Fairies who don’t listen
Will not hear my voice.
Make my next words so loud
They won’t have a choice.
Facing the three arguing fairies, I shouted, “STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!” The words boomed so loudly that leaves shivered all the way into the forest. There was no way anyone could have missed it.
The fairies stopped what they were doing, looking stunned. Oculura stared at me, her mouth opening and closing like a fish’s.
“Wow!” Dyspepsia said, twiddling her fingers in her ears. “That was loud! I guess my hearing isn’t as bad as I thought. Forget the ear collection. I’m going inside to have a nice cup of tea and some of those pastries!”
“No more fighting!” I said, my voice normal again. “Is everyone all right?”
I looked around, but no one appeared to be hurt. The magic didn’t even seem to have changed anyone. I was relieved, because witches’ magic isn’t nearly as strong as fairies’, so I couldn’t have undone their mischief. It would have been up to them to change their victims back. From the scowls on their faces, I didn’t think they’d want to.
“I’m leaving!” Chervil declared. “There’s no point in arguing with idiots!” A moment later, he was tiny and darting off into the forest.
“I was still talking to him!” Poppy declared. She was tiny and had flown off before I could blink.
“Wait for me!” cried Sumac, taking off after them. Maple and Aspen left moments later.
“Would you look at that!” wailed Oculura. “That stupid podium is crushing my flowers!”
The podium was still hopping around the garden, leaving a path of squashed flowers behind it. Oculura pointed a finger at it, but all her spell did was cover the podium with blue feathers.
“I don’t think that’s going to work,” I told her. “Fairy magic has its own rules.”
“I know,” she said, “but I thought it was worth a try. I’ll just have to get those fairies back here to undo the damage they’ve done! I wish I knew which one was responsible. I do know one thing, though. This is the last time I’ll ever let a politician hold an event at my house! Pardon me, Emma. It was nice seeing you again!”
Oculura darted into the cottage. When she came out, she was carrying a battered old broom. Shaking her head at the sight of the hopping podium, she jumped on the broom and flew off into the forest.
“Maybe we should stay and clean up,” I said to Eadric.
“I need to go,” said one of the remaining fairies, and four more left as well.
“We could help out,” Eadric said, surveying the damage. “Although Adara won’t like it. That’s funny. I don’t see her anywhere.”
“I didn’t see her leave,” I said as I looked around. “Adara! Are you there?”
“Maybe she went inside,” said Eadric.
“I suppose it’s possible, but I don’t think that—Ow! Something bit my ankle!”
I looked down. A small brown mouse was gazing up at me.
“Adara, is that you?” I asked when it waved its paw.
I bent down to pick up the mouse.
