Lily229

Then everything went dark, and the ground came up to greet her. She sat up slowly, her mind still spinning from the trip she had just taken. Her body felt refreshed, as if she had just been born again. She looked around her, everything seemed the same, except her hair was in her face. She pulled her left knee from under her to steady herself as she stood. She gasped as she looked down. She wasn't in her own body anymore, at least it didn't look like she was. Her knee was exposed, but not because of a tear in her jeans, she was wearing a black mini skirt. Lily stood up and looked down at herself.

Her skin was so smooth, there were no blemishes or dents like before. Just milky white skin gleaming in the sunlight. She was no longer wearing Horus's baggy red T-shirt, but nice black shirt with a fairly nice black, lace vest over it. She was wearing knee high black boots, they looked expensive. Her finger nails had grown and were shiny like diamonds. She looked over at a window at her reflection. It was her face she saw, but her eyes had changed. No longer mysterious like the moon, they burned with red hot determination like a 1,000 suns. There was something about her that made her hate herself.

"I don't understand..." The bracelet was no longer burning, no heat was left, it was just an ordinary bracelet.

"Hey Lily I....oh.." Lily shot her head up and looked down the hallway as Horus came running towards her. "Oh, sorry. Thought you were someone else. Damn you look a fucking lot like her."

Lily raised her eyebrows at Horus. Does he not recognize me? she thought.

He cocked his head to one side and looked at her as if he had truly never seen her before. "Mind if I ask you what your name is?"

Lily looked down at her bracelet, a black rose gleamed in the sunlight. "Rose."

Horus stuck his hands in his pockets and rocked back and forth on his heels. Lily could tell this was an awkward moment for him. "Well Rose, you wouldn't happen to know a girl by the name of Lily would ya? Her member ID code is.."

"I know what her member ID code is," she snapped. What was she doing? Why was she acting like this Rose person was real? It doesn't matter, she thought confidently. Once I go back into my normal body, I'll chuck this bracelet away.

Horus glared at her. She gave him a sweet smile. "I'm sorry, that came out all wrong. I was wondering, have you seen her?" The smile was plastered on her face, she couldn't get it off.

"No, not really. Who are you to her anyway? You guys look a lot alike."

She had to think fast, she didn't want to let out the secret of the bracelet, she didn't want to get into trouble again. What if he went and told everyone that she had a Hackers Item on? She didn't know where she was or which way her home was, she needed to find that first before they found her out. "We're twins!" Lily coughed trying to steady herself. "My name is Rose, and Lily and I are twins. She ran away from home one night and our mother asked me to go out and look for her when I stumbled across this place and decided to look for her here." She was good at lying, she had practiced over the years with her mother.

Horus shrugged his shoulders. "Seems fair enough to me. If I see Lily I'll tell her you're looking for her." He turned around and began walking off. "See ya around Rose, hope you and your sister decide to stick around longer."

Lily held her breath until he had turned the corner. She leaned against the wall as she let out the breath. "Ok, I'm done with this completely." She gripped onto the bracelet and began sliding it off.

"Oh hi, didn't see you there." said a voice beside her.

Lily stood frozen with her fingers wrapped tightly around the bracelet. She looked up to find a beautiful woman standing next to her. Her skin was smooth as stone. She had dark hair and skin with eyes like dark pools of water that Lily thought she'd drown in them if she starred to long. She was tall and slim and her voice was like an Angel that rang sweet music in her ears. The woman had the kind of voice that made you wish you could listen to her voice forever.

She was a Goddess in human form, her hair was long and shiny black that draped long past her narrow hips. She had red cherry lips that made you feel good, like a popsicle on a hot summer day. Her skirt, a mix of bright, festive colors, made you sick with envy as they clung to her thighs. Her shirt, a simple brown blouse, but on her, it became more. Lily noted that she had soft brown open-toed sandals on with her toes painted a festive red. She wore golden hoop earrings and lots and lots of rings, Lily felt like she was the Godmother and she should kiss them to bless herself. Lily thought of a little boy opening a new toy for Christmas, you were just so egar to find out what made it tick.

"Hi." Lily forgot where she was for a moment. The Goddess standing in front of her, her smile brightening even the darkest room.

"I'm Mistress." Mistress extended her hand to Lily. "You must be new here, you have very pretty eyes."

Lily smiled. "Hi, I'm Li...Rose." She had almost forgotten what body she was in. "My name is Rose, and thank you very much Mistress. You're very pretty as well."

"I heard there was a new person down here and I decided I'd come down to greet them. It's nice to meet you Rose."

"Oh well, the person you must to have heard about was my sister, Lily." Lily nodded toward the thread she had just created. "I'm just here looking for her, but plan on leaving here soon."

"Oh, well if I see her. I'll be sure to tell her that you're looking for her." Mistress pulled off one of her rings and placed it into Lily's hand. "You're a very nice person, Rose. I hope to see you again and have more time to spend with you."

Lily blinked down at the ring. "Oh thank you. I'm sorry that I don't have anything to give you in return." It was a simple silver band with a soft green jewel embedded down into the middle of it.

"Think nothing of it, Rose. You seem like a very special person is all."

Lily felt a sharp pain in her gut that had her doubling over in pain.

"Rose! Are you alright?!"

She felt her body become ablaze again. She couldn't let Mistress see her as she changed. She had to run. "I...I have to go!" She didn't say goodbye, she didn't look back. She just took off running down the hall and into the sea of people.

This time, it was she, who was the one bumping into people and telling them to move. She felt nauseous and dizzy, she wasn't sure if she could find her own hand in front of her face at the moment let alone somewhere quiet. She somehow grasped her hand onto something solid, a doorknob, and pushed her way inside. Thankfully no one was in there as the fire took over her body again. She opened her mouth to scream at the pain but no voice came. She dug her nails into the flooring, trying to find her balance and mind set. It felt as if her eyes were no longer there, just smoldering craters of pain. She wanted it to end.

The room was spinning just as it had before, wind from no where was coming from all directions swallowing her up, tossing her around like she was a lost sock in the dryer. Everything went quiet once again as she landed softly on her knees. Her eyes were crossing as she looked down to find Horus's baggy clothes on her once again. She gritted her teeth and ripped off the bracelet. But before she could chuck it across the room darkness swept over her and she feel unconscious to the floor.

End of chapter 5 ^^ I'm hoping to get a few more new characters introduced in the next one, I think that's what I'll mostly focus on. I hope no one got confused with the whole Lily/Rose thing. I'll do better next time, either way it was kind of confusing. Well see ya next time ^^ Hope you all liked it.
