Serena

The Nymph, far different from how I last saw her, bolted towards me. Viex, Custard, and the princes moved out of the way as if sensing something that I couldn’t. I was looking at them all until the nymph held my face in between her hands and started pinching and playing with my cheeks. “It has been a while since I have visitors! How your skin is lovely but so stressed. I mean,” She pulled my head closer so she could examine my forehead. “Would you just look at this zit?”

I slapped my hands wildly in front of me to shoo her away as her offensive words reached through me. I moved back and covered my forehead. “Will you all just leave my George alone?!”

“George? Is that your name? But you’re a girl.”

“No. My name is Rose. George is the name of the zit on my forehead.”
