It Was a long time ago in a far off forest. A Young lady fairy,named Petal, was fetching water for her mother until and young elven man,named James, came apon her. Geting ready to attach and kill her as he had planed he stopped and looked into her bright blue glassy eyes and dropped his soward and climb off his black stead and kneeld down infront of her, To shocked and scard the young fariy stood there as he pleaded to her.
"Oh young fariy, Your beautie has overwhelmed me!!Please marry me and become my wife!" He looked so sincere as he said this to her. She smiles and helped him up. "meet me here tomarrow noon time we shall see how worthy you are to marry me...though I dont think many will approve of it" she smiled fluttering off. "I swear on my mothers grave!"he shouted as he mounted his stead and galloped away. The young man came back just as he had promised and so did the young fariy but her eyes where filled with tears her wings torn to shreds he rushed yo her side picking her up and placeing her appon his stead. "what has happened my love?" he asked softly tears in his eyes. "they disowned me. tore my wings away"she sobbed. "aye. my family aswell...but, we shall live our own happy lives and have little children...we will live peacefully in the forest just us.." he smiled as the rode off. It had been 11 years now, Since Petal and James had run off. They had a son,named Caleb, who was now 9 years old, and a daughter, named Ellen, who was only 6 and a 1/2. The family was outside as it was turning dark Ellen had been tucked into bed and Caleb had been off careing for the horses with his father while Petal did laudry at a near by stream. Suddenly Caleb and his fathers head snapped up as they heard Petal scream "Caleb! get your sister! hide in the forest!""Now I say!" Ordered James. Caleb ran into the house and woke up Ellen and quickly rushed her out of te house and into the forest they climb a tall tree not to far form there house.Then they saw something terible happen. They could hear there mother screaming in agony as well as there father they hear it for hours then saw their father killed...hung in in the stables, The men who had attacked kept their mother for their selfs, the two children hear them take her over and over until they killed her aswell they left her in the house and burned it down. Caleb had seen the whole thing he knew what had happened but little ellen was still to young to understand, and she had fallen asleep in calebs arms, he soon followed. Many years passed, Caleb and Ellen grew older and where continualy on the run from people who didnt like there diffrences, Ellen was now 13 1/2 which would make Caleb 15, and he was deathly ill within a few months caleb had died and Ellen was now to try to fend for herself alone. Again Years passed, Ellen was now 17 and on the run she had made a few friend on the way a few taught her how to sew so she sold her clotheing for money for food and board untill they found the truth about her and through her out onto the street. She had traveled a few days and found a small lake with a waterfal and behind it a cave which she had now made her new home, She lived there for several months she had made herself a cloak so she could go to taverns for food. one day a man had begun to chase her and she ran and hid inside a tavern and looked around to make she he hadnt followed her in and she took a seat quietly and began to cry. Near by a young man turned his head as he heard her cry and made his way slowly to her table and sat down and smiled kindly. "Miss, May I ask why your crying?" He asked kindly. She looked up at him and whiped her eyes quickly. "I'm just sad is all...well..someone what chaseing me but id rather not talk or you might be the next to do some" She said getting ready to leave. "Please, tell me maybe I can help? It will do you good to talk I wont harm you" He said with a sincer look on his face. She looked at him and simled desideing to stay. "Well all my life ive been chased because of what I am, noone likes me because im diffrent than them" She sighed. "How are you diffrent you seem normal to me" He said softly. "Well you havent lived like me...my mother and father are dead and so is my older brother I have no one and im always on the run...because im a fairy elven mixed...noone likes my kinda and they didnt like my parents when they where married" She sighed crying softly. He moved closer and touched her cheek. "Shh..Don't cry it will be alright" he said caringly to her. "How do you know your perfict compared to me" she said whipeing her eyes. "I am far from perfict...Im blind...I was born blind" he said and smiled. "oh..Im sorry.." she said."No, Please dont be sorry" she smiled kindly at her. "Now...please, tell me about your self?" he asked "ive been alone for so long. and running and everything..." she carried her story on for nearly an hour. He softly touched under her eyes and her cheeks feeling how damp they where and how sad her face felt" tell.. How many times have you cried with no one to wipe away your tears, around a corner or behind a closed door?" he asked. "many times..." she said and sighed. "don't worry I will be here for you" he smiled. She smiled back to him. So how he felt diffrently than most people she had talked to in the past. He was kind hearted and sweet not to mension just looking at him made her heart race. The two of them became friends very quickly meeting always at the tavern. Until oneday he desided to show her his shop he owned and which he worked at. "Here. This is my Shop. It's not much but it's warm" He said smileing as he walked in and to a work bench knowing exactly where it was and began working.She smiled closeing the door behind herslef. "Make sure you close it tight and close the wooden covers, theres going to be a storm tonight," He said as he grabed a peice of wood and a small knife and sat in a large round chair with a fluffy cousion. "There's not going to be a storm its a sunny day outside," she said shutting the windows."Thats why I said tonight," He smirked looking in her direction.She giggles and curled into the chair with him smileing. He smiled back and put the small peice of wood and small knife on a side table and wraped an around around her holding her close. She blushed and curled closer to him smiling."Your so kind to me..," she smiled closeing her eyes slowly doseing off. He smiled kissing the top of her head. "Ya..you too..,"he said soon following her. The two had fallen asleep quietly but with in a few hours Ellen was suddenly awoken by a large crash and jumped. It was dark in Kalin's shop only little flashes of lights could be seen though the cracks on the shop's windows and loud crashes of thunder echoed she clushed onto the closest thing to her, which was Kalin. He woke rather startled and smiled pulling her closely. "Shh. It's Alright just a little thunder...your safe here..," He said softly covering her with a throw blanket.She smiled cuddleing with him then looked into his face and the lightneing just barely lit his face. She smiled again and touched his cheek softly with her finger tips and trailed them across his lips.He blushed and smiled touching her hand gently taking her fingertips and kissing them gently before placeing his hand softly on her cheek pulling her close to his lips kissing her gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him back smileing and blushing. They stopped and giggled softly and then blushed "Ellen...I've fallen in love with you," He said softly. She blushed and smiled laing her head on his chest softly closeing her eyes. "I have to..," she spoke softly and doesd off.
