Adiela part 2

Okay, so this is reallllllllllllllly long. But i wanted to post the whole thing, so here is the second part of Adiela








Adiela awoke to her mother cooking some perfectly seasoned oatmeal with raspberries and other spices from Sunny, Adielas master fairy. All the girls under twenty had there own master fairy and boys there own master dwarfs. They would teach them to weave, cook, hunt and build. Adiela wished she could learn from a dwarf, but King Bartholomew proclaimed it was against the law. So every night, Pierre, her brother would teach Adiela what he learned from Tuffet, his master dwarf, which was fun to learn and also, good to have two abilities she could do.  The fairies and dwarfs were also loyal friends to the boys and girls. But not to Adiela. Sunny was the most annoying, old, bragging fairy Adiela had ever met. She hated going to her classes. Especially since they weren’t even about how to fight.
As Adiela sat down and scooped the oatmeal into her mouth, she thoughfully chewed up every spice and raspberries and pieces of oat seperatly.
“Hello Pierre.” She said to the messy-haired boy, who was her brother and who now trudged down the stairs, wiggiling his tooth with his tongue. “I want it to come out!” He wailed. “I want to catch the tooth fairy! I’ve seen her once, and she was beautiful!” “No! Ye mustn’t! She’s th’ only fairy livin’ who can carry yer teeth!” Adiela cried, swallowing her raspberry whole. “But I could keep her as a pet! I’d sell her to ye for that hunky unicorn ye found….” “No way! I’d tan yer hide if ye eve’ tried to steal the lassie!” Adiela made a fist. “Settle down, children! I’ve had enough camotion for one mornin’ I tell ye. Now ye’ve got to eat quickly, and go ride to Tuffet and Sunny.” Mrs. Veavet said. “Hmph. Unicorn Poonicorn. Shes as stupid as a hog.” Pierre whispered. Adiela smiled grimly. “Ye’re just jealous.” She whispered back.
When they had finished the oatmeal, Pierre cleaned up his bowl, but Adiela was to much in a hurry. Pretty soon, Sunny would clean up the tea and cookies they shared every morning, and she would put away the Monday paper which was always exciting, especially at the time when they picked who was going to be in the dragon hunt, and especially since the hunt was in two weeks. And she didn’t want to miss out on that. She raced down the river, and hopped over it. Of course she got a splotch of mud on her dress, but Sunny would help clean it off. She ran a little further into the woods, and saw a distant shine of ruby. She went closer to the stall, and watched the other boys and girls on there plain horses, admiring her Hooves. “Excuse me, but could ye move out of the way a little? I’m trying to get her. She is mine you know. I found her.” Okay, so maybe she was bragging a little bit. The other boys and girls, about her age who were admiring Hooves stepped back, admiring Adiela, for the fact that she owned the unicorn, just as much as Hooves. She  got onto Hooves and all the children asked her if they may please pet her horn, and in a nice mood, Adiela agreed.
Adiela rode threw the woods. The faster she went, the faster her eyes teared up and her cheeks turned pink. It was September after all. She was careful not to ride over any dwarf’s homes, including Tuffet’s.
When Adiela thought she had reached Sunny’s tree, she knocked on it ever so gently. Then, out of the hole in the tree popped a small childish head of a fairy. Her cheeks were pink and chubby and her dress was muroon. She reminded Adiela like a raspberry.  But today her face was outraged. “That poison apple! The stupid thing! The color blind rodent!” Adielas eyes were wide and wondering. “Whats the matter, Sunny?” Adiela asked her. “The king!” She cried. “He disrespects me! And to think! You were just learning to be a proper lady! Humph! I’m not a trained Dwarf! My gracious! He’s a stupid ol’ man who can only think up the worst, and at the last moment, CHANGE THE LAWS!” “Sunny. Mellow down. First, lets sit down and have some tea and cookies and read the morning paper. Then ye can tell me what all this is about. Okay?” “But that is what it’s about! The morning paper! Read it, and you’ll see!” Adiela rolled her eyes and got her magnifying glass. ‘It would have been easier to read are human-sized one’, she thought, but she could make out the words on the tiny slip of paper.
It read:


SUPER FAIRY NEWS! READ BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

This year, not enough boys have been old enough for the annual dragon hunt. The king, although he hasn’t for a century, has changed the law; girls are now intended to go on the trip. The king has looked at the list of eleven year old girls of the village, and chosen one special, charming, brave (and we hope so) girl to go on the hunt. And her name is: Adiela Julianna Veavet. Each person attending the hunt will receive a letter at midnight about what to learn and where. If you’d like to know more, attend to the kings annual ball and he will talk.      




Adiela read it over and over again to make sure she wasn’t blind. She looked towards Sunny. “I-I’m going on the dragon hunt?” Sunny nodded. “You’ll also be learning from a dwarf how to hunt and defend, and you’ll receive a letter tonight at midnight. But the worst: I’ll never be able to teach you to be a lady. If you are on a three week hunt, you’ll miss three weeks of class, and so you won’t be able to catch up. With being taught by a dwarf, you don’t need to catch up! I guess I’ll bid you goodbye, and that’ll be that. You’re turning into a man!” She yelled grumpily. She shook Adiela’s finger, (which had gone numb from shock) and went to baking more fairy cakes. Adiela was half happy and half just plain shocked. She wasn’t exactially sad, though. She felt happy and content that she was going to be taught by a dwarf, but she didn’t know if she had the guts to go on a three week hunt. She might die. She might starve. And she was only eleven years old.
As she rode Hooves home, she thought about what Sunny had said. “I am turning into a man.” she thought.
