I blinked my eyes as they adjusted from the bright light. I looked around and saw a fire in a fireplace still going from where I was before. There was a wooden table in the middle of the floor with four wooden chairs around the table. There was also a couch underneath a window next to the wooden door. I also saw paintings of trees hung on the walls. I then heard Adelina say,
"Hi sweaty. My name is Adelina but I guess you also call me mom."
I turned towards her voice and finally saw what my new family looked like. My dad looked around the age ten and was pretty tall. He looks pretty young but fairies don't live for a very long time so I bet this is normal for them to have a kid this young. He has short red hair and red eyes. He also has red wings too! It's going to be weird seeing everyone with wings all the time! My mom looked to also be around the age ten also and was a little shorter than my dad. She has long blond hair with golden eyes and yellow wings.
Dad then said,
"She's very curious isn't she?"
Mom then said,
"She did just hatch, of course she would be curious!"
"That's true. What do you want to be your name, little one?"
"She just hatched there is no way she will be able to talk right away!"
I then said,
"Actually I can. I want my name to be Flameheart!"
My new parents mouths fell open in surprise and I continued to say,
"Why are you so surprised that I can talk? You did just ask me a question Dad...."
Dad then yelled,
"I WAS JOKING....I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD ACTUALLY TALK RIGHT AWAY!!!"
Mom then yelled,
"NOT EVEN A DAY YEAR OLD FAIRY CAN TALK IN COMPLETE SENTENCES!!!!"
I then said,
"Can you calm down....I feel like freaking out won't do you any good. Also I'm not a fairy so I'm different from everyone else!"
"THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE FAIRY WINGS!?"
"No idea. Can you both take deep breaths? I feel like I'm going to lose my hearing from all the yelling!"
I saw them take deep breaths and my mom said,
"Okay sorry about that. It just surprised me that you can talk so well for someone who just hatched!"
"Understandable. To be honest I would act the same way if I were in your shoes! I have a question though...."
Dad then said,
"What is it?"
"Is the war still going between the vampires and werewolves?"
"How the heck do you know about that?!"
"Just please answer!"
My parents looked at each other in confusion and my mom then said,
"Yes the war is still going on...."
"Do you know if there are any survivors when the werewolves surprised attacked the vampires when the war first started?"
My parents looked sad and my dad said,
"Unfortunately no....the vampire village we used to keep in contact with were the first to get attacked and there were no survivors in that village. Any other villages that were attacked by the werewolves all got hunted down and easily killed!"
WHY?! THEY DID NOTHING WRONG!!! EVERYONE WAS SO NICE TO ME EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T A VAMPIRE! WHY WERE THEY KILLED?! JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE VAMPIRES?! WHY COULDN'T EVERYONE GET ALONG?! I felt myself starting to cry and I heard my mom say,
"What's wrong?! Why are you crying?!"
I pulled my knees to my chest and cried even harder. I don't feel like talking to them right now...let me mourn in peace...
Dad then said,
"Hey! What's wrong?! Are you okay?"
Mom then said,
"Does it look like she's okay?! I'll stay with her and you get the elder maybe he knows what to do! I don't know why she's crying but I think it has something to do with the war...."
"Okay I'll hurry! I don't like seeing our daughter like this!"
I heard my mom walk over to me and she bent down and hugged me. It's nice that they already care about me when they barely even know me. I feel so empty inside though...I can't get myself to move or talk.
A few minutes later.....
I heard the door open and close. I heard my dad say,
"I'm back!"
I then heard a voice I didn't recognize say,
"So what is the hurry? What's wrong?"
"Well we wanted it to be a surprise and to show you our daughter but then she asked about the war and when she heard the answer she curled up and broke down crying. We didn't know what to do so we asked you!"
"Wait....you didn't ask for a couple days off until late afternoon yesterday so how did she speak when she just hatched?!"
"Well ummmm...."
I heard the elder sigh and say,
"Let me guess you know why but you wanted to ask your daughter before you tell me."
My dad chuckled nervously and said,
"Yep pretty much!"
"Did you let her name herself or did you name her?"
"Well I asked her what she wanted her name to be as a joke but then she surprisingly answered that her name is Flameheart!"
I heard the elder pause and say,
"Oh....now everything makes sense. She's not a fairy isn't she?"
Huh?! How the heck does he guess that by my name?!
My mom then said,
"How the heck did you guess that by just a name?!"
Just like what I was thinking!
"Well it's not just the name that gave that away, fairies can't talk right after they just hatch..."
"Ah that's true. But how does not being a fairy do anything about why she's so sad?!"
"Well it's actually the name that gave that away. You see her parents told me to take care of her if we found her next or try to find her at least to give her the letter they wanted to give her..."
"But I'm confused, we never gave her a letter!"
"Oh I'm not talking about you I'm talking about her old parents before you!"
I then uncurled myself and looked towards the elder and I said in a rough voice from all the crying,
"WHAT?!"
