Chapter 17: Mind-Wipe

Navya makes a video call to Selene for burrowing a party gown for her dad's birthday.

Selene: Wait .. I will check my wardrobe.

Navya: Wow... I can see it's well organized, normally you don't find time for this.

Selene: I do every weekends....!!

Selene's finger emits a blue light and lifts a party wear from a distance.. Selene ends the video call saying...I'll call you back...

Wow, party gown says Elf Abbe....

Elf Abbe: See that Lara...(mysterious Fairy)...

Selene: Why are you both here...?

Fairy Lara: So you can see us. Do you believe in tooth fairies...?

Selene: You mean fairies and unicorn..!! (In shock)...

Elf Abbe: We mean fairies and elfs are real...

Selene: But why are fairies created ?

Fairy Lara: To balance the chaos humans cause. Usually we are invisible to their eyes.. Am I right my friend pointed ears ?

Elf Abbe:  I am not your friend Lara...

Fairy Lara: You got the magic when you touched our magical book.....(to Selene)

Fairy Lara takes her wand and moves closer to Selene...

Selene: What are you going to do ?

Fairy Lara: Correcting the mistake.

Fairy Lara uses fairy dust on Selene to make her mind wipe. Selene closes her eyes and stands still...

After a minute, Selene opens her eyes and could see the elf and fairy.

Selene: What did you do to me?

Elf Abbe: We tried to do mind wipe, but couldn't do, so we are going to banish you.

Selene: Banish me...no ..way!!

Fairy Lara: I have another idea...

Selene  tries to use her hand to move forward, the magic brings her to icy hills...

Selene shivers in cold with her mouth chattering....

Selene shouts: Is there anyone? ...(shivering with her hands crossed over)..

Elf Abbe appears there.... .

Elf Abbe: Did you know how much time it took to track you.... ?

Selene: Take me home...

Elf Abbe brings Selene back to home...

Selene: I feel as if my stomach had a back flip ..

Elf Abbe: Happy now...!! Lara...

Fairy Lara:  That's good... Selene is back... Where did she go...?

Elf Abbe: Is that an important question?  What we are going to do now...?

Elf Abbe and Fairy Lara hold Selene's hands and take her to some place.

Selene: How did we get here ?

Fairy Lara: You will get used to it .

Selene: I have already seen this place. My friend used to get comics here.

Elf Abbe: Professor Peter won't be happy to know...!!

Fairy Lara: We have no other ways... You can tell him.

Elf Abbe says ...well you can do it and pushes Fairy Lara to the professor's room.

Peter is standing backside facing to Lara....

Peter: It's Lara..

Fairy Lara: How did you do that..?

Peter: Everyone has an unique aura odour... So it's easy to find....and shows the mirror...

Fairy Lara smells her shoulder to check her odour...

Fairy Lara: So.. what if I hypothetically say humans can be a fairy ?

Peter: You mean hypothetically...that's impossible for humans to be a fairy..

Elf Abbe: Selene can communicate with birds and her fingers glow.

Peter: So she saw you both ... This is fascinating...!

Fairy Lara: I tried to mind wipe, but I failed...

Peter: No...you are not qualified yet for that...

Selene:  I am right here..

Peter goes through the wall to the library. Elf Abbe follows him....

Fairy Lara takes Selene's hand and pass through the wall.

Selene: How could you do that..?

Fairy Lara: That's a magic wall...

They all enter the library.....

Selene: What is this place ?

Peter: This is the Library of Magic.

Selene: But how it supposed to be so.... big..?

Peter: Once I got lost here.. it took me two days to find out my way.

The ladder moves by itself to Peter ..

Peter says....Not now...

Selene: You talk to a ladder...?

Peter: If I don't, the ladder sulks...

Peter takes them to his office...

Peter: Have a seat... Let's talk about it... So either any of your parents magical... ?

Selene: No.. My dad is a business man and my mom is a teacher...

Peter: Have you done anything magical before?

Selene: All I did magical was to dress up myself for my 8th birthday.

Peter: Then how did you got into magic..?

Fairy Lara: It's all your fault Abbe. You stole the book from the library.

Professor Peter gives them a surprised look...!!

Elf Abbe: I borrowed the book from the library. And you came with a wand behind me. I defended myself and It got in my way (pointing Selene).

Selene: I didn't, the book was hanging in the mid-air ..I touched it..

Peter: This was the serious misuse of magic.What book was it..?

Elf Abbe: The theory and practise of conjuring.

Peter: An elementary text..There is nothing special about it..!!

Selene: So can you help me..?

Peter: First I have to learn about your abilities.... For that you have to stay here..

Selene: No way... I will just leave...

Peter: Selene ..you have no idea of what you are capable of. You might end up in a serious trouble.

Selene: I will be fine....I won't say a word about this and we can pretend it never happened. Sound good ....?

Selene approaches the wall...

Peter: You can't leave without one of us.....

Selene crosses the wall by herself...

Selene says..."I just did that"...

Peter takes some books from the library...He says.... "That was unexpected"...

Fairy Lara: What are you going to do about her ?

Peter: I am not sure. Humans with magical powers are unprecedented.

Fairy Lara: What are you going to do about us ? Do you have to tell my dad about what happened?

Elf Abbe: What to tell ? The professor hasn't figured out what's going on. So until it does.. There is no point in telling anything right ?

Fairy Lara: But we are still in super big trouble...aren't we.. ?

Peter: Removing books without permission. Improper use of magic that was seen by humans. Attempting a mind- wipe....!!

Fairy Lara: We're expelled. I knew it.

Elf Abbe: We took the initiative to solve the problem ourselves.

Peter: Very true. While I look into this further. You keep an eye on the girl.
