I sighed quietly when I got through the school gates. Again. All those whisperings and pointings. I really hate those things. It was very rude!

"Why, its the serial killer. So you bruised my lovely face and only got one detention from Mrs Dutch? So not fair! Girls, drag her to a secret place and bash her up." Two girls grabbed my thin arms and dragged me behind a building. They started pulling my cheeks and hair. I struggled to free myself. Suddenly I could hear a boy's voice. "Stop! Hurt her again and I won't be your friend." "Wills!" Teresa gasped. The two girls jumped and backed away, leaving me all bruised on the floor.

"Teresa, I don't want to see you do that again. If I caught you beating her then I will not be your friend anymore." Wills grabbed my arm and helped me up. I gulped and stood up. Teresa was glaring at me. "Wills! Please I can't bear to lose you." Wills smirked. "Who wants a girl like you? But maybe I can consider taking you as my maid." Teresa nodded furiously. "Yes. Yes. Do it." Wills rolled his eyes. "Go to your class. Your teacher has arrived." Teresa scoffed and walked away.

Wills looked at me. "Are you alright?" I nodded. "Yeah." Wills smiled. "Are you sure? I saw her beating you." I nodded. "True but I am alright now. I have to get back to class. Oh and of course Teresa and I will be in the same class."

Mrs Smith was our English teacher. Today she taught us some poems. I could read poems quite well. Fanny, a girl sitting next to me in class was terrible at reading poems. "I can't read very well. So that's why the other girls hate me. I can't sing too." I smiled. "Fanny, its okay. Want to have lunch with me?" She smiled and nodded.

I was exhausted when I got home. Today was a Friday. So no school tomorrow.

Where am I? I looked around. Then I gasped. I was standing...on water! There crystals all over the edge of the river. It was beautiful. Suddenly I could feel the sound of wings flapping. I looked up and saw a magnificent pegasus in front of me. "Wow." I whispered. I took a step forward and extended a hand.

" Liana." The pegasus spoke? And it sound like a young boy's voice. "Liana, I need your help. I am under a spell and only a close relative of yours could help free me." I frowned. "Under a spell? You mean you were a human before?" "Yes. I came here, to look for you. I know that someone close to you could break my spell." "Are you cursed?" "Yes. Cursed to be a pegasus." "Do you...have a home?"

The pegasus lifted its head to look at the sky. "Yes. But it was destroyed by a sorceress and she cursed me. So I came here in search for you knowing that someone you had could break the spell." I stepped closer to the pegasus. "Who...cursed you? Are you...someone from this world?" "I can't tell you that yet but...maybe in the future. Right now, I need your help. Would you like to help me?"

I nodded. "I will. But who can help uncursed you?" "Your mother's sister. Tina." "Tina. Alright. But..." The pegasus stepped closer. "I will stay with you. I also have to find someone who can unleash the power of the silver crystal." I frowned. "Silver crystal? What is that?" "Not now. Please don't tell anyone about this dream."

"Wait!" I opened my eyes and gasped. A dream? Suddenly a ball of light appeared on my table. It formed the shape of a crystal ball. The pegasus appeared inside of the crystal ball. "Pegasus! You..." "I promised to come here. Please find that person." "I will but not now. I need to write a letter to her. She lives in a place that no one could go. So only mail would go there!" I winked at the pegasus.
