Amy suddenly yelled from behind Blue. Tensing up almost instantly and dropping her spoon to the floor, flinching as it clattered on the tile floor. A two tiered, chocolate cake was set on the table next to her while her mom pulled a chair up next to her. "Happy 19th birthday sweetie," her mom said again with a gentle smile. Blue bent over and picked the spoon up off the floor before her cat, Casper, could try to get a hold of it. Smiling gratefully, she set the spoon down away from her bowl of cereal. "Thanks mom. The cake looks great," she said as she glanced at it again. Looking back over to her mom, she saw tears rimming her mom's eyes, a surprised look flitting over Blue's features. "Mom? What's wrong?" she asked, concerned.<br/><br/>Amy, her mom, shook her head that it was nothing before she gave a small cry of happiness. Wrapping Blue in a tight hug as she squeezed her daughter to her body. "Oh my Blue..You'll be moving out tomorrow..It just seems too soon!" Amy sobbed into Blue's shoulder. Blue couldnt help but laugh softly as she pulled away from her mom slowly, handing her a tissue. "Mom. Mom, please stop crying. It's not like you wont ever see me again," Blue tried to reassure her mom as she watched her dab away the tears and sniffle. Laughing quietly, Amy nodded and looked at her daughter with a smile. "I know.. I know. Im just gonna miss my sweet little girl," Amy said softly then ushered her to blow out her birthday candles. Exactly 19.<br/><br/>Blue smiled at her mom before turning to her cake, leaning over to blow out the rainbow colored candles. Picking all 19 out of the top of the cake, Blue got up to throw them away and get a knife to cut the cake with.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Blue pulled on her black converse high tops and grabbed her white jacket before she walked over to the back door. "Im going for a walk mom!" she yelled into the house so her mom could hear from the kitchen. "Alright!" was her mom's faint reply. Stepping out onto the back porch, Blue looked around their very big, open backyard. In fact, their yard went on for several miles in each direction. This is because they lived out in the country where everyone knew everyone and nobody ever bothered anyone else. Jumping off the porch, Blue walked out further into their backyard, the woods bordering the far side of the clearing that surrounded their house.<br/><br/>Amy had always told her to stay out of the woods, even though their property went on for another three or four miles back in the woods. A gentle breeze ruffled the leaves in the trees, the tall grass tickling her legs as it lightly brushed against her skin. Blue closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air deeply before letting out one big sigh. Opening her eyes again, something flashed at the edge of the woods, catching her attention as she quickly turned her head in that direction. Another flash of light had Blue making a bee-line for the woods, all warnings about how dangerous it could be in there forgotten.<br/><br/>Two more flashes had Blue jogging up to the edge of the woods, coming to a stop as she peered inside. Farther back, another flash caught her attention. It seemed as though the flashing was purposely running away from her. Hopping over the bush that stood in her way, she grinned like a little kid as the flashes of light grew closer together and started floating away from her. Instead of walking after it with caution, Blue took off running after it. Suddenly, two flashes were drawing her attention, the two flashing lights side by side as they only sped up their flight from her. Blue picked up speed until she was weaving, jumping and ducking easily past any obstacle, as if she knew the woods like the back of her hand. In reality, Blue had just been born with unnaturally quick reflexes. Zeroing in on the first flash of light that she had originally started chasing, Blue leapt over a bush and at the same time propelled her body forward. Reaching out as far as she could, her hand closed around the flash of light as her body crashed to the ground.<br/><br/>Rolling a couple of feet before she ever came to a stop, Blue sat up quickly and eagerly looked at her loosely closed fist. Slowly, Blue opened each finger until she could see what was laying in the palm of her hand. At first, she rubbed her eyes several times, not believing what she was seeing. Maybe she was still dreaming, so she pinched her arm to make sure she wasnt. The pain was there for certain, so that could only mean she wasnt dreaming. In her hand, there was a small..human it looked like. With wings that glimmered softly in the very little sunlight that was able to break through the thick canopy of leaves above them. Very carefully, Blue bent over closer to the ground and tilted her hand towards the top of a mushroom. The tiny, human-like thing slid out of her hand and landed softly on the mushroom. It stood only about three inches tall as it studied Blue while Blue returned the studying gaze. "Are you a fairy?" she whispered quietly to the human-like thing.<br/><br/>It nodded and even gave Blue a smile as it reached out towards her. Blue pulled back a bit, not sure what it was trying to do. The fairy jumped up, its wings coming into use as it flew up to her shoulder where it landed. Blue tried her hardest not to knock it off her shoulder, a common reaction whenever something tried to get that close to her. Suddenly a soft, high-pitched voice whispered in her ear. "Welcome Blue Valentine. We have been waiting," the fairy said to her.<br/><br/>Blue gasped and turned her head to look at the fairy but the fairy leapt from her shoulder, flying up into the leaf canopy above. "Wait!..What..do you mean?" Blue started to yell but she let her voice fade till it was only a murmur. Looking around herself, she suddenly realized that she wasn't in the same forest she had originally started in. These trees had white bark with soft, glowing green moss growing from its tree trunks. Blinking lights glimmered all around the small clearing she sat in, almost as if she was being watched by hundreds of fairies. And she was soon to find out, that she was being watched by many more than just fairies.
