The Fairy Forest: Chapter one

 

The Fairy Forest

 

Somewhere in the world, in a small boring town, a girl named Crystella with cascading brown curls and jade green eyes was picking flowers in the garden. Suddenly, a pair of wings appeared.

They were unlike any wings she had seen before; they were silver and glittered in the sunlight.

“It must be a butterfly” thought Crystella, “But what a peculiar butterfly it must be!”.

Crystella stood up and followed the pair of wings. When she was close enough, she clasped her hands around it, careful not to damage the wings or the thing of which the wings belonged. The wings felt so soft it felt like silk. When she opened her clasped hands, instead of a butterfly, she saw a fairy.

The fairy had hair as golden as the sun and eyes bluer than forget-me-nots. She was wearing a dress made of bluebells and, though Crystella did not know it, her name was Pixie.

Crystella was so shocked she couldn’t move for a few seconds. In that space of time, Pixie zipped out of Crystella’s hand as fast as a bullet.  

“Wait!” said Crystella, trying to catch Pixie again “I just want to be-“

But it was too late, Pixie had vanished in a whoosh of sparkles.

“Friends” finished Crystella gloomily. She sighed and said “Just as something exciting was going to happen in this boring town”

Meanwhile, in a different world entirely, Pixie was talking to another fairy.

“Did you really get caught by a human again Pixie?” said the other fairy sounding half amused and half exasperated.

“Yes?” said Pixie guiltily.

The other fairy sighed and said “Well, bring her here then. She might be the one”

Pixie nodded.
