The car moved fast as it drove away from the empty fields toward the city I had been trying to get to. Part of me was happy that I had at least chosen the correct way to walk while lost. My stomach growled, and I pressed a hand to it.

"We'll be in the city soon," Terra said. "My kitchen staff will make you whatever you want."

She smiled at me as if we were reunited, long-lost friends. It made me uncomfortable. I felt safer on the Rose Circus train than I did with her and those people had tried to kill me. There was no logical reason for my fears, and intuition had never been my strength. If it were, I might have avoided falling for the absolute wrong boy in high school. I’d only dated one other guy since him and that was a disaster. Since then, I’d sworn of dating because I didn't trust my gut when it came to my romantic choices. The feelings I got around Brenon were a prime example of why I should not be allowed to date.

"They didn't hurt you, did they?" Terra asked.

Startled by her question, I stuttered a few times, trying to find my words. Where did I begin? I looked at my knees, pressed together as close to the door as I could get.

Terra let out a sigh. "You aren't the first human that group of freaks has harmed. I'm just glad I found you before they could hurt you any more."

Her expression seemed kind, and she sounded genuine. Why did she give me such a bad feeling? Maybe she wasn't the one I should be afraid of. I knew whatever I stumbled into was bigger than me. Bigger even than some curse that the beings of the Rose Circus were concerned with. "What's going on here? Are you a..." I wasn't sure if it was rude to ask somebody if they were a supernatural creature.

She raised her eyebrows, encouraging me to continue.

"Were you part of the circus?" I finished.

"Gods, no. Is that what you think this is about?" She leaned closer to me. "What exactly did they tell you?"

I recalled the curse, the different creatures, the threats on my life. What should I tell her? Something was still nagging at the pit of my stomach warning me not to trust her. You don't owe those people anything. I straightened in my seat. I didn't even know those people, creatures, whatever they were. Why not just spill? So far, at least Terra seemed to be trying to help me.

She leaned closer to me. "You can tell me anything; you're safe here."

In an instant, I felt all of my hesitation and fear release. She had saved me from the middle of nowhere, after all. I took a deep breath. "They told me they were fairies and other things. They said they were cursed, but they didn't want me to break the curse."

The whole story tumbled out. I told her about my brother and how I kept getting sucked into the Rose Circus.
