After making my personal goal, I decided to take a shower. I've missed the feel of warm water on my skin. I've missed being clean. I got up and walk to the shiny black door which Sarah ad told me was the bathroom. I shut and locked the door and just admired the thought of being clean again.

The bathroom was much bigger than I expected. The shower was a regular sized one placed in the corner. It had a grey shower curtain encircling it. The sink and toilet were located on the other side of the room, a good seventy feet in between them. Located in that seventy feet were baskets full of shower products, razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes, clothes and other necessities. I grabbed a towel and a razor went to turn the shower on.

Once the water turned hot, I jumped in. For a moment, I just stayed still, savoring the feel of the liquid against my body. I felt as if every problem was just washing away with the dirt. The longer I stayed under, the longer my anxiety was gone.

After doing nothing for I don't know how long, I put shampoo and conditioner in my hair and watched as the products went down the drain slightly discolored from the abundance of dirt on me. I then grabbed the shaving cream, poured it on my legs and began the process of being a girl. I shaved nearly every hair off of my body. I rinsed the cream off, used some body wash, and turned off the water.

I dried off and applied lotion to my dry skin. I grabbed a toothbrush and toothpaste and brushed my teeth. I didn't stop until the foam was nearly dripping off of my chin. I applied some deodorant and found some tweezers in the process. I can't even remember the last time I had my eyebrows done.

I spent the next forty minutes plucking the hairs to perfecting 'til they were "on fleek as fuck". I grabbed matching bra and panties from the large amount of them. I knew they weren't used because everyone had their worn stuff in piles. I found a black sweatshirt and leggings that caught my eye. As I slipped them on, I could feel my confidence lifting 100000%. I felt clean and neat and that's all I wanted.

I brushed my dark brown hair out, that looked black because it was wet, and let it air dry. Before I made my way back out into the cellar, I took one last look in the mirror. My golden hazel eyes seemed to glisten more. My eyebrows framed my face nicely. My lips were chapped beyond repair. My short body was...just...blah. My thighs are way too big. I just wasn't attractive, at least that's what I think. Good thing no one will have to live with it except for me.

I opened the door to find Julian, Jackie, Sarah, and Derek all sitting against the wall staring at something across from them. The creak of the bathroom door opening caught their attention as they diverted their gaze to me. They all looked at me with worried eyes, their bodies nearly shaking with fear. I gave them a look that asked 'what's going on!?' The only reply I got was Julian slowly raising his shaking hand and pointing to something behind me. I froze in my spot, afraid of what lay behind me.

A voice rang behind me that gave me chills and raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

"Mmmm, well I could just eat you up. I guess we meet again, rouge."
