Chapter 6: New Look

ACT 1

"You look fucking hot." Blake smirks and I roll my eyes.

"I'll take that as an insult, thank you very much." I cross my arms and look at myself once again in the mirror.

Today is the day I'll pack for Mr. Hernandez's household as Daphne Phoebe Hauzer. To make things easier, me and Blake created Daphne's look and I'll just shape shift to make things easier.

My wavy brown hair was still there but it was cut short and reached until my shoulders. I changed my eyes into a ocean blue color. I'm now wearing a brown sweater, huge black circle glasses that matches the grade of my contact lenses, black high waisted shorts and a pair of sneakers.

Me and Blake agreed to act as if we met a few years ago at Britain so I had my British accent on. "After you m'lady." Blake teases.

We rode on Mr. Hernandez's car and he drove silently to their house. I'll get to see Donovan again.

The moment the car entered the gates, Mr. Hernandez parks the car at the parking area and me and Blake went out to grab my luggage and press the doorbell.

A woman at her early 40's greeted us with a warm smile. Moms have their warm smiles as charms do they?

"Hello Blake!" She kisses Blake's cheek which made Blake's cheeks turn pink. The woman turns to me. "Well you must be Daphne." She smiles and also gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning Mrs. Hernandez." I greeted her with a smile.

"Oh, please call me Anna. That 'Mrs.' bullshit makes me old." She giggles and I cover my grin. "Please come in." She opens the door wide enough for the three of us to enter.

"Hi Honey." Anna gave Mr. Henderson a peck on the lips which he returned back.

"You don't want to see that." Blake covers my eyes.

"Hey Blake." Donovan comes out of nowhere with his towel wrap around dangerously below his waist which made my cheeks start to burn.

"Hey Dude. Got a new chick." Blake jokes and I glare at him. "Just kidding Daphne." He adds before I'll kill him.

"The name's Donovan. A pleasure to meet you Daphne." He gave me a friendly smile as I shook his hand.

"Is a pleasure to, Donovan." I spoke with my British accent.

I guess my accent made Donovan wide eyed. Is it the first time he saw a girl from Britain? "I know. She's from Britain." Blake slumps himself on the couch.

"That's cool." Donovan smirks at me and I look away. How gorgeous can he get?  From the look of his face, he must be a narcissist.

"I have lunch ready. Eat up." Anna says as we all head in the kitchen.

"You're Italian?" I blurted out and covered my mouth. "Oops. I didn't mean to be rude." I apologized.

"I'm starting to love this girl." She smirks at her husband. "Yes, I'm Italian." She answers my question. "You are quite the observer, Hauzer." She compliments.

"Umm thanks I guess." I fiddle with my fingers to act nervous.

"She's an Incitti. Of course she's Italian." Blake nudges my arm playfully;indirectly bullying my 5"6 height.

Blake decided to sit beside me and we all wait for Donovan to come out with clothes on. A few minutes, he came out with a baby boy who just looks like he woke up and plays with his soft blonde hair.

Donovan seats the vacant seat beside me and Daniel looks at me with his grey eyes and gave me the cutest smile that I never saw 4 years ago.

"Daniel, this is Daphne." Donovan told him and Daniel reaches out his small hand and he shakes my finger.

"He's cute." I compliment which made Daniel's smile wider than a croissant.

"Oh no he's not. He's handsome." Donovan corrects and I gave the young boy a quick smile before Anna said our prayers and we all dig up to eat.

"How'd ya meet Daphne Blake?" Mr. Hernandez asks. Glad he knows the drill.

"We met in Britain a few years ago. I saw her at the mall. Back then she was singing for a recital." Blake said like we planned.

Truth is: I do sing. Problem is I don't openly spread my talent anymore and I don't like the attention but sadly Blake forced me to in order to join a club at school.

"You don't look like a singer yourself!" Anna says, quite surprised. "I would love to have a sample next time." She winks.

"Thank you Anna and will do." I gave her a smile and quietly ate the delicious food that's on my plate.

"There is a rumour about students who once studied from the underground school of Britain that will transfer to Jade High." Donovan says with a curious look and I continued eating; just for me not to say anything.

"Is that so?" Mr. Hernandez drinks his orange juice.

"Can't be me. I schooled at Silver Wolves university my whole childhood until before I went to America." I blurted out and Anna gave me a knowing nod.

Once we were all done eating, I carried my bags upstairs by myself since Blake had to excuse himself for homework. Donovan showed me to my room (which was right next to him).

The room is not girly and painted with bright colours. Instead, it was painted like a galaxy themed room which means a lot of black, blue, pink,purple and white.

The bed is a queen size which is also good enough for me. I have never been more thankful. "Well, you could arrange your stuff and do nothing for the rest of the day unless," he smirks and I cross my arms. "You wanna hang with me." He smirks and I sigh.

"As long as it's not anything sexual then yeah." I agree with a condition.

"Deal Ms. Hauzer." He shakes my hand.

"See you around Mr. Hernandez. I'll knock on your door once I am done." I saluted and he gave me one last cocky smirk before he closes the door.

I unzip my bags and start to unpack. Placing my clothes on the wooden wardrobe, I see a small piece of paper tainted with blood. It read:

Hey Anna, I'm coming for you with the Dawson triplets.

Oh yes. I never thought my three other sisters: Lucy, Lily, and Luciana. We were separated when we were three. We both went to Britain and went to the same school but we never saw each other. I never considered my recital as one.

According to my old friend Kyle, Luciana is mated by an alpha, Lily is a part time stripper and Lucy's eyes became hypersensitive so she had to wear sunglasses until she can shoot lasers with her eyes without having the after burn afterwards.

I must ask Anna about this. She must know about my sisters' whereabouts.

Once I'm done arranging my stuff, I looked around the room once again if I find any more notes from the unknown to Anna.

Under the pillow and mattress, I found one. I had fun last night. Wish we'll meet sometime soon.

A fling?

You should be lucky we weren't caught by your husband or else you'll be dead meat.

-Mark

Crap. I found too much information and it's still my first day in here. What if Anna knew what's behind this disguise? Her warm smile didn't even feel welcoming just a while a go. This obviously means something and I'm finding that out.
