Fairytales? [boyxboy]

Chapter 1 - It's oh so quiet

~~ Unknown boy’s P.O.V. ~~

I woke up, my back ached, my head was spinning and I was very tired. I opened my eyes and what I saw wasn’t my comfy little room, but a clearing in the forest. The forbidden forest to be exact. My head rested on a soft  heap of moss, quite soft. I rolled over and crawled to my feet. There were big red mushrooms with white spots, a lot of colorful flowers. The edge of the clearing was marked with ferns, big pointy ferns. With the sight of the ferns I had to think about that movie that I saw long ago, ‘FernGully: the last rainforest’. The grass was to green to be true, it was like a fairytale. What had happened? Why was I here? Am I alone? Where am I exactly? Those questions occupied my mind. I looked around and saw almost nothing but green, I sighed. I looked up to search for the sun, but all I could see were tall trees, blackening my vision. It’s strange that it’s luminous, because the sunlight is all blocked.

Suddenly I saw a distortion in the air. I went to the distortion and saw something my eyes had never before laid their sight on; it was a purple distortion of energy, swirling and dancing before my eyes. What was this? I must be dreaming!

 I returned to the heap of moss and laid down again. Trying to sleep and to wake up at home.

 When I woke up, my back still ached and my head was still spinning. I expected to be in the forest, but I was in my own bed. I guess it was a very very strange dream….

~~ East’s P.O.V. ~~

I went through the portal with Thorn, Thorn Elftwigs. He was one of my friends. He is cheerful and friendly, wears purple and green clothes and has transparent green wings like a butterfly. On top of this, his ability is fulfilling whishes.

When we entered the human world, we saw a boy lying in the grass. He was wearing a white V-neck shirt and light blue jeans. He looked like he was attacked by some sort of force. I took a deep breath and smelled magic. This meant that the boy was kidnapped by some magical creature.  We stayed in our fairy form and watched the boy, he woke up and stood up to his feet. I could hear his thoughts… “What am I doing here?” “What is this place?”

When the boy turned around I saw his wonderful face, his perfect smile and yet in his eyes lay a great sadness. Like he could start crying. But he did not. He was walking around, searching for something. A path perhaps? We watched and followed him. The boy came close to the portal, but it seems he did not see it.

After he discovered his surroundings he went back to his first spot and laid down. Went back to sleep. Thorn and I were very surprised. We expected him to wander around more or maybe try to get home, but it looked like he gave up.

Thorn frowned when he heard the boy mumble a wish about being home again. I gasped when the boy suddenly disappeared in a purple flash. The work of my dear friend Thorn.

“What’s wrong East? You’ve seen me fulfill a lot of wishes but now you’re shocked?” “Well, it’s just… arg… never mind… let’s just leave…”

I turned around and headed for the edge of the “forbidden forest”. This forest owes its name to the human, who named it this way because people disappeared when they entered this forest. It’s not that we make them disappear on purpose, but the forest does. It’s our protector, our guardian.

When I reached the edge I morphed into a human, my human form had raven black hair, my usual silvery lilac eyes, slightly pointed ears and a small nose.  I chose to wear some light brown shorts, a white tank-top, which highlighted my six-pack and muscled arms and legs, and black slippers.

I walked towards an abandoned shed, opened the door and walked inside. Sunlight pierced through the roof windows. In the center of the shed was one particular object covered under a black cloth. I removed it with a jerk to reveal my motorcycle.

After I mounted the motorcycle I sped down the small road towards a village called Faisfield. It was a human village. 

The village was well hidden in the forest outskirts. Faisfield is a very spread out village and runs along the forest valley. There is an old church, which used to be the center of the village but now it lies alone, half sunken in the lake, which is a relaxing spot now during summer and spring.

The nearest shopping mall is about 2 miles north or 4 miles south. Faisfield has one grocery shop though, a high school, a ballet school and a café.

When I arrived at the village I parked my motorcycle in the parking lot next to the café, well parking “lot” is a big word, as there were 4 parking spots.

Anyways, I walked inside and sat down at ‘my’ table, in the corner of the café. Grabbed my Samsung tablet out of my bag. I plugged my headphones in my tablet and pressed play on my music app.

The music that comes through my headphones is commonly known as Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky.

In my head I see my girls dancing on pointes in white feathery tutus.

Guess I haven’t mentioned that the ballet school is mine and I am one of the teachers. I have the advanced students. One boy and 15 girls.

After thinking about a choreography I looked at my watch to see that my next class starts in

15 minutes before my lesson starts. Got to go! “Bye Rita” I yelled at the owner of the café, she is one of my human friends, but I only talk to her when I’m in the café.

After a 5 minute walk I arrived at my ballet school, it’s a small building.

The entrance is a small space with a cream sofa, baby blue wallpaper and a mahogany floor. On the walls hang posters of ballet performances and photos of their own projects and performances. Next to the sofa was a box with a lot of dance magazines and in the back was a bar, where drinks and crisps could be bought after classes. To the left was the door to my office, it wasn’t a big office but it was big enough. The only furniture there were a couch, a closet, a desk, a computer and a desk chair. The walls were covered in yellow wallpaper and the floor was, just like the entrance, mahogany. To the right were two doors, one was a toilet and the other was the dressing room. To enter the ballet studio you had to walk through the dressing room.

The dressing room had white walls and a white marble floor, there were three large mirrors and a few smaller ones. The benches and pegs were on the sides of the room.

The ballet studio has a white dance floor, a mirror wall, a big music system and ballet bars around the studio.

When I arrived at the school I unlocked the door and went directly into my office to check the emails, because we do not have internet or phone network in the fairy realm. I see am email from another ballet school with the notice that one of their boys had moved to this district and is going to follow lessons at my school.

After checking my mail I undressed myself and walked towards the closet and grabbed some black dance clothes. Quickly I put on the clothes and searched the closet for my black ballet shoes.

After undressing I walked into the entrance room and saw the door opening and Elisa, one of my pupils, entered. She smiled and waved at me while she walked into the dressing room. 5 more minutes before the class would start and only Elisa is here. Shame.

I headed for the ballet studio and plugged my tablet in and put the warming-up music on hold.

After waiting those 5 minutes all my pupils were inside and we could start with the warming-up at the bar;

"Demi-plié and stretch, relevé and down, demi-plié and stretch, grand-plié, five,six seven eight. Port de bras en rond count in eight. And Sus-sous, right leg attitude and hold, five, six, seven, eight and relax."

And then the new boy came in…
