Lily
was a very bright but, yet very mischief little fairy. She lived in the
Red Forest outside of Care View Valley. She loved her home; it was
nestled back in the forest by a little stream. Lily always loved going
to the stream to skip along the river stones and splash about. After
playing in the stream, she would climb atop a mushroom growing on a
fallen tree next to the stream, and look into the water as it flowed
pass her. The sun would peak through the leaves of the maple trees. The
rays would shine down on Lily's red hair; causing it to glow. Oh, how
she loved to come and sit atop the mushrooms. Lily could set there for
days, but what kind of adventure would that be?
Lily always knew
better then to go where Humans could see her. But, as I said before...
Lily is very mischievous. Lily would fly through the forest; pass the
maples where she played. Pass the birch, pines, and willows. She
followed the stream through the forest to where it ended in a nearby
lake. Oh, what fun she had, and intrusting things she saw at this lake.
As
Lily got closer to the lake she started to slow her speed; as not to
get caught. She hides in the cat-tails to get a better look around, oh,
the sites and sounds. She loved coming here to see the sun glisten upon
the still lake. The bugs skipping across the water and the fish jumping
up to catch them. The sounds of the blue jay singing his songs in an old
birch tree just by the water side. There was a rope tied to a branch on
the tree for the towns folk to swing from. If they didn't feel like
swinging they could jump in off the peer that led into the lake. What
better place to come to, then here Lily thought?
While Lily was
taking in the views, she saw a red truck pull up. There were three
children on the back shouting and having fun. "Can we go in now, Papa?"
she heard them ask a tall slender man. "Yes" she heard him say to the
three children. They looked to be about the ages of 6, 8, and 10. One
looking to be 6 was a boy with short strait brown hair, like the man
they called Papa. The other was a girl with long brown hair, braided on
both sides like piggy tails; she looked to be about 8. The oldest
looking one was a boy, he had short curly black hair.
All three of
the kids took turns swinging from the rope on the tree. "Yippee... “Lily
heard them shouting, as they each swung over the brown clam water,
letting go of the rope to make a big splash.” What fun that does look
like" Lily would say, just wishing that she could do the same. But, Lily
knew she could never be human. All she could do was dream of what life
would be like.
"Oh, if only I could swing from a rope and fall into
the cool water of the lake, what fun that would be." For Lily knew that
if she would ever try it, she would be eaten just like the bugs skipping
on the lakes surface. Lily knew it was about noon for the sun was high.
The sky was a light blue with only a few clouds to break up the suns
rays on the ground. So Lily ventured off away from the lake to find some
other adventure she could get herself into.
Chapter 2
Lily
flew through the Red Forest to a clearing by some old maple trees. It
seemed as if the forest opened up to reveal a hidden treasure. It was a
meadow, so full of life and wonder. Lily slowed her flying; she could
see all types of woodland creatures now. Lily saw a family of deer
grazing on some grass in the meadow. How cute the little baby deer was
with its little white dots along its tan back. Lily watched as the deer
played with one another. Lily looked up as she heard feathers in motion.
It was a pack of geese passing by over head. Squawk, squawk, she heard
them say, as if they were talking to her.
Lily decided to fly
through the meadow. She figured if she needed to hide, she could find a
hiding place real fast. For the grass in the meadow was quite high; and
anything could hide in it. So, Lily ventured off into the meadow. As she
flew through the tall grass, she could hear the bees buzzing around
her, getting the pollen from the daises. Lily saw all kinds of wonderful
things around her. Like the ladybugs eating the grass. The butterflies
flying from flower to flower, getting the nectar, the caterpillars
spinning their cocoons so that they could transform into beautiful
vibrant butterflies. "This is the most excitement I've ever had" Lily
said as she flew through the tall grass.
Lily noticed the sun
starting to get lower in the sky. She knew that whatever adventure she
was going to have today would have to happen soon. For her mother didn't
like her out after the sun set. So Lily wondered around to see what she
could find in the mist of the meadow. "What beautiful colors and
mixtures of flowers, such sweet scents" Lily said. On the edge of the
meadow by the forests' edge was Jasmine and Honeysuckle; claming up the
trees as though to reach the sky. The scents traveled through the meadow
as though it were its own breeze. The sweet fragrance of blossoming
Jasmine; sweep across Lily as though it was dancing around her. The
creaminess of the Honeysuckle sweep through the breeze as though to be
calling out to Lily.
Lily continued in search of an adventure in
the tall grasses of the meadow. "What is this, why is the grass getting
shorter?" Lily asked herself. As she continued to fly the grass
continued to get shorter. Then Lily heard something. "Jingle, jangle,
click, click, slurp, slurp.” “What is that, making that noise?" Lily
grew scared. She darted into a Wine Cup wildflower next to where she
was. For this was the perfect hiding spot. The red in the flower matched
Lily's red hair, so if she needed to hide she could.
Lily decided
to hide in the wildflower till the noise stopped. She thought it would
only last for a few minutes, but it lasted hours. By the time it was
starting to stop the sun was just about down. Lily had to hurry home,
"I'll be back bright and early tomorrow morning" Lily said. Lily darted
away to get home in time.
Chapter 3
Morning came
faster then usual for Lily. She hurried to get out the door of her
house, which sat in a big maple tree. The door made of leaves and twigs.
"Be careful" her mom said as Lily darted outside "I will!" Lily shouted
back. She was so excited to see what she had to leave last night. "I
hope it's still there", Lily said as she flew through the branches of
the trees in the Red Forrest. Lily finally reached the opening in
between the old maple trees. The sun was just starting to peak over the
horizon. There was a light fog on the ground and musk smell in the air.
Lily
slowed her speed as she had done the day before. Following the same
path that she took before, to find out whatever made that sound. She got
closer then she had the day before. Still feeling as though she needed
cover, Lily darted back and forth from wine cup to wine cup. Getting
closer to the noise each time. Again she heard "jingle, jangle, click,
click", but no slurp, slurp. This time it was "giggle, giggle". What
could cause that sound, Lily thought to her self. Just as she was
thinking that she peeked over a pedal of the wine cup.
There sat a
basket with a little human in it. It looked to be a little girl. She had
rosy red cheeks, curly gold locks, and soft blue eyes. She was covered
with white and yellow blankets. Her dressings were barely showing
through the tops of the blankets. She was wearing a white gown with lace
along the neck and wrist. She was holding something in her little left
hand. It looked homemade. Every time she would shake her hand it would
jingle, jangle. Then she would hit the side of the basket she laid in
with it and it would go click, click. Then the little human would
giggle, giggle.
"What are you doing out here alone?" Lily asked. The
little human just looked at Lily and giggled, with drool coming down
her chin. What do I do with this little human? I can't carry her, she's
too big. Lily thought. "I know! I'll go tell mama and see what she says"
Lily said. So Lily told the little human she'd be back. Lily then set
off for home.
Once Lily reached the maple tree she called home she
ran inside. "Mama!" Lily shouted hurrying through the door. "Yes, my
dear?" her mom asked. "I need your help mama" Lily said. "What with
Lily?" her mom asked. Lily than began to tell her mom about the
adventure she found herself on yesterday and having to continue today.
Then she started to get into the part where she found a little human. “I
need your help with how to save this little human” Lily told her mom.
Lily’s mom didn’t know what to say, she sat down with Lily and began to
talk to her. “Lily, my girl, what do you think we could possible do to
save this human? I mean we are fairies. We’re not very big, and no-one
knows we even exist. Which, we as fairies plan to continue; we do not
want the humans coming into our forest and our home. The last time that
happened we almost lost everything. Lily you have to promise me that you
will stay away from the little human you found.” “Ok mama” Lily said,
“No Lily you have to promise me” her mom said again in a stern tone. “Ok
mama, I promise.” Lily said, with one hand behind her back with her
fingers crossed. “Ok then” her mom said in return.
Chapter 4
After
Lily talked to her mother about the little human, Lily want to go and
find someone else who would help her. “I’m going to go to play with some
friends down by the stream” Lily said to her mother. “Ok, but Lily you
are not to go help the little human. I don’t want you to get into
trouble that you can’t get out of” Lily’s mom said to Lily as she was
heading out the door of their maple tree home. “Ok, mama…” Lily shouted
on the way out. But, Lily couldn’t help herself. She tried to go to the
stream like she had told her mother she was. But, Lily just couldn’t get
that little human out of her head. So Lily thought that if she went
back to where she found the little human; that she could figure
something out to help it. So Lily did just that, she headed back to the
meadow where she found the basket with the little human in it. But this
time, the little human was not alone.
There was a slender female
with blonde hair that was curly, like the little human setting in the
basket. The female had fair skin with rosy red cheeks. Her cheeks stood
out like pink roses on her face. Her eyes were as blue as the sky
itself. Lily was in such aw of what the female looked like, that she
forgot to hide as she did before. As soon as the thought of hiding came
to Lily’s mind it was too late. The female had already seen her, and was
stunned by what she saw. The female had heard stories of fairies from
the town folk where she grew up. But, she had never seen one before, for
herself. She was so shocked she just stood still as a rock. Then a
thought crossed the female’s mind. “I know how I can make people believe
me that fairies exist. I’ll take this little fair and show her to
everyone. This is the best thing I could have ever found.”
