After reading a few chapters Grace put her book away and started to get ready for bed, going to her vanity the Princess took down her long red hair. Looking at herself in the mirror for a few seconds, she frowned reaching up to the bandage on her neck. The bite no longer even hurt nor even felt like it was there, the tape on the bandage however felt like it was pulling on her soft skin. Gently she pulled the bandage off to look at what she thought would be a gruesome scene, surely the bite from the wolf trying to rib out her throat would still look bloody and mangled. 

What she didn’t figure she would see was her skin perfectly soft and healed, the only sign of the bite from the night before was the light pink scars that matched a bite mark. Such a thing did not match the redness of the bandage from her bleeding earlier. Gently she rubbed her hand over the mark in shock, feeling the scar, before pulling herself away from the mirror and laying down on her bed.

She would have to bandage the scar up again in the morning to keep her father from worrying, but for the night she would leave it off. With a sigh Grace pulled one of her pillows over her head. Now that it was calm and quiet, the sound of whimpering repeated over and over again in her head. She wanted to go back to the woods! She wanted to go to see Zari! If it wasn’t for that damn bodyguard she would be there right now instead of trying to sleep. Grace let out a quiet whine rolling over again.

The fairy grinned widely as the wolf defended herself and blaming the Minotaur for what happened with the girl, knowing that she clearly was getting to her. It was so fun teasing the big grounded creatures that couldn’t reach her. After all what fun was there in being quick if she couldn’t tease the others creatures. 

The fairy laughed as the wolf tried to bite her, watching the wolf’s reaction to her suggestion of a deal. Fairies loved making deals, because even though they had magic, there were things even they couldn’t do being so tiny. The fairy clapped her hands together happily as the wolf asked what the deal was she wanted. [b]“Oh yay! A deal with the wolfy!”[/b] She squeaked happily before finally being as serious as possible for her. 

[b]“It’s really simple wolfy. I lately lost one of the humans I had captured and she got away back to her home. It made it impossible for me to return to my tree. So…if the wolfy lets me have one of her trees for a little while, where I’ll be safe. Sapphire will give the wolfy a way to talk to miss ginger!”[/b] The fairy explained cheerfully, before watching the wolf think about her deal before quickly adding her promise to keep away from the humans while she was in Zari’s woods.
