Reach for the Stars
Chapter 7
*Present*
Irish Fairy stood in the middle of the mess hall holding her tray, not sure what to do. She
felt Zero step up next to her. She looked down at him. He smiled. "We sit together." he said and
led her towards the table with the other boys from D-tent. Zero walked around and sat on the
other side of the table. ZigZag slid over and patted the table.
Fairy Sat down uncomfortably. "Why is everyone looking at me?" she asked her gaze
scanning the room.
"You're the only girl." X-Ray said in a tone that meant. "Duh." Fairy sent him a cold look
and then looked down at her tray and poked at the beans. She didn't think she could eat them.
Sure she had eaten some nasty things in her life, but this was too high on the list.
She was snapped out of her daze when a hand reached over and grabbed the only thing
edible on her plate, her bread. She snapped her head up and met X-Ray's unblinking one with her
own cold icy glare. "You didn't dig today, so I don't think you mind sharing your bread."
Fairy looked at him unblinking a calm blank look in her eye. "Sure why not." she
shrugged the bland look still in her eyes. "I haven't eaten in a long time. One more day won't kill
me." She stood up and walked to the garbage and dumped her tray. Throwing in on the stack of
trays and disappeared out the door.
All the guys sat there silently looking at X-Ray. ZigZag suddenly stood up. "Why did you
do that. She is going to fade away into nothing..."ZigZag said getting into X-Ray's face. "I bet
you could count every single rib in her body, every single one."
ZigZag tucked his own bread into his pocket and went and dumped his tray and stormed
out of the messy hall. Zero followed suit slowly tucking away his bread and creeping out the
door.
Magnet, Squid, and Armpit all looked at X-Ray. Armpit shrugged. "I guess it isn't a big
deal, you do that to all the new people." Squid and Magnet nodded in agreement. Although Squid
frowned. He didn't like the blank haunted look she had had in her eyes right before she left.
*Flashback*
Star heard loud footsteps pounding up the steps as she changed Stephanie into dry
clothes. Stephanie jumped and whimpered at the sound of the door slamming shut. Quickly
tucking Stephanie into the bed Star ran out of the bedroom securing the door behind her.
She stood in front of the door dripping wet. Eyes still red and swollen from crying she
noticed her dad stumbling out of his bed room, beer bottle in hand. He was making his way
towards her and the door that led to her sister.
Star pushed herself away from the door and trembling she made her way towards the
living room. Leading her dad away from Stephanie's door.
She curled up in a big overstuffed chair still trembling. A few seconds later Star's dad
stumbled in. He whipped the beer bottle at the wall about her head. Star winced as it shattered,
the pieces fell to the floor. Star's dad stormed over and grabbed her by her upper arm. He
whipped her out of the chair and flung her into the wall. Her feet were bleeding from the glass,
but that was the least of her worries as her dad slowly advanced towards her. Star fought back the
urge to gag from the smell of alcohol as her father pressed his lips to hers. Star whimpered, she
knew what would come next.

Nymphs are from mythology. Nymph is the Greek word meaning young women. They are
playful, sometimes seductive fairies. They are either immortal or long lived...so basically kind of
like the gods, but yet lesser. They were musical and gentle but they could be wild and vengeful
bringing lots of destruction. They are a lot like pixies...pixies are fairies or elves with the pointed
ears they are known to be cheerful and mischievous. Nymphs were like guardians of nature.
There are stories among Greek mythology about Dryads...these are the wood nymphs. They lived
in trees and died with the tree...if someone cut down the tree they died too. This is where I also
got my reference to Psamthe...she is the sand goddess within Greek myths. (I hope this helps.
Sorry for any confusion...if you ever have any other questions, just ask..I won't bite you for
asking a question...I promise.)
Trinity- Hey hey thanks for the review, and hey I don't want to know what your guess would
have been. Hehe naw just kidding. Hope you like this chapter too.
Jamsey- look I am on a roll...rolling, rolling, rolling down the river. Sorry I am all good...just in a
singing mood tonight.
Naomi- hey thanks for the review. I think it is awesome..and yes kind of weird that we are
similar, but hey that means I am not that different. Keep on spinning girl.
