Teaser
Bianca turned around, ready to leave the Fairy Realm, defeated and with no answers when something hit her. What if Fanny could understand her questions regardless of what the queen thought? What was the harm in asking? Bianca shrugged and turned back toward Fanny. Terrance put a hand on her shoulder and tried to stop her. His eyes widened, with a look he asked her what she was doing. She patted his hand and walked away, convinced that what she was about to do was right. “What does she think she’s doing?” Titania asked. Bianca hesitated for a moment, worried about what the queen would do to her. But Titania remained still, almost as if she was as curious as everyone else to see how Fanny would react to Bianca. Fanny danced around Bianca as though she were invisible. She just twirled and giggled as though someone had told a funny joke. Why won’t she see me? Am I invisible to her? “Hello,” Bianca cried. She touched Fanny on the elbow, hoping deep inside to make a connection. A flash of light blinded her momentarily, and she felt an electric current race through her body. The power from that knocked Bianca on the floor on her rear end. Fanny miraculously stopped. She remained silent at first. Then she turned her dark brown eyes at Bianca. They held so much sorrow and pain. “Fanny, can you hear me?” Bianca asked. “Yes,” she replied. Her eyes widened in surprise, as though she was amazed that she was still able to use her voice. Fanny then gagged. She got on all fours and heaved until a single white rose passed through her lips. The flower was covered with bile and saliva as it fell heavily on the ground. Bianca sat beside Fanny, her hand hovering over her shoulder precariously. She was scared of what else would happen should she touch Fanny once more. “I’m so sorry. I forgot that it would cause you pain to speak.” Fanny looked into Bianca’s eyes. She shrugged and gave Bianca a sad smile. “My name is Bianca. Those are my friends over there, Ming, Terrance, and Prince Ferdinand. We’re all here because we need your help.” © Liz DeJesus 2013
