Friday's Story

 THE GIRL WHO WENT INTO WAR

 

Chapter Six

The opened coupe was just wonderful. It was like a little garden with its small bushes, wild grass, gorgeous flowers and mini trees. The coupe lied between the kitchen coupe, where the cooks worked, and the dinner coupe where the food was served. There weren't a lot of people here and it seemed really strange to me because this place truly was just brilliant. I could feel the wind rumpling my hair and before i could understand it, the shy boy Nate had caught a strand of my hair and put it behind my ear. I thanked him because if he hadn't done that, the strand would have probably ended up in my mouth and I hate it when it happens.

" No biggie," he said and turned away to catch a fuge from the mid-air. It amazed me how quick his hands were. " Here, take it," he smiled and put the fuge into my opened palms.

It was so beautiful. I think that it was a he, because I had heard, that male fuges have slimmer and more graceful wings. This fuge's wings were shiny purple and silver coloured. They swashed slowly, catching the air so I had to hold it from its legs so it couldn't fly away. It was astonishing how similar they were to us- humans. I would call them fairies, but they really don't look exactly like them... they are some kind of a mix of fairies, goblins and fenghuangs- this strange mix made them look mysteriously bewitching. The fuge, who was now calmly sitting in my hand, looking up to me, was beautiful.
 Luke and Nate stood next to me, staring over my shoulder at the creature in my palms. Then Luke started singing:

 " Picture yourself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, a girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone...."

 Luke was singing, he was indeed singing a song from The Beatles. And without any doubt I heard a tiny voice coming from the creature in my palms and it sounded like silver- so pure this voice was. My mouth fell open when I listened to the sound of Lukes and the fuge's voice melting together.

 I got chills running all over my body.
