My soul sister and I were walking through
the woods, bored with nothing to do. Kicking
the autumn leaves and moaning about how
unfair life is after our mums had kicked us out
of the house confiscating our phones and all
technology for an hour.
How unfair.
Our heads were bowed, and our faces drooped
with an overall feeling of frustration at being
in the outdoors. I looked up and across to my
right after a large gust of wind slapped me
across the face.
There in the trees was an old, wooden looking
door with a brass knob in the centre, inset into
a large red heart within a gold circle. The red
heart appeared to be glowing and pulsing and
the gold circle sparkling like you would see in
a cartoon.
“Faye, look over there,” I said. “What is that?
Let’s see what is through there.”
“No Vikki, we only have 10 minutes until we can
be home and I have to do my streaks and if
you don’t reply in your group chats, they will
think that you have ‘aired’ them and they will
be horrible again to you at school tomorrow,”
Faye replied.
“But Faye, the door looks alive, come on, we
will be in and out in 5 minutes and look there
appears to be a path leading there, come on.”
With that I grabbed her arm and dragged
her to the door. The heart was alive, well it
appeared to be.
I stopped for a second, thinking, what the hell!
What is this? But I remembered one of my
favourite films of all times, The Lion, The Witch
and the Wardrobe and thought, stuff it, I am
going through. What have I got to lose? If it is
like the movie, I love snow anyway.
I gave Faye ‘the look’, the look to say if you aren’t
coming fine, but I’m going. She knew that ‘look’,
so linked my arm as I opened the large door.
My heart was beating so fast, but with
excitement and my mouth appeared to drop
to the floor. Then a feeling came over me, a
feeling I have never ever experienced before.
It was as if I was surrounded by glitter and

diamonds and fairy dust. I appeared to be
floating.
I couldn’t see anything of my surroundings
other than sparkles.
The smile on my face and the feeling inside me
was surreal, it was like happy emptiness but
full emptiness, if that makes sense.
It was divine.
I embraced the feeling and my body started
moving. I was moving like a horse, but I
appeared to still be floating.
My mind perked and I quickly thought of Faye.
I opened my eyes and looked to my left where
Faye was when we entered the door.
OH MY GOD
The expression on my face must have been
one of absolute ‘shock’.
“Faye, you are a unicorn!” I said.
What on earth?
Sparkles and diamonds and fairy dust were
still surrounding us.
What is this? What is going on? I thought. The
realisation that this must be a dream floated
over me.
Then Faye (unicorn Faye) spoke, it was her
voice, coming out of a unicorn’s mouth. “Vikki,
you are a unicorn too. You are gold with the
most stunning, glittering horn covered in
diamonds. Your tail and mane are black like
silk. What colour is my horn? Tell me, tell me,”
she screamed with such excitement in her
voice.
I looked at Faye, she was the most amazing
glittering light pink colour with a rainbow
coloured horn sparkling as if it was moving
and glowing like a real rainbow. Her mane was
deep pink and flowed like silk. Faye loved pink!
Then, all realisation that this was perhaps a
dream, disappeared.
The smiles across our faces were the biggest
ever, well they appeared to be as I had never
seen a unicorn smile before. To be honest, I
had never seen a unicorn.
We galloped through the sparkles and fairy
dust. When I say gallop, we were floating so
it was only the movements. The sparkles
