Wishing Wells Count Your Wishes

by fandom-lover-angel

Celeste Grue used to make wishes. But after her 8th birthday, she stopped. At age 14 (may be 15 later, wrote this a while ago) she just blows out the candles. She doesn't make a wish until that night, where she throws all caution into the wind and breaks her 6 year long vow against wishes. What does she wish for? And why is the phrase "Be careful what you wish for" so important?

"I wish that all my dreams came true."

That was the wish I made when I was younger, at age 4, and my parents were splitting up. However, I didn't realize that it was similar to a time capsule. It was set to go off on my 14th birthday.

Don't question me about the strange date, I don't understand why it's not 15 or 13 either. My 14th birthday came around, but I didn't make a wish. I used to just ask for all my wishes and dreams to come true, or for my family and all that I care about to be protected. Or both.

But that doesn't matter now. Because I didn't make any wishes. In fact, I haven't made any wishes since I turned 8. Shortly after my birthday, I had open heart surgery and acquired a new sibling, my baby sister.

I love her, and I decided that I wanted to be the one to protect her, not some mysterious wish-granting force. Now, that time capsule has gone off, and I still haven't made any wishes since I was 8. I'm considering making one, though, and I don't know if it will come true. This is just me telling you a tale, one with me in it, in fact.

Now, do keep in mind, that I, as a character, don't know about all of this happening. In fact, I won't know for a good bit. Maybe even until the second book. That's right, this is going to be a series.

I apologize for the writing beforehand, as I don't have a beta.
