THE STORY OF A SCAR

"Great idea Julica, I want your team to work on it"
"Sure ma'am the project will be ready in two weeks"
"Great, you may leave now"
"Thank you Miss Claire"

There she is "Hey Katherine" the best co worker i could ever have.
"Hey Julica"
"Wanna grab some coffee before our meeting?"
"Of course let's go"

They were sitting on their daily spot in Capri Café.

"Julica you have a nice skin and that scar just enhances your beauty even more, where did you get that?"

"Oh this when I was young we used to live far from this town near a forest. I was told that the forest is magical by my friends but we were not allowed to go there. One day I was sitting in my room looking out the window into the forest admiring it's greenery. Those tall trees, green bushes, colourful flowers and fallen brown leaves were alluring me to explore but I resisted because i knew if i went there my mother would get really upset but then I saw a butterfly leaving trails of golden dust behind and I knew I had to follow.

I followed my instincts and jumped out the window (it was on the ground floor) looked to my left and right then back at my room, no one was around. I was debating whether I should go or not my heart was beating so fast it could've broken my rib cage. I knew I had to hurry, the butterfly was going deeper into the woods and the golden dust was vanishing behind her.

I ran into the woods behind the butterfly, it flew even faster. I knew I have to come back real quick because if my mother saw me missing she would be worried sick. I ran and ran i didn't knew how much time has flew by but I was determined to know where the butterfly was going.

I got tired but the butterfly was still flying, my legs were trembling from the fatigue my brown skin was glistening from sweat the sunrays coming through the leaves was making the conditions even worse. That's when I realised it was a bad idea, I was stuck in the midst of a forest with no way out, I had to follow the butterfly that was my only hope. So I kept running and running.

I was tired, so tired. I can't run anymore the butterfly was fading.. no not only the butterfly but everything all the trees , leaves and bushes everything was fading. My head's spinning. I feel dizzy. I wanted water but I fainted.

When I opened my eyes my head was hurting a lot. I could see the outline of two tiny figures over me. They gave me water but they were flying. The looked just like humans but they were fairies. I saw the fairy girl looked exactly like me and she was with another boy fairy. I was scared but excited at the same time.

They bombarded me with questions but i was just sitting dumbfounded looking at them. The girl fairy told the boy that she's going to look for their mother and she flew away. The boy fairy sat on my legs and told me his name, Preston and the girl fairy was his sister Fayetta. Then he asked for my name and how I got there. I told him the story and said I wanted to return.

I was amazed that fairies exist but i kept my amazement to myself because my mother told me not to talk with strangers and Preston was a stranger so i just told him what was enough for him to find my home. He wanted to show me the kingdom, I was eager so I agreed.

He showed me all sorts of wierd things. There were shops that sold spare wings, ointments, little fairy clothes even smaller than my little finger.. so cute. Then he took me to a garden, there were many type of flowers but they were all unique. Their stems were rainbow coloured and petals were of different-different shapes. I plucked a flower with 7 heart shaped petals each having different colours.

There was a lake whose water was emerging somewhere from stones. I went near it and looked at my reflection. This place was so beautiful, all the fairies were curious to meet me but Preston kept them away. He was looking at me through my reflection in the lake and told me I was really beautiful and he loved my curly hairs very much. He wanted me to stay, we would play all day and eat every delicious dishes together.

I wanted to stay but my mother was calling for me I can feel it. I loved her, she would be very worried if I didn't go back. I told him I want to go with teary eyes, he looked at me longingly and kissed my cheek.

I can't remember what happened after that but when i opened my eyes I found my parents and a doctor standing by the side of my bed. My mother was looking at me worriedly. The doctor told them that the injury will heal but a scar will stay there and left.

My mother started scolding me for going in the forest, they found me after searching for one hand half hours, she was so worried. I had fainted and landed with my cheek on a broken bark of tree. It was a deep cut. Had i fallen a bit lower I would have lost my eyes.

That was how I got that scar but the weird thing is I had that flower in my hand when I woke up."
