in the woods {001}
The evening had been truly hectic for the fairy. Plans of cleaning the house and getting an early night’s rest were literally wrecked when a werewolf had charged it down. Seven months of carefully placed branches, pinecones and dried grass were scattered across the wood’s ground. Upset about his beloved home being destroyed, Roosevelt believed it was only right for the werewolf to apologize and help rebuild. For the rest of the evening, he cautiously followed the werewolf so he could confront them in the morning. Roosevelt had never spoken to a werewolf before but he was informed by other fairies that werewolves were very slobby and rude. Roosevelt was not looking forward to their interaction.
When the wolf transformed back into a human, Roosevelt felt rather sorry for them. She didn’t look as refreshed and accomplished as he thought she would. I should probably say something now before she goes, he thought. Clearing his throat, Roosevelt fluttered out from behind the tree, revealing himself to her. He was wearing a skirt he had crafted from an aspen tree’s leaves. True fairy couture. “Um, hi…” Wow, how lame. Be more assertive. “My name is Roosevelt of Lorrella and last night, you destroyed my home.”
Her eyes instantly meet those of a man, she could’ve focused on the way his eyes almost shimmered but, that was overcrowded by his state of dress. Instantly Val went into panic mode, could this be another wolf? Had he seen her? Though she figured transforming into a crazy beast wasn’t the only reasons someone could be just about naked in the woods. She swallowed as he spoke to her, his tone of declaration and it accused her.
“Me? I’m sorry you have the wrong person.” She was shifty and began looking around, she hadn’t done anything to anyone’s home.....that was until she remembered she might not have but, her wolf was more than capable. “Wait. Do you mean? Did you see? Oh hell, I promise it’s not what it looks like.....!” Her panic began setting in as her right hand nervously shook at her side, she never actually thought of what she would do when someone found out what she was, she didn’t know what to do? Would she be sent away to some lab? Killed or worse locked up in some prison?
“Listen, I can pay, do you want money? What do you want?” She asked.
