The more I think about my current situation day by day, it feels like it was just yesterday that all this chaos started.
Well… Not bad chaos per say, but chaos, nonetheless.
It all started a month after my twenty-fifth birthday. I had finally graduated from Grad School and after two long years of hard work I couldn't help but let out a sigh of utter relief. I had worked hard to receive my archives degree, very hard. But now that it was all over, I was going to get a steady job and earn good money for myself. My sister and I would to move into my parent's old apartment in New York City, and my adult life was finally going to begin. Oh boy, was I so wrong.
You would think that finding out that you were a fairy would be a much more magical moment. Oh no, no, no, that was not how it went down for me. It was the middle of the night – probably around two o'clock in the morning – when I felt three taps in the middle of my forehead. Of course, I was confused as to why I was feeling something like this in the middle of the night. I had thought my younger brother was trying to be funny for some reason.
"Go away…" I moaned tiredly. I grabbed my chocolate dinosaur plushie, Brownie and hugged the toy to my chest and turned away from whatever or whoever tapped my head.
"Well now, that's no way to greet you fairy godmother." My eye shot open in a panic. I did not recognize that voice, it certainly wasn't any of my family members and it certainly was not me. I gripped onto Brownie hard and slowly turned around. Lo and behold there stood this obscene woman looking at me with large excited eyes and a wide smile. She had long blonde hair, almost white, with beautiful pale blue eyes. She was wearing this long black Victorian dress that flattered her in every way. At the sight of this strange woman, my eyes widened in fear and confusion as I felt my chest contract inwards. It was then I did what any logical person would do when they find a person in their room in the middle of the night, I screamed bloody murder. I ungracefully fell out of my bed as I started to flail backwards towards the wall to possibly get some distance from this stranger in my room.
So here I was with a weird ass stranger in my room in the middle of the night. You would think that this would be the beginning or horror movie scenario. It wasn't, of course. But I hadn't known that at the time.
The woman, who had proclaimed herself to be my fairy godmother let out a loud "humph" before placing her delicate hands on her hips. "What is it with new recruits today? We used to be greeted with praise and awe, now all they do is scream and run away when all I'm trying to do is introduce your birthright! Hmph!" She pouted her red lips as she suddenly crossed her arms together in frustration. While this woman continued to rant in anger about how people like her used to be respected and whatnot, I was just sitting in the corner of my room glued into place. I couldn't move, I was just so shocked and confused. But even through all that shock and confusion I was wondering where the hell my family was. I screamed pretty loud, parents – or at least, my sister, who's in the room next to mine, should have heard me!
Yes, I know, I'm twenty-five years-old and still live in my parent's house. Yeah, I see you judging me. Well you would live at home too if your mom cooked as good as mine! Seriously, she makes the best noodle pudding.
Anyway, the more this woman began to rant and rave I just stared at her frozen like an idiotic deer in the headlights. When the strange woman finally finished her rant, she finally focused her attention back to me. She raised a perfectly shaped blonde eyebrow at me and then let out an exasperated sign. The strange woman then sat on my bed and patted the spot next to her, silently telling me to sit next to her. I gulp quietly as I hug Brownie a bit closer to my chest as I slowly get off the floor and sit next to the woman on my bed.
"Now," She started. "I can see that you're obviously confused as to why I'm here." I nodded slowly as she continued to speak. "I'm also guessing you're wondering why none of your family members haven't come here after you screamed. BTW you screamed so loud you nearly broke my eardrum! I bet you're a screamer during sex, I can totally see it." My eyes widened to size of saucers as I felt my cheeks burn. I could only imagine what I looked like. Probably like a lobster, or a tomato, or any other type of red thing. I don't know you pick.
But yeah sex wasn't something I really talked about with strangers or did with strangers or with anyone really. Oh god, what is this woman here for? What did she want from me? Am I going to get molested? I have a feeling I'm about to get molested.
Almost as if she can read my thoughts, she rolls her eyes with a small smirk on her red lips. "Well, to answer the question about why your family didn't come to your rescue is because I put a soundproof barrier around your room, da." Alright… that made sense? Yeah totally, I think. "Also, the main reason why I'm here is to try and indoctrinate you into our clan." My eyebrows shot up to my hairline. "I'm sorry, what?" The woman giggled and bounced the bed a bit. "Well you see," she started with an excited look on her face. "I'm your fairy godmother! And you my magical little novice, are my fairy apprentice!" My jaw dropped and somehow my eyes widened even further. "I'm sorry…. WHAT?!
