In love with a Fairy :.complete.:

XXII

Its been a year.

I've been here doing my fairy thing, minding my own fairy business for a year after the incident with Wilson and Cali. After I was released, Kryon questioned me about what happened, about who had done it and why. When he heard it was Cali, he was shocked, she was one of his best and it showed in how she did things.

Ty barely spoke to me after everything was said and done. He was mad and almost got sent home himself for keeping the secret along with me. I felt horrible, I did whatever I could to make it up to him but ultimately, he just ended up forgiving me.

Today, I see Kryon for an evaluation about how things have been going this past year and honestly I didn't care. I just wanted to go back home and lay in bed. I still haven't gotten over Wilson, not even a little. It hurts just as much as it did a year ago when I walked out of his hospital room.

Wilson, on the other hand, has moved on. I've seen him around the city with a different girl every so often. I'll see him with one girl for a few weeks and then all the sudden he's alone. Then there's a new girl and every time that happens, that lump in my stomach gets bigger and my heart breaks just a little more.

He never sees me, and if he does, I have no way of knowing. Usually I see him and instantly turn away. I have no idea if he's around when I don't see him but he sees me. I'll never know. I just work. I leave the house, with Ty, at 8:05, eat lunch at 11:18 and, walk in the door, with Ty, at 4:11. Then Ty or myself makes dinner, yes I can cook now, and then we watch TV or a movie before I finally go take a shower and go to my room, falling asleep at 12:19 every night. It was a routine that I slowly got myself back into like clockwork.

"Reygen, Kryon's ready for you now. Come on in." I turned to see a small fairy stand next to the door, wings slightly fluttering. I used mine to stay myself up and walked into Kryon's meeting room. I walked over to his desk and waited for him to tell me I could be seated. When he did, I smoothed out my dress before sitting. I sat up straight like Ty told me and waited for him to speak.

After what happened, I was no longer able to be trusted in his eyes and that put a strain on our professional relationship. Personal, he didn't like me because of my defiant ways, those ways in which I have grown out of.

I looked around and noticed that we were the only ones in the room. Ty was supposed to be here to give his statement saying that I could be trusted again to be on my own but he wasn't here. Kryon didn't have anyone from the Fairy Guard present either.

"Reygen, Ty was needed elsewhere this morning so I took his statement yesterday instead. I'm sorry if you feel misinformed." I heard Kryon say, bringing me back from my thoughts.

"That's quite alright, Kryon. I was just wondering, that's all. May I ask how you are, Sir?" I asked, trying to be as polite as possible. I'm trying to get my probation lifted, hopefully flattery will get me somewhere.

"Yes you may. I'm fine actually. Just anxious to get this over with as I'm sure you are as well." I nodded.

"I am, Sir." He started going through some papers on his desk and didn't look up as he did so, I just hope it's all good and this can be over with.

"So." He started. "Ty had nothing but good things to say about you're work ethic and about how you've been able to keep your word. I have a few of the Fairy Guard who have said the same. You do you're job, if you see the boy, you don't make contact. I have to say I'm very proud of you, Reygen." He said, still looking at his papers.

"Thank you, Sir." I said, politely. He placed the papers down and closed his folder. He didn't smile like I thought he would, he didn't look anything like I hoped he would, it didn't look like things were about to go my way.

"Though I have nothing but good reports, I'm not lifting your probation." I looked up at him, finally meeting his gaze, shocked.

"But sir, you just..."

"I'm clipping your wings." He interrupted.

"What?" I stuttered, even more shocked. He was clipping my wings?

"I said, I'm not lifting your probation, I'm clipping your wings. I'm making you human."

"I'm afraid I don't understand." I said, trying to comprehend what he just told me. I'm going to be human?

"Reygen, you are one of my best fairies. I'm being honest and against my better judgment and at Ty's request, I'm clipping your wings. You're not happy, Reygen. Anyone with eyes can see that. You're work ethic is fantastic compared to others, even compared to Ty's but I want all my fairies to be happy doing what they're doing but you'll never be happy here. Not doing this, so after much thought and deliberation, I've decided to go ahead and chip your wings." I was speechless. I get to be human? For real? I did my best to contain my excitement but I'm sure Kryon saw right through it.

"Will...will it hurt?" I asked, realizing after it was a stupid question. He just smiled and lifted his hand, moving it in a spinning motion. 

My wings began to tingle as my body began to warm. I closed my eyes as the sinsation spread and I slowly felt my wings disappear. It actually didn't hurt, it just felt weird, I guess. I couldn't really describe the feeling. 

"Not one bit." Kryon said as I opened my eyes. I looked behind me and saw that my wings were gone and I was human. I could contain my joy any longer as I went up to Kryon and hugged him. He seemed a little surprised by my reaction but I couldn't hold it back. I was just so happy. 

When I pulled back, I saw my reflection in a mirror Kryon had hanging on the wall. My white hair was now more of a blonde and the deep purple of my eyes was now a light blue, almost grey color. I was a little shocked at what I saw. 

"Humans don't usually have purple eyes." Kryon said. I just smiled and looked back at him. 

"Thank you, Sir. I don't know how to thank you." I said. He just placed his hand on my shoulder before standing up, towering over me. 

"Just be happy, Reygen. That's why I'm doing this. I just want you to be happy. Now go." I didn't give it a second thought. I ran out of Kryon's office, trying to find my way home. 

I finally reached the way to the human world and tried to get back to the apartment. I soon realized that I was a little lost and had to ask for directions. I was a little further outside of Lakewood than I usually go and that threw me off. 

Once I was back in Lakewood, I ran to the apartment as fast as I could, I needed to get to Ty. I needed to talk to him about this. I needed to see him. 

I opened the front door but I didn't see him. I went to the kitchen but he wasn't there and I went to his room and knocked on the door but he didn't answer. After knocking a few more times, I realized, he wasn't in there. Where did he go? I decided to go to the parks and see if he was there. Starting with Lakewood Park. 

When I got there, I was a little shocked when I found him immediately.He was leaning over the fence over looking the lake. I slowly walked over to him. We didn't look at each other as I stood next to him, looking at the water. 

"When they told me I was finally getting a partner, I was excited. I wasn't going to be alone anymore and I was going to have someone to share a life with. Then I met you, I realized you didn't belong here and that's why I spent most of my time away. I just didn't realize what that was doing to you and for that I'm sorry." I still didn't look at him, but I could feel his eyes on me. 

"Kryon told me this was your idea." I finally said, finally looking at him. He just smiled at me. 

"You weren't happy, Rey. I couldn't watch you go through another day of seeing him and not being able to be with him." I let his words sink in. See him? Be with him? What was he talking about? He smiled at my confused expression and I heard someone clear their throat behind me. 

"Hello, Reygen." It was Wilson.
