Passing through the circle, she was transformed.
She stood up slow.. or, did I..?
I hadn’t realized what happened.. I felt like I wasn’t even me, that I was someone else..“Her.” Or..“she”? Just not me.
This body was unfamiliar to me. The lightness I felt as I took each step. This feeling between my shoulder blades that I couldn’t begin to understand. I felt something brush against the back of my legs, and with that another feeling in an unfamiliar place never known to me before, still unseen.
I walk a short distance and feel my feet trying to leave the ground… There was a breeze at the back of my neck, and I felt something about me moving, some part of my form unawares to me. Next thing I knew, I was in the air.
I took a look back, but my whole body shifted, and I remained seeing only forest. I took a step on air and moved forward 10 strides. I got this feeling that I knew what it was; I could hear it, but was still unsure.. or maybe just unwilling to believe… I continued.
I found myself finally looking into a reflective surface, and I see them. I see ‘me’. I am no longer who I was, in any way. Even my insides felt different.
A new dress, new shoes. A crown of daisies on my head. Hair turned bubbly blond, skin made soft and fair. Flawless. Or almost…
A scar unseen. Hidden within the body. I felt my soul fragmented. But my emotions were no longer mixed or confused. Only my thoughts on how I should be taking this.
Mom… will you miss me? I want to tell you, but I know you won’t believe me.. So how can I go home now? When I know that I would now only frighten you, and make you worry about what happened to me..
I know you won’t believe me, Mommy, but… I’m a Fairy now.
