Jess bit her lips slightly and glared at Urho behind her “ So annoying.”

Urho looked at her and smiled “ Well, you know? I am afraid you will get lost as well.”

Urho laughed and Jess glared at him and walked faster she snorted “ Can you stop following me like a shadow? I need privacy.”

Urho was still smiling “ Doesn't Master told you that your ability may fail you?”

Jess glared st Urho “ I don't need your help, can you just disappear for a sec?”

To where? Under the ground?”

Jess bit her lips again and walked down the street without a word.

Urho smiled “ We are almost there, right?”

Jess nodded, and again ignored him.

Urho shrugged “ I want to know how long can you live without saying a word.”


What do you want?!”

See? You just cannot bare to live without talking and chatting.”

so what? Is that important for you?”

Maybe?”


Jess pointed to a reddish building “ Here is the palace.”

It was a big reddish palace with shimmering pearl on the top, it shines brightly, no one can resist the brightness of it.

Urho bit his lips “ I hate the light, its too colorful as well.”

They are the northern side's fairy, unlike from us.”

Urho shrugged “ Yeah, we live inside night.”

Jess couldn't help herself to shrug back “ yeah.”


Urho made a face “ You go inside, if anyone found you, just shout my name, wont you?”

Not if I can't do it myself.”

Urho shrugged “ Whatever.”


Jess snorted then dashed into the door gate, she muttered to herself “ Half a mile then right.”

Jess smiled then turned right just as the half a mile ended, she was heading to a light blue building, “ heres it,” she said “ the servants housing.” Jess rolled her eyes and sneaked to the second room on the right and jumped inside by the opened window.

Sergiane sighed slightly as she sat down on a wooden arm chair, someone smiled “ Whats so stressful?”

Under the light, Jess walked in “ Can you tell me?” she asked.

Sergiane's eyes darken “ Who are you?”

Jess shrugged “ My name is Jess.”

Sergiane looked at Jess “ Are you related with Zlogonje?”

Jess laughed “ You are smart, smarter than I had expected.” Jess looked around her finally sat on the sofa in front of Sergiane “ So?” Jess smiled.

If so, why did you come? Please get out of here, no one will appreciate your visit.”

Jess sighed “ Really? I think you appreciate my visit, since I think you know I can help you, isn't it?”


Sergiane glared at her, however, she managed to control herself “ Why would I? Your master is an enemy of my master! I am not a fool. Since when we are friends anyway.”

Jess shrugged “ Well, maybe we really aren't, but sometime, we will be. Agree?”

Sergiane demanded “ Why do you come?!”

Jess shook “ Oh sweet heart, calm down, I am here to help you.” Jess smiled “ You will soon be please.”


Sergiane rolled her eyes, she didn't have an idea why Jess, a fairy of the southern side, bounded to Zlogonje, will find her “ I am please enough now, I serve my queen.”

Jess smiled “ Really? I think you are really unhappy of what she had done to you ten or more years ago. Or do you go over it already?”

Sergiane said “ Get out, or I will tell the guards.”

Jess laughed “ You think anyone can stop me?” Jess shook “ Yeah, maybe, but not if Urho is here. Sweetie, I sincerely hope you will listen to me.”

Sergiane bit her lips “ What do you want?!”


Jess shrugged “ Something you can give me without any problem, just your help.”

Sergiane laughed “ You are the trust of the Southern King, what will you need from me?”

Jess smiled “ I know things you don't know and you know things I don't know, how bout we exchange?”

Sergiane rolled her eyes again “ Like what? And why do you have the confidence that I wont call for help?”

Jess laughed “ Well, if you still obey her, I wont trust you, but since you are just partly obeying her, I trust you.”

Sergiane said “ So, thats why Zlogonje trust you so much, you are such a fairy.”

Jess shrugged “ So how about that, if you can tell me where the key is, I will help you defeat that queen.”

Sergiane knew what Jess want, Gasira, the girl who was the important key to fairy, but she need to pretend “ what key?”


Jess' eyes darken, smile more wicked “ If you are trying to play games in front of me, forget that.”

Sergiane said “ Fine, I do know where the key is, so what?”

Jess laughed “ I need your help.”

Sergiane shrugged “ Great.”


Jess smiled “ Deal”

(review with proofreading too, as requested)
period after "Urho behind her"
period after "and smiled"
period after "Jess snorted"
period after "still smiling"
"Doesn't Master told you" - Do you mean "Didn't Master tell you"?
"glared st Urho" - "glared at Urho" - period after "Urho"
period, not comma, after "don't need your help"
period after "Urho shrugged"
period after "Urho smiled"
no comma after "Jess nodded"
period after "Urho shrugged" (Unless you mean to make a point of how often this character shrugs, you may want to find some other "business" - small action or gesture - for Urho to do instead.)
period after "stomped her feet"
period after "Urho laughed"
"cannot bare to live" - "bear"
period after "Jess snorted"
capitalize "So"
period after "Urho laughed"
I'm also seeing a very repetitive pattern in sentences here: a short description of action - someone smiles or shrugs - followed by their line of dialogue. Try mixing up the order a bit, or not having them do some business before every time they speak.
period after "reddish building"
"reddish palace" - You already said that it's reddish. Maybe something more specific than "big, reddish" would work better. Is it sprawling? Towering? What kind of material is it made of? Brick? Granite? Sandstone?
"shimmering pearl on the top" - Actual pearl? Not a practical material for ANYTHING that gets exposed to weather. (Even pearls that people wear as jewelry have to be cleaned because the acid in human skin damages them otherwise - just think of what sun and rain would do.) Maybe the pearly look is actually fancy glazed tiles?
"it shines brightly, no one can resist the brightness of it" - change in verb tense - "It shone so brightly, no one could resist the brightness of it."
period after "bit his lips"
period, not comma, after "hate the light"
"its too colorful" - "it's"
period after "Jess laughed"
"unlike from us" - either "unlike ours" or "different from us" (I'm not sure what you mean here)

period, not comma, after "go inside"
"if anyone found you" - "If anyone finds you"

question mark, not period after "Since when are we friends, anyway"
period after "Jess shrugged"

"eyes darken" - "darkened"
"smile more wicked" - "and she smiled more wickedly"
period after "wickedly"
comma after "Sergiane said"
period after "Jess laughed"
period after "Sergiane shrugged"
Major problems: End punctuation - ALWAYS use some kind of punctuation at the end of a sentence. Character actions - too much shrugging, too much laughing when it doesn't seem appropriate, lack of reaction to things (like someone sneaking into the palace) that a character would probably not take so calmly.
A bit more description of place would help, too. We know from description that the larger part of this chapter happens in a palace, but what about the rest of it? And what do those places look like? Are there other people around? What is the weather like? What time of day?

this is great, and no doubt you worked really hard on it, but i have a few suggestions:
-this is mostly dialouge. while dialouge is good, too much can, sorry to say, start to get boring.
-when writing it is good to use snapshots instead of speaker tags. you lean towards speaker tags.
-insted of 'she said' try something like 'she snorted and turned her back, continuing to walk forwards. its alot more captivating.
-i don't know the setting. before, after, and in between dialouge, it its good to describe the setting, the mood, the characters, and other things that are important to the story.
-i said before that snapshots are better than speaker tags, but there is nothiung wrong with using speaker tags every now and then. but, when you use them, they can be placed before, after, and in the middle of dialouge. i noticed you put the majority of them at the beginning of speech, and that should be changed.
--------
i rveiewed this honestly becaus e it is what i would want. i think you're writing is good, but you should definatly use the tips i have given you, and those from weaver as well.

Happy Writing!!!!!

I like the idea of the story...
but it defaintly needs a bit of work in the grammar, and is a little confusing in some places... once you edit it will be a really good book:)

Jess is quite a character. She is a real handful.
Can't wait to see what she does next.
