Luciana sat with her legs crossed on Ashley's bed as she went through the mytical book she had seen yesterday at the house. She looked through every single line with fear, anxiety and anticipation. The book really talked about a lot of them and their powers...
It was just a fun book, but Ashley watched her best friend looking through it which so much determination and seriousness in her eyes. She had never seen Lucy like this...ever!
The girl had just barged into her room looking like a ghost, and scaring the shit out of her, then she began to go through her things till she found the book and now she's on the bed reading every single word of it.
There was a knock on the door and Ms Sarah conor, Ashley's mother walked into the room holding a tray of cupcakes. She smiled as she looked at both girls " Anyone hungry??"
"I'll be taking four of that" Ashley picked up give instead before dropping a kiss on her mother's cheeks.
They both turned to the ghost who was still pretty much engrossed in her reading " Lucy!!" Ashley growled.
The girl finally looked up with wide eyes " what did I miss?"
" Nothing dear. Have some cupcakes" Sarah said as she started walking to Anna, but Ashley stopped her mother by blocking her path.
" She would have three cupcakes please mother" Ashley picked up three more, flashing her mum a quick smile.
"Alright. You two have fun" Then she walked out with remaining cupcake.
Ashley patiently waited for two more hours before Lucy finally dropped the book, after looking through it again more than five times.
"Sooo...what's new?" Ashleu asked.
"I don't know..." Lucy replied as she yawned heavily " I'm just so hungry. I thought your mum brought cakes or something the other time"
" I ate them all. Got tired of waiting for you to look up" Ashley shrugged before putting on a Stern face this time " Mind telling me why you would come to my house before seven o clock in the morning, just to read a fantasy novel?" She questioned.
" I just couldn't stop thinking about the book since yesterday" Lucy didn't actually lie. She had desperately wanted to take the book home and complete it there but unfortunately they had a stupid party to attend!! " But now, I feel alright"
" Why don't you wanna tell me the truth, Luciana?"
Ugh! There she go again, Lucy thought. But anyways, she was still planning on telling her everything since she would need Ashley to assist her with the plan she had in mind.
Lucy patted the bed, and Ash sat down, her face still frowned, and her hands still crossing her chest. But by the time Luciana was done with the story of everything that had happened, Ashley's lips could be seen hanging from her face, and her face was the definition of shock. Utter shock.
"OMG" was the only word ash could say afterwards.
"That's why I need you to help convince my mum that I'm gonna be staying at your place now for the night and then I'll be in school by then instead. I just don't want her to get worried about me"
"I'll help you with that Anna, but what about junior? You know your mum wouldn't mind if he arrives at anytime he wants"
"Ash. That's the least of my problems now. Right now, I have a lot more things to think of. Like I possess powers, and I'm gonna be attending a school filled with that!" Lucy pointed at the novel
"Just tell the queen you can't do it Lucy"
"But I do wanna do it. I've seen ghosts all my life, and I've known deep inside of me that the supernatural does exists. I wanna experience it, and I'm ready to take it on. I have a lot of knowledge about them now that I've read your book"
" But...you're human! How will you cope??"
Yes. That's the only question I can't answer...for now.

Lucy had been anticipating for hours. It was finally six o clock in the evening and she still hadn't gotten any sleep at all. She took another quick bath and put on some casual clothes. It was a...Dress. a yellow sundress actually because for the first time in her life she wanted to impress...since she was the only human.
Lucy amd Ashley had lied to Kathy saying Lucy would now be staying over at Ash's house during the night time for some time to get on with some girl besty stuff. It had been the most stupid excuse ever but mum has known ash for as long as Lucy had known her so she agreed on it.
Luciana lay on her bed once again, thinking about where she would be in the next hour. Her mum wasn't home now, and it was just her. She was very tired from everything, and her head was gonna explode if she didn't calm down a bit.
She needed a lot of rest.
It sounded faint, as if it was very far but Luciana's ears easily picked it up. It sounded like a knock, and she rolled on her bed before fluttering her eyes open.
She had fallen asleep!
And it was already 8:00pm.
She sat up on the bed, and the knock came again. It was from her window, and when she looked she saw something there...like a dragonfly.
But flies are not supposed to have wings that glitter, and they definitely can't knock.
Lucy walked over to the window, and then she saw it. Her palm flew straight and slapped her mouth before she screamed as her eyes settled on the little creature that was now smiling up at her. She opened the window...and the fairy flew in.
No way! That is... it's not...fairy is here!!
It was a girl fairy, with long blonde hair and she dressed almost exactly like Tinkerbell, the only difference was that her dress was longer, and had tiny hands. Lucy watched the fairy in awe as she flew to wards the bed and suddenly...she became bigger.
As big as a human.
" Hello...Anna" She spoke.
Lucy was dumstruck as she just stood there frozen, staring at the fairy. She looked about her age, but she was damn sure the fairy was much more older than her. Her clothes had also turned big and her blonde hair glowed brightly.
She had this elf slipper on her feet, matching the color of her blue dress. Her eyes were navy blue, and oddly mesmerizing, and there was also a small sack tied around her waist.
" Queen Yezalel sent me to pick you up. My name is loe" She had this sweet babyish voice
" You're a fairy" that was all I could say.
She smiled, showing off her white sparkling set of beautiful teeths " I am? Wow I am!"
" Can I touch you?"
" Of course. I need to hold your hands and make us dissapear back to everland'. The queen asked me to show you around a bit before school begins"
I was gonna go off anytime from now.
"Sure, why not" I said like I was in a daze.
She giggled, before walking off the bed. She extended her hand,and I took it immediately. She also has baby soft hands!!
"Ready?" She asked
I nodded excitedly. She dipped her hands inside her sack and fetched something that looked like Golden sand.
It's fairy dust!
And then she sprinkled it above our heads. I wanted to lick them as they descended, but I refrained from doing so.
"Welcome..." She said and the next second I wasn't in my room anymore.
I was in a completely different planet " To Everland"
