"Welcome to Timber Grove"
Timber Grove: Story #1
by TGTrinity

Chapter 5: "Pete's Growing Up"

Welcome to Timber Grove, a lovely coastal town where changes happen everyday. Meet Samantha Brown, and FBI agent who has a life changing experience with her secretary before going missing. Follow Agent Timothy August as he searches for Agent Brown, and begins to find that things in Timber Grove are never what they seem.

Author's Note: This story is a re-imagining of "Timber Grove: Season One" which was posted online in 2013. There are over twenty other stories in the "Timber Grove" series, but since this is the debut of the series on BigCloset TopShelf I will be posting the stories in order. This is the final chapter that will be posted so close together with the first four, as I have only begun to work on Chapter 6. If there is enough of a demand, I'll put my time into finishing this story ahead of my other projects.

Chapter 27. Coronation in St. Petersburg

.
In-groups they all departed in Black Russian cars. Eventually all had gone but Lucy, Wilma, Alexis & Willie. Grandpa Willie as you are my top man you had better hold my hand and Grandma Wilma & Cousin Alexis can walk behind us. Will Fiona and the other little ones be waiting for us as I do not want to go ahead if they are not?"

Chapter 26. The Arrival of Alexis

The soldiers all laid their instruments or arm down and started to pray. The only ones left standing were Renate and the small group with her. A man came down and approached Renate.

Marie, “You should bow when approaching a queen. Men bow likes this and ladies Curtsy like this to a queen & like this to a princess. I am only a princess because my mum is a princess."

We flew first class from San Antonio to Hobby Airport where my mom picked us up for the half-hour trip home. We took Amie to home and helped her get her bags in. As we left Amie’s house, my mom said, “Jamie, I have a surprise for you.”

“Mom, there is nothing I need … really.”

“It’s not actually something for you. I will tell you this much … I’ve been dating someone.”

“Really? Cool! What’s he like? What does he do? Does he …”

“Slow down! You’ll meet this person when we get home.”

“So what’s he like?”

“Well … totally different from your dad.”

“I’m heading out now,” I say, grimacing in advance at the inevitable response.

“Kayleigh-Ann,” mum says in an obviously fake pained voice, “come here…” I roll my eyes, before heading into the living room and facing my mother, whose face is scrunched up in a look of pure disapproval.

“What is it?” I ask. “I don’t want to keep Ollie waiting…” I don’t want to keep Ian waiting, either, I think to myself.

“WHY are you going out with him?” Mum asks, barely restraining herself from spitting. “He’s a nerd…”

Chapter 61 The council official.

On arriving back at home again in Middleham they found it had all changed at Hidden Corner. Terri appeared, “After you left more of your people started to arrive and the builders have been kept busy. Several had to be taken to the hospital, but all is running smoothly now. When you left this column of fire appeared and it seemed to attract all magic beings. It has been burning all the time you were away and appears to have got brighter now you are home.”

Chapter 2 The School Trip to the Land of Angels.

Wendy. “Your majesty it seems you already know about my cousins and their children?”

Chapter 57 More patients.

About the same time the guardians arrived with a train load of Fay. Most of these where in good condition, but they did bring several injured fay.

.
Chapter 55 Carols dream

Alexis called Jenny and Carol. “That dream you had did it come back Carol?”

Jenny, “Actually It was me who seemed to get the continuation of it. We walked and eventually found a walled town it only had a few inhabitants. They gave us shelter and food. They got excited when they saw the lion cub, and especially when it suckled form either Carol, or myself. Eventually a priest arrived and asked to speak with us.”

The story of a kid who just wants to be cool. Arguably the main character doesn't change at all, just people's perceptions of him.

Chapter 54 Gaby a visit to Whatley School

Gaby looked at Draco Draconaris and Tiny. “I have a task for you and your daughters. I require you to go to America Lord Paramount.”

Draco smiled, “I know full well where you want me to go if you called me Lord Paramount. I presume you want me to pay Mrs Carson a visit at Whatley?”

Chapter 52 Gaby at Sephton Palace

Gaby awoke the following morning & realised she was back at Sephton Palace on the Isle of Man. All around her were the sleeping bodies of Pixies & Tinie's. Quietly as she could she tiptoed to the bathroom to relieve herself. It was only after she had relieved herself that she noticed Paddy sleeping in the bath. Gaby went across and shook him.

“Paddy where is Inga when I need to get dressed?”

Chapter 50 Off to Isle of Man

Drew awoke with a start. He looked round and then realised he was back in his old bedroom back in Warsop and he was Drew again. Still half asleep he tumbled down the stairs and went and sat down in the kitchen. Only after a breakfast of Orange juice and waffles covered in honey did Drew fully awake.

Chapter 49 Boat Festival

Chapter 48 Planning a funeral for the Bond-Peters.

Alexis and the others left Chow Lynn in charge in China & returned to her home in England. A short while later Alexis summoned both Gaby & Maddy's parents.

“Sorry to disturb your routine but I have been thinking about you all. I need you all to think how you wish to die.”

“Pardon Alexis!”

“You will not die of course, but we need to get you all out of the limelight.”

It was Christmas Eve

It was Christmas Eve and it was as black as coal outside for some reason the street lights were not on. Queen Gabriel of Northumbria had moved her court from Scarborough to Skipton the ancient capital of the Dales.

Chapter 46 The missing Children

The tour round the wildlife parks and Zoos had taken longer than Gaby had anticipated. It also took her mind off her forth coming coronation. She was having a chat with Beatrice when trouble arrived in the form of. Lyris and Lily who had returned home from school. At school in the main hall they had been praying for a little girl not much younger than them who had been missing for over 100 days.

Chapter 45 Gaby and the Plains People.

Once again Gaby left the Plains People and dived down to Longleat House. As the riders landed they transformed to their human form. For a while many of them were stunned as it had been so long since they assumed that form. Gaby was still dressed like a teenage girl when the Lord of the Plains approached her.

Chapter 44 More Mermaids

.
Helen. “While Lance is being operated on would you like to meet some of my other ladies?”

“Can you get them at such short notice?”

“I can get hold of some.”

“The main problem with this surgery is funding.”

“Do you help children as well as adults Helen?”

“I do but each case has to be weighed up individually.”

Chapter 43 Skipton the Battle

.

Astrid, “Mum remember we have the battle later today.”

“Yes dear I have remembered. Gaby and the others are getting ready for their race later so do not go and pester them. Helen I presume you are still monitoring Gaby?”

“I have no real need she is quite well adjusted. Initially she had a few problems, but those have abated now. Her problems where genetic as they are for all males in this family.”

Chapter 42c Kalley,Halley & Randell

The following day the three of them went to watch the team race in their first American match. Gaby came in first with Maddy & Cat joint second and Jules coming in third place. There was quite a cheer as the team went to collect the winner’s prize.

Chapter 37. The Sea Witches Daughter

One of the Fay had been listening, “Empress You need small ones like us to get in the house. We can do that task and release our cousins.”

Alexis, “Well we should have a clear run because Poseidon nearly took him out with the overflow.” Sure enough they got into the house and found the missing Mer.

“Please take me with you and our mother will reward you.”

Chapter 41 Crimson returns

The news broadcast stated there had been several simultaneous volcanic eruptions all round the world. Snow smiled, “It looks like more than Crimson survived after all. Keep playing and they will all find their way here as will any others who have not already answered the call?”

“Mum was not telling tall stories then when she said she was a dragon maid.”
