FAERIESTRUCK

Emily

1 Tulips and Daffodils

First day of summer vacation, and im excited, my Aunt Gezel wanted me to visit her this summer vacation which i totally agree once my mom told me.

I was sitting in the corner of my bed, finalizing my packing. When i heard a knock in my door.

"Are you ready sweetie?" my mom said peeking her head in the door.

"Yeah mom, almost. I'll be there in a few." I replied.

I have a flight bag were my shoes and clothes were stored, a backpack were my laptop and sketchpads located, and a sling bag were my personal belongings hidden.

My Aunt Gezel was sitting in the living room chatting with my mom, and they notice my approach. Aunt Gezel was a pretty woman, just like my mom. She has curly hair that she dyed black and she has slim figure, my mom has a curly chocolate brown hair and same built with Aunt Gezel.

A wide smile was written all over their faces when thay saw me. I was wearing a summer dress and a low cut red converse.

"Oh.You've grown such a very fine lady my dear Emily." my Aunt said with smile.

"Well thank you my gorgeous aunt." i smiled and give her a lady like bow.

My mom chuckled at my gesture. "Very well now, give mommy a hug and off you go." she said.

I wrapped her in a big hug and kissed her in the cheeks, "Then we'll be going now. I love you mom, i'll miss you."

"Right back at you sweetie, i know you love it there, be careful though. And be good to your Aunt." she give me a sheepish smile as she ushered us to my Aunts car.

Gezel's house was six hours away from our home, did you imagine how boring it is when she drive down here to pick me up?

Her home was a big cabin deep down a secluded place were big oaks, pine trees and birch grows in the way.

The trees were really planted in an organize way because they were really parallel to each other and it makes a good path through.

When i was younger, i imagined scary things that creeps into the woods, i have a very wide imagination back then and i was always scared of my own thoughts.

When we reached the end of the secluded forest we've reach a wide plain field were our destination is located.

Surrounded by different varieties of flowers you'll never see in the Urban world were swarming just as you reach the far end of the trees.

On the east part of the loan or field whatever you called the place, there lies an old but neatly polished two storey cabin that i was dying to see for almost ten years now.

I was currently almost eighteen years old and i haven't been here since i was nine, and all i remember is the good cynic view of the place, its like a hidden sanctuary.

If only faeries exist, this place would probably be a hidden place for them.

My Aunt lead me to my room, we passed three doors upstairs and she finally stopped in the last room located in the far side of the second floor.

My jaw dropped when my Aunt finally open the room, the room has a faded yellow color wallpaper printed by little flowers, and the ceiling has glow in the dark stickers of stars.

The room was very in order, there were paintings hang in the wall, some butterfly sketches that are framed. And theres a catch because there is a shelf full of books, and i was amazed.

"I guess you like it here?" my Aunt said with an amused tone.

"Like? oh Auntie, this is amazing, i love it." i giggled.

"Very well then, i'll give you time to settle, I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything." she said turning herself to leave.

"Thanks Aunt Gezel." I shot back.

"Just call me Gezel my dear." she shouted her voice fading in the hallway.

I closed the door behind her and lie on the bed.

This will be an awesome summer.

Cherry Dumplings, Mashed Potatoes, and Chicken Salad for dinner, Gezel really cooked a lot for two.

Two hours later and were having dinner in the kitchen, the plates placed in the table were good for five, i was confused. Gezel maybe noticed it because she cleared her throat to catch my attention.

"In case your wondering why i place five plates here, i dont live here alone Emily. I live with my cousins Deiah and Kahlil, they will be arriving late though, they have work to do." she stated.

"Oh, i didnt know" i said. "Would i meet them?" i continued.

"Of course dear, tomorrow morning you'lle see them at breakfast." i nod.

We finished dinner together, talking about my school life. She asked me practical questions like, my favorite color, book, music, hobby. And I told her that i draw and paint, which she adored because she also like painting herself.

After dinner, i offered to help her with the dishes which she obviously declined because she said i was a guest slash visitor so i was allowed to go back to my room and rest after that long ride from home.

I took a short bath and change into my pajamas, before heading to my slumber. I stared at the ceiling with the glow in the dark stickers, they were lovely.

I felt the blow of the wind and the curtains swayed. I stood up and went to the window .Instead of the window, a sliding door was built in there and it was slightly open. I opened it and step to the small balcony that faces the side of the front porch and the side of the meadow.

I look up in the meadow, and noticed the big willow tree in the center of the flower field. Then i saw fireflies that scatters in the field of flowers.

It was a marvelous sight.

I went back inside the room and close the door behind me. I took my iPod and start playing a slow song. I hummed with "Your Song"by Kate Walsh.

I buried my self to my comfy pillow as the song faded in my senses and i fell asleep.
