" Earth is so different. It os a beautiful world here, no magic or supernaturals, how am I going to cope here? The humans look ordinary, I do not sense any single magic in this place.

"What a different world!" Stephanie said as she hid behind a building, admiring mother earth.

"That means I have to hide my wings. Goodness knows what I will go through if I step into this world with wings" She said and then quickly, she summoned the last magic she had left in her.

With that magic, she changed herself into a human, hiding her wings and removed everything that made her look like a fairy.

"My only hope is Keira, she might be able to restore my magic" She said as she walked through the sideways, admiring everything she came across.

She walked and walked, not knowing who to ask and where to go.

"I am so tired. Let me sit for a while" She said as she sat on the sideway.

"I have come here now, where am I going to find shelter?. Old woman, you promised you will always be with me. Please come to my aid" She said as she lay on the ground and fell asleep.

"Hello dear, what are you doing under the bridge" A woman said as she gently shook the sleeping girl.

"Greetings ma, I am Stephanie. I am sorry if I made a mistake by sleeping here. I was very tired" Stephanie said as she looked at the woman.

"You have to go home dear, this place is not a good place. Bad gangs and kidnappers hang out here and you dont look like one of them. So please leave here" The woman said as she held Stephanie's hand.

"I could have left here ma'am, but I do not have anywhere to stay, nor do I have a shelter over my head" She said and then she bowed her head.

"Hmmm, okay, follow me, I will take you to my house"

"Thank you ma'am, I am ever so grateful" Stephanie said and followed the woman to where her car was parked.

"Enter my dear" she said but Stephanie was afraid of coming close to the car.

It was strange to her, she had never seen anything like it.

"Ma'am, that thing will bite me, just look at its scaring eyes, and its four legs, it does not even have eyes or nose. What kind of dangerous animal is this?" She asked moving backwards.

"The woman laughed. You do not know what this is? I guess you came from the uncivilised parts. This is a car" she said.

"I have never heared an animal called car" she said, still looking at the car.

" No my dear, it is not an animal, it is just used for transporting people and goods from one place to another" The woman explained as she entered the car and started the engine.

"See, there is no need to worry" She said as she smiled at Stephanie.

"All right ma'am, if you think it is safe then i will enter"

She entered the car, sat down and looked around. Then the woman started the car and drove all the way to her house.

🌸

Mrs Callisto was a business tycoon. She owned companies, each having branches. Though rich, she had a daughter. Her husband was a doctor who had his own hospital.

She was coming back from a meeting when she met Stephanie on the road. Being a kind hearted and a good woman, she helped her and took her to her house.

"Mum, you are back" Tina said as she hugged her mother.

"Yes dear, how was your interview" Mrs Callisto asked.

"It was fine mum, I answered almost all the questions" She said and just then she noticed someone hiding behind the door.

"Who is that?" she asked.

"Oh! Stephanie" she said as Stephanie came in, admiring the mansion .

"Who is she mum?" Tina asked.

"She is your new sister dear, I know you'l have always wanted a sister and shes here to take that place. So do accept her"

"Wow mum, thanks, she looks nice" Tina smiled as she made her way towards Stephanie.

"Hi Stephanie, I'm Tina. Come lets go to my room" She said as she held her hand.

She led her to her room. "Your room looks lovely Tina" She said as she admired Tina's room.

"Thanks Stephanie. I must admit, you really have a nice name. I am glad to have you as my sister"

"Sister?"

"Yes, ive really wanted a sister, and now i have you. Thanks for being my sister. I promise we will have a good time together" She said as she looked at her newly found sister.

"So sisters?" she said, stretching forth her hand.

" Sisters" she said as she hugged Tina who looked surprised.

"So let's start with your room. What's your favourite colour sis?"

"Purple"

"That's a nice colour. I will love to have your room beside mine so let's go take a look at the room beside mine" she said as she held Stephanie's hand and led her to her room.

"Now I'm going to resume college next week. I am so happy" Lilian laughed as she danced around her room.

She was so engrossed in dancing that she didn't know Mr Dickson entered her room

She was about to fall when Mr Dickson caught her.

"Be careful my dear or do you want to carry an injury to college?" He asked as he patted her hair.

"No dad, i am just so happy" She said as she smiled.

"That's nice dear. Get ready dear, I'm taking you shopping. We have to purchase all you need for school and new clothes and accessories too"

"Thank you dad" She said as she hugged him and ran to the bathroom.

"Such a funny girl" He said as he laughed and left the room.

"That Principal is so stupid. After all the money i gave him, he still failed me" Mrs Dickson said as she clenched her fist.

"Mum this is bad, now she is going to college in a week's time and there is nothing we can do" Priya said as she folded her hands.

" That good for nothing might have entered college, but i am still not going to allow her have the upper hand. We have only one option now Priya. We have to make sure she leaves this house no matter what. She might have entered college but making her leave will jeopardize her schooling".

"That's a good idea mum, we will have to kick her out of this house at all cost. She has stayed long enough in this house. Now the real battle begins, watch your back Lilian because what is coming after you is si big that you won't be able to run away" Priya said and then she smiled.
