My world of MYSTICAL creatures

Chapter 2 - Strange

"Mum!" I shouted down the stairs "MUM!"

"What do you need now?"

"My pencil case, I can't find it,"

"It's down here,now HURRY UP!"

See? She's always annoyed with me, no matter what I do. Why is it that everything I do or say, she shouts at me. I could even just glance at her or say ' Can I have a drink please? ' she'll say either 'No' or 'Get it yourself'. I wish she would just leave me be. Ugh.

"Ok Mum, I'm off now,"

"Ok see you later then,"

I walked off to my new environment. I know it's not really common to say but, here we usually walk through the woods. This was different. This was, I don't know, some place with irregular structures. You might know what they are but, to me they look like ginormous houses with no circular roofing made from twigs. Its much hotter here too. I think I'd gone the wrong way.

Everything started to go blurry. I could barely see. What was happening? I dropped my satchel. The heat was getting to me. I sat down on the ground and waited for my conscience to come back.

"Your OK" I told myself, "Its just the heat, just head back and get yourself to the snow"

I picked myself up, and headed back, but I only made it two steps before I saw something I'd never seen in my life.

A fairy.

How could this be? She was grey colored with tints of black and dark, brown hair. She'd a night black ribbon in her hair and wings that seemed to have had every inch of every colorful color sucked out of it. She looked young, maybe a bit older than me, and looked stiff as grass when its covered in frost. But the one question lingering in my head then was; Why was she HERE? In this eerie, lifeless deserted place? Why?
