"Somebody do something! Please! For the sake of my baby! Please stop the curse! Help!" my mother begged. They were so devastated. They hoped that somebody knew how to fix the curse. Nobody moved. Only, it seemed, that the queen's lady in waiting Narcissa knew what to do.
Narcissastudied white magic. She was well know for it throughout the land. If anyone knew what to do, it would be her. There was only one thing my godmother could say about the situation.
"I cannot help you Andromeda. You just can't undo magic, just like that. If you undo the magic, you have a risk of undoing everything else. It cannot be done. I'm sorry." Narcissa said in an upset voice.
"For goodness sake 'Cissa! This is my child! Your godchild! Doesn't that mean anything to you!"
"Of course it does. But now this child will grow up knowing about this. It's now her responsibility to do what she needs to do to end the curse. We should all have faith in her. But nobody is worth unraveling the world for." Narcissa said in a cold voice. Narcissa believed that I could do it. She also knew how much Andromeda was angry with her.
Andromeda had a mixture of anger, despair, and pure sadness running through her veins. My mother must have been so disappointed with Narcissa. To hear the downfall of her only child from her best friend. It would have hurt less if her heard it from her worst enemy. "Leave me," the queen murmured with deep loathing. "Leave this kingdom and never return"! She wanted to go on about the punishments that Narcissa would have to endure if she was to return, but she just couldn't do it. She knew Narcissa would respect her wishes.
My godmother turned and gave both king and queen and perfect bow and walked toward my cradle. Tears began to stream from her eyes. She never meant for this to happen, and here it was. She looked down at me and spoke, not loud, but enough that everyone could hear her. "I now realize that I did not give you my gift yet, dear princess, and now that I will be banished after I leave this room, now is as a good time as any. If what is done cannot be undone, than let it be done again. This child should prick her finger at sixteen and shall sleep, only to be awakened by true love's first kiss. It may be a week, or even a hundred years". She now leaned down and whispered so that only I could hear her. "May you always love and have a strong heart young nymph. I'll miss you". Then, she kissed my forehead, gave my parents one last bow and walked away. This is my only memory of my godmother. I was to never see her again.
Now, you see what the horrible Bellatrix did to everybody. She cursed me, but I feel she cursed my mother too. Narcissa was her sister and her best friend. She was forever gone.
And, with that, I started my childhood. I am now always wondering about my true love (like any girl). Will I ever find him? Or will I forever be stuck with this spell. Oh boy, that's not good to think about. I'm really worried now.
A/N--Okay, I kind of made up about the part that Narcissa was the fairy godmother. I mean, she is, but that's her only part in the story. So she is, and yet she isn't. She is her godmother and magical, but not a fairy. I realize that I wrote the first chapter about a year ago and, after my dear sister nagging me (animechick91), I finally put it up. I know it sucks, but thanks for reading it anyway! I really worked hard on this. I'm not really sure if I want her to sleep for one hundred years, but I'm not sure. I'm already forming changes from Cameron Dokey's story, so it's got different parts in it.It seems kind of fast paced, but they didn't get into much detail with this part. Will get better! Opinions totally open! Toodles!
