All Chapters of Fairies & Humans: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Roisin Putnam, we are sorry to inform you that your insurance will not cover the cost of the second surgery your physician is requesting, the last voicemail I received before my battery died on my cell. That was months ago and now I'm living what's left of my life on my terms. I finally made it up the large incline, my calves burned, my long red hair glued to my forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down the space between my small breasts. My eyes scan the vast expanse of land, falling on a grove of thick large trees in the distance. My brow raises as I catch the movement within the branches. Fairies I chuckle internally. Always the believer in the mythical, at the age of 28, I should be well past the thoughts of such fanciful creatures. I squint my eyes more, hoping it will help my vision become more focused. Several birds flap their wings into the blue sky to flee whatever is making its way through the densely covered branches. I hear a loud high-pitched whistle and purse my lips, ti

Torin povThe female was very strange and I couldn't put my finger on why. She excelled at all things elvish, especially her skills with the bow. She was very different than other humans that had managed to enter our barrier. Her saying she was dying didn't concern me, she would remain healthy in this realm if she chooses to stay. I carry the large deer over my shoulders and head back to the tree, noticing the female resting with a bulging bag at her side. I smiled at the large rabbit feet sticking out, she apparently had gotten lucky with the hunt as well. Cadac sauntered next to me holding two pheasants in his hand. I nodded to him and bent my head towards the woman. His eyes lit up at the haul she collected. Adrit came empty-handed, luck was not on his side today, but we had plenty to share with him. I set my deer carcass down and sat to lay down in the warm sun, the others did the same. My eyes glanced at the female and I scanned her features. She was short, petite, and had adorabl

Roisin pov I was smiling in my sleep with the thoughts of Torin in my mind. I liked the uppity ass. I chuckled and opened my eyes. Confusion flooded my thoughts on how I ended up in his bed. I lifted the covers and looked down at my naked body. What the fuck, I curse to myself. I don't remember going to bed. Did Torin bring me here? Torin had seen me naked, oh my God. I turn a deep shade of red. A knock at the door startled me. "Are you awake Roisin, we need to head for practice," Torin's voice yelled through the door. "Oh yes, I'm awake, give me a moment," I reply. I glance around the room for something I can wear. Torin's clothes were the only items in here. I sigh, grabbing one of his shirts. It's long enough to be similar to a dress, so I slip it over myself and head to the hall for clothes. I open the door and Torin is standing there awkwardly. His eyes scan down me and he grins seeing I'm in one of his shirts. "Nice," he chuckles, staring at my bare legs. I roll my eyes and s

Roisin pov The day of the archery competition was finally here. I lay on my back looking at the ceiling's intricate plaster design. Torin stuck his face in my line of sight. "Good, you're awake," he grins. I eye him and stick my tongue out. He chuckles and I can feel him climbing out of the large bed. "You should rise and dress so we can eat, they serve great food here in the mornings," he smiles, pulling on his pants. I stretched and slid off the bed, grabbed my clothes off the floor, and began to dress. I frown at having to lace the boots back up. "Put them on and I'll lace them for you," Torin grins, knowing me too well. I nod and pull them on. Torin sits next to me and lifts my leg to his lap and proceeds to lace up the black boots. "You're a decent elf man," I chuckle at his serious demeanor. He glances at me and laughs. He pats my legs when he finishes and offers his hand. I take it and we go downstairs together.We arrived at a large buffet-type table. Cadac and Adrit, al

Roisin pov After our fight, Torin suggested that we all head back to our forest homes. I rode the gray gelding behind the others since they could see better in the pitch black. I kept seeing a small black creature in my peripheral vision. I'd turn my head and it would disappear. I frowned, getting annoyed by the distraction. Kicking the sides of the horse to pick up speed I was shocked by the brush of cold fingers along my arm. I looked down and saw my arm hairs standing. I frown again and realize I'm further away from the others than I thought. I was about to yell when a hand covered my mouth. I tried turning myself and was pressed against the body of someone sitting behind me. "Calm yourself, it's Keran, I'm not going to harm you," his silky voice whispered in my ear, causing me to shiver. He removed his hand and I turned to look at him. He's smiling looking down at me. "Um hello, what are you doing," I scowl. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist. He sets his chin on
