The Fairy Forest: Chapter two

 

Late that night, Crystella couldn’t sleep. She was still thinking about what had happened that afternoon.

Just when something exciting was going to happen in her miserable, boring life…... Hello, what’s that? There was a subtle but definite knocking sound that was coming from her bedroom window.

Crystella stood up to investigate, but the knocking stopped abruptly. She opened the window and glanced outside quickly, but she saw nothing

“Hmm...” thought Crystella leaving the window open to let in some fresh air. “it must’ve been my imagination”

she climbed back into her fluffy feather bed, not seeing a small speck of light flitting through the opened window.

The speck of light drifted down to Crystella’s bed, where Crystella was already sound asleep. The speck prodded Crystella’s cheek to wake her up.

“Oh bother” thought Crystella, Not opening her eyes. “What is it now?”

The speck prodded again.

“Alright, alright, I’M UP!” she muttered. She looked down and saw the very same fairy she had seen this afternoon!

“I must be dreaming” mumbled Crystella disbelievingly. “There is a fairy in my room. The very same one I saw this afternoon. I must be going loony”

“You look perfectly sane to me” said the speck, which was actually Pixie the fairy.  “I apologize for frightening you. My name is Pixie by the way. Pixie the fairy.”

After introducing herself to Crystella, Pixie said “You know, I quite like you”

Crystella blushed hard at this. “So, I would like to take you somewhere special”

“Really?” said Crystella eagerly. “Where?”

“My home,” said Pixie.

“I would love to go!” said Crystella. “But how will we get there? It’s 12:35 in the evening!”

“By magic” said Pixie calmly.
