Part 2- The Rose Echantress

Hi! This is the second part to my story. I hope you like it! :-D

Evergreen was laying on her small bed of rose petals and an old sock when Rosie stepped into her room. The tiny, green fairy was snoring quietly, so quietly you couldn't hear it until you were mere inches away. Rosie walked over to the sleeping fairy, equally quiet, and whispered,"Hey, Evergreen! Mom said you wanted to tell me something. So what is it, sleepyhead?"
Evergreen shot up to the ceiling in surprise. Her eyes flew open, and a small 'eep!' sound came from her delicate mouth. When she landed back on the cushion, she had a very annoyed and possibly embarrassed look on her face.
"What's the matter with you? You KNOW not to sneak up on me like that! Well, where's my payment?"
Now it was Rosie's turn to look surprised.
"What payment?"
"Silly girl, don't tell me you've already forgotten our agreement! What we had decided was that since I can't have a lock of hair from your head, which is really quite a prize, every time you sneak up on me, you have to give me a pearl from your necklace."
"Oh right, that payment! Sorry, Evergreen. Let's see, would you like a pink or a lilac pearl?"
"Lilac. But first, dear, I must tell you something. It's really quite important. Here, have a seat." Evergreen quickly lost her bad temper, and in its place came a strange look of respect or admiration. Rosie didn't understand this expression, so she sat down with a suspicious look in her eyes.
"Oh, now don't look at me like that! I didn't want to tell you until you were older, but your mother insisted."
"Tell me what, Evergreen?"
"Well, there's no easy way to say this, so I'll come right out and tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"Or perhaps I should start from the beginning, you know, to make sure you understand. Either way I suppose I must tell you, but believe me, I don't think you're ready for this yet."
"Evergreen, are you going to tell me or not?" By now Rosie was becoming quite annoyed. Her friend always babbled like this when she was nervous.
Evergreen looked Rosie straight in the eye and said,"Rosalinda Belle, you are a queen. The queen of the Enchanted World. Or the True Enchantress, as people in our world call it."
