Chapter 7
Author's note: I made my choices! I liked all of them, but two caught my attention! In this chapter you'll meet one. The next chapter you'll meet the other. I'm going to put all the sent characters in my story! Well, here it is!
I lay sobbing on my bed. I don't blame myself, really. If you were told by your best friend's mother that you couldn't be friends with him/her anymore what would you do?
The saddest thing is that Jenna agreed with her mother. She actually said, "Lillian's a freak I only stayed her friend because of sympathy." Next time she tells a friend "I'm going to stay your friend," I will slapped her silly and tell the fay to run!
Am I a freak? I stay with my guardian even though I'm 437 years old! (Technically I'm 18 in human years!) I don't look as unique as all the other fays. Don't even have a fay name!
I kicked my dresser with anger. No one would ever want to be my friend! Never. It took me ages to find Jenna! Strange story really.
I was 14 when it happened. (4 in human years.) I was looking for Mrs. Longblade. She told me to go play, but she went off into the distance somewhere. After trying to make friends,and not succeeding, I decided to follow her.
I had seen moss at the bottom of the river, but I had never seen grass before. It was long and ruff to the touch. Dirt was brown and not squishy like sand.
I looked back and realized I was lost. I didn't know where I was, or where Mrs. Longblade was. Every thing was wilderness. I was longing to jump into a river or a pond.
The ground felt weird and hot. Not cold like sand at the bottom of the lake. I couldn't fly because in water you use your wings to swim.
When water fays turn 56 you learn how to fly above ground. (You would be 9 in human years.) Wind, Earth, and stars learn how to fly at 3. Water is the only one that can swim and breath under water.
"Who are you?" Ask a shrill voice. I spun around to see a young female fay. She had amber hair and her eyes were sky blue. Her skin color was green and her wings were red.
"My name is Lillian!" I answered her. "What is your name?" The fay didn't look very impressed, but she answered my question.
"Call me Jenna," She said. She sounded proud. I knew she wasn't going to tell me her real name.
"You can call me Lily," I said hoping to please her. Jenna sniffed.
"What are you doing here, Lily?" She asked.
"Lost!" I explained. That day we became, or I thought, friends. I told her about myself and she led me home.
When I blinked back into regular life, I realized that my room was a mess. Dresser on the floor with clothes spilling out, bed messy and pillow ripped, lamp smashed on the floor, and just plain messy.
"What was that noise?!" Mrs. Longblade's voice exclaimed. My face went pale. She was going to kill me.
I opened my window and swam out. I controlled the currents to take me above the surface. Once I broke through I shot up into the sky.
I didn't know where I was going, but I just let my wings take me there. The wind felt glorious against my face. My wings seemed like the only thing that would accept me.
I finally came to a branch about ten miles from home. I sat down to catch my breath. The stars were out. Beautiful they were. Giant bulbs of light in the sky. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I my, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight. I wish that Jenna's legs will grow back, and that she will lose all memory of me."
CRASH!
A branch fell like a missile to the ground. The sound was horrific. I bet the humans could hear it too.
I turned around slowly. A female fay stood there. She had long white hair with a blue flower in it. Her eyes were sharp green. She had a strapless baby blue dress that went to her knees. A scar was across her cheek.
"Who are you?" I asked. She didn't answer. Just looking me up and down. I sighed.
"My name is Lillian, but you can call me Lily." The fay seemed timid.
"My name is Aura Light," she said quietly.
"Nice to meet you," I greeted. Suddenly, the girl looked up.
"Are you trying to lead a attack on us Wind fays?" She asked. "It wont work. Where are your little friends?"
"Don't have any," I explained.
"Oh," she said quietly. I just sat there and she just stood there. We were quiet.
"Awkward silents," I breathed.
"Not for long!" Mrs. Longblade's voice came with anger. "Lillian Burlures, you are in so much trouble!"
