The Fairytale Keeper: Avenging The Queen - Plot & Excerpts
She jerks her head from the table and glances frightfully around the room. She looks lost until our gazes meet. “You should go to bed. It’s late,” she yawns. “I’m not tired,” I lie. “You can have my bed.” She waits for my reassurance. “I shall sleep in Father’s bed if I tire.” She groggily climbs the ladder to my room and I am relieved to be alone. My back feels blistered from sitting by the fire for so long and I move to the other side of the table where Galadriel had sat. I watch the fire and wonder where Father is and when he’ll return. The worry should consume me, but I feel nothing but weariness. I rest my head on the table and just as my eyes close, I hear the tapping of footsteps. I wake with a start and scan the room for Father until I realize the footsteps are coming from above, their soft, slow beat quickly giving them away. It is Galadriel. She yawns loudly and clumsily descends the ladder. “Do you always keep insects by your bedside?” An eyebrow arches in disgust at the two fireflies dancing in the glass jar she holds at a distance.
