"Alena! "
At that moment, after hearing her teacher's voice, the little girl rushed into her teacher's embrace to seek for comfort for the death of her precious flowers.
However, before she could hug her teacher, a familiar pain appeared once again from her wrist, that woke her up from her sorrow.
"You naughty brat! Sir Ron, here's the little rat!" the teacher announced to the person behind her.
With tears still on her eyes, the little girl also looked back and flinched.
It was the bad guy. The little girl thought.
The little girl began to struggle desperately, wanting to get out from her teacher's iron grasped, but then...it was impossible.
In the end, she was left alone being tied up tightly on the tree and next to her wilted flowers.
From her wrist, there was a noticeable purple bruise that gradually darkening from her desperate struggle. But, this was not what the little girl was thinking about.
My chest....
The little girl looked at the fragile grass infront of her blankly.
My chest....
The little girl unconsciously bit her lips hard.
It hurts..
The little girl hurriedly opened her mouth wide, and desperately inhaled large amount of air through her mouth to breath.
Yet, however much she inhaled or desperately swallowed the air around her into her small body, it did not relieve the pain from her chest.
At worst, it was becoming more painful.
Why?
Tears were starting to fall.
Why am I ......so useless.
In front of her, there was a drop of water fall on the tip of the grass, then it slid down to the soil under it.
To be precise, the little girl tears that was threatening to fall had finally fell.
The little girl was crying so hard from the pain in her chest, worry for the prince and her friend Alex, but most of all she was crying for the loss of her flowers.
Probably because of exhaustion, the little girl feel asleep.
".....child."
".....my child. "
"Oh! My lonely child, wake up*
Suddenly, a gentle voice appeared and entered the little girl's ears.
At first, the little girl just ignored. Then, she still ignored and thought that maybe it was just her illusion.
But, on the third time of call, the little girl could no longer deceive herself, and turn into deaf. Thus, she opened her eyes abruptly then looked around to see the person who was calling at her.
In the midst of darkness, a beautiful lady with a fascinating wings on her back was being surrounded by a groups of fireflies.
"My child, " the beautiful lady called softly like a lullaby, then she continued with a gentle smile on her enchanting face, "wake up, my beautiful child."
"W-who are you?" the little girl stuttered after recovering from her shocked, and she was even more shocked when she noticed that she was no longer being tied up on the tree.
"Me? hehehe." the beautiful lady giggled like bells, then said," I'm the little flower that you often take care of , my little child."
"Little flower? "
The little girl was so confused, and pondered a bit for awhile before she screamed in realisation, "Kyahh! You're alive!"
The little girl screamed in happiness, and the brightness that was loss on her browned eyes had finally appeared and like the stars above their head, they begun to shine brightly like before. Clearly showing how she completely forgotten the misfortune that she had a while ago.
In curiosity and full of wonder, the little girl asked tentatively to the beautiful lady in front of her, "B-but how did you become like this?"
The beautiful lady laughed at the little girl's expression, then she answered, "I'm a fairy silly. And as a fairy, I'll give you only one wish. "
The beautiful lady lean towards her and tap gently the little girl's nose, " So, what is your wish my child for I'll grant it without any falsehood."
The little girl looked at the grinning fairy, then she felt conflicted.
As if she could no longer take it anymore, she asked while playing her fingers, then looked up to face the fairy, "B-but how about you? Will I still see you?"
The moment the voice fell, the smile on the face of the beautiful lady become more warm and softer. Then, in full of gentleness, she answered her slowly, "If there's still a flower, in the world, I exist. Now, what is your wish my child?"
After hearing her answer, the little girl smiled brightly and without any second thought, she screamed," I want to save Alex and the prince!"
The beautiful lady felt amused, then she shook her head in refusal, "It's a beautiful wish, but unfortunately, I can't my child. Fairies are forbidden to intervene in human's life thus I could not, even if I wanted to."
The smile on the little girl's face disappeared. Seeing this, the fairy then continued, "but...I can help you indirectly like finding your friend."
The smile on the little girl's face came back again, and with a sparkling eyes she looked at the fairy and squealed, "I wish to find Alex!"
The beautiful fairy laughed gracefully after hearing her answer, then with a wave of her wand she said with a smile, " In every darkness in the world, a light will never Disappear. So my child, your wish will I grant, but the process will lies in your hand. "
And just like a bubble in the air, the beautiful fairy that was smiling softly at her had suddenly disappeared in just a blink of the little girl's eyes.
