Third Person's POV
Alley could not believe what her mother said about her story.
'You're just dreaming Alley.'
The voice of her mother echoed into her mind. She wasn't dreaming and that explains why she just disappeared in the middle of her birthday party.
They search for Alley and found her at the living room. Sleeping on the floor.
'The fairies were true! The cat can speak! The rat wears suit!', she thought.
She's in her room, sitting on her bed and thinking about what she just saw.
'Maybe mother is right, I was just dreaming. Those things only exist in fairytales'
It's 7 o'clock in the evening, and she can feel that her tummy wants something. So she went out to the kitchen and search food that can satisfy her.
In her peripheral vision, she saw something strange. So she look at it and saw a light floating around. Her eyebrows met and she followed it. It seems familiar until she remembered that it's the same light she saw at the enchanted forest!
'I must captured that fairy to prove that I wasn't dreaming!'
The light went to the hallway, and then entered a room.
'What!? In the art room!!?'
Alley carefully opened the door of the Art room. But to her surprise, it was gone. She stomped her left food and cursed.

8 years later
Ever since that little light appeared in their house, Alley is been seeing things that others cannot see. She just ignored it because for 8 years, it has been normal for her eyes to see. Every day of her life, she saw fairies and every day she tried to catch them.
"How can I capture them?", she asked by herself.
She's all alone in her room eating a chocolate. There's a mess in her dress but she didn't mind it. Of course, she's not doing her laundry, their maid does.
"Alleyna Crimson Rey! What are you doing!? Why are you eating chocolates!!? Look what you have done to your dress! Your fiancé is coming and you must look pretty!", her mom just entered the room and sermon her. As soon as she heard the word 'fiancé', her eyes went big and her jaw dropped a bit.
"WHAT!!? Mom! I'm too young!", she shouted as she stands up.
"Such a mouth! Don't shout at me young lady. That's not a proper thing to do, you're a lady for pete's sake"
"Mom, what comes into your mind that ME should engage to those kinds of things in life? Don't you think I'm too young to marry someone?"
"You're 17 years of age, Alleyson. You're turning 18 next month"
"Mom, I still want to enjoy my youth days"
She heard her mother sighed, "Alleyson, you have to understand that your father and I are facing some financial problems. We thought about your future and decided this one. Please do this for our descendants."
'Disgusting!', Alley thought.
She couldn't take it and run outside of her room and then the house.
"Come back her young lady!", her mother shouted but she ignores it and run into the forest. Her tears are rolling down on her cheeks like a rain. She couldn't stop it, thinking about giving up her youth, she can't accept it and she won't let it.
As her tears blurred her sight, she didn't know she was about to bump into an old tree. Pain took over to her body. She badly hit her head.

Alleyson's POV
"You sure she's all right?"
"I think so? Look at her eyes!"
"Oh thank goodness! She's not dead! I mean she almost got eaten by a ---- ouch! What was that for?"
What? V-voices? I opened my eyes slowly and notice the creatures around me. I still have pain in my head. I looked around and notice a cat, a rat, an owl and a deer?
Wait a minute? I thought they were humans here? I heard them talked.
"Hello Alleyson. My name is Dodge", says the rat.
I could not believe it! The rat just talked and bowed its head!!!
"AHHH!"
I quickly stand up and run as fast as I could! This scenery, it reminds me of something.
As I was running, I suddenly remembered what happened when I was young. This forest.....
I KNEW IT WAS REAL. THIS IS REAL.
