Alfea - A Rare Magic (ARM)

Packing

~After Miss Dowling found Liora sleeping in the warehouse, because she accidentally set their house on fire, she has offered her a place at Alfea. However, at first she has to get ready for her adventure...~

"I need a bigger suitcase", Liora shouts through the house. The girl with the black hair and green-blue eyes sighs, how should she get all those things packed? And why didn't she tell Miss Dowling about her handicap? Sure, she was so overwhelmed by the opportunity and so used of her disability that she simply forgot to mention it! However, she could have told her in one of the phone-calls... On the other hand it is quite a delicate matter, and she just met that woman! Liora is not like her peers, and that's not just because she is going to attend Alfea the school for fairies in the other-world, but also due to her birth-defect called Anorectal Malformation, short ARM. Meaning she was literally born without an asshole and doctors had to artificially create an opening. However, naturally this doesn't fix everything and so in order to live a normal life, or as normal as possible, Liora has to do enemas regularly to be social continent. That is what you call it if someone would be incontinent, but through adequate medical management manages to be continent after all. Now she's trying to get all her medical equipment together with all the other necessary stuff into her suitcase, which is way too small for everything! Luckily, just then her mother brings in a second one. "Don't you think it's better having your medical equipment and your clothes in separate cases?", her mum suggests and immediately starts to un- and then re-packing everything. "How long until the holidays did you say? 4 months? Make sure you have enough of everything with you or we must find a way to get your things send to your school in Ireland. And didn't you forget your medical-history? You know how important it is to have your medical-history with you if you need to go to the hospital." Liora rolls her eyes:"Yes, Yes and Yes, mum. Look for yourself, but I'm pretty sure I got everything with me!" Whilst she appreciats her mum's concerns she is slightly irritated about her tutelage; it's not like she isn't already 16 years old and capable of caring for herself as she has proven on school field trips. Her parents believe she is going off to an international boarding school in Ireland, who offered her a sholarship after she secretly applied for it. They were so happy when she told them about it, but especially her mum is slightly nervous about it, too. However, it's not like they could hold their daughter back for ever. After all they say "Give your child roots to grow and wings to fly"... And wings to fly, Liora intends to get away from home in a different world.
