Soaring Love

new look

as soon as we found the others Alice whisked Friday Lilian and me off to the girl's bathroom." ok first order of business Friday Anemone long time no see!" Friday nods in response "what's it been four-five years?" she nods again "not since that evening at nightshade" she looks up her eye's pleading "Alice don't" she growls .so different from the bubbly happy girl I danced with "why not? you don't want you your new girlfriend to know your history?" Lilian turn's to Friday "what's she talking about Fri?" Alice turns her gaze on Lilian "I'll tell you" "Alice please" Friday says the desperation clear in her voice. I cut in changing the subject "Alice you said the first order of business what's the second?" she glare's at me but answers "your clothes all of your clothes" she says waving a finger at the three of us. "well what else would we wear?" I ask she smirks "one of these," she says taking her backpack off and placing it on the floor "step back," she says and we do. she steps up to the bag and whispers "bane" and the bag unfolds becoming huge.so huge that my back is being pushed against the paper towel dispenser. "well don't keep me waiting come in!" Alice calls from inside the bag. I skooch along the wall until I see a faint pink light coming through a large zipper I sigh and walk trough.

I gasp it's huge in here with a white spiral staircase velvet couches and love seats. wall tapestries glittering on the tall walls showing sparkling water and shimmering fins. precious Jem's were glittering in golden cases." it's not much but it's home" Alice sighs. then turns to the three of us "who want to go first?" we stay silent." no volunteers? ok then..." she scans us over with her eye's "let's go with..." not me! not me! not me! but of course, they land on me "magnolia come on!" I sigh and follow her up one of the staircases. "Alice?" she cuts me off her sing-song voice "we are here!" she throws open huge golden glittery double doors. I huge walk-in closet filled to the brim with shiny glittery feathery over the top clothes. "you know this didn't even belong to me before about 100 years ago it belonged to a warlock.he was magnificent and kind. a beautiful soul." "Was that the name you whispered before?bane?" she nods "an old friend" I can sense she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. "ok" then her face brightens "ok enough sad talk let's get you into alzarian cloths" wait that's the place from my dream alzar "we're going to alzar?" "yes you dumb mortal!" ouch "what do you mean alzarian?" she smirks "it means you need a makeover!" no no no! makeovers are not my thing! my brain scrambles to find an excuse but before I can find a decent one I'm pulled over to a silver tub like thing and flung inside the open door. Alice slams it behind me and calls "it will read you and make your normal clothes alzarian!" I hate tight spaces "Alice get me out of here!!!" I yell as a whirring sound fills my ears. I sit down and hug my knees to my chest rocking back and forth "Alice please I'm claustrophobic!" my breathing becomes ragged this has happened before when my uncle got really drunk and dad had to lock me in the coat closet all night.that's when it started.i was 5. it's one of my only fear's. "magnolia it's ok your almost done...just listen to my voice I'll talk you through it" I can hear the hesitation in her voice the pause after she said done.she's trying-she's trying to be my friend. "listen to my voice magnolia you're strong and from what I know a badass girl don't let a little claustrophobia hurt you ok?" she pauses as if expecting an answer "ok in my family we do somthing called big feelings time it's where you say somthing that your feeling and then I would say I understand...you want to try?" I nod then realize she can't see me "ok" my voice comes out as a hoarse whisper "I feel like I'm in a room and all the walls are closing in on me and then I can't breathe and I feel like I'm drowning! then my heart beat's faster and I want to cry.then I think of all of the thing's that hurt me and they just circle my mind" that felt good to say "Alice?" I ask "yeah?" she says after a moment "thank you" I can practically hear her smile "well I guess we're even now" the door swings open "we will never be even but it's a start"I smile weakly. but she's staring at me her mouth slightly ajar "you look amazing!!!" she says exitedly. I look down at myself then look up just as quickly "I look like a stripper!!!"  she walks over to me "noo you'd need more glitter and a lower neckline" she says poking at the neckline that is lower then I would have liked. "look in the mirror" she says. I reluctantly step up to the long gold-trimmed mirror golden roses circling the glass. I look up and gasp. my normal tee shirt and skinny jeans are gone. replaced with a purple sort of cloak thing. with burgundy gloves and thigh-high socks that are somehow attached to the to high shorts.it's all thrown together with a beautiful cream off the shoulder button-down shirt and a beautiful necklace that has a precious looking stone. my heart wants it but then I remember what my mother told me "girl's who wear clothes like that wear it because they aren't confident enough not to show off their bodies they think it's the only way to get attention". "I don't want it" i choke out thinking of my mother was hard now knowing she most likely wasn't my actual mother. she couldn't hide being a fairy from me. alice looks at me like I'm crazy "why not? no nevermind I'm sorry magnolia but you have to wear it. you're never going to get into alzar looking like a mortal which by the way your not so stop dressing like it"  "can't I just show them my wings?" she shakes her head "I refuse to let you into alzar looking like a mortal now let's go" and with that, she hustles me down the stair's.
