Mermaid Sisterhood (A Neverland story)

Chapter 5

"Good morning darling! How are you doing this morning? Did you have any more nightmares? You look really tired" Lindsey greeted Adrianna. "No mum, I'm okay, I just had a hard time getting more sleep after that nightmare, that's all" Adrianna said. "Okay great. I was thinking on baking some cinnamon buns today, since we haven't had any in a few days. Do you wanna help?" Lindsey said with a bright smile on her lips. "No, I really kind of wanna take a morning swim" Adrianna said with a hopeful voice. Something shifted in Lindsey's eyes. "What is it I hear?" Lindsey said with a low threatening voice. "Young lady! It's time for you to stop splashing around in the water and start helping your mum in the kitchen instead! I don't have time to sit on that bridge all day long watching over you!" she continued. "Well I've told you multiple times that you don't have to watch over me! I can swin on my own without drowning! Adrianna shouted. She felt her anger rise as she continued. "How dare you say that I don't help you enough? I do everything you ask me to do you... you.. bitch!"

Adrianna had never been so angry in her entire life. She span around and ran out of the door and smashed it shut behind her. She didn't stop running until she had gone deep in to the forest. It was her anger that kept her going. After a while she stopped and breathed heavily with her hands on her knees. Her anger slowly shrimped. She had never been so furious in her life. This was totally new to her. Running away from home had never even crossed her mind. But she had also never been scared of her mum until now. Lindsey had looked so evil in a way she couldn't explain. One thing Adrianna couldn't understand was where she had gotten her own anger from. This was like discovering a new side of herself.

She took a look around her. This was a part of the forest she had never even been to. That was because she wasn't allowed to be here. Lindsey had told her that out there in the deep forest, there could be anything. Adrianna began to feel scared and she felt her eyes tear up. She had actually no idea which way she had come from. She didn't feel like just waiting for Lindsey to come looking for her so she chose a random direction and started walking slowly. After walking for what it felt like hours, she still just saw trees in every direction. Her throat burned because she hadn't drunk anything since yesterday and she felt like fainting.

Just as she felt like giving up she saw a sparkle a bit ahead in the air. The sparkle came closer and Adrianna squinted. It looked like a human but much much smaller. It had a green dress on. What is happening to me? Am I dead? The little human had wings. It was a fairy. Adrianna sat down on the ground so that she wouldn't faint. The fairy landed on the ground in front of Adrianna. Adrianna just stared at the fairy, her brain feeling completely empty. But then suddenly one single thought came to her head and she said, "Tinkerbell?"
