"Is there a reason you're stalking me?" I asked, halting to a stop.

"I wouldn't call it stalking." He rebuked. "Just watching your every move from a distance."

"Which is the definition of stalking." I countered.

"Stalking would make me a predator, but I wish you no harm." He said, his lips curling into a smirk. "Consider it guarding."

"Guarding implies protecting."

"Indeed."

"From what, might I ask?"

His smirk widened to a grin worthy of Cheshire Cat and I was certain I was conversing with a mad man. "Faeries."

Note from the author:

This is my first attempt at writing about fairies/faeries/fey/fair folk, so please keep that in mind. It is also a first draft so I am sure there will be mistakes, all I ask is to keep your comments kind and let me know if you find anything confusing or spot grammar errors. With this being an unedited first draft, those unfortunately are inevitable.

Thanks,
