Silent Memory(Book 1 of Forgotten Series)

Chapter 8

I woke on the soft mattress confused. I stood stretched and picked up my clothes so I could shower.

Again with the bra size.

After I finished showering I dressed and found a comb with a tag still attached to it indicating it was new. I sighed turned to the mirror and screamed.

"What! What happened?" I heard Lemonts voice getting closer until he opened the door.

I stared at the mirror confused. "What happened to my face?" I swear I was a little bit lighter than my already brown and my eyes were....so creepy. They were the lightest brown I have ever seen. They almost looked beige. Okay well not that light but is almost there. I look blind. Can I see? Where are my pupil! Breath.

I cant breath!

I touched my face, the me in the mirror copied me. I flinched back. Stop copying me you impostor!

"You've been changing since the first time I met you. Which also means someone tweaked with your mind to change your physical appearance. Did you really not notice? I'm sure you felt something right?"

I felt tingly a lot That's about it though-oh uh un. "My hair is a hot mess!"

"It's what? Is that your human slang?"

"Yes." I kept my nappy head high.

"Its not that bad its just....really curly and sticking up everywhere." He grimaced.

He just confirmed its worse than I thought. So embarrassing."Its called nappy." I muttered embarrassed.

"I have good shampoo for that."

"I'm black, my hair is not the same as yours." I grumbled.

"Your Vezinian. Your hair isn't normal either."

We stared each other down. I gave up wanting to be alone as fast as possible." Fine. It won't work but okay."

He gave me the bottle silently. I grabbed my clothes.

"Where are you going?"

"To wash my hair." I answered.

"Why are you heading downstairs?"

"Kitchen sink."

"That's not sanitary. Do that in this sink."

I pursed my lips and obeyed. "Okay."

He watched me wash my hair. The shampoo made my hair feel nice and straight but it was always like that. Its only a pretense because once the shampoo is out, the poof arrives. I rinsed it out and rubbed the towel through my hair.

"Allow me." Lemont said. He muttered to himself and wind was blowing my hair.

Fire, would you give a little heat please.

After a minute of that I grabbed the comb and faced the mirror. "Oh uh un."

"What now?" He demanded.

"My hair."

"It looks straight. Its way better like this, trust me." His eyes went to the ceiling briefly.

"Its longer." I growled. It was at first to my neck like I always keep it now it was past my shoulders. Past my shoulders! What is this? This is not normal at all. I feel like I'm someone else and its creepy."No way, give me some scissors."

"Calm down. It looks good on you. Do you like the outfit?"

It was cute. "Yeah I do." I answered absentmindedly. I know my hair grows fast but this is ridiculous.
