Penzilvana went to the siblings shop, It was early in the morning that time, so she was still so groggy, when she arrived, she processed what was in front of her, she became wide awake when she finally realises that the shop of the two siblings were not in any condition to entertain patrons.
"YELLA! MAISE!"
Penzilvana shouted immediately looking for the two siblings, she looked around the shop.
A lot of flowers were toppled over, that means there was a sign of a struggle, food was also on the floor, jam is smeared on the ground.
"Everything is still fresh"
Penzilvana closed the shop, pulling all the blinds down, that's when she spreads her beautiful wings, that were wrapped around her neck, she always disguises it as a silk scarf on her neck.
"Illuminate the path to the siblings"
The footprints of both the siblings and the culprit appeared, Penzilvana deducted that, the culprits carried the two either on their shoulders or carried them under their arm like luggage, since the footprints of the siblings disappeared.
Penzilvana immediately transformed into her small fairy form and exited the shop, through the crack of the window, she then spreads fairy dust in the air so that she could see the footprints.
"There you are..."
Penzilvana followed the tracks of the kidnappers, it wasn't as easy as it seems, since the tracks of the kidnappers are all over the place.
"It looks like they were planning this for some time now, why would their tracks be all over the place, in the first place? I can't believe that watching over kids, became such a tedious task"
Penzilvana complained, but then again this is her punishment, she must accept it even though she thinks this is very bothersome to her.
"All seeing eye, open"
Penzilvana saw the past and what happened, it looks like the owner of the footprints bought, rope as well as gags, not just that but sharp knives, Penzilvana's brows furrowed, they watched the siblings routine.
"It looks like they are observing their daily activities, what creeps"
Penzilvana followed the after image of the men, until they kidnapped the two siblings and carried them away, they went to an alley first, before they rode horses.
"That's why I couldn't track them down first, clever"
She followed the horses of the kidnappers until it stopped, she looks up to see a giant tree.
The horses are tied to the tree, the actual horses of the kidnappers, she hypnotised the animals to play dead.
She then followed the footprints of the culprit into an abandoned building, she went deeper until she found a flight of stairs behind a bookshelf, the opening is covered by a black cloth, but the draft is noticeable.
She went inside and went down, she met a steel gate, fortunately for her it had holes, she flies through the hole, she coughed when her nostrils inhaled smoke.
"Ugh, this pigs"
She says disgusted, she looks inside the dungeon but stops when a conversation started.
She needed information on who, did this, and who plotted to kidnap this young half fairies.
"Are you sure that we aren't going to be followed by the fairy of the Queen?"
"Oho...? They know the Queen had a fairy? Only a handful of people know that Maculata has a fairy with her"
"Yes, let's trust that noble"
"Noble?"
"It was strange though, why didn't he just kidnap the girls instead? They could easily pull it off, but they didn't"
"Because thugs like us do the dirty work for them, that is why we are the lowest worker for those nobles"
"Because the pay is good, I agreed, but I never wanted to do this"
"Suck it up, we have no choice"
"I wish, I could just be a normal worker for nobles"
"That's not going to happen anytime soon"
"Ha...I'll check up on the products"
The other man with the newspaper hummed playing a crossword puzzle on it, the man went down so did Penzilvana, following.
"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY FROM THIS!"
"You're still yapping?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"You guys don't know?"
"Don't know what?"
"Both of you are fairies, your blood is very valuable, you're also a treasure in this Kingdom"
"What are you talking about? Did your brain fogged up because of this smoke?"
"So you don't know, huh?"
"Stop it with the mysterious, cryptic words' asshole! Tell us already"
"Calm down, Yella!"
"We shouldn't calm down Maise, we are captives in this pigsty!"
"Hey!"
"Both of you are only privileged in this Kingdom because you hold a heavy significance, at least that's what we are told"
"...I see"
"What the...you look disappointed!"
"You don't have any tasty information, if that's all, you can go"
"This brat!"
The man lights up an incense stick, Penzilvana raises a brow at the man's actions, he then leaves muttering curses under his breath.
"Come on Maise, help me get out of this place"
"Okay..."
"What did that man mean, I wonder...?Aren't you curious, Yella?"
"About what that man said? No! Don't bother in thinking of what that useless man said to us, it's just words to mess us up in our heads"
"...Maybe the Queen knows something...?"
"The Queen is our friend, Maise"
"Aren't you curious?"
"Whatever our ancestors and the Queens ancestors had going on, it's none of our business "
"But it is..."
Maise suddenly dropped to the floor, Penzilvana also felt dizzy her flying beginning to become unstable, she lands under a candleholder barely holding onto her senses.
"Maise!?"
"I feel...sleepy"
"Hey-"
Yella dropped to her knees, her eyes becoming heavier, until she loses consciousness, Penzilvana wondered what was causing this.
"That strange incense the man suddenly lighted up"
Penzilvana was about to use her powers when her body started becoming numb.
"...Poison?"
She doesn't feel pain, 'It's a paralysing incense for fairies...I supppose' Her consciousness started fading.
'I should wake up! Wake up! I still have a mission to finish!'
Her eyes close and she drifted off to sleep.
-------------
"Penzilvana! Where do you think you are going?"
"I don't want to be here any more!"
"Penzilvana, are you running away from your duties?"
"I'm taking a break mom"
'Mom? Why can't I see her face? Why am I suddenly remembering my past? Is this the effect of the incense stick?
"Penzilvana, your father maybe tough on you, but he does it out of pure love and your best interest"
"...Mom, I don't think that royal life fits me"
'I was royalty...? Really? No way!'
"Penzilvana, just, if you can't handle his criticism, then just ignore it, alright?"
"Why am I chosen to inherit the throne? I don't want it, I have three older brothers, four elder sisters, and me and the rest are only children"
"You are pouting like that, meaning you are bothered"
"I AM!"
"Look, Penzilvana it is not because of you, it is because of the rose birthmark you have, everyone that has it is the chosen one to inherit the throne"
"You guys are determining the one's who will inherit the throne by this dirty stain on my skin?"
"It is not a dirty stain, Penzilvana"
"Don't tell me it is a beauty mark, mother?"
"To our people, it is"
"Our species has issues"
"Look, just try putting effort on what you do for now, Penzilvana, okay?"
"Okay"
"That's a good girl"
The woman embraces her tightly and kisses her forehead.
'I don't remember her any more...'
Penzilvana became quiet, she is trying hard to remember, but she isn't dreaming or recalling anything any more.
'What kind of thing is in that incense for me to recall that...?'
But then Penzilvana became scared for some reason, her whole body shivered in dread, she does not understand why though.
'Is my body not wanting to recall something? Why am I suddenly afraid?'
"Penzilvana~"
Penzilvana froze, her body shrunk, and she covers her ears, it was familiar at the same time not.
'Who is that...?'
"You deliberately forgot what you've done"
She shakes her head shouting to wake up already, she didn't want to remember an awful memory, that is trying to resurface.
She breathes in and out trying to calm herself out, she then thinks of the Queen and Peachy
'My two saviours, think of them! Don't think of anything else!'
She said to herself, the voice fades and the memory of Maculata, Peachy and her appeared.
"You look sleepy, Maculata"
"The weather is making me sleepy"
"Why don't we gather bugs?"
"NO"
"Are you afraid, Maculata?"
"I am not afraid of such small creatures"
"Let's see"
'Surprisingly enough, Maculata isn't afraid of bugs, unlike Peachy who freaked out seeing a small ring worm, Maculata was unfazed at the bug she was looking'
"Get that away, before Peachy arrives"
"Too late"
"Sister!"
"Penzilvana, get rid of it!"
"Let's introduce you to a friend"
"What is that-."
"A ring worm, look at it"
"Ah-"
'I laughed so hard that I forgot I was full at that time and puked out the food that I ate'
The memory fades, and she smiles, 'Even in a situation like this, both of you truly are my saviours'
--------------
She opens her eyes, rubbing the sleep out of her, she then jumped, remembering where she was.
"MAISEEEE! GIVE HER BACK!"
