Look mummy, I just lost a tooth, I told mum
Awwwwwn, you gradually growing my baby, you will place the tooth right under your pillow, and at midnight the fairy of the tooth would visit you, my mum said.
Mum, are you sure? I asked. Aunt Rejoice said same thing
Then it's true my darling.
I believed her and eagerly waited for midnight. I couldn't sleep that night. It felt like a day before Christmas when we would keep wake in eagerness to unbox our packages. I kept playing video games until I was tired. I laid there thinking about what my fairy would look like, what she would say or what she would give me. Midnight struck but she didn't show, I was quite disappointed as I sluggish dragged myself to sleep. I really wanted to see a fairy as I read about them only in my story books about their magic, maybe she would give me a silver shoe as Cinderella's, I thought. I dozed off while in my thoughts and I awaken by the sound of my name.
Emilia, Emilia the voice called,
Oh mum it's still too early I just slept
I am the fairy godmother of the tooth and I came to get the tooth under your pillow....the voice said
My ears shot as I woke up immediately and handed her the tooth. Come with me, she said.
Wow, the field was pretty, the flowers beautiful, the leaves and grasses so green, the birds pretty, the air was so chill with so many other fairies flying around. I was thrilled by what I saw as the tooth fairy took me around.
Be careful not to touch anything as everything here is magical, she said....But I was drawn to this beautiful red and white rose, it's just a flower, what's the worst that could happen, I thought....I touched the petals and immediately I was stuck, the petals engulfed my hands, spreading to my elbow, the petal was swallowing me. I kept screaming but I couldn't hear myself. Stop struggling and stand still, my tooth fairy said. This time I listened and the flower let go. Hmmmmm I sighed out.
It's almost dark break and you must get back if not you'd be stuck here, for your tooth you have one wish she added. My dad had gone for the war and it's been more than 2 years since I last saw him. I miss him everyday and I see my mum crying while praying with his portrait.
I want my daddy to come back home safely, I said
Emilia, Emilia, this time it was my mum
You need to get up and prepare, your dad just called, he's at the airport we need to go pick him darling so hurry up please.
Seeing my mum all happy made me smile, thankyou fairy God mother of the tooth for bringing dad back.
