The Winter Fairy
***
"Would you help us if we let you free?" Elena asked as she orbed him out leaving his two hands chained to a wall.
"You don't even know me? I have come in search of my missing brother Biddy. My name is Bailey from the kingdom of Losspinds. Our kingdom got wiped out during a great war of rebirth against foreign leprechauns. My only brother was left alone while I journeyed in search of our parents only to return and find all my people and kingdom destroyed!
I was really terrified and devastated and I had no other choice but to go in search of my missing brother hoping to find him. That's how I landed up here in your realm.
Elena with a heavy heart wiped silently gazing at his eyes as each word cut her into two.
"Am so sorry…I had no idea. Let's have an alliance then?" Elena said getting a piece of paper and a bird feather
"What Alliance are you talking about?" Bailey asked as he rattled with his chains.
"You need to find your brother and I need to save my kingdom. If you agree to help me out in my mission then I assure you that I will make sure I go in search of your missing brother. What do you think? Fair enough?" Elena asked, signing up first.
"Fair. Alright then it's a deal. I'll help you save your kingdom as you do your own part." Bailey said using his Telekinesis to move the feather.
Elena gets really speechless and surprised as she watches in surprise.
"You have telekinesis??" Elena asked surprisingly as the feather and paper drew to Elena.
"Yes I do and many other powers. Now that our trust has been signed can you take off these? My wrist is about to hurt?" Bailey said, stretching his two hands at Elena.
Elena frees him while Vinix watches their conversation from a distance.
"Welcome Bailey, I hope you do enjoy your stay in Winterfell." Vinix said, offering her hand.
"I hope to. Let's just see how things turn out." Bailey said, shaking Vinix's hand as they Both exchanged casual smiles to each other.

At dusk in Winterfell…
A screeching noise was heard ramperd in Winterfell. The noise was said to have sounded like a crying baby which lures its victims and possesses them instantly.
The noise was not only just heard in Winterfell but in all the seven kingdoms. This brought great fear even to the dark region. Queen Lilth had sent some of her minions to go around Mephistopheles in search for the unknown ghost but they all ended up killed, possesse
and taken never to return.
It really made queen Lilith really worried because her people were in danger by this mysterious appearance and disappearance of the screeching ghost.
Now all the kingdoms were in distress that they had to keep their personal issue aside and decided to work together to dig into the strange incident and if possible save their kingdom from perishing.
"How do they think good vs evil good actually work together? Is either good wins or evil wins. Let's just see how the story plays out."
At Winterfell…
***
"What shall we do Elena? It gets worse day by day. Almost a quarter of our people are going missing. We really have to do something if not Winterfell will be gone!" Elevina said in desperation as she could only imagine the horrors.
"Don't worry Elevina, everything will be okay. I have an idea that might just work but it's a really crazy idea but we just have to if we should ever have the chance in saving our kingdom and that of other supernaturals." Elena said taking a decrome book of spells to meet Vinix.
"Where are you going with that book?" Elevina said seeing Elena with a book.
"I'm meeting Vinix. I'll need her help once again. You should come along too in case I get in trouble." Elena said, giving a smile at Elevina.
"Is there any time you don't get in trouble? Of course I'll come." Elvenia said, smiling back at Elena.
"Am really glad you're still with me Elevina…forgive me I had to erase your memory and keep you from the truth but I had no choice." Elena said in her thoughts trying to stop herself from crying as they both flew to the sky to meet Vinix.
Now arriving in Vinix cottage. Elena makes a knock on her door which after some seconds Vinix opens up letting them in.
"Wait what? That's quite risky Elena? How do you expect that to work? Remember we're dealing with queen Lilith and she's not to be trusted?!" Vinix said feeling really tense and uneasy.
"Yes I know…We need her if we ever have a chance to save the whole kingdom from destruction. Elevina, what do you say?" Elena asked, turning to Elevina who was going through some spell books.
"huh? Me? Well…honestly Vinix is right but I trust you. You always come through everything. We could give it a try? But don't say I didn't warn you if anything should go wrong." Elevina said glancing at the both of them before she went back to flipping some spell books.
"So it's settled. We need Queen Lilith's help. All we have to do now is to make a trap that can prove challenging for her." Elena said as she transformed herself into queen Lilith herself.
…Oh wow I didn't expect that! Did you guys expect it? Elena Is really that brave but let's hope her bravery doesn't overshadow her…
At Mephistopheles…
Two of her minions Mantus and Dagon came to her chambers alerting her of more tragic incidents of her people.
"My queen, there have been more reports of our people missing. Mantus said directing his gaze on queen Lilith
"Gather everyone at the Arena now I have an announcement to make. Understood? ; " Yes my queen." Queen Lilith said as she walked out to get prepared.
"Perfect, that's okay…now let's begin." Elena said, directing Vinix to position a glass door mirror in front of her from a distance.
"Are you sure this is going to work? I have a bad feeling about it." Vinix asked as she stood back away from the mirror.
"Trust me it will work! I just need…the right timing." Elena said, seeing Lilith's reflection through the mirror.
She sees her getting to an arena where she sees different grusom demons gathered around for an announcement. She waits for Liith to start talking; that's when she enchants " votex switchire sangnu polymonudium!" Suddenly Elena was using Lilith's voice instead of hers.
"Greetings demons of Mephistopheles! I, your queen, declares that there would be an alliance between Winterfell and Mephistopheles to stop the rampage ghost of which we all know is coming for us…yes rest assured it's just for awhile and no one should dare question my orders if not you know the consequences."
Lilth said as everyone was surprised by the queen's announcement. Elena switches back between her and Lilth but some traces of Lilth's soul weren't released completely. Which moved into Vinix's body. Making Vinix vulnerable to demonic attacks.
Lilith gets back to her chamber and doesn't seem to remember what had happened earlier. Vinix congratulates Elena and hugs her together with Elevina.
Both Winterfell and Mephistopheles get prepared to stop the mysterious strange screeching noise once and fall all.
Elena sets up a magic force field to neutralise and suppress any Powers performed and gets help from Lilth herself as she sends a shadow demon to possess the ghost making it numbed and easy to attack.
The noise echoed around all the kingdom but those other ghosts were replications of the main ghost. The ghost gets trapped in the magic Force field screeching in terro.
"* Beastly screams* rahhhh! Rahhhh!" The ghost continues screeching.
A possessed demon enters the ghost as she tries communicating in the form of a fairy. Elena sees through the demon's eyes and notices that the fairy looks quite familiar.
"Are you not Aubrey? I have heard about your story." Elena asked, removing the force field as she came closer to Aubrey.
"H…how do you know my name? Wait, those eyes…hair…It can't be? You are Demetria's daughter?" Aubrey asked as she fell down to her knees in tears.
"Yes indeed I am. I guess you're surprised. My mom showed me what happened…how you planned to kill her…you left me wondering and thinking I had no mother?! Why would you do such a thing? She trusted you? She loved you?!" Elena said crying as she was filled with rage to kill Aubrey ghost out of existence.
"I didn't want to…I was just so angry and envious of your mother even though she was foolish to trust me but I did really care about her, I really did. After I was banished out I decided to seek my revenge preying on any dark or light supernaturals till I'm satisfied! I just wanted to be recognized by someone, anyone. Am truly sorry." Aubrey said, gazing into Elena's eyes.
" I forgive you…yes I do. I recognize you for telling me who you are and why you did it. Am very such my mother wouldn't have loved it any better. Now I release you from your bondage Aubrey. Go and rest now and don't come back again." Elena said, raising Aubrey up from the ground.
"Thank you Elena, that's all I ever wanted. Now my mind is at peace and am free from my guilt. Do take care and do what you must do as a winter fairy you are." Aubrey said as the shadow demon came out, turning her back to a ghost. Elena watches as Aubrey disappears till she vanquishes completely.
Elena cries for a while and decides to pray to the moon goddess for her mother. She picks up a stone In her hand and says,
"I hope I can also be free of my guilt. Forgive me mother." Elena said, tossing the stone inside the river as it falls endless to the bottom.
Two days later…
Lilith didn't get herself well as she sensed a fairy always coming up in her head. She tries to ignore it but it wouldn't just stop. She sends for Aldmeris who explains to her what it meant.
"So you're saying that I got hypnotised by Elena and she somehow exchanged our souls? No wonder I felt like that? Who is the fairy you say you saw?" Queen Lilith asked Aldmeris, flicking out her tongue.
"Her name is Vinix, she seems like a healing fairy based on the essence I picked up. She might be very useful to us." Aldmeris said, showing her the image of the fairy through a magic crystal ball.
" Vinix,'' you say. Dagon, Mantus, please bring our guests. We have a lot of catching up to do." Queen Lilith said, as they both teleported out to capture Vinix.
Vinix too had troubles sleeping at night wondering what went wrong.
She woke up the following day to see claw marks on her back and neck. She became really terrified that she had to tell Elena.
She flew to the castle the following day to visit Elena. Elena sees her worried face and asks her calmly.
"Vinix? Are you okay? What's the problem?" Elena asked, searching into Vinix's troubled eyes.
"N…no I am not! Am not! See, have a look!" Vinix said, showing Elena the claw marks on her neck and back.
"W…what happened? No…don't tell me…" Elena gets interrupted by Vinix's harsh , sore voice.
"Yes Elena! I knew something bad would happen but never listened! Now I have to pay the price. I just hope it doesn't result in my Life, I am so terrified. It's not just claw marks but these claw marks give access to demons to possess me or possibly kill me!" Vinix said, catching her breath.
"Ok fine, how about we…" Elena gets interrupted by Vinix breaking voice.
"No! Am done with all your plans! I have to fix what you did by myself and please don't involve Elvenia she mustn't know okay?! Bye!" Vinix said, leaving the castle back to her cottage.
Vinix finally arrives panicking and getting really paranoid. She tossed every item in sight, scattering her hair careless. Sweating and panting she tries to read a spell to calm her down but gets interrupted by two demons which teleported in her cottage.
She tries to escape the two demons hiding at the back of a box. She gets a piece of paper and writes; "Help me! If anyone reads this, I have been captured by two…" Vinix gets interrupted as she is shocked by one of the demons.
Her letter falls recklessly from her hand as she struggles to catch her breath. Luckily she saw some marbles in a jar and manges to pour them out, arranging them leaving a trail for anyone who manages to come to her rescue.
Vinix gets unconscious as she's taken captive by two demons to Mephistopheles. Elena gets really worried about not hearing from Vinix for two days and decides to pay her a visit.
Arriving at her cottage she sees her windows locked with no light when she tries to look through her window. She decided to knock on her door but it took longer than expected.
"Vinix! Vinix! It's E…Elena! I came to apologize to you for the trouble I caused you. Please open up, I am worried. Vinix? Are you there? That's strange?" Elena said as she turned the number to find out it's been opened all this while which really proved suspicious.
Vinix doesn't leave her door open and she sure as hell doesn't waste time in opening her door so what exactly could be the problem?
Elena enters Inside her cottage and to her surprise she she's Vinix cottage in a complete mess. It's as if she was attacked or struggling about something but what exactly?
Elena flies in slowly gazing at the sight in dismay. She sees a piece of paper rumpled and decides to pick up. What she read baffled her.
"Help me! If anyone reads this, I have been captured by two…" Elena reads In her thoughts trying to comprehend what was really going on.
"Captured by two what? Vinix? Oh my God…what have I done?" Elena said, wiping bitterly trying to stop the tears coursing down from her eyes.
She sees something that got her attention. Trail of marbles arranged in line. She followed the trail of marbles but the trail stopped at a wall.
"Don't tell me?... Queen Lilith! Am coming for you Vinix don't you worry. She's not getting away with it so easily. I just hope it is not too late." Elena said taking back with her the letter and a marble back to the castle for further investigations.
Let's just hope Elena isn't too late. We can only hope everything will be alright. Keep reading to know What's going to happen In the next chapter.
