Part 1, A show
"Hello everybody, I'll be your MC for tonight..." The MC's words blur as my mind wanders. "We have a special guest for you all; put your hands together for Regan." I jump when I hear my name. As I walk out on stage I'm blinded by the lights straight away. I can't see the crowd but I can feel their energy. It gives me a buzz but also frightens me.
The MC is babbling next to me, but I can't hear what he says over the beating of my heart in my ears.
"What are you going to show us tonight, Regan?" His question brings me back to the stage. My throat has closed up, I can't speak. A few minutes pass while everyone waits for my response.
"I wanted to show everyone what I can do." My first words tonight come out shaky at first.
"Well, go ahead." The MC sounds as he steps back leaving me alone in the spotlight.
I take a deep breath as I focus on my outstretched palm. Slowly a small ball of glittering yellow light forms in my palm. I hear numerous gasps as the ball grows. The ball grows to the size of my hand then head. I drop my arm as it continues to grow. My body tingles all over as I rise up, the ball becoming the size of my torso. I get up to a foot off the ground when the yellow ball is the size of me, head to toe. I hear muffled screams as the ball morphs over my body.
After a blinding second I reappear. A soft click echoes throughout the room as my now gold heels touch the wood below me. The jeans I had on are now a skirt of white, gold and purple. The cold air in the room breathes on my bare shoulders with my white button up shirt and blue vest removed, transformed into a white and gold halter-neck crop top. But nothing compared to me opening my wings with a dramatic swoosh.
I take a bow as the room booms with applause.
"Well..." The MC stands next to me with his jaw on the floor. My eyes shimmers gold for a split second then everything falls off me in a cloud of gold dust and I'm back in my normal clothes. Doing so brings another boom of applause. I drop for another bow then sneak off, away from the deafening crowd.
That was one of many shows, each one with new people to see and ones that have seen before. Everywhere I go I run into people who have seen my trick. No one knows the truth behind the trick though.
