Chapter 18

          The next day I was awoken to someone shaking me and calling my name.

“Annabelle! Annabelle!” I stirred knowing that voice was none other than Nixie.

“Nixie? What do you want?” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.

“Get up! I’m your tour guide today but first we need to get you to breakfast!” she squealed.

“Fine, I’ll be down in a minute…” I mumbled sitting up and noticing Gwen was missing.

“Gwen!” I yelled before quickly jumping out of bed and running down to the dining hall nearly slipping and tripping as I ran.  I hung onto the wall for dear life as I snapped myself around the corner and to my relief, there was Gwen, Nixie, Liliana, Azura, and two new girls in the dining hall.

            The two girls were a tad shorter then Gwen, and both looked very similar to the other.  They had very long torsos but their body shapes were very beam like, with not many curves.  One girl had golden blonde hair and the other was a brunette, they both also had their hair up and tucked away inside of their pink buttercup hats.  As I looked closer I could notice both of them had different length stems on their hats, the blonde’s being shorter than the brunette’s.  They had bright green vine corsets which were attached to a bright pink petunia skirt which flared out from their tiny bodies.  The girls both had paler skin which was a clear sign they don’t get out much which accented their twinkling eyes.  The blonde had gorgeous emerald green eyes and the brunette had sapphire blue.  As for personality, I could already tell these two were a handful.

            “Annabelle?” Gwen asked aware as she stood to her feet.  I sighed a sigh of relief before slouching my shoulders soon finding myself standing there awkwardly in the door way.

“I-uhhhh, I just wanted to make sure that you were in the dining hall already,” I laughed nervously.  Gwen looked at me for a brief moment with a confused look on her face, but she finally sat down.  I causally made my way over to the empty seat at the opposite end of the table where I found myself in between Nixie and Liliana.  Within minutes of sitting down the two girls behind Gwen’s chair snuck out of the room giggling and returned moments later with trays full of interesting looking foods.  I wrinkled my nose as the interesting smells, and leaned over to Nixie.

“Hey, Nixie, what exactly is this?” I whispered, pointing to the plate full of interesting concoctions in front of me.  Nixie smirked slightly before smiling and pointing to every object on the plate.
