I woke up trying to adjust the light entering my eyes. I was trying not to panic by seeing, half panicked and half relaxed faces of the people surrounding me, of course my dear friends.

"Ath oh my dear i am so glad you are fine. I got worried sick" it was Amyra who spoke first.

"Yeah actually she just stopped crying now after you passed out and A...... I mean you did not wake till now." Zayll quickly tried to cover not trying to say 'Armelle' but well i already know what he wanted to say.

" I am fine guys . Just tell me where is Armelle" i asked them. Of course i was not gonna believe that stupid dream.

Everyone's expression changed to utter guilt and sorrow. I looked towards Asher who had been silent till now. Now come on i need some explanation.

"I am so sorry Ath but , but Arm.....Armelle is ,is dead" it was Amyra who replied . I could see tears leaving her eyes.

"NO YOU ARE LYING. EVERYTHING IS A DAMN LIE. I know that dream is fake please just tell me she is fine."

I first shouted and then cried saying these words. I looked towards Asher.

I could make out he knew something.
"Asher",
he looked towards me . He was crying. Which is seriously more rare than spotting unicorns .
He nodded . (No please Asher . Don't nod.)

He stepped towards me and hugged me to comfort me. "I am sorry Ath but she is dead all because of my carelessness." he whispered in my ear.

I hugged him back and cried some more. I could feel my heart ache for now i will never be able to see my Armelle.

GODS

Wasn't she too young to young too die.
Well did she even deserved to?

Asher continued patting my back till i was done crying. I looked towards my friends . The only people i can trust right now.

Since my parents have gone to a business trip and wont be back till next month i thought i could party and enjoy but now i feel different. I dont know how will i answer them about Armelle.

I feel sad, responsible, grateful (for friends) and helpless.

"Okay guys lets plan a funeral. I don't exactly know Armelle but i guess she is the most wonderful senior in our school so the funeral should be good no matter how small and without parents it is." it was Zayll who broke the silence. He looked uneasy by seeing me and Asher hugging. No why would he.

Nevertheless i nodded on his suggestion.

The funeral was small but was good we all talked about how awesome she was. We just went to her room and prayed for her rested soul. We did not involve any priest or something as ,if we would, we will be bombarded with questions.

Well I could now actually sense the part i have lost forever. I Could seriously feel my heart ache every second of my life.

Well you realise the value of something only when you loose it.

After the funeral we were all too hungry so we went to the kitchen to find some food. Time passed very quickly, it was 2 pm by now.

"Wow how come my barren kitchen has a two storey cake " i exclaimed with sarcasm and shock.

"Its your birthday present by all of us"
Zayll replied. Well i could not hide my first grin of the day. We had some cake after me and Zayll cut it together( i told him to as he was the one who bought it). And had some Mc donald's.

"And wait i have this too for you" Amyra came rushing towards me , handing me two parcel. One had her name on it while other did not say anything.

"Whose is this from?" I asked Amyra pointing towards the un-named parcel.

"Oh! This one is from Armelle , i suppose. I found it lying on her desk with 'Happy birthday Athelena' written on it. So i guess she wanted to give it to you." Amyra replied sadness encompassing her eyes again.

I took the parcel from her and thanked her with a weary smile. I quickly opened Armelle's parcel.

It had a beautiful bracelet in it and a piece of paper with something written on it . By now everyone was too interested to know what that parcel had so i started to read it aloud.

"Dear Athelena,
If you are reading this then I am sure i am dead as i would not have given you this paper if i were alive.
Please dont cry , I am always with you no matter what happens
I always wanted to give you this bracelet as it always reminded of you to me and now it will remind you, me .
Keep it with you always .
Maybe I will be able to communicate with you through this.
And yes the dream you saw was real.

Happy birthday princessa.
Keep her safe Asher, Amyra and the other guy.
Choose friends wisely.

Good Bye
Armelle."

Almost every eyes present in the room were numb by tears. I quickly shoved the bracelet to my wrist.

So the dream is real and I am a pixie.

"So Asher is it true you and me are pixies" I still wanted to confirm.

"Yes Ath you and I are pixies. And i think Zayll's too but i doubt about him I don't exactly know what he is."

I nodded oblivious to the fact that Zayll looked confused and Amyra a bit annoyed. Maybe she also wanted to be something.

"But wait what do you mean by you are not sure about Zayll" I asked him.

"See i a pixie who already has powers clearly get to know who is a pix and who is not. But our Zayll has a strange aura of power. I cannot make out clearly . But i bet he is a pix not a remun. Remuns aren't human born. By the way when were you born Zayll?" Asher answered and asked today.

Zayll got shocked by the sudden question for him.

"Ah I? I was born today 16 years before" He replied.

"Oh so you and Ath/I share the same day" Ash, Amy and I exclaimed and then wished him.

Oh i am so glad i let him cut the cake. Isn't he sweet that instead of celebrating his birthday he helped us.

Suddenly the sky roared and we heard thundering. We all looked through the door but it was not raining so to see what was going on we went to the garden.

The sky was clear and the faint super blue blood moon was visible.

We all looked towards it to glance its uniqueness. Then suddenly a strange light was directed towards me And uhm let me see.. .. Zayll

"So its time they receive their power" it was the last thing i heard from Asher telling Amyra before the light took over my body and i felt coldness and hotness taking all over my body.

My body was burning and freezing the same time and a mild pain from two points on my back could also be felt.

Someone in my mind asked me,
"Who do you trust from the three"

"All the three" i replied and then suddenly felt myself being sucked into something.

I felt myself fall with a thud .
I carefully and slowly opened my eyes.

I was not in my garden anymore.

Wherever i was , was a very beautiful place . The sky had stars glowing very brightly. There were beautiful ,glowing flowers and magnificent trees.

I saw my friends moaning and getting up and experiencing the same shock as me.

The three looked normal but the faces they made when they looked towards me indicated that i was not normal.

"Ath look at your wi....wings" it was Amy who pointed something behind me. She gave me a mini makeup mirror.

I saw the reflection of an unusually pretty girl with two magnificent wings of blue and white glowing in the darkness. I gasped by excitement

"Welcome to the pix realm" Asher said to us but before we could ask him he exclaimed with fear and said,

" Wait Zayll you dont have wings no you cannot be what i think no that is not possible.Nooooo"
