In Search of the Truth (complete)

Chapter 19

Hello my name is Jane River. I like to joke I was raised by my fairy godparents, Blade and Tiana. Plus, I have four siblings: Grayson, Dillion, Tiana and Celeste. When I got here she used her fairy magic that could make me small like them or I could invoke my fairy wings when needed. I loved to do gardening and play in the water. My family taught me how to grow many things. 

My first memory I have is when I was 5 and went to school with my two older brothers. Mom called out, "Jane time to get up and get dressed. I pulled out my pink dress. I put on my socks and white tennis shoes. Then went downstairs and ate breakfast. "Now remember Jane at school you do not talk about fairies. Humans know nothing about us. Your dad is taking you and your brothers to school. Then after school your brothers will bring you home." She brushed my hair. She kissed us all goodbye and we walked outside. We walked over to the transporter mushroom where other fairies were. We stepped on it and ended up in a human three bedroom apartment where we were all human size. Then we walked out the door and dad walked us to school.

My brothers ran on ahead to their classes to see which of their friends would be in their class. I walked in with my dad and gripped his hand hard. We walked in and I saw several people. I knew some were human, fairy, werewolf, and witches. I went behind daddy's legs and looked toward the front were a woman was introducing herself. "Hello, my name is Mrs. Borman. I am your Kindergarten through Fifth grade teacher. Mom and Dad's I have written each child a cubby and desk. Yes u are welcome to show them their cubby and desk. Their backpack and jackets, if they have one can go placed in their cubby. Then you can show them their desk. After that it will be time to say goodbye. We will start our first day of Kindergarten."

A boy walked up to me, "hi, I am Tylen. My mom and I followed you to school today. I live on the 7th floor. Which one do you live on?"

I replied, "I live on the 8th floor. My name is Jane."

A girl skipped over, "I saw you poof from the mushroom."

Both Tylen and I looked at her. "Shhhh"

Her eyes got big, "I forgot. I live on the 7th floor too. My names Breena."

From that day on the three of us were best friends. When school got out my brothers took me back to our apartment. We also walked Tylen and Breena. Our parents got together since dad left for work he would walk all of us to school. Then Tylen and Breena's mom walked us back. Mom stayed home with our baby sister.

When we walked back we were met everyday by Jon. He would only let people who lived in the building in. When we would catch an injured animal we always brought it to Jon. He was teaching us how to care for them. Though he did not like it when I brought to wolf pups home. He said they were rogue pups, but we nursed and took care of them.

On Monday and Thursday after school we would get a snack and then met with Flodium. He was teaching us combat self-defense.  I learned how to throw him by the time I was 10.  I was stronger that a lot of the fairies my age. Then Tuesday and Friday we met with Leona who taught us fairy magic. It was then I started talking with my reflection. Her name was Jean. Though by the time I was 8 I had stopped telling friends and family about it. They would tease me about her. Then on Friday Glenora taught us about flying. Which I wasn't very good at. What others knew by age 6 I did not master until about age 7, but I never gave up. When I hit age 12 it was like I surpassed them in flying. Mom said I must of just been a late bloomer.

When I turned thirteen I thought I was all grown up. Tylen, Aliya, Breena and I packed up a bag. "Mom, I am heading over to Breena after flight class tonight. Dad said it was ok for me to go camping this weekend with her."

Mom, "you have fun. When will you be home?"

"Monday's a holiday. We won't be back until late afternoon."

She gave me a kiss. "You have fun and be safe. You bringing your bag with you?"

"Yes, dropping it off at her apartment before school." Then I walked out the door with my two older brothers, two younger sisters and dad.

Dad looked at my suitcase in my hand. "You running away?"

I laughed and said, "I am going camping with Breena this weekend. Mom said it was ok. I am dropping this off at her house before school."

"Have fun." Then he walked my younger sisters to the elementary school. My older brothers walked to the high school. I always walked with Tylen, Aliya and Breena to the middle school. When I got to Breena the others were already there. I looked at Breena, "your idea worked. Mom and dad both think the other gave permission to spend the weekend with you."

Breena laughed, "it worked for them also. Right after school we will all grab our stuff we will head to the mountain lake cabin. I got all the food items we need."

We were set for a weekend of fun with just my friends and no parents.
