Chapter 15
For days Misty traveled along a road or path, not caring where she was heading. She lead the way down a path happy to simply be free, Dawn buzzing near her.
She walked through rain, and storms, usually spending the night in a cave. She once woke up to the horizon expecting Zaine to be galloping on his horse, heading toward her with his magical smile on his face. But those days were over, and Misty moved on.
She eventually came to Jess's cottage and settled there. She was on her own for now, and she became as comfortable as she would get.
One cold night Misty stepped outside to look at the moon, and to drift away in the stars.
And of course Dawn followed her like she always did.
Misty sat down on a log near a tiny lake which was remarkable. The night sky reflected off of the sparkling water. Misty breathed deeply as she let it all in.
"You know Misty, I can't wait forever. You better decide soon." Dawn said, chewing on the tiniest piece of grass Misty had ever seen. She had her arms crossed, almost as if she was annoyed.
"Fine then, leave." Misty said, her arms wrapped around her knees. She was still looking up at the sky. Ever since the curse had been lifted, she had claimed that she was now free, but she still felt that something was missing.
Dawn sat in silence. She hesitated and then spoke again.
"Are you afraid of something?" Dawn asked, she too looking up at the sky.
"What?" Misty replied, her head turned towards Dawn.
"You're afraid of something. It's quite obvious. I mean, you tell me all these wonderful stories about your old life, and how one day you would go back and conquer what's rightfully yours, and then you just sit around, doing nothing but living and looking up at the sky." Dawn spoke with annoyance, and refused to look at Misty.
Misty didn't speak.
"Whatever you're afraid of, I suggest you get over it and move on because I grow older every day at your expense. We don't live forever you know." Dawn said, now buzzing closer to the edge of the water. She flew above it, her wings fluttering, and she drifted her toes above the water.
Misty sighed.
"I guess I'm just afraid of being rejected, losing everything, I-I don't know." Misty said, shaking her head as she stood up and sat closer to the edge of the water right next to Dawn.
Dawn turned toward Misty and gave her a great big smirk.
"Well here's how I see it. Your stepmother, being the evil git that she is, has already taken everything you have. What more have you got to lose?" Dawn said, smiling.
"Zaine." Misty breathed. "She has Zaine. I've already lost him."
Dawn closed her eyes and shook her head.
"She hasn't got the Zaine you knew. And you know, I suggest you get off your lazy butt and go after him." Dawn said, now stepping on the water, but her wings kept her from sinking to the depths, and she floated, like the fairy she was.
Misty laughed as she twirled her finger in the water.
"You know what, I think I should." Misty said, lifting her head and smiling at Dawn.
"You can't make me come with you though! Please! PLEASE, can you use your wishes already?" Dawn said, now on her knees with her hands clamped together. (She was now sitting on the water.)
"You know I get the feeling you don't want me around anymore." Misty said, laughing at Dawn.
"But, I think I'm ready for my next wish."
Dawn jumped off of the water causing a tiny splash.
"Finally! What will it be?" Dawn rubbed her hands together.
"I-I wish that I had courage like I used to. Sometimes I don't really feel like the old Misty. And I think that's why." Misty said, her arms now crossed, and her eyes lowered in concentration.
"That's one weird wish, granted!" Dawn said, waving her tiny arms around Misty.
Misty felt a warmth spread through her. An old warmth that she didn't realize she had missed until now.
"Now....do you think that you could come up with one last wish, so I can leave?" Dawn said, smiling and giggling.
"You must really not like me. But, I guess I could come up with one quick one." Misty said, now getting up and walking back towards the cottage.
"I wish... that I had a wish itself. I wish I had magical powers, like my stepmother."
Dawn looked up, a worried look in her eyes.
"Not dark magic! Just, normal powers, the good kind!" Misty said, rather fast.
"That's a very powerful wish. You must take care of it." Dawn said. Her eyes still had a worried look to them, but she smiled.
She lifted her arms, and created sparkles, which spun rather slowly around Misty. They glowed, an iridescent white. They started at Misty's feet and gradually worked up towards her head. They spun faster and faster, creating Misty to glow as well.
Then it stopped, and Misty stood there, looking at her hands.
Her eyes had changed, only the slightest bit. Now, her dark green eyes were deep, and if you watched her closely, they sparkled with the same white light.
"You must be careful Misty, this magic, however good it may be can cause trouble." Dawn said, a pleading tone added to her voice.
"I know." Misty said, spinning around, smiling. She now looked, and felt like the old Misty.
For hours, Dawn and Misty laughed, as Misty created an image with her hands of Sophie. She turned the image into a chicken and watched as it clucked around her tiny cottage, looking for food.
Eventually the both of them fell asleep.
The next morning Dawn woke Misty up.
The sun was just barely peeking over the mountaintops that surrounded Misty's home.
Misty knew that morning she had to go back. She was ready to go back, and face her fears.
"Well Dawn, I will miss you." Misty said, petting the bright white horse she had conjured up with the wave of her hand.
She had also changed her clothes. She was wearing a purple-velvet dress (for the weather had taken a bitter turn, and it was now freezing) which was embroidered with an even darker purple colored roses. She had pulled half of her hair back with a delicate braid.
Misty was ready. She felt knew, and did not know what lied ahead for her. But she felt she could take it.
Her cheeks were a warm pink, which matched her delicate lips. Her eyes sparkled more than ever in the cold weather and the dreariness of the day.
"Misty, a warning. You must be careful with the pixie magic I gave you. Big magic is fine, just take heed. People will use you if they realize the power you hold within yourself." Dawn said. She was buzzing close to Misty, ready to say her goodbye.
"I know Dawn. Thank you so much...for everything." Misty said, smiling.
Dawn took a deep bow, and then smiled at Misty.
"So. Have you figured out what you will do once you meet your family again?" Dawn spoke, her voice a quiet whisper. Birds chirped in the background, and the rustling of leaves was the only thing that broke the silence.
"I have no idea. But oddly, I like it that way." Misty said, flashing one last smile towards Dawn as she jumped onto her horse and galloped away on the path. Her dress and hair flying behind her in the wind.
Dawn watched her go, and could not help whispering to herself before she buzzed away, "Take care Misty. I wish you luck. Take him back." Dawn smiled, and with that she flew away, following the wind in an opposite direction.
Authors note:
Ok, I know you guys deserve a nice long chapter full of adventure and romance...and...lots of other stuff...but this is all I've got. Hope it's ok.
Remember how I was SOOO happy that it was summer? Well, um....turns out summer is VERY boring. I'm glad I've got the break and everything (God knows I really needed it) but I have a feeling that in a couple more weeks I'm gunna be begging to go back to school.
Ugh
My life is complicated.
