Chapter 5

The Morning Girl

Authors note: Sorry if the story has been droning on, well now, here's where the real story begins. Feel free to review this chapter to, I appreciate.

Amy opened the front door to her house and wandered outside. The sun was shinning and bathing her with warmth. Everything was so peaceful. Dew glistened on the grass as she walked down her cracked and dirty driveway.

She made her way into town in hopes of getting some exercise. She really didn't care where her feet were leading her because her heart led the way. Her mind was focused on other things. Well not really just focused on Sonic. She was stilled confused why he had broken up with her if he stilled loved and cared about her. She never knew, and probably never find out what Sonic was going to say to her that day in the park. She was so heartbroken at the time though, she just didn't want to hear it.

"I should have listened to his reason, why was I being so stupid?" she said to her own feet as she walked on in the sunlight.

She stilled questioned though, if she stilled loved him at all. She had so many questions on why's and who's of why their relationship had come to a sudden end, but no answers. And the words that she had said to him, and what he had said to her, still haunted her dreams. She just hoped that her heart would get her through these dark and dreadful times.

Soon she found herself in Twinkle Park; this brought even more memories about Sonic. She put them behind her though, and walked on. She wanted to spend this lovely day in the present, enjoying every moment, not in the past. So she let her heart take her further, marking every step in her mind, until she came to something that seemed like a secret garden, she had never been to this part of the park before. She looked down the one that stood in front of her. On either side of her body led two more paths going in the opposite direction of each other.

There were dozens of flowers and trees, all different shapes, colors, and sizes. It was like stepping into a whole new world. A fairies garden, all you needed WAS the fairies and it would be just like out of a fairy tale. Locked in a fairy tale world, but she was the only fairy, all alone, and lost. Her heart told her to take the path right in front of her but her mind told her to turn back.

She peered down the middle path and saw a fountain. It was spouting clear water that shimmered like the stars. A mist that seemed to kiss her face they disappear, beckoned her towards the fountain.

"I really am in a fairy tale world, now where is my night….." she peered down at her shoes, then started to walk towards the fountain. Closer and closer she walked almost running, and then she saw her.

There on the edge of the fountain sat a girl. She was pure white, with long flowing silver hair that shimmered almost as much as the fountain. She was singing.

"Glory oh glory wont you call my name?

Sing to me sing to me, please no more shame

Come to me come to me, show me the light,

Take me oh take me, away from this fright

Glory oh glory call out my….."

She spotted Amy.

"Do you need something?" the strange girl asked

Amy, speechless by the beautiful voice the girl had, walked closer and saw that the girl was only 8 or 9 years old.

"Oh, please continue singing, it was beautiful." Amy felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

The girl did not continue singing. She just sat there and played with the laces of her shoes.

Amy pulled a penny out of her purse, shut her eyes, and then tossed it into the fountain. She sat down next to the girl, but left a lot of distance in-between them.

"What did you wish for?" the girl said with much curiosity

"I wished for the answers to all my questions." She said with a little jump at the strange question.

"Do you think it will come true?" the little girl asked.

"I hope so." Amy said fiddling with the latch on her purse. "Have you made a wish yet?"

"I can't wish for anything because I don't have a single penny left to throw in."

Amy, now looking the girl up and down, saw that she a tattered clothing, a dirty face, and a boney figure that showed she hadn't eaten a proper meal in quiet a while.

"What do you mean?" Amy said, even though she knew the girl was poor, well at least she appeared that way.

"I mean I have no money..." she girl said sounding very annoyed with the question.

"Have you eaten anything yet today?" Amy said her cheeks turning red again.

"I had a little bread this morning, but that's it" she said playing with the loose strings of her dirty, worn cloth dress.

Amy felt very sorry for the girl. Amy had never gone hungry, and had gotten almost anything her heart desired in her childhood.

"Where are your parents?" Amy asked concerned now.

"Don't know" the girl's voice cracked. Amy was afraid she was going to cry.

"Do you know where any of your family is?" Amy said pushing the question further.

"No" the girl said pushing a few strands of mangled silver hair behind her ear.

"Well I'll take you out for lunch!!" Amy beamed even though she felt terribly sorry for the girl.

"Are you sure, you don't have to." The girl said with a little hesitance.

"I'm positive!" Amy said taking the girls hand and helping her off the edge. "My names Amy by the way." She said with a half grin.

"My names Crystal." The girl said "Crystal Morn"
