You wake up groggy in your bed, you roll over and check your phone. It is 11am on one of the biggest days of your life.
Last night was long and exhausting, you were...
[[At the biggest party of the year]]
[[Studying for the SATs]]Your best friend just turned 18 and everyone was playing Guitar Hero
The party was amazing and went until 2am. You groan because today you have to take the SATs and you cannot believe you went to the party.Your parents will be furious if they find out where you were, even more angry if you miss the exam. You try to get up but you are nauseous and there is a pain between your shoulders. Wobbly, you walk to the bathroom and...
[[You decide to check your back in the mirror]]
[[You ignore the pain and get right into the shower]] The SATs will decide if you get into your dream school or into your backup school. You have to perform well so you can get out of this small town.
While studying you drank way too much coffee and you wobble as you get out of bed and realize that there is pain between your shoulders. As you go over your note cards one more time you walk to the bathroom to get ready for your big day. You walk into the bathroom and...
[[You decide to check your back in the mirror]]
[[You ignore the pain and get right into the shower]] You almost let out a scream as you see that there are two red ovals by each shoulder blade. You reach behind to feel one and its flutters under your hand. Horrified you decide to...
[[scratch at the spot to see if you can get it off]]
[[jump in the shower to scrub it]]While you shower, you feel something twinge where the pain has been. You reach back there and you feel something wriggle under your touch. Panicking, you grap your scrubber to try to get it off. As you scrub away your skin something starts to poke out of the wound. That's when you notice there are two spots, one by each shoulder blade. Horrified you jump out of the shower and look into the mirror and see a transluscent worm breaking out of your skin. You decide to...
[[pull on it in hopes it will come out]]
[[place a bandage on it in hopes it will come out on its own]] As you scratch away your skin something starts to poke out of the wound. Horrified you jump out of the shower and look into the mirror and see a transluscent worm breaking out of your skin. You decide to...

[[place a bandage on it in hopes it will come out on its own]]As you pull out the things in your back two shimmering wings spring from your back. As you stand in the mirror in extreme shock, the wings start to move and you feel the pain subside. You cover them with a towel as best as you can and rush back to your room. What are you going to do now? You decide to...
[[Call your Mom to get some help]]
[[Call Grandma to get some help]]As you try to deprive whatever is is your back, the bandage is pushed away and two shimmering wings spring from your back.

What are you going to do now? You decide to...
[[Call your Mom to get some help]]
[[Call Grandma to get some help]]You yell out for your Mom and she comes rushing in. "What is wrong?" she asks. You do not know how to respond so you just remove the towel and let your wings spring back up. Your Mom looks relieved and smiles while she says, "Oh hunny I thought you had hurt yourself. Hmm, the transition is starting two years earlier than expected, but otherwise looks normal". you shout...
[["NORMAL?"]]
[["what are you even talking about?"]]You pull out your phone and dial her number, not knowing what you are going to say. Your Grandma answers with a cheery voice and you blurt out "Grandma! My back! It...It has wings! What do I do?". You heaer a pause and then "Hmm, the transition is starting two years earlier than expected, have you told your mother yet?". You shout...
[["No way how could I explain this?"]]
[["what are you talking about?"]]You stare at your Mom with confusion as she examines your wings. "It's okay love, this is normal for our kind" she tells you. "Mom, what do you mean our kind?" you ask her and she smiles at you as she says "you are transitioning into your adult form. Don't worry your grandmother and I will explain everything."
[[Shocked you stare into a mirror as you wait for Grandma to arrive]]You stare at your Mom with confusion as she examines your wings. "It's okay love, this is normal for our kind" she tells you. "Our Kind! What do you mean our kind? What are we?" you ask her. She smiles at you and quietly says "you are transitioning into your adult form. Don't worry your grandmother and I will explain everything."
[[Shocked you stare into a mirror as you wait for Grandma to arrive]]Your Grandma laughs and says "It's okay, this is normal for our kind" she tells you. "Grandma, what do you mean our kind?" you ask her and she says "you are transitioning into your adult form. Don't worry your Mom and I will explain everything."
[[Shocked you stare into a mirror as you wait for Grandma to arrive]]Your Grandma laughs and says "Don't you worry about that, your Mom and I both have them as well. I am on my way and we will explain when I get there". You blurt out "You can't be serious! what is going on?" as your Grandma hangs up the phone.
[[Shocked you stare into a mirror as you wait for Grandma to arrive]]You sit in your room and look up with tears in your eyes as your Mom and Grandma enter. Both of them sit next to you and you ask "will someone please explain what is going on here?". Your Mom looks at your Grandma and then back to you, then she say "we are fey".
[[Fey?]]"Yes. Hunny we are Faeries."
