A Rose

Make It Pink

I got home that night and all the faries were standing at the door, "the school called." Fauna began, I have never been yelled a by these three not even when I was eight and set the garden on fire, not even when I came home and told them Aurora's son had left, not even when the school suspended me for punching Isabel in the face.

"They said you got a crown." Flora continued, grabbing my bag which I had put on the floor and leaving the room.  She was probably headed to my room on the upper floor, although they respected my privacy and had never gone inside my room, but that's probably that they are more afraid to.

"But they also said you weren't royal." Merriweather finished, which they already knew, it was the first thing they tired to find out when I was a baby, and every since they have been trying to invent something that could tell with a prick of the finger.

"Well that's half true I got a bow because the writer didn't want to jump to conclusions but the reason is that no one knows who my parents are, so we cant assume I'm not royal either." I finished taking a long breath of air.

"Makes sense, although this crown thing is getting out of hand, now there putting idea in kids heads and giving hope to the city again. I'm going to call the school." Fauna said and walked a way.

"You know dear, if I had my magic I could tell you who your parents were." Merriweather whispered, but I laughed.

"Merriweather its been sixteen years, your magic is never coming back," I shook my head.

"Alas dear child, this curse has more to it than you know." I looked at her puzzled, then walked a way not to bother myself with it, I headed up to my room, climbing the stair case and running my hands along the pink and blue roses that had been hand painted on. I reached my bedroom, throwing myself down on the silky quilt. So much had happened in one day, I don't think I am ready for the rest of the week. 

The next morning I woke early and headed over to the Hatters to help pick out flowers, I was always good with flowers. I loved the way they smell and their look. Alice opened the door and hurried me inside telling me to sit down and eat we had a big morning planned, which meant the next two hours before school started. I grabbed a piece of bacon and went to see  Mr. Hatter, I popped in said hello and then headed for Issic's room. I walked in and he was sitting in front of his easel painting red roses, I walked up behind him and grabbed his shoulders scaring him. 

"Geez don't you ever knock, now you have ruined it I hope your happy," I raised an eyebrow.

"What?" he scoffed and grabbed his bag and headed for the door. "That was going to be your birthday present." I blushed and hugged him telling him it was beautiful and he said whatever then left the room, I followed behind. Alice was standing at the end of the hallway. 

"Are you ready dear?" I nodded and she opened the door to the right of her, I walked into the room and was greeted with the nice smell of flowers, the room was designed like a green house, it house thousands of flowers. She walked around for a bit before turning to me and said "okay flower witch, pick." to the left of me were tigerlilys and to the right were bluebells.

I pointed to the blue bells and said "But make them pink," she nodded her head, and wrote it down shooing me out of the room and into the kitchen were there was five bowls set up. "Now frosting." I tasted every single flavor and pointed to a green one of the end.  After an hour more of choices, everything from table cloth to marshmallow shape, we hurried off to school.

The walk to school was quiet and awkward, i have never been awkward with Issic and i didnt like it. "So the party is coming up are you excited?" I asked trying to make some sort of conversation.

"I always love parties, I get it from my dad." And like that the conversation was over. When soon arrived at school and everyone was starring at me, i could feel peoples eyes as i walk through the hall, and hear their whispers although they didnt care and they grew to be more than whispers. Before i could reach first period, I was stopped by Melody, the daughter of Ariel.

"So, princess tell us, how is the writer the only one who knows your little secret."

"Move Melody."

"Oh come on tell us." The whole school had stopped to listen. "Go on now tell us who your parents are, you know don't you, because if you didn't that would be just sad, the writer figuring it out before you." and with that a slapped her across the face, the whole school gasped and I walked away.

Issic came running after me, "Was the really called for, hitting her." I stopped looking up  at him.

"Yes it was, these people they are all hatful, and nothing like their parents stories, I am treated like this because they need someone to blame, when really it was their own faults I am an orphan baby, no royal blood, no magic, and no reason for anyone to hate me. Yes Issic it was called for and if you cant see that maybe you should stay again from me awhile." Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, I turned and walked away, knowing that for the third time today everyone was starring at me, I reached the doors and grabbed hold, when bright pink roses bloomed from the floor. Ever whisper stopped and people stood and watch, it was like nothing any of use had ever seen, it was magic.
