Reuniting A Broken Family With Magic

Izz sighed later that evening as Elissa and Dreamaz visited them.

They wondered what was bothering him and Chrisa but had a feeling it was to do with trying to change the Magical Council's minds but had a feeling they didn't agree as Izz was unhappy.

"They wouldn't speed up her punishment but said they would see.

It upsets me and Chrisa that we can't be with Nena especially today when it's her thirteenth birthday but you can give her our present right?" Izz answered as Dreamaz nodded.

He knew how much Izz cared about Nena but was taking good care of her for him and Chrisa until the girl could return to them but hoped she could somehow.

Chrisa was making coffee for them while they were waiting for pizza to arrive.

Dreamaz hoped Nena was okay on her own.


Nena saw the strange creature wake up but was amazed as she felt it's grey fur which was very soft.

She retracted her hand seeing it's snail like eyes open.

"It's okay to touch me.

I won't hurt you." it told her as she was in awe.

"I can tell you won't.

I'm Nena but who're you and what are you?

I've never seen anything like you before in my life." she answered as the creature chuckled.

"My name is Bronx.

I'm a Psammead or in layman's terms a sand fairy." he answered as she was in awe.

"You're a fairy?

Do you have magic?" she asked getting more curious by the second.

Bronx laughed at her.

"I am a fairy but unlike any you have seen or heard of.

Yes I have magic.

Psammeads can grant wishes, real ones and they come true.

But they only last until sunset and go wrong.

But......." Bronx told her.

"But what Bronx?" she asked him.

"I've never met a human like you who seems into this without being afraid or using me for your own selfish intentions like others of your kind but you seem different to them. You see humans don't really care about us but only for our magic and when we give up our magic or it fades, they get angry and destroy us." he told her.

"How could a human destroy you?" Nena asked him.

"Psammeads hate water.

If we come into contact with it, we catch cold and die." he explained to her.

"That's awful Bronx!

Besides I don't need any wishes granted because my only wish came true." Nena said.

"Really?

What was it?" Bronx asked curiously.

"To have a friend who would like me as I am but it came true when I found you Bronx.

But I hope my Aunt Elissa doesn't find you because she wouldn't understand and get rid of you but I can't let that happen to you.

You're my only friend after all." she answered hearing the doorbell ring.

"I'll be right back.

It's probably the Chinese is here!" she said going downstairs as Bronx followed her secretly.

Her words echoed in his head as he smiled.......


The Magical Council had seen how Bronx was reacting to the human world but were worried about him staying with Nena.

They knew that falling in love with a human was what had made Izz an outlaw in Psammeadis but the leader of the Council thought this could be a good thing but the other members weren't sure but had a feeling this friendship would bring trouble.

But they would have to wait and see..........


Bronx was nervous as he saw Nena asleep lying on the couch in the front room.

He knew that she was one of them but had been banished from ever becoming her Psammead self and couldn't be with her parents because of ut but it made the young male Psammead angry but had been asked to watch her by the Council but he felt sorry for her because he knew how it felt to not be with your family.

His parents had caught cold and died a month ago and had been alone in Psammeadis but became a ward of the Magical Council and hated it but just wanted to be free of magic so he wouldn't meet the same fate as his parents as he stroked her hair but froze hearing the front door open as Elissa came in followed by Dreamaz but surprised seeing them become their Psammead forms but understood as he hid under a cushion but Dreamaz smiled seeing Nena asleep.

"Let's not wake her up.

We can't risk her seeing us as we truly are.

We don't want the Council mad at us too." he whispered as they went upstairs.

Bronx was in awe at that as he came out from under his hiding place.

"So the rumours are true that the whole Nassicus family are Psammeads.

But I hope the spell on Nena will be broken." he thought as he went upstairs.........
