Chapter 6: The Werewolf, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

    Nana came back out of the wooden tree door roughly fifteen or so minutes later. She looked uncanny and displaced by whatever had happened while she was inside the tree fort with her sister. She walked slowly softly muttering something to herself, almost as if she was practicing a speech she was about to deliver the three anxious three in the truck. As she neared the truck she took a deep breath and said without opening the truck door. Larry Joe, Chassidy will you two please go inside and wait while I speak with Solaris please." Nana said extremely uneasy. Solaris felt Jensen's heart sink and was now worried by whatever news she was surely about to receive from Nana. Chassidy grabbed her sister's big hairy hand to support her and said "I'm not leaving Solaris' side Nana, so whatever you have to tell my sister then we're all ears." Chassidy looked at Solaris as she finished the sentence. "It's fine Chass, I love you for backing me up though." Solaris said.

Solaris squeezed Chassidy's hand and nodded to let her know she was okay and to go inside. "Are you sure?" Chassidy replied skeptical. "Mmhm." Solaris replied and let go of Chassidy's hand and A few moment's later the big wooden tree door closed and Solaris got out of the truck and folded her arms awaiting the new's from Nana. "I wish there was an easy way to say this sweetheart, but I figured it be best to let you hear it first from me first." Nana said then paused taking a moment before continuing, which made Solaris gasp with what she thought Nana was about to tell her. "Oh my! Jensen's dead and I'm going to be stuck like this forever?!" Solaris blurted out now with tears in her eyes. "Heavens no child, but unfortunately Jensen got married to a warlock. Which means your body is no longer immortal and you are alive again in a sort of sense and married to a warlock." Nana replied.

That was probably the last thing Solaris ever imagined would ever come from Nana's mouth and took a moment for it to process in her mind. Solaris started to get tunnel vision and made She fainted and fell limp to the ground. When Solaris came to, she was in an odd looking room. Little flying fairies were dipping a cloth in warm water and three or four of them started to bring the rag toward Solaris before they noticed Solaris was no longer asleep and they dropped the wet cloth on Solaris' bare and extremely hairy chest. They darted into a floating miniature sized castle, that if you had been four inches tall would have been an amazing pad to live in. It was like Barbie's sky high dreamhouse, magical home edition. Each fairy looked through a window at Solaris. They were shaking and scared looking out from each story of the flying castle. Madam Moone told them all about werewolves and that werewolve's were mean and would eat people for fun. Most of the truth probably had been overly stretched, because of Madam Moone's dislike for the Werewolf's, due to her husband being killed by one. Understandable, but still wrong.

"Its okay, I won't hurt you." Solaris said slowly getting up. The fairies poked their heads out of the castle's windows and looked at each other to see if it was a good idea to trust the werewolf or not. "Absolutely not!" Prixie said with a high pitched voice from the third story window at the very top. "I think we should get a closer look at the beast and use our powerful magic and extremely harmful spells on him." Trixie said loudly to sound like she actually had those special powers as a ploy. "I think someone should lock the front door." Prixie said from the top tier castle window, closing the tiny glass windows and the drapes except for her pointed ears and head peeping through an opening in the drapes. "I think you all are idiots." Vixie said putting her pointed chin in her hand blowing out a deep breath and twirling her bangs around her finger nonchalantly.

"I think Madam Moone has given you the wrong impression about werewolves because of what happened to her husband." Solaris chimed in before one of the next fairies were able to give their opinion's. "Mmmmm." The lot of fairies said in their high pitched exclamation of a probable truth. After a brief ponder Solaris had apparently got the fairies to believe her except one that was shaking from the top tier window of the floating princess castle. Solaris walked over slowly, so not to scare the fairy known as Prixie. When Solaris got to the window she looked inside and asked "Hi, I'm Solaris. Is this your room?" Solaris asked nicely. "Go away!" Prixie yelled from under her tiny bed.

Solaris laughed because she saw the fairy poke her head out from under the covers that draped over the bed. Prixie was about the size of someone's pinky, give or take a cuticle. She had blonde hair that twirled down her back to her waist that if brushed probably would have more than likely touched past her ankles. "I really like your room. Is that a Justin Bieber poster on your wall?" Solaris asked and still got nothing. When a few seconds passed Solaris turned to go back to the bed to talk with the chatterbox fairies when she heard "He's my favorite person like ever." Prixie said now standing at the window, but still skeptical leaving the window shut still. Solaris smiled and replied "Oh my god, he's mine to girl!"

"I still find that disturbing watching my brother talk like a woman." Larry Joe said in the doorway shaking his head. "Your just jealous, hater." Solaris turned and poked her butt out and touched her finger to her butt and made the sizzle sound "Ssss." Prixie busted out of the top of the miniature castle and screamed out "Ya hater, your just jealous!" Prixie yelled and remained hovering in place with her tiny hands on her waist defending her new best friend forever, Solaris. "Its okay Prixie, I can take him, but thank you for sticking up for me." Solaris said softly poking her head into Prixies view. "Madam Moone would like to see you Solaris." Larry Joe said pointing his thumb behind him. "Okay girls, manis and pedis later?" Solaris said wiggling her fingers out in front of her smiling. "Okayyyy!" All the fairies replied in sync. "Ugh." Larry Joe mumbled as Solaris walked by him. He saw Prixie pounding her fist into her hand repeatedly indicating she meant business as Larry Joe shut the door and walked behind Solaris into the living room, or what was supposed to be a living room. Instead it looked like Santa's workshop, if Santa had been metrosexual.

Solaris walked behind Larry Joe unsure of where to go. When they made it to the Living room it looked to be the size of a football field and Solaris knew that she had walked into a treehouse earlier. "Wowwww." Solaris said spinning to make sure she didn't miss anything. She continued by saying "This place is amazing!"

There were probably one hundred different work station's with every type of mystical being you could think of working together. Elves, fairies, witches, gollum's and even two abominable snowmen. Actually from the looks of the giant salt and peppered furred animals that were working diligently on different tasks, one of the abominable snow men was actually an abominable snow woman when she turned toward Solaris and was not wearing a bra. "Don't stare at her Solaris. Olga gets angry and smashes stuff when people stare at her." Prixie said talking about the female abominable snow woman, while she was hovering next to Solaris with her hand up to her mouth whispering. "Thanks Prixie." Solaris said, extending her fist toward Prixie and Prixie pounded her tiny fist against Solairs' finger.

"What is everyone working on?" Solaris asked Prixie as the three of them walked down the center of the walkway passing workstations on their left and right. "Wooden wardrobe's." Prixie replied. "Oh.. I didn't know the market was so high for Wooden wardrobes right now." Solaris said questionably. "They're not just regular wardrobes silly, they're Wardrobes that allow someone to get to the "Office." Prixie said. She was using her tiny fingers to quote the word office. "Still not following." Solaris replied, shrugging her shoulders. "It's like the "Langley" headquarters for the CIA is to the Dark Arts government agency headquarters is for them. "Larry Joe replied now making sense to Solaris. "Ahh, gotcha I see now." Solaris said finally understanding. Prixie said "SMH" and shook her head looking straight ahead. "So they like give them a wardrobe, gun and a badge when they get hired." Solaris said jokingly. "Exactly!" Prixie said unbeknownst that Solaris was making a joke.

"When they got to the office door at the end of the room it was closed and the blinds closed shut and an armed guard that looked like he was a poster boy straight out of the secret service wearing  the sun glasses, ear piece and nice suit garb stood motionless with his hands crossed behind him guarding the door. When the three of them got within close to 30 feet from him, the guard extended his hand and said "Stop right there and state the nature of your business!" The guard said with authority. Solaris was the only one who stopped. while Larry Joe and Prixie kept walking toward him. "I said stop, or you will be fired upon!" The guard reached for his standard issued service revolver and extended the gun in front of him. It was aimed right at Larry Joes chest.. "Larry Joe, STOP!" Solaris screamed out terrified. When the guard fired off two rounds simultaneously Solaris fell to the ground covering her head, then watched as Larry Joe walked right through the armed guard and reached for the doorknob and opened it and walked in. "Its just a hologram, hehe." Prixie said laughing. "Come on scardy cat, let's go in and see what everyone is doing." Prixie said waving her hand quickly as a sign for Solaris to hurry up.

When Solaris walked into the office it was just like a normal break room in any normal office building with normal looking people doing normal things. It had all of the normal things a break room would have. A refrigerator, couch with a t.v on a breaking news story on CNN about a string of animal attacks in Bayside heights that has twelve confirmed dead and nine still missing but feared to be dead also. A man came on and said "Thanks Erica, yes there is something out there that is way larger than authorities are telling everyone because there is no animal on this planet that needs to feed on dozens of humans flesh and not to mention they're not even being consumed. Just slaughtered like a deranged sociopath has been somehow transformed into a huge monster and is killing for sport as an animal." The news story made Solaris get the bad feeling that it was Jensen not able to control the urge of feeding that made Solaris say aloud "uh-oh.." Larry Joe walked to the adjacent door in the rear and pushed the button next to the door. When Solaris made it to the door standing beside Larry Joe, two office workers that were trying to catch the elevator also walked up next to them. Solaris turned toward the office worker that stood to her left and looked at him questionably. When Solaris slowly brought her finger up toward the man's face, he was watching in his peripheral vision as Solaris' finger came up and poked his cheek. "Excuse you?" The worker said angrily facing her. Solaris jumped back startled and yelled out "Oh my god I'm so sorry. I thought you were a fake person." Solaris said, which made the woman office worker that stood next to Larry Joe turn her head to them and start laughing. "Ha-ha you got that right." The lady worker laughed at what she just heard Solaris say.

When a bell chimed and the door swung open making Solaris aware that it was an elevator they were standing in front of. The four and a half of them all got in. Prixie asked Solaris "Solaris can I be your fairy godmother?" Prixie asked without a hint of sarcasm in her voice, making Solaris unsure of how to reply and chuckle. "Well I guess so Prixie. What does a fairy godmother do?" Solaris asked. "Well I would be there to take care of you and be there for you and help you forever." Prixie replied, coming to a stop on Solaris' right shoulder with her hands folded together and big blue eyes that were an eyelash away from crying if Solaris had said no. "I would be glad to have you as my fairy godmother Prixie." Solaris replied winking at Prixie to show her that she was happy with her decision on saying yes.

"YIPPIEEE!" Prixie exclaimed loudly as the elevator door chimed and the door flung open revealing Madam Moone's Mystical Bedroom. When Solaris walked in after Larry Joe she saw Nana, Chassidy and assumed the other person to be Madam Moone. From the resemblance to Nana was undeniable and the woman looked like a Madam Moone would probably look like. I mean this lady had her hair twirled straight up in a cylinder type bun and at the top fell back down halfway in curls with strawberry blonde locks and freckles on her face that probably would of been cute in her younger days, but now looked like she went muddin on 4 wheelers and got mud sprayed all over her face. She dressed elegant and with poise. Like the first lady might look if she were a hippie.

Her outfit was a big dress on bottom and a coat on top that looked like a female president or politician might wear, except for the buttons were the size of your hand and had real flowers coming out of the breast pocket. The buttons were solid white with red swirls in them. Almost as if they would put you in a trance or a spell if you stared to long. She was probably in her late fifties and a tad pompous, but not completely overweight. She did not wear any jewelry. No ear rings, no bracelets, no watch, not even a wearing a wedding ring from her late husband on her finger. She only wore a necklace that draped in front of her. It looked to be made of wood, with some kind of fabric band that hooked to it and went around her neck.

Solaris was curious what it was, but decided to be polite and remain quiet unless spoken to. Larry Joe walked in and plumped down on the couch and kicked back with his feet on the table and  intertwined his fingers behind his head like he's been here his entire life. "Get your nasty feet off that table son!" Nana slapped the back of Larry Joe's head as she said it and Larry Joe obliged without question and put his feet on the carpet and rubbing his head from where Nana had smacked him. "Have a seat Solaris. Its a pleasure to meet you, I'm Madam Moone. Madam Moone said introducing herself with a curtsey. Solaris walked over and put her hand up to shake Madam Moone's hand and that made Madam Moone's face cringe with horror. She looked like someone that picked up dog poo for the first time would look like or a young father might look during their first time changing a poopy diaper.

Solaris waited a few seconds until Nana gave a hint by coughing reminding Solaris that she was technically a werewolf still and Madam Moone and werewolves were not like peas and carrots anymore. Solaris put her hand back down to her side and didn't apologize, but instead broke the awkward silence by asking her "Your necklace is beautiful Madam Moone. What is it?" Solaris asked hoping to change the subject. Madam Moone grabbed her necklace instinctively and smiled saying "Well Dear, my husband made this for me. Its sort of like a Sun dial except a pinch of magic was added to it so I would b able to talk to him for a few minutes every day I asked him what time it was. I wouldbe able to spend a few moments with my husband." Madam Moone said softly holding her most prized possession with tears forming in her eyes.

"Watch, I'll show you and let you meet my husband." Madam Moone said holding the necklace emblem out in front of her and continued saying "Good evening Dear, would you mind telling me what time it is, my love? Madam Moone asked and right away the middle of the emblem shined bright like a diamond and a glowing beam of light shone a few feet until a six foot tall glowing Mr. Moone stood clad in a tailored fitted suit and looked around the room and smiled making sure to say hello to all of his wife's guests. When he was done with the pleasantries Madam Moone said "Okay dear, I really didn't need to know the time. I just wanted everyone to meet you, my love." Madam Moone replied with her words scratching trying not to cry when she spoke. "You never really want to know the time my love, do you now?" Mr. Moone asked chivalrously.

Madam Moone coughed and cried with tears of laughter replying "The only time I want to know is when is my time going to be up, so that we can be together again my love." Madam Moone said with one tear falling down her face and dropping to the floor by her feet making a small splashing sound. "No matter how long it takes you to get to me my love, just know that I am eagerly awaiting your return into my arms once again." Mr. Moone replied which brought everyone in the room to tears from how sweet this was. "Awwwwww." Everyone said simultaneously as the glowing Mr. Moone was fading back into Madam Moone's necklace. The room got quiet minus a few sobs from Larry Joe and Nana who were holding each other crying and Chassidy sitting in the chair with both sides of her face wet with glistening tears.

When everyone was able to gather their composure, Madam Moone said "Okay thank you everyone for letting me speak with my husband today." Madam Moone said with a crackling voice. She walked over to her closet  withdrawing a dark red bag with leather straps and a Pentagon shape eblem on the front. Also was made out of some kind of snake skin fabric. She walked the bag over, which was about two feet high and four feet long and laid it on the table. Madam Moone then walked over to her nightstand that was next to her bed and grabbed a small Lantern. It looked like a tea pot almost and was made of pure 24 carat gold that shined bright when the light hit it as she laid it on the table next to the snake skinned bag. When she was done setting up the table Madam Moone said " Please everyone take a seat around the table and Solaris would you mind sitting next to me?" Madam Moone asked which made Chassidy run to the seat next to where Solaris was being asked to sit at, so she could be there next to Solaris as moral support. Solaris laughed and smiled at her sister for doing that without caring who might say something. Chassidy didn't care and would always have Solaris' back.

"Sure." Solaris responded and walked with Prixie, who was buzzing right beside her. "Prixie, what are you doing down here? Go hack upstairs with your sister's." Madam Moone said agitated that she was here. "I can't do that Madam Moone." Prixie replied defiantly. "Um, excuse me?!" Madam Moone replied raising her voice. "I said no. I'm now Solaris' fairy godmother and I am bound to watch over her and protect her forever." Prixie squeaked loudly. "Oh my magic and spells. Are you telling me that you offered to be Solaris fairy godmother without running it by me first!" Madam Moone screamed. "I did and I'm glad I did it!" Prixie replied foldimgng her arms and liftng her chin up proudly. "Never mind that now, I have more important things to worry about." Madam Moone said sitting down.

When Prixie heard that statement she had a look of despair on her face. Almost to the point of tears, but not trying to be embarrassed on her first day on the job as fairy godmother. Prixie held it together and didn't cry. Solaris waved for Prixie to come closer, so she could whisper something to her. Prixie flew over slowly with her hands cupped in front of her looking down as she got closer. "Just so you know there is nothing more important than my fairy godmother to me right now." Solaris whispered. Prixie smiled from ear to ear and giggled and flew into Solaris' neck and reached around Solairs as far as she could reach. Which wasn't that far, but nevertheless it was still sweet and Solaris took two fingers and put them on Prixie's back giving her a hug.
