It wasn't long till I found myself back in the old cabin on a hill. It all feel's real, but... something, was different. "Mom?" I shivered as I looked up the crooked steps leading to her bedroom. A light glowed from under the door, and then. Pitch black.

I woke to the sound of my buzzer. "Was that... a dream?" I asked myself, "It all felt, so..." dead silence entered the room as I realized. I ran out the room, darted down the steps, and into the kitchen. the smell of beacon and waffles filled the air, bringing my body. lessening the tenseness. "Are you ok, sweetheart?" a familiar voice asked me. I looked up, relived to see my mothers warm, smiling face. "yea, just a little... star struck, I guess!" the knocking on the door was the only sound that filled the room. "I'll get it!" mother exclaimed. as she opened the door. she fell to the ground. Red liquids pouring out of her lower abdomen. I get a flash back from my nightmare. "Mom?!" I get startled as I reach for the door. the light was an angel. it looked up at me, and smiled... wait, that's not a smile... that's a smirk! it's face melted away as its smirk went away. it turned into a demonic form I only seen in fairy tales! "What have you done to my Mother!?" it backed away as if it were scared, of me. I looked down at the locket mother gave me at 5 years old. it was glowing a bright light, blinding me. when it faded. the demon disintegrated into thin air.

Then I woke to find myself in a wagon. Who knows how long its been. Minutes, hours, days? I look up at the blinding sun. Smell of dryness. I coughed and look around. "what happened?" then I remembered. my first day at a new school, my mom was preparing breakfast and there was a knock at the door... I look as though I just saw a horror film come to life. in a way, it had...I mumble "witch one of you took my mothers life?" my face covered in my short stringy hair. my face Is blank... I never thought of the day I would loose my mom to three idiots in a pick up truck. "Shut up back there!" the driver shouted from the driver seat. I keep on telling myself "its just a dream... ITS JUST A DREAM!" I finally shouted.

Then... I woke up with a gasp. I ran downstairs again, to hear my mom scream. I ran to her room... the light was under her door again. "MOM?MOM?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I ran to the end of the hallway where my moms door was. Scared, I opened the door. There was nothing... like. NOTHING! no bed. no carpet.... No mom. "MOM? MOM WHERE ARE YOU?!" I'm struggling to get the closet door open. "WHY!? WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!"

"Charlie?" my mom said calmly. she was standing at the open door.

"MOM! I THOUGHT I LOST YOU! I THOUGHT I..." I was cut off. I looked at her face... she was different. her eyes, as black as the night sky. her razor sharp teeth... bearing in an unpleasant, crooked smile.

"what's wrong, sweetheart?" her smile disappeared like a magician, doing one of those disappearing acts.

"you're not my mom." I whispered, backing up. I tried to run. but she was in front of the door.

"What do you mean? I'm right here in front of you." she looked very concerned.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MOM?!" I'm making a fist with my hands to my side. she looked down at them.

"look kid..." her body morphed into this beautiful figure. Its eyes still black, the skin turned blue, her smile was so warm, and comforting. And she had fins! "Who, or WHAT the fuck are you?" the creature looked at me smiling even brighter. And her teeth shined.

"I'm Skyra... I'm a Faerie." she had the sweetest voice. like a shore line of the gulf.

"Hello Skyra... umm, I'm Charlie. I..." she cut me off.

"Yes. I know your name. now, no time to talk! we need to go. NOW!" she looked at me once. Before I could say anything, a blinding light shown. a door appeared and she took my hand. we walked through the door. it was a long stair case, on the edge of a wall. it had a bottomless pit on our right. I'm scared of heights..."don't let go of my hand." the faerie told me.

"Why shouldn't I?" I was closing my eye's. the faerie's grip tightened.

"Because, you'll be lost forever in this cave." she said it so calmly. I opened my eye's and looked at her. Then I looked at the pit. gulping down, I kept up with her.

"what is this place?" I asked hastily.

"this is faerie tunnel." she looked at me with only the left side of her face." This is how faerie's transport!"

"C-can y-you at least t-tell me why, or where w-were going?" I stuttered a lot... but I'm AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!

"we are going to a secret location in the Bahamas. someone needs your help." I looked at her Blankly.

"My help? Why me?" I looked at her dark eyes as she looked at me.

"You are capable of great things, Charlie." I had a flash back. that's the same thing my mother told me that all the time. I hugged Skyra tight. I didn't wanna let go... tears strolling down my face. she turned into my mother, and hugged me even tighter.

"see? you can see me under my glamour! you can do amazing things!" I backed off wiping some tears, and looked at her strangely.

"What's a 'glammer'?" she laughed and took my hand again. we walked through a door at the bottom of the steps, entering a Ally way "Is this the Bahamas?" she took the form as my mother again. and we walked out of the ally. The streets were all empty. No sound except the calling of crows. fields deserted and newspaper flying. one of the newspapers landed on my face. I looked at it and stopped dead... the cover. "Vampire Attack on Little Old Carnes town." my mother appeared next to me shaking her head. she put her hand on my shoulder. "What happened?" I looked at her with her darkened black eyes on me. "it appears the vampire's in section 7 have escaped..." In no time. she pulled out a device and tapped it, through it up into the sky. it floated and made a signaling noise. she took my hand and we went through another portal. into a white building. a woman came up to us. "There you are!" The human hugged my mom, and I stepped behind her in shyness. "haha! and who's this cutie?" she sat on her knees and held out a hand to me. "Name's Nicole." I shook her hand and she stood back up. "Nicole. This is my son. Charlie, say hi." I didn't say a word. "ahhh. yes. skyra told me so much about you. your father was a great man..." I stared a little. Until I busted. "YOU KNOW MY DAD?!" she smiled and stood. "Of course I do dearie... after all. I was your mothers maid in honor at there wedding." She flipped her lush, red hair and winked at me. "be careful though. there are some sketchy people around here!~ don't wanna get you hurt now do we?" she pinched my cheeks so hard my face will be red for weeks. And what's up with that baby voice? I'm not a child.
