to start gushing out from where her teeth sunk in. Narinda laughed, snatched the necklace, and then took a running leap back into the water. I looked down at my arm again. Now the blood was a deep red color. No. this wasn't happening. I was…mortal? Then the blood suddenly turned a translucent sapphire color. No, I wasn't mortal. I was a naiad.

Hi! So, on my profile, I have three little character thingies, talking about my OC's and stuff. In case you're wondering, Narinda is not an OC. She is actually mentioned in the third Fablehaven book. So yeah. Have a fantabulous day. Also, Fantabulous is an actual word. I never knew that!
