Chapter 2 - The road to the past

She had been driving for almost three hours when she decided to take some rest and parked her car on a parking lot outside a supermarket, in some town she didn't knew the name of. She looked the car from inside then she fell asleep almost immediately.

She had weird dreams about a smiling cat, the Queen of hearts, a man, fairies and horses. When she woke up she couldn't put it all together. It was all her memories coming back to her in strange ways. She could feel her headache return, she growled and sat up and took out some aspirin from her bag and the bottle of water laying on the seat next to her, to ease the headache. As she let the painkillers to take in she started to think. Everything was so weird. She had been just a baby when she got to this land by the curse, it didn't make sense, why would she end up a baby when she was almost sixteen when the Queen cast the curse. And she knew that the rest of the people that got cursed they wouldn't age, they would be frozen. But she wasn't, why?

She decided to hit the road again. But she didn't even know where she would go and look for the others. So she took out her computer and logged in. While inside she put up a map over USA, she started to look through it when the arrow started to move by itself and went over the map until it stopped over a giant forest, about maybe four hours outside of Boston.

"Whoa!" She said out load. Does my magic work here? There is no magic in this world, and it would probably not be in the place where the Queen cursed them all to.

After ten minutes just staring at the place where the arrow pointed at, she decided to take a chance. She started the car and took off.

After about three more hours she stopped to take a break and to get some food. Inside the supermarket looking through the shelves with all kinds of sandwiches she felt some of her memories started to make sense, and she was now smiles because she was remembering the first time she met James.

One morning she had decided to woke up before sunset. She wanted to go look for a village, look for people, She had become really lonely over the month living all alone. As she begun her walk through the forest she heard something coming closer. After a minute a horse reappeared between some trees running right at her. It was the most amazing animal she had ever seen. Proud and beautiful. It made a halt right in front of her.

"Run away form your rider have you?" She says to the horse and smiles as she walks closer. She had never seen a horse before, never get alone handle one. But he horse seemed to knew her.

She held up her hand to touch him an he bowed his head lower so she could stroke her hand on his muzzle. He was so soft, so beautiful. All brown, exept between his eyes, where he had a white spot.

"I see you found my horse." Someone says a few steps behind her. She jumps and turn around.

"So you're the rider who can't keep track on your own horse?" she says with a smirk.

"Yes. I don't know what got into him, he usually never runs off like that. I guess he scened something and wanted to find out what it was." He says looking at her curiously.

"Maybe it was my irresistible scent." She says and smiling in triumphed.

"Maybe. I'm James and this, this is Starlit." James says as he walks towards he horse to stroke him on his neck. "He's from the Queen's palace. He had run away when I found him in the woods and I brought him back to the Queen. And can you believe it? She actually let me keep him, I was really surprised that the Queen could be so generous."

Starlit, it feels like the name should have a meaning to me, she thought.

"No, I don't really know. I've just heard rumours about the Queen in Neverland, where I grew up. But I have never met her. I've just been her for a month or so. I'm Rosalie, but you can call me Rose." She answers with a shy smile.

"Oh, you grew up in Neverland? I spent a few years there to!."

"Really? Well we couldn't have met anyway. I lived in Pixie Hollow as a fairy."

James stares at me for a second, a bit surprised. "A fairy huh? Then you must have been a real beauty huh? Not that you're that now, I just.." He stammered.

She laughs. "Thank you, and I understood what you meant." She smile at him and he smiles back.

"Ever been on a horse before? What am I saying? course you have, you're a natural with Starlit!"

"Actually no. I have never even seen a horse in real life, just on pictures."

"Then you're in for a treat." He smiles and fixing the saddle to make sure it's in the right place. Then he holds out his hand for her to take it. "Come on." He smiles.

She looks uncertain at him and then she decided to take his hand. She smiles as he helps her up, not that he really needs to, she realise that she actually can do it herself.

"Never even seen a horse before and are this natural." He muttered. he jumps up behind her and then they take of.

After that day, they spent all time together as he helped her looking for her parents.

After two hours she arrived in Boston. She had been driving 440 miles, she saw on the vehicle's dashboard, she had never driven this long before. She felt how her eyes had started to become heavy again so she stopped at a hotel in the middle of Boston, checked in and fell asleep as soon she landed on the Queen sized bed.

When she woke up all her memories had been sorted out while she had been asleep. And now there wasn't any questions, exept of of course her own little curse, the curse that took away her memories as a four year old. That piece of the puzzle was still missing.

Over breakfast she started to think back on her life. She thought of the day she first met Blue, her mother and guide through life. The first memory she had that she could remember.

She remembered seeing a blue star in the sky, shining brighter than any other star in the sky. She didn't know what it meant, or that it was the star you made your wishes to if your intensions where true. But she made a wish mostly because it felt right.

"I wish… I wish to know who I am, who are my parents, my family? Why doesn't I remember?" Then as she looked up at the Blue star and it looked like it was coming closer. She rubbed her eyes and then looked up again, and when she did the star was gone and before her was a fairy all in blue.

"You… You're a fairy?"

"Yes, little one. And I'm here because I heard your wish." The Blue Fairy told her.

"So you can help me? You know who my family is?" She asked desperately.

"No, I'm really sorry but I can't help you with that. The person who took your memories away made sure that not anyone could break that curse."

She looked down, sadness in her face. "Don't despair, young one. I can help you, maybe not in the way you wished but I can if you'd let me."

"How?" She looked up with a skeptical look.

"I can give you a new family, you don't have to be alone. I can make you a fairy, just like me. I can take you to our home, there you can be one of us. And when you get older you can leave if you want, to look for your family. Because you can choose to have your wings whenever you want but also take them away if that's what you want." The Blue Fairy explained.

She smiled. "I would love to be a fairy. Thank you for helping me, I don't want to be alone."

"In this place you never have to feel alone. Now if you close your eyes." As she did she could feel magic flow through her veins. And when she opened her eyes again she had got wings and was flying above the ground. She smiled wide at the Blue Fairy.

"Thank you."

"You can call me Blue, what is your name young one?"

"I'm Rosalie." She said.

"Okay then, we should call you Rose then, much easier. I'm going to take care of you." The Blue Fairy smiled back at her. "Follow me, I will take you to your new home."

Rosalie smiled at the memory, Blue had always been there for her, making her happy or just shoving up to lecturing her for some bad thing's she'd done in Pixie Hollow.

When she had finished her breakfast she thought she would get on the road again. Because if she was right she would have around four hour until she reached her destination.
