Chapter 7

          There stood another figure.  She was very busy scrambling to pick up broken pieces of glass off the floor without even turning to see who had just entered the room.  The figure looked about twenty-three or so with light skin and a fairly curvy body frame.  Her hair was albino blonde, tightly curled, and was hip length.  She had a crown of whitest roses I had ever seen and vines tied around her head and was held in place by her hair, which was braided into it.  Her eyes were widened and a brilliant hazel with a mysterious twinkle in them which intrigued me.  Though nothing could compare to her dress.  The dress had a sweetheart styled, one shouldered styled top, made out of emerald green leaves.  The bottom of the dress touched the ground in length and flowed behind her.  The skirt was made out of full white rose petals, each lined in tiny crystals which glistened whenever she would walk.

“Your majesty Gwendolyn, we have something we need to ask you”, Nixie said as she curtsied slightly and whipped her hair back off her face.  Gwendolyn turned and faced all three of us before her eyes became large.

“Yes?” she asked, looking back at all three of us.

“We heard a crash, is everything okay?” Liliana said shyly and noticed the glass on the floor.

“Everything’s fine, Liliana just has awakened, that’s all,” Gwendolyn replied while standing up from the floor.

“What’s woken up?” I whispered quietly from behind Nixie as I peered through her transparent wings.

“A child,” Gwendolyn spoke quietly, keeping her eyes locked on me.

“Huh?” I asked, looking at Gwendolyn with I’m sure a stupid look on my face.  Gwendolyn gave me a small smirk before turning to Nixie and Liliana,

“Could you two leave us alone please?” Gwendolyn said signaling the two fairies to leave.  Both of them nodded and buzzed out of the room leaving me and the queen in utter silence.
