The Lost Fairy

Chapter 1

How did mom know that I've just parked? It's like she knew that I was just about to go for a hike.

"Georgia Marie Riley! You better not be going out for a hike in the woods again! You know how me and your father feel about you being in the woods alone!" She firmly told me.

"Of course mom. Why would I go out of my way to do something that you and dad feel so strongly about," I lied.

"If we find out that you are out there again we are going to talk about this," she said,

"What are you going to do? Take away my phone? You know I'm eighteen and graduated high school two months ago?" I asked her.

"You are still living under our roof. If we want to take we'll take it away for awhile," she said.

"Mom I think you are missing the point of me being an adult now," I mentioned.

"If you're truly an adult then why aren't you living on your own or in college yet," she remarked.

"Um, cause the semester hasn't started yet," I remarked back.

"Very funny. You better not be there either way," she firmly told me.

"Mom I promise I'm not going to have a hike in the woods. Okay," I said.

When I hang up the phone on my mom I know that she'll find out somehow. Even though I'm not sure how she'll find out this time. I'm almost certain that she will.

Five minutes into my hike I'm feeling good about. I'm on fire and no one has to tell me that I am. I can see someone laying on the ground in the corner of my eye. Almost as if they are dead. Who are they? What happened to them? I hope that I can help them. I only have a basic CPR certification for a summer job I did last year. Hopefully that's all this person will need if at all.

As I getting pretty close to the person I can tell that they have long blonde hair and appears to be around my age. I can hear something behind me. It is ruffled kinda. As if it is in a bush or something like that. I'm sure I'm only hearing things though. It's not like there is a magical creature that'll jump out and try to kill me. That would be crazy. Why would there be random magical creatures go after a random eighteen year old.

I turn around for some reason I don't know. When I do there was a creature that is about half my size and is extremely pale is bolting towards me. As if my body is going on auto pilot I stuck my hand out without being as shaky as I can be and a bolt of fire came right out of it. It turned to ash as soon as the fire hit it.

My knees completely buckled on me as soon as everything was finished. Did that even happen? Was it real? The whole situation doesn't feel real. I would be shocked if it actually happened. I hope it's some crazy dream that I'm having. Now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure which one is more concerning.

I need to make sure that this person is alive and breathing before I do anything. I don't want to do anything to stupid after all.

I check for a pulse on their neck as soon as I got to their body. Which there was thankfully. I have no idea what to do. Oh no. I need to call my parents. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this. I know that they'll chew me out for this. I don't feel like I have any other choice though. If this person needs help I don't really have a choice.

Why am I'm feeling a pit in my stomach. It's only my mom. Even though I'm fully aware how she'll react that I lied to her and did something I knew her and dad.

As I can hear the phone dailing the pit in my stomach isn't going away. She's not going to be happy with me.

"Georgia. Is everything okay?" My mom asked.
