Floralina Chapter 1
Once upon a time in the land of Linepha lived a young woman named Lily. She was a kind, gentle, has a beautiful flower garden, and a cute small house. But there was something still missing from her life and that was a child of her very own for she lived a very lonely life. Lily had lost her husband to an illness 10 years ago after they had married and she had refused to re-marry. But her wish for a child was strong and what Lilly didn't know was that someone was about to make her wish come true.
One day while Lily was tending her garden a strange mysterious old woman appeared by the gate to the fence that surrounded Lily's garden. Once Lily saw the old woman she decides to walk up to her wondering if she was lost. "Hello there can I help you with something?" Lily asked politely and the old woman smiled as she pulled out a small pouch.
"More like I am here to help by granting your wish." The old woman said as she placed the pouch into Lily's hand. Lily opened the pouch and a confused looked took over her for in the pouch was just one small seed.
"How does this seed help grant my wish to have a tiny child of my very own?" Lily asked the old woman and thinking that she might also be crazy.
"Plant this seed and you will soon have a tiny child of your own." That was the last thing the old woman said before she made her way down the road again leaving a very confused Lily looking at the seed. After a few minutes Lily let out a soft sigh and made her way into the house.
"Well might as well plant this after all I can always have another flower addition to my garden." She said as she pulled a pot out with soil and other stuff to plant her seed. Lily then put the seed into the potted soil and gave it a big drink of water, but then an amazing thing happen the seed started growing at a rapid rate. "Oh my what is going on here how is this flower growing so fast." Lilly asked herself as she continued to watch the flower grow. Soon the flower bloomed and inside was a tiny girl that Lily has never seen before in her entire life.
The girl in the flower woke up from her deep slumber and let out a long yawn as she stretched before standing up giving Lily a better look at her. The girl was the age of a teenage, with tanned colored skin, emerald colored eye, hazel nut colored hair and was wearing a of the shoulder green tub top, a pink mini skirt with a strawberry design on it, and pink high heel wedges. Lily was in awe with the tiny girls beauty.
"My aren't you beautiful my dear." Lily said as she held her hand out for the little girl to jump on to and held on to Lily's thumb so she wouldn't fall off. "You are just as beautiful as a flower and no bigger than my thumb." Lily laughed along with the little girl. "I shall call you Flora for not one flower can be compared to you for you are beautiful like all the flowers in the world." Flora laughed and hugged Lily's thumb.
"Thank you mother I really love my name and I can already tell that we will be one happy family." Flora said and Lily smiled at her knowing that she was right. Lily now no longer felt lonely for her wish had finally come true even if Flora was the size of her thumb Lily still loves Flora with all her heart.
Soon many days passed by and Lily was happy having Flora around for it always brightens her day up. Through the days Lily learned that Flora had a beautiful singing voice and how the flowers seem to dance along with her singing. But as the days went on Flora starts to notice how different she really was for she was the only one her size that she know out in the big world and wished that there was others out there just like her.
One Night Lily decided to read a story to Flora from one of her favorite books. "Ah here is the story about the girl that took her favorite rose everywhere with her." She said as her cat curled up into a ball getting ready to hear the store when Flora interrupted her mother.
"Mother not to be rude or anything but are there any stories about people my size?" Flora asked as she jumped onto her mother's hand.
"As a matter of fact yes there is." Lily said as she used her free hand to open to the page in the book before letting Flora jump back on the book to get a closer look at the pictures.
"Oh wow they look like except for the wings on their backs." Flora said as she looked at the wings curiously.
"That is because they are fairies dear Flora they use them to fly." Lily explained to her daughter who was showing a lot of interest in the fairies.
"Wow they are so beautiful." Flora said as she walked along the page staring at the picture of the fairies. "Mother have you ever seen a fairy." Lily thought for a moment on Flora's question and soon remembered something from when she was little. "I believe I have when I was really young out in my garden before it go this big." Lily said and started to explain how she would see something fly by all of a sudden and how she could have sworn she saw something with wings leaving behind some kind of sparkling dust behind. Flora listened to her mother's story and was really absorbed with it and wondering if it was true.
"Mother do people usually have to be the same size to be in love?" Flora asked as she saw a picture of a fairy wedding and it threw Lily off a little.
"Well I suppose Flora that is how it usually works." Lily said as she noticed Flora looking at the Fairy princes wedding picture in the story book.
"Well then I wish I could be bigger then maybe I can find someone to love me like how your husband loved you before he died." Flora said remembering the story about why she was never able to see her father.
"Flora don't ever wish to change who you are dear." Lily started to explain. "You are special and I know there is someone out there waiting for you." Lily smiled at Flora who smiled back a littler at her mother. Soon it was time for bed and Lily took Flora to her special little bed she made for her. Flora's bed was an old little wooden box with flower designs on it that Lily used to hold her earrings but she took them out put cotton balls in as a mattress and sewed a pink blanket with flower detail on it.
Once Lily got her daughter settles Flora decided that she wanted to look at the pictures in the book still. "Mother can you leave the book open I want to look at the pictures as I fall asleep in hopes to dream about fairies?" Flora asked and Lily could not say no and set the book up for her.
"Sleep well my dear Flora." Lily said as she went to her bed and to sleep. Flora though got out of her make shift bed and walked up to the book and started to twirling around and was wondering if her mother was right about being happy with the way she was but Flora could help but feel alone.
I know there's someone somewhere
Someone who's sure to find me soon
After the rain goes there are rainbows
I'll find my rainbow soon
Soon it won't be just pretend
Soon a happy ending
Love, can you hear me
If you're near me
Sing your song
Sure and strong
And soon
The Flowers Danced along as Flora sang her song but once the song came to an end Flora looked at the picture of the fairy prince. "I wonder if there really are fairies out there." Flora asked not knowing her question would be answered soon.
Finally finished this had the ideas and rough drafts school just got out of control and so did the holiday season but first chapter out the day after Christmas enjoy.
