My name is Nicole.I am a human.My family calls me this 'Human' creature because I'm not like them.I am a Fairy,and the only being in my kind with no wings or tail.just legs.I can't fly,or breath underwater.My dad taught me how to swim,and my mom still tried to get me to fly.I am 13 years old,and I want to find that lost part of me that I didn't obtain from birth.Its hard not being able to live with either parts of your family.I live on the sand of Mermadia bay in my beach house.I haven't met anyone else but the Mer folk,and the pixies.My parents visit me everyday to teach me everything they know about the land.Stuff like how to find food,how to run,how to survive.Not a day goes by that I wish I was born different.To be like everyone else.To not be a total outcast.When I swim,I can feel my tail.Like,it's trying to come out.In my dreams,I can feel my wings on my back.I can actually fly.My mom grants me those dreams to make me feel better but...I know there's more to my dreams.I will find my inner self.
----------Morning-----
"All I have to do is 3 good deeds right?",I asked my mom as we walked the beach together.
"Yes,honey but I don't know if the prophesies apply to non-pixie and non-mer folk species.Sweetie,no one has seen anything like you.Youre very special, but I don't think you'll be able to get a tail,or wings.Noone has heard of this before".My mom said.
"I'll never give up hope.This is all I have"I say as we reach the edge of the sand.I feel the ocean's tide splash against my feet.
"In my dreams...I can feel my wings..When I swim,I can feel my tail.I know that they're deep inside me.I just need to let them find their way out"I tell my mom.
She smiles,and gives me a hug,and a kiss on the forehead."I know that you'll find what you're looking for.Its just a matter of if you're ready or not...Think about it.I love you honey.I'll always be with you"and in a bright flash, she's gone.And it's just me.I know my mom can't stay very long, because she is apart of the council.They have lots of pixies that need help,and only my mom can help them.
For the rest of the day I think about what she said.Am I really ready to have a tail,and wings?Do I deserve them? Everyone serves a purpose in their lifetime.Am I truly supposed to be an actual fairy?
