Shot Down In Flames

Chapter Twenty One

After another hour of Happy Dream Land I woke up and cleaned myself up in the shower with my emergency toiletries.

Yes. We have emergency toiletries, we're just sad like that.

I don't need to justify why I have them! They're handy.

After getting out of the shower I passed the mirror and all I saw was my hair getting worse. Like the venom was leaching the colour out of it and growing it at the same time.

Seriously! All this just because I gave a guy a blowjob?

Now it was just past my shoulders, the top of it white down to my ears but that was nothing compared to the deepening red of my eyes.

We... look... like... punk... grandma...

Eris? What's the matter? You're breaking up.

I... don't...

Eris? Oy Bitchstick! Where are you?

There was no reply, so of course I did what any sane person in a towel that couldn't talk to the voice in their head would do. I wacked my head repeatedly with my palms.

Oh I'm completely sane...

Suddenly the back of my throat caught and I started hacking and coughing with additional flames.

The more I coughed the more flames erupted from my throat, my knees locked and I fell onto my hands and knees, still coughing violently.

That's when it happened, a last final burst of flames exploded and instead of singeing and burning the bathroom floor, something absolutely FUCKING FREAKY HAPPENED!

What the holy bejebus?

There on the floor, right in front of me, where the flames had been. Was a girl. Probably the same age as me but I couldn't tell seeing as she was face down in the floor and butt naked.

Not my type.

The girl moaned, pushing up off the floor, "Well you're not my type either," she muttered sarcastically.

"ERIS!" I screamed, there was no way that could be her. It sounded like her annoying self, but that just wasn't possible.

Well it is possible so believe it!

My eyes popped, "We can hear each other," I stated, getting myself up off the floor to face Eris and her nakedness.

"No shit Sherlock!" She yelled.

I rolled my eyes at her and grabbed a towel from a rack and chucked it at her, "Dude! You're seriously pretty!"

She smirked at me as she wrapped the towel around her, "I know."

"You haven't even looked in the mirror!" I exclaimed.

What is she psychic?

No, but I can hear you're thoughts so shut it!

That's my line!

What is this a bad FanFiction? Who needs lines?

I was going for more of a crazy Deadpool kinda vibe.

Eris rolled her eyes at me, "Fine, I'll look in the mirror!" she turned to look in the mirror and smirked again, "I really am super hott."

She had light hazelnut coloured skin, darker than mine. She was the same as me body wise, apart from she was an inch or so shorter. Her eyes were almond shaped and a very dark coffee brown, framed by thin long lashes. Dark red lips, high cheek bones, wide flat-ish? nose.

She had thick dark brown hair down to her waist, that was layered through with a golden brown.

Okay so maybe she was super hott.

Thanks dearie.

"Shut up Eris," I snapped and walked out the door only to have her flick my face.

"You deserved that. Now, let's get some clothes on."

Once we were back in the room I chucked a bundle of clothes and shoes at her. Underwear, a Darkside Clothing Jason vest, Jist Steampunk skinny jeans, black Bordello Patent Teeze heels and a soft spike beanie.

I put on my underwear, Jawbreaker Sally Skull dress, Innocent Clothing Lisa cardigan, a pair of Vans Dixie and my hair piled into my Pink Floyd beanie to hide the unsettling white.

Eris smiled at me when we'd done, "You almost look as hot as me," I walked past her, this time I flicked her face.

"You deserved that."

We went into the corridor, walked to the room Alice had told me/us they would be in, opened the door and walked in to see Alice and Jasper, "Uh, hey guys," I smiled awkwardly then looked at Eris then back, "This is Eris, no last name. Long story short, I'm mental. She was a voice in my head. I coughed fire. She emerged from embers, kinda like a phoenix but less bird like. And now she's here! I'm sorry if she's a bitch!" I scratched my back nervously.

Smooth. Real smooth.

Eris rolled her eyes, then held out her hand for Alice to shake, "So, I'm Eris but you already knew that from your freaky visions," Alice smiled shaking the slightly insulting female's hand, "Freaky in a cool way that is. Wow, I don't usually say sentences this long. It's weird."

"I'm Alice and this is Jasper. But you knew that," Alice smiled happily at the female I sorta just gave birth to.

Yeah, because women give birth out of their mouth.

Oh piss off...
