Chapter 2

            As I was attempting to take in all of this, I had no idea what was watching me from the safety of a nearby bush. 

“Let me see! Let me see!” the tiny girl squealed and jumped eagerly.

“Shhh! Nixie you’ll get us spotted!” the other girl said sternly, with her arms crossed over her chest and her back against a rock.

“Lighten up Azura, it’s not like she will see us over here,” the first girl, named Nixie giggled as she elbowed Azura in the arm.

“Dial it down perky pants,” Azura scoffed.

“Girls stop, you’ll get us all in trouble,” a third girl named Liliana whispered from behind a leaf.  Nixie giggled and looked over at Azura,

“Well, at least I wasn’t the one who went over my lady bug limit this month, and ow! You’re on my wings!” Azura sneered under her breath.

“Hey! I couldn’t help it, mother was sending me bug chats, and I had to respond!” Nixie smiled at Azura and Liliana.

“Uh huh, sure you did,” Azura said in a mocking voice.

“Oh be quiet,” Nixie giggled.

“Now, I’m going to meet that person!” Nixie exclaimed and prepared to leave the bush.

“Oh no you don’t! Are you insane? What if she wants to kill us?” Azura said frustratingly and clenched her tiny fist.

“She’s not going to kill us, and besides, she looks pretty harmless to me.” Nixie smiled before sitting on the edge of the leaf and stared at Annabelle from a distance.

“Just wait until the queen hears about this!” Azura said, raising her voice.

“Azura, stop.  You’ll get us all seen before Nixie does at this rate.” Liliana spoke shyly and looked down.

I heard their whispering voices as I walked over to a nearby bush, and that’s when I found who was making those noises….
