Chapter 5 Fairies and Flashbacks
We were able to find the fairies easily, it was something you were able to do when you're one of us. We found the fairies in a clearing in the middle of the forest, they were chanting spells and sending magic into the air. They had wide cute smiles but I knew better than to trust their looks. They looked small, cute, and harmless but they could seem like the devil if you got them angry.
We hid in the trees surrounding the clearing. Rachel was starting to build a box out of trees. How is a box made of wood supposed to help us? Alexa mentally asked. They can easily use their magic to escape. Jasmin and Bella will put their shields around it so they won't be able to get out. Rachel responded Oh.
Alissa would turn invisible and try to put all seven fairies into the box. Jasmin and I would shield the box. Alexa would make sure we wouldn't be heard by the fairies, and Lola and Rachel would be hiding in the trees in case Alissa needs help.
Alissa turned invisible and walked out into the clearing and we put the shields around the box. Suddenly three fairies were being held by Alissa although they didn't see her. Alissa grabbed 2 more and stuffed the 5 into the box. The other 2 knew what was happening and became very angry, this was when they were most dangerous. Rachel and Lola jumped out of the trees and went after the 2 fairies. I was hard to watch to cute creatures look so devilish. It took some work but they managed to get them into the box and made sure it was securely closed.
We took them to their village, you wouldn't know it if you were walking in the forest but we knew this area. The fairies always hide when we're here but we knew they were still here. "These fairies almost exposed themselves to humans, we'd appreciate if you could keep a close eye on them" Alexa said. We knew we wouldn't have to worry because fairy rules are very strict.
We walked back home in silence but I was OK with that, I was remembering the day I first learned how to use my shield.
Flashback:
Jasmin was in the backyard with me. "Imagine your shield as a rubber-band" she told me
"Concentrate on stretching it out and putting it around me" I focused on my shield only my shield, I concentrated on stretching it out and pulling it around Jasmin. Wow. I looked at her but she hadn't said anything. Oh My God I read her mind. Can you hear me? I mentally asked her. She looked at me yes she responded. Wow.
End Flashback
That was the day I discovered just how amazing my power could be. I mastered my power when I turned 19 so I became immortal.
Flashback:
The fairies were helping me train because we had no mental attacks on our team. They were chanting spells and I had to try to stretch my shield so they wouldn't have any affect on my sisters who were at different places in the forest.
I concentrated on pulling it out as far as it would go, I felt it being pushed farther and farther away from me. It was hard but I was going to do it. I kept telling myself that over and over. I felt power and it went farther away from me. It was becoming less difficult, almost simple.
I barely had to put any more effort in as I pushed it farther and farther away, by now I had covered almost all the forest and I was going to make it bigger. I pulled my shield out as far as it could go and then, I was surrounded by light.
I looked down to see my hands glowing, my arms started glowing as well. The light surrounded my body. I felt energy and power as I continued pulling out the shield. The light was almost blinding now. I knew from Jasmin's stories what was happening. I was becoming immortal, it was a dream I had but I never imagined it would actually come true.
My sisters came running through the trees, encouraging me to continue. I pulled my shield out so far I couldn't even tell how big it was, and then, the light stopped and I was surrounded by hugs. No one needed to tell me. I knew that I was immortal.
End Flashback
That was the day I was officially welcomed into their family. It was a day I would never forget. I had worked hard to prove to myself that I wasn't weak. When I was with Edward I always knew I was nothing compared to him, that was the day I proved I was just as great as him.
We were home now but it was almost 2:00 in the morning. "We'll have to call in sick" Lola commented "Alissa are you ready?" Alissa was able to change her voice so we could call the school. She got out her cell phone and began to dial the phone number to the school "Hi my daughters had a bad dinner last night and got a bit of food poisoning, they should be back in about 2 days thanks, bye" Alissa was a genius.
"I thought we'd only need one day to rest" Lola said very confused "yeah but if we're going to miss school we might as well take another day to make it more realistic plus, this is much more fun." Alissa responded. As I said before, genius. We walked into our rooms and before even putting on Pajama's we fell asleep.

Also: if you have any ideas for the story I would love to hear them
