Niki woke up the next day. She was sure she imagined that little hand in the tree.. And the fairy house inside it. It just wasn't possible.
It was so unreal. Meeting a Fairy had been a dream of hers since she was a little girl. Now, closer to Halloween it seemed even more mystical.
When Niki got out of bed, she looked at her hands and noticed something had changed with them.
They were clean, almost shiny. And was that? No... It was silver dust all over hands.
"Miss.."
She opened the window.
"Yes?" She asked scared.. not so sure.
"Miss, I'm sorry to bug you. but Caedmon would like you to come back as soon as possible."
"Yes, okay, sure that sounds great.. but I was at my Grandmother's farm, and I have no idea how to get there again." Niki was talking so fast that the bird almost looked frightened.
"It is alright, Deary. I can take you."
"How?" Niki asked, her eyes widened.
"Hold on to my feathers, gently."
Nikki took his feathers caustiously, and they dissappeared. Away from the Inner Harbor, everything around them spinned.
"I Don't Like this!!" Niki screamed, but less than a half an hour later, they were at the tree again.'
"Here you go Miss, and if you ever need anything, just say "Arland"
Still dizzy, Nikki looked at her watch:
It was 2:30 p.m. already.
In front of her, there were several eyes looking at her through tiny windows. She peered down, and looked and said,
"Hello."
They flew back, all except one. Caedmon .
"Welcome to the Fae world, Madame, here, is where we will teach you how to become our newest Fae Guardian."
Niki watched in Silence. Then, all of a sudden, she started to shrink, she shrunk and she shrunk until she was the height of Arland.
"This. is. Not. Good." Niki thought, but she followed inside, where they were all waiting for her patiently, and she was determined to find out more about this world called Fae.
