Taken by Fairies

There are many ways I could try and explain to you what had happened to me, but I’ll just start from the beginning. Me and my family are taking a trip to the mountains about an hour away. I live in Oklahoma so there isn’t many places for us to go. I’m about 12 years old on this trip. We stop and eat sandwiches that we packed for the trip and take a look at the scenery every once in a while, before we actually get to our destination. We have made it to the mountain and we’re about to hike up, there’s at least five of us, my grandma me my sister my dad and my granddad. It’s not too bad of a hike on like maybe one or 2 miles and with no real rugged terrain. Me being curious I decided to wander off halfway up the mountain. Thinking that I can just make it back with no problem, and well I get lost. I felt like I walked for hours and he will try to make it back to the car but I just couldn’t find it or them. I notice it starts to get dark outside, and while I’m wandering around looking for my family I end up running into a small pond with lots of vegetation and flowers of all different kinds. I don’t know what it was but I started to hear something in the back of my head telling me to get closer. It was like someone shut the sun off whenever I got close enough to the pond, there was no moon just darkness. Little balls of light started to rise from the water, And start to fly towards me. There’s a conflict going on in my mind because i’m not scared but scared. There has to be at least 20 small balls of light that are floating in front of me. I keep hearing small voices in the back of my head, just realizing that The voices in the back of my head or actually The small balls of light in front of me. They’re all talking to me but it seems I can talk to all of them at once. I don’t remember the questions they asked me and I don’t remember the answers that I gave them, I wish I did. They kept me for what seemed like weeks or maybe even months. I started to see my body change, like I was getting older or more mature. The longer I stay the more Time started to speed up. The fairies look like they were just playing on top of the pond the whole time. Before I knew it I was an old man. I was so confused I started to look at my body and wonder what happened. I started to weather away by getting weaker and it felt like my bones were turning the dust as I sat there. The fairies came up to me and told me that life is short and if I ever go off path sometimes it’s a good thing sometimes it’s not, so I should still be cautious about things I do. As my eyes were beginning to close the fairies all approached me and started to laugh. Once my eyes were closed it was just pure darkness. After what seemed like forever my eyes open again, but I was just back in front of the pond young again. I sat on the ground for a good minute before my family found me and asked where I’ve been for the last two hours. I tried to tell them everything that happened but for some reason that part of my memory was blocked. The pond that was in front of me that looks so beautiful once before and I just look like a crater inside the ground. I’m 20 now and I still wanted to this day where those fairies took me, did they want to teach me something, were they just having fun, I don’t know but that experience was the most confusing thing in my entire life.
