All That Seemed To Be True
A twisted farie tale, by Yuma
(At the end of this story there is a quote, the longest quote in this story, and at the end,it is in red, I want to let readers know that quote is an actual quote my boy friend said, I just wanted to give him credit for his words)
Once there was a farie named Ziggy—a not so normal farie, for she could not fly, she was not happy and joyous as the others were. She isolated herself from the other faries. They would always tease poor Ziggy and say “hey Ziggy come play with us…oh right you cant fly! Ha! What faire cant fly!?!” the elder faries never did anything about it, not even her own family.
One wet day, after a summers rain, the faries once again went out to play. Ziggy, however just sat on a leaf and wonder what lie beyond her forest ‘home”, when all of a sudden a water droplet from a higher leaf came crashing down, knocking Ziggy from her leaf. She hit the ground hard, as the other faries just pointed and laughed at her. While lying on the ground in pain she noticed a strange vibration and noise, footsteps… “Hey guys I think someone is coming!” she said as she struggled to sit up. “Don’t be silly darling, no human has been in the Farie’s Woods for years!” The noise seemed to get closer, and she saw a dark figure in the distance growing closer as well, until it was right above her. The other faries hid deep within the bushes.
The man walking nearly crushed Ziggy, just before he took another step she let out a loud shriek. The man looked around in confusion. “Down here!” Ziggy screamed. The man looked down and picked Ziggy up gently and placed her in the palm of his hand. The man stared in disbelief. “Who are you…better yet what are you?” he asked. “My name is Ziggy and I am a farie” she responded. “Alright, I have gone insane! Or I know I must be dreaming!” he said. “No sir, I can assure you, you are not insane, and you are not dreaming either.” She said. “I must be, this cant be real! Ok fine how can you prove I’m not dreaming and that your real?” he responded. Ziggy looked down at the man’s hand, then bit down hard. “Ouch! Ok stop! I believe! So you’re a farie correct? Then why are you on the ground? I thought faries were supposed to be able to fly…” he said. “I am on the ground because I fell, and I cannot fly like the rest, sorry to disappoint you” she said sarcastically. “Why can’t you fly?” he asked. “ I am broken” she responded. The man paused before he responded. “Broken? Really? I see nothing wrong with you” he said with a comforting grin. Ziggy smiled back. “I don’t believe I caught your name sir”
“ I apologize, my name is William.” he said. “Well sir William what brigs you to these woods? No human has set foot in these woods for over fifty years.” She said. “ Well you see, a have a new home, close to town and I seem to have lost my way.” He said. “Would you like me to help you find your way?” she said. “Why thank you, that would be very helpful of you.”
They made their way back to his home in no time. Despite the fact that Ziggy had never left the forest before, she found her way with no problems, for faries have an exceptional since of direction. When they got to his house William thanked Ziggy for all her help. Ziggy explained she did not fit in with the rest of the faries, and how they teased her. William felt bad and offered Ziggy a place to stay.
From that point on they grew closer to each other. But both thought it would be silly to confess how they really felt seeing as they were so different. One night it came into the conversation that faries and humans were actually quite similar, despite size, color…and wings. “So can faries ever become human?” William asked. “Well yes but it is very complicated” she said “you see, for a farie to become human she must fall in love, her lover must rip her wings of, and feed her his blood to turn her golden blood red like a human’s.”
William could not stop thinking of what she said. He had to say something. So he did. “ Miss. Ziggy?” he said. “Yes?” she responded. “Ummm…I—I think I’m in love with you” he said. Ziggy stared then said, “Than shall we…?” “If you love me then I will make you human. Do you trust me?” William asked. “Yes, I do” Ziggy said.
That night Ziggy laid waiting for her life to change. Then just like that he ripped her wings off. Ziggy let out a horrible scream. And her body began to change. Her golden blood ran down her back where her wigs used to be. Quickly William cut his arm open and fed Ziggy his blood. Then Ziggy’s blood ran red. Her skin tuned pale, her eyes jade green, and her pink hair blond with just a few stripes of color in the front. She was now human.
William stared at Ziggy’s new body, just thinking of how beautiful she was. When Ziggy awakened a few minuets later after fainting she could not believe it. She was really human. “Thank you, this is what I have always wanted…just to be someone else,” she said. “ I love you and I think you are beautiful, farie or not”
Later that night when Ziggy was fast asleep William took a frame and preserved her wings within the glass and added it to his now collection.
Morning came and William was off to work, leaving Ziggy all alone. Ziggy wandered about the house, getting used to her new human legs. She came across a closet door she had never seen before. She opened it up cautiously, there were frames piled high. She picked up the on the top. She was in shock. Those were her wings, stacked in the closet with all the other farie’s wings. “Liar!” She left the house screaming and crying. She ran far away wandering through the woods surrounding his house. She made her way to the riverside where she smashed the frame of her wings, taking out a piece of the broken glass. She dug the glass deep in her wrist. “What happened to all I thought was true? And what happened to the golden blood I used to love?”
William returned home to find no one was there, he spotted the closet opened and knew what had happened. “No! What have I done!?!” he yelled. He piled up all the frames outside and set them aflame. “Please come back my love! I made a mistake! Please come back!” some how, Ziggy heard his cry and came to find him. The two argued. “Look what you did!” Ziggy said holding out her bloody wrists. “I never meant to hurt you please understand. I messed up, I know but you mean so much to me…please I think I found true love this time!” he pleaded. “What is true love?” she asked. “Love is what we have, true love is something we have to earn. Either way I’m not leaving your side if you wont leave mine…true love is something untouchable, a bond between two people with feelings like they have for no other, true love is what two lovers gain when they endure being away from each other and over come things they cant do by themselves. That’s what I want to have with you, true love, and possibly build a future life with you.” William said “please forgive me” “please don’t break me” she said, “I promise, never again, I will always be with you”
The End
