*is nervous* So have another drabble..
Once again, prompt given by Jonas before he left to Italy.
Original : Dreamcatcher
Thalia smiles while she runs through the town. Her feet barely touching the ground. If you'd see her pass by, you'd think she's flying...
She has to resist the urge to whistle. Or to sing. She doesn't know what makes her so happy tonight. Perhaps it was the full moon that was shining brightly in the night sky. Perhaps it were the stars that were twinkling in the cloudless sky. Perhaps it was the playfull wind that guided her. She doesn't know. And actually it doesn't really matter...
Dreamcatcher. Dreamcatcher...
They call her and of course she listens. She always listens. Not because she has too, there are ways enought to block everything. No, she listens because she wants to.
She turns left, finding out the street has a dead end. But there is no stopping her. It only takes one jump to get over the high wall before her. She loves the town and its inhabitants. But she loves nature more. The trees, the flowers, the animals that live in the forest.
Dreamcatcher ...
Her clear laughter echoes through the sky when she hears their voices. Eventhough they are nowhere to be seen, she knows they are smiling. Waiting for her.
Dreamcatcher. Sister. Hurry...
Too many voices. She can't hear everything they are all saying. But she understands it none the less. She feels what they tell her.
The people of the village don't believe anymore. They don't believe the fairytales they tell their children to keep them sweet. They don't believe in the existence of elves and fairies and unicorns and griffins. Not anymore... They lost their childhood faith and fantasy. And the believe they had when the were little.
She grins when she sees little fairies coming closer. Their little wings glowing in the dark. Bright, soft colours. Yellow and orange and red and light pink and white and a few blue ones. It are playful creatures. Wanting to create laughter and bring joy and happiness. But sometimes they are to small to understand some things. She winches when a couple of little hands grab locks of her hair. Raven black hair. After all, she is a creature of the night.
Come home, Dreamcatcher. Come back home.
She still smiles, but there is a sad look in her eyes. Sometimes she wants nothing more. Escape from the live she lives now, go back into the forest and travel to the stars. Playing, laughing, flying with the other elves and fairies. To ask her wings back... But then she remembers her human friends. And how she can help them. They don't know how, but sometimes there dreams are being fullfilled. Small wishes. Little things to make them happy. That's why they call her Dreamcatcher. Because she knows, she sees, she feels. A dream is a wish yor heart makes. And she makes them come true...
That's why she live in the human world during the day. And at night she roams the forest with her magical friends. Perhaps one day, when her human friends have grown older, and they too have lost all ability to believe, perhaps then she will finally return home...
The End
