The Unwanted

"I hope you find a way,

To be yourself someday,

In weakness or in strength,

Change can be amazing,

So I pray for the best,

I pray for the best for you."

When they had returned to the cabin Kira found out that there was actually one more member that she hadn't met. It was a Skin Walker.

For those who do not know much about mythology, Skin Walkers are rare creatures who have the ability to shape shift into various animals and in some cases other supernatural creatures. They are usually depicted as tricksters and evil monsters that fool humans. Usually live amongst the dense forests and out of sight. They never remain in the same places for too long, it is almost impossible for them to get along with other supernatural beings. They don't take a liking to an figure of leadership and usually like to do things their ways. In other words they don't take orders from anyone.

This one, though, wasn't quiet different from all the rumors. She had long black hair, brown eyes, a heart shaped face, tanned skin and really wasn't taking shit from anyone. She seemed to always be in a cold mood and hardly spoke to anyone and if she did she it would be snarky comments or sarcastic remarks. Everyone told Kira not to take what's she says to heart though, and that deep deep deep in that cold cold heart that she undoubtedly has a warm loving place... Somewhere in her body anyway. Her name was Tailor.

But she did heed the Witch's advice. She sought out the Fairy and now they say on the roof of the house talking.

"If you don't know already, my name is Nixie and yes, I am a Fairy, a water Fairy to be exact. I am the second youngest- or was- in our pack. I'm only 20. And I guess Jinx told you?" She began. She wore a short blue dress that cut low showing off some cleavage and that was a bit up her thigh.

Kira hummed in response and leaned back to lay down. Her hands under her head and her legs crossed. "She told me. But you can tell me too."

"Well, I was born into a family of Water Fairies. I have- er well- had a younger sister and a older brother. He had found his mate the day before his 19th birthday. Oh he was so so happy. And then... I turned 19. Nothing happened at first," Kira glanced at the girl. Her thumbs twiddled, she fidgeted, around for a moment before wetting her lips with her tongue. "I uhm... My mom took me and my little sister out to get my mind off of things. Well I strayed for a bit. You know, play with the bear cubs that had just born. Playing with the pretty tulips and playing in the river. Then I found him. He was a Fire Faery. Such irrefutable beauty. A work of art really.

"Fire Faeries are a very rare type of fairy, you see. He didn't want me though. To him I was just another plain Water Fairy... At least that's what he said. He then told me he didn't want me. He already has an arranged marriage set. He likes the Fire Faery whom he was to marry. He didn't need me." She looked away and laughed a little, she wiped away the stray tear before looking back.

"Oh the pain was unbearable. Absolutely horrible. Fairies are so small. Just the height of your middle finger. Our bodies can't handle it. I almost died. But then Jinx found me. She took me with her and gave me herbs and things to drink. She made me better. She then asked me if I wanted to join their small group." She smiled fondly at the memory. They all held Jinx of high regard. Showed her unconditional love and they all just naturally migrated toward her. She treated them as if they were her own kind, as if they really were her children. And the accepted it, oh they basked in her love.
