The Lost Fairy🕊

Chapter 1

As children our parents often tell us stories. Fairy tales about princesses and dragons. None knows that those are actually true. In our world, a world full of magic and mystery, there's nothing that suprises me anymore. Dragons? Princesses? Demons? I've seen them all, or at least heard of them. But what I truly wish to see, my biggest wish is to meet them, the fairies.

We write the year X775 now, I'm 8 years old at the moment and where I currently am, that I can't tell.

The only place I knew is the basment of the laboratory I was kept in ever since I could remember.

I never had any of those happy families all the kids in town had, neither did I ever have a place to call home and if I did have such, then I have long forgotten it.

But it's no use to be sad about things that were never meant to be. So why bother thinking about it any further.

Sighning deeply I quietly stood up and tried moving towards the small window that was shut with multiple locks in order to make an escape impossible.

Moving in general sure was hard with those chains around my wrists and legs, placed to tie me to the wall, but my desires to see at least a little bit of the outside world, the shinning stars and the glowing moon that I loved so much, were enough to keep me going.

Step for step I got closer to my destination but however when I finally reached it, I let out a big sigh out of frustration.

I couldn't see a thing.

I now stood on my toes and tried making myself as tall as I possible could, finally being able to take at least a glance of the outside world - just to sink back to my feet right away. „Rain...", I mumbled to myself.

Yeah it was raining meaning heavy clouds blocked out everthing I wanted to see so desperately.

Frustrated I gave up and head back to the small blanket that was laying on the ground, something that the Professor called <Bed>.

Damn how much I hated that man.

As I reached what was supposed to give me a little comfort in this dusty old room, I rolled myself together like only a cat would do, trying to keep myself as warm as possible. That however without success.

I had no idea what time it was, yet I could tell it must have been past midnight already.

Just in a few more hours the hell on earth was to begin for me again. More tears, blood and sweat was about to be shed as well as pain to be felt.

After all those years of humiliation and suffering I thought I would have gotten used to it by now, or more like was at least able to handle it better, but truth be told, every new day in this mansion, with this man, made me feel less and less alive with every day to come.

„I can't take it anymore... there has to be a way to make it stop"  every night I have spent with myself so far up to now I could think of nothing else than my freedom.

How it would be like to run trough a field full of flowers, to climb up a tree and eat one of those tasty fruit people call apples.

How much I wish to experience magic, to join one of those mysterious clubs called guilds. How much I want that to happen.

Yet it always seemed just like a distant dream to me. I was too much of a nerv wrack to actually plan something like an escape or any other way I could possibly make my life any easier for myself.

To know that, aleady made me feel so very damn useless and unhappy.

As I lowered my head, thightly shutting my eyes, in order to prepare myself to fall asleep, a faint whisper  could be heard in the distance.

Curious I rose back up, just to see something I would have never expected.

A crow.

Sitting at the edge of the window it picked against such with a desperate face.

It faced me directly and looked at me with such a pressure that it made me feel like it wanted to reassure me about my doubts.

Like it wanted to tell me that everything would be alright and I shouldn't worry too much about what my future would hold for me.

I nervously tried to avoid the gaze of my visitor, but no matter what I did, the crow wouldn't stop looking at me. Giving up after a while I looked back at it, straight into his eyes, locking my own eyes with his.

I know what you're trying to do - but that won't work on me gahhh just stop looking at me like that.

„Alright I get it! You're right! This is not how I wanna spend my life!", I realized that fighting him was pointless cause no matter what I tried he wouldn't give up.

I then jumped to my feet and started clenching my fist in order to declare my ultimate desicion.

I would escape from here and if it would be the last thing I did.

That however was easier said than done.
