Once upon a time

Chapter 17: May's story

May P.O.V

The three of us walk home, silently and as soon as we arrive home, I leave them alone. They need time alone to Think about it. I step into my room and sit on my bed. There I take off my disguise and be myself. The truth was that I wasn't a human girl, I was a fairy. This is my part of the story and how my curse merges with their prophecy.

My real name is Blossom and I was part of the fairy society in Alec's world. I was a young fairy, stupid and arrogant. I adored using my magic in pointless ways and one day, I was flying through the trees when suddenly Pine came out. Pine was a very ugly looking fairy (turns out it was just a disguise) and being as arrogant as I was, I decided to help her.

I flick my wand and before I could utter a spell, Pine cursed me. "You are unworthy of your magic. You only use it for your own good. Not for the good of others. Tragic, that you had such potential." she said, stripping me of my powers. Then she placed me into the human world in Madison's family home. She sighed, looking tired and wise beyond her years.

"The curse will be broken if you witness two lovers from two different worlds, falling in love with each other and it would not be easy. Soon, you will know why I have done this to you." she concludes and before I can plead with her, she is gone with a flash. I remember feeling so alone and scared but then Madison appeared and somehow I was adopted into their family.

Madison was so nice and brave, I watched as her fairytale like family fell apart after her dad's death. I couldn't ease her pain or fix her problems without my magic and it nearly destroyed me. She was too good, too pure for all she had been through. She was my hero, always smiling and never giving up. She stayed strong throughout everything.

We became inseparable. She would inspire me to do things and taught me many lessons. I wished that I could stop her mother from abusing her, but whenever I tried to reach out to Madison, my hands fade. This was part of the curse. Pine was teaching me how horrifying it was not to have the power to save people.

Madison took me under her wing and took me to school everyday. She cared for me like the sister I never had. I had never experienced love. My mother was killed by a troll and my father left me in despair due to my close facial resemblance with her. I grew up, thinking love was just an excuse for those to use you and break you. But I was wrong, very wrong.

Madison cared for me and seemed to want nothing in return. She showed me what it was like to be in a family. I idolized her and her strength. Her mother would beat her and verbally abuse her but she always offered me a big smile. She stayed strong and no matter how much she was suffering, she would take care of me.

She would give me that reassuring smile and drop me off at school without delay. She seemed to be the only person who cared. I always thought people only helped others when it was beneficial for them. She proved me wrong. I did nothing for her and I was a burden. And yet, she would care for me so much and I was so welcomed.

I hated myself, before I had been banished, I had the power to save her and free her. Instead I had abused my magic and lost it. I had realized how ridiculous and immature, my use of power was. I was trapped with her and I couldn't help her. I could only watch her, cry herself to sleep every night when she thought I wouldn't hear.

But I heard and it broke my heart, she was just the sweetest person I knew and no one, no matter their personality deserved to be abused. It was horrible. Then I watched her open the book with trembling fingers and Alec appeared. I recognized him at once. I watched as their eyes met and I knew they were meant for each other. I had heard stories of Alec and his busy parents after all they did run our world.

I watched as he comforted her and he immediately filled a hole in heart. He is exactly what she needs, gentle and understanding. In return, she offered him love and care like she had done for me. She was amazing. I watched as they stole glances at each other when they thought that the other person wasn't looking.

I was overjoyed at their love. They needed each other and they completely accepted each other. They were both so sweet and kind, they deserved happiness. They fell in love, started hesitantly but soon they were deeply in love. Their love made me believe that anything was possible. As their love grew, I started to experience sparks.

I was getting my powers back and they had grown since the last time I had them. I was able to fly and I missed my powers. They were a part of who I was, before I was banished, my powers were everything. Without them, I was useless, a nobody and I thought I had lost myself completely but I was wrong. Madison had taught me that I was more than just my powers. She made me realize how cheerful and fun loving I am.

Enough about me. I needed to help them. I just have to wait until my powers return to me completely. There isn't much time left and I now know the purpose of my banishment. I am their only hope and I still cannot help them yet, I have tried before. I am not yet strong enough to send Madison into our world (Alec's and mine).

So I begin planning to save the people that changed me for the better.
