The following days passed in a blur.

As expected, the media immediately got ahold of my visit to the children’s cancer ward. Before I could even blink, every newspaper was covered in headlines about the Silver Star healing all of those kids. Every news channel was reporting on nothing but that night, and every online gossip forum was discussing it like it was the most exciting thing to have ever happened.

“I warned you that this might happen,” Edwin teased when, on the third day, we couldn’t even leave the apartment due to the paparazzi and reporters camped outside. “First you let out that ear-splitting howl, and then you decide to immediately heal a bunch of kids with cancer on your very first night.”

I managed an impish little smile as I pulled the curtain shut, hiding our view of the news vans and cameras. They were like sharks circling us, waiting for the right moment to strike.

My mate’s shoulders slumped a little, but it was a gesture of relief and not disappointment.

“Now,” I said, striding over to the sewing room and flinging open the door, “if I’m going to make a public appearance, I’m going to need a dress, won’t I?”

The dress was perfect. It was beyond perfect-it was everything I had hoped for and then some.

The black fabric was flecked with a silvery shimmer, the long sleeves coming down to sharp points at the back of my wrists A sheer silver drape was attached to the shoulders, flowing like a waterfall down my arms until it ultimately connected gracefully with my ring fingers.

I’d opted for an ankle length, just long enough for the silken fabric to gently flow around my legs when I moved but not long enough to cover my shoes, which were a pair of sleek metallic silver boots with an almost scaly texture.

And then there was,the finishing touch, carefully lowered over my head by Avis’s small hands. A pearlescent overlayer, which covered my bodice and came down to my ankles with splits down the sides.
