It got silent for a while. Affreys story had made a huge impact on Fawn who didn't know what to think of this. 'Is it possible for a fairy to be born outside of pixiehollow or had something else happened to Affrey that left her in that situation? Anyway that doesn't change the fact that she's here now in need of a home and especially in need of friends.'
"Well you are welcome to stay here in Pixiehollow for as long as you like. I'm sure that once you get used to this place you'll find that it's quite nice here and I'm also sure that you'll make a lot of friends too." Before Fawn could say anymore there was a loud knock on the door.
"Wait here I'll be right back."
She opens her door to see who was knocking.
"Clank, Bobble, what brings you here?"
"Good day to you miss Fawn I hope we're not interrupting or anything." Bobble asked curtious as always.
"We kinda need your help you see." Clank continued.
"Oh, I would like to help but I'm a little busy right now. I'm having a guest over."
"We found this sick fairy this morning, so naturally we tried to help out you know. But then she ran away and we can't find her anywhere."
"So we thought you could help us search. You know since you're the best tracker we know."
Fawn who quickly put two and two together just smiled and said:
"Sure. why don't you come in first? There's someone I want you to meet."
They step inside to see who Fawn was referring to. After all she was known to house many different guests, most of them being her animal friends.
"Affrey, these are two of my friends, Bobble and Clank." Fawn gestured to each one as she made the introductions. I respond with a shy wave of my hand
"Pleased to make your acquaintance. Now you'll have to excuse us...but we... Hold on.. is this...?"
"The one you where looking for?" Fawn filled in.
"Wow you are good!" Clanke said impressed.
"Aherrm.. Well it certainly is good to see that you're ok now. We all got worried when you just dissapeared like that you know." I just slowly nodded my head in response.
"Soo..." Bobble started to speak. "...How're you feeling? It was quite a fall you had back there."
"I'm good"
"Why did you ran off like that tho? We where only trying to help you know."
(silence)
"I can tell you later. For now I think we should take it easy on her, she's been through a lot from what I can understand." Fawn explains thinking it would upset me to have to repeat the story I've just finished telling her. They seem okay with that and then it got silent again. Everyone trying to figure out what to do next. Fawn speaks first asking what I wanted to do and if there's any questions that I might have about them. I think for a bit not wanting to sound to crazy I ask her if she trust them, referring to the guys sitting across the table from us. She looks at them as if she was trying to decide, they in turn tries to look serious wich made the animal fairy giggle softly and said yes.
I tell her that before I ask my questions maybe it would be best if she told them my story so that we all where on the same page, explaining it would be less confusing that way. She agrees and proceed to tell exactly what I've told her, while also implying that they were not to tell anyone else unless that was fine with me. I just watch as they listen intently, sharing some confused looks between eachother now and then.
"That explains the yarn..." The thin guy with wild hair said after Fawn had finished.
"What yarn?" The other two asked.
"The clothes she was wearing is made from that, the kind that's found on the mainland."
"So does that mean she's from the mainland? How is that possible?"
"I don't know and I don't think she knows either."
"This is a mystery alright."
Hearing that I assume that I had somehow been transported to an island of sorts where apparantly fairys lived. So that answered a few of my questions, but instead new ones buzzed around in my head. 'None of this should make sense, fairies was just a human fable right?' Still I couldn't deny that all of this felt wery real and that there where indeed three persons no bigger than me with a clear wingshape coming from their backs. I pinch myself, sure enough that hurt. Then I reach over my shoulders to feel my back knowing I didn't have anything back there, just making sure.
"So.. uhm.. I know this might be a wierd question but... are you guys really fairies?"
They exchange more confused looks.
"yes ofcourse we are. Are you saying that you really haven't met any other fairy before now, not even once?"
"Oh no, I haven't even met anyone as small as me me before, let alone a fairy."
"But you are a fairy too aren't you? So why does it sound like you don't believe there could be more of us? I mean I know you've been living alone but..."
"I'm not a fairy." I simply stated.
"Sure you are what else could you be?"
I stood up from the sofa took off the tunic and turn around
"Have you ever heard of a fairy without wings!?"
