Dance

{{Set in The Iron Daughter}}


Megan walked in, chilled to the bone, even in her long sleeved ice blue velvet dress. She walked into the ballroom, keeping her head high telling the winter fey in the room (Mab in particular) that she wasn't afraid of them. Even though she was.

{{I meant Meghan. Sorry I'm used to my own name, Megan. Oops.}}

((Just so you know we aren't really rping the books. we're kind of doing our own thing set in the world but the origonal people are still there if that makes sense....))

{{*Face palm* Oh. Ok.}}

((Thought I'd let you know :)))

Jessica let out a breath as she walked in. The ball was tomorrow and she just hoped everything was ready. She;d told the plans to her mother but Mad hadn't really said what she thought of them. There were more spots set up over the palace, including the garden and the courtyard...

William and Galen followed Jessica as she walked. Galen lost in thought not doing a very good job at being the captain of a guard. William on the other hand was on edge jumping or wincing at every sound

((Should Eliza join in or not? I don't mind it either way!))

((She could be there :) Or your other person who's name I can't remember right now....))



She let out a breath, running a hand through her hair. "Do you think everything will go alright tomorrow?" She asked Will. Their mother hadn't really commented much when she told her the plans.

((...I have another person?))

Eliza peeped into the ballroom, looking about so she could plan the decorations properly.

((haha yes! He was a fey guard or something. I don't remember his name but I know you had him:P))


Jessica glanced over her shoulder, giving Eliza a slight nod. The humans had a better idea of how to decorate for this than she did...

((He's coming back to me, yeah! Alright, I'll re-learn him and jump back in then.))

Eliza nodded back, taking it as her signal to join them. She walked across the ballroom.

Charlotte follows close behind Eliza, she hated the throne room. She stay close to Eliza side looking at the ground.


William glance at his little sister. "Everything will go fine." He whispers meaning it but he was still worry

"What's wrong?" she asked her brother, knowing that tone in his voice. "What's bugging you?" that he was worried about something was making her worried. She just wanted this to go right....

Eliza glanced back at Charlotte and saw she was relatively uneasy. "Are you okay?" she wondered.

"I don't know just have a feeling. You know that feeling when everything is going right so something must go wrong?" He replies to his sister feeling that feeling haunting his every step

"hate it in here." She answer her friend glancing around as she bites her lip

Jessica's frown deepened at that. "I mean having the Summer Fey here won't be fun. Especially with all the tension lately. But there will be guards. Everything will go fine."

"Why? If I can ask...?" she inquired, looking around.

William nods but he still kept worry look. "Hopefully the tension will be ease.... I don't want to go to war." he said already thinking of the horrors of war


"Well everything I am in here, I had to watch court which is quite terrible." She said with a shrug but adding. "But this was where I met my first fey in NeverNever..."

"I just hope I did everything right. That nothing I did upsets the Summer king and Queen in a way that leads to war.....I'd assume mother would have said something about it if I had though."

"A lot of things happened here for you then...what's wrong with court though?" Eliza wondered, seeing as she hadn't seen them in session yet.

William let out a small sigh. "Mother does what she pleases if she wanted a war to start, we may never see it coming."


Charlotte gave a soft laugh. "A bunch of feys are listening to The Queen hanging off her every word.... But somedays when humans like you and me come..... Well some humans aren't as lucky as us."

Eliza moved in more worriedly. "What do they do to those unfortunate humans?" she whispered, as if afraid to hear the answer.

"I know she does what she wants but why would she want a war? That makes no sense! Even she has to see that." Sure there always a few little fights near the border but a full out war?

"They become slaves, to forever dance or sing or whatever The queen wish of them." She whispers feeling a grim face.

"You can never know with mom." He pointed out again with a sigh

"But war?" She pressed. "Why would she want a war? One that we might not win?" She knew there mother was a bit crazy at times but this....

*their

"That sounds awful..." she thought out loud but realized all the instruments and music paper she had received from them - had they expected the same from her? "Then what about us? Why did they bring us here and not have us become their slaves?"

William sighs."Dont get mad at me for keeping this from you but Mother met with the summer court a few weeks back and they had a fight. That partly why she wanted you design the ball." He whispers so no one will over here


"We were ones of the lucky ones. I came here on my free will, that always interests The Queen more and let me off the hook" She said thinking about the poor people who weren tlucky

Her shoulders slumped a bit. "So you think she wanted me to mess up?" She asked him, a slight breeze blowing past them. "I- What was the fight even about?"

"What does she expect from me then? A performance? A composition?" Eliza wondered. She didn't want to anger the queen - she didn't sound like a forgiving fey.

"Land again." He sighed. It was always about land it seem like. "She says Winter is losing land because of The Iron Fey and she says that Summer is gaining land."


"Just stck close to me and I will make sure you stay safe. I wouldn't let you be turn into a slave." She said looking at Eliza with a hard look

Jessica shook her head. 'That's crazy though! We both lost land to the iron Fey."

"Thanks," she said before looking around. "Now the party doesn't look so appealing to me anymore. Can I meet some of these slaves?" Eliza wondered to her.

"Sorry Eliza, I should of kept my mouth shut about humans here." Charlotte mumbles before nodding. "You could...."

"I know, but our mother doesn't believed that. Saying Queen Megan is the summer king daughter so he must have more land." William said

She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Do you think I did anything that would anger the Summer Fey then?" If Mab hadn't said that there was anything wrong.....Then she must have...somewhere.

"Where are they? Are they okay? I mean, are they traumatized? Normal?" she asked feverishly. This place, that once looked so magical, was now terrifying.

"No No everything is fine!!!" William reassured her quickly putting a hand on her shoulder


"Calm down Eliza!!" She said in a hush voice looking around before taking a deep breath. "They live in rooms below the main floor." She point to her feet

"If mother does start a war." she shook her head. She'd always known her mother was crazy but something like this? She'd never have thought Mab was capable of.

"Then there will be problems........" He sighed that all he could say about the subject

She looked at the floor in curiosity. "When can we see them?" she asked more quietly. The idea was taunting her.

"Lets just hope it doesn't come to that." Tomorrow. The ball was tomorrow....

"Well anytime you wish too......" She mumbles thinking this was a very bad idea

William nods. "It probably wont." He said hopefully

"How about now? The royals are occupied," she offered. When was a better time in fact?

She nodded as well, hoping that her brother was right. "Well can you think of anything else we need to do before tomorrow?"

"Nope, you did a fine fine job sis." He said beaming proudly

((Sorry!))

"I hope so..." she sighed, list in her own thoughts.

He nudged her looking over at her

((idk what to say.....and you didn't reply with Charlotte to Giulia ;)))
