Anne's Powers - Chapters 2 to 6
Anne hasn't really got over with her mom's behavior, that now there's something more weird that she faced.
Chapter 2
Anne reached her school and looked around. She was feeling really happy today. She went inside her school and saw her best friend rose standing in the corridor.
"Hey Anne happy birthday to you.'' Rose greeted her.
"Thanks a lot dear."
"So what's your plan for today?''
"Nothing special. I'll celebrate it with only you and mom." Anne said with a sad face.
"What happened? Today's your birthday and you're looking so low."
'Ummm.... What to say? I mean mom's behaving really strangely today and know what she hasn't given me grandma's letter even. I mean it's ridiculous. You know what she told me that grandma has forgotten to send me the letter."
"Maybe she's right. You know your grandma has grown old. She must've forgotten."
"No I know grandma very well. She can forget everything but not my birthday. I guess mom's hiding something from me."
"Whatever it is forget it. Today's your day and I don't want you to be tense at least not today alright?"
"Fine and I guess we're already late for our science class let's go."
Both Anne and Rose went to their class and after the school got over they met in the parking lot.
"So Rose you're coming at my place tonight alright?" Anne asked rose while getting in her car.
Rose came near Anne's car's window and spoke "Was that an order or an invitation.''
"There are no formalities so you can say it was an order.''
"Hmm.... Fine then I'll be there mam."
Anne laughed and bid goodbye to Rose and drove towards her home.
While Anne was driving suddenly her car stopped in the middle of the road. Anne got out of her car and looked at the car. One of the tire was flat.
"Oh god! Am so tired and I don't know how to fix this and there's no mechanic around. Ah! What to do now. I just wish I could do some magic."
Anne sat down and looked at the Tire closely and just to lighten up herself she said humorously "Hey Mr Tire please get pumped up I am tired." She smirked.
Anne got up and looked around. Just then she saw a bright light and she quickly turned back and saw that the tire had got fixed by itself.
Anne stood open mouthed and gaped at the tire. Can she really do magic or is her car magical or can she talk to non- living things or whatever. This was really surprising.
Chapter 3
Anne's life is pacing up how would she react?
After whatever happened with Anne on her way back home her mind was full of questions and she knew the only person who can answer her is her mother. So she quickly went to her mother's room when she came back from school.
"Mom what are you hiding from me?" Anne asked her mother.
"I told you this morning that I am not hiding anything from you Anne."
"Look mom just...just stop pretending."
"Anne that's not the way to talk to your mother and I don't know what are you talking about."
"Oh so you don't know or should I say you don't wanna let me know that you know is that right mom?"
"Look Anne tell me clearly what're you talking about?"
"Huh! So you won't stop acting mom.....fine then I'll make this clear mom listen.... Do I have some magical powers?"
Her mom was taken aback for a moment. She sat down and took a deep breath.
"So it's finally happening..... you've got your powers oh Anne you don't know this is the worst day of your and my life........................And am ..."
Her mom started crying. Anne sat beside her and wiped her tear and held her by her shoulder and lifted up her chin.
"Mom what's wrong? Who am I? Why are you crying? Why is this the worst day of our life...why mom why?"
Her mom said nothing but she stood up and went near the dressing table and opened one of the drawers and took out an envelope out of it and handed it to Anne. Anne looked at the envelope and said, "Grandma's letter. So you lied! She hasn't forgot to send me the letter. Why were you hiding it from me?"
"Cuz I never wanted to tell you the truth dear. You know very well that the letter your grandma sends you on every birthday of yours is for a reason. She always tells you your responsibilities, your mistakes, warns you about what mistakes you might do and gives you every advice that a grandma should give and you know until all this time I was really happy that she cares for you but not this time. No I didn't want her to write what all she wrote this time because I never wanted you to know the truth that this letter is gonna tell you but no matter how much I hid form you I knew somewhere at the back of my mind that you would know the reality but not now.....not too soon."
"What kind of reality are you talking about mom?"
"This letter is going to tell you everything child but read it only when you're alone of course you can read it in my presence but not in front of anyone else and one more thing read it when you're prepared."
"It's hard to open this letter now cuz I don't know why but I feel that this is going to change my whole life. I guess you're right mom I think I need to prepare myself before reading it and you know today's my birthday and if there's something in it that's gonna upset me then I think I better read it after the celebration so I am going to keep this with me until midnight."
Anne gave a hug to her mother and went to her and kept the letter in her cupboard but there was something that was really disturbing her mind, a strong instinct telling her that this midnight is going to give her a brand new life......it could be good or bad!
Chapter 4
Anne celebrates her birthday!
Anne's POV
You know what's the worst thing a person can say to himself/herself - it's 'my life's pissing me off'
Yes and now that's the same thing am saying to myself. I mean c'mon I never wanted all this to happen to me. I have never been those melodramatic types who keep on wishing for some adventure or drama in their life instead I've always wanted my life to be plain and simple obviously not boring but I never wanted it to be so complicated and above all this is my life it's not any Hollywood film or a novel in which I am the main character who has got some great powers and her whole life changes on her birthday............but facing the reality this is what my life has become. I have no clue about what's there in that letter but what I know is that I've definitely got some supernatural power or whatever cuz I've already seen it myself but what I don't know is that who am I? strange but true, I myself don't know what my real identity is!
It was 7:00 pm and Anne was getting ready for her birthday party though it wasn't such a big celebration and only Rose and Mrs. Thompson ( Anne's mother) were going to be there but Anne never misses a chance to look beautiful. So Anne took out a black colored short dress with silver lace at the neck and applied some gloss and brushed her hair and she was ready for the party.
Suddenly Anne heard her doorbell ring. 'it must be Rose'
So Anne quickly took a final glance at herself and went down in the living room.
"Hey Anne happy birthday" And to Anne's surprise her whole class had gathered in her livng room and wished her happy birthday and then everything was like a movie.
She got down the staircase and about 50 pairs of eyes were staring at her.
'Thank god I dressed up nicely.' Anne thought to herself.
Anne went straight towards her mother and hugged her and then she hugged rose and said, "So all this was your plan huh?"
"Yes but this won't have been possible if Mrs. Thompson wasn't there." Rose replied.
"Oh ! so mom even you've learned how to keep secrets from me."
Her mother smiled and Anne said , "Anyway, I won't mind if you'll keep secrets from me as far as they give me good surprises........so thank y'all for being here tonight and yes Thank You ."
And then the party began. Anne played some music on her sound systems and they enjoyed a lot after that the cake was cut and everyone enjoyed themselves to the core. Then at 11:00 pm everyone of them bid goodbye.
Anne came shut the door of the living room and then sat on the couch and exclaimed, "Am exhausted."
"So you should better go to your room and take some rest." Her mother said.
"Mom?"
"Yes"
"Is it important for me to read that letter. Can't I forget that I do have something supernatural in me and just live my life like it used to be?''
"I wish you could Anne..... I wish that letter wasn't important."
Chapter 5
Anne finally reads the letter!
Anne's POV
So am finally in my bedroom. I can't tell you how relaxed I feel when am here. It feels like each and every corner of this room is mine and you know it's mainly satisfaction that this room gives me.
Am feeling like I should kill myself right now. Just think about it.....I was born like any normal girl. I lived 17 years of my life just like any normal girl and then suddenly on the day of my birthday I find out that I've got some powers and the worst thing is I don't even know what powers I have and I haven't used them for whole day. If anyone will get these powers they'll be happy obviously they would feel like they're special but the reason am not happy with the fact that I've got some powers is my mother. Yes the way my mother described this whole situation makes me feel like something really bad lies ahead. If getting these powers was really such a good thing then my mother would have been happy but she wasn't happy. But one fact is clear, she knew that am going to receive these powers but she wanted to hide it from me.....she wanted to make me feel like I haven't got any power but due to the car incident that happened with me she was forced to tell me half the reality. Good or bad this is my life and my father has always taught me to be brave even though he's not here with me now but he'll always look on me from heavens I know!
It's midnight and now am finally going to read the letter mom gave me. This is very important. Today my grandma is going to tell me my identity through this letter.....a letter is going to tell me who am I and how I should absorb this fact........and why I am who I am?
Anne opened the letter her grandma had given her and glanced at it. It was really lengthy.
Anne read it aloud
Dear Anne
Happy birthday
So you've finally reached the 17th step of your life. Hope you will/have enjoy/ enjoyed your birthday. I pray your mom has given you this letter {hey Emily (Mrs. Thompson) I know it's hard but Anne is supposed to read this} So Anne this letter isn't like any other letter and I know you must've known by now. You're special! I don't care what your mother thinks about these powers but believe me they aren't too bad as long as they're used for good like all of us did. Me ,Emily and even my mother we all had these powers and we've used them only for good purposes hope you'll do the same. Am not specially asking you to be good because I don't trust you but because I fear that the kind of powers you have may mislead you. Yes! Emily you are different. The kind of powers you have aren't like the powers that we had. They are much more powerful, intensive and destructive!
Now you may wondering what are all these powers right? So to start lemme tell you that you belong to a family of fairies...........yes we are all fairies the most powerful of all the supernatural things cause we don't need magical spells, potions, wands nothing. What we need is emotions. We can do anything if we feel that it should be done. A good fairy is the one who has good controls over her emotions.....like anger...if she doesn't control her anger she can bring destruction. Now to what extent that destruction would be depends on her powers. More powers more destruction similarly with more powers she can do more creations, healing too.
Now Anne you're the most powerful fairy whose born after 20 years. You've lived 16 years of your life like a normal person because it helped you to understand the emotions and suffering of normal human beings. Now when you're a fairy this experience will help you to make a wise decision and help all human beings who're in need.
Your mom hates this fact for a deep reason which I can't tell you but please love the fact that you're a fairy and don't waste your powers instead use them to remove all the evil form the world. You're a boon to this world. Please don't waste it. I can't write everything in this letter but I'll contact you in a special way. I'll be sending you a magical parcel soon alright. Till then enjoy your powers. And no matter how much your mother hates these powers I know that you must have seen her with all these weird expressions whenever you enter in her room unannounced right?
With love
Your grandma
"Yes she does granny." Anne smiled.
Chapter 6
Anne learns about what she really is in detail and fins out more about fairies.
Anne woke up the next morning with a very weird feeling. It was a holiday so she didn't care about dressing up. She just grabbed her comfort jeans and a cotton shirt and got ready. She brushed her hair and didn't care about makeup.
Anne went down in the living room and saw her mother arranging the breakfast table. Mrs. Thompson looked up at Anne and Anne felt that her mother's eyes were longing to ask her something.
"Good morning mom"
"Good morning Anne."
Anne sat down and grabbed a piece of toast and poured herself some orange juice. Mrs. Thompson sat in front of her and took a sip of orange juice and said, "Anne did you enjoy the party last night?"
"Of course mom...it was great."
There was a silence in the living room for a while, which was broken by Mrs. Thompson.
"Anne did you...did you read the letter?"
"Yes"
" What was there in it?"
"Look mom, I'll only bring up this conversation with you if you'll corporate and answer me my questions too."
"Anne this isn't simple. You're in a very complicated stage of you life right now and we need to discuss this. So tell me what was there in the letter."
" Well it was a very lengthy letter but I'll tell you the main point...........granny told me that we are fairies and we have some powers that'll help the humans and you hate these powers for a deep reason she didn't tell me and she said no matter how much you hate those powers I must've caught you in a horrid expression." Anne laughed on her last sentence.
"Well yeah! I do hate magic but I guess it's handy. I mean I've got the powers so I use it for a little household work that's all. Not for anything else."
"Hmmm.....so mom how do you do magic? I mean I don't know how to use powers?"
"Well I don't like all my powers really but there's a lot of different between me and you. You must've read in the letter that you're the most powerful fairy ever born after 20 years right?"
"Yes......right! But what does that mean? Am I like really that powerful? More powerful than you?"
"More powerful than any fairy."
"Wow! Am feeling good now. Won't that be fun? Like do whatever you want to do excluding the bad deeds and you know just be happy."
"It's not that fun. Especially for someone like you Anne. You're not getting this, you're the most powerful that means you're indestructible, it's impossible to kill you but you, you can destruct anything! They need you. They won't let you be on your own like all of us. You can't just let it be and enjoy but you'll be burdened under great responsibilities."
"What do you mean by 'they'?
"The protectors!"
"What?''
"Just like we humans are divided by different means similarly the fairies are divided on the basis of their powers. First the regulars like me; they're fairies who don't want to get into all these things. They just get their fairy diploma and then just live like humans and use magic whenever they feel like but to an extent. They cannot harm anyone, whether good or bad. Then there are the mediocres who assist the protectors, these are people who after getting their diploma want to be the protectors but they aren't strong enough to get that position and finally, there are protectors-most powerful fairies who want to protect the earth and work for the good of humans and destroy the black fairies. They can live on earth but only if there's a need otherwise they live on the fairyland."
"And which class am I in?"
"You're above all of them...you're naturally most powerful but they'll train you and make you determined to fight the black fairies and then this world will be safe!"
"Fine....so that's why you hate my powers only because I'll be separated from you?"
"No...no but there's something else a great loss!"
"What?"
"Time will tell you sweetie but right now you need to make a decision. Are you ready to save this world or are you gonna let it be and be a regular?"
In the evening while Anne was taking a walk in the garden she suddenly heard her mom screaming. Anne got worried and quickly ran back into the house.
What Anne saw was horrifying and amusing. Her mother was covered into a yellow colored, sticky and slimy liquid from her head to her toe...yuck!
"Mom are you alright?" Anne asked her mother.
"How do I look?"
"Terrible..."
"So help me out."
"Sorry...sorry..."Anne went forward and helped her mother clean out the liquid. "Aarghh!"
"I think I should better go to the washroom."
"But how did it happen? "Anne asked while following her mother to the washroom.
"I'll tell you." A voice interrupted.
Anne and her mother turned around to see who it was.
"Grand-mom!" Anne cried in delight and ran towards her and gave her a hug.
"Hey dear I told you I'll be sending you a parcel soon." Her grandmother told her.
"Yeah, but you didn't tell me that the parcel will be you."
"Uh..no I wasn't coming here but I sent you a magic parcel that was meant only for you to open but your mom opened it and look what happened to her. I got to know that someone else had opened it so I got worried and came her."
"Oh so you didn't know that it was mom who opened it?"
"No!''
"Too bad....if you'd known there won't have been any need for you to come here."
"Why is it bad?"
"Grandma it must've been tiring."
"Tiring for her...no ways." Said Mrs. Thompson "She's her but she hasn't traveled. She used magic."
"Oh I forgot that you're sorry we're fairies." Anne replied.
"Yes we're all fairies but that's different that your mom doesn't respect this fact." Said Her grandmother.
"Look mom! You know that why I hate this fact....you know through what hardships I've been and am still a regular fairy and am not the only one. There are many regular fairies and that doesn't mean all of them including me don't respect their powers!" said Mrs. Thompson angrily.
"Sure...there are many regular fairies and they don't disrespect their powers but they're wasting it including you! What use are your powers when you're not using it for the well- being of humans but only for yourself...it's a selfish thing."
"Am not selfish but those fairies are. All those who are pretending to be the protectors are much worse than me. What have they done all these years for the good of human kind? They've been at their position for so many years but none of them has been able to destroy a single black fairy. Except it or not each of the protector fairy is just there to have immortality! Am not selfish.... I am living a life of a mortal fairy and am not pretending to be who I can't be, am not pretending to do what I can't do'' Mrs. Thompson was cut off by her mother.
"Enough Emily... Enough!"
In the midst of all this fight Anne was the one getting frustrated.
"What is mom talking about grandmom?" Anne asked.
"Your mom is just out of her mind right now. Am tired where's the guest room?" Her grandmom asked.
"I'll take you."Anne replied.
At night when Anne, Mrs. Thompson and grand mom were having dinner Anne suddenly made an announcement, "I don't know what consequences it brings, don't know whether its good or bad but I've made my decision!"
"What has happened to you Anne? What are you talking about?" Asked Mrs. Thompson.
"Mom I've made up my mind. I am going to be a protector fairy.....yes!"
"But Anne----."
Mrs. Thompson was cut off by grand mom once again, "Am glad that you've taken this decision Anne."
"Wait a sec! Anne you still aren't aware of the reality.'' Said Mrs. Thompson with a worried expression.
"Does that make a difference mom? I don't think so cuz if it would have then you would have told me the reality by now." Anne said sharply.
"Look mom I think before anything else we need to tell Anne everything." Said Mrs. Thompson.
"But you can't......" said grand mom.
"Anne we'll talk about this tonight for sure."said Mrs. Thompson.
*********
After dinner when the dishes were washed with magic of course everyone sat in Anne's bedroom and started their discussion.
"So I want to know everything from the beginning and no more secrets."Anne told her mother and grandmother.
"Alright so listen Anne. To become a fairy one first has to get training to use her powers for a month in a fairy school. After completing her training a fairy gets her certificate after which she decides which class she wants to be in and if she wants to be a protector fairy she has to pass a test. If she performs well she becomes a protector fairy otherwise she becomes an assistant alright?"
"Ya fine....so if I'll clear all the tests and become a protector fairy than what would I have to do?"
"You are already a protector fairy my girl the only thing you'll have to do is getting a training that's all!"
"Ok! Then what would I'll have to do once I become a protector fairy?"
"You have to fight the black fairies and once you defeat them the human race will be safe!"
"But how are black fairies a threat to human race?"
"You know Anne these black fairies are incredibly powerful. This is a group of fairies who used to be good fairies but all of them were put in the assistant category and they didn't like it so they formed their own group and acquired black magic. Their only mission is to destroy the fairies and you know what is the biggest weakness of us, the fairies- its humans! We're here to save them and if they're in danger it's our loss. So they're presently on earth and living among us. They can be anywhere and anyone. So what we need now is to fight them and we alone aren't powerful enough that's why we need you cuz you're the most powerful fairy ever born after 20 years!"
Suddenly in the midst of their conversation the window of Anne's room crashed and strong wind started to blow. Everyone panicked when suddenly there was a black cloud in the room and a face emerged from it and said "We're back and we're powerful! Save your humans if you can!"
Anne reached her school and looked around. She was feeling really happy today. She went inside her school and saw her best friend rose standing in the corridor.
"Hey Anne happy birthday to you.'' Rose greeted her.
"Thanks a lot dear."
"So what's your plan for today?''
"Nothing special. I'll celebrate it with only you and mom." Anne said with a sad face.
"What happened? Today's your birthday and you're looking so low."
'Ummm.... What to say? I mean mom's behaving really strangely today and know what she hasn't given me grandma's letter even. I mean it's ridiculous. You know what she told me that grandma has forgotten to send me the letter."
"Maybe she's right. You know your grandma has grown old. She must've forgotten."
"No I know grandma very well. She can forget everything but not my birthday. I guess mom's hiding something from me."
"Whatever it is forget it. Today's your day and I don't want you to be tense at least not today alright?"
"Fine and I guess we're already late for our science class let's go."
Both Anne and Rose went to their class and after the school got over they met in the parking lot.
"So Rose you're coming at my place tonight alright?" Anne asked rose while getting in her car.
Rose came near Anne's car's window and spoke "Was that an order or an invitation.''
"There are no formalities so you can say it was an order.''
"Hmm.... Fine then I'll be there mam."
Anne laughed and bid goodbye to Rose and drove towards her home.
While Anne was driving suddenly her car stopped in the middle of the road. Anne got out of her car and looked at the car. One of the tire was flat.
"Oh god! Am so tired and I don't know how to fix this and there's no mechanic around. Ah! What to do now. I just wish I could do some magic."

Happy birthday
So you've finally reached the 17th step of your life. Hope you will/have enjoy/ enjoyed your birthday. I pray your mom has given you this letter {hey Emily (Mrs. Thompson) I know it's hard but Anne is supposed to read this} So Anne this letter isn't like any other letter and I know you must've known by now. You're special! I don't care what your mother thinks about these powers but believe me they aren't too bad as long as they're used for good like all of us did. Me ,Emily and even my mother we all had these powers and we've used them only for good purposes hope you'll do the same. Am not specially asking you to be good because I don't trust you but because I fear that the kind of powers you have may mislead you. Yes! Emily you are different. The kind of powers you have aren't like the powers that we had. They are much more powerful, intensive and destructive!
Now you may wondering what are all these powers right? So to start lemme tell you that you belong to a family of fairies...........yes we are all fairies the most powerful of all the supernatural things cause we don't need magical spells, potions, wands nothing. What we need is emotions. We can do anything if we feel that it should be done. A good fairy is the one who has good controls over her emotions.....like anger...if she doesn't control her anger she can bring destruction. Now to what extent that destruction would be depends on her powers. More powers more destruction similarly with more powers she can do more creations, healing too.
Now Anne you're the most powerful fairy whose born after 20 years. You've lived 16 years of your life like a normal person because it helped you to understand the emotions and suffering of normal human beings. Now when you're a fairy this experience will help you to make a wise decision and help all human beings who're in need.
Your mom hates this fact for a deep reason which I can't tell you but please love the fact that you're a fairy and don't waste your powers instead use them to remove all the evil form the world. You're a boon to this world. Please don't waste it. I can't write everything in this letter but I'll contact you in a special way. I'll be sending you a magical parcel soon alright. Till then enjoy your powers. And no matter how much your mother hates these powers I know that you must have seen her with all these weird expressions whenever you enter in her room unannounced right?
With love
Your grandma
"Yes she does granny." Anne smiled.
Chapter 6
Anne learns about what she really is in detail and fins out more about fairies.
Anne woke up the next morning with a very weird feeling. It was a holiday so she didn't care about dressing up. She just grabbed her comfort jeans and a cotton shirt and got ready. She brushed her hair and didn't care about makeup.
Anne went down in the living room and saw her mother arranging the breakfast table. Mrs. Thompson looked up at Anne and Anne felt that her mother's eyes were longing to ask her something.
"Good morning mom"
"Good morning Anne."
Anne sat down and grabbed a piece of toast and poured herself some orange juice. Mrs. Thompson sat in front of her and took a sip of orange juice and said, "Anne did you enjoy the party last night?"
"Of course mom...it was great."
There was a silence in the living room for a while, which was broken by Mrs. Thompson.
"Anne did you...did you read the letter?"
"Yes"
" What was there in it?"
"Look mom, I'll only bring up this conversation with you if you'll corporate and answer me my questions too."
"Anne this isn't simple. You're in a very complicated stage of you life right now and we need to discuss this. So tell me what was there in the letter."
" Well it was a very lengthy letter but I'll tell you the main point...........granny told me that we are fairies and we have some powers that'll help the humans and you hate these powers for a deep reason she didn't tell me and she said no matter how much you hate those powers I must've caught you in a horrid expression." Anne laughed on her last sentence.
"Well yeah! I do hate magic but I guess it's handy. I mean I've got the powers so I use it for a little household work that's all. Not for anything else."
"Hmmm.....so mom how do you do magic? I mean I don't know how to use powers?"
"Well I don't like all my powers really but there's a lot of different between me and you. You must've read in the letter that you're the most powerful fairy ever born after 20 years right?"
"Yes......right! But what does that mean? Am I like really that powerful? More powerful than you?"
"More powerful than any fairy."
"Wow! Am feeling good now. Won't that be fun? Like do whatever you want to do excluding the bad deeds and you know just be happy."
"It's not that fun. Especially for someone like you Anne. You're not getting this, you're the most powerful that means you're indestructible, it's impossible to kill you but you, you can destruct anything! They need you. They won't let you be on your own like all of us. You can't just let it be and enjoy but you'll be burdened under great responsibilities."
"What do you mean by 'they'?
"The protectors!"
"What?''
"Just like we humans are divided by different means similarly the fairies are divided on the basis of their powers. First the regulars like me; they're fairies who don't want to get into all these things. They just get their fairy diploma and then just live like humans and use magic whenever they feel like but to an extent. They cannot harm anyone, whether good or bad. Then there are the mediocres who assist the protectors, these are people who after getting their diploma want to be the protectors but they aren't strong enough to get that position and finally, there are protectors-most powerful fairies who want to protect the earth and work for the good of humans and destroy the black fairies. They can live on earth but only if there's a need otherwise they live on the fairyland."
"And which class am I in?"
"You're above all of them...you're naturally most powerful but they'll train you and make you determined to fight the black fairies and then this world will be safe!"
"Fine....so that's why you hate my powers only because I'll be separated from you?"
"No...no but there's something else a great loss!"
"What?"
"Time will tell you sweetie but right now you need to make a decision. Are you ready to save this world or are you gonna let it be and be a regular?"
In the evening while Anne was taking a walk in the garden she suddenly heard her mom screaming. Anne got worried and quickly ran back into the house.
What Anne saw was horrifying and amusing. Her mother was covered into a yellow colored, sticky and slimy liquid from her head to her toe...yuck!
"Mom are you alright?" Anne asked her mother.
"How do I look?"
"Terrible..."
"So help me out."
"Sorry...sorry..."Anne went forward and helped her mother clean out the liquid. "Aarghh!"
"I think I should better go to the washroom."
"But how did it happen? "Anne asked while following her mother to the washroom.
"I'll tell you." A voice interrupted.
Anne and her mother turned around to see who it was.
"Grand-mom!" Anne cried in delight and ran towards her and gave her a hug.
"Hey dear I told you I'll be sending you a parcel soon." Her grandmother told her.
"Yeah, but you didn't tell me that the parcel will be you."
"Uh..no I wasn't coming here but I sent you a magic parcel that was meant only for you to open but your mom opened it and look what happened to her. I got to know that someone else had opened it so I got worried and came her."
"Oh so you didn't know that it was mom who opened it?"
"No!''
"Too bad....if you'd known there won't have been any need for you to come here."
"Why is it bad?"
"Grandma it must've been tiring."
"Tiring for her...no ways." Said Mrs. Thompson "She's her but she hasn't traveled. She used magic."
"Oh I forgot that you're sorry we're fairies." Anne replied.
"Yes we're all fairies but that's different that your mom doesn't respect this fact." Said Her grandmother.
"Look mom! You know that why I hate this fact....you know through what hardships I've been and am still a regular fairy and am not the only one. There are many regular fairies and that doesn't mean all of them including me don't respect their powers!" said Mrs. Thompson angrily.
"Sure...there are many regular fairies and they don't disrespect their powers but they're wasting it including you! What use are your powers when you're not using it for the well- being of humans but only for yourself...it's a selfish thing."
"Am not selfish but those fairies are. All those who are pretending to be the protectors are much worse than me. What have they done all these years for the good of human kind? They've been at their position for so many years but none of them has been able to destroy a single black fairy. Except it or not each of the protector fairy is just there to have immortality! Am not selfish.... I am living a life of a mortal fairy and am not pretending to be who I can't be, am not pretending to do what I can't do'' Mrs. Thompson was cut off by her mother.
"Enough Emily... Enough!"
In the midst of all this fight Anne was the one getting frustrated.
"What is mom talking about grandmom?" Anne asked.
"Your mom is just out of her mind right now. Am tired where's the guest room?" Her grandmom asked.
"I'll take you."Anne replied.
At night when Anne, Mrs. Thompson and grand mom were having dinner Anne suddenly made an announcement, "I don't know what consequences it brings, don't know whether its good or bad but I've made my decision!"
"What has happened to you Anne? What are you talking about?" Asked Mrs. Thompson.
"Mom I've made up my mind. I am going to be a protector fairy.....yes!"
"But Anne----."
Mrs. Thompson was cut off by grand mom once again, "Am glad that you've taken this decision Anne."
"Wait a sec! Anne you still aren't aware of the reality.'' Said Mrs. Thompson with a worried expression.
"Does that make a difference mom? I don't think so cuz if it would have then you would have told me the reality by now." Anne said sharply.
"Look mom I think before anything else we need to tell Anne everything." Said Mrs. Thompson.
"But you can't......" said grand mom.
"Anne we'll talk about this tonight for sure."said Mrs. Thompson.
*********
After dinner when the dishes were washed with magic of course everyone sat in Anne's bedroom and started their discussion.
"So I want to know everything from the beginning and no more secrets."Anne told her mother and grandmother.
"Alright so listen Anne. To become a fairy one first has to get training to use her powers for a month in a fairy school. After completing her training a fairy gets her certificate after which she decides which class she wants to be in and if she wants to be a protector fairy she has to pass a test. If she performs well she becomes a protector fairy otherwise she becomes an assistant alright?"
"Ya fine....so if I'll clear all the tests and become a protector fairy than what would I have to do?"
"You are already a protector fairy my girl the only thing you'll have to do is getting a training that's all!"
"Ok! Then what would I'll have to do once I become a protector fairy?"
"You have to fight the black fairies and once you defeat them the human race will be safe!"
"But how are black fairies a threat to human race?"
"You know Anne these black fairies are incredibly powerful. This is a group of fairies who used to be good fairies but all of them were put in the assistant category and they didn't like it so they formed their own group and acquired black magic. Their only mission is to destroy the fairies and you know what is the biggest weakness of us, the fairies- its humans! We're here to save them and if they're in danger it's our loss. So they're presently on earth and living among us. They can be anywhere and anyone. So what we need now is to fight them and we alone aren't powerful enough that's why we need you cuz you're the most powerful fairy ever born after 20 years!"
Suddenly in the midst of their conversation the window of Anne's room crashed and strong wind started to blow. Everyone panicked when suddenly there was a black cloud in the room and a face emerged from it and said "We're back and we're powerful! Save your humans if you can!"
