20/05/12 We're on the move again, and Storm's leg has healed up so I can ride her. You know, thinking about it, this has been the first time I've ridden a horse. According to Charlie, I'm a natural. It's nice to be complimented by someone for once. The roads are getting narrower and the sky is getting darker the closer we get to the town. Cities have turned to forests and wild traffic has disappeared into nothing. Nobody will tell me what's going on and it's getting on my nerves. Tonight, when we stop, I'm going to talk to Heather. Hopefully, she'll know.
21/05/12 She didn't. Either it's a big secret that everyone is keeping from me, or, nobody actually knows what's going on. I mean, does it always rain in towns only inhabited by 'others', or is it like a curse or something? My clothes are sopping wet and my hair is a mess. In all the rush, I forgot to pack a hairbrush. And guess what? Faerie hair is impossible to cut! Just my luck.
23/05/12 Oli's been trying to teach me to fly today. Apparently, I'm hilarious. Heather, Willow and Jade were in hysterics throughout the whole session. But, I suppose, a tall, lanky, almost out of proportion, faerie who looks like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards, flapping her arms about frantically, could be pretty funny. He looks so graceful in the air, dancing and gliding. Nothing like me. I didn't even manage to get off the ground. He said that I'll get better with time, and that he's been flying for three years now. Because he's the same age as me, that means he changed when he was twelve. Wow. That's a lot to take in for a twelve year old. Just imagine it. "Hey, your life's pretty messed up right now, what with school issues and everything, but you know what? I'm going to mess it up even more! You're a faerie!" I think if someone said that to my twelve year old self, I would break down and cry. Either that or slap them round the face in disbelief.
25/05/12 Oh my goodness! I'm going to be a bridesmaid!!!! Gywn and Charlie are getting married in early July!!!! It's so exciting!! Yay!!!
26/05/12 Mmm... I do look like I was a bit hyper yesterday. That's most probably because I was. I still am. :) Gywn's ring is so pretty, silver ropes intertwining, set with a small diamond and sapphire. She's been talking about it non-stop, and I feel really happy for her. Admittedly, the whole 'talking non-stop' thing is a bit annoying, but, I'm still really happy for her. We're still travelling, and (hopefully!) we'll be there next week sometime! I know Mum doesn't care about me, but... Well, I'm nervous that she might follow me. I mean, where else is a group of 'others' going to go? She knows where this town is, and I'm scared she'll come and take me away. I don't want to leave.
28/05/12 Had another flying lesson today. Went... Um... Okay. In the worst sense of the word 'okay.' I was doing fine, you know, flying and stuff, until I fell. Just kind of... Fell. I remember feeling so free and alive, then Oli said something like "Well done!" and I got distracted, lost my balance and ended up tumbling to the ground head first. Now, I'm lying by the side of the road/trampled grass route, being looked after by Willow, who, as it happens, is an excellent healer. Unfortunately, she's had to tie herself to the tree, to stop herself from eating me. (by the way, it's the full moon) So, if I did suddenly feel sick, she wouldn't be able to help me. Actually, most of my life has been like this. People supposed to help me, unable to because of some reason. Like having 'their image ruined'. Like my mum. That's why she wouldn't look after me. Because she wanted to look 'cool'. I hate her.
