Auntie Comes To Visit

"Ivy, your Auntie is coming to visit us for a few days next week." Mum informs me at the breakfast table the next day. I sneeze again. "Are you sure you shouldn't stay at home? You sound sick. You've been coughing and sneezing the entire morning."

"I'm fine. If I feel more sick then I'll come home. When is Auntie coming?" I change the subject.

"Tomorrow which is a.." Mum looks at the calender. "A Thursday. Isn't it nice to see her again?"

"Didn't we last see her three years ago at dads funeral? Why hasn't she visited us sooner?" A flash of sadness rushes past both mine and mums eyes at the memory.

"Yes I believe you're right." Mums voice has undertones of sadness and she smiles sadly. My eyes start to water. I can't think about this now. Positive thoughts. I'm leaving for school soon, I can't have puffy eyes.

"Why is she coming?" I try to change the subject to something happier.

"It was something related with work I belive. It will be fun to see her again." Mum smiles at me and I nod and smile back. I stand up and put my dishes in the dishwasher.

"I've gotta go now. Bye!" I shout to mum while putting on my shoes. I grab my bag and open the door.

"Bye!" I shut the door behind me and start walking towards the school. When I'm almost there someone puts their hands on my shoulders and I almost get scared. But knowing it's Lauren I don't show it. We kinda have a bet about if she can scare me or not and she has a month. We started it yesterday.

"Hi Lauren!" I smile at her.

"Why can't you just get scared like normal people?" She pouts at me and slumps her shoulders. I laugh at her expression.

"If I already know you're going to do something because you did it yesterday too I'm not going to be scared." I answer.

"Fine then. I'll try something else then! You just wait, I will scare you." I know that she means her threat but I'm pretty sure she won't succeed.

When the day is over and I'm putting books back into my locker I notice a piece of green paper at the back of my locker. I pick it up and look at it. It's folded in two and when I open it it reveals a short text written with a different handwriting than the notes before. Could this be from someone else?

"Be at the back of the school 10 minutes after your school has ended." That is... I look at my phone. In two minutes. I should get going. Of some odd reason I don't even question the note or think about who would have written it.

I lock my locker and start walking to the different direction than everyone else. I walk past Lauren's locker but she doesn't notice me, she is too concentrated on what Alex is telling her. They are a perfect couple. Soon will be their second anniversary. Hopefully Alex has planned something for the occasion.

When I am at the back door I hesitate a little bit before opening the door. Why was I called here? Who could it be? What if it is someone who wants to kill me? I've already come here so why not just take a quick glance who or what it is?

I open the door a little bit and glance outside. I can't see anything different from normal so I think it might be a prank and turn around to leave.

But when I turn I see a small glance of something shimmering in the corner of my eye. I turn back around and see a young woman dressed in a beautiful baby blue sparkling dress that reaches a bit higher than her knees. She has quite long light brown hair and blue eyes and she smiles happily at me.

"Is it you who left that note in my locker?" I ask taking one step closer to her. She giggles.

"Oh no! Of course it wasn't me! It would have been too risky. I had someone from inside the school who helped me." She giggles again. "But it was from me so you were sort of right I guess."

"Why did you want to meet me? And sorry if I sound rude, but who and what are you?" I look closer at the dress and I can see a pair of wings attached to the back but they are neatly wrapped around the hem of the dress so they are a bit hard to notice.

"I'm Tina and I'm a fairy. Well I'm practicing to be a helper fairy. My master Mimosa is really nice and understanding which is good because I make quite many mistakes still." Tina giggles again. She sure likes to giggle a lot.

"Why am I here?" I'm really confused about what's happening.

"Well master Mimosa wanted me to tell you that you have been discovered and that you aren't allowed to tell anyone about it."

"Would you care to explain?" I'm even more confused.

"Sure, why won't we go for a coffe and I'll tell you more details?" She starts to walk before I even have the time to answer.

"I guess I can't say no." I mumble for myself. "I don't like coffe." I say to Tina. She stops and turns to me.

"Well do you like hot chocolate then?" She asks.

"Yeah I do."

"Well then it's settled then. Come on!" She giggles and continues to walk. "Oh! And your mother thinks you're going for a coffe with your friend. Lauren was her name I think." I can't do anythig else but follow her.

"So you're telling me that I'm some kind of a super human and that you and your master Mimosa are from a different world where magic is a part of your life and that most people from your world is trying to find me because people of my kind are born only once a century and are almost never girls and you or Mimosa shouldn't be telling me anything about this because it could cause serious problems for you guys?" My head is spinning and I can't understand anything. Tina shakes her head.

"No, or well you kinda got it right but I will go things through with numbers so you can understand. One, you aren't some weird super human, well kind of, you're a Mystery. Two, yes, magic is part of our life. In both worlds and we can move freely between them. Three, yes, you are a really extraordinary Mystery and the one to bring you to the Palace when the time comes is going to be seen as a hero so that's why almost everyone wants to find you. Four, you can never tell anyone about this or me and Mimosa will get in serious trouble because you aren't supposed to know anything about Mysteries before you're taken to the Palace." Tina ends her explanation and takes a sip of her coffe.

"I'm not sure if I understood any better now." I stare down into my hot chocolate.

"We will explain to you in small parts what it means to be a Mystery but now I can't continue anymore, master is calling. I'll see you soon again." Tina drinks the rest of her coffe and stands up. She waves at me before she leaves. "Bye!" She walks out from the café.

"Bye." I mumble after her. I drink my chocolate slowly and try to go through all the things Tina just told me. "I'm a Mystery?" I mumble. What I don't know is that someone in the table next to me heard what I mumbled.
