Chapter Eleven

Dash and I both spun around to find an elderly elf standing behind us. She smelled like candy, and her hair was gray with age, which meant she must have been ancient. All magical beings aged at an extraordinarily slow rate, so this one must have been hundreds of years old.

She was wearing a long, woven gown and was using a wooden cane to help prop her up. There was a knowing look in her eyes as she looked us up and down. I found it hard to focus on her too much as the ground kept lurching beneath me. I felt a little like I was standing on a boat, only we weren’t at sea.

“It’s been a long time since any of your lot have found their way in here,” the elf remarked. “I can’t remember the last time I saw a light being, let alone two.”

My thoughts were foggy as I tried to make out what she was saying, and I knew I wasn’t nearly as lucid as I should be. It probably should have worried me that a dark being knew we didn’t belong here, but for some reason, I wasn’t bothered.

Dash touched my elbow, and I glanced up at him. “You’re swaying,” he murmured.

I wrenched my arm out of his grasp and shook my head. “I certainly am not.” I probably spoke too loudly, because I now had the elf’s full attention.

The woman’s eyes narrowed on me, and she started tutting. “And this one has had far too much fairy dust. You both better come with me before she completely loses it.”

Dash didn’t move to follow the woman, and I stayed firmly at his side. “How do we know we can trust you?” he asked.

“Because Sitzie told me you were here,” the woman responded. “She wasn’t too concerned about what happened to the claus, but she did seem rather worried about the light shifter.”

“Who’s Sitzie?” I asked.

“The fairy we brought back,” Dash answered.

I nodded. With a stupid name like that, I should have assumed it was the fairy.

“That still doesn’t give us a good reason to trust you,” Dash continued.

“Well, it’s up to you. Come or don’t come, I don’t care either way,” she replied. “But that claus needs help, and I’m sure neither one of you will like this forest much once night descends. There’s a reason we all live in the trees.”

“Can you give us a moment?” Dash pulled me aside. He kept looking over his shoulder at the elf as he went to speak to me. “Do you think we should go with her?” Dash murmured.

“Sure, she seems great.”

He frowned, apparently not agreeing with my assessment of the situation. “Remind me not to ask you anything when you’re high on fairy dust.”

“I’m not high on fairy dust.” I giggled at the end of my sentence, which earned me another disapproving look. I wasn’t doing a very good job of convincing Dash I was fine, but I couldn’t help that he looked so funny when he was scowling at me.
