Fairy Guardian - Alive Ch14

The sensation of floating in white clouds, blue skies, and a rainbow just in front of me. It was breathtaking. In a flash, my consciousness was being ripped to a place I hated going to. Must be dreaming. Suspended in the ceiling looking down at a young girl getting dressed for prom. Checking her hair. Making sure her makeup is looking a little naughty but not trashy. She is happy. The dress is light blue with silk fabric that curves her young frame. 

Pulling my eyes closed. No please. Don't make me see this again. Its as if I have no eye lids. The dream is in control not me. Scene plays out if I like it or not...

"I hate you. Truly hate you," words are slurred with nasty bite at every word. Drink is in her left manicured hand. The girl's shoulders stiffen. She looks at the mirror to see who spoke, "Excuse me mother?" said in a timid voice. "Don't play coy. Carson," almost falling as she enters the room and has to use the bed to balance herself. "You took everything away from me. Wipe that damn smile off your face. It disgusts me. If I have to be unhappy, you sure as hell are going to," trying to get to the young woman. 

Sidestepping to get out of the way to make her way to the door, the woman stops her, "You took him away. You took my life,' hiccupping her words and taking the last bit of drink. Tears started rolling down her beautiful makeup face, "I tried to kill you as a baby," the shock on the girls face was heart wrenching. Trying to put my hand up but remembering, I can only watch. No body to move in this dream. 

"Oh don't look surprised you spoiled brat. Your father loved me. Love at first sight. We travelled the world," sitting herself on the bed, trying to place the glass on the bed but it crashed to the ground. The woman stares at it, and continues, "that glass is my life. Shattered because ever method I tried to get rid of the pregnancy would not work. As soon I told your father I was pregnant," pausing and not truly caring the tears leaking down the young woman's face. 

"He never wanted me after that. Simply bought a house, and then he gets to still travel, and I am here stuck with you. At least I have your brother to love me," now getting off the bed on unsteady legs. The girl's tears were gone and a blank face remained. "You look ridiculous in that dress," mother tries to grab it. Girl to tries to get out the door, mother grabs the dress and it rips all the way done. 

Make the dream end. Please. Mother leaves the room, but turns once more, "Pick up that glass before you go anywhere." Closes the door and hearing footsteps leave. The girl collapsed to the ground in the fetal position. 

I feel someone shake me, and then a cool cloth on my forehead. Thank God. The dream ended but the sadness after that day lives with me every moment of every day. "Carson, wake up. Carson." The smell of cinnamon and smoke come with the voice. Mike. Opening my eyes slowly, looking up and seeing his face. No more hatred just concern. "Where am I?" Then it all floods back to me in a rush. One memory after the next until I get to the Whammy! Regina is alive. 

"She is alive Mike." 

"Who is alive Carson?

"Regina. The woman I told you about. Maybe I dreamed her." Taking my time to get to the sitting position, look around at the faces of the royal family. Hands go to my chest when I see the King. Is he going to kill me now? The most wonderful voice speaks, "I am right here Care Bear."

Turning my head and there she is but not quite looking like herself. Gone was at least 20 years of age on her face, skin that sparkled, long following brown hair, but the hazel eyes are still the same. Trying to get up to hug her but my head felt woozy. "Alfred move her to my throne char," the voice was less warm and fuzzy that I am used to.

Felt like soft hands take me and place me gently on the throne chair. Mind caught up to the fact I was sitting in the King's royal residence with the royal family and now sitting on the Queen's chair. Alice in Wonderland feeling. "I can't be here. I am human. A nobody," touching the little rose tattoo on my pinkie. Noticing actually, I do that a lot but before I could make two thoughts the memory hit. 

The woman at the beach. Telling me she placed me here to save the Fairy folk. What the actual heck is going on? Who is she? Why did she hide the memory? Why is Regina alive? and why am I not died already? Side note. Everyone here is stunning. I feel like that song, which one of these things don't belong with the other. 

My Regina is making her way to me. Tears leak down my face. I decide right then and there. If I came to this twisted place to just see her one more time, it was well worth it. Feeling like I can stand. We rush to hug each other. Crying, laughing, and talking at the same time. 

"OK Reunion over. Danintha, tell us why you are hugging the human," looking over to the red faced very angry man with clenched fist. Looks like he got his favorite toy taken away from him. Regina or Danintha turns me to face her, "Don't worry about Harold. Everything will be explained. Eventually, right now we have to set the royals straight on why you are really here." Gracefully moved her hand, "I will explain to all present.  Please take a seat." 

Moving to take my seat at the end of the table, she grabs me and point to the Queen's chair. Looking at the group and now full-blown hatred, curiosity, and something else. But not touching that right now. "Regina, I would rather sit down there."  Harold or the King, "You dare address the Queen with the HUMAN," he would have spit, "name."

Voilet mist came out of his hands so quick you may not have seen it but a bubble of blue, red, yellow, and indigo stopped it. "Harold if you do not behave accordantly, I will use my full force against you," saying it in a whisper but an electric shock went into the room.  Hair is standing up. "Now all of you sit. I want no magic spilled today," motherly voice of not wanting her children to kill each other. 

Taking my seat/throne just to get this over with and get out of this boardroom. Regina, Danintha, or Queen stood next to me. For my own mind, I am just calling her Regina until she says Queen will do. It would be too weird for me all of sudden call her something else. Addressing the group at large, and taking her hands to her stomach, "Carson is not just a human. She is my daughter."

Now everyone burst out of their chairs and started talking all at once. Except Mike. He just smiled at me. This is now our life. Smiling back at him, and catch Hal looking at me then at Mike. Once the stare was at me, it made me press myself to the back of the cool chair. It was not a love look but betrayal.

My brain did not take in her words right away. Crazy laughter escaped my mouth. Her daughter? Regina's daughter? Like, make-my-life miserable is not actually my mom but her. Daughter. 

My head looked her way until she looked at me, telling her in a whisper, "What? You're my roommate. I mean. I consider you a. A motherly figure. But You know. You know, I am had the wicked witch for a mother." Smiling she pats my hand, then address the group, loudly the room shook, "Silence. Sit!" 

All did as she commanded except the King, who stood towards the back of the room. "Then tell us how this," waving dismissably at me, "could possibly come from you. Your barren." Room looked at him than back to Regina. 'When we first fell from the stars. I loved it here and wanted to explore all that it had to offer. So, both of us wanted to not have any children. We watched as the magic spread through the land and grew the fairies right from the very roots of earth. It was beautiful." Taking a breath and walking around the room, waving her left hand a indigo fire made a movie screen appear all around the room. Being in 4D theater to best describe it. 

Scene of the stars falling, Queen and King rising from the magical ashes, the magic following to all the corners of what was earth at the time. Creatures of all kinds sported into living beings, some look more humanoid and some kept their shape. "When we came down it also brought him with us. You cannot have light without dark. Stars do not shine in a bright sky. Shadow King was also born from us." The man in my nightmare came to life on the screen, except he looked a lot less angry want to kill everything. 

"The Shadow King was fine to stay in the shadows until you wanted children. When he learned of your plot to make children out of our magic, he became obsessed with making his own creations. And the Shadows were born,"  Screen showed fairies being consumed by shades around them. Until the shades took all the light or magic within them. Wanting to turn my head away but wanted to honor what was being shown. 

"Harold, I made a deal with the Goddess Sophia. If I would have her child, then she would grant me the blessing of being barren." Seeing the woman on the beach, with her short black hair, white robe and tiny self. How could someone with that much power be so small. I guess small packages can also make a punch. Goddess placed the child within Regina. "Never wanting a child and then having one inside of me, changed me. I regret my rash choice to not have children. But the deal was done and there was nothing I could do to change it. Its why I agreed for you to have children with the five women." 

Now seeing the woman, Helena having Hal. Tallia walking around the grass. Vian riding a black beast. Mike being placed in the fire station baby safe. Where was Anna? Regina took a deeper breath, "The Goddess came to be right before Carson was to be born, she told me if her daughter would be born now, she would be in mortal danger."   Walking to a place toward Harold and placing her hands in his. 

Could see the love and respect the Queen and King shared had through their touch. "This will hurt you Harold, and for that I am sorry. The fate of the Fairy realm very existence was on the line. If I uttered a word, fate would know and my daughter would die." A scene unfolded, a baby coming out of Regina and flash comes over the child and another baby is born. You could tell by the color of their hair. One child had brown hair and child had white. The next is my mother giving birth and the room stills for a second, a flash is scene and I am born. 

Taking her hands away from Harold and moving behind Anna, the rooms still. We all know. Just know but my heart is hurting for so many reasons. "I was told the human child would play a very important role and needed to be saved at all costs. Your child that you had with Crimson died and it gave me the perfect opportunity to place Anna within her womb." The boardroom went back to normal. Anna looked more perplexed than angry. Are we sisters? 

"I never really had any magic?" Anna stated in a matter-of-fact tone.  Regina turned Anna's chair around and knelt down beside her, one hand went to her knee, "At your birth, I gifted you with some of my magic and you within the womb of a powerful elemental so some of her magic was also given to you." 

"Ok. Story time over. What does she have to do with being here?" Resigned and put out King. 

"Well first she has to get married?" Regina turns with a bright smile to me.
