“We knew it would take time,” Lotta soothed. “It shouldn’t be much longer now.”
The sound of tinkling bells made them both turn around in surprise. Standing behind them was Clarissa, the head of all fairy godmothers. Her wise gaze looked them over as they stood before her dressed as humans from attending the wedding. Lotta’s heart skipped a beat, worry etched on her brow. It must be serious if Clarissa had come. They were going to lose their wands. She just knew it.
“I have come to speak to you both about a very grave matter,” Clarissa told them, folding her hands before her with her wand gripped tightly between them.
“Is it the verdict?” Lotta asked. “Has a decision been made? Will we keep our wands?”
“My dears, you have both been found to have acted above and beyond the call of duty. Although some felt that the flouting of the rules should be punished, I have decided that no actions taken by yourselves are punishable. In fact, I am so pleased with how you handled a difficult assignment and brought it successfully to a happy ever after that I wish to ask for your help with another case.”
Lotta and Flo looked at each other in shock. “Another assignment?” Lotta stammered.
“Indeed,” Clarissa confirmed. “This is a charge belonging to one of our younger fairy godmothers. She gave the girl the gift of beauty at her birth.”
Lotta gasped. “Did she not know that such a gift can often be like a curse to the bearer?”
Clarissa shook her head sadly. “She is young and inexperienced. Even though she knew this could be the case, she still naively thought it the best gift she could give. Needless to say the gift has caused a great deal of trouble for her charge. It is unlikely that the girl will ever allow love into her life without extreme intervention. There are also some other circumstances which make this a difficult assignment to handle. Will you take it?”
Flo nodded immediately, Lotta reluctantly followed suit. Nobody refused Clarissa anything.
“Wonderful!” she cried. She waved her wand and the image of an incredibly beautiful woman filled the air. Her long blonde hair tumbled down her back and her vivid violet eyes looked hardened and serious. There didn’t seem to be any joy or trust in the woman’s heart at all. “This is her. Her name is Erica Stone. She needs all the help you can give her. This will not be an easy task.”
Lotta sighed. ‘Here we go again’ she thought……..
