The Hidden Forest

Chapter 14

Play Mirror on the wall-lil wayne

New people. New lives. How would we do it? We couldn't be recognised. I had complete forgotten about Linzy...I couldn't help her. She was dead and in peace and there was nothing I could do to change that. We think we have power over people but we really don't. We can't change anything.

"Ready?" Londie Asked. I nodded looking down at Boe. She held tightly onto my hand as we stood in front of the river. I lifted up hand and let the vines rise. I grew them above the water but made sure to put lots of layers. We would have to walk on the to the other side.

I couldn't see my house since I was now on a different island with my long lost daughter and new friend. I took the first step and then Londie stepped forward as well. Boe looked scared as she stared across the river.

I squeezed her hand reassuring her that it was okay. She stepped onto the vines and soon we were all walking to the other side.

We got there and took off. We walked for hours until we got to a small town. There were papers every where with pictures of me and a reward.

I quickly looked down and carried on walking.

We all got to an abandoned house and walked inside.
Boe immediately ran to the couch and layed down. Londie told me she would shower which left we alone in a small hallway.

I looked to my left at the small bathroom and walked inside. I looked at the mirror and realised how cut my face was. The nail marks were fading but still visible.

I looked down at the scissors that looked to be new. Picking them up, I took a deep breath and looked back in the mirror. I held up a long curl and cut it so it was shoulder lenght or just above. I then did that with the rest of my hair and wondered out of the room.

All my curls were off and left my hair straight and short.

I bumped into Boe on the way and as she looked up I saw the look on her face. It made me sad to look at my daughter like this. She didn't like the way I looked. And I knew it. Just then Londie walked in and looked up at me.

"What the..." she looked down at Boe and then back at me. "We can't be recognised" I said picking up Boe and walking towards Londie. "We're starting new remember?"

She nodded and touched her short black hair and then looked back up at me.

"I'll go to the store and get us food and hair dye just let me sort this out" I said putting Boe down and smiling.

------------------

"andd done now wait 45 minutes okay" I said shoving the bottle into the container and throwing it in the bin.

We waited for 45 minutes and then we washed Londie's new red hair.

She looked in the mirror and smiled "perfect" Boe came skipping into the room smiling. "I want my hair done" she said smiling and pulling out a new dye box.
