I do not own Night World
"We watch the world fall into chaos, together." I smiled at her and we hugged. I pulled away and agreed.
"Together."
Lustie's POV
We were walking to the 24 hour Beauty Supply store to get our hair dye. It was late at night so no one was walking around and it was silent.
"Lustie?" Alisa broke the silence.
"Hmm?"
"Do you forgive me? For all that stuff I did to you and," she looked down, "said to you?"
I stopped walking and she stopped, too. I was glad that she was here and that we were together… but did I forgive her? I stayed silent, until Ali sadly sighed.
"It's okay if you don't. But I do want you to know I am sorry." It's okay. I forgive you. Is exactly what I wanted to say; but when I tried… it wouldn't come out.
"Ali listen… please don't beat yourself up. You had a secret that you couldn't tell anyone… including me." I tried to say it again, but it didn't come out again. I sighed heavily, "Just… just give me time, okay? I don't want to put more guilt on you, but what you said to me… pretty much killed the forgiving side of me."
She nodded and smiled, but it didn't meet her eyes. We started walking again and I put my arm around her shoulder. She giggled lightly, but I read her thoughts. They were all mashed up with sadness and guilt.
"I'm serious, stop beating yourself up."
She smiled innocently, "Sorry."
We entered in the, now empty, store. There was a girl at the register who was slouching on the counter.
"Welcome to Beauty Supply," the person at the register said tiredly and yawned. I smiled at her and we went to the hair dye section.
"Okay, Ali what color are you dying your hair?" She tapped her chin, like she always does when she's thinking.
"I think… jet black would do. What are you getting?"
"Hmm… maybe… I'll just bleach it blonde." Ali looked at me with wide eyes, covered her mouth, and started laughing like a crazy woman. And I looked at her as if she WAS a crazy woman.
"What the hell is so funny?" Her face was red and she was tearing up. She looked at me and started dying again. I rolled my eyes. "C'mon we don't have all day."
She giggled then stopped and giggled again and cleared her throat. "Okay," she wiped her eyes, "the reason why I'm laughing is…." She started giggling again. "I remember when we were walking home from school one day and a girl with bleached blond hair and orange tanned skin was in front of us walking real slow. So you picked up a rock and threw it at her and yelled "Hey butterface!" And she got really mad and got in your face and said "What's that supposed to mean?" and then you said…," she started laughing hard, "You said –giggle– "O.M.G. ALI I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER. IT'S ACTUALLY AN UMPA LUMPA!"
She fell on the floor laughing and I started laughing. I remember that day. I said anyone who bleaches they're hair blonde becomes an umpa lumpa. (A/N: I love blondes though actually I love any hair color :])
"It's just ironic that you're gonna bleach it… so you're an umpa lumpa!" She went back to laughing and I rolled my eyes. I quickly made my way to the bleaching section and grabbed 4 bottles of hydrogen peroxide.
"Alright, Ali. Let's go." I helped her up from the floor, while she held her stomach. "Can you breathe?" She nodded lightly and we walked to exit.
"Excuse me? You have to pay for that, you know!" that stupid cashier girl said. I went to the counter and looked her in the eyes.
"What the– "she cut herself off. Her eyes dilated as she fell into my trance.
"Let us go with this stuff. Don't speak of this. You fell asleep and someone stole something, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." I smiled darkly.
"Good. Now, sleep." Immediately her head hit the counter and she knocked out. I quickly walked to a fascinated Ali and we walked out the store.
"Lustie can you teach me how to do that?"
"Sure, but it's actually hard to master and control." I laughed silently to myself. "I once hypnotized myself when I was practicing." Ali raised her eyebrows. "So do you know where were going?"
"Uh...no. But we can just get a hotel room and after we get contact lenses."
"Oh, smart idea."
"Thanks. So we'll just stay there till morning and then head to Circle Daybreak."
"Seems like a plan. Let's go."
I collapsed on the bed and Ali sat next to me.
"You okay Lustie?" I put my arm over my eyes and sighed heavily.
"Yeah. I'm just… tired." Ali lie down and put her head on my shoulder.
"Hang in there. We gotta just dye our hair and then we can sleep, okay?" I took my arm off my eyes and sat up.
"Mmk." Ali smiled at me and got her dye and went to the first bathroom, while I went to the second bathroom and took in the peroxide with me.
I looked at my silver hair and my black freckles. Black? I know weird. My hair grew. I always did have fast growing hair. It was up to my shoulders when I captured the girls, now its down to the small of my back. That'd help them not realize it's me. I probably have to use a lot of foundation for my freckles. I don't know why… but I don't like covering my self up. Oh well, get over it.
I put on my gloves and took the peroxide. Carefully, I thoroughly put in my hair. One bottle turned in to two turned into three and three turned into a gasp. I looked at my self in the mirror. I looked so… different. The whiteness of my hair brought out my face and my eyes. Who'd have known I'd turn into a blond. I washed out the peroxide with cool water and blow dried it. Even with it still dry it was wavy.
I don't feel good about this. I just don't know why. It's not even the difference of my appearance. I feel wrong inside. Something is telling me is to turn back before it's too… late. Ignore it.
I walked out the bathroom and saw Ali lying down in one of the beds. Okay, first I didn't even know it was her. The black hair made her look so different that I actually screamed.
"Who are you!"
"Uh, Ali. Who else?"
"Oh," I pushed my hair back, "sorry, you just look… really different. I don't think I'll be able to it's you when you put in your contacts." She laughed and I got in the other bed.
"You look really different, too. Well, g'night."
"G'night."
We turned the lights off and went asleep for what was in store for us tomorrow. Poor Circle Daybreak, you're about to let in two demons from hell into your house.
Alright hoped you liked it :]
