Sorry this took so long... I told my very best friend that she could write the 3rd chapter of The Story of Adalina... she is very creative... but it takes her a lil bit to think of sumthing 2 write about, and it took her a while to send it to me so that all of you can read it! Well... lets get to the story now...

I walked quietly out to the parkng lot. Mike's grandmother was fine. She wasn't going to die. I laughed. I never really like to think about death. Yet the whole world revovled around it.

Just as I thought luck was turning for the better, it started to rain. And of COURSE I had chosen today to walk home instead of getting a ride from Ad. Yup, cause 'I only live a few blocks away. I'll be fine!' was what got me into this mess. I sighed untill my knight and shining armor beeped.

"Caught in the rain?" Tam chuckled. I laughed too. We were pretty decent friends. And no, I didn't have a crush on him. Even though he was kind of cute. "Want a ride?"

I nodded and hopped my wet butt into the front seat of his car.

We drove in silence, save for the directions I was giving him to my house. Then again, for odd reasons he seemed to know the way. And I knew that he wanted to talk about something because he ket looking over at me. It angered me.

I heard something rattle. I looked at the floor to see the small prism in my bag shaking uncontrollably. I raised an eyebrow. Weirddd...

"This is it, right?" We were stopped in front of my house. I nodded, collecting myself up.

"Yeah, than..." When I got up I noticed the wet mess I had made. I sighed. "I'm sorry let me help..." I went to grab the towel I had in my bag, but ended up cutting my finger on some paper. I pulled my finger away and sucked on it. It tasted...sweet. When I pulled back, there was some white stuff...

And last I checked, blood was red and tasted salty.

Tam noticed and his expression grew serious. "I should explain some things... "He murmered. "Please get back in the car." I nodded slowly.

I literaly laughed. Their explaination was so far fetched; yet somehow made sense. "Ok, let me get this straight. You think that I'm a faery from... Avalon? And that I was sent here when I was little because of a gate..." I got a nod from Laurel and Tam. David honestly didn't do much.

"And you would know this how?" I asked.

"Because..." Laurel hesitated. " We're faeries too. Well, not David..." My eye twitched. Was it April Fools day? Wait no, it was September... Early Halloween prank? Maybe...Or perhaps... No, couldn't be.

"Ummmmmm no." I said. I got up to leave. "You two are not faeries. And besides, theres something wrong with your story. I don't have faery parents. I'm not adopted."

I was stopped by Laurel. "I'll prove it. That I'm a faery." I raised an eyebrow. She did something and reached under her tank top. Then a petal fell to the floor and several others sprung up. They looked like...wings. I froze.

David looked at her with much admiration. Tam seemed to smile a bit. I just stood there. "Ummmmm, what the heck is that?" I asked while pointing at the thing on her back.

"It's my blossom. You should be getting one too. Do you have a bump on your back?" She responded. I shook my head. Tam seemed interested now.

"Thats weird...Usually they don't pick Spring or Summer faeries for gate missions. And a winter Faery is too valueable to let go. Hmmmm..."

I slowly backed up. "Yeah, this proves nothing. I'll admit that the white sappy stuff was weird, but it doesn't prove anything. I'll just go check it out at the hospital. See ya around..." I rushed out of the house. It was way too weird. Everything was. Maybe if I talked it over with Ad...

THERE!
