"Freaking Tinker Bell!!!"
Yep! That came from Snowy.
Right in front of them were at least two dozen pixies, all trapped in some sort of net.
Someone probably had put on a net for hunting but somehow these pixies ended up getting caught in it.
"It's not Tinker Bell!" Li Ming told Snowy as she finally realized that she was actually seeing a group of little fairies and it was not a dream.
"Is this world also have supernaturals?" She thought as she observed the pixies.
She approached the net and looked at the pixies inside it. Just as she was going to break them out of it, she heard a small but sharp voice.
"Hey human, get us out of this stupid thing!" A small female pixie in a green dress with blonde hair said.
"Tinkerbell!!!" Snowy once again started his chanting as he saw the blonde hair pixie.
"She's not Tinkerbell for heaven's sake. Will you stop it??" Li Ming said, clearly frustrated.
She looked back at the pixies who were now looking at her. She was surprised that the pixies were speaking in English but not in Chinese. Did it mean that they were also from future. She became excited as she said, "You can speak!!"
"Of course we can speak stupid. We have a mouth and a tongue!!" The blonde said grumpily.
"Yeah, and a sharp one." Li Ming mumbled and rolled her eyes.
"I mean you speaks English!" Li Ming said again but this time she clarified her words.
The blonde looked at Li Ming like she was the most stupidest person.
Li Ming ignored her stare and put her hand on the net. A bright yellow light appeared and the net completely vanished.
The pixies all started laughing and smiling after getting free.
A silver and blue hair pixie flied in front of Li Ming and said with a little bow, "I'm Alvina, the leader of this batch. We have been trapped in this net for past two days. Thank you so much for your help."
All the pixies bowed their head slightly in order to thank her.
Li Ming smiled at the pixies and then finally asked as she was unable to hold her curiosity.
"Are you guys from a different world?"
Alvina looked at her with a little shocked eyes but then asked, "Why do you think so?"
Li Ming smiled lightly as she said, "Firstly because I have never heard about the existence of any kind of fairies in this world but the major reason for my question is that you speaks English which is not a language of this world."
"Then are you also not from this world because you can also speak English!" The blonde asked with curious eyes.
Li Ming didn't answer but nodded her head in affirmation.
"What did you do to get punished?" Another pixie, this time a boy, asked.
"Huh? What do you mean? What punishment?" Li Ming asked with confusion as she didn't understand what he was talking about.
"All our life, we're told to never cross the land of Faerie. Our queen and elders always told us to never go in the human world but since childhood we have always heard great things about human world. So last Christmas, we all decided to sneak into the human world just to calm our curiosity. But unexpectedly, when we appeared on the streets of London, the humans saw us. Not only that but they also took our photos. After that our photos appeared on newspapers and TV shows. The queen was beyond furious. Entering into the human world without permission can be forgiven but getting caught and causing an uproar.....never!!" Alvina shook her head as her eyes were filled with sadness.
"What happened next?" Li Ming asked.
"The queen send us to the forbidden land, a place where are no trees, no flowers, no birds and even a very short amount of water. A place like that is the worst punishment for fairies like us because our existence solely depends on the nature. When we got there, it was impossible for us to live there. There was no way for us to make pixie dust. After a few days, a witch found us and she said that she could get us out of there but we would be send to a complete new world. Until or unless we found the perfect master for us, every human and beast could be considered our worst enemy. After thinking about the offer we agreed for it because every place was better than that forbidden land, no matter the dangers. When we came in this world, unfortunately a bunch of people saw us. We flew to save our lives and finally got caught in this net. If you have not saved us then maybe in a day or two someone else had found us...."
The sadness was clear in her voice. Li Ming could tell that all of them were regretting their mistake but it was already too late.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Snowy crying. She looked at the snowball who was looking even more sad than the pixies themselves.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Ming asked as she picked up Snowy in her hands.
"Poor Tinkerbell!!" Snowy said and started crying even more loudly.
"You.....!" Li Ming dropped him back on the ground.
"Ignore him. He just enjoy overacting." She told the pixies but she saw them surrounding Snowy with awestruck eyes.
"He's so cute!" The blonde fairy said as she rubbed Snowy on his head and the idiot was busy in enjoying the celebrity treatment that he suddenly got.
"You must be kidding me!" Li Ming was really speechless.
Alvina looked at the girl who was sending daggers at the little puppy but she also knew that the girl love him so much.
She still remembered the witch's last words to her, "Remember! Only the one who can understand your language in that strange place will be your saviour. Make sure to stick to your saviour!!"
And according to her (witch's) words, this girl was their saviour and now they would stick to her.
