Chapter 3
After the encounter, I knew my worldview shifted. That goat creature had
ruthlessly crushed my old life's paradigm. Being a voracious reader of
fantasy, I understood there might be more to this world, "There are more
things in heaven and earth Horatio' and all of that but at no time did I
actually believe it to become my reality?
I also tried not to think about it, or give it a name. Names would give it
power; however, I knew such thoughts were useless. With my old worldview
now uncomfortably squashed, I finally headed downstairs to make myself
some breakfast.
While finishing a vegetable omelet, I was not the least bit surprised when
a female voice asked to borrow some sugar. Standing on the other side of
the sink, a pink haired woman in a simple yellow dress gave a curtsy then
patiently waited for my reply.
Now pink-hair wasn't a big deal but add in the fact that the woman stood
only about a foot tall and sported a pair of iridescent wings was a dead
giveaway she was't human. Oh sure, theoretically Fae or whatever you
wanted to call them could in fact be living under our very noses without
anyone the wiser. However, add this little encounter along with the horror
of last night, I no longer felt hungry.
Being a gracious host, I explained she could of course have whatever she
liked as long as she cleaned up afterwards. I mean really, how much could
a person twelve inches tall eat?
With a slight wave, I put my breakfast back into the fridge and went back
upstairs to read. Returning an hour or so later, deciding that sugar
pixies were likely harmless, I found the kitchen spotless. At that point,
I decided a change in venue was in order.
Now pixies cleaning the kitchen came as a surprise however, this little
tidbit gave me nightmares for the next few days. Deciding I needed to
change into something warmer, I found myself going through my sister's
clothes. In fact, I had already picked out a couple of nice blouses to try
on before stopping myself.
What in the world was happening to me?
While spending the rest of the morning under 'Father Oak', it helped me
find my center, bringing me to a point in which the odd occurrences no
longer seemed so intimidating. By midafternoon, I felt well enough to feel
actually hungry.
Skogshaven's small shopping district boasted several expensive
restaurants, an ice cream shop, two good pizza parlors and one of those
chain sandwich shops. My destination the Nordic many described as an old
world bistro.
Owned by the Elofssons family, it had been in business for well over fifty
years. Known for its Scandinavian dishes as well as typical American fare,
my favorite was their garden burgers, in my opinion the best in town.
Sten Elofsson, the owner, now well into his eighties still worked the
kitchen along with his son Harold. His niece Gerdy along with a small wait
staff ran the rest of the business like a well-oiled machine.
Rumor had it that the attractive woman had come to the States to work for
her cousin and to find a husband. I doubted she would be single for very
long.
Like all their customers, Gerdy personally greeted me at the door. So by
this point, even only eaten at the 'Nordic' a couple of times, it felt
like I was one of the regulars. Today was no different.
Sitting on the patio overlooking the forest she set down an order of fish
balls, potato casserole and a mixture of fresh vegetables. Recently she
had been giving me extra dishes.
As Gerdy set down a plate of something I had not seen before, I was
suddenly hit on the side of the head by what can only be described as a
big fluffy tail. Looking down I spied a large foxtail slip quickly beneath
Gerdy's long skirt.
She of course looked mortified. Before she could apologize, I gave her my
best smile and explained that no harm was done. With an unhappy sniff, she
nodded but her mood quickly changed as she pushed the new dish towards me.
As I took the first bite, she explained it was a type of vegetarian
Pyttipanna, using Tofu instead of pork. It was of course delicious.
"Gerdy, could you be a dear and get me a cup of tea."
Looking up, I found Diana of all people standing a few feet away. Gerdy in
turn gave me a worried look. Instead of going herself, she motioned to
another server who quickly headed into the kitchen. My fox tailed friend
obviously was not planning to leave me alone with Diana.
"Hello Diana, how are you today." I greeted her warmly while putting down
my fork. For some reason I knew this was not a social visit.
Without answering, she took a seat directly across from me. Oddly enough,
she too seemed all business like, not quite the Diana I knew. A few
uncomfortable moments passed before I reached down picked up my fork and
began to finish my Pyttipanna. Really, if she wasn't going to talk, I was
at least going to finish my lunch.
The arrival of the tea seemed to break the spell. Diana slowly took a sip
and without looking up asked for a little privacy.
"It's OK Gerdy, tell Sten that the Pyttipanna was delicious and I think it
would be an excellent addition to your menu."
Taking another sip of tea, Diana watched foxtail girl head back into the
restaurant. I could see she was covering up her nervousness with the tea.
Frankly, I was already a little tired of the game.
"Is your store closed today?"
Diana shook her head. "No, one of my sisters is currently the store."
Pausing for a moment to look around, she continued. "You are quite the
enigma Morgan. You came into my store without asking permission then acted
like it was perfectly normal."
"Buying books is a perfectly normal thing to do in a book store."
She nodded as if that simple explanation was much more than it seemed.
"And last night we were given your description as the person who stopped
the attacks on those young men. I didn't think that you would personally
get involved with something like that."
I sat there for a moment in shock. I understood that this was a small town
but how did my little adventure suddenly become town gossip.
"It was the right thing to do Diana. I was just fortunate enough to be
there." No way was I going to explain how the forest called out to me.
"It was the right thing to do." She looked rather pleased. "I will say
Morgan, we were all a little concerned about your relationship with
Abigail but your actions last night have shown your true worth."
"Abigail's my friend."
For the first time since I have known Diana, she gave me an honest smile.
"She likes you too Morgan. Now I will let you finish your lunch. Oh before
I go, I wanted to tell you that's a darling blouse you are wearing. It
matches your eyes perfectly."

The body that was once Walter Marvin sat quietly in a dark room. It gave
no reaction when a white haired woman collapsed on the couch in front of
him. Crawling into a fetal position, she started into the darkness.
"Long night eh lass?" The body that was once Water Marvin spoke. Although
the mouth opened and closed, no air was forced from its lungs.
The woman in green shot upwards almost falling off the couch. "E?ghan,
you're here?"
"Now where would do think I be?" The voice gave an inhuman chuckle then
spoke in an entirely unfriendly way. "Sile you have something you want to
tell me?"
Biting her lip the white haired woman looked towards the front door, then
nodded. Running away was clearly not an option. "I ran into a small
problem last night."
The body that was once Walter Marvin moved inhumanly fast, standing up it
plunged its right fist downwards smashing the glass coffee table. Sile
pulled her legs towards her chest, her eyes wide opened in terror.
Slowly the body returned to the chair. "A small problem indeed, what I
heard Sile is that you went hunting again last night. I permitted you the
use of that car so you could drive into the city but you choose to hunt in
this forest of all places. Was this on purpose little one, do you choose
to defy me? Are you still upset I took you away from that cushy little
lifestyle you set up?"
Sile looked contrite but still terrified. "Forgive me, I was overcome with
hunger."
"I assume you disposed of the car?"
The white hair girl almost rolled her eyes but thought better of it. "I'm
not an idiot. I drove it into a river."
"That remains to be seen, well no matter. I do forgive you. It appears
your little misadventure produced some unexpected results. The very
creature I have spent considerable time and resources looking for has
surfaced."
"I should have grabbed her."
E?ghan, once Walter Marvin gave a hollow laugh. "Even in her current state
she would have eviscerated you."
Sile looked surprised then shrugged. "So what now, the two of us don't
exactly make a Host."
"Sile your view on life has always been short sited, one meal to the next.
I on the other hand play the long game. Now let's talk about punishment."
The white haired girl looked confused. "What punishment? I thought you
said you forgave me. Anyway, even in that Draugr you possess what are you
going to do all the way from the Orkneys."
"Yes, well lass you of all people would know my limitations, at least for
now. Your old friend Dunter on the other hand---"
From a shadowy hallway strode forth a creature with glowing red eyes.
Dressed in urban BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) it leaned an ancient looking
pike against the wall. Straightening a blood red cap on his head, the
creature gave an evil smile-revealing shark like teeth.
"Dunter let us have nothing permanent shall we, just enough to show our
other new arrivals the consequences of my subordinates having a 'small
problem.'"

Sitting in the center of the forest, I attempted to get my bearings. No, I
wasn't lost. Diana's visit had exposed two new aspects of my newfound
paradigm. First, Gerdy's foxtail, nor did my little sugar fairy actually
bother me. Gerdy was actually one was my friends tail or not.
Secondly, some sort of spell or enchantment must been placed on me. I
should have been more upset about walking around town dressed as a girl
then I actually was. My only consolation, my sister wasn't very tall so
most of her clothes wouldn't fit me anyway.
Although I didn't really want to explain to Rebecca why I was wearing one
of Nichole's outfits, I headed for home. Still, I couldn't help but
noticed that I felt more relaxed as I walked through the forest. It really
was a really a peaceful place.
That quickly changed. Upon exiting, a crying woman rushed up to me. In
between tears, she explained that her daughter was missing. Taking the
woman by the hand, I escorted her to 'Father Oak'. Wasting no time as the
distraught mom called 911, I reentered the forest.
Although a peaceful, the woods were no place for a small child much less
an unawares adult. Mandy who had just returned from a birthday party had
an argument with her mother and in a huff ran into the woods.
From what I understood listening to the town's natives, it was an unspoken
rule that the park be treated with utmost respect. The reason being, for
the most part, those who entered the woods would quickly exit close to
where they entered. Unfortunately, on a rare occasion someone would
disappear and not be seen again.
The reality of the situation bore down upon me. Children did not always
fare well in the hands of the fey. The thought of Mandy actually being
harmed, stripped something from me and with great relief, I could feel her
presence. The little girl seemed close but also far away. Moving forward,
the forest began to change. I was still in the same woods but then again I
was not.
A child's laugh soon caught my attention. Inside a small glade, a young
girl in a black and pink party dress skipped and danced around a tree.
Moving closer, I could see that the tree was actually a creature covered
in green foliage. A picture of Treebeard entered my mind but I realized
the creature looked more like a tall green man.
The child stopped dancing as soon walked towards the tow. Suddenly looking
very serious for someone eight years old, she curtsied before rising with
a giggle.
"I'm Mandy."
Laughing with relief, I knelt down next to her. "Yes, I know."
Looking very sad, she quickly began to explain. "I'm sorry, I got mad a
mommy. I didn't mean to run away. She must hate me."
Taking her by the hand, I smiled. "No, that's not true, she's just very
worried."
Now face to face, Mandy's eyes opened wide in wonder. "You're a very
pretty lady."
I smiled. This was obviously not the time to discuss gender identity
issues with an eight year old. Looking up I thanked the Green Man. With a
friendly wave, Mandy and I left the glade.

Deputy Sheriff Dan Summers took off his hat and wiped his head. Police
work was difficult enough without the thought of having to explain to a
parent that their child was not going to return home.
Behind him sat Cindy, the forces only female Deputy and a Mrs. Laura Holms
the mother of the missing child. It was bad enough that her child was
missing, how she talked another one to go running into the woods to search
for her missing daughter he didn't understand. The Deputy was not looking
forward to explaining to another set of parents that their daughter would
never return.
Both officers felt powerless. There was nothing either of them could do.
Everyone in town knew the dangers of the park. Everyone kept to the paths.
It was an unwritten rule. If you entered the forest and got lost, no one
would come to look for you.
What Deputy Summers always thought interesting was visitors to the town
did not remember anything about the forest as soon as they left. Even
natives who lived here all their lives would forget as soon as they moved
away. It seemed the park took care of itself.
Looking towards Cindy, the two officers nodded. They would remain for a
little while longer then reluctantly send Mrs. Holms home. Unhappy that he
didn't have the other child's name, the Deputy would have to wait until
another set of parents filed a missing persons report. Perhaps he could
talk to them. Deputy Summers felt uneasy in their presence but the group
had been helpful on a number of occasions.
Uncomfortable thoughts were soon pushed aside when two figures walked out
of the forest. Holding hands the youngest of the pair appeared to be
talking up a storm. The second figure obviously a young woman smiled and
nodded.
Relief poured over both officers as Mrs. Holms ran into her daughter's
arms. The pair cried for a moment before grabbing the other girl into a
three-way embrace.
"Morgan?"
The young woman looked surprise then detached herself from the mother and
daughter.
"Deputy Sheriff Summers, good to see you again."
For some reason last night this beautiful girl insisted that, she was a
boy. He didn't really understand why but Deputy Summers wasn't that much
of a curmudgeon to upset the joyful reunion.
"You seemed to be in the right place---again."
Morgan looked embarrassed but before she could answer, Mrs. Holms embraced
her once more thanking the young woman profusely for her daughter's safe
return.
As the two talked, the Deputy thought that the young woman handled the
situation very well. Cindy took down their stories and with another
tearful embrace mother and daughter headed towards the Library parking
lot.
Morgan watched the pair for a moment and then she too headed home.
"So what do you think?" Dan said as she watched the young girl cross the
street.
Cindy looked down at her pad, folded it up and slid it into her pocket.
"Morgan left a few things out."
"I thought so as well. Still, we should be thankful."
Cindy nodded. "Dan, I know this sounds a little odd but do you think we
should ask her for help if we have another missing person."
Deputy Sheriff Dan Summers frowned as much as he disliked talking to them
he needed more information on this young woman.Top of Form
