Magic Girl

 I woke up from under the tree I had slept under, it was freezing.. All I wanted was a family and a home. I started walking around and soon found myself in a field full with crops, and people. When I started walking around a man came up to me and yelled “Get back to picking out those weeds!” he said. That’s when I started working as a farmer. As I started to pick some of the weeds next to the crops that were growing a lady that had a kind smile on her face started working next to me. She asked “Are you new here I’ve never seen you before, what’s your name?”. I thought to myself what is my name, I have never been called anything before so I guess I have no name. I told her, “I don’t have a name.” and she said back to me “Well everyone has a name but since you don’t I could help you figure out your name.”


I nodded my head and she said a few names, “Merry, Ivy, Ella”, none of them really sounded interesting to me until she said “Beatrice”. It sounded so happy and it was beautiful I loved it.. She could tell I liked that name and said “Well now you're Beatrice nice to meet you I’m Rose.”. Rose had put me to where I was feeding them sheep's and cows, goats and chickens. but I was always too afraid to go feed the ox even if it wasn’t that big. She could tell that I was good with animals even though I’ve never really touched one before and actually owned one. They were afraid of everyone but me, they wouldn't come out to it until the person left and no one was around they only came to me so I stayed working there. I felt bad for the sheep's though they didn’t weigh that much or look very healthy we didn't really have anything for them, no food that was good enough for them.


Rose started making me do multiple things in just one day! However it wasn’t that hard. The only new thing that she made me do is start to fertilize the soil, but all we did was put manure on the soil. Which made it smell so bad but it still helped, but wasn't the best it took weeks for a crop to finally grow at least that's what Rose told me. I wanted to try something, making something that would make it grow or fertilize the soil faster than before. However what could I do? There was a small piece of clay on the ground and for some reason I made me have the urge to use that clay on the soil but what could clay do? I grabbed the piece of clay and smeared it onto the soil and added a crop with it but I already knew that it wasn't gonna work, but it's worth a try.

I went back to feed the animals and didn’t worry about it too much. I saw the ox but this time I wasn’t scared. I didn’t notice that I was staring at it and that I slowly started moving closer towards the ox. That’s when we made eye contact, we were just staring eye to eye. I slowly got some food out in my hand and holded my hand out. The ox  just stared at me for a few seconds..then slowly got up and moved closer to me. It finally came close enough to where it took the food from my hand and that’s when I realized why had I been so afraid of this ox? I pet the ox and gave it more food then went over to check on how the soil was. As I was a few feet away from where I had used my clay that I randomly decided to use on the soil and the soil was dark brown. All the other areas wren't even close to that kind of brown. It worked I thought to myself...it worked!!!! Everyone saw me start jumping up and down and spinning and ran over to see what was wrong. Rose came up to me and said "Beatrice what's wrong did someone do something?!?!" I replied back to her "It worked Rose it worked!!! Look at the soil!"

Rose looked at the soil and her eyes widened, she said "The soil it looks like it had been watered for days and really fertilized...Beatrice did you do that?" I nodded my head and everyone just stared at me for a second...I looked at Rose again and everyone else again they all had huge smiles on their faces even the boys that didn't like me. Rose hugged me and said "Now we will grow crops so much faster thanks to what you have done! By the way what did you use?" I told her clay and no one could believe it that clay helped the soil become like that. She said "What a odd way to fertilize the soil...maybe you really are a Magic Girl". Everyone cheered for what had just happened and they all thanked me I was happy I could help everyone grow crops faster but still tonight I would go back to that same old tree I woke up at and have no family and no home..."Oh yeah Beatrice" I looked up at her surprised "Yeah?'' she said "I can tell that you don't have a family or a home to sleep in...so I was wondering if you would like to live with me..I could definitely use some company and I would love to have you!". I just stared at her..water had started coming out of my eyes..what is this? I ran towards Rose and hugged her and said "Yes of course!"

For the next few days had been great, Rose and I have been having a great time together and the crops have started to grow was quicker! I was happy and felt magical inside maybe I am a Magic Girl...I laughed at myself "I could never be a Magic Girl" and I went back inside my house with Rose.
