6 Chance Meetings - The Ugly (1/2)

Olivia couldn't take it anymore she needed to leave.Especially after facing the one person she didn'twant to run into.Big round tears started to run down her face once she made eye contact with Eli.She felt her face flush and decided to flee instead of fight as Blair so proudly did.

She pushed herself through the 4 boys and ran out of the cafe.Blair had been poking her index finger into the slightly built boy's chest as she was attacking him with her words when she caught sight of Olivia running away.

Her hand instantly dropped to her side and she didn't know what to do.Autumn grabbed Blair's hand, walked up to Eli, swiftly knocked the book out of his hand, looked up at him, stared for a few seconds and finally decided flipped him off.She turned to Blair and squeezed her hand before they started their chase after Olivia.All Blair could do after were utter a few words of admiration to her friend ”I love you Autumn” as the both rushed out of the cafe.

....

The young maidens spoke nervously to one another as they looked upon the eldest sister for guidance.The elder sister showed no expression on her face, she stood tall and unyielding as she looked upon the insect known as Norell.

Her eyes were cold, her head held high, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders down to her waist, while her flawless white skin glowed under the moon light.Never breaking the gaze from this man she spoke to the maidens ”Young ones if this man's stories move your heart then I permit you to leave with him and meet his companions.You will live among them for 30 sunrises.

On the night of the next Harvest moon if you truly found love among his companions bring him back to me as I will give them a test to see if he is worthy of your love.”The 3 maidens' eyes opened wide with excitement towards the elder sister's words ”Be warned though that if the man you have chosen is not worthy he will die by my hands and you young ones will be forever be trapped as fairies of the spring.”the 3 maidens started to shake with fear and were starting to back away from Norell.

Norell could not let this happen, he knew the type of people his companions were and was not going to let them escape. ”Beautiful goddess, my friends know the harshness of the world outside of your realm and have prevailed time and time again.We all come from different parts of the world yet we found peace with each other's company.

I will be upfront with my friends when I introduce your sisters to them and warn them of the risk, if they choose to not peruse your sisters then I will protect them until I can personally return them safely to you.”

”Do as you please.The choice to part from this realm is not mine to make but yours.” she said courtly.

....

Olivia had her taken her blazer off, folded it neatly and placed it on top of her arms.She thought she could cheer herself up by coming to the park to listen to her favorite fairy tale but the story area had been infested with couples cuddling each other on top of picnic blankets.

The fairy tale of the 4 founders can only be heard twice a day 2 times a week and a lot of couples believed that if they were to take their lover's to the reading and confessed their undying love they too could live happily ever after as the founders did.Olivia could feel the burning sensation of her tears wanting to escape again.Not wanting to cause a scene she quietly got up andstarted walking towards the fountain as she quickly texted her friends her location.

It was almost already 5:00 p.m. and the drivers would be picking up the girls in an half an hour.Olivia sat on the bench that Eli had occupied earlier that day, she looked at the spot were she was standing this morning and realized he could clearly see herself ogling him.If he just look away from his book he would have seen her too.

Tears started to roll down her face again, she hugged her folded blazer and silently sobbed.A few minutes later Blair and Autumn ran up to her.Blair looking extremely exhausted while beads of sweat rolled down her face while Autumn looked refreshed and was ready to run another lap through the city.

”Why did you not answer the phone” Blair said in between gasps of air.

”....”
