This chapter is when I started to
have problems figuring out where this story was going – I have a general idea,
but it was and still is kinda fuzzy. Plus, life
started getting in the way & I lost the momentum I’d had on the first 7
chapters.
Anyway, here’s Guni
for ya.
**************************************************
Guni sat
in the crotch of a narrow tree, watching her some of her cousins play in the
nearby stream. They splashed and teased each other, flitting about and
laughing. She snorted contemptuously and turned her attention to the
conversation taking place in the branches above her.
The forests of northeastern India
were the most densely populated place as faeries were concerned, so it made
sense to have the large reunions there every couple hundred years. Forest
faeries, castle faeries, urban faeries,
snow faeries, and all the rest gathered to gossip about human
development, their newest masters or mates, or whatever else struck their
fancy.
Almost a dozen of Guni’s European
cousins lounged above her, playing with each other’s hair.
“Such a large turnout this time!” A
well-endowed amber mountain faery exclaimed. “I mean, even Guni came!” The
green faery grumbled below them and pretended not to hear.
“Yes, and not everyone’s here yet
either,” replied Maren as she intricately braided the other’s long tresses. The
silvery Maren was one of the eldest and had flitted about the glens of southern
England longer than anyone could remember.
“Who else is coming?” asked
another.
“Well, I don’t know of everyone,
but we’ve only been here a few days and I heard that Ashaya
and her tribe were most definitely coming from the Sahara. As well as Tasha & some of the others from Siberia.”
“What of Taku?” asked one of the
youngest. Everyone nodded; the cheerful castle faery had been a favorite for
many centuries.
Maren scowled at Taku’s mention. “I
doubt she’s coming, or that she’d even remember the reunion,” she spat.
At the disappointed protests of her
companions she explained. “When those fool Tokugawa lost control of Japan, she left.”
Guni snapped her head up. She hadn’t heard of Taku’s move. “She took up with
some vampire lord in eastern Europe and now she’s
become infatuated with him. Or at least that’s what I hear.” Maren sighed and
shook her head in disapproval. “Nasty son of a bitch, too, from what I’m told.”
Guni shifted uncomfortably. She
only knew of one vampire in eastern Europe, and in her
brief experience he was nasty. For
the life of her, she couldn’t envision the foolishly bright-spirited faery
hanging around that bastard. She frowned to herself and went back to ignoring
the group perched above her.
The next day Guni sat on a stone by
the water, chomping her way through a fruit almost as big as she was. A sudden
commotion to her right drew her attention as she continued to munch casually on
the juicy pulp. A large number of faeries had assembled in a tight group around
someone, squealing and vying for attention.
An authoritative voice cut over the
rest of the excited fey. “AAAAALRIGHT! Alright! Calm down, you lot!” Maren
chided the others. “There’ll be plenty of time for you all to pester Taku over
the next few weeks.”
A pleasant voice cut in. “Oh, but
I’ll only be here a day or two. Master Cain is bringing home a new ward and
he’ll need me there to help look after her,” the affectionate tone informed.
There was a chorus of disappointed outbursts at this, but Guni didn’t notice.
She’d started and dropped her fruit
at the mention of that name. Eyes
wide, she zipped to hover above the protesting group of faeries. Guni demanded,
“You’re working for Cain?! As in, Cain
Tepes?!!”
The pink faery happily nodded,
almost beaming back at Guni.
“But…he’s a monster!” Guni cried
out. The group was taken aback at the normally aloof pixie’s outburst. Taku
frowned, brow creased in insult.
“Look here. You serve a vampire
too, I’ve heard. How dare you judge my Master harshly?! Go away, Guni.”
Guni bristled, anger radiating from
her, and causing the others to draw back. Taku had turned away from her in a
pouting manner. Shaking with rage, Guni did just as she’d been told. She left.
And she didn’t go back.
