I think the moment my life really changed was that day of the community track meet.

I had been running, my hair swinging behind me in all its black glory, my lungs burning, and my muscles striving to work harder. I was lost in the ecstasy of the run, not even thinking about the fellow contributors behind me. The wind was rushing, and the cool breeze of spring was tickling my skin in its heated state. I loved running distance. Just the sound of feet pounding on the sidewalk set me at ease, and sent me hovering in between worlds, but something happened that awakened me from my coma-like state.

He was kneeling in the grass, his red jacket gleaming in the last lights of the sun. His blond hair was practically shoulder length and tumbled over his shoulders, framing a perfectly angular and innocent face. He looked at me as I ran by, which normally wouldn’t phase me, but his eyes captivated me as soon as they connected with my own. I slowed to a walk as I moved closer to him, from which he retreated.

His entire frame was aimed to run off into the trees behind him, his angelic face caught in the light. I could feel myself being sucked into those grey, emotionless eyes. They seemed to be reeling me in, like a fishing line.

The sound of shoes slapping against pavement woke me up. I turned to see if it was too late to take my place back up and leave this freaky boy behind in these weird, glowing yellow flowers. I still had time. I turned back, for some reason I couldn’t explain, only to see that he was already gone.

It took me a day later to remember that there was a heavy flowing stream behind those trees that you couldn’t cross, nor were the trees thick enough to hide in. He had literally either disappeared into thin air, or drowned.

I was never the same again.

Yes, this story IS about faeries.
I've never studied/read/watched a movie about faeries in my entire life.
Why in God's name am I writing about them, then?
Beats me.
It's all I have as ideas go right now, and I'm flying with it. Sorry if it's a LOT confusing or it doesn't make any sense. I'm having some issues getting my thoughts onto the screen, if you know what I mean.
-blushes and sighs-

Be kind,
