As children we believe in stories told to us because of hope,faith, and pure naivety and as we age we stop believing in those stories because we had a chance to experience reality first hand ,we no longer believe something so beautiful could exist in such a cruel and ruthless world we no longer wish on stars or throw pennies into wells we learn that if you want something done you must do it yourself and that no one will be pleased with what you achieve.

I know all about this I'm from California and like anyone else I was told these stories from birth the ones about the tiny yet beautiful winged creature born from a  flower to the huge white snow king that lives in a cave.when I became an older sister I told these stories to my younger siblings my father was no longer around to express the beauty our would could hold and my mother wouldn't even try to replicate the words that would leave such an impact on the youth she was more worried about how fast she could get the bottom of a bottle of vodka. After my parents had the twins they divorced, my mother found out father was cheating and demanded a divorce even though she was no stranger to the milk man she made a spectacle of father's affair and took almost everything he had but he didn't bother to fight for his belongings because he soon married his mistress to start a new family. 

After fathers departure mother fell off the wagon she started drinking and doing drugs I was only 16 and the twins were just turning 10.she only worked to support her growing addiction leaving us to fend for ourselves being that the kids were to young to get jobs I had to work to support the family I got a job a patty's cafe it's a ten minute walk from the house so it was an easy commute . I worked 6 hour shifts after school, 3-8, 5 days a week and if there was any left overs the manager, Kat, let me take them home for me and the kids to have something other than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and watery mac and cheese for dinner. Some days I stayed late to get overtime. This was usually a good thing but on june,13th 2017 my mother's kidneys gave out because of her undying affection for alcohol. The kids were home with our mother while I was working late. They watched her take her last breath.when i got home the police were already there to take us . My father refused to take us in so we had to go to the next willing relative which would be our aunt. The last time we heard from her was when the twins were born. The problem is she lives in France 5,718 miles away from our lives we would have to start over like being born again but we would still have to bear the weight of our previous life. 

After a year in France I finally turned 18 the kids were happy and were adapting well to their new environment I decided to move out and try the whole college thing I got a scholarship to NAU , northern Arizona University, I would have to move all the way back but it seemed like a good decision at the time I decided to get a  small apartment right outside of campus the whole dorm rules weren't really working for me and I wouldn't be able to have any fun at the dorms. I soon made a friend named Tayler she introduced me to Lincoln, and sky I went through all of college with them and I didn't need anyone else. 

"Mary,come on lady's night discount stops at 11 were not going to make it if you don't hurry up"  

tayler Yells in desperation there's still 43 minutes till 11 but she is a party animal so in her eyes the sooner we get there the better

"I'm coming. Let me put my shoes on,not all of us can get dressed in 2 seconds".

There's a 5 min walk from the apartment to the club as we walk I thought about how great today will be.I'm turning 21 ,I'm in my senior year of college ,and I got my first real internship, today couldn't get any better.we made it into the bar I decided to only drink water but I knew tay would be mad because it's my birthday she would tell me to let lose and have fun so I got a cranberry juice and said it was a vodka cranberry. We were dancing for hours,our feet were like mush, I told tay I wanted to sit for awhile but she insisted that we kept dancing and of course I gave in and we danced. Until all the shots hit tay at once she ran to the bathroom, I have never seen her run so fast in her whole life she was like a track star on the last lap of their run, I went after tay pushing people like if the building was on fire I'm sure I caused a scene but I didn't really care. I found tay on the floor clinging to the toilet the way she looked you would think the toilet was the only thing keeping her alive. 

"Come on let's get you some water and some pizza then I'll take you home"

I try to pick her up but she was as limp as a corpse. I took off the 4 inch heels I was forced to wear to drag her out and try to get her to a cab

"We're not even half way to the door and I'm sweating ,please! Get up and walk for me" 

I pleaded as I struggles to move her as I was in my 3rd attempt to pull tay to the door an older women with long black hair and black nails walked in she was wearing a mermaid green dress and shadow green lipstick with small black lacy heels. She stared at me for a moment and it didn't take long for me to get lost in her cream white eyes. The room slowly started to darken and move as if I was drugged but the bathroom door opened and the women looked away to see who walked in the lady who walked in started talking as if they new each other  but the lady in green said nothing I stopped there for a moment trying to collect myself then the second women who walked in asked if I needed any help. I had accepted the help of the women it was much easier then it would have been if it was just me the 2nt girl that had walked in was super strong as if she was a body builder but she didn't have any muscle she was about 5'5 and maybe 140 lb if that.After we managed to get tay in the cab the women with the cream eyes stared at me again her friend nudged her but she continued to stare at me I started to see the darkness and the moving objects scramble into nothing. 

"Umm… my name is ashley, ashley price"

The small petite friend shouts it broke the dizziness i was feeling and the silence between us all .I look at her and proceed to announce myself out of courtesy. 

"Hello it's nice to meet you I'm Mary Stewart and this is Tayler mor" I glare in the direction of tay then I look at the women who seems to cause dissociation when I look her in eyes she does not speak 

"This is emerald stone shes mute I'm sorry if you were confused with her silence I should have brought this to your attention earlier"

Ashley spoke up for her after hearing what she said I felt so rude the thoughts that were going through my head of how much of a bitch she was kept occurring but it turned out she was just mute. 

"Well I have to get tay home it was nice meeting you both thank you so much for your help have a nice night"

I waved goodbye and stood there long enough to see them wave back then I got in the cab and told the driver I was ready.
