Feather Of Love

Trustful Lies

I walk around my room as I hear that I have to digest a lot of poison. I become a little bit scared, but she says it has some cure. I feel like hot or cold water just washed over my shoulder, and I feel good that I will not die. But for now, I pack all my clothes and all my things and make sure no one follows me. I look at the window to see if I can jump, but eventually, it's too high. So, I look into the fairy's eyes, trying to understand what I will do.

'So, give me all the poison you have because you need to disappear. If they see a bunch of herbs flying around me, they would think something's wrong, so just hide it in my bag.'

She knows the plan slowly, and she goes into my bag, squeezing her big head in it, and I am ready for my strange adventure. I begin walking out of my room, going toward the field; it's faster to the woods, and I can hear her telling me to go left and go to Sarat. I listen to her, so after I get out from this place, the Magic Tower, I head towards the woods. First, I go through the field; it's so quiet, as if even speaking a little bit will echo all around. So, I'm quiet as a mouse and start walking slowly until I reach the woods. The problem is, it's the middle of the night, and everything is dark, hard to see. My heart is pounding so fast as I notice small steps all around. I feel shivers down my spine, begin walking fast and faster, just not to let anything here catch me, as if I am a rabbit running from a pack of wolves.

Eventually, after running so fast and panting from the long distance, I finally find the cave that the fairy was talking about. I go inside and see a little bed created from leaves. It's interesting.

I never expected that. I go toward it and at first, just try to touch it because I don't know if it will be a prank or something more dangerous, or will it be our real bed for sleep. The fairy looks at me and rolls her eyes as she feels my anxiety. She sits on my shoulder and begins to tell me her unsatisfied wishes. So, from her annoying chatter, I just sit and want to shut her mouth up. She looks at me so happily, as if she achieved something. She literally sounds annoying. I just respect her because she helped me so much. So, I look at the bag and see the herbs. There are three, thankfully. Poisonous mushrooms are the only ones that I can identify, and two others look like a flower with a beautiful orange color, and the other one is just a fruit. But for some reason, my instincts just tell me not to touch them, but I have to, in case things become more than I expected.

I cut each of them in half, so I eat the first half, and nothing happens. So, I sit on the bed, happily. I look at the fairy, smiling that nothing happened, but after a few seconds, I don't even comprehend. I begin to see colors changing, red to blue, yellow to green, the light slowly dancing around my head. I start getting dizzy. I don't understand what the hell is happening around me. So, I sit, trying to control myself by drawing, but I feel like I am just a drawn woman. Instead of not remembering anything, I can remember everything. So, I look at the fairy, and I feel so funky as she tries to move her hand around me, and now she has six hands. Oh, so beautiful. The more time goes by, the more I feel drunk.

I get until the fairy lets me sit and close my eyes. I close them and try to focus until at some point, I can't transform into any shapes I want just by thinking about it. So, I think about a beautiful statue on my mother's desk. I feel myself transforming into it. I feel like nothing, like my legs are numb, my head is numb, I don't even feel my body, as if I am a real statue. I only begin to see what my mother does. She begins to write some letters and do some duties. But suddenly, something interesting happens. I see my best friend getting closer to my mother, with her smile on her face. I never saw her so cheerful before. I just look at them, wondering what business my best friend has with my mother. Did Sylvia do anything to my mother? So, I sit on some chair and begin to listen to every word she says.

'So, I have to tell you my report that all the reserves here are checked and everything is in our better ways. But recently, things are not good. She's technically doing dirty things with some wizard here. She tried to seduce him, getting closer to him, and then she tried to use her magic, the one you're practicing on, to make him pass out until she took what she wanted. I tried to tell her not to, but she never listened. Please, let her understand that what she is doing is so wrong.'
