Ember's Wings

3) The bracelet

The bracelet - Chapter 3
When I woke up it was already noon and Stacey was still sleeping. I got downstairs in the huge kitchen and fixed myself a cup of tea, drank it and then called my parents.
"Hey mom!"
"Hey sweetie. How are you? Everything ok?"
"Yeah, sure. Just called to say that I'm ok. How are your u guys?"
"Everything is good here"
"Ok then we'll talk later?"
"Sure. Bye sweetie!"
"Bye"
After this conversation I went and woke up Stacey and we started looking through the presents.
I've got lots of them. Some earrings, necklaces, gloves (even if it is March) and a bunch of other stuff like pens and notebooks. At the end, there was a really small package.
I took it there was no name on the outside. Stacey went to get a cup of coffee and refill my cup of tea. She didn't mind if I opened the present without her. So I ripped the delivery paper. And there was a small box and a letter.
First I opened the box. Inside I found a really beautiful bracelet. As I was studying it without touching it I thought it sort of had the Pandora idea as there was a little pair of wings attached to the chain in the middle. I thought it was a little strange. I closed the box and read the letter. It said
Dear Ember,
We are sorry we didn't have the chance to give it to you ourselves. We would have liked to see you wearing your BRACELET. We hope you'll accept your destiny
We promise we'll come for you in a short time so learn how to use your wings till then.
With love
Your parents
What a nice joke. I called my parents.
"Thank you for the bracelet "
"What bracelet?"
"You didn't send me the one with the wings?"
"No"
"Oh sorry Never mind. Bye"
"Bye sweetie "
Stacey enters the room
"What happened?"
"I got this bracelet. It says it's from my parents. But they say it's not"
"Mabel its from your biological ones". (Yeah I told her about them) "let's compare the handwriting"
"Good idea"
We did that with the letter that I came to my parents. It was the same. Strange
"Well put the bracelets on"
"No, I have the one from Jace. I can't"
"Oh come on. Just try it. "
"Fine "
I unlock the bracelet Jace gave me 1 year ago and open the box. The moment I touch the bracelet I feel I pain in my back. I touch my skin and I feel a little bump. I look in the mirror
"Stacey what do I have on my back?"
"Probably just a little bump but put the bracelet please and we'll look after"
"Whatever, it probably doesn't even fit"
I put it on and feel something a little itchy on my back for a moment. I turn to Stacey to show her my hand and I find her with a stunned face. She was looking beside me. I turn. There's nothing.
"Ember, your back"
"Yeah, you see, you should have looked at the bump!"
"No Emebr, look in the mirror!"
I turn around and look. I have a pair of wings. Wings!!!!! Omg what?
I try to take of the bracelet and I can't. Omg !!!! I turn to Stacey.
"Ok, so inhaled when I put the bracelet so let's take it off"
"Ok"
I try. She tries. We don't succeed.
"Mabel there is a way to turn it off. Maybe we can switch it off somehow."
We look at the little wings that are attached to the bracelet.
"Ember they look the same as your wings"
"Oh, ok then let's take off the little ones"
We try that and we can't, of course. As we look more carefully we see a mini circle smaller than a nail in the box. I take it and attach it to the bracelet and there appears a small button on the circle. When I press it my wings disappear
"Yay you did it. Now take off the bracelet. "
"I can't it's like it is stitched to my arm. "
"Then push the button again. Come on let's try your nice new wings. Please."
"No way"
"Come on. It is clear you won't get rid of them till your biological parents will come so let's at least know more about them. Only this weekend. Please". She said in full puppy mode
"Whatever. But don't tell anyone. And close the curtains. I don't want somebody to see me"
"Yesssss!!!!!"
She closes the curtains and I press the button again. And my wings appear.
They are an amazing purple with little pink dots. They are really beautiful. And they have the shape of butterfly wings. I love them. I go look in the mirror. I look at them and their beauty. When I notice my hair and arms
"When were you going to tell me that I have purple hair and gold tattoos with fairies on my hands. Are you crazy S"
"No, you are. You have them. Not me"
I look again in the mirror. I look beautiful. And don't you think that's what I usually think about myself. I don't like my usual hair and I think that's my skin is to pale. But now, with the beautiful tattoos my skin tone seems better and my hair's spirals ,which I usually call "snakies " cause they look like little snakes, now look really good in the light purple color. Maybe it is just because of my love for purple. Who knows?????
"Let's see what they are good at. Maybe I can fly" I tell Stacey.
We spend the rest of the weekend trying my wings. And all we learn is that I could fly if I knew how We also learned that pressing the button only hides the wing , tattoos and part of the hair, while a big red spot on the back remains along with a little purple hair. We try to dye my purple hair and it only stays blonde for 5 minutes. I try to cut it. It grows back in like 2 minutes.
So on Monday I'm left with no choice but to go to school with purple hair. So much of staying low and not attracting to much attention.
