A Thorn in My Side(The Owl House Oc Story)

Coincidence?

Bristle's POV
(This is a very short chapter)

Bristle opened her door and could see her dad reading a book. "Morning dad.."

"Morning Bris.. Oh hello Hope." Bristle's dad smiled and put his book down.

"Hey Sean." Bristle could hear the nervousness in her girlfriend's voice. Bristle couldn't help but giggle.

"Hey where's Renae?"

Her father shrugged, "I think up in her room. She went out early this morning to meet a friend, then came back and she seemed really upset.."

Bristle felt Hope stiffen, Bristle then remembered Hope's odd dream. "Well we're going to go up to my room."

"Alright, don't be loud your mother is asleep." Her father said going back to his book.

"Yes sir!" She grabbed Hope's hand and led her upstairs. Once the two got upstairs she let go. "I'm going to go check on Renae."

Hope nodded, "Alright, I'll wait in your room." Bristle watch Hope walk to her bedroom.

Bristle turned and made her way down to Renae's room. She raised her hand and knocked.

"Come in.."

Bristle opened the door and stepped in shutting in quietly behind her. She looked up and could see Renae holding a pair of scissors. "You okay?"

Renae put the scissors aside and shrug. "I don't know.." Bristle felt chills run down her spine seeing that Renae's eyes were.. Darker...

"Renae whats up with your eyes?" Bristle bit back the nervousness in her voice.

Renae shook her head. "I don't know.. They've been like that for a while." She mumbled.

"They have?"

"Yea... But no one cares to notice anything about me." Renae let out a dry chuckle. "That's why I was thinking about cutting my hair... Thought maybe I could actually get noticed..."

Bristle was bewildered. "Like how short." She croaked.

"I don't know. Maybe a little shorter than Luz's?" Renae questions, "How do you think it'd look?"

Bristle imagined Renae with hair like Luz's. She had to admit, it looked pretty nice on Renae. "I think it'd look great.."

Renae gave a smiled, "Thanks..." She then turned her gave to the scissors. "But like I said..  It was a thought. I don't think I'll do it."

Bristle felt relief flood through her, "Alright.. Well me and Hope are in my room if you wanna join us."

"Nah. I'm good." Renae shrugged and turned to the window and watched the town.

"Well alright.. But if you change your mind you know where to find us." Bristle nodded and slipped to her room. "Man.."

"What happened?" Bristle looked up at Hope.

Bristle could feel a chill run down her spine. "Renae is thinking about cutting her hair, and her eyes were dark.. she said they've been like that for a while but no one noticed.."

Hope frowned but didn't say anything. "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

Bristle shrugged, "Probably."

"Let's just forget about it and hang out." Hope walked over, Bristle felt a spark run through her when Hope wrapped her arms around Bristle's neck.

"Yea.."
