Diary of an amateur Faerie-napper
Neopian crime doesn’t pay.....
You would think Angel would be satisfied with the results
of her first kidnapping. Well, she did catch a Faerie, even though it was not
the right one.
Angel flops onto her very well loved tiger couch
with the ground-in coffee stains and other assorted grubby marks. She had to
face up to the fact she had a messy house. She was too busy and lazy to clean
it anyway.
She sighed. "Faerie-napping is hard work! Plus, it’s more trouble than
it is worth!"
She pulls out the Faerie Kougra journal book
that she bought from Limited Too and starts writing...
"Dear Diary,
Well done, Angel. You messed up a once in
a lifetime chance. Grrrrrr... I am so annoyed.
I am now stuck with a Faerie who keeps threatening
me with something called "Flower Power" Hahaha! Well at least that
does not sound dangerous or life threatening.
She is also calling me a selfish, spoiled
and self-absorbed brat! The nerve of her to say that! As if... There is no way
that I am a brat! Her name is Illusen or something, I didn’t really catch it
amongst her annoying continuous sobs. I’m surprised she hasn’t flooded the basement
with her tears. She has been sobbing all night and is so loud that I can’t sleep.
Why else would I be writing in my journal
unless I was bored to bits? So I’ll be writing in my journal until she stops,
or sleeping with my Cloud Aisha pillow over my ears tonight. I think I might
end up sleeping in the lounge room. My couch is like sleeping on a pile of dung
and it smells just as bad.
She knows (I think) that I made a mistake
and I’LL probably hold her here for a day or so. Off the subject, I need to
buy some more furniture... Everything is all tatty and some of it is strangely
burnt for some weird reason.
It could be that my friend Fuhnah the Fire
Faerie keeps accidentally lighting my furniture on fire or she is causing havoc
like most Fire Faeries. Or maybe it’s my other occasional flat mate Jhuidah,
the cooking Faerie, who is the flat’s wanna be chef. She probably had another
cooking accident and didn’t tell me as usual. Possibly trying to brew as yet
another cooking pot combination disaster. I mean just look at dung cake! Grosss!!!
Only the Neopets staff would like that food! She is a hopeless cook - wonder
why Pango hired her? I’LL have to talk to both of them.
Well I need to go out now! I need to buy
another net because some person who shall remain nameless who’s name starts
with an I and ends in an N broke mine at the Cafe Neopia incident.
Oh no! I hope she doesn’t try to escape while
I’m out. She will be in big trouble. Actually, then again, I suppose it doesn’t
really matter. She might be a useful pawn in this Neopets game of mine....
Signing off, Angel"
Close encounter of the stupid kind
I see dark faeries....
Angel has stupidly gone out and left
Illusen alone. What was she thinking!? Even if Illusen is locked up how can
that stop her from planning a daring escape? Maybe Angel’s intention was to
let Illusen escape while she walked to the shops? It was better for Angel to
get Illusen off her hands since there was no reason to hold her hostage. Jhudora
was the one she wanted.
Nope, it doesn’t look like Angel was
thinking about any of that at all. She's just happy that she has found a large
shop that sells fishing nets. But then she notices the Koi shopkeeper has just
closed the shop door. She has to run down the hill to make it there in time.
Better run faster Angel! The shopkeeper just pulled down the shades of one window.
Angel is huffing and puffing down the hill now. She's almost there.
"Wait!" she cries at the top
of her lungs. "Please don't close just yet. I need to buy something from
your shop!"
"Sorry, Miss, I can't. I need to
get home," the Koi replied as he continued to lock up the shop. "My
wife is going to be mad because I am already late for our anniversary dinner.
She is making my favorite meal - Shrimptail with kelp sauce. I can't miss that!"
Angel looked down at her watch. "Grrrrrr!
Your shop isn't supposed to close for another 10 minutes and this is urgent!
I just need to buy a net and then you can get home to your wife and your Shrimptail
dinner."
"Alright, but be quick about making
your choice. My wife's temper could destroy Maraqua all over again if I am late.
Don’t dawdle!" he grumbled.
They hurried into the shop. There were
hundreds of different items stuck to the walls and on shelves around the place.
They were all things that reminded Angel of when she lived in Maraqua, a long
time ago.
"I have just the thing! Wait right
here." The shopkeeper starts tugging on something out of the corner. It
looks like a really large, metallic blue fishing net. He says that it is a magical
net from Maraqua that he bought before the world was destroyed. Angel doesn’t
look like she believes him about the magical part. She needs a net, so it will
have to do, regardless of the supposed magic.
She pulls out her Dark Faerie wallet
and places some Neopoints for the net on the counter. Then, in a brisk-like
fashion, she snatches the brown paper bag with the net inside from the Koi shopkeeper
and leaves without saying thank you or anything. Angel does get a bit rude like
that when she's in a hurry. The Koi was also in a hurry, so he did not notice
her lack of manners.
Well, Angel is now walking back from
the local Faerieland shops. She looks as happy as a Lupe chasing a Chia with
that new net of hers. She skips and jumps along the footpath not watching where
she is going. All of a sudden, she bumps into a strange, but familiar, shadow.
"Watch where you are going, little
missy! You almost knocked me off the footpath! I'm tired, sore, and not in the
best of shape! Now, get out of my way!" cried the shadowy figure before
Angel.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you.
You should wear brighter clothes at night so that people don't walk into you
like that."
"I don't need any fashion advice
from a kid like you. Go home and leave me alone. Anyway, shouldn't you be in
bed by now?" the shadowy figure sneered.
This person’s rudeness was starting to
bother Angel. She came up with a witty retort when it suddenly hit her. She
stared at the shadowy figure and asked "Would your name happen to be Jhudora?"
"Well duh! kid, I'm famous! Everyone
in Neopia knows who I am. I'm notorious for being evil!" She pauses. "Do
I know you from somewhere? You seem familiar!" Jhudora ponders some more.
"I think you do know me. Let me
give you a hint," Angel says as she throws the net over Jhudora. "Remember
me now?"
Unfortunately, Jhudora is too tired to
struggle and is now Angel's new Faerie captive. Angel hauls the net over her
shoulder, with the sound of Dark Faerie curses ringing in her ears as she walks
slowly back to her house.
"I'm back!" Angel calls as
she enters her house and turns on the lights. She had one very cross Faerie
in a net over her shoulder. It looks like Jhudora did not like being bounced
around like a yo-yo.
"Let go of me!" She screams
and continues kicking Angel in the back with her spiky high heels. It didn't
help her case though since Angel continues to ignore her. Angel has some willpower
though. I mean, can YOU ignore someone kicking you with those heels and screaming
in your ear like that evil dark Faerie is doing to Angel right now?
Angel continues to walk down to the cellar
where she has the cages to keep her Faerie captives. To her surprise, Illusen,
who was bored out of her mind, was still sitting behind the bars in the cell
Angel had locked her in.
"Why didn't you try to escape? I
even accidentally left the keys right here on the table!" Angel dangles
the cell keys in front of Illusen and laughs.
"I was scared of breaking a nail"
Illusen replied.
"Riiiiiiight....!" Angel bursts
out in a fit of laughter like a hyperactive hyena.
To be continued...
