Jeff struggled to stand up, but he was having trouble breathing. He felt dizzy and nauseous, and there was a strange ringing in his ears. In addition he was having trouble seeing what was in front of him and all his muscles felt sore and inflamed. He tried calling for help but he was unable to speak. Through his haze he was able to make out several blurred figures rushing towards him, yelling incoherent phrases. One blur sprang forward and knelt beside him. He briefly felt something prick his neck, then immediately began to feel better. He breathed deeply as the ringing disappeared and his other symptoms went away. As his vision cleared he was able to see many men and women gathered around him. Some of them were Caucasian, but others appeared to have green skin. As if that wasn't enough of a shock he realized that all of them had giant crystal like wings protruding out of their back.

"What, what the…"

The man who had been beside him stood up rapidly. "It's, it's a human."

The others yelled cried of shock. Some of the men bend their legs, as if readying themselves if he attacked them. Jeff looked around in amazement as they all started talking at once.

"Where did he come from?"

"Is there only one or are more hidden?"

"I thought humans were just make believe."

"Is he here to start war?"

"How did he get here?"

"Are they're more?"

"He's cute."

"He's dangerous!"

"He's here to hunt us!"

"We must bring him to the king and queen!"

Jeff looked franticly at the one standing next to him. Before he could react white light shot out of the creature's hands and wrapped around Jeff's hands, binding his wrists together.

"Ow! What the hell!"

"Quiet human! Luckily for you we don't immediately slaughter creatures that are different then us. Unlike your race we fairies think before we act. Your fate isn't in our hands. It will be our queen and king who'll decide your fate."

With that the man grabbed Jeff by the light band and pulled him through the forest, with the rest of the fairies following.

"Annabelle! Annabelle!"

Annie paused from identifying leaves used for food and leaves used for medicine as Glawar ran towards her. "What is it?"

"You haven't heard?"

"Heard what?"

"A human! They found a human near the capital!"

She stood up, shocked at what she was hearing. "Really? I didn't think humans even lived in this realm."

"Well, one is here now. A group found him and are bringing him to the village square so your parents can pass judgment. I caught a glimpse of him as he was being led. He's a handsome one. He's really tall and muscular. Though he did have a big forehead."

Annie froze in shock, her mind racing over what she just heard. It, it can't be, she thought. It's impossible. Disbelievingly she asked Glawar "Did, did you notice if he also had a pointy nose and hair like he just woke up."

"Um, yea. How did you know that?" Before she got an answer Annie dropped her tools and started running to the square, ignoring Glawar's cries and questions as she ran as fast as she could.

Jeff stood in the town square, with images of Planet of the Apes running through his head. True the creatures that surrounded him weren't nearly as hostel. But the feeling of dread was still upon him. He was surrounded by fairies, some with white skin, others with green skin. He had always imagined fairies to be tiny, no bigger than sparrows. These ones were human size, and aside from the wings and green skin looked very human like.

I'm dreaming, Jeff thought. I passed out in Pierce's bathroom and I'm having a really weird dream. Any minute I'm going to wake up and go back to watching Die Hard. Any second now.

Just then the crowd grew silent and parted as a regal dressed couple stepped forward. The Caucasian man was big, with long brown hair and a very stern expression on his face. While the green skinned woman was petite, and look uncannily familiar.

The man walked forward, stopping just in front of Jeff. "Who are you, and how did you find our kingdom?"

"Wait! Daddy wait! Don't hurt him!"

The crowd parted as a young woman pushed her way through to the front of the crowd. Jeff looked over and gasped when he saw that it was the mystery woman from his visions, but with wings like the other fairies. As soon as he saw her he cried out as his mind was flooded with visions. As they ran through his mind they continually increased in speed until they were almost a blur.

Jeff almost choked as he fell to his knees, gasping as it all came back to him. Who she was, where he knew her from, how he felt about her. He pulled himself up, blocking everything out as he looked in shock at her. "Annie! It's, it's, you're one of them!"

Before she could respond the fairy king grabbed Jeff, looking much more angry then he did a few moments ago. "How do you know her! HOW DO YOU KNOW MY DAUGHTER!"

"FATHER PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!"

Still holding Jeff King Aran angrily turned towards his daughter. "You! You brought him here, didn't you!"

"STOP!" Ilma yelled out. "Release him!"

"I AM THE KING! I HOLD THE RIGHT TO-."

"NOW! WE DO NOT HARM OTHERS WITHOUT CAUSE!"

King Aran reluctantly released Jeff as Queen Ilma stepped forward. "Our daughter does not have the knowledge or the ability to open a dimensional doorway. Clearly this human came here on his own."

"How! It is impossible for humans to find this place. And he knows her. I rewrote history so her existence was erased as soon as she left. How does he know her then?"

Not answering right away Queen Ilma gently placed her hands on Jeff's cheeks, looking deep within his eyes. "You are the one they call Jeff, right? The one who my daughter has fallen for and who has caused her such sorrow by being separated from her."

Jeff nervously nodded his head as Ilma looked intently at him, almost as if she was searching deep within his soul. After several moments she brought her hands down and stepped back. "This one clearly loves Annabelle. But he is conflicted and has buried his love deep within himself. It was buried so deep that your existence wipe was not enough to eradicate his memory of her. It grew and festered within him, combining with the residual magic from the memory alteration until the very thought of her transported him over to our world."

Aran looked at the two of them, shocked at what he was hearing. "I don't believe this." He said softly.

"I've always said love was powerful."

Aran regained his composer as he looked at his wife. "Well, even if that is what happened, he cannot stay here."

"NO! WAIT!" Annie cried out.

"QUIET!"

"Please, please let me go to her." Jeff said.

Aran turned back to his wife as he tried to speak rationally. "A human living here. Such a thing is unheard of. And even if I allowed it he would not survive our atmosphere. The trees of our realm give off too much oxygen for his body to safely absorb. Look, he needs a tree leach just to filter out the excess oxygen from his blood."

"I agree. He cannot stay here."

Aran smiled as his wife agreed with his decision. "Good. Let me wipe his memory and then-."

"No. Trying that just lead to him crossing over here. But keeping his memories of our daughter intact will enable him to remain in his own realm."

Aran gasped at his wife's statement. "We, we can't…if he remembers us…"

"What will happen? If we send him back with his memories no one will believe him if he tells them the truth. And even if someone does it won't matter. He can't cross over again. All it will accomplish will be him wasting his life trying to return. There is no harm in him remembering."

Aran looked into his wife's big blue eyes, realizing that she was speaking the truth. Nodding he stepped in front of Jeff. "I hope you remember this place well lad. Because it is the last time you will ever see it again."

"WAIT!" As Aran raised his glowing hands Annie ran forward and threw herself between the two men, inadvertently causing Jeff to step back several feet. "Wait, please!"

"Get out of the way Annabelle!"

"I'm not leaving him! I love him and I'm going with him!"

"Annie…" Jeff gasped in shock as she gave her father the sternest gaze he'd ever seen.

"Child, you cannot! This is your home! And if you go, you would have no life with him! A fairy and a human cannot live a life together!"

"I know! I don't want to live in the human world as a fairy! Please, make me one of them! Make me human so I can live my life!"

Aran gasped, noticing how everyone was looking on in wonder and apprehension. Trying to save face he yelled out "ABSOLUTLY NOT. I WILL NOT DELUDE YOU INTO ONE OF THOSE CREATURES!"

Without taking her eyes off of her father Annie reached into her dress and pulled out a long knife. Knowing he would stop her she held an arm out and froze Jeff's feet in place as she held the knife against her wings. "Turn me right now father, or else I will cut my wings off!"

Aran held his hands out, his mind racing with fear as he tried to stop her from killing herself. "Put the knife down!"

"Not unless you turn me!"

He gasped as he tried to reason. "I, I won't, please."

"Father." Annie said calmly. "One way or another I am about to leave you. How it happens is entirely up to you."

They continued looking into each other's eyes defiantly, waiting to see who cracked first. After several tense seconds Annie slashed at her wings, cleaving them clean off in one swipe.

"NO!" Both men screamed as Annie fell to the ground. Feeling his legs become free Jeff ran over, but was pushed aside by Aran as the fairy king fell to the ground. The crowd cried and yelled out as he took his daughter in his arms.

"NO! NO! ANNABELLE! ANNABELLE! ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!" Knowing he had only seconds to act Aran laid her on the forest ground and held his hand over her chest. A green light shot out from his hand as her body shook as if she had been hit with a defibrillator. Seeing that she wasn't breathing he hit her again with the green light. "COME BACK TO US! COME BACK TO US!" As he hit her a third time he saw her take a very faint gasp and could feel her heart beat again, even though she was still unconscious. As he pulled his daughter up into his arms everyone looked at her back in amazement. The bleeding stumps that remained of her wings began to slowly move out of her body. They continued to inch out until the roots dropped right out of her body and landed on the floor. As soon as they were out the slits on her back knitted and healed until they were completely gone.

Jeff crawled over and stroked Annie's cheek as he looked at her unconscious face. "Annie. Annie!" He looked over at Aran. "Is she all right?"

"Not yet. But she will be."
