"Aurelia Ravensage, if I have to call you one more time you'll wish you were born to plant pixies."
"I'm up"
Monday mornings were worse than getting a simple spell wrong in front of the hottest fairy guy in the land. Mom had been out of school to long to understand. "Ellie, hurry up, I need help with my spells, you promised." My younger sister Hazel always wanted help with her spells and enchantment. A plant pixie family didn't sound to bad. I groaned as my mom shouted another threat at me. With my wand in hand I stood in the mirror and planned my outfit.
No.
Eww.
What the ambrosia?!
Magical!
The long gold dress with heels to match went perfectly with my gold eyes, long brown hair, and caramel colored complexion. My rust colored wings completed the image. You'll make all the fairies in the land stare. Sadly, I'd have to put a glamour on my wings to hide them at school. We had humans at our school and some of them freaked when they saw things like wings on fairies, or fangs on the vampires, or claws on the werewolves. Honestly werewolves creeped me out anyway so I could understand that rule. "Ellie are you ready yet?" My sister whined. I used my "fairy on the wind" spell to appear in front of her and my mom. I grinned like a sprite getting its wings. "What do you need help with?" My mom and sister were staring at me in all their autumn fairy garb. Hazel looked like a younger version of me only with hazel eyes, my mom had my eyes with jet black dyed hair. They were both wearing kimono style dresses that were a little below the knee with leaves adorning the sides and around the bottom, they wore gladiator sandals that came up to there knees. Since mom still dressed Hazel she dressed them the same with the one spell, Hazel hated it, but there was nothing she could do, except learn the dressing spell.
"Was that the fairy on the wind spell?" My mom asked. "Yea, we learned it last week."She nodded. "You are doing well considering how many hexes your teacher sends me." I shrugged like I was clueless.
At my fairy school, whenever we got in trouble our parents were sent hexes, I always ended up glitterfying my teachers so they glitterfied my mom. "Mom, I listen in class." Hazel snickered. "Hey dust fairy, you need my help." Hazel's hazel eyes welled up. Oh no. A single tear slid down her cheek, but that was enough. BOOM! Lightning struck just outside our kitchen window. "Apologize to your sister this instant." My mom yelled as the plants outside bursted into flames. "I'm sorry, Hazel." Hazel tugged on one of her pigtails. "Will you help me with my spells now?" I nodded. The storm stopped. Whenever Hazel cried, lightning struck so we always tried to keep her from crying.

I helped her practice until it was time for school. By the end she could cast three new spells and one hex. "Bye mom, bye Hazel, remember it's all in the thoughts." I used my extreme wing enchant to fly to school faster than my car. Bad idea. No amount of fairy dust could stop me from flying. Someone opened the front doors to the school to let me through. What idiot? For the love of magic, I couldn't stop. "Aurelia, stop!" My best friend's voice was a shout into the void. How long was this school? Crash! I slammed right into the wall and fell to the ground. "Ellie, are you ok?"

My eyes opened to a very worried looking water fairy, my best friend, Columbine Reedfly.

We had been friends since we were sprites, before we even got our wings.We did everything together, until she'd found her soulmate. Now I only saw my bestie whenever I messed up a spell, so I still saw her everyday.

Her aqua colored wings were nervously flapping as she fussed over me. Her matching eyes were checking my body for any wounds. "I'm good but I'm pretty sure I can't fly for a while. Can you drive me home?" She sighed in relief. "Sure, I just have to tell Jake so he doesn't worry." Jake's face appeared above me then. "Extreme wings?" Columbine nodded in response to her soulmate's question. He was a fairy as well. Most fairies got fairy soulmates, a few weren't so lucky and would end up with a vampire or mermaid or a werewolf. A chill went down my spine. When the time came I prayed to the fairy godmother that I wouldn't get a werewolf as a soulmate, or at least he'd be accepting of me. "Aurelia, are you going to lay here all day like a tree fairy?" Columbine asked. She and Jake pulled me to my feet anyway. The bell rang. "If I hadn't have hit the wall I would have been on time." We all snapped as if to say "oh darn" then laughed. "Get to class, and hide those wings" We all glamoured our wings. "Sorry Ms. Zerona" Ms. Z nodded before leaving us in the hall. "Aurelia we have a test today, you promised not to be late." Said a passerby. A puzzle in my mind snapped. "Crap Mr. T is gonna kill me, bye guys I'll see you after school." I ran to first period only to find the door to be locked. I slammed my fist on the door until someone opened it. All of my reflexes were off and my fist slammed right into that person's face. He cupped his hand around his nose in pain. "What the-" "Language Mr. Adalwolf." Mr. T came up behind the Adalwolf kid to check to see if I'd drawn blood. Seeing how some of the vamp kids were sniffing the air like puppies, the answer was yes. "I'm so sorry, I panicked and my reflexes aren't working right, I just hit a wall if that makes you feel any better." A few kids laughed. "Ms. Ravensage can you take Mr. Adalwolf to the nurse, and stay in the office to speak with the principal if you don't mind." Mr. T must have forgotten that I wasn't a plant pixie and I cared about being kicked out of class. "I do mind Mr. T, come on I just hit a wall, cut me some slack, I could have gotten a concussion, I just wanted to get to school on time, please don't do this to me." His brown gaze avoided my gold one, he knew what looking into my eyes could do in times like these to normal humans like him. "You have been late everyday this week and now you have injured one of my students, the principal should have a chair for you in his office, now go." I considered moving in with some pixies. "My mom is going to de-wing me, please don't do this." The class exploded in laughter. I showed them my golden finger. "Go Ms. Ravensage!" There was a loud pop next to me. Mr. Adalwolf had just reset his nose. I was going to be sick. "Let's go, Mr. Adalwolf, there's blood getting on your shirt." A few vamps perked up. I rolled my eyes and led my victim away. "Did you say you had wings?" He asked once we had walked away from the class. "Yea, I'm an autumn fairy in training." Adalwolf didn't like that very much, seeing as how his nails slid out. "What's wrong, don't like autumn fairies?" Adalwolf growled. He was a werewolf, and he was angry, and we were alone. Oh no. "I hate fairies." I jumped back at the anger in his tone. He's going to kill me. The principal wasn't going to get that visit. "Why?" My voice was a little squeaky. "That's none of your business" He growled. Forget my mom, he was going to de-wing me. "Sorry for asking." He spun on me and pushed me at the lockers. His dark brown eyes were burning, his nails had grown and were poking me in my arm. Oh no. He wasn't going to kill me, but the law probably would. He was my soulmate and he hated me.
