I haven't written in years and when I did it wasn't that good but I was inspired to start again since I have started reading books that I really love and also because my sister came up with some awesome OCs that I really like.
This story is about the main OC, Yaari, and goes back into basically a flash back of when Yaari first discovered her specialty with singing and the power it has over others.
OCs:
Yaari, Jamari, Momosi, and Fahil (c)Rini-Bunny & Suki-shine

First Melodies~
When Yaari was about four years old she went to the Celebration of Summers that the Kadherdin faeries held annually in mid summer.
There she heard sounds new to her but familiar at the same time.
She had heard the rustling of leaves and the pulse of her heart and even the whistle of birds but never a melody
such as presented that day. It was singing. She was mesmerized by what vibrations flowed from the lips of the
entertainers. It gave her such a sensation that nothing had ever given her before- passion.
She felt so alive while she listened.
The rest of the carnival was spent within a few short hours enjoying dancing
and singing.
When Yaari, her elder brother, Jamari, and parents were on their way home Yaari's sweet tooth suddenly kicked in
when she remembered seeing her Mimosi buy a few treats at the carnival and tucking them into her bag.
She pleaded,
"Mimosi, may I plea-se have a honey sucker? I haven't had anything sweet all day!"
Mimosi instantly retorted,
"No. Nothing before supper and I don't want to hear you say anything about it."
Yaari sighed knowing that asking repeatedly wasn't going to get her anywhere with Mimosi.
If only her Fahil was there. He spoiled her good and could easily persuade Mimosi
with his charm.
"Hmm...", she pondered, "There must be a way to get what I want without getting in trouble.
I got it; Others were singing at the carnival. So can I. It doesn't look too hard and then I wouldn't be directly disobeying. Hehe."
She cleared her throat and attempted to sing a high pitch which she over-estimated and ended erroneously.
It was a sad first try and Jamari's face cringed like a raisin at the yelp.
Frustrated more than embarrassed at failing she focused on the tones she planned to sing before she uttered them.
Then she began," Oh, Mimosi, I would very much like a honey sucker~ Just one is all~ Oh please I will be ever so grateful!"
At the end of her scattered but surprisingly in tune performance
she found both Jamari and her Mimosi to seem completely bewitched by her singing and not only that but Mimosi
had reached for her bag and was handing her a honey sucker.
Yaari eagerly took the candy from her before she could change her mind and popped it in her mouth.
Within a few minutes all went back to normal and Jamari again reminding Mimosi of his most wanted gifts
for his upcoming birthday.
Later in the evening after the last meal had been eaten Mimosi gave Yaari a honey sucker. Upon receiving it she
smiled mischievously but dared not speak a word about what happened earlier just in case it would be taken from
her.
During that whole week she experimented more with singing and found that when she performed around others she got
exactly what she wanted. She lived it up to the fullest even skipping lessons to go eat sweets and play.
After about a month she started feeling guilty about being dishonest with her parents about where all the candy
went and why she smelled like she hadn't bathed in at least two weeks so she stopped singing around other people
unless she thought she really needed to. Which when it came to sweets...was fairly often.
The End~
