New wings and a new "home"

Zarina felt a pang of fear. 'Oh, what have I gotten myself into?!'

"Where's Queen Clarion?" asked Zarina.

"She was busy when I was looking for her," answered Fawn, "I think she's in the winter woods or something and won't be back in 3 days or so..."

A light bulb went on in Zarina's head.

"Fawn, can you do me this HUGE favor? I'll do anything!" begged Zarina.

"And what's that?" asked the animal fairy, curiously.

"Can you promise not to tell ANYONE that James turned small and all that you just saw? Please! Or they'll kill me!"

"What? How can I not tell anyone that there's a little pirate wondering in the woods? Besides, what if other fairies saw him?"

"We'll hide him of course."

"And how will we do that?"

"Disguise him or whatever! Just don't let the others know! I'll keep an eye on him."

"You mean you're going to bring him INTO THE HOLLOW, AND KEEP HIM?! SECRETLY?"

"Exactly."

"You're mad!"

As the two fairies bickered about keeping a secret about James, the little pirate seemed to feel a certain discomfort in his upper back. Something heavy...

"And what if he runs off, huh? Where do you plan to keep him?" grumbled Fawn.

"We'll figure that out later! He really can't do much without pixie dust you know?" argued Zarina. She was starting to lose her cool.

"Why don't you just leave him here? I'm sure he'll survive!" stated Fawn.

"Because I don't wanna leave him here!"

"And why not?" Fawn asked with a smirk plastered on her face.

"Because...because... He just can't okay? You really think I want to see him 24/7?!" Zarina yelled, all blushed.

"Oh really? Maybe you're just-"

"AHHHHHHHH!" cried a horrified James.

"What now?"

"I-I...I have wings! I have weird transparent stuff sticking out my once beautiful back!" cried the pirate while grabbing his new wings by the tip and tugging on them.

Zarina rolled her eyes. "Yea, we've noticed."

"Get rid of them NOW!" he yelled angrily while pointing at Zarina.

"No."

"WHY?"

"I can't."

"And why not?!"

"...I don't know how!"

"ARGHHH! This sucks!"

'...Wait! I have wings! Does that mean I can fly?"

He started to flutter his wings are hard as he can, but to no avail. His feet were still firmly on the ground.

"What the hell? I thought that now I have wings I can fly!"

"You can't fly without dust, retard!" Zarina grumbled, obviously pissed.

This upset the pirate greatly.

"WHAT? So as long as I don't have dust, I can't fly? This is bullshit! What do I need the wings for anyway?" he yelled.

"umm... it's useless actually. Fairies are born with wings, but they don't work without pixie dust." said Fawn as a matter of factly.

Zarina interrupted "So can you keep a secret or not, Fawn? I don't want either of us to get into trouble. And I'll need time to figure out a dust that can change him back to human."

"...FINE! But if they DO find out it's entirely YOUR fault, Zarina!" cried Fawn, giving in.

"As long as he's with me, everything will be fine. We're gunna have soooo much fun, aren't we James?" said Zarina, looking as evil as ever.

James's face was as white as a sheet. First the useless wings, then he has to live with Zarina where he will suffer endlessly until she finds a way to turn him big again. 'Lucky me'

Fawn sighed "Just don't do anything stupid, okay?"

"I'll try not to." *sigh* "Come on, James." said Zarina as she led a very upset James into the woods and into the Hollow.

Dun dun dun! Zarina's going to bring James into the Hollow! :D thanks for reviewing! Love you all!
