After eating I went up to the kids and started reading to them again
“ok guys where did I leave off?” gabby smiled at me
“the little girl the butterfly into her basket” I smiled then opened the book to continue.
“'before we go i have to tell my mom i am going to ride my bike'. the butterfly told elizabeth not to tell her mom that she could talk, because her mom would never believe it. would you believe it? so, elizabeth just asked if she could go for a bike ride. her mom said yes, so off they went on a journey together, just elizabeth and the butterfly. they saw such beautiful things like flowers, and trees. they had a blast. elizabeth got tired from pedaling so far, so the two of them sat under a shade tree to talk. the butterfly was so interested in people and elizabeth never spoke to a butterfly before, so you can imagine their excitement. they talked about their different lives. elizabeth told the butterfly about her friend rachel, wanting to play with her best doll and about how elizabeth didnt want to share. the butterfly told elizabeth that she understood, but that if she was there with elizabeth, to see how happy rachel would be to play with the doll, it might be worth sharing it with rachel. elizabeth thought about this and decided to try it. elizabth asked the butterfly, 'what is your name? we have been having so much fun, i forgot to ask.' 'my name is cyndi', said the butterfly, 'and i live in a place were people are not allowed, but i am interested in people. i see them when i sneak into your world.' 'you have to sneak?', elizabeth asked. 'well,yes', said her new friend, 'i do' 'why do you have to sneak?' asked elizabeth. the butterfly told her, 'we are different from you. we are different from other butterflies,too. you see, we are fairies.' elizabeth still didnt understand, so she asked, 'why cant you be in our world? it just doesnt make sense to me. you could have many friends if you just explore our world' 'i know, i love to see people' agreed the fairy 'but we cant because we are taught to fear humans' 'oh', said elizabeth. 'well, can you visit again? i have to go home and have supper.' 'yes', said the fairy butterfly, 'i will, but dont tell anyone. it will be our secret, ok?' 'alright', elizabeth said. 'do you need a ride someplace to get back to where you live?' 'no', said the fairy. 'i can get back, and i will meet you in your beautiful garden tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning after i get up.’ ”
I closed the book and looked at my babies who were both fast asleep hugging each other. I looked up and another butterfly was flying around and I heard whispering from both of them
“who are you?” both butterflies looked towards me and I noticed that they both had long blonde hair and ball gown dresses, one was reddish/orange and the other one was blue. The reddish/orange one flew in front of my face
“I am calida the fire fairy and this is my sister mesi the water fairy” mesi flew next to her sister and waved
“why are you here?” calida smiled at me
“the more you read the more of us come so we can help you and you can find our princess Cyndi” I looked at them then at the book
“so the fairy in the book is real?” they both nodded and then mesi flew over to gabby and moved hair from her forehead
“yes she is very much real. She was captured by elizabeth’s mother and sold to a magician who used her for her powers” I looked at her and my little girl
“how do we come into this?” calida smiled and pointed at me
“you are the daughter of princess Cyndi and the heir of her thrown” I was completely shocked
“how am I her daughter if my mothers name is catalina and my fathers name is Derek” mesi had an angered look to her face
“they were told to keep you safe not to hurt you and they were told to keep you informed not to keep you in the dark” calida rubbed her shoulder
“relax sister it wasn’t miss eva’s fault” calida smiled at me
“in order to keep you safe your mother sent you to her sister, so she could raise you in a safe environment but your mother tried to escape so he trapped her in this book. Nobody has been able to get her out until now” I was about to ask her something but they disappeared as troy walked in
“who are you talking too, babe” I looked around then back at him smiling and shaking my head
“no one, lets go to bed” with that we walked out and headed to bed.
