A tulip of a different color

Chapter I

Once upon a time... almost all fairy tales start this way in some mysterious, magical land, almost all except this one.

A fairy once fell in love with a human and had a child who when she discovered she was a fairy left her human life and tide all ends to it living for the fairy world she left everything to her mother including her infant daughter. All her life she lived with her grandma she had no friends, and taught her parents were dead, well her dad was but she didn't know that her mother was alive, seeing her grandma was banished from the fairy world after choosing love over her duties she was forbidden from speaking about it to anyone, her name was Eclypse. Every fairy is born from a single tulip flower. Then they are adopted by older fairies who take care of them...So every fairy is tied to a tulip. The fairy tulips are indestructible the only way they can wilt is if its fairy dies...every fairy has her color and is named after it.

Even Eclipses mother and grandmother. Her grandma is Violet and her mom is Prisma all fairies had one color all except Eclypse even if she had no idea about all this she had a tulip too even though she wasn't born from it... her tulip was in a flower bed of others there just a few yards into the forest behind her house. Every fairy's color was the same as her tulips and all the fairy tulips head one color all except Eclipses. Her tulip was black and white...but she wasn't only different in the fairy world her appearance was even more astonishing, she had pitch-black hair to her knees, no matter how frequently she cut it seem like it grew a foot every night till it got back to its original length, eyes blue as the sky or green as the deepest forest, but witch it was, no one could tell like they were always switching, her skin was pale as if she were a ghost. She was shorter than most girls. Everyone thought she was shy but no one took the time to listen to her though in class she would show her real self talking non stop everyone would forget they even spoke to her in a couple of minutes but all that aside she always knew she was different ever since she can remember odd thing would happen to her like plant pots falling or stuff shifting but as she grew older she would convince her self she had just imagined it or that there was an explanation. But then one Sunday everything changed. It was her birthday she was turning 13, she made a small chocolate cake with her grandma and they celebrated it together afterward she went for a walk, on her way back to the house she heard something whimsical almost like someone was whispering in her ear but she just brushed it off saying it was a gust of wind, but then just a few moments later there it was again feeding her curiosity and pulling her towards it with every passing second, she was more and more drawn to it like it was calling her name... she finally gave in and started walking in the direction of the sound. She went off the road into the thick forest going thew lives and bushes... finally she arrived at a small clearing full of tulips, each one a different color every except one in the center not like the rest that was in groups a strange tulip stood alone, the others were all a specific color only this one wad black and white there were no others like it, Eclypse felt drawn to it like it was calling her she cautiously went over the flower to get a better look at it, but her edge still wasn't satisfied. She gently tucked the first glance gentle flower but it was as hard as stone, suddenly she saw a flash of light come from beneath her and she blanked out.

The next thing she knew was she was in her bed, she stood up could it have all been a dream? She went downstairs and saw her grandma sitting with a woman crying, rushing over she caught the glance of the stranger that stood up and looked at her strangely. She asked how she was feeling and went around her, but when she got closer Eclypse felt something .. she didn't know what it was but she felt different.She could tell something was up by the look on her grandmother's face but she wasn't sure what exactly...she felt scared and angry, and as she confronted her emotions she felt a warmthin her hands, as she panics looked down her hands were on fire but when she got a better look she was controlling it but still panicking started throwing her hands around but the lady just took her hands in hers and the feeling stopped the lady turned to her grandma with a raised eyebrow, her grandma signed looking at Eclypse and said she will go to a new school with kids more like her.Eclypse was still confused from the combustion in her hand from a minute ago, and now she's going to a new school this was her worst birthday so far.But it didn't stop there as her grandma told her shell be going to a boarding school that was torn slid down her cheeks, feeling helpless and angry her hands lit up again but this time it wasn't a small controllable flame, it was a fire the flames started consuming her, her once blue eyes turned orange dancing alongside the flames.As the seconds went past she felt more and more tired like the Fyre was draining the life straight out of her as she was about to give in to the feeling the woman from earlier reached in and pulled her out, as she was elected from the flames she almost fainted. Snapping out of that feeling only seconds after being pulled out she fell to the ground looking straight into her grandma's eyes begging for an explanation. But as Violet was about to utter the truth she went mute. The lady was annoyed at the helpless situation and just uttered the word,,  fairy ,,Eclypse burst out laughing but soon realized that that was no joke as no one else was laughing.Now full aware it was no laughing matter she lashed out at the lady next to her, who even are you, tears stopped by the flame started again,, what do you want from me,, she stared at them helplessly.The woman gave her answers straight to the point she was cold not giving her any empathy for her frustration.,, My name is Astra, I am the caretaker of the school for magical creatures, and you, you are the fairy with no control over her magic,,Eclipse's jaw dropped as she heard those words. Being magical would explain all the things happening to her but those creatures appeared only in fairytales and they were tiny. How in hell could she be one.But it didn't stop there...as she was collecting her thoughts her grandmother hugged her and said goodbye and before she knew it she was going threw a circle of light and then she was standing outside, in a courtyard full of kids...,, Welcome,, Astra said with a cold voice,, The headmistress will be waiting for you, now come along.,,They took a few steps and Astra stopped her,, A barrier protects us from outside, visitors, give me your hand,, she asked and put her hand out, Eclypse did as she said, Astra placed their palms on the barrier a couple of seconds passed and it glowed green,, Your DNA is now added to the system you can come and go as you wish,,
