What Do You Think Of This Short Story On Drinking With A Faery?
The next morning I was still lying back on the velvet cushions. A different feeling surged through me – strength. Melantha was beside me, awake and smiling intently.
“I thought your eyes were going to stay shut forever. You’re much more beautiful now, in my opinion. Not that you weren’t gorgeous before, but you’re just so stunning.” Her hand stroked my hair, like I was her pet.
“Melantha, what are you talking about?” My voice came out rugged.
She chuckled. “Oh, I forgot. You’re oblivious to what you are, aren’t you? How silly of me." As if she was thinking, she paused. “Come.” Melantha clutched my wrist, sending a chill through my body. “Close your eyes, my love.” Without a word, I did as she ordered.
Melantha led me through the room, over and around the things that rested on the floor. She stopped me and with force and twisted me so that I was facing a certain way.
Melantha murmured, “Open, young one.” And she pecked my cheek.
My eyes shot open, and what was standing in front of me was someone I would have envied if I saw him – only black and gold swirls spiraled onto his back from the wings that were sprouting from his back. The Faery had jet black hair that swept to the side, pastel skin and his eyes were dark, empty pits. The Faery was me.
My unknown reflection made me gape. “Melantha,” With satisfaction practically twinkling in her eyes, she nodded, “What have you done?”
“Aren’t you pleased, my love?” Gloominess muffled her expression, but I knew it was all an act. “Melantha, you’ve turned me into a Shadow Faery!” A crease formed on my forehead, as I gave her an outraged look.
She seemed truly taken aback, “Young one, didn’t you know? Never drink with Faeries.”
“What did you give me, Melantha?” I spat through exposed teeth.
"Dear, that's really irrelevant. We're together now. Besides, what are you going to do about it? You can’t change back and if you try and run away, you know I’ll find you.” She flicked her tongue so that it made a ticking sound, and shook her index finger.
Tears welled in my murky eyes, “Why me? I was just an ordinary human, petty enough to fall for your tricks, your good looks.”
“Faeries are supposed to be beautiful, and you were perfect, you are perfect.” Melantha wrapped her arms around my waist and brushed her lips against my earlobe and whispered, “My Caleb.”
I re-wrote parts of this just then, and I'd like some opinions. What do you think? Please, don't just say 'that was amazing, write more!' Or variations of it. I'd really appreciate some advice

i like it a whole lot.I think you have great talent
It's better than 99% of the stuff posted on here.Some slipshod grammar, but eh.It's probably better than anything I could ever write, and I'm doing 4 unit English.EDIT: Procrastination time. I hate homework.So, second sentence I've noticed errors. "I leaned forward to its bewitching power, its aroma made me go into a trance."Don't put "made." Use something a lot more creative like "pulling me into a trance" or "luring me into a trance".But if you don't like that, but the word AND in.I know you're probably trying to go for the "broken effect," which can be cool if you do it correctly.And your paragraphing sucks.You've got to break the lines down a bit. I know you might have done it to fit it all into one question, but seriously consider breaking up your lines more."The next morning … " yawn. The proceeding morning sounds so much better.Or "When I awoke the next morning."That sounds better
Ba ha. I sound so arrogant.Like, I *know* what I'm doing. – I really don't.Take these pointers or leave them. This is just public feedback.
Just magic … no pun intended, by the way.Your writing just captivates me. How old are you, because if you're only young you have real talent that will only get better. I could see the images rolling through my head, and I can't usually do that when I'm reading stories off my computer screen.Do write for sites such as fictionpress0o0net or fanfiction0o0net … I do and they've really helped. If you do decided to write for either, let me know, because I would love to read your stuff.You have great talent, much more than I'll ever have, and it appears that you have fantastic creativity and imagination.I loved, well done.Aims xx
