10 The Gatekeeper

I made my way down the stairs, my hands folded neatly behind my back in an attempt to make me seem a bit more innocent than I felt. Not that I was doing anything wrong. I simply didn't want the chance of them stopping me from going to where the fairies lived. From how she had written in the book, it seemed like the fairies had kept her there against her will for some time. Not only that but the disappearance of multiple children before her. After she was taken I'm pretty sure they had stopped taking children though.

My father had seemed to get along with them, maybe they would recognize me too? Stopping in front of the two I took a small breath and spoke.
