I can understand why humans gather there, at Trinity. It is quite impressive. An
excitement that was almost an entity reverberated in the atmosphere. Students were busy
coming and going, talking and laughing, playing music, playing at learning, playing &
playing & and a sudden feeling welled inside of me for these humans. Their lives are so
short, and yet they strive for so much. I could see why Breslyn becomes attached.
Aida had stopped tugging at me, so I turned and smirked; she was looking at the
human guys. She is always looking at the guys (human and Fae). I pinched her.
 Ow! What was that for?
 Aida, have you forgotten why we are here? Desmond. You want to find Desmond.
Aida giggled and said,  Yes, I do, but, Ete, only just look at some of these human
males. Are they not worthy a look or two & ?
 Aida, I thought you told me Desmond was the one for you?
 And so he is, but that doesn t preclude me from looking & 
I laughed and took her arm.  Come on. We have to get busy.
Aida giggled again and whispered,  Ete, I like the way they look us up and down. It
lacks finesse, but it is very exciting. Our males have quite forgotten how to show a
woman she is beautiful with a look like that. I like it very much.
Aida is incorrigible, and I laughed.  Never mind, Princess. We have work if we are
going to find the  love of your life Desmond , right?
Aida nodded absently, and I looked around at the other females. It was true: the male
humans were giving us looks that were downright  hot . I wondered if we were dressed
inappropriately.
We were both wearing Lauren Capri jeans. I was wearing a pretty blue tank top, and
Aida was wearing a little red halter thing that exposed her midriff. I breathed a sigh of
relief as I noted that most of the female human students milling around us were dressed
similarly.
Aida tugged at my fingers.  Ete, are you throwing any of your Lianhan out? Because
those guys over there look like they are panting and ready to crawl over to us.
I laughed and gave my auburn hair a toss.  No, I am not throwing any of my Lianhan
power off. Now pay attention.
 Then it is just because your gray eyes are so intense and your body says, I am sex,
come and look &  Aida laughed out loud.
I smacked her playfully.  You are outrageous. No wonder you are a trial to Breslyn.
She sighed  I am, you know, a trial to him. She regarded me and whispered,  You
should use your Lianhan on Bres, full force & 
 No. That would be no different than drugging him, spelling him, and having him
under false pretenses. I want him to come to realize that he loves me. That was what I
wanted. My Lianhan power could make a human male die in ecstasy. It could capture the
lust and need of a male Fae. I wanted to do neither. Illusion was a wonderful asset for
many instances, but not in this. I wanted genuine love.
Aida s sparkling, many-shaded blue eyes were lit with amusement, and she put an arm
around me as she tossed her long, dark blond hair back over her pretty shoulders.
 Ooh & now if I weren t so attached to my dear, handsome Desmond, I would be
making my way over there & look at him. She indicated a tall, ruggedly good-looking
guy hanging with his friends not too far away.
 You are impossible. I doubt you will ever be faithful to anyone. Aida always made
me laugh. She was, I thought, too light-hearted to really commit to anyone.
Aida threw up her hands.  Never mind. I can look, can t I? Besides, it doesn t count if
you play with a human. Humans are not forever.
We Fae often simplify matters into this form. However, it still made me frown.  I
know that, and even so, I find it does count for me. Breslyn cared for that human woman,
that Reigate girl, and even though I knew it was not a  forever feeling , it hurt me, when I
knew he was rushing off to see her. I sighed.  Now he is busy with another mortal, and
although I know he is not really attached to her yet, it still worries me, Aida. This one is
half Fae.
 Oh you mean the little faeling Willow? She is Desmond s daughter.
 What? Desmond s daughter? Are you sure? Oh no & this can t be good. This is
awful.
 Why, Ete?
 Don t you find it too much of a coincidence that Desmond was taken after the queen
called on Willow Lang for help?
 Oh, I never thought of that. Aida wrung her hands,  Ete, this gets worse by the
second. Should we tell the little  Faeling Willow about her father?
My nose wrinkled it does that when I am solving a problem.  Don t call her that. It
is not becoming. She is Fae. The only difference between her and us is that she is not
immortal and she could be if she so chooses. The queen has already granted her the
elixir. She hasn t yet chosen to take it. You know, Aida & I watched her from another
dimension after Breslyn met with her. I could have liked her, if Breslyn were not so
interested in her.
 Do be serious, Ete. You can t believe Breslyn would choose her over you? Aida [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
