I'm not tinkerbell!

Chapter 2 -

"Darling! Your home" Oh mother, you were most definitely Sherlock Holmes in a past life.

"Yes yes, I'm here I'm here."

"Well, sit down I've something important to tell you." Oh god, please tell me you got it all wrong, I'm really a human and free to leave at any time.

"The Alphas son, Chase is returning. With his mate!!" Wonderful, that means a run in the with Alpha Blake then doesn't it, new dress, more sparkles, fake smiles, oh the joys!

"And... This has what to do with us? We're not in the pack?" Mum just gave me one of those, wrong answer looks.

"We live on his land! Ok we're not in his pack, but we have to be respectful! We will visit the future alpha and his mate at the ball they're holding for them. And we will give a wonderful gift." She literally has the most excited look on her face I've ever seen. Like a kid in a sweet shop. You wouldn't actually think she was 50, although being a fairy does allow you to have youthful looks, mentally she's 21.

"Woaah what kind of gift? Like a voucher for John Lewis? I mean they're going to need house stuff. Don't even think about roping me into doing some stupid synchronised dance with the two of you. It's not happening!" Last time she had a bright idea she had me running around the room in a leaf dress waving my arms everywhere and blowing out dust.

"Oh don't be silly! It will be a magnificent present. No vouchers, no dancing. You'll find out soon enough Princess." I hate when she calls me that, why couldn't I have been given a normal nickname, or better yet none at all?

I relaxed a bit knowing there won't be a repeat of the mad dancing.

"Okay well. When's he coming home?" Please say in a good few months. Maybe then I can plan a quick escape. go live in Spain for a while. Hola, que tal?

"Saturday."

"What! Two days!! Your joking! Why are you only telling me now!" I said standing up from the sofa.

"Because I only just found out! Now go make your self a dress. I want just above the knee and you better have your sparkles on it Jess." She said threateningly.

Is she joking.

"Yes ma'am"

"Don't be cheeky. Get going" She orders while fanning her hands at me in a 'shoo' movement.

This has got to be some sort of abuse. I hate wearing dresses. And I hate having to use my fairy dust. Suppose I'll have to magic something up. Maybe I can just make one of my old dresses better.

.................

So I've been searching my room for a good half an hour and there's nothing in my wardrobe that I can use. Am I really that boring. Do I not dress like a girl anymore?

I used to. But then he left, and I didn't feel the need to be pretty.

Anyway... I'll get cracking on the old hippy dance dress.

Sparkles start to swirl around the bottom of my feet and slowly work there way around me until it reaches my neck. I slowly stretch out my arms and allow it to fill the length of them. My sparkles are silver white and pink, which is strange because both my mum and dad have just the one colour in their sparkles. Every time I ask why mines different they just shrug and change the subject. I swear if I was dropped as a baby like happy feet was, my dads in so much trouble.

While the fairy dust is taking it's time creating a masterpiece I get out my phone and call Chloe my bestie.

Of course she answers it straight away.

"Hey girl! You heard about Chase coming back?!" Oh she knows me too well.

"Yeah! My mum just told me, apparently he's bringing his mate. Which I'm totally fine with. why wouldn't I be." I blabbered.

"Oh really? Haha, well, it's been two years since you last saw each other. Can't tell me you haven't missed him." Oh Chloe you really do know me too well.

"What! Of course I haven't!" I lied "It was just a stupid crush 16 year old me had on him. I've grown up now. And obviously he has too."

"Jess babe, I know your lying, but just listen to me, it's going to be hard seeing him with his mate, but yours is out there somewhere! I promise!" Oh bless her

"Do fairies even have mates?" I'm not sure if my mum and dad are, I don't really ask that sort of thing!

There was a bit of silence down Chloe's end of the phone. "... Erm, yeah course you do! Everyone does!"

"Oh. Erm that's good then." I said sullenly.

"Listen jess, when are you free girl. I need a smoking dress for this ball. As do you! We might find our mates!!" Chloe squealed down the phone to me.

"Oh I have to make mine myself. Got the orders from above. Ain't no getting out of it." I reply

"Oh that's poo. At least you'll get what you want!" Oh she always sees the bright side of things.

"I can make you one for you if you show me what you want! Ive left my sparkles to do their thang on my dress so I've not idea what I'm going to end up with. But if we go shopping and you don't find anything, I'll make it for you!"

"Oo your the best Jess! Listen I'm going to have to go, text you later girl! Love ya!" I put down the phone and gazed in the mirror shocked at what I saw.
