This secret was too much, it was burning a hole in her stomach watching Marinette fawn over Adrien, thinking her crush could never happen while Chat Noir kissed Ladybugs hand as she turned him down. Knowing secrets could be hard, and rewarding at the same time, she knew the perfect secret to help her. The Guardian. The Guardian is the current holder of the turtle miraculous, and keeper of the fox and bee. If she went to him he would know she has knowledge of peoples secrets.
Erin fiddled with her bracelet, contemplating her current scenario. The bracelet was given to her by her father before he passed away. Her father knew about the miraculous' he used to be the owner of the butterfly. He never used it, just kept it. The butterfly had been in her family's possession for at least a century. Nobody activated it so it was supposedly lost. The bracelet was simple, glass tear drop shaped beads fanned out in either direction. They were a deep indigo verging on purple, but sometimes when light hit it just right the entire rainbow would shine on the surface of the little beads. Her father told her it held power and when the time was right she could use it. To defeat her inner demons, and spread light and joy wherever she may go.
She returned her attention to the history lecture
"This period of separation was known as the Tokagawa Showgunate and ended in japans downfall at the end of World War II.
Who can tell me why they were so easily defeated?"
Everyone except Erin raised their hand.
"How about Erin"
She swore this teacher is out to get her.
After class she sulked out the door two terrorizing words previously said by the teacher.
Extra Homework
She didn't realize the foot in her path until it was too late. She stumbled forward, her books spreading over the floor. before she could catch it her bracelet slid across the floor. It cracked as Chloe stepped directly on top of it
"Oops."
She said sarcastically, she giggled to Sabrina as she walked away.
Erin had only once used her secrets against somebody, that somebody being Chloe, Chloe had been terrorizing Marinette so Erin may have slipped and mentioned Chloe's false eyelashes as an insult. It was only directed at Chloe but soon enough the whole school had found out. It was a small mistake but thats how secrets work, only the right people can be trusted to keep them safe. And Erins "Small mistake" had earned her a powerful enemy, fake eyelashes or not.
She scrambled on the floor toward her bracelet, the beads were shattered. No longer would they glint with a rainbow of colors. No longer would they remind her of her father wherever she went. No longer could she use the bracelets magic, the time could never be right. She started to shed the same tears she shed when her father died. Protecting the butterfly.
