Home and a Fae

Millie stood in Edda’s study, shifting from one foot to the other as Edda dialled Millie’s mother’s phone number. It started to ring, the sound echoing tinnily through the speaker, Edda handed Millie the phone. Her mother answered. “Hello?” “Hi Mum. It’s me. Edda says it would be nice to call you once a week …

Shopping

They started with the fabric stalls and Millie was soon overwhelmed by choices - colour, fabric, pattern - how was she ever going to settle on something and make it all fit? Everything was so lovely, but her room was only so big and she loved its light and airy feel. Too much stuff would …

Lost in the Crowd

She said. “Well I’m here now.” And looked pointedly at the stall’s sign, listing the juices available. Timothy bent a little to peer at her face. “What’s wrong? Who upset you?” She gave him a withering look. “You might have been worried, I don’t know. Your friend thought it was funny to get me lost …

More Teachers

Millie kept to the same pace as the three JourneyMasters, more-or-less. She wondered about Rosalie's surprise over her curiosity about the cane, then flushed scarlet in mortified realisation. They'd thought she wanted to know why the stick was needed. She had been so rude! Edda looked at her as they reached the top of the …

To Market, To Market

Millie wandered into the kitchen a short time later, Edda looked over her coffee at her. "Why the frown?" "Quoth dropped by to say hello and I think he was trying to get me to go somewhere funny again." "Really? Where? And what did you tell him?" "I said I could only go when you're …

Phones and Plans

Millie slept well that night, and dreamed of fairy dresses, sad forests and orchards on buildings. The rest of the week passed quietly as Millie learned her way around the village and began to meet and get to know the people living there. She was tucking into breakfast on Friday morning when Adam dropped a …

Life of a Greenwitch

Millie carefully folded her gifts back into a neat bundle, tucked them onto a helpful chair and found the biscuits. Shaun laughed, "She's got you figured already love, tea and biscuits and talk will happen." Millie blushed, "I just want to make sure I'm helpful." Edda put a cup of tea down by Shaun, who …

Back in the Village

When she got to the trees, Millie reached out a hand to the nearest trunk, "Thank you so much, but please don't strain yourself in keeping the path too wide open, I really do love your greenery and shade." The forest quivered and relaxed, the path shrinking in size, but staying straight and clear through …

An Audience with Royalty

On August 19, 2020August 19, 2020 By kesabethIn Greenwitch, StoryLeave a comment

It was a strange experience. As she passed the people looking at her, they seemed to unfreeze and her progress was marked by a rise in whispers behind her. She didn’t bother looking around, they’d just freeze again. Anyone would think they’d never seen a girl before. She stopped alongside her bouncing guide, directly in …

Un-Chance Encounters

After breakfast Millie headed to the pergola outside, disappointed to see Quoth seemed to have given up on waiting for her. She looked around and decided to see if she could find the blacksmith. She wandered towards the side of the square when a flash of blue caught her eye. It was her friendly bluebird, …
