Chapter 12

The week after the revelation of my new ‘supernatural’ status passed in a blur. I had to admit that I had a lot more on my mind than just the ‘you’re a fairy’ part. The ‘someone wants you dead’ and the ‘my first heartbreak’ parts somehow overshadowed that.

My parents took it rather well that I was not coming home for Thanksgiving, giving me an ‘I understand baby, it’s a long trip for such a short time’ from my mom, and a ‘It’s okay, kiddo. I know freshman year is hard, better stay there and study’ from my father.

This reaction from such overprotective parents made me wonder how much they knew about my true origins, but that was a question that would have to wait because Tamlin and I… Well let’s just say that, it was mostly awkwardness and hurt every time our eyes met.

We tried to minimize our encounters, and I tried to be obedient and spent most of my free time in my room as I knew that the protection from afar was probably a pain for him.

I sighed; I had never thought that I would fall in love but I did.

I also painfully learned that loving someone and having them love you back didn’t mean you’d get to be together. Ironically enough, the moment we confessed our love for each other was also the moment my heart broke.

“Earth to Fay.” I heard a masculine voice from behind me, bringing me back to reality. I turned around briskly.

Gareth was standing on the threshold of my room, looking at me curiously.

“Gareth? What— Hi!” I was genuinely happy to see him.

We were spending more and more time together, and I enjoyed it. For a couple of hours every day, I got to forget about my problems and it felt good.

He was my friend, a good friend. I knew that his feelings for me were a bit more ambiguous, but I kept reminding him, more or less subtlety, that I didn’t want to get romantically involved with anyone.

“Sorry, I knocked a couple of times and the door was open. I—” He really looked embarrassed.

“Don’t worry about it.” I shook my head.

I closed the book I was reading on myths and legends I found in the library. Since I couldn’t get my answers from Tamlin, I took it upon myself to look into my origins, but it was mostly unhelpful fantasies.

“Please, come in.” I gestured him in.

“So, on what planet were you?” he teased, closing the door.

“I could tell you, but I would have to kill you.”

He raised his hands in surrender. “I surrender to the dark force.”

“Good.” I chuckled. “Oh, wait! I have something for you.” I took a little silvery package from my desk, throwing it to him.

He looked down at it curiously, like he’d never seen a gift before.

“You know it’s just a gift; it won’t bite you or anything. I swear,” I joked.

He looked back at me, and when I saw the tenderness in his eyes, I started to regret the gesture.
