This is not the next chapter but it is a little insight into my character. I don't plan to continue this story if I can't even get one review so help me out! Good and bad criticism is always welcome!
"Jadyn dear come here, quick!" The young boy of fairy awoke from his dreams to his mother's hushed whisper. "Come Jadyn! Hurry before they get inside."
"Mother why are you whispering?" He slowly rose from the bed rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Today had been his thirteenth birthday and it had been a long and tiring day indeed. Once he was in a sitting position on the bed his mother began to quickly put on his slippers. Her hands were shaking so badly that she dropped them many times before Jadyn simply took them from her grasp and put them on himself. "What is the big hurry? What's going on mother?"
Jadyn was surprised when his mother pulled him into a crushing hug, kissing the top of his head. He heard her silently sobbing when she pulled away. "There is no time to explain my love. You must get away from here as quickly as you can. Do not use your wings because they will see you. Let your feet carry as fast as they can and do not stop until you reach a safe place. Please tell me you will do this Jadyn." She was speaking so fast that Jadyn was sure that he had missed something.
"Yes mother I will. But please tell me, what is going on? Are you going to come with me?" He was growing frantic as he realized his mother's feet were bare and she was still dressed in her nightgown. She wasn't dressed to go anywhere but looking down at his own pajamas he realized that neither was he.
"One day you will know the truth but it is too much for you now. Just know that I love you and I always will no matter where I am." She leaned down to kiss her baby boy on his head one last time allowing tears to fall into his hair.
"I love you too mother but I'm not going to leave without you. I cannot." Tears were making their way down his cheeks as he clung to his mother's skirt.
She smiled the saddest smile he had ever seen upon her face. It broke his heart into thousands of pieces that he was sure to never be able to pick back up again. There was a scraping and banging sound that started to come from the front door. Jadyn heard deep male voices as they attempted to break through the door. Jadyn's mother swiftly swept her son into another bone-crushing hug before depositing him outside of his own bedroom window.
"Run, Jadyn. Run and don't stop until you are somewhere safe. I love you, my son." With that his mother shut the window and pulled the blinds shut in front of the glass.
Jadyn stood outside of the window peering through the crack in the curtains determined not to go anywhere until his mother could come with him. He watched as not one, not two, but three fairy men entered through the now broken front door. His mother greeted them with a hard, determined face.
"The boy is already gone. Now you have nothing." She laughed a cold hearted cackle that, to Jadyn, only made her seem scary. One of the big, fairy men slapped Jadyn's mother to the ground bringing an immediate halt to her laugh. She pushed her body onto her elbows still smiling to herself while she wiped the blood from her mouth. Jadyn was seething with anger but knew that he would do no good by drawing attention to himself. They may kill her.
"Where did he go?" one of the men asked.
"You really believe that I would tell you?" Jadyn's mother let loose another heartless laugh. Never had he seen his mother so void of emotion. She was still half laying on the floor but when she finished her last question the same man that had slapped her pulled her to a kneeling position by a hair causing Jadyn's mother to cry out. His small fists were balled at his sides as he tried to contain his anger.
Jadyn watched as the man pulled his mother close to his scar riddled face and whispered something in her ear. He watched as his mother's eyes grew so big that he feared they would bug out of her face. While Jadyn studied his mother's face trying to discern what this man had told her that could bring about such fear from her, the fairy man still holding her up by the hair had deftly pulled out a long blade to slice his mother through.
Jadyn gasped and nearly toppled over from the scene. His mother was being murdered in front of his eyes. He watched the man drop her body to the ground as he retrieved his blade and began to wipe it off. "Find the boy and bring him to me alive," he told his other minions as they dragged his mother's body from sight.
"Yes, master," they said in unison.
They left through the front door as if they had never been there. With tears streaming down his face in wide rivulets, Jadyn made for the woods behind his home running as fast as his feet could carry him all the while never looking back.
