Chapter 12

Not every story ends with a happily ever after.

I sat back and watched as Damien narrated our whole story to the Nina girl. I used the opportunity to finish a box of pizza.

"So what your saying is, she's a good person now?" she asked and looked at me, I gave her a closed eye smile and a wave, but she didn't return them.

"I'm not saying she's a good person, I'm just saying that I need her, if I'm ever going to be able to take down the institute" he said and I dramatically gasped.

"Can you trust her?" The girl asked and he looked at me before turning back to her

"I think so"

"I don't give a care about you or the girl, I'm doing this for my Andre" I said with an eye roll

"What is she talking about?" Nina asked but Damien shrugged it off and untied her.

"Don't tell Andre" Damien said

"I won't" she said and he nodded, he must really trust her.

"What happened to your head?" He asked and stretched his hand to touch her bruise but she flinched and stepped back.

"N-nothing, i-i just fell and h-hurt m-my head" she stammered. It was obviously a lie, that bruise was definitely made by someone, but Damien didn't press on it.

"Damien! Come here for a bit" Andre's voice was heard from above us, the sound of his voice made my heart beat hasten.

"I'll be back, both of you, stay here" he said and rushed out, I wanted to follow behind him and sneak a peek at Andre but I thought against it. Andre still hated me.

I looked at Nina and she looked anxious, she probably hated me too.

"So who hurt your head?" I asked and she ignored my question
"You teach people how to treat you, if you stay quiet they'll think whatever they do to you is okay"

"It's none of your business, leave me alone"

I took steps towards her and she cautiously took some back.

"Being quiet about things like this isn't being nice, it's being stupid. If I were you, I'd make whoever did this to me.....suffer"

Damien walked in minutes later, he was holding a shopping bag.

"Is that pizza?" I asked but he ignored me and emptied the contents of the bag on the table.

There was some hair dye, scissors, contact lenses, glasses and new clothes. I looked at him confused.

"The people at the institute are still looking for you, if we want our plan on Saturday to work, you need to be unrecognizable" he said and I hated where this was going already.

"So what?, you want to dye my hair? You think that would change anything?"  I said and he smirked.

*An eventful hour later*

I looked into a mirror and my mouth fell open, I looked, different.

He had cut my waist length hair to shoulders length and dyed it from raven black to dark blonde. I also wore hazel brown contacts, I finally took a shower and wore some casual clothes. It made me look, more human.
The last time I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes crystal blue eyes shun with hate, and I was covered in blood, so this was a way different look.
