Lessons learned Another Way
or The Making of a Fairy
by: Donna Allyson
-
Prologue: Jane Ashley was a kind, considerate and very devout woman. She had
tried constantly to infuse those same values into her two children. With
Janet, the older of her two children, she had succeeded admirably, not so
with Jake. Her younger child.
Jane had married her husband Sam some twenty years earlier. Their son Jake
had been born near the end of the third year of their marriage. Their
relationship had gone sour shortly after Janet's birth. Sam had been laid off
from his job and had taken to drinking heavily out of self pity. One evening
on the way home from the local bar, he had lost control of his car and struck
a tree. He had been killed instantly. Luckily. Jane had continued to scrape
together the monthly premiums on his life insurance. The benefits paid to
Jane along with the triple accidental indemnity clause, was enough to assure
that the family income would be maintained until the children were eighteen
years old.
Jake entered the first grade the following year after Sam's demise. Jane had
him enrolled at St. Mary's with the thought that a good parochial school
environment would ensure that he learn the proper education, discipline and
moral values. The first two years went along smoothly except for the typical
tricks that young boys do. It was in the third grade that things went wrong.
So wrong in fact that Jake was one of those few boys that the school felt
compelled to transfer to Sister Angelica's care. In his case the petticoat
discipline had not helped. He just became more unmanageable, skirts or not.
It was just too much aggravation with having a toddler to deal with. Jane was
constantly having to meet with the nuns at the school. The child
psychologists had kept telling her that the problem would go away on its own.
That Jake's problem was due to his "trying to cope with the loss of his
father." It was just too much for Jane to bear.
In the end, Jane was forced to transfer him to the public school system.
Although Jake did fairly well there academically, the environment and
discipline was in no way comparable to that at St. Mary's. Slowly, Jake
associated himself with the rough and tumble crowd and eventually he became,
due to a more developed physical stature, the leader of the tough crowd. Jane
was determined that Janet would go to St. Mary's at least. She did not want
her to turn out like her brother.
Chapter 1 Bullies and Bigots
Jake Ashley, at 17 years old thought he had it all figuered out. He was, in
his own opinion, "on top of the world." He was, at 190 pounds and nearly 6
feet tall, just about the biggest kid in school. He could whip anyone who
challenged him and not too may had tried. He felt his sexual prowess was
probably better than any of the other jocks at his school. After all, he had
made his first conquest of the female sex almost 3 years earlier. Of course
he would not admit that the girl had been two years older than himself at the
time and was known as a town slut. To Jake, he had conquered the girl. He had
since then been lucky. His escapades had not resulted in any of the girls
getting pregnant. Of course he really didn't care if any of the girls got
knocked up. That was their problem. After all girls were only good for one or
two things anyway, Making babies, looking pretty and serving their guys. Hell
he thought, If he did get a girl in "trouble" he would have his father take
care of it. he was loaded with dough and a lawyer to boot.
******
Jake had never liked Kenneth Brewster. The kid was the only boy in a family
of four sisters and he was the third youngest. Jake had met the Brewster kids
at the town beach just after they had moved into town. Jake had been hanging
out at the beach with a couple of his buddies when the Brewsters had arrived.
He watched as the new kids spread out a blanket and laid out their towels.
Jake just shook his head. Everything they carried with them was pink or
yellow or some other girlish design. The shock to Jake's macho came when he
observed the boy was wearing what obviously was a pair of one of his sister's
beach shoes. White with pink trim. Jake looked close at the boy. He was
obviously a sissy. Long hair down to his shoulders, girl's shoes, and
obviously enjoying himself with the girls. Jake formed his opinion. He's just
like all the girls in town. Silly, and stupid and to top it off, a fairy. He
had a new kid to bully. Jake thought. The two other boys with him agreed with
Jake as he voiced his opinions and what he would do to the new "sissy" in
town. "Maybe we can do something from one of those sissy stories on the
internet. He remarked to his friends. Of course Sid and Billy would agree.
They were not to bright . But they were brothers and to Jake's perspective
they were loyal to each other and loyal to him. To Jake, followers were
important no matter how stupid they were. In their case, Jake assumed that it
must run in the family.
Jake watched the boy as he crossed the street at the pedestrian crosswalk.
From his seat next to the window of the local hangout, Jake smiled. His day
was made. Jake gave Sid a poke in the ribs to get his attention. "Look what
we have here." "That Brewster kid never learns. That little 'pansy' is headed
into our territory again." Jake said as he jestured out the window. "Look at
him." Jake said laughingly. "He's wearing white shorts and a pink Tee-shirt.
he even has on a gold necklace."
"Ya, and he even has a ribbon in his hair. Man is he a sissy. Replied Billy."
"Well I guess we will have to teach him another lesson. Huh Jake."
Said Sid looking at his buddy for confirmation and approval.
"Ya Sid, I guess we will. I told him at school not to come down to this end
of town or he would be sorry. After kicking his ass yesterday, that should
have been enough warning. Tell Billy to get over here." Jake said to Sid
pointing at Billy. "Tell him to get his hand out of that girl's skirt and get
over here. Now. I'll meet you guys out front." Jake got up and left the shop.
He would intercept the fairy before he could get away.Little did Jake know
that Kenneth was looking for him.
*****
Kenneth had come home from school the previous day and went straight to his
room. He was sore all over. Most of the bruises were more to his pride than
anything else. He had tried to defend himself and probably could have done a
fairly good job at it had it not been for his promise to his mother not to
fight. She had always told him and his sisters that there were "other ways"
to deal with injustice. She had told them that she would 'always see to it
that he and his sisters would not be harmed without justice being done and
lessons learned.'
Kenneth knew that his mother would be home soon and the huge black eye that
he sported would give rise to a lot of questions. As always, he would tell
her the details of the incident and let her handle it. Kenneth and his
sisters knew the truth about their mother and always defered to her
judgement. Kenneth trusted his mother implicitly.
Chapter 2 The Plan
Sarah Brewster was self employed. She was an owner of Brewsters Associates of
Greenwood Arizona. , a special applications Computer Sales and Marketing Firm
. Actually she was co-owner with her children. The firm had actually been
owned by her husband and was left to her and the children in his will. Since
the kids were all minors, she acted as trustee until they became 21 years
old. Brenda, the oldest would become of agein a few months and would join her
in the business. The hours were long and kept her away from home longer than
she liked, but she at least knew that Brenda would watch over her siblings
almost like a mother. Louanne was just as competant as well. Brenda was 20
years old, followed by Louanne at 18, Kenneth at 14, and the twins, Mary and
Margaret at 12. Quite a brood for a working mother, but Sarah would have it
no other way. Being a "Fairy Godmother to Humanity" was a help however. Not
that she did much with her powers except grant an occasional wish over the
Internet to some poor soul who was in desperate need. And of course she would
use the power to protect her children and the children of her friends. It was
to be just such a scenario that would cause Jake and is buddies a lot of
humiliation in the weeks ahead. Sarah was about to teach a group of thugs an
important lesson in human decency. The hard way.
That evening when Kenneth recounted the events at school and how he had been
stopped by Jake and his buddies and was accused of being a "fairy". He told
Sarah how he had tried to walk around the guys and they had grabbed him and
had punched him until he fell to the ground. He told her that they then
kicked him a few times and told him never to come downtown. That it was their
territory and that they didn't like sissies on their turf.
Sarah felt saddness and rage all at once. Rage, that her son had been
accosted by a macho bully and his goons, and still sadness for the boy who
obviously had a serious social conformity problem. Probably the result of
parents who had never taken the time to teach their sons any lessons in
respect and courtesy for others. "Well" Sarah thought, "Time to do the fairy
godmother thing again."
"Kenneth, you did well in not retaliating. Physical violence solves nothing.
But I think you will like what I have in store for Jake. And, I think his
pals will get the message when they see the results. This is what I want you
to do tomorrow............"
Kenneth forgot all about his sore body when he had heard the last of his
mothers plan. He got up from the bed that he had been sitting on and walked
over to his mother and hugged her. Long and tenderly.
"Thanks Mom. That will work just fine." Ken knew his mother had special
powers but he never questioned how or why she did. He just knew that whatever
she decided would be the right thing to do. Neither Ken nor his sisters ever
questioned their mother's judgment. It just seemed that it was always right.
The twins had overheard the conversation and their mother's plans for Jake.
They could not help but stick their curley heads around the corner of the
doorway and giggle. "Can he come and play with us afterwards?" the girls
asked in unison.
"Maybe dears. Maybe.... Sarah left the reply unfinished. She smiled to
herself mischiefly. 'Maybe indeed girls' She said to herself. "Now shoo, I
need to talk to Ken alone. The twins giggled again and ran off to their own
room. "Mom? he asked after his sisters had gone, Is Jake right? Am I a sissy
or something?
"No Son. Your not. What you are is a young man who has been raised in a
family of girls. It is true that some of the feminine traits may have rubbed
off on you, but all that has happened is that you are turning out to be a
fine young man who will be able to understand what girls need and appreciate
and it will serve you well as you get older. On the other hand, you do have
another option."
"What is that? Kenneth asked.
Sarah looked at her son for a long moment. Pondering whether this was the
time to tell him the whole story. "Ken come down stairs, I have something to
tell you and your sisters as well."
Kenneth could see that his mother was serious. He did as he was told and went
down to the living room and sat on the sofa.
When Sarah had all the children assembled together, she spent the next hour
recounting the history and legacy of their family. A family descended for
centuries from fairies.
Then finally she turned to Ken and addressed him directly "......I had hoped
that this possibility would not surface honey, but I see that it has and you
deserve to know why you feel the way you do. For your sisters there is no
problem. When they reach maturity at age 25 or so, the will become fairy
godmothers too. But for you, a decision has to be made very soon.
Sarah went on to explain. " When I decided to marry your father, I was
summoned before the Grand Council. I was offered a choice. Either to abandon
my desire to marry a mortal or become a guardian of humanitiy As such I would
be given the power to help people in times of emotional crisis. Those people
who would otherwise sink into deep depression and possibly take their own
lives. I would be allowed however to use my power to protect all children
from harm but only in such a way as it did not do any physical harm to anyone
else. There was one condition set that I had to obey. All my children must be
born female and they would be required to also become guardians as well. That
is what each of you will ultimately become on your 25th birthday." Sarah
paused in her explanation and looked for any reactions from her children.
None of the girls said anything but Sarah noted a quizzical look on Ken's
face.
"I know Ken. I can see in your face what is on your mind. You want to know
how this whole thing effects you. Why were you not born a girl as well?"
"Well yes Mother. That is on my mind. I seems contradictory."
"No contradiction at all Ken. After your two older sisters were born, Your
father wanted a son. I could not refuse. I loved him dearly and wanted to
give him his one great wish. I went before the Grand Council and asked them
to allow me to give him a son and they agreed. One condition applied. that
during the boy's fourteenth year, He had to be allowed the privilege of
become a female and accepting his/her role in the inheritance of the family
tradition. Ken dear, I think you are now experiencing the beginnings of your
time of trial. The femininity you are experiencing is to help you make the
decision that you must soon make. That of becoming a girl for a year. During
that time you must serve as an junior apprentice guardian just as Brenda and
Luanne are doing now. After which you can make a final choice as to what you
wish to do. Stay a girl and become a true guardian or revert back to being a
man. The decision is yours only to make. You can refuse. But on your
fifteenth birthday, the option will be gone forever. Either way I will
support your decision."
Sarah finished her explanation and waited for what she thought would be an
awkward and embarrassing response from her son.
"Thanks Mom. Now I understand. When will the change occur?" Kenneth asked.
"First you must make the commitment, Then there will be a midnight ceremony
attended by 3 members of the Grand Council one of which will be the Fairy
Queen.Of course I and your sisters will be there as well except for Mary and
Margaret. They are too young yet. During the ceremony the Queen will ask you
if you truly wish to transition. At which point you will be asked to say the
three times the words, "Oh my Queen, do unto me what has been ordained." The
rest is a secret until then but it is beautiful what happens next. Ken had a
hard time falling asleep that night. He had much to contemplate.
*****
Kenneth paused at the corner opposite the coffee shop. He could see that Jake
and one of his pals was sitting in the booth by the front window. Kenneth
stood on the corner until he was sure that Jake saw him. He saw Jake get up
from the booth and head for the door. His pal seemed to be heading back
further into the shop and away from the door. It was then that Kenneth
crossed the street. If he timed it right, he should be able to confront Jake
before the others came outside. Ken was sure that they would. Bullies like to
be seen when they do their dirty work to others.
Jake stood leaning against the doorway as Ken approached. Feigning an attempt
to enter the coffee shop, Ken knew that Jake would block his way. Jake
reached out and grabbed Ken by the arm.
"Going somewhere Sissy?" Jake asked snearingly.
"Just going in for a soda." Ken said mocking fear.
"I don't think so fairy. We don't let Sissies who wear their sister's clothes
in here. Look at you. White shorts with no fly. And a pink shirt to boot. You
must be nuts to think we will let you stay around here." Jake said just as
his two friends came outside. Sid and Billy stood on each side of Ken while
Jake continued to ridicule him.
"Thats a nice gold necklace you have there. At least it is not a girls'. Let
me see it." Ken reached up in what appeared an attempt to stop Jake. Sid and
Billy each grabbed one of his arms as Jake lifted the rope chain from around
Ken's neck.
"Nice. I like it. I tell you what fairy, I'll keep the chain in exchange for
not whipping your ass. But if you ever come around this area again, nothing
will save you from getting the shit kicked out of you. Understand?" Jake said
in as intimidating a voice as he could muster.
"ye..ye..yess." Ken stammered. Pretending fear.
"Good. Guys escort our little girl back across the street. We wouldn't want
her to get hit by a car or somthing now would we." Jake said mockingly.
Sid and Billy grabbed hold of Ken's arms again and walked him over to the
opposite corner. Releasing him, they gave him a push so that he fell onto the
grass adjoining the sidewalk. They both laughed at his awkwardness and turned
and walked back over to Jake who was now sporting his new gold rope necklace
prominently around his neck.
The three boys laughed at the boy across the street who had just gotten on
his feet and was brushing the dirt off his once clean white shorts. Jake
could not resist one last insult. He threw Ken the "bird" as he turned and
entered the coffee shop. Taking his seat by the window, Jake took the
necklace and inspected it. It had no clasp. It seemed as though it was one
solid ring without an end. Jake put the necklace over his head. It just fit.
Strange he thought as he adjusted the medallion over the front of his tee
shirt. 'It didn't seem to be that hard to get it off the Sissy. Must be
because I am such a "stud" he mused. Jake abruptly forgot about the necklace
as Sid and Billy came back inside.
"Can you believe that kid. The SOB had on his sisters clothes and even had a
ribbon tying his hair back." Sid said laughingly.
"I'll bet he even wears their skirts and dresses when he has a chance."
Replied Billy. "Knock it you guys. We have better things to do today than
waste time on him." Lets go check out those two "beavers" from St. Mary's. "
Said Jake as he pointed to the booth at the back of the shop. Two girls sat
in the booth in quiet conversation.. Their crisp school uniforms and quiet
demeanor gave testament to their discipline.
Jake got up and walked towards the rear of the shop. He was unaware of the
slight magic performed on the necklace. It got slightly shorter and extremely
hard. Jake would find it impossible to remove later. Jake turned to hurry his
friends along. They were no where to be seen. Jake shrugged his shoulders.
"Chickens. What the hell are they afraid of." He mumbled under his breath.
Jake continued after his goal. Two more chicks to conquer and and from St.
Mary's at that. Jake was sure he would score big this time. When he reached
the booth where the girls had been sitting, They were gone too. "What the
hell is going on here!" he said under his breath."
*********
Sarah sat at her terminal in her office and watched the events unfold
downtown. It was quite easy to tap into the City's TRS. After all, she had
bid on and received the contract for the Tactical Response System the
previous year and had upgraded it recently. The city fathers had seen fit to
install cameras in key locations ostensibly to monitor traffic flow and
violators. Several of the local businesses had also asked to have their
onsite cameras tied into the system as well for security concerns. Her
computers had been installed in the City hall, Police and Fire Stations and
at her central control office. The Coffee Shop had been one of the businesses
that was tied into the system, and Sarah watched the events from the traffic
control tower's camera and from the camera inside the coffee shop. Of course
she could have used a little fairy magic to watch everything but this way was
easier and did not tire her. Magic was quite taxing, even for fairies. . As
it turned out, Sarah had lost her control when she saw her son get pushed to
the ground and was glad she had not used all her strength. She had plenty in
reserve for Sidney and Billy. However she was satisfied that Ken was fine
except for a little dirt on his clothes.
She watched as Sid and Billy returned to the coffee shop. She listened
intently to the conversation. It became apparent from the conversation that
the two young girls that sat by themselves in a rear booth were in danger of
becoming Jake's targets. She had to do something fast even though that was
not the way she like to do things. Sarah concentrated. She projected a
thought subtlely in both girl's minds to leave. As for Billy and Sid, they
were really not bad kids, they were just followers. Jake's followers. She
knew that with the right environment they would turn out quite well. Sarah
made her decision. Spreading her hands wide and closing her eyes, she
performed her magic. Sid and Billy disappeared from the booth.
(Object lesson: Don't get a fairy angry at you. You may not like the results.
Ask Sid and Billy. Then again.....)
*******************
Chapter 3 Bad Attitude sets the Stage
Jake was pissed off. First his two friends walked out on him and then to top
it off, The two girls he was going to "hit" on also apparently left as well.
Jake just had to find a way to relieve his frustration.
Jake left the coffee shop and headed towards the Mall. At least he felt that
he could hang around there and maybe pick up a chick or at the least meet
some of the other guys and "show off" a bit.
It was a ten minute walk and since it was a typically hot day, his irritation
only got worse my the time he started to walk across the Mall parking lot. As
he walked between the cars he was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he
did not see the woman and her little girl walking along the roadway in front
of the line of parked cars.
Jake walked out between two of the cars and straight into the little girl
knocking her free from the woman's hand and down onto the asphalt. Jake
stopped as he walked into the child and just stood there. An irritated look
on his face. He made no attempt at an apology. Instead he swore. "Jesus,
lady, can't you watch were your going?" He said.
The woman turned to her little girl who sat on the pavement crying. Her pink
dress and petticoat stained with the dirt and oil from the paving. "Excuse me
young man but I think it was you who was not watching where you were going."
Turning to the child she picked up the little girl and brushed off the skirt
of her dress. "Are you all right Michelle" She asked. "Yes Mommy, but I think
my dress is ruined." The little girl replied. 'That's ok Michelle. Mommy will
buy you a new one." Turning to Jake she said, "Young man, I think you own
this child an apology."
Jake looked at the woman and started to laugh. "Lady your nuts. I'm not
apologizing to any little kid for anything. Especially a girl. Screw you."
Jake then walked away and left the woman and her child standing in the
parking lot.
"He was not a nice boy at all Mommy." The little girl said. "I know Michelle.
Some boys are like that. But you know, in the end he will be punished by the
"Good Fairies".
"You are so right Anne-Marie. He will be. I promise" Said Sarah silently to
herself. Sarah watched on her monitor the altercation in the parking lot. She
was furious. 'This kid was incorrigible. He has no decency in him at all.'
She thought. But what bothered her even more was that he had done it to
Michelle Fortin and her mother Anne-Marie. Sarah had a special interest in
those two. It was Mike Davenport nee Michelle Fortin that had been the latest
recipients of her magic. (See my story, The Computer)
Sarah had made up her mind. Jake was going to get the "whole treatment" He
was in need of a complete make-over before he ended up in jail or worse.
Sarah knew it was for his own good. Her reasoning was confirmed by the time
Jake left the Mall. He had made a complete ass of himself all afternoon. And
had not been able to "score" once with any of the girls there. His reputation
had preceded him. He did manage to beat up a couple of boys smaller than
himself however. Sarah decided to give him the "slow" treatment instead of
all at once. He needed to be taught a lesson the hard way.
Sarah shut down her office terminal and head for home. It was from there that
she could work her magic and she needed her "special" computer for that task.
******
Ken entered the kitchen from the back door. Luanne was preparing some
vegetables for the evening meal at the countertop. "Hi Ken. How did
everything go with that jerk Jake?" She asked.
"Hi Sis. Just like Mom planned. I think the clothes and the hair style really
set him off. But you know... It was his friends Sid and Billy that got a
little physical. I'm surprised at that. They just never did anything physical
to hurt me. It was always Jake that did that stuff.
They were probably trying to impress Jake. A bully's friends are like that.
Are you all right? Did they hurt you?" Luanne asked with concern.
No Sis. They just pushed me to the ground that's all. I'm sorry but I think
the shorts and "T" you lent me are in for some serious cleaning." Ken
replied.
"Don't worry about it. Minor expense considering what the reward will be. If
I know Mom, There are three bullies in this town that are in for a big
surprise." Luanne replied. "Ken just smiled. He gave Luanne a gentle kiss on
the cheek." Thanks Luanne. I appreciate everyone wanting to help me out. I
think I will go get cleaned up. I'll put your clothes in your hamper when I
am done."
"Thanks Bro. And don't mention it. Us Brewsters have to stick together." Said
Luanne as Kenneth headed out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his bedroom.
Luanne sighed. She loved her brother. He was such a gentle creature. More
like a girl than a boy she thought. Deep down she really wished he was a
girl. She felt that she could relate to him more than her older sister. If
only he would decide...... Luanne let the thought go unfinished. She was not
far from the truth.
*****
Chapter 4 Sudden Change for the Better
Sid and Billy were both having a difficult time coping with what had
happened. One minute they had been preparing to try to score on a couple of
those straight laced girls from St. Mary's School and the next moment they
found themselves sitting on a little bench surrounded by playground equipment
obviously made for little children. The shock came to them suddenly when they
noticed the cute little dresses that they were each wearing. Sid in a blue
checker dress and Billy in a tan dress. They both were wearing flowered straw
hats. A young woman in a black dress came up behind them and said, "Come
along Sylvia you to Billie. It's time for you to take your naps." She led the
two cute four year old girls into the schools to take their naps with the
rest of the children in the day care center. As much as they both wanted to
protest and tell the woman that there was some mistake, they were unable to
do so. Each looked at the other but neither could say a word. As they entered
the large playroom decorated with Barney and Big Bird and a host of other
children's characters they actually started to cry. It was humiliating.
"Shush now girls. You will wake up the other children. You don't want to do
that do you?" Asked the woman. "No ma'am was their reply in unison." "Good.
After you have your nap, you can both lead the other children in a dress-up
tea-party. Would you like that? " Asked the woman. "Yes Ma'am." was Billie's
reply. Inwardly he could not fathom why he had said that. He looked at
Sid/Sylvia, he just shrugged his shoulders. Shortly afterwards Sid and Billy
were fast asleep on the big mat with the other children. They held each
others hands. The soft melody of "Mary had a Little Lamb" that was playing
from the overhead speakers was sufficient to put any of the children to
sleep.
The world continued...It was as if Sid and Billy had always been little
girls. Everyone and everything had been altered to support this. All except
for Sid and Billy, they would know what had happened to them but would not be
powerless to do anything about it. They would only be able to talk about
their former lives to each other, Jake and the Brewsters.
For Sid and Billy a long road of adjustment was ahead. But at least they had
a chance to start over.
It could have been worse, They could have ended up as toads. Their new lives
as little girls was to be filled with the experiences and lessons femininity.
Maybe as young girls they might just turn out fine. After all, with most pre
schoolers the mold had not yet been cast.
Jake was to be a different case altogether. His conversion to a "civilized"
person was to be slow and humiliating. Submitting to his new teacher was
going to be the most humiliating of all. But lessons learned well even with
some "pain and much adjustment" are most assuredly worth learning. This was
to be Jake's lot.
*****
Jake had struck out at the Mall. Try as he may, he had been unable to find
any of his friends. It was a strange day he thought. No one was around. Even
stranger was the total absence of any girls. After an hour of walking the
concourse he left the Mall and headed home.
Jake turned the corner into his street. All the way home he had been fuming.
Except for the incident with Kenneth earlier he had been unable to vent his
frustrations on anyone. "Well he thought, I'll at least get on the Internet
and read about some Sissy getting his ass kicked." Deep in thought he did not
notice the neighbor's cat come up to him until it rubbed against his jeans.
Jake swore. He lashed out with his foot and kicked it. The cat howled and ran
off. "That felt good." Jake thought as he let out a laugh and walked up the
pathway to his door.
******************
Chapter 5 Jake's Dilemma
Sarah closed up shop early and headed home. She had monitored Jake's
activities until he had entered his home. She really got riled up when he had
kicked that poor cat but she refrained from doing anything about it at that
point. She was not ready to deal with Jake just yet. Although she had called
home and spoken with Luanne and had been told Ken was fine and quite cheerful
about the whole affair, Sarah still wanted to speak with him before going
ahead with the next stage. "Gee it is hard to be a Fairy godmother." she said
to herself with amusement. It was not often that she had the opportunity to
exact justice against the "bad guys". But protection of ones children was one
of those times it was permitted under the Fairy Rule. The way she had dealt
with Sidney and Billy was a stroke of "Genius" She thought. They had not been
harmed and in the end she surmised, they might just turn out fine after a few
years at St. Mary's. And if they did get unmanageable again, Sister
Angelica's Special Program of Petticoat Discipline them back in skirts and
take any unruliness out of them.
For Jake however she had a special plan. He was to find out exactly what it
was like to Be, for awhile at least, what he had accused Ken of being a
sissy, or to be exact, to be accused of being one. The necklace was to be the
means by which her justice would be accomplished. Jake's days of being a
bully were just about over.
*****
Jake was in a terrible mood when he entered his house. His parents, as usual
were not at home and this only increased his frustration. His sister Janice
was parked in front of the TV in the living room. Although the 12 year old
girl gave him a cheery "Hello Jake." He only grunted a reply. He just had
nothing in common with her. She was a girl and in his mind, girls were only
good for one thing. His sister was off limits for that of course
and that placed her "somewhere just above the family cat. Jake walked into
the kitchen and after taking a Coke from the refrigerator, went straight up
to his room.
Setting the coke down on the computer bench, Jake flipped on the switch to
his system and while it booted up, he started to get undressed. Shorts and a
cutoff Tee was a lot more comfortable in the late afternoon and a couple of
hours at the computer. Jake opened his dresser drawer and took out a pair of
denim shorts. He then took a sleeveless black tee shirt from his closet and
laid them on his bed. He proceeded to get undressed. Down to his skivvies, he
noticed the gold chain and it's medallion resting on the front of his chest.
It looked different. The chain seemed a lot more delicate than he remembered
when he had taken it from Ken. The medallion looked different too. He noticed
the pale blue center with what appeared to be a small winged fairy in the
middle.
"Son of a B...." He muttered to himself. The swear going unfinished. "I
didn't notice that before. The dambed thing is a girl's necklace. I'm not
wearing that." He said to himself. He hoped that no one at the Mall had
noticed the necklace while it had been prominently worn on the front of his
shirt. "Dambed. I'm glad none of the guys had been at the Mall. They would
never have let me live it down." He said silently to himself. Jake took the
chain in his hands and attempted to slip it over his head. It would not fit.
"Shit. What's going on here." Jake slid the chain around it's entire length
looking for the clasp. There was none. The chain was one solid weave. "Damb."
Jake swore again. "I'll just cut it off." Jake rummaged through his desk
drawer and found his computer repair kit. Taking a pair of wire cutters from
the kit, He attempted to cut the chain. Instead of the chain severing as he
expected, The wire cutter's blade broke in half.
Jake was taken aback. This was not possible he thought. He was in a quandary
He could not let anyone see this necklace. It would be he who would be called
a sissy instead of that fairy Ken. Jake had one more surprise. As he stood
looking in the mirror contemplating how he would remove the chain, The
necklace got even thinner, and shorter until it just barely fit around his
neck, just shy of being a choker. The medallion change shape as well. Forming
it's self into a delicate filigree heart with a definite pink gold color. The
center design changed also. The background taking on a pastel blue tone and
the image of the fairy became even more prominent in pink and white hues.
Jake started to sweat. This was just not possible he thought. "This is a
friggin girl's necklace for sure. How the hell is this happening?" Jake just
had to cover it up somehow until he could get it cut off. "Magic? No way.
There is no such thing. Some sort of trick by that asshole Ken. Wait till I
get my hands on him. He's gonna pay for this." Jake reasoned with himself.
Jake put the tee shirt back in the closet and took out a turtle neck
pullover. "At least I can cover it up with this so no one will see the dambed
thing. Jake said to himself. Dressed and the necklace out of sight, Jake
calmed down somewhat and soon forgot about his predicament. Sitting at his
computer he logged on to his favorite chat site.
He was in for another surprise. One that was about to change his life.
Meanwhile--------

Chapter 6 Aftermath
Ken got undressed and after putting Luanne's cloths in her hamper he headed
for the shower. Fifteen minutes later and wearing some clean clothes he felt
a lot better. He had enjoyed playing the girl role in order to carry out the
plan that he and his mom decided on for Jake's benefit. That was what was
troubling him. He enjoyed it more than he should have. Maybe he was a sissy
after all. He though. "No, that's not it. There is something else." he
reasoned with himself. Maybe the change was happening all by it's self. He
thought. Ken stood in front of his dresser mirror aqnd looked long and hard
at his reflection. He looked at his delicate features, the longish hair, even
his eyebrows seemed a little on the thin side for a boy. Slowly Ken let his
imagination run free. Slowly he say emerge in the mirror an image of a young
teenage girl. Her hair was meticulously coifed, cascading down onto her
shoulders in gentle curls onto a pretty white summer dress. Her lips adorned
with a shade of pink lipstick that just perfectly matched her complexion. She
wore light beige hose that complemented the dress and her shoes were white
pumps with low heels. Around her neck was a beautiful rose gold chain and
pendant. The heart shaped pendant adorned with a winged fairy. She was
beautiful.
Ken stood there for several minutes mesmerized at the image. The image faded
abruptly as he heard the front door open and the cheery "Hello." From his
mother. Ken turned and left the room to greet his mother. He was troubled by
what he had just seen and how he felt. Considering what his mother had told
him earlier, Had he seen himself as he would be if he said the magic words?
He had liked what he had seen yet he was confused about his feelings. He knew
that he would have to have another talk with his mother..
By the time Ken reached the bottom of the staircase, Sarah had gone into the
kitchen. She had put her laptop computer on the counter top and was engaged
in conversation with Luanne. Both stopped talking when ken walked in.
"Hi Mom." Ken said in greeting. "Can I speak with you? It is important."
" Hi Sweetie. Is it about what happened today?" Sarah asked.
Luanne diplomatically eased herself out of the room. She was an astute young
woman and knew when private times were in order. Inwardly she smiled.
Unbeknownst to Ken, The three older women of the family were quite aware of
what this conversation was going to be about and to say the least, they were
elated.
It was inevitable. No descendant of a fairy godmother could reject their
destiny. Male or female, it made no difference. One had to perform their
apprenticeship. The option to refuse was always there. But no one had ever
done so.
*****
Sarah was extremely happy. Ken had made his decision and had set the time. At
midnight there would be a new daughter in her family. At least for the next
year. Sarah felt so good at this development that she decided to go easy on
Jake. She would turn his re-indoctrination over to Ken. As an apprentice he
would not be so inclined as to be over harsh. She would however make the
first direct contract with him by her special computer.
*****
Jake had a plan. He would visit one of those Sissy sites and find out what it
was that real sissies like to do. He would then use that information to get
even with Brewster. Maybe force him to dress as a little girl and then make
him parade around the school. Maybe even get him a fairy boyfriend. All Jake
needed to know was where to get the dress , wig and other materials
anonymously. Then he would make Ken the laughing stock of the school and that
would be just what Jake wanted. That was not quite how it would turn out
however. Jake brought up his browser and did an exact phrase search for
"Sissies and their accessories"
A few seconds later a pink screen appeared outlined with flowers. A midi file
started to play "Elise".
"Ah" Jake uttered. "A hit first try. This ought to be good."
The midi file came to and end and with it the screen changed changed
slightly. It had the same background and border but in the middle of the
screen was a welcome message.
Welcome to Sarah's Sissy Shop Everything that a Sissy Boy needs.
Please select one of the catagories below:
---- Little Girl's Dresses -----
-----Panties and Tights ----
-----Lace Slips -----
----- Mary Jane Shoes -----
----- Wigs and hair accessories -----
When you are finished, Please press here for checkout.
"Great". thought Jake. "I can get everything here and have it shipped to my
Pac-Mail box.
Jake spent over an hour selecting the very prettiest and most little girlish
items that he could find. He was sure that a few minutes alone with Brewster
in the school locker room with a couple of his buddies and these items, would
be all he needed to change that fairy into a real live sissy. He would make
him walk, wearing the outfit all the way home, the long way through downtown.
"That will teach that faggot a lesson.: Jake thought with a smirk on his
face. Jake finished his selection and clicked on the checkout button. After
entering his credit card number and the Pac-Mail address, He signed out of
the website.
Thank you for your order Jake. Please come again. We try to make all little
girls like yourself beautiful. Fairy Godmother; SFGB
"Ya right. I don't think so. But I know one who will be very "pretty" soon."
Jake said to the screen as he read the sign off message.
Jake shut off the computer and headed down to the kitchen. He was famished.
It had been one hell of a day. He thought. He was pleased with himself. His
plans for Ken would bring him much pleasure. "Now if I can only find out
where those two idiots went....." He said to himself.
Sarah signed off with Jake. "Good he is digging his own 'grave'." Sarah sat
back in her chair and closed her eyes. She smiledto herself. She was quite
pleased with the way everything was progressing. She lapsed into thought.
"With a little guidance, Kendra can take over from here." After all, Since
Ken had decided to follow the family tradition and spend a year as a girl it
was only right that he should get some experience as a guardian apprentice by
doing the followup with Jake. Of course he would not have any magic power but
she could do that for him. It would be good training for him and might just
influence him in accepting his inheritance at the end of his year. Sarah came
out of her daydream. She looked at the clock "6:00 pm. I better get a move
on. There is a lot to do before the ceremony for Ken's transition at
midnight."
******
Helen Morris arrived at the daycare center at 5 PM to pick up her two
daughters. They were in for a treat. She had made an appointment at the Salon
de Femme to have both Billie and Sylvia get their hair styled and get their
first manicure. Salon de Femme was noted for their excellent service with
children and Helen was sure that the girls would appreciate the experience
not to mention the fact that Helen was getting tired of the long process of
doing the girls hair herself. She had thought of cutting the children's hair
to make it more manageable but she just could . not bring herself to cutting
their lovely long hair. This was a much better alternative. Sylvia and Billie
had just finished hosting the make believe Tea Party when the teacher
announce that their mother was there to pick them up. The teacher told both
of the girls to go to the lavatory and take care of any needs before they
left the school. Billie and Sylvia went into the bathroom together. There was
no one else there. It was the first time that they had been alone all
afternoon. Billie turned to Sylvia and she found that she had the ability to
talk freely.
"Sid what happened to us. Look at us, we're friggin little girls. This has
got to be a dream or something." Billy asked.
"How the hell do I know. All I know is that one minute we were in the Coffee
shop with Jake and the next second we were here all decked out in dresses.
And now we look like little girls to boot."
But Sid. The lady out there said that Mom was here to pick us up. How can
that be. Mom couldn't possible know anything about this. Sid was getting
angry. He was frustrated since he had no answers to Billy's questions and
angry because he found himself in exactly the position that he had accused
Ken of being. A Sissy. Although right now he was not sure if the term
applied. Sid reached under his dress and put his hand where he thought he
would find at least a little boy's thing. Sid pulled his hand out quick. "
Shit he replied" "What's wrong?" asked Billie." "Look for yourself. There
gone. Dambed. I hope you like sitting down to pee. Dambed. We are girls."
Billie's face turned white. "Then this is for real........" The sentence
going unfinished as Helen and the teacher came into the girl's lavatory.
"Girl's have you finished in here yet or are you just playing?" Helen asked.
"No. Sorry Mother. We were just talking about how much fun we had playing Tea
Party. Replied Billie unable to understand why he had said that.
"Ok sweetpea that's nice but we have a lot to do this evening so I want both
to do your toilet and then we are off to the Mall. I have surprise for both
of you." Helen answered.
Billie and Sylvia had their first experience sitting down to do what they had
always stood to do. It was overwhelmingly humiliating to them both.
Ten minutes later they were humiliated again and they were strapped into
child safety seats in the back of the family car. A car that up until that
morning they had both been licensed to drive. They both were acutely aware
that their mother did in fact think of them as little girls. As if it was the
most natural thing for Sid and Billy to be girls.
They were starting over and many more experiences awaited Sid and Billy.
Before long, Billie and Sylvia would be quite familiar with all those things
that all proper little girls knew about. Before long, pretty dresses and
petticoats, ribbons and lace would be things that both would be able to
converse about fluently and quite knowledgeably. Lessons were to be learned
and hopefully for the better.
*****
Sarah felt elated. Her decision to transform Sid and Billy had not been
spontaneous. She was well aware of the grief that the boys had given their
mother of the past few years. Sarah had known of Helen's wish that the boys
had been born girls. Helen had often prayed that Sid and Billy would turn
themselves around but without a father she knew that eventually they would
end up in a lot of trouble. Sarah had been powerless to help her. For it was
against the rules to grant a wish of such nature unless the individuals
effected made the wish. The boys themselves had opened the door for Sarah to
help Helen and at the same time help the boys. Their overt action against Ken
had allowed her to take action against Sid and Billy and at the same time not
harm them either. Helen's memory had been altered. She would never remember
her days With her boys and their burden on her. Her daughters would be a
godsend to her. They had always been. Would always be. That was her memory
and Sylvia and Billie had been, would be, restricted from ever changing that.
*******
Chapter 7 Kendra Emerges
Jake would sleep quite comfortably that evening. Except for the necklace that
he just could not remove being a slight frustration. It would be his last
night undisturbed. Events that were to follow. would cause him a lot of
sleepless nights. *****
Sarah forgot about Jake for the time being. She had to get ready for the
midnight ceremony. In this case one of dual purpose. the actual ritual to
change Ken into Kendra and the other to make Her new daughter an apprentice
guardian. Sarah sat on the floor and crossing her legs and putting her hands
on her chest she forced herself into a trance. She projected her thoughts to
the Grand Council and the Queen.
Sarah got her reply and was promised that the Queen and her escort would be
at the appropriate place at midnight. Thought projection was an art among the
fairy world. Sarah conversed with her queen for a brief moment but it was
sufficient. Time was non-existent to those of the world of spirits.
Returning to her present temporal world. Sarah went to retrieve those items
that Luanne had used for her ceremony of acceptance. Sarah had stored them
lovingly in her closets. She had known that they would be needed again.
*****
For Ken it had been a strange day. He had agreed with his mother on how to
get Jake pissed off at him knowing full well that he would be responsible for
Jake resorting to violence and thus give his mother an excuse to punish him.
Ken felt that Jake really needed to be given a taste of his own medicine. If
only to stop him form doing something to someone else who could not 'protect'
themselves. Ken decided that his mother's plan was best. He would follow her
advise. He just felt sorry for Jake. He had no idea of what he was up
against. For the present however Ken had his mind on the midnight ceremony.
He was getting a little apprehensive. His mother told him that she could not
speak to him until after the midnight. ceremony. It would be up to Brenda and
Luanne to be his sponsers.
Ken sat in his room looking out over the desert sky in the distance and the
pastel hues that signaled the approach of evening. He watched the dancing
pinpoints of light moving in the shadows of the darkening tree trunks. To
most people thelights would be nothing more than fireflies seeking their
mates. But Ken knew better. The tiny fairies were already preparing for a new
apprentice. At least that was how Ken interpreted what he saw. Fairies and
elves, tadstools for tables and dragonflies for transport. The wisps of the
spiders webs making intricate decorations. The stuff that fairytales are made
of.......
The gentle knock on the door brought Ken out of his reverie. "Ken can we come
in?" It was Brenda and Luanne.
Ken sighed. It was time to get prepared. He was both excited and
apprehensive. His life was about to turn in a new direction. He hoped that he
was making the right decision. "Sure, come on in" He replied to his sister's
inquiry. Brenda and Luanne came in to his room. Both were carrying Several
bundles and clothes bags which they deposited on Ken's bed.
"Ken it is time to get you ready. Mom instructed me to ask you one last time
if you still wanted to do go through the ceremony? Brenda asked quite
seriously. Luanne, standing behind Brenda just smiled. She had her fingers
crossed behind her back so that Ken could not see.
Ken looked at his older sister for a long moment. Now was the time to make
his final commitment. He had until this point weighed the options. As much as
he liked being a young man and the benefits of his gender, he still liked the
gentler side of his nature. His chance to experience that side of humanity
exhibited in femininity and its added benefit of his mother's inheritance
intrigued him. He just could not let the opportunity slip by. He had to find
out if his maleness was an accident. He had to know if he was or should have
been a girl destined by tradition to be a true fairy in his/her own right.
"Yes Brenda, lets get on with must be done." He said solemnly.
"Thank you." Luanne said softly to herself.
Both girls rushed forward and embraced Ken. They held him for close and all
three siblings shed not too few tears of happiness
Finally breaking the intimate moment, Brenda said, "Lets get on with it then.
You need to shower again Bro. Use this instead of your shower gel." She
handed him a plastic bottle. The fluid inside shimmered with an iridescent
pink hue. "Mother's special formula." Luanne said laughingly. "Actually it is
made from pixie dust and essence of roses. it will prepare your skin for the
changes that you will undergo." Brenda said seriously. "It must also be used
in place of your shampoo."
"I think we had better get started Ken. We have a lot to do to prepare you
for your initiation. Leave all your clothes in the hamper when your done. We
have all your new or should I say all my old clothes out here." And don't
forget to shave, close and everywhere except your head of course. Luanne said
with mock sternness.
Ken laughed meekly. He kissed both his sisters. "Thanks girls." He said and
went into the bathroom.
It took nearly three hours to prepare "Kendra" for "her" appearance and get
themselves ready as well. It was close to 10 PM when all was ready for their
departure for the "Sacred Place of Initiation."
It was amazing. Sure Ken had some of his mothers features and he was slight
of build but the makeover had been perfect. Ken stood before his sisters for
a final inspection. "So what do you guys think? Will I pass." He asked with
some trepidation. Brenda looked her brother over critically. Primping here,
tugging there. Finally announcing, "Your gorgeous Ken. You look like a
princess.
"I'll say." Said Luanne with a huge smile. "I don't see how the physical
transformation is going to add much to your appearance. You already look like
a beautiful fairy princess."
Ken looked at himself in the full length mirror for the first time. His two
sisters stood behind him in their beautiful pink gowns and garlands of white
daisies in their golden hair making a perfect backdrop to his own image. Ken
sucked in his breath in surprise at his own reflection. His surprise was
total.
All vestiges of his former self were gone. Kendra stood there in her full
glory. She wore a tea length apricot gown of shimmering light weight satin on
her shoulders was a pastel blue shawl of the same material. Her legs covered
with white pantyhose and on her feet low heel pumps to match her gown. Her
hands covered with white lace gloves and she carried a small bouquet of
miniature red and white carnations. Her hair brushed back into a long
ponytail and held in place with a crown of white daisies.
"It is strange Kendra replied. I know I should be feeling embarrassed
standing here looking like this being a boy and all. But I don't. I am
actually happy. Is this wrong? Ken the boy asked.
"No my new sister. It is not. This is really you. How you should always have
been and now will be for the next year at least." Brenda replied . Reaching
out and giving him a sisterly hug. "Now enough of this girl, it is time to
leave." "Thanks girls. I really am glad you were both here to help me with
this." Said Ken with sincerity. Luanne reached out and took her new 'sister'
by the hand. "Lets go." She said gently. Luanne felt closer to Ken now than
ever. "This was going to be a great year." She thought to herself Brenda took
Kendra's other hand and then Luanne's completing the circle as the three of
them just seemed to slowly vanish from the bedroom.
******
No one can say where the ceremony took place. For in the realm of fairies the
here and now or this place or that is just an enigma. For mortals, it does
not exist. But for Sarah and her children, inheritors of and descendants of
these spiritual beings, admission to the Sacred Place was permitted to the
witnesses as well as those about to be initiated as apprentices. Although
only two witnesses and the Queen Fairy were required to perform an
initiation, Sarah was well respected by her peers and out of respect the
grotto was filled to overflowing with Fairy Godmothers from all over the
temporal world. And pixies, those flighty little enigmas the flittered about
the forest with their tiny human forms and wispy wings were everywhere. The
little glows of light combining together like myriads of candles to light up
the entire grotto .
The grotto was surrounded by a ring of tall pine that seemed to reach forever
into the sky. The Moon in full glory stood exactly overhead adding its light
to that of the pixies. In the center of the grotto was a round flat slab of
stone about 12 feet in diameter. The slab was surrounded by 14 brass candle
sticks each 4 feet high which stood each evenly spaced from each other. To
the North of the slab about the space of 14 paces was a large white throne
with appeared to be made of alabaster. Three smaller thrones of intricately
carved mahogany were positioned one on each side of the white throne and one
directly in front. The Queen sat upon the white throne and her appointed
witnesses on either side. Sarah occupied the throne directly in front of the
queen. Around the outside of the stone slab the space of 7 paces stood those
who had elected to attend by their right. They stood shoulder to shoulder
around the entire circumference.
The fairy godmothers in all their regalia. Long white dresses of linen.
Overlaid in what appeared to be sheer lace. Their angelic wings resplendent
in white and blue feathers. Each pair of wings touching the next creating an
illusion of one massive wall encasing the circle. Garlands of flowers of all
shades and colors girded their waists. It was into the center of this circle
that Kendra and her sisters appeared.
Upon materializing within the circle, Brenda and Luanne each turned to Kendra
and in turn placed their finger tips on Kendra's temples then kissed her on
the forehead. This completed, Brenda and Luanne each stepped off of the stone
slab and walked over and stood next to Sarah. Ken smiled at his mother and
for the first time in his life actually saw her with her wings. Even Brenda
and Luanne had them as well although not as large and they were pink and
blue. No hint of white at all. Ken wondered about this. For that matter he
was awed by everything he was witnessing. The Queen stood up from her throne
and all went quite. Even the pixies stopped their movement. The creatures of
the forest stopped all sound as the Queen raised her arms.
Ken as he had been instructed earlier by Brenda, Sat in the exact center of
the stone circle. He noticed that even though made of stone, it gave off a
conforting warmth. He crossed his legs under the skirts of his gown and
placed his hands in his lap. He looked directly at the queen.
The Queen started to speak. Her words in a language that Ken could not
understand. The words more like a melody than words themselves. As on queue,
The pixies, whom had increased in numbers uncountable, slowly swarmed upward.
There immense numbers covering the face of the moon. Their glow shimmering in
all the colors of the rainbow until only their light shown downward in a
shaft of light that surrounded Ken.
Slowly the Queen after finishing her incantation walked from her throne and
stood directly in front of Ken. She stood and looked at the candidate for
more than a minute before speaking.
"Child, It is not often that we have such as you here before us. You are
unique to our family. If it were not for my love for your mother and your
birthright, I would cast you out as a I would an evil spirit. But you come
well spoken for and my observations of your nature does you well. So I will
allow you to become one of us for awhile. I will approve you candidacy if you
are willing to accept all that goes with it. I will ask you several questions
and you must answer truthfully. I will now if you do not. Do you agree to
these conditions my child?
"Yes" Replied Ken.
Do you wish to accept your birthright given to you by your Mother?"
"Yes." "Have the conditions of acceptance been explained to you?" "Yes." And
do you accept the conditions that must accompany this birthright" "Yes."
Will you submit yourself to all the rules that have been set down since the
beginning of time for all of our nature?" "Yes." "I believe you my child.
Your heart speaks truthfully."
The Queen took each of Ken's hands in hers. "And now my child, say the the
words. That you have been instructed" Ken looked at the Queen and lowered his
eyes. Slowly he repeated the incantation; "Oh my Queen, do unto me what has
been ordained." As Ken said the finished the third repetition he felt an
immense sense of well being as his body took on it's new form. The Queen
turned and looked at Sarah. "Do you my daughter promise to guide this child
and teach her in all those things that she will need to know to be a true
apprentice?"
Sarah stood up from her throne and kneeled down in front of the Queen. Her
wings folded forward and touched the ground. "I do my Queen. I so promise."
Said Sarah.
"Then let it be done." The queen said solemnly. She placed the index finger
of each of her hands on each of Ken's temples. The glow from the pixies
overhead increase and focused downward so that only the queen and Ken could
be seen. All other light seemed to disappear.
A spiral of blue light emanated from Ken. Not from any one place on his body
but more like it came from his whole being. It spiraled upward and
disappeared into the glow from the pixies.
"Your manhood has left you my daughter but it is not lost. It will be kept in
trust by the pixies until you return here on the evening of the twelfth full
moon hence. Should you decide at that time to reclaim it you may. But to do
so will require you to give up your fairy birthright forever. Should you at
that time claim fullness to your birthright at that time, Your manhood will
be given to another unborn human child and you will be one of us forever. Do
you understand and agree to these conditions?" Said the Queen with much
gentleness in her voice.
"Yes." Was the girl's reply.
"Then go. Take this candle (which had magically appeared in the queens hand)
and light each of the 14 candlesticks. One for each year of your age and the
magic number of the fairies. This will give you time to make a final
commitment. You may if you wish stop but if you do then you will return home
and will not remember any of this. You will forfeit your birthright forever.
Kendra took the lighted taper and slowly lit each candlestick. Soon she stood
in front of the forteenth. There was a great hush over the grotto. Even the
pixies stood still. There glow slightly dimmished. Kendra sighed. Not from
frustration but more from relief. She had now reached a moment of truth about
herself. She lit the final candle.
There was a great shout from all the onlookers. One of happiness and joy.
Their numbers had increased by one. Kendra did not notice at first the small
pink wings that now adorned her back.
The Queen raised her hand and the tumult subsided. She beckoned Sarah
forward. The turned to Kendra. "Welcome to our family my child. I grant you
one magical power. That you may at any time, appear to any mortal in any form
you see fit. But only in appearance. Your new fairy nature will remain with
you at all times. Use this power wisely and for good only. The Queen handed
Kendra a golden mirror. The handle carved in the likeness of an angel. "This
my child is given to all apprentices. Your sisters each have one of their own
and they will instruct you in its use. With it you may observe the activities
of that mortal that you choose to guard. With it you will be able to protect
that person from harm before it happens. My child, be ever wise, honest and
just with the mortal you choose to be the guardian over. It is an awesome
responsibility You will be judged accordingly."
The Queen took Kendra's hand in hers and led her over to Sarah who stood just
inside the circle. She then placed Kendra's hand in Sarah's
"Sarah, your new daughter." Said the queen. Sarah and Kendra embraced for a
long time.
Brenda and especially Luanne were shedding tears of joy. as would Mary and
Margaret when they beheld their new sister.
Chapter 8 New beginnings:
Time altered again. Not to the extent that mortals would recognize. Kendra
was like Sylvia and Billie a person who had always been No one would ever
know a Ken. Not even Jake. Paradoxes just did not occur when the Fairies
worked their magic. Even Sylvia and Billie had this memory erased. Only
Kendra and her family and her "sister" fairies would know the truth and they
would not tell.
Sarah and her daughters materialized at home. It was 1 minute past midnight.
Time had stood still. Kendra put her hand to her mouth in a sign of amazement
when she looked at the clock on the wall. She had a lot to learn about Fairy
Power.
"Luanne, would you please check on Mary and Margaret. I need to talk to
Kendra for awhile." Sarah asked.
"Yes Mother. I will wait for my new sister upstairs. Luanne replied and then
said "I'll wait up and help you get ready for bed Sis." "Thanks Luanne. I'll
be up shortly." Kendra answered.
Turning to Kendra, Sarah took Kendra's hands and said, "Thank you Dear. You
made me very happy tonight. Will you be happy too with what you have
decided?" "I hope so Mother. This is going to be so strange. I hope I can do
it.
"Kendra. Let me tell you something. I made a promise to your father to give
him a son. I did that and you made him very happy while he was still with us.
Had he lived longer I would have been content to never tell you about your
birthright and you would never had known about it. But your father was a
mortal and no matter what I wanted I was not allowed to use my magic to keep
him alive. When his heart gave out and he pa
