WriterActress: The joys of college, I'm writing and working hard on editing these chapters for you all, but I'm still adjusting.
Again, a comment or two would motivate me a little bit more sometimes.
Or a vote.
I know you guys are reading this a lot and I'd like to hear what you THINK.
Oh yeah, the picture on the right is a picture of a Oni. I like mixing up cultural folklore since they all have interesting creatures. Oni is from Japanese folklore similar to the Huli Jing. I'm sorry that I didn't go through it seven times. I wanted to get this out as soon as possible because I don't know when I'll have the time.
"Just Dance" by Lady Gaga very much fits the faerie world, or at least, to me.

Chapter Eleven
Faerie World We Go
"What is going on...here?" Cooper asked as he looked around, but stopped when his eyes fell on me.
RUN! My mind screamed.
I can't.
Why not? He knows your secret! He knows your SECRET! Our SECRET! Oh right, maybe we can knock him over the head with the dagger or something and make him forget he ever saw us!
I can't just leave him. I can't. We have to help him get away from the Huli Jing.
Having my biggest secret pulled out into the world of the normal people sort of feels like hearing that someone died; my heart stops, muscles freeze, blood runs cold and my skin numbs out. Should I run and hide? Should I scream and attack the Huli Jing? Or should I go and try to convince Cooper that he's dreaming?
“See?” The Huli Jing said as she stepped behind Cooper and wrapped a thin arm around him. “I told you that your best friend lived in a different world. That she even was seeing someone?”
Drake pressed his chest to my back and let out a little growl.
He wasn't helping.
With those words, I woke up. “Woah, now that’s complete crap! Drake and I are friends!”
Cooper’s body remained stiff with his jaw and fists tight as he stared at me with wide eyes. Even in the dim light, a smile grew on her face as she trailed a hand down his chest. “She didn’t tell you, did she? All those times she lied to you….all the times she ran away from you and your friends…”
“Cooper, I had to lie to you! This place is so freaking dangerous! She just wants to suck your essence out when you screw her!” I yelled as I took a step forward, but Drake grabbed me by the shoulders. “She wants you dead! Cooper!”
He took a step back as he shook his head with his mouth open slightly. “No…no, she’s been the only one telling me the truth! She explained everything to me! Your scars! Drake! The human prince!”
“I lied to protect you!” I screamed as Drake tightened his grip on my shoulders.
“You lied so you could gain power of faeries! Don’t bullshit yourself!” He yelled as the Huli Jing rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Trust me if it were up to me I wouldn't be able to see these things!" I yelled as I wished I could shake him or at least hit him upside the head to see reason, but no, his body shook like his anger might manifest itself into some physical form.
