Chapter 14
Misty laughed as a giant spider tickled her with its furry black legs. She pushed it away and jumped out of bed. It was a sunny day and Misty was happy. She ran downstairs of the tiny house she was in. She ran outside, waving to Jess on her way out.
She jumped in a field of flowers, spinning and laughing gleefully as she looked up and the baby-blue sky. She tripped over a vine and fell onto a ground covered in white daisies. Misty giggled as she kicked her feet in the air, and waved a Zaine who was floating on a cloud above Misty's head.
Misty got back up and danced with herself until she reached a pond. She balanced on a vine; almost falling for her balance was not very good. She held her arms out as it started to rain, and collected the water droplets in her hands.
She smiled as a green butterfly glowed past her face, floating through the rain. She lost her balance, and tumbled into the pond, her clothes once damp, now soaked. She dived into the water, as cold and bitter as it was. Suddenly she heard thunder underneath the water, and saw lightning. Her vision blurred and she couldn't she past 10 inches in front of her. It scared Misty, and she tried desperately to see what was in front of her.
She had a sudden longing to get out of the water; there was someone there, something above the water that she needed to reach. She couldn't reach. She pushed her arms through the water, and get to the surface, but to no avail. Something was weighing her down. She kept falling to the bottom of the pond, deeper and deeper, the darkness becoming darker.
She felt something soar past her; a yellow dove was flying underneath the water. It reached the surface, and flew through the rain, higher and higher towards the sky, while it left Misty, trapped underneath the water, longing for just one peek of the surface.
Misty swatted the air. A bug most likely was buzzing near her ear. Something flicked Misty's nose, and she brushed her fingers against her nose as she switched sides of her tiny bed.
What a weird dream she had just had. A rather annoying nightmare Misty thought as she swatted her ear once again.
Misty opened one eye. It was not yet morning. The sun outside was just beginning to become a deep orange.
Misty didn't want to get out of bed. Another day of work, another day of chores, another day of living up to someone else's expectations.
Misty closed her eyes, and swatted her ear again. Something buzzed near her other ear.
"What is wrong with the flies in this room?" Misty said, annoyed as she opened her eyes.
But when she did open her eyes, she noticed what she was swatting at.
A big sparkling green ball of light was floating around Misty's head.
She didn't say anything, wondering if she was still dreaming as the light slowly floated as if a feather, and landed on her bed.
Misty blinked once, twice, but the light was still there. Then the ball of light started to speak.
"My name is Dawn. I'm a pixie-fairy from Estianye. I've come here to--." The light spoke, and Misty interrupted.
"You're a what?" Misty said, her eyes wide.
"I'm a pixie-fairy. Like, a fairy godmother, only more energetic and eccentric. And I'm not old…technically."
Misty stared at the ball, and then saw the pixie. She was very tiny, but her size was made up for with beauty. Her skin was a pale green, but she sparkled all over. Her eyes were like emeralds, and they shined every time she smiled. Her hair was waste length, and also a light green. She had a torn light green dress on that flowed around her as her wings fluttered like a hummingbird.
"I've come to grant you your wishes." Dawn said, her eyes sparkling.
"My w-wishes?" Misty said, confused.
"Yes, your wishes! You did make a wish last night at a wishing well, and as a shooting star flew past you, didn't you?" Dawn said, folding her arms across her chest.
"I did? I think so, umm, yeah." Misty said, completely bewildered.
"Good, that's why I'm here. In my kingdom we pixie-fairy's live to grant people's wishes. But we only grant them if you see a shooting star and you are at a wishing well." She smiled.
"Uh, okay." Misty said, still in complete shock.
"Well then, what will it be?" The pixie said, now buzzing right next to Misty's head.
Misty leaned back on her pillow and rubbed her hands across her face.
"You can't just expect me to make up my own wishes right now can you? I mean it's not that easy." Misty said; her voice muffled.
The pixie-fairy hesitated.
"Well, don't you want riches, or fame, or love? I mean, most people usually have their deepest desires all worked out." The fire-pixie started buzzing around the room, looking at Misty's things; not that there was very much to look at.
"Well I'm not most people." Misty followed Dawn with her eyes.
"Then, I'll just stay with you until you have them all figured out!" Dawn landed on Misty's outstretched hand, and smiled, her teeth sparkling. She looked twice as bright on Misty's dirty hand.
"Fine, but I assure you that you will not be amused, my life is very boring at the moment." Misty said, getting out of bed, and washing her face.
"At the moment?" Dawn said, as she landed on Misty's shoulder.
"What?" Misty said as she put on her working clothes and tied back her hair.
"You said at the moment. Was there a time before now when your life wasn't boring?" Dawn said, buzzing towards Misty's washing pitcher and sat down on the edge.
"Yes, well actually this is like, a temporary moment of my life. I don't know; the story is too long to explain." Misty said, walking out of her tiny room, and continuing towards the pub downstairs.
"Ahh, I see." Dawn said as she buzzed near Misty's ear.
Misty stopped halfway down the stairs.
"Can't you like, make yourself invisible or something? I mean, most people aren't used to floating pixie-dust, people, thingies floating near peoples ears." Misty whispered.
"I suppose you're right, but just for your own good it's fire-pixie." Dawn said as she snorted and raised her chin towards the air.
As Misty rolled her eyes, Dawn disappeared, but the weight on Misty's shoulder was still there.
"Fine, pixie-fairy, now please just be quiet!" Misty said.
Misty reached the bottom of the stairs and headed towards Keyisha, who was at the moment in the back of the pub making a drink.
"Talking to yourself again Julie?" Keyisha said still looking at her drink.
"No, I was just, umm, singing." Misty said, as she turned around slightly embarrassed and headed towards the nearest table.
"Your name is Julie?" Dawn whispered in Misty's ear which mad Misty jump.
"No my name is Misty, I just say my name is Julie, I'll explain later." Misty whispered back to Julie.
Misty smiled falsely to her new customer and asked them want they wanted.
She walked back towards the kitchen for a five-minute break when Keyisha caught her and ordered her back to work.
Misty rubbed her ankles, sore already when the day was not half over. She shrugged following her order, when she stopped, and her eyes went wide.
"I know what I want my first wish to be." Misty said, a smile creeping across her face.
"Ooh! Finally, I was worried that you would never come up with anything and I would have to--"
"I wish I no longer had a curse placed upon me." Misty whispered.
"What?" Dawn said, whispering as well.
"I wish the curse that keeps me locked away, holding me under water until I drown, the curse that keeps me from flying away. I wish I no longer have it placed upon me." Misty said, now grinning.
"You have a curse placed upon you? Oh well, I shall try." Dawn said shrugging her shoulders.
Suddenly Misty was surrounded in little green lights, just like Dawn, only they were bigger, and warmer. Misty started to spin, and she didn't care who saw, in a matter of seconds, she would be free!
Suddenly the spinning stopped, and the warmness was gone.
Misty gasped, praying with all her heart that it had worked.
"Dawn, order me to do something!" Misty said, her voice fast and shaky.
"Jump three times." Dawn said, now slightly confused.
Misty closed her eyes and held her breath. Nothing happened, no headaches, not stomach aches, her heart didn't feel like it was going to burst open in a matter of seconds.
"No," Misty whispered, her smile now permanently etched across her face.
"Julie, I want you back to work now, we've got a full load." Keyisha said and Misty turned to face her.
"I'm sorry Keyisha, you've been such a great help." Misty said, walking past Keyisha and ran up to her tiny room, she was free!
She grabbed all of her belongings and ignored all of Dawn's protests and comments.
She ran down to the front of the pub and jumped on one of the tables.
Everyone stared at Misty, some costumers had looks complete confusion on their faces, and others looked slightly amused. One of the drunk men even whistled at Misty.
"Sorry Keyisha, but I'm afraid that your service towards me is no longer needed! I'm free, and so now I leave you with this very positive goodbye." Misty curtsied and started to spin. She lifted her arms in the air and smiled.
"JULIE GET OFF THE TABLES! WE'VE GOT CUSTOMERS!" Keyisha yelled. Her eyes looked as if the were ready to pop out of her head.
"NO! And my names not Julie, it's Misty!" Misty was laughing and giggling, once before she felt content with her life, feeling as if this was as far as she could go. Now Misty was ready to take on the world, and tackle it till she reached the end.
"FINE, THEN MISTY GET OFF MY TABLES!" Keyisha was on the verge of insanity. Many of her customers were actually glad for then entertainment.
"NO, don't you see? I don't have to do anything now! I can be me, I can be free!" Misty smiled as she held her skirts back and kicked a man with rather large ears soup off the table.
"Well, would you rather get kicked out? I don't know what's happened to you, but I gave you a place to stay! I even gave you a respectful job and everything and this is how you repay me?" Misty was now sure that Keyisha was counting to ten.
"No, I'll leave myself! I'm going to get my dashing prince for the damsel in distress has already been saved!" Misty said, jumping off the table.
She skipped out of the door, gleaming in the sunlight. She carried her sack of belongings over her shoulder and continued down the nearest road.
Dawn turned for one last look at the pub and she was sure she heard a man say
"Now that one, she's off her rocker, nice entertainment though."
