"Are you ready?"

His voice was not sexy nor intriguing. It was.. normal..

"Yes.." I whispered.

"Breathe in,"

There was a small sting as it went in. He walked away from the table I was lying on, leaving the needle in. A few moments later he was back with a silver ring. He opened it up and stuck it in the fresh hole. Then he grabbed a new needle and we went through the same routine.

"You can go now."

His voice was stern. I jumped off the table and glided over to the mirror.

"Hello."

I whispered to the pierced girl staring back at me.
