SHe put her hand on the two bracelets and recalled what was done last night with the necklace.After a few minutes Claire stared, she noticed that the bracelet was glistening. He was surprised because it wasn't as bright as the necklace he and Ian made. He picked up the phone and called Ian. "Morning Love" said Ian.

"morning Mr. De Verra, I already made the protection bracelet for Auntie, but I'm not sure if it's right, I'm waiting to glow , like the necklace. but it just sparked? "Claire asked. Ian laughed "love, spark it means your spell works" Claire smiled "really?". Ian giggled "I'm sure, but if you're looking for a glow like that in our necklace that won't happen, because you're not with me." Claire thought. " i know your more powerful. "Ian was serious." No, your powerful like me, you just can't do it becouse we both made the necklace and our love for each other make it special. "Ian explained. claire laughed "ok Mr. De Verra i understand" Claire cut the call. If Ian says it works, then its good. Claire came down quickly.
