Leaping Waters: A story of possession. Part 1

The cool rain fell upon her face, back, wings, all of her body. She was fragile as she stood within the rain. She had her eyes closed, her arms raised. The rain felt good. She had missed it. But it was a curse also. Well, water was her curse. She wanted to touch the rain more. But she felt herself slipping away... Away to a world as a voice is calling upon her.

“Open your eyes.” A soft voice called upon her. “And you shall see.”
Though the voice was nowhere to be found when Talulah opened her eyes. She looked about her and she couldn't figure out what is going on. All she knew is what she dreamed about.
Talulah sighed as she gently rose up from her bed. She missed that dream. She missed everything about it. The water was her curse. Her homeland was her curse. She did not desired to be free anymore than what these kidnappers did.
These kidnappers were also faeries, like her, but they do not possessed any powers that were dangerous as hers. They kidnapped her because of a few things. One of them was because of her power. The other reason was because she was a princess of Aqua.
Oh, how Talulah missed her home so much. She felt lost within the deserted land. But at least she was free to move about. For as long there was no rain. Rain was very rare here in Haven though.
Talulah gently stretched our her clear blue wings as she gently walked about her room. She stopped and looked into the mirror. She stared at her deepest blue eyes and pale blonde hair. She sighed as she gently turned the mirror around. She didn't like to look at herself. It only remind her of who she was.
Talulah's mind began to wonder as she thought about the dream. And the voice. Where had that voice come from? And why it told her to open her eyes and she shall see... See what? There's no wonder to what the answer was.
“Talu.” A male voice called from the door. Talulah looked at herself and looked towards the door. She wasn't decent yet.
“I'm not decent.” She called as she went to her wardrobe to hurrying put on a light dress.
“Very well, Talu.” The male voice said. “Queen Alcredia wishes to see you when you are, um, decent.”
Talulah stopped herself and looked at the dress. “Right.” She mumbled. She began to grabbed a better dress. One with sparkles of blue, and elegant like the sky. She grabbed a brush and began to take out of the tangles in her hair. She needed to be really decent for Alcredia.
As Talulah was braiding her hair, she knew the male behind the door was back, this time he was knocking.
“I'm decent now.” Talulah mumbled as she walked to the door and opened it.
The male was her friend, Monav.
“Monav.” Talulah gently bowed to him.
“Talulah, how many times have I told you, not to bow.” Monav smiled when he saw her.
“I always have to, Monav.” Talulah smiled back at him. “Besides, not only you're my friend, you are also noble.”
Since being kidnapped, Monav had been a good friend to her. Though they are are opposites, they are the best of friends.
“Anyways, Talu, the queen wishes to see you.” Monav became serious. Talulah could tell something was up but she only nodded as she began to follow him down the hall.

The Kingdom of Haven was an interesting place. Although it never rains here, the faeries were able to survive without water. Talulah hated the taste of the special fruit juice that they bring her but after being here for a year now, she gotten used to it.
The air was warm and Talulah hated it. She missed her home too much. Aqua was full of green and lots of lakes and rivers. That was after all her nature. She was not used to being away from her home. But without a will, she must learn to adapt. And so she did.
Haven was vast with a lot of non-winged faeries. These faeries do not have the powers like Talulah did. There were winged faeries though, like the queen and Monav. Their powers were mostly wind and earth though.
Talulah looked about as she kept following Monav. It was oddly quiet within the court of the kingdom. Talulah just couldn't figured out why.
Soon she was standing before the queen. She gently bowed down and kept her head down as she waited for the queen to tell her otherwise.
“Princess Talulah, please sit.” Queen Alcredia said as she pointed to a chair.
Talulah got up and nodded as she went to sit in the chair.
“We have matters to discuss.” The queen began as she took a sip from her tea.
“What matters?” Talulah asked as she looked up at the queen.
“My oracle told me something. Something interesting.” She gently sat the cup down on the table beside her. “You see... as you can tell that it never rains here in Haven.”
Talulah's ears perked at the mention of rain and she began to looked serious. “I know that but what about it?” She asked.
“Well, you see, princess...” The queen leaned towards Talulah “There will be changes coming and we need to do something about you.”
“Do something to me?” Talulah shook her head as she asked.
“Do what?” Monav cut in as well.
“Monav, you know very well what we have to do.” The queen looked at him.
“Alcredia, it would be too cruel to put her in the cell.” He said trying to protect Talulah.
“It is not up to you, Monav.” Queen Alcredia snapped at him.
“No, she is right, Monav.” Talulah finally spoke up. “Do what you must, your majesty.”
Alcredia looked at her and smiled. “Very well.”
“No! You mustn’t do it!” Monav began but the queen raised her hand at him.
“You do want the world of Faerie to be safe, right, Monav?” The queen looked at him.
Monav merely looked down, ashamed of himself.
“I will go, Monav. And you must listen to your queen.” Talulah sighed as she got up.
“Guards, take her to the dungeon. Be sure to lock her away and give her food.” The queen nodded.
The guards began to lead Talulah away from the room. Talulah stopped and looked at Monav.
“Monav, it will be that time.” She whispered only enough for him to hear.
Monav nodded as she began to walk away with the guards.
The silence rose upon the room as Monav sat down and the queen left.
“Time.” Monav only mumbled as he put his head in his hands.
