Four False Lives

S H I F T E R

"Haze?" I whispered as I looked at my girlfriend.

She was glaring at me as though she wished I was dead. My girlfriend was glaring at me as though she wanted me dead.

"Don't. Hurt. Him." Hazel had her arms out to protect Ash. Why did she care so much about the hero?

"Haze, please," Ash groaned, crawling forward as he tried to protect my girlfriend from me. "You can't die for me,"

Thousands of people were watching the interaction, probably even more people would be talking about it. 

I would either lose my reputation and keep Hazel safe, or I would keep my reputation, hurt Ash, but lose her too.

Well, two good things are better than one.

My body contorted as I turned into a giant snake and crawled towards the pair, venom spitting from my mouth.

I was about to bite and poison Hazel when a hand extended and grabbed me by the neck. As I shifted back to human, cuffs were placed on me.

Riptide flew back with Secret, my partner struggling but her mask still on. The two of each other were shrugged up against each other.

Secrets mask came off first. Annabeth. I froze, "Annabeth?"

"Shift, you know me?" My fellow villain asked. Then my mask got pulled off.

Hazel, Ash, and Riptide all looked like they had seen ghosts, which I guess we weren't too far from becoming.

So I wrote these chapters at two AM and forgot to hit publish so they suck but here they are.
