Location: Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, U.S.A

My name is Chaska Looks Twice. I'm a 16 year old Native American and a proud member of the Oglala Lakota nation.

Originally my birth name was Tyler Morrison but when I was 5 social workers took me away from my parents due to negligence and after hearing the news my grandfather allowed me to live with him. He legally changed my name to Chaska Looks Twice as his reasoning was that he didn't want his grandson carrying a white man's name.

Four months ago I was arrested for robbing and assaulting some rich white girl and put into Juvenile Hall due committing a hate crime as the court called it. I call it long overdue vengeance for what her people done to the Lakota and all native Americans.

While I'm quietly sitting in my cell I hear footsteps heading my way.

"Looks like today is your lucky day son." The officer says as he opens my cell door and tosses me a duffel bag. After I change into my civilian clothes that were inside the duffel bag he offers to drive me home.

"You sure? It's a 2 hour drive to the rez?" I explain to him. "Least I can do since you were let out early on good behaviour." He says as he flashes a toothy grin at me and signals me to get into his car.

After a long and uneventful drive we arrive at the Pine Ridge Reservation. The car stops as we pull up at my Aunt's house.

"Chaska you're back!"

My Aunt Mable says as she pulls me into a tight embrace. I hug her back as well.

"Cousin Chaska! You're back!" my younger cousins, Devin and Rebecca, run into my arms.

I hug them back and we go eat dinner. After I finish eat my dinner, I remember that before I go lay down there is still one place I need to go to. I muster up the courage to ask Mable.

"Hey Mable, is it okay if I can go to the sacred hill? I know it's getting dark now but I promise I'll be quick."

"Yes yes it's fine Chaska I know how important that hill is to you." She says to me.

I put on a jersey and head to the "sacred" hill. The reason I call it that is because grandpa always told me of how many important events took place at or near the hill.

I arrive to the hilltop and sit down. Watching the Orange setting sun was relaxing but at the same time also brought up old memories of me and my grandfather. Without realising it hot tears fall down my cheeks.

Ever since grandpa died from lung cancer 5 years ago my life had been in free fall. I was forced to move back in with my mother in Rapid City as at the time my Aunt was still living in Los Angeles. My mother and her boyfriend were alcoholics. When they weren't insulting me I was getting the occasional beating.

The final straw was when my mother threw a beer bottle at me in a drunken rage and severely scarred my face. I was hospitalised for 2 days and after that was placed in a foster home with a white family but I ran away as I still remembered grandpa's words.

"Remember Chaska, never befriend a white person. They are two headed snakes who will stab you in the back when given the chance."

As I sat weeping silently, someone, or rather something was pulling me from behind. I try and hold on the grass but alas, my efforts are futile as I'm sucked into the vortex.

I land with a soft thud in some kind of forest. "Crap, it's almost night time." I express, getting up and walking forward, hoping I'll eventually reach civilisation. After walking for what felt like hours I realisr it's now pitch black and I can't see very far ahead now. Defeated I simply slump next to a tree and fall asleep.

2 Hours Later:

SMACK!

"Hey what the hell!" I yell to whoever woke me up and see two miniature humans with red and green hair floating above me.

"Sorry about that mister. My name is Rose and this is Sariah, we are fairies. What's your name?" the little red haired fairy named Sariah asks me, her voice sounding like she just inhaled helium.

"Chaska, Say by any chance do you have a place for me to stay?" I ask hopefully.

"Yes we do! Actually we have an entire Kingdom where we play games with our big sister Amelia everyday." Sariah announces while flying around me.

"Alright, let's get going then." I tell the two fairies, relieved that luck is on my side for a change.

Rose and Sariah lead me to a large tree. They tell me to close my eyes and count to three witn them. I do so and open my eyes.

Woah.

The scenery of this place is breathtaking. It's like something I'd see in a dream.

The previously pitch black forest was now brightly illuminated by 2 pink moons. The trees here all had blue leaves. The night sky also had those northern lights you'd only see in the Arctic and Antarctica. Which made it all the more impressive.

I'm just drinking in the scenery, if I could I'd stay here forever.

"Chaska! Chaska!"

One of the fairies snaps me out of my trance

"Come on, we still have to introduce you to Amelia." Rose says barely containing her excitement.

I won't lie, I'm a little nervous and excited right now.

Something about this place... made me happy. I don't know if it's the scenery or the peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, maybe it's both.

We arrive at a giant lake that had an island in the middle. Said island also had a giant tree that also had blue leaves.

Rose and Sariah simply fly to the island while I cross the only bridge leading there and open the oak door.

"Hello there."

A calming voice that could put a baby to sleep greets me.

"Hi there ma'am." I greet her nervously, her beauty was breathtaking. Her golden blonde hair that reaches her hips, blue eyes, milky white skin, flower-esque clothing that showed off her womanly figure and her purple butterfly wings.

My heart was beating fast now and my face heated up.

"No need to be so formal dear, my name is Amelia, what is yours?" She asks me.

"Chaska" I sat to her.

"That is a beautiful name. Come sit next to me." Amelia instructs of me.

I sit next to her and we spend the next few hours playing some genuinely fun games together with the fairies. After we're done we head back to Amelia' s tree house.

"Did you enjoy yourself Chaska?" Amelia asks me.

"Yes very much. Thank you so much Amelia."

"For what Chaska? I should be the one thanking you. Because of you I know have a playmate my size." Amelia states playfully as she pulls me into a hug.

"Back home I was always stressed out you know. Always dreading the next day. Always worrying if I'll have enough food to eat or a roof over my head. But here, especially around you, I feel so at peace. That with you everything will be ok. Please can i stay with you permanently? Please?" I basically beg her at this point.

"Of course Chaska, you're more than welcome to live here in the Fairy Kingdom. If you want I'll be your friend, big sister or... something more." She says looking away blushing.

"Thank you so much!" I embrace Amelia, tears not of sorrow but of joy stream down my face now.

"Don't worry little brother" she reassures me while rubbing the back of my head. "Your big sister is here for you. I'll always be here for you."

Her words melt my heart, and before I know it exhaustion gets the better of me. I feel Amelia carry me bridal style and hear wings flapping and vaguely see the ground get smaller.

"Sleep tight" Amelia says as she plants a kiss on my lips.

For the first in my life since grandpa passed away I'm truly happy and at peace. He wasn't a bad person but Amelia is proof that you can't judge all people just by the colour of their skin.
