Chapter 24: You.. Took It?
"You..took it? You stole the fairy."
"Look, I know I am a heartless bitch 99% of the time. But I could not let her stay there with those pieces of shit," Cilv responded unashamedly. She really did want to help free the poor creature; no one was meant to be someone else’s mantelpiece.
Evanna couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Her thoughts were jumping to and from the scene downstairs to the fairy now in front of her. She sighed, giving up, her thoughts and feelings overwhelming her.
"You stole the fairy?" Evanna spoke slowly, her voice rising in disbelief. Cilv came forward, shushing her, bringing the jar forwards. Evanna then grabbed the top and started to open it.
"What are you doing?" Cilv asked incredulously.
"Freeing her, you kept her in your bag this whole time!" Evanna exclaimed and continued to open the jar.
True, she did keep the fairy inside her bag, but she did not know when to reveal her to the princess. The day’s events were more troublesome than confessing her part in the abduction of the fairy.
The fairy’s wings started to flap and barely flew out of the jar before collapsing in Evanna’s outstretched hand. The tiny movement made Evanna’s chest tighten, making her forget for a brief moment about the scene from earlier as she looked down at the little creature.
"You poor thing, do you need some water?" Evanna croaked. The little fairy’s head looked up anxiously before nodding her head.
