Olive - The Chosen One Read Free Page B

Olive looked out of her bedroom window which was located in one of the trunks, she realized that this was going to be a very huge day.  Before any festivities were to take place Priscilla the fairy God-mother would arrive to bestow the ten wishes on her in front of everybody and proclaim that Olive was the chosen one. She trembled inside with sheer excitement.  She had been waiting for this day for what seemed like an eternity and on top of all of this, Oak was coming to her party.  She was hoping to dance with him and perhaps flirt a little.  After all she was now eighteen and he was in her heart.  She thought he was her soul mate.  She felt it in every little fairy bone of her body. 
        Before she could get ready for the actual party, she put on her white fairy dress with a tutu underneath.  This ensemble had been passed down from generation to generation.  It was only given to the chosen one.  Her mamma had suggested that she wear a diamond tiara.  She knew it was a little over the top but, she thought ‘why not?  It is my day after all.’
        The fairy make-up artists arrived along with the fairy hair-stylists.  Destiny took her breakfast in bed, she lay there giggling with her sister.  She could hear drums in the distance, drums that called all the fairies in the land to announce that something very special was going to happen.
        She descended the stairs that wound around the main tree trunk to a round of applause.  She curtsied slightly looking around to see if Oak was there.  She spotted him standing by her cousin’s olive tree house.  She silently swallowed hard, thinking ‘this is it!’
        Priscilla the fairy God-mother flew into the middle of the fairies where a big heart of red flowers had been laid.
      ‘‘Come hither my little fairy child, stand within the circle’’ she said. 
      Olive flew into the circle of flowers.  She held her wand high above Olive’s head and said ‘‘today I bestow the ten wishes on you, use them wisely my fairy child as you will not get another chance.  Five of these wishes must be used on other people but, the other five you can use as you choose.’’
      With that she waved her magic wand, fairy dust flew out all over Olive’s beautiful jet black hair and with that she was gone.
        Fairies were cheering, shouting Brava , Brava and running towards Olive to kiss her hand.  The festivities began…….
        There was a fairy roast hog on the main table along with lots of delights, light music was playing in the background, the olive trees were swaying in the distance and everyone was in really good spirits.  Olive, Willow and Luna were beside themselves with joy.  Destiny and Cielo sat at the main table looking on proudly and beckoning the children to join them. 
        Luna looked nervously around to see whether Dandy had arrived when he came up behind him and tapped him on his shoulder.  It sent shivers down Luna’s spine.  Luna could see immediately why Dandy was given his name.  He was the dandiest dresser he had ever seen, he exuded style!  He was wearing a black tuxedo with silver trim along with an extravagant dickey bow in silver covered in Swarovski crystals.  He had on shiny black pointed fairy shoes and walked with a grace like a fairy on air.  Dandy immediately said he would like to dance but, after Luna cast a glance in his Papi’s direction he said through mumbled breath ‘‘later my friend, come and meet my family.’’
      He took Dandy over to where his father was sitting, it was respectful after all to introduce him formally.
      ‘‘This is Dandy’’ he said.
      Dandy did a slight bow and took Cielo’s hand saying ‘‘I am so very pleased to meet you.  You must be so very proud of your son and beautiful daughters.’’
      Cielo gave a false smile between gritted teeth.
    With that he went over to Destiny and kissed her on the cheek and said ‘‘madam, may I have the pleasure of
