Chapter 3 –Starting to understand
When everything around her, again became visible, Holly saw, that she was standing at precise the same spot as before. Nothing had changed. Except from the boy. He wasn't standing in front of her, anymore.
"Where did you come from?" a child's voice said behind her. She turned around. He was sitting on the bed now. He looked a little older than the last time, but it was him. Holly guessed, that he was about six or seven years old.
When she walked a little closer, she saw another change. Now the intelligence had started to sparkle from his blue eyes.
"I come from the future… I think," Holly said. "Or the past. I've also been in the past. Ok, ok. I'm confusing. Ehm…"
"What you are saying is, that you are traveling in the time, right miss…?"
"Short. Just call me Holly. Yes, that was exactly what I meant. And you are Artemis, right?"
He nodded.
"I am a fairy, and I've come to talk to you."
"A fairy?" He leaned his head on one side, and stared at her. "Yes, you do look like a fairy…"
Holly smiled. "Yes, that's because I am one. But I suppose, that you had already guessed that, when I came here, right?"
He nodded again.
"How are you Artemis?"
"Fine, I suppose."
"What do you mean?"
He didn't answer.
"Come on," Holly said. "I know there's something wrong."
"My mother is forcing me to go to school, and my father wants me to become … like him… He don't believe, that I can… I think that I disappoint him."
"Do you want to be like your father, Artemis?"
"I don't know… I suppose that I just want him to be proud of me."
Holly looked at the boy. He seemed sad.
Then she again got the pulling feeling. "I'll have to leave now, Artemis. I'm sorry."
"Goodbye."
Holly waved at him, but she didn't get to see, if he waved back, because everything disappeared again.
Holly looked around in the room. This time Artemis wasn't there at all, so she needed to go looking for him.
She walked down the stairs, and when she came to the hall, she heard something. Music. It sounded like a piano or something.
Holly followed the sound to one of the manors many living rooms. There he was, Artemis. And to Holly's big disbelief, it was him who was playing piano.
It sounded perfect and absolutely faultless.
She walked slowly over to him. "What are you playing?" she asked, when she was standing next to him.
He stopped playing and looked at her. "Mozart. Who are you?"
"My name is Holly. You might not believe me, but I'm a fairy. It sounds great, that music you are playing."
"Thank you. I hate playing, but my mother wanted me to take piano lessons. And I do believe you."
"Why? I didn't think, that smart kids believed in fairies."
"Well, I do. I have tried to prove that they don't exist, and I couldn't. And by the way, why would you tell me, that you were a fairy, if you weren't?"
"You're probably right. How old are you Artemis?"
"Eight. How do you know my name?"
"I know a lot about you, but please don't ask more about it, okay?"
He nodded. "Ok. I won't."
"Thanks. Do you always do, what your parents tell you to do?"
"Most often."
"Why?"
The kid sighed. "I don't know. Maybe because I don't want to disappoint them. They have very high expectations to me, I think."
Holly looked at him. Then she felt like someone was pulling her. And when everything started to fade away, she actually started to understand.
