Chapter One: Shadow Moses

2004

KARA

Finally high school was over, I'd never have to step foot in this hell hole again. Don't get me wrong I was good at school in terms of grades, especially in art but socially not so much. I'd somehow gotten on the radar of the school bitch Hannah Snowden, who had bullied me from day one. She took away my best friends Oliver Sykes, Matt Nicholls, Lee Malia and Matt Kean. Oli and I use to be best friends until she sunk he claws into him and turned him against me.

So throughout high school I kept my hopes up high and my head down low and hid in the shadows. My retreat was the arm room, I could be myself and the teachers adored me because I had what they called natural talent. I was always doodling on my arms and all over my notebooks, I had my heart set on being a tattoo artist once I left high school.

I got an apprenticeship at a local tattoo shop in Sheffield called Purple Ink and decided to leave my past in the past and move on. Yes I did follow the guys band Bring Me The Horizon and would always be proud of my old best friends. My name is Kara Andrews and one day something amazing will happen to me.

2015

'Kara your appointment is here. Should I send him back?'

I finished cleaning up my work area and signalled for Ariel, my receptionist to send my next appointment in. A lot had happened in eleven years. After my apprenticeship it took only four years until the owner Mr Bates left the shop to me when he retired. And for the next seven years I built the small unknown tattoo shop in some back alley in Sheffield into one of the best tattoo shops in the North of England. But that wasn't all that changed, I was no longer the geeky scene kid from high school.

Apparently all I needed was a few more years to grow into my body. I went from being flat chested to having a pretty nice rack which also complimented my newly formed curves. I was no longer a short 5'0 but a respectable 5'7 which was how I got roped into the occasional modelling job to pay the rent on my flat and the shop. My dyed choppy black hair was now back to its natural brown colour and reached just above my waist. I still wore glasses but wore contacts most of the time. I was happy but there was still something missing.

'Well there's my girl.'

I was broken out of my trance when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I recognised the voice anywhere and it bought a genuine smile to my face.

'Jordan you're back.'

I turned around and hugged my best friend. He'd been on tour where he played keyboard for a band I knew all too well. Jordan joined Bring Me The Horizon in 2012 and the second he stepped foot in my shop we hit it off. I told him my past and he promised to keep me secret from the rest of the band. Apparently he didn't like Hannah so we had something in common; he was also how I got all the band gossip. There was nothing romantic between us; in fact I helped set him up with his girlfriend Emma.

'How was tour? Any stories?'

Jordan chuckled and unwrapped himself from me before hopping onto the tattoo chair.

'Emma came with me so I behaved. But the other guys got drunk, oh Oli and Hannah argued a lot. The fans were amazing as usual, it was a shame you couldn't make it to any of the shows Kara.'

I listened to their music, I had all their CDs and even some on vinyl but I never dared to see them live. I would make do with watching YouTube interviews and live performances. Though I couldn't help but smile when Fish mentioned Hannah and Oli arguing, what I always had a small crush on Oli.

'What can I do for you today Jordan?'

'I want something small on my right shoulder. Something like your henna design on your hands but of course more manly Kara.'

I nodded and pulled out my sketchbook and started sketching something 'manly'. After a few minutes I turned the book around to Jordan and his eyes lit up.

'Damn Kara that's perfect.'

I loved getting complimented on my designs. I got the supplies ready and started the needle before getting into my zone. We didn't talk much because I liked to concentrate to deliver a good job. Around thirty minutes later I finished up the last bit of shading.

'There we go Mr Fish all done.'

Jordan admired his shoulder in the mirror I handed him as I started to clean and wrap the tattoo. I gave him the usual talk about how to look after it and he rolled his eyes.

'Thank you Kara, wonderful as always.'

He got off the chair and shrugged his jacket back on. I walked him out to the front where Ariel was painting her nails. Ariel was 18 and fresh out of college and needed a job, she was a hard worker even if she could sometimes be a bit naive and slow.

'Ariel can you deal with Jordan please? Also I thought you hated the colour pink.'

Ariel flashed me her bright pink nails.

'I hate baby pink Kara, this is hot pink. There's a difference.'

'How much is the damage this time Kara?'

I was thankful for Jordan's distraction from Ariel's discussion of the different shades of the colour pink.

'Actually this ones on me Jordan. As long as you buy me a coffee soon and I get to see Emma sometime, I miss my partner in crime.'

Jordan smiled and put his wallet away. Ariel plugged in her headphones and started blasting Asking Alexandria before going back to concentrating on her nails. We had similar tastes in music which meant we got on like a house on fire, she also fangirled the first time she met Jordan.

'The next couple of coffees are on me Kara because I'm an awesome friend and I might even throw in a cupcake or a brownie if you're good.'

'Why Mr Fish you know how to treat a lady, now get your fine ass out of here.'

He smirked before opening the front door and smacked his ass making both Ariel and I laugh.

'Ladies.'

I couldn't ask for a better friend than Jordan. He knew how to make me laugh and cry at the same time, he also knew my favourite colour and comfort food. Him and Emma were perfect for each other and one day I wanted something like they had.
