shifters. As I skimmed through the pages, I found a section on fairies, and I couldn’t help but laugh. When I did, the librarian told me to be quiet and gave me a warning. When I looked at the page again, I saw tiny little creatures with wings- creatures they called fairies. I was even more intrigued when they said fairies cannot lie and have thousands and thousands of years’ worth of accumulated knowledge. I smiled to myself, thinking how good that would be in a history test, and suddenly I felt the chill of cold evil sweeping over me.
I looked up to see the devil sitting across from me , with a huge grin on his face and a book in his hand. I drew a lambo in my hand and threw it quickly, but he caught it.
‘That wasn’t very nice .’ His voice sent shivers all through my body, and I tensed up. I tried to reach out to Amanda with my mind, but it seemed to be blocked. ‘Please don’t contact any of your fairy friends. I want to have a nice long chat with you.’ He placed the book down, and I saw the chance to run. When I tried to get up, however, I couldn’t move. In fact, I was glued to my chair.
‘W-what ha ve you d-done?’ I was shaking so fiercely that I was stuttering.
‘That , my little pure fairy, would be so you don’t move anywhere.’ He waved his hands, and I felt myself pressed even more tightly to the chair. I opened my mouth to scream, but he leaned over the desk and put a knife to my throat.
‘I wouldn’t scream if I were you. If you want to save your life. If you do scream, my hand might just slip.’ He moved the angle of his hand, and I blinked back sudden tears. ‘Oh, don’t cry. I am not going to kill you.’ He removed the knife, but sat with his legs crossed in front of me. I could feel my body shaking, and I was scared out of my mind.
‘What do you want?’ I ask ed, my voice still small and timid.
‘What do I want? That is a good question , little pure fairy, but I think both you and I know what I want. It involves you, in a great big hole in the ground.’ He smiled at his own words, but there was no amusement in his catlike expression. My heart was pounding in my chest and I couldn’t move. I knew that he could see my discomfort and smell the fear radiating off me in waves. I tried to summon power, but it was useless. I was just too scared. I couldn’t look anywhere but at the devil, forcing myself to stare into those piercing black eyes. He was tall and cruelly handsome, wearing a suit and tie with his black hair combed back.
‘ Y-y-you do know th-there are l-l-lots of f-f-fairies in the s-s-school.” I stuttered so bad that I wasn’t sure if he would understand a word I was saying.
‘Yes , I do know that, but do you see any of them around?’ He waved his hands in the air and looked around the library. I tried calling for Amanda again, but I got nothing. It was like all my powers had been locked away.
‘So let’s get down to business , pure fairy. I want you dead. It is plain and simple. You killed my daughter, and your boy killed my best demon, Andy, so I want you both dead. But if you turn yourself over, along with your little boyfriend, I will spare your lives and make you demons. Hell, I might even keep you both fairies.’ He was about to say more when suddenly he creased his eyebrows together. ‘Looks like our time is up.’ Just like that, he was gone. I felt the heat come back into the room, seeping over my skin. I shifted in my seat, and realized that I no longer had that lingering feeling of pure evil.
‘You alright?’ a deep but angelic voice said from behind me . It made me jump.
‘Y-y -yes. I am fine.’
A boy sat at the desk in front of me, frowning. He looked about a year or two older than me, but I’m not very good at guessing people’s ages, so I wasn’t sure.
‘You don’t look ok.’ Something was odd about him- and it was not the way his electric blue eyes stood out underneath his dark eyebrows.
