I said. “I know.” She said. Her voice was low and calm. “Too close.” I added “I feel it every time I close my eyes,” she said softly. Everyone glanced in her direction. Liz stood behind her, her arms crossed, tension vibrating off her like static. “You’re not walking alone anymore,” she said. “I wasn’t planning to.” She whispered. Mack handed Claire a new bracelet—sleek, metallic, sharp-edged in design. “It has a tracker, a mic, and a jolt feature. You press the center, it sets off the internal alarm and gives off a shock strong enough to drop a grown man.” He muttered, putting the bracelet around Claire's wrist.

It was a nice day at the park, I should say, to spend it like this and gather as many beat as I could without any hard work. I quickly added more leaf on my pipe and blew, puffs of allurements flying off to every direction and soon enough, the kids and the parents were all in disagreement. I chuckled once again, waving my arms as to catch every smidge that they can contribute. There is no time for me to be picky. The bracelet vibrated as it reach full, I can feel the thud awakening on my chest as it conjure a fake heart, making me a little bit normal for the month. Dusting off my pants I stood, collecting my things only to be surprised by the sight of the golden shoes.

Inside, it had a black velvet box, she slowly opened it gasping as she glanced inside. A white cushion fabric served as a bed to her brand new lock and key bracelet and necklace set.  I had a smart bracelet set for her, and a heart-shaped lock bracelet specially made for her. The lock bracelet opened with the key set on my necklace, while the round pendant on the smart bracelet glowed each time I tapped on my bracelet and vice-versa. It didn't matter how far apart we were, if she ever missed me, all she had to do was tap twice on the smart bracelet, and it would send a signal to my bracelet, making my bracelet light up. It would be my sign, letting me know she was missing me.

Charlie helped her up and said jokingly, “Lady Jenson, you don’t need to thank me. Since you’ve already eaten my Rejuvenating Pill, I will not be returning this Phoenixica bracelet to you, then.” Lady Jenson quickly waved her hand and said, “I gave that bracelet to you, so I will never ask you to return it even if you didn’t give me this Rejuvenating Pill...” Charlie said with a smile, “That’d be best. I think it’s about time, so you should hurry up and start packing.”

Clayton winked one of his eyes. “It’s not funny, Clayton!” Sonya sniffed. They both were staying in silence. Up to the time Clayton deeply inhaled. He put something out from his pocket. “I bought this, what would you say about it?” He showed a bracelet with a good pendant to Sonya. “As my appreciation since you negotiated your bracelet for my medicine!” Clayton put a bracelet on his palm as he showed Sonya a white gold bracelet with its green stone pendant. “It provides a protection for its user as long as she could control its fluctuated energy!”

I paused to check another piece that was on display for me to inspect. Samuel nervously scratched the back of his neck, "Actually, I really like that bracelet." He pointed at that bangle and the diamond one, "I was wondering if I can buy it before its launch. It's my girlfriend's birthday at the end of this month and I want to give it to her."

"Pacesetters Private Club; Enrollment Status: REVOKED. Your membership privileges have been terminated." It all came in, one after the other just at a time interval of a few seconds apart from when the previous one came in. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Like bombs going off in her hand. Right there, Tricia felt like dying as it was like she was losing her breath right away...after she received all of the messages. "You can't just replace me." She said, showing off the bracelet. She held up her wrist. The Belfort family bracelet gleaming under the lights.

"And I plan to fight like hell for boring and normal and safe." A knock at the door interrupted us. Isabella stood there, holding up a delicate silver bracelet. "It's ready. Five charms. GPS, transmitter, emergency beacon, and two decoys to make it look balanced. The emergency beacon is the heart charm. Squeeze it twice fast, once slow." I took the bracelet, turning it over in my hands. It was beautiful, the kind of thing someone might wear to a nice dinner. You'd never know it was packed with surveillance technology.

Lusha said breathily. “I thought so too. Believe me, I was willing to give you the benefit of a doubt but I found this at the crime scene.” Pavel said, showing Lusha the bracelet he picked up earlier and her gaze swiftly shifted to her wrist; entering panic mode instantly. “I don’t understand…” She said, looking up at Pavel then her wrist with a confused expression. “Your bracelet can’t be on your wrist if it is in my hand, Lusha.” Pavel jeered. “This must be a conspiracy.” Lusha replied, still trying to save her skin.

Kaelen rolled his shoulders once, flexing his hands as if testing the absence of weight. Zevrian spoke, his voice even. “The bracelet suppresses your abilities. If you attempt to use them, it will retaliate.” Kaelen glanced down at it briefly, turning his wrist as if examining a piece of jewelry rather than a restraint. “So I’ve been told.” He started walking further into the room, each step slow, measured, completely unbothered by the eyes tracking his movement. “These lights,” he muttered, glancing up. “Unnecessary.”
