Stella's family has always been a specially gifted family and they all had amazing gifts. The question of where they got them always remained on Stella's mind, but she never got the right answer. Her mother gave some explanation of her needing help during her wedding as she was forced to marry some guy she didn't like, and her mom wished to disappear. Stella's mother- Melinda said she turned invisible and just left the wedding reception.
Something about that 'wish' did not seem right to her but she eventually gave up asking.
*******
Stella had beautiful long red hair which she loved. She often got compliments from many people because she kept it well maintained.
A butterfly landed on her nose as if kissing her and Stella smiled as she chased it around, her few freckles complimented the colour of her hair very well. She ran around as she suddenly heard a beautiful voice which sounded kind of familiar to her, it was so enchanting and it was as if it was calling her. Right then the butterfly came back and this time it landed right on her hair it looked like it was a butterfly pin, only it was real.
Stella's green eyes glowed up as she followed the beautiful voice with the butterfly right on her hair. She then had a quick vision of a woman holding her hand and then there was a bright light, it was all blurry so she didn't see much. Stella had always been able to see her visions just fine why was it different this time she thought but she was focusing on the singing.
it was so enchanting, so surreal, it was like a spell pushing her body through even if she didn't want to but to be honest she was intrigued. She kept getting closer and closer to the voice and it became louder.
Come child, come child come to me you're so different and you will see. With sparkling hair, magical eyes, you have magic from within so pure and special now come meet your kin. The singing stopped when Stella came face to face with the beholder of the enchanting voice. Standing in front of her was a very beautiful woman and words were not enough to describe how she looked but there was something about her that felt familiar .
She had very long curly red hair that sparkled in the light not forgetting the clear skin looked beautiful even though it had freckles. She smiled as she looked at Stella her lips red and heart shaped. The long white dress shined decorated with beautiful flowers and leaves, on her head she also has a crown like circular decoration with different flowers and leaves.
Stella just stared at this woman in front of her-too dumbfounded to speak or react and at that moment her eyes stopped glowing and she finally decided to speak. " Hi-", she was cut off by the woman as she began to speak . The woman's face started turning bright red as she began to cry-well that was weird she thought.
"I missed you so much darling and I'm so glad you're here".
Darling?
"Um... darling?". She didn't want to say it out loud but she was confused.
"I'm sorry, you might be mad and I know you have a lot of questions on your mind I can feel it"
"Yes I can sense your fear and tension and your hiding something but who are you and why am I here?"
" Stella can you feel my emotions right now? Well of course you can you just said it and I can feel yours. Can you touch this tree over here?".
She pointed over to a big tall tree behind her that looked to be as old as time but still very much strong, it has beautiful leaves and flowers as well as some thorns but it was so beautiful. How did she not notice it before
"But why, its just a tree". Saying that felt like she was insulting it considering how royal and important it looked.
"Please, trust me"
Wow, ok lady I just met I'm not scared at all and I'm definitely not thinking about crying and holding my teddy bear. Even thought she was scared she did it she touched the tree and she heard someone say ' I'm not just a tree you know and I'm about to be very important to you'
"Wait you talk?!?"
'Yes and I suggest you listen to the woman as it is very urgent and you don't need to look scared she can feel it you know'
"Ok I'm talking to a tree wow how? But then again I always have a how question for my life so I'll calm down now"
'Good, now I suggest you take a pink flower from my tree to calm yourself down'
She took the flower and looked at it, magical she thought.
'Its not as good as your teddy bear but it'll do'
"Wait....how did you-"
"I'm about to answer all your questions now Stella", the woman said walking over to her. So you can feel my emotions and I can feel yours, well at least until when you can control it"
"Control it how? Can I also mention that you look very pretty like seriously pretty"
"Thank you. You're coming with me to learn, to live, and to be royalty".
"what?". At this point Stella just looked like she got slapped in the face and just listened to her
"I know I will explain to you but you promised not to freak out?"
"I think it depends on the news really"
"Ok". She took a deep breath and as she was about to say something a black mist started appearing around them.
"Ummm wha- what's happening? Is this what you wanted to say? Because I don't wanna die"
"Oh my stars it's already here? I didn't even-". The dark mist was quickly approaching and a black raven appeared.
"Mam? Mrs beautiful woman what's happening? I wanna go home now this is all weird" but then again I'm weird too, wait mind stop thinking about this now, something is happening
"Don't worry Stella I got this, take my hand!". She put out her hand for me and I just panicked. On one hand a black mist was almost engulfing us and on the other hand this stranger lady was offering me her hand, can I really trust her?
