The fairy illness

"Please, please don't take me away again. I don't want to leave. I want to stay here. It has been 5 years and Noone has even mentioned an outbreak. We cannot leave, I WILL NOT GO THIS TIME!" I screamed at my aunt who has done nothing but keep me safe all these years. My aunt replies in her calm but stern voice, "We have to go. The signs of an outbreak are starting to appear again and I will not risk your life. Not the life of the last living royal fairy in the Neetilth blood line. You are a princess and we will soon return home to your throne. But first we i must keep you safe" My aunt has been my guardian since there was an outbreak among the fairies in my kingdom. It was a terrible illness. A virus created by the fairies living within the human world. They had been turned away from the fairy realm for many reasons.The fairies who have been exiled are the thieves, murders, ones who traffic creatures ect… you gotta be pretty bad to get kicked out of the fairy realm. They were exiled to the human world, with no powers, their wings stayed however. taking a fairies wings means only death. The only rule of the exiled fairies was to not be seen using them. Every fairy has been sent to a trial before they are exiled to the human world. Taking a fairies powers means that they are human. They cannot heal fast, shrink in size, grow a garden and they cannot find their other half, their twin flame, they also live a short human life. Some of the fairies have not been happy with being stripped of their powers and sent to the human world. I have been told the stories growing up that the fairies in the human world were going to revolt, they had been meeting and planning ways to attack the kingdom. Which they finally did… 5 years earlier… Today is my brother's 18th birthday… I just turned 13 three days ago. My powers finally came in! My birthday was so magical, everyone in the kingdom came for my party. My powers came in while we all sat for dinner. I started feeling hot and panicky. My fingers and toes started to tingle, like they had fallen asleep and were giving me pins and needles, but this tingle was so much better. It felt powerful, loving, and bright! My whole body started to tingle, my wings came out and started to shake. As they were shaking my whole body started to glow, my wings started to blow off small, sparkly specks. It was such an amazing day, I will always smile at the feeling of my powers coming in. My mother said she hasn’t seen such a bright and powerful glow in over 300 years. Every fairy has the power to shrink in size, grow anything in any season, it's very hard for us to get hurt and we can heal very fast if we do, at 13 our souls start the search for our twin flame, making life events lead us to each other and once we are 18 we will find them. Every fairy with the royal bloodline also receives a special power when we turn 16. My mother's power is her voice she can sing anyone to sleep, she can quiet a room with a thunderous booming voice, she can pierce the eardrums of anyone within 3 miles of her. My brother has incredible strength. He can lift anything. My father can change the feelings and moods of everyone around him. He can make a roomful of angry people turn into a bunch of happy laughing friends. Today is my brother's day to take the seat next to our father. My brother Sethryn is 18 and taking his seat next to our father as ruler. My brother will not rule until he is 21, but at 18 he becomes the right hand man to our father. He will learn closely from our father for 3 years and will be tested on numerous things to make sure he is capable of caring for the kingdom when his time comes. My brother is pretty tall 6’11” with shaggy blonde hair, a perfect white smile and bright green eyes. I on the other hand am 5’1” with dirty blonde hair that has hints of fiery red throughout it with bright blue eyes that have a dark blue ring around them. My mother and father have been ruling the kingdom for the last 200 years, each ruler takes about 200 years in terms of ruling. Those 3 years spent as the right hand to the king are meant for learning but also to find their Twin Flame. At 18 we are able to find our Twin Flame, we usually find them within the year of our 18th. Sometimes we have to wait for our other half to become of age, but the Goddess has never made someone wait for more than 5 years for their other half. A royal cannot however take the throne without their Twin Flame by their side first. Today my brother turned at and will be taking his seat next to our father. It had been a very busy day. Everyone was preparing for the ball and dinner that are for my brother. The feast room had two long tables running along the sides, the middle was left open for the food to be brought out and served. My family's table sat at the front, facing everyone. The first two crown seats were for my mother and father, my brother's throne was just finished being made and brought in to sit on the ride side of my father. My seat was next to my mother. The room has a huge ceiling, the ceiling is made of glass so that we can see out at all times. The glass on the ceiling can be opened like windows on some parts, which they were, they were always open. The fairies prefer to have as much nature and fresh air as we can, most of the castle doesn't have walls or sealed windows. Everything is open in the castle to let everything flow. The dining hall has vines that grow over just about every inch of the walls, growing up and out of the ceiling windows. In the right corner of the room by the royal table there is a small, beautiful and delicate waterfall. The castle was built with the dining hall built onto the natural spring in the mountain, so when i say waterfall, i mean a spring from the mountain side that has grown to a decent size, nothing too big. The water runs out of the spring and into a small pool where we get our water from, then it goes off from the pool and feeds the rest of the kingdom fresh water for showers, baths, drinking water, the garden, ect… It was finally time for the feast. My mother, father and myself all sat at the royal table. The massive dining hall was quickly filled with more people than I have ever seen. The dining hall has a balcony that can be opened up and used, in cases like this where everyone from everywhere showed up. We have 4 kingdoms, the Summer kingdom, the Winter kingdom, The Earth Kingdom and the Water Kingdom. Everyone took their seats as the music started playing. My brother came through the doorway, looking as handsome as always. He was smiling bright and on his arm was a girl? A small petite, dark haired girl with dark eyes. She looks so small next to my brother. As they walk in my brother announces in a rayality voice, “I Sethryn Odin Marcus Neetilth, has found his Twin Flame, the beautiful Adelina Marie Mathers from the Winter Kingdom.” Everyone cheered, whooping and hollering for my brother. A seat was brought up to our table aas my brother and his Twin Flame came up and took their seats. The feast was amazing and everyone was laughing and chatting away when dessert was finally brought out, fresh berries malted into a sweet honey/nectar with cream. My brother stood to make a toast while the desert was still being passed around. He went over to the spring and filled his glass with the freshwater. He turned to face everyone and said “Today is the day that I have taken the seat at the right side of my father. To learn from him, to help him, to confide and trust in him. My father has ruled for 100 years now and our kingdoms have seen much profit from his reign, I will learn from my father for these 3 years and I make a vow to all of you that I will fight for you, I will listen to you, i will understand you, I will be fair, just, stern and loving. I will embrace everything it means to be a ruler and I will do my best for all of you!” My brother pounded his water and slammed his cup down, everyone started cheering and praising him. Suddenly there was a humming sound that made everyone in the dining hall fall silent. Everyone turned and looked at the royal table. My brother's wings were fluttering, but that strange noise was coming from them. They were moving so fast! I've never seen someone move their wings at such a speed before, they kept getting faster and faster. Then suddenly multiple others in the crowd had their wings start moving violently fast and humming. I watched in horror as my brother started screaming, everyone fell silent as they watched my brother’s wings fall apart. They started to flake away and shimmer and sparkle until they became grey dust on the ground, others in the crowd started screaming in pain. I ran to my brother but he was dead. I screamed as I realized now my mother and fathers wings were humming and almost everyone else in the room. Panic started and everyone began to run out of the room. My Aunt Lucinda grabbed me from behind as I lay on my brother crying. She screamed, “Oletta! We have to go, we have to run!” I looked up at her and then over to my mother and father. They were holding hands as their wings started to flake away. They screamed together and looked at me with pained eyes. They yelled together through the pain, “Go Oletta! GO! We love you and we always will. RUN!” My Aunt picked me up and we ran out of the dining hall, we took a secret passage that led to the stables. My Aunt put me on my horse and got on hers and we rode away. We rode for days and days, hardly ever taking a break, My Aunt never answered any of my questions as to what happened, where were we going, is everyone gone? We finally made it to a small cottage in the middle of absolutely nowhere. I didn't even know which way home was anymore. We got off our horses, set them up in the small stable next to the cottage and we went inside. It was a cute little cottage with a small kitchen, a couch and chair for the living room and bathroom off to the side and a loft with 2 beds. My Aunt went over to the couch and called me over. I sat next to her, she grabbed me and just held me while she started to cry. I didn’t understand what all happened, but I knew my family was dead and that made me start to cry. I don’t know how long we sat like that for, but I was getting tired. I told my Aunt I was ready for bed now and she crawled up into the loft with me. She curled up in the bed with me instead of hers and we just held each other that night.
