Two Sides Of Tova.

Three

  "Its good to be home", Dora said pulling me out from my thoughts. We uploaded our bags and luggage into the cab and drove off to our home in  Westeralley after the long vacation.

"Yeah" I replied.

"You aren't wearing your glasses anymore", she asked while raking her eyes all over my face.

"I guess I don't need it anymore".

"Its either the loss of your glasses or maybe the drugs that had you looking different", she concluded.

"I doubt that", I said again.

  She studied my face for a few moments later before she opened her mouth again to talk,
"Don't be silly you may need the glasses later or its just a side effect of the drug", she retorted.

I sighed deeply.

"No I don't think so Dora" I said again this time facing her. I pondered for a few minutes 'do I really look different?' I thought.

     We pulled into the driveway, I pulled out our luggage from the trunk while she paid the taxi. She unlocked the door and immediately layed on the floor with her arms and legs spread out like a snow angel but without any snow.

"I love this house,I ain't kidding, made the right choice when we bought it."

"Whatever", I replied sarcastically while dragging my luggage up the stairs to unpack. I entered my room and placed the luggage next to my closet and opened it. I began to bring out items and clothing from the luggage before I noticed I had the same strange markings from the bracelet running up my arm from my wrist to the other side of my second hand exactly where I wore the bracelet.

"Hmm that's strange",

  I entered into my bathroom to examine the tattoo, I took off my shirt leaving my chest bare except for the bra I wore. I turned and noticed that the tattoo also travelled up my back to meet at a spot making a huge like magic sphere at the centre of  my back similar to the ones from my wrist. As I looked back to the mirror standing behind me was a strange woman dressed in an ancient  warrior's outfit which stopped just above  her knees and wearing leather sandals, she was looking at me in an intimidating way.

  Immediately I screamed at the top of my voice. Then she muttered something weird in a strange language which I was unable to understand.

   My eyes searched to room till i met my hairbrush, I held it out in front of her as a means of defence.

   "Stand back, I'm not afraid to use this", I commanded trying to sound brave.

   She eyed me from head to toe painfully slow, then spoke with a slightly deep voice with an accent that I couldn't recognize,

  "You lack good stance and I could easily little girl,now put it down before I do so", she said looking completely serious.

    Startled I heard banging at the door,
     "Tova are you alright?", Dora said worriedly at the other side of the door.

  Thoughts rambled in my head whether I should dash to open the door for Dora or I should stay back and fight the mysterious woman standing in my bathroom.
 
"Tova", Dora enquired.

  "Why don't you open the door", the strange woman asked of me.

     Frowning,I began to move slowly towards the door then I opened the lock and twisted the doorknob, there stood Dora looking worried.

    "What was that all about, are you okay?", she asked.

  "She came in here and threatened me" I told Dora while pointing to the woman.

   "What woman?",

   "That woman", I pointed to the woman frantically.

   "I don't see anyone in this room except you and me, so stop making false alarms and get yourself together. Maybe its the loss of your glasses that is making you see things" ,she said before leaving the room.

      I turned and saw the woman with a huge smirk on her face.

   What just happened, I asked myself in astonishment.
