Samantha “I am sorry about coming here like this. I had car issues and did not want to miss this interview. Unfortunately the weather decided not to be in my favour either.” I told Mrs Gold. She looked at me nodding her head. “I can see that. I do admire your persistence in getting here. Ok, so let’s just cut to the chase then shall we?” She asked as she pulled her chair out from the desk to sit down. I nodded to her to indicate I was ready to do this interview. “My husband and I are very busy people. We run many of this town’s business, plus we have the added responsibility of ruling things here as well.” She said to me. I knew the Gold’s had many businesses here in this town, but her comment of ruling the town had me a bit confused. I knew people always joked and said the Gold’s ruled the town, but I didn’t think it was literal. “Anyway, I need someone that we can trust to help us with our daughter, Eva. Can I trust you Samantha?” Mrs Gold asked me. “I like to think you can. I have no secrets Mrs Gold. I love children and hopefully Eva and I can be great friends.” I told her. “Hmm, I saw from your resume you were an early childhood major at the university, but you are not in school right now is that correct?” She asked me. How do I tell her I had to drop out of college to help take care of my drunk father because he can not get over the death of my mother? “No, unfortunately I had to leave school due to family issues. I hope to return soon though.” I told her. Mrs Hold squinted her eyes at me and pursed her lips together. Finally she said, “I heard what happened to your mother, I am sorry about that. Let’s go see Eva, that will determine if you are going to be given a trial here or not.” Mrs Gold said as she pushed her chair back from the desk and stood up. So all I have to do is impress the kid? I can definitely do that. I followed Mrs Gold out of the office and over to a room on the ground floor that she called the nursery. Inside this room looked like a toy store had exploded. It was filled with dolls and toys. Over in the corner, I saw a small table and chairs where a little blond girl was sitting. She had three of her dolls in the chairs, each of them had a cup in front of them. I realised quickly she was pretending to have a tea party with her dolls. “Go on, go impress my daughter.” Mrs Gold said to me. I nodded my head and walked over to the tea party. I reached the small table and crouched down so I was at the table height. “Hi Eva, I’m Sam. Looks like you have a little tea party here. May I join you?” I asked her. Eva looked up at me and sighed, she said, “Another one.” I looked over at Mrs Gold and saw she was busy looking at her nails, not really paying any attention to me with her daughter. Great, I already blew this. The woman isn’t even watching me interact with her kid. Well, I do have a small secret up my sleeve. “You know, tea is good…” I said to Eva as I looked back at her. I looked again to see Mrs Gold was still playing with her nails. “But what if we had instead….” I said as I waved my hand over the cups. The cups slowly filled up with chocolate milk. I watched as Eva’s eyes got big as she watched the cups fill. I took one of the little cups and took a sip from it and said, “Mmm my favourite.” Eva took her cup and took a sip as well. Her mouth dropped open. I smiled at her and put my finger to my mouth and said, “Our secret ok?” Eva smiled and said in a whisper to me, “Our secret.” My mother had some fae in her. She was part fae, part human. I inherited some of her fae powers apparently. No one knew my mother or I had these powers. My father is human. So it was a little surprising that I had any power at all. One day I just suddenly could make things just appear. I never understood why until I asked my mother. That was when she told me about being part of the fae. I always thought fae were these imaginary creatures that existed in books. I never knew they actually existed until my powers suddenly came. My mom hushed me and urged me to keep the fae part a secret. My father was unaware of her being part fae. Unfortunately I never learned why the need to be so secretive since my mother passed away. The only thing I could figure was because we lived in a small human town. Eva got up out of her chair where she was sitting and ran over to her mother. “Mommy, can Sam play with me?” She asked her mom. Mrs Gold stopped playing with her nails to look down at Eva. “Are you sure you like to play with Sam today sweetie?” She asked the little girl. The little girl smiled and nodded her head and said “yes mommy.” “Ok, well how about you play with her in a little bit. Mommy needs to talk with Sam first ok?” She asked her daughter. Eva sighed and said, “Yes mommy.” “Good, go play with your dolls. Samantha, come with me please.” She said as she turned to leave the nursery. I watched Eva turn from her mother with a sad look on her face as she walked back over to the tea party. I smiled at her as I hit up from the position I was in and said, “I will ge back lickity split, ok.” Eva laughed and said, “Lickity split.” I smiled at the little girl and walked out the room to where Mrs Gold was standing. “I have rules, rule one is no visitors unless you clear it with me first.” She said. “That isn’t a problem.” I told her. She nodded her head and said, “The biggest rule I have is no sleeping with any of my sons, there is no exception to that.” She stated. “Your sons live here?” I asked confused. “Yes, they are preparing for their futures. So to keep them inline, they live here. I was young once too and I know my sons are handsome catches for girls like you. I won’t have them ruin their lives over a night of passion, got it?” She told me.
