Everlost with a spin

Chapter 6

In her book Spectral Visions: An Afterlight's Guide to Looking One's Best, Mary Hightower writes, "If, at times, you find others looking at you strangely, and you don't know why, chances are you're losing touch with your own self-image. -Mary Hightower

Sade tripped over her own feet and fell on her stomach the usual feeling of being winded wasn't there and she smiled. She jumped to her feet and Reagan stopped in her tracks.

"Are you okay?" Reagan asks panting even though she wasn't really tired.

"Yeah, I didn't even feel it." Sade says smiling her canine like teeth seeming to shrink.

"I don't think we can feel anything here actually." Reagan says poking Sade's side.

Sade jumps on instinct but didn't feel the same odd or ticklish sensation.

"I know this is something that I usually never recommend but do you want to rest there's a big enough dead spot for the both of us." Reagan says pointing to the dead spot under a living world tree.

"I think that's kinda suspicious, plus we don't need rest now, I barely rested when I was alive." Sade says observing and analyzing the area.

"True cause your a freaking insomniac." Reagan mumbles glaring at Sade.

Sade glares at her then asks, "What do you think the Queen of Snots is like?"

"Considering her nickname is Queen of Snots I'm thinking so fancy and loyal in her head she's snobby but has a lot of Afterlights." Reagan says pulling her feet out of the ground.

"Rich and snotty." Sade says with a slight laugh.

Reagan laughs slightly then sighs. "You think she'll be like that?" She asks curiously.

"Yes just like rich and snotty, you know personality wise not actions." Sade says pulling her legs out.

"You think she'll think she's all mighty and god like." Reagan asks.

"Maybe I mean before Ash begun his eventful journey to the center of the Earth he did say something about homing Afterlights." Sade says with a small smile.

"Gotta catch em all!" Reagan shouts laughing.

Sade laughs and starts walking again not knowing how far they had to walk but knowing it would be a while. She glanced at the surroundings around her honestly wanting to know why everything living looked so dull.

"You sure you okay?" Reagan asks Sade as she follows after.

"Yeah just curious about this Everlost place. I mean its new and I'm just not getting the best of feelings." Sade says her canine like teeth growing back big enough that they protrude out of her mouth slightly.

Reagan looks at Sade weirdly but decides not to say anything. She thinks I hope if something on my face changes like that I hope Sade tells me. I start to think back to what Sade says and I wonder is she changing on purpose or is she just forgetting?

Sade glances back at Reagan. "What's with the look?" She asks questionably.

"Maybe because you're suppose to have teeth like this."Reagan says smiling huge making it looks like it hurts.

Sade glances at Reagan's smile and pokes at her teeth figuring out what she's talking about.

"I gotcha but what if I don't want to change them back."Sade says smirking.

"Then I'm gonna start calling you names." Reagan says raising an eyebrow.

"Fine I'll change them back, but I can't really help it, it just happened." Sade says closing her eyes to remember her usual smile. Her canines shrink back down to there regular size.

"Better. I was gonna start calling you Twilight if you didn't get rid of them." Reagan says smiling.

"I'd rebut back to you, don't care cause I'm better than Bella." Sade says.

"I swear you really are crazy." Reagan mumbles.
