Her Secret

Dear Reader...

You may, like many before you have heard of the infamous Westbury Faery, but who is she really, that my dear friends is the mystery that you are about to discover in these magical words that I am about to share with you. Step into this fantastical world of the Westbury Faery and discover her secret which you like every other who has discovered it, must treasure. She is silent like the thoughts that keep you up at night, delicate like your first love and as broken as your first heartbreak, only a handful of people have discovered this delicate creature and told the tale. She used to be adventurous and filled with joy, now she is trapped by fear and controlled by anxiety. You must be wondering how she has persuaded so many to keep her a secret; she simply tells them her story and hopes that their conscience is strong enough to keep it a secret, a story which I shall now tell you, in hope that your conscience is strong enough.

It starts as so many stories do with a heart that had not yet been broken; a naivety engulfs this specific heart. Unlike so many other broken hearts a boy did not break this one; it was her sister that broke the Westbury Faery heart. A bond was created which was far stronger than any romance, that reader is why this specific heartbreak was truly the worst kind of heartbreak. The Westbury Faery and her sister the Evol Faery had been inseparable since the start; we acknowledge that Faeries come from nature and therefore the term sister is a true friend. They were both born of water, the Westbury Faery from the wild brooks and the Evol faery from the tears of the sky; they spent their days filled with laughter. It was the purest laughter, such as the laugh of a child who has not discovered how to be fake. All of this stopped on one terrible day, dear reader if you have enjoyed yourself so far then I beg you to stop now as what I am about to tell you cannot be untold. As we know Faeries cannot live forever, they do not possess the immortal gene; but this is not the case for our specific Faery. Possessed with both a blessing and a curse in its own right, she can enjoy every wonder that this world permits, but is cursed with continuous goodbyes. The Westbury Faery you see was born out of a heartbroken tear that fell into that wild brook. Dear reader she prepared for her first and hardest goodbye, which is why she has shut herself away. She wishes to remain a secret and alone as this pain is nothing compared with the continuous heartbreak of goodbyes.

Dear reader now the secret of The Westbury Faery, I hope your conscience is strong enough to keep the secret, until another just like her is discovered to mend her broken heart.
