Here is my first story on the blog. I wrote this during Mar to June 2020 when I was home during the pandemic.
Malena and Silvia
Chapter 1: The missing princess
There was once a fairy kingdom and it was very beautiful. It was surrounded by big green trees that protected it from the outside world. All the little fairy houses were very colourful and were painted with all the colours of the rainbow. The streets were the colour galaxy and had sparkles paved into them. The castle was big and pink, with big white doors that had pink handles. It had one tall tower in the middle and two smaller towers on each side. A handsome king and a beautiful queen lived in the castle.
One fateful day, the queen named Marian, gave birth to a beautiful baby princess named Malena. She had beautiful blue eyes and pretty purple hair. She wore a cute little pink dress. When the whole kingdom was celebrating and Malena was taking a nap in her crib, an evil pixie named Evilyn stole the little princess! Evilyn was an evil pixie with long black hair with a red streak across the centre, a black and red dress and dark brown eyes. She used to live with all the other pixies in Pixie land. But she was so evil that they banished her and she was left living all alone in a bog. The king, queen, and guards heard the baby crying. They ran upstairs as fast as they could. But, the princess was gone......
Chapter 2: Silvia
They looked for her for a very long time but, they had no luck. The princess was stuck in a little house on a bog with Evilyn for a long time. The house was on a giant Lilly pad, surrounded by water and other water plants. Growing up in the bog, the princess made a lot of friends like frogs, dragonflies, spiders, ladybugs, etc. The princess knew she was royal, except Evilyn kind of lied to her. She told Malena that she was her actual mother and they lived in a castle before. Then the king turned mad and banished them and took over the whole kingdom. When Malena first heard that story she didn’t know what her actual life was supposed to be like and she didn’t know that Evilyn wasn’t her actual mother. She believed everything that Evilyn told her.
One day the princess got a message from one of her little bug friends. “Princess, there’s something you should see.” said the little bug in an urgent voice. “Be very careful.” said Evilyn squeezing Malena’s arm tightly. Evilyn let go and Malena went to see what was going on. They walked away from the bog toward the trees. Then she saw a little pink ferret with a design of light blue and white stripes on her body. She was entangled in a web of vines hanging down from a tree. “Oh you poor thing.” said Malena in a soft voice. “Help me, help me!” said the ferret. “Ouchie Ouchie my leg hurts!” cried the ferret.
“Dragonflies, you go around the top of the tree and untangle her there. Frogs, you untangle her all around the bottom. I’ll untangle her around the middle.” They got the ferret untangled and Malena saw that the ferret’s leg was broken because it was wrapped around in the vines too tightly. All the creatures helped Malena carry the ferret. “What’s your name?” asked Malena. “My name is Silvia.” said the ferret weakly.
Chapter 3: Malena and Silvia
Malena took Silvia straight back to the bog and all her little friends followed them. “Mother, we found this poor ferret whose leg is broken, can we keep her until she’s healed?” “Fine.” said Evilyn. “Oh thank you, thank you!” said Malena happily. Now what Malena didn’t know at the time, was that Silvia and her were going to make some great memories together.
“Malena!” cried a salamander “You better come see this. Now you might get disgusted but, what can I say.” “Coming!” Malena hurried back to where she had left Silvia and saw Silvia’s foot was really, really, really broken. “Oh no!” said Malena. They wrapped Silvia’s foot and put a splinter so that she can heal as fast as she could. “Oh thank you, thank you! You’re all so kind, no one ever really cares about a very rare ferret like me. You are all just so very kind indeed!” Said a vert grateful Silvia. “You’re welcome.” said Malena in a sorrowful voice. Silvia thought to herself, “Huh? Why does she sound so...sad? I wonder what is the matter?” Silvia was very confused. She didn’t know why Malena was so sad.
“Um...” Silvia started, “what’s your name again?” “Oh me?” asked Malena. “Yes you.” said Silvia. “My name is Malena.” she said to the ferret. “Oh well, Malena, can I ask you something, in private?” she whispered. “Why are you so sad?” Malena answered, “well, it’s because when we carried you to the bog...” Malena started, “I quickly asked my mother, Evilyn if we could keep you until you’re healed.” “So?” asked Silvia. “So, I said until you’re HEALED, not forever. And that means some day you will have to go when your leg is all better.” Malena said in a very sad voice. This made Silvia sad, because she was hoping to stay here with her new friends. “Well what if I said that I didn’t have a home and that I was lonely? Would she let me stay then?”
“Oh Silvia, I know you have a family and a home.” said Malena. “But, but, I want to stay, because... well because, you are the one who saved me and you just made my life so much better. Please, let me stay.” Begged Silvia. “Um, I’ll try to ask my mother again. I bet she’s going to be furious.” said Malena to herself. “Yay!!!” Malena flew to her house to ask her mother. “Um, mother?” “Yes deary?” said Evilyn. “Can... can?” Malena stuttered. “CAN WHAT deary?!” yelled Evilyn. Malena was so scared, “Can Silvia stay with us forever?!” She asked very fast. “Uh, uh.” Evilyn stammered. “Well uh, no. She’s a ferret honey, and I don’t want to take care of a PET forever! It’s too much work.” “Well how about I take care of her, and promise to do it very responsibly?” said Malena. “NO!!!” Evilyn was getting mad and it wasn’t very good, she was bringing her inner evil out.
“UGGGGH!” Malena cried all the way to her bed. I think she was feeling Evilyn’s inner evil, and that was not good at ALL. Silvia had limped her way to Malena’s house when she heard Evilyn shouting. She found her way into Malena’s room and found her crying on the bed. “What’s wrong this time Malena?” said Silvia curling up into Malena’s bed. “My mother is the worst ever. She won’t let me keep you! She’s... she’s...” She trailed off. “Evil?” Asked Silvia. “Yes.” Said Malena. “Well that actually could be true except, she let you keep me until I was healed so, maybe she is not that bad?.” “Wait, what do you mean that could be true?” “Well, I heard this story about a fairy princess in the fairy kingdom,” Silvia started, “And she was stolen by this evil pixie named Evilyn, and that’s the same as your mother’s name!” “Well it can’t be a coincidence because, she’s been mean to me almost my whole life, and she mostly seemed evil.” said Malena. “Whooooa! Wait, so that means you’re the fairy princess of the fairy kingdom!” said Silvia in astonishment.
Chapter 4: The truth revealed
“All my life I just knew it!” Malena said in a rage. She knew her whole life that Evilyn was evil because Evilyn yells at her a lot. Unlike a normal parent, she yells for the weirdest things. For example, say someone found a lost dog or a bunny and they took it home. They would ask their parents if they could keep it and they would say, “Um, um... sure!”, (maybe). But Evilyn wouldn’t, she would just straight up say no like what she said to Malena about keeping Silvia.
Malena flew out of her room to find Evilyn. “Deary, deary, what’s the matter?!” said Evilyn. “YOU, uggggh!” Malena screamed. “What do you mean deary?” “I know your scheme, I know that you stole me from my real mom and dad! And now I know that I’m the fairy princess of the fairy kingdom!” said Malena. “Well deary...” said Evilyn. “Looks like you caught me.” she said in an evil voice.
Malena had a mad look on her face, and just then she turned away to leave. But, as she was leaving Evilyn grabbed her and put a cloth with something on it that made everything black for Malena.
Chapter 5: Where is Malena?
Meanwhile, Silvia was looking for Malena outside. “Malena, Malena!” Silvia was shouting. “Ugh, where is that girl?” Then Silvia went inside cause she couldn’t find Malena outside. Silvia looked all over the place and she still couldn’t find her. She also couldn’t find Evilyn. “Hmm...” Silvia said. “Well where did I last see Malena. Oh! I remember! She went marching to find Evilyn, cause I told her that story. And I heard some talking, so that must mean that they were talking, but then it stopped!”
Suddenly Silvia looked as if she knew where Malena was, and it wasn’t a very good face. “Oh no!” said Silvia. “Evilyn must have taken Malena somewhere, but I don’t know where!” Suddenly, Silvia heard something. “What’s that noise? It sounds like it’s coming from underwater!” She looked at the water and saw something down in the pond, and there were lots of bubbles coming up from the water. Silvia dived in the water so fast all you could see was a pink, blue, and white blur. And she did it to save her friend because Silvia saw that it was Malena in the water! Evilyn had tied Malena up so she couldn’t swim. Silvia saw underwater that Malena had been tied up so she came back up from the water and ran as fast as possible to the house. She grabbed a small knife she found and went back in the water to cut the rope that Malena had been tied with.
Then Silvia helped Malena out of the water. “Thanks for saving me Silvia.” said Malena panting. “No problem Malena. Now let me ask you a question.” “Ok go ahead.” “Did Evilyn put you underwater all tied up and everything?” asked Silvia. “Yes she did. Ugh I can’t believe I’ve been living with someone evil like that my whole life!” “Don’t worry Malena, it’s ok. Hey I have an idea!” said Silvia. “What?!” said Malena curious of what the idea is going to be. “How about we try to find the king and queen of the fairy kingdom and tell them the whole story!” “Wow, that’s a great idea Silvia!”
Chapter 6: Sam and Silvia
“Um Malena?” “Yes Silvia?” “Do you know where the king and queen’s castle is, do you even know where the kingdom is?” Silvia was starting to worry. “Don’t worry Silvia, I know where the castle is and the kingdom.” Then Malena pointed to something from across the bog. Far away in the distance on a hill you can see a pink building and it looked like a castle! So then Silvia knew there was nothing to worry about because all they had to do was go straight toward that castle. “Ok I think I’m ready.” said Silvia. “Let go!”
So off they went very excited to see the fairy kingdom. They had not gone too far when suddenly they met someone who looked a lot like Silvia! “Who are you?!” asked Malena in astonishment. “Oh no!” Silvia thought to herself. That someone was a purple ferret, with aqua green and white stripes. He looked a little mad. “Ugh Silvia, mom’s gonna be so mad, so it’s a good thing I found you!” said the ferret. “Sam! Ugh!” said Silvia. Malena on the other hand had no idea what was happening. She didn’t know how Silvia knew Sam the other ferret, and she didn’t know what they were talking about! “Uh Silvia, who is this and how do you know him?!” Silvia sighed. “Malena, meet Sam...” Silvia stammered. “M...my...my brother.” “Silvia, you have a brother?!” “Yes. An annoying one too.”
Silvia had this mad look on her face like she didn’t want her brother to be there. “Now I can take you home so I don’t get a beating from mom.” said Sam. “Well I don’t want you to get a beating but I also don’t want you to be here. Me and my new friend Malena are trying to do something important and you’re in our way Sam.” “Well if you don’t come back home Silvia, then mom won’t know you’re ok, she’ll start worrying, and take you back home forever. Do you want that to happen or do you want to help your friend here?” “Ugh fine I’ll come with you.” said Silvia. “Good.” said Sam. “But Silvia!” said Malena sadly. “I thought you were going to help me find my real parents!”
“Oh don’t worry Malena, I will help you find them but if you want me to help you I have to go home first.” said Silvia. She was really getting mad cause she really didn’t want any interruptions on this journey. “Wait, will I be staying there for a long time Sam cause then I have no time?” asked Silvia. “No.” said Sam. “We’re just going to stop by at home so mom knows you’re ok.” “Oh good. So it will just be a little stop at home ok Malena, nothing to worry about.” said Silvia. “Ok.” So Sam and Silvia headed to their house and Malena followed, just to see where they lived and to see how long it was going to take.
Chapter 7: Meeting the Ferret family
When they made it home, Sam opened the door and Malena saw a red ferret with pink and white stripes. “Oh darling you’re back! Now I know you’re safe and sound.” “Hi mom.” said Silvia. “Sam can we go now?” Sam was about to say something when someone interrupted him. “Hey wait! Don’t leave yet!” Then Malena saw a gray ferret with black and white stripes. “Um Silvia, is that a skunk?” asked Malena in a whisper. “No, that’s my dad, not a skunk. But if he were a skunk, mom wouldn’t let him in the house.” Silvia chuckled.
“Hi honey! Say, where were you all day?” “Dad you know I was just taking a walk.” “Yeah I know.” “But while I was walking I got stuck in some vines from a big tree. And my new friend Malena helped me out!” Then Sam moved aside so Silvia’s dad could see Malena. “Hi.” Malena said shyly. All of a sudden Silvia’s dad came running to Malena and hugged her so tight. “Oh thank you, thank you, thank you for helping my daughter!” Then he hugged Malena even tighter! “Ok dad that’s enough.” said Silvia.
“Now can we go Silvia?” “Yeah. Ok everyone, me and Malena have to go now on an important mission, I will see you soon.” “Bye honey!” “Bye darling, be safe!” “Bye sis!” Said her family, as they watched her walk away down the road with Malena.
Chapter 8: Reunited at last
Malena and Silvia left, off to continue their journey. After a long day of walking, they finally made it to the fairy kingdom, without any other distractions. “We’re here!” Malena said. They went up to the castle door and knocked. The latch on the door made a loud clanging sound. Then somebody opened the door. He had a big, furry, green hat, a blue coat with red buttons, and black pants. The girls could tell that he was one of the guards.
“Who goes there?” he said in a deep voice. “I’m Silvia and this is my friend Malena, the fairy princess.” Silvia winked. The guard gasped. “Uh, hold on a minute, I will be right back.” he said. He went back inside the castle and closed the door. The girls started to get nervous. A moment later he came back... with the king and queen! “Your Majesty.” said Malena bowing down. “Uh uh... your Majester.” said Silvia. The king and queen were confused and Silvia started to sweat.
“Um sorry about that your Majesty’s, this is my best friend Silvia and I’m Malena.” “Oh hello, we had a daughter who was named Malena.” said the queen. “Well that’s the point.” said Silvia. ”This is your long lost daughter.” Silvia pointed to Malena and the king and queen looked at Malena with their mouths opened wide. “Is this true?” asked the king and queen. They stared at Malena in disbelief. “Um well yes.” said Malena. “And how are we supposed to know this is true?” asked the queen. “Do you know the name of evil pixie who stole your daughter?” asked Malena. “Yes.” said the king and queen.
“Was it Evilyn by any chance, spelt E-V-I-L-Y-N?” “Yes it was!” said the king and queen in astonishment. “Well Evilyn was my mother, well my pretend mother.” “Well we still don’t have enough evidence.” said the king. “Not much evidence, not much evidence!” said Silvia. “My friend here is definitely your daughter, she has purple hair, and is exactly like your daughter.” The king and queen looked at each other and then at Malena. They looked into her eyes and they knew it right then. “We have proof.” said the queen. “Oh honey!” said the queen hugging Malena really tight. “My daughter, I missed you so much” said the king joining in the hug. Malena hugged them back with the biggest smile on her face, while happy tears rolled down her cheeks.
Chapter 9: Where is Evilyn?
“We need your help in capturing Evilyn and taking her far away, where she can’t hurt anybody, for good.” said the king, after he finally let go of hugging her. “Well do you know where she is?” asked the queen. “Um no, but we have to try to figure out.” Said Malena. “We need clues, traces of her. Honey is the famous detective in the royal guard available?” asked the queen. “Maybe. I might be able to call the royal council and maybe they can tell me if he’s available.” said the king. “Well then,” started the queen, “let’s start making some calls. Call everyone you can think of, the council, the townspeople, anyone and let’s see if they can tell us something.” said the queen. “Yes ma’am.” said Silvia excited to help with the search to capture Evilyn and bring her to justice. Then, everyone started to leave, but as they left the queen grabbed Malena by the arm and hugged her so tight. “I missed you.” she said in Malena’s ear. Malena smiled. She let go and Malena left with Silvia. The queen stayed back in the castle so she could call some people.
The next morning Silvia came back to the castle, “I couldn’t find anyone.” Then the king came behind her and said, “I couldn’t find anyone either.” But, Malena didn’t join them. The queen thought she was still out looking, but she started to worry. All of a sudden, Malena came rushing through the door and said, “I found someone!” “You did?!” said the queen.
“Who did you find?” asked the queen. “I found someone who says he is the best detective in the kingdom.” said Malena. The king and queen looked at each other. What Malena didn’t know was that there was another detective in the kingdom who says he’s a good one because he’s actually not. But what the king and queen didn’t know was that this was someone else, someone good. “Well,” said the queen nervously, “where is he?” “Follow me.” Malena said. She lead them to a grimy, old alley between two old buildings and the road was right in front of them. People passing by were wondering where the royal family were going.
“Here is where he said to meet him.” Malena said. The king and queen were not so sure about this. “If this is the bad detective,” the queen whispered to the king, “we will put him in jail.” “Ok.” said the king back. “So where is he?” Silvia asked. “He should be here by now.” Malena said. Then a dark figure came out from the shadows. He was wearing a dirty bronze hat, a dirty bronze coat, and dark sunglasses. He came into the light and took his glasses off. “I’m detective Florian.” he said in a dark voice. “I’m Malena and this is Silvia, the Queen, and the King, my parents.” “So you’re the lost fairy princess? Welcome back miss.” the detective said. “Now what do you need help with?” he asked. “We need help finding a villain.” Malena said. “And who might that villain be? the detective asked.
“Evilyn, the evil pixie who stole Malena as a child.” Silvia said. The detective gasped. “She’s still out there somewhere!” Malena said. “I will do my best to find her and bring her back to the castle your majesties.” Said the detective.
