Looking up high how she flew reminded me of Tinker Bell for the first time in my life, I was in pure awe wishing I too would be able to swish and swing in the air some day along her side.

"Are you okay?" a voice said

I turned around and smiled shyly "yes I am"

"What are you looking at?" said an eager big woman

"um..a...bird" I said nervously hoping that was what they saw.

"Ooooh its a violet backed starling, Male!!! but how? they live in sub-Saharan Africa! "

"You are all bird watchers ?" I asked

"Yes" a man in the back said as he flashed pictures of Amethyst sitting on a tree branch.

"Violet-backed starlings are also known as amethyst  starlings"

I simply let my mouth dangle open...

Whatever they saw in those pictures I saw Amethyst posing and smiling.

'Why when I posted her picture could everyone see her in her true form?'

"Oh I didn't have a protection spell on me at that time, but now I do, so they see me as a tropical bird. Why a male, because a male is more colorful than a female that's why" Amethyst answered to my thought.

"Oh my GOSH, listen to the beautiful tune he sings...so...so...majestic" an old woman says dreamily and before I knew it her arms were wrapped around me like a taco "sorry I need a hug this is (*sniff, sniff*) so marvelous".

I rubbed her head awkwardly and looked at her "GRANDMA!!! what are you doing here? how?"

She sighed and put her glasses in a comfortable position "Your mom sent me to look for you"Grandma said grimly.

"How long has it been?" I chuckled

"two-

"Two hours? okay sorry" I still laughng

"Two days" Grandma responded and stared a creepy, unforgiving stare to haunt me for the next years of my life.

"Days?!?!" I gulped.

The "bird" stopped posing and flew overhead me. I glared at Amethyst how could she be so careless about me?

*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°

I got screamed at and grounded, great...

I sat on my bed staring at a picture I drew when I was younger it was a mermaid, her pale diamond tail silver over the moonlight.

My mind ended up wandering back to Amethyst flapping above me, the magic she made so easily made my feelings a bit calmer. I was smiling again.

Suddenly a apple was hovering around the room...Amethyst was here...again...ugh! My smile flip upside down again annoyed.

"Sorry" Amethyst's voice poured in and her bright face was dull too.

"Tud" the apple stop and fell rolling away.

"Leave me alone! GO AWAY AMETHYST!...URGH!!!"

I hid under my covers and before I knew it I was in a deep sleep...

°*°*°*°*°*°**°*°*°*°*°*

"WAKE UP! ELYSIUM, WAKE UP, TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!"

I woke up on the hard floor

"AAAAAAAHHHHH, who are you?!"

I almost dropped dead as I saw a pale woman with black hair...her mouth and eyes were stitched closed.

She had a ghostly ancient voice almost a echo mixed with a whisper "you will fail at your mission" somehow she was able to talk with her mouth completely closed for all eternity. She was tied to a wooden chair, it creaked and squeaked.

"You know she can't protect you forever"

"Who. Are. You?" I shouted into the dark room that only had a spotlight on her and me.

"I am your-

°*°*°*°*°*°**°*°*°*°*°*

"Wake up, Time to got to school!" a mad voice said, But it wasn't mom's voice that woke up it was the matter of fact of how she sprayed water on my face with the spray bottle.

"Yes, ma'am" I saluted her, feeling it was the right thing to do at the moment.

I shuffled with my slippers all the way to the kitchen table my droopy eyes had lavender saggy bags hanging.

"What happen to you Elli?" a little childish voice said, most likely James.

"Noned thinng" I moaned "jut slepy, I'm fine". I looked down to see a sloppy oatmeal, I felt dizzy and unable to concentrate.

At school during reading I read the same sentence over and over again without realizing it. At school during reading I read the same sentence over and over again without realizing it.

"Did you have a bad dream, Elysium?" Andrew cooed like you would to a baby. He laughed and high five-ed his other bully friends.

"It's called a nightmare, stupid!" Ronica fighted back defending me and stuck out her tongue, she was my cousin but we didn't like to mention it. To start we don't even look alike she has black hair and green eyes...
