Alessandra

Alessandra was starting to feel sick from all the rumors of war her head was spinning. She couldn't picture the peaceful nature fairies knocking off each other. The thought was just unbearable. Now she was heading to a place where she could forget the distance between the fairies and the humans, more importantly she could forget about the growing distance between the different nature fairies. She was going to a house in the suburban area. She shrunk and flew to her favorite window sill. It was the window sill of a man by the name of Demetris. He did not know her, but she knew him. She wanted him to know her, but she was still scared. She was just another insect to the humans. Although he was different.

There were so many late nights that she would perch here in front of the window to his office-bedroom. She watched him work at a desktop, under a small lamp. He was working a lot. He was searching for proof. Proof of her existence, not just her, but the entire race of fairies. She felt that he was beautiful. He held more beauty inside then the whole universe did. She watched him rub his brow from sleepiness and stood to turn out his light. He turned and looked right at her as if he could sense her, but she knew he could not see her. Oh, if only you knew how amazing of a creature you truly are." She thought to herself.

He stood up and walked over to a dresser and proceeded to dress for bed. Alessa turned away before she could see anything. She felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment and once she felt he would be finished she returned to watching him. He was now resting in his bed beneath the covers. She let out a silent sigh and slowly, bitterly floated back to the willow tree, it was her home.

The tree was huge, even for a tall person. It was over twenty feet tall! It's long green tears stopped four and a half feet above the ground and it leaned toward the pool of water. The long tears of vines dipped into the water and caused soft ripples in the still tide. She flew to the top and rested herself up there, pulling her knees to her chest, watching the water. She fell asleep there lost in her thoughts. Will this war really come to be? I can't imagine. My people. We are supposed to maintain life and peace. Could there really be fairies searching to destroy...?
