Our Tragic Fairy Tale

9

You were like a flame in my heart

You killed yourself

Freeing yourself

From my love

But I'm just here

My heart in ashes

"I want to be the knight who saves you from a burning house," he whispers to the writer. "I want to be the one saving you, unlike those who walk away from you."

The writer blushes and smiles. She begins to write a story, a story of her and her man. She keeps writing, however, she wrote a tragic ending for them both. It was a beautiful story she has written. The writer didn't think much of it and decided to write a new, happy chapter for the two.

"Oh how I wish I had a lover too," the creator whispers to himself. He looks at his puppets and an idea came to his mind.

He will make his own lover. He takes large pieces of woods and begins to create this doll of his. "Perfect!" he shouts in happiness.

He sits there and stares at her. He has made her exactly as someone he wanted.

However, after making this puppet, he felt lonelier. He walks to his window and looks at the night sky. He closes his eyes and whispers his prayers for a lover.

A little blue fairy flies over to the creator as he sleeps. She giggles. He is cute maybe around his 30s. She flies over to the puppet he has created. She is a masterpiece.

The next day the creator wakes up and cleans off his puppet then cleans himself. He makes breakfast for two and he then he cleans up after himself. The blue fairy watches and as days pass by she begins to fall in love with the creator.

The blue fairy transforms herself into a human girl and she knocks on the door and the creator opens it. She smiles at the creator and tells him she wants to see his works. He invites her in and she quickly walks to the doll he created to be his lover.

"This one is different," says the blue fairy.

The creator walks over to the puppet and he smiles. "I love her," he whispers.

The blue fairy chuckles," she's not even alive!"

The creator glares at her and she jumps a little, frighten. The creator kicks her out of his home and touches the cheek of his puppet. "Pinocchio," he whispers, " I love you."

Pinocchio watches as the creator loves her and caresses her. She can't move or do anything other than watch the creator. The blue fairy came by every day and annoyed the Creator. She made him his meals, cleaned his home, washed his clothes, and she showed him affection. However, he rejected her over and over again.

Then one day, the Creator left to buy cloth to make new clothes for Pinocchio. The blue fairy looks at Pinocchio and sees a spark. "You're not alive, won't you let me have him?" asks the blue fairy.

Then, she sees tears coming out of Pinocchio's eyes.

The blue fairy's eyes widen. She quickly wipes it away and then she leaves.

The creator comes home and begins to make a new outfit for Pinocchio. He stops. He looks at Pinocchio and then he sighs. He sits there as if he's having a fight inside of himself.

With a long period of thinking, the Creator takes the puppet and puts her away ̶.̶ ̶H̶e̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶l̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶o̶u̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶p̶u̶t̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶w̶o̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶l̶s̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶l̶u̶e̶ ̶f̶a̶i̶r̶y̶ ̶w̶a̶l̶k̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶P̶i̶n̶o̶c̶c̶h̶i̶o̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶.̶ ̶S̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶e̶e̶l̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶p̶p̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶s̶k̶s̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶P̶i̶n̶o̶c̶c̶h̶i̶o̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶C̶r̶e̶a̶t̶o̶r̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶s̶m̶i̶l̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶e̶l̶l̶s̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶e̶a̶t̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶l̶u̶e̶ ̶f̶a̶i̶r̶y̶ ̶s̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶e̶n̶j̶o̶y̶ ̶b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶f̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶g̶e̶t̶h̶e̶r̶.̶ ̶ ̶but then he saw tears in her eyes.

The creator quickly puts her back and wipes Pinocchio's tears away. He apologizes. His heart is burning in pain.

The next day the blue fairy walks in and sees Pinocchio and the Creator eating together. She walks over and grabs Pinocchio. The creator stands up in surprise and pushes the blue fairy down. He takes Pinocchio and made sure she's alright.

The blue fairy begins to cry. She cries her heart out. She reaches for Pinocchio but the creator gave her a glare. "I will protect you," he whispers to Pinocchio.

"She's not even alive!" yells the blue fairy. "You prayed for someone to love you and you were given me. Yet, you won't love me who loves you but will only love something that can't love you!"

She runs away. The creator drops Pinocchio and runs after the blue fairy.

Pinocchio lays there on the floor, crying.

The creator loses the blue fairy and returns home. He takes Pinocchio and sets her back in place. He spends the rest of his day continuing to make an outfit.

The blue fairy appears in the creator's house as he sleeps. She wakes the creator up and he gives her a hug. She takes him outside in the middle of the night to show him the bright stars. He smiles. It felt nice to be loved and to love.

It was nice for just a few hours. She smiles and tells him to stay there. She returns to the creator's home where Pinocchio is. She takes her heart and places it in Pinocchio. The blue fairy then disappears into pixie dust.

Pinocchio opens her eyes, she has become alive. She smiles happily and jumps up and down from joy. She takes the outfit the creator has made but it is way to big for her. That is when she realized something, the outfit is not for her.

She carries the outfit on her as her heart begin to burn. She struggles to walk correctly and bumps into an oil lamp that splatters and a fire begins to spread. The house slowly became a big fire. Pinocchio staggers to the door and opens it. The creator has noticed and ran to his home. At the door, he notices Pinocchio in flames.

He pulls her towards him, away from the burning house. He frowns, wondering where the blue fairy is at. Could she be trapped in the fire?

He tries to go in but Pinocchio stops him. They argue and she begins to cry. "If you can't make up your mind, then you won't be able to love at all," Pinocchio cries out. She runs into the fire and there, she burned.
