Addicted to the knife
Amber loved the feeling of the knife against her skin whenever she went to get a new surgery. She loved the feeling of Zydrate going into her body and of the blissful nothing that came after. She liked having the power to do what she wanted, when she wanted.
She had actually not done all of her body over yet, there was still the bottom of her feet that she hadn't touched and she probably never would. They were just originally hers and she would never touch them with a knife.
Everyone thought she was addicted to the knife, but all of those people were all wrong she wasn't addicted; they all thought that she did this out of obsession. They don't know about her inner turmoil, the feelings she tried to hide under the knife and the zydrate.
The death of her mother had haunted her since she was five years old. She still cried herself to sleep every night, her dad and brothers did not even seem like it effected them, well considering that she had a murdering psychopath for a brother and a temper mental older brother who killed everyone in sight, and a dad that was egotistical and greedy.
Who could really blame her for being a little messed up, it seemed like there was only one person in her life she could count on right now, and it turned out he was the only one in the whole bunch who seemed almost semi normal or human if you think about it. He was a dumpster diving, drug dealer who took the drug he sold from the dead. He almost had a heart of gold compared to who she grew up around. Also he was always there for her, whether it be for a drug or a shoulder to cry on. He wasn't good and she knew that, but she knew he would always be there.
Graverobber also knew what she was going through with the loss of her mom. Because he had lost his dad to organ repossession when he was little too, so he gave Amber the drug when she wanted it or he gave her his body if she wanted that.
After the opera
Amber could not stand it when her brothers would fight, they would scream at each other at the top of their lungs and it would give her a headache every time. She would always get out of the house right away before, but she couldn't do that now because she had to be there for them and she had to run Gene co. She had to be a grown up now.
Amber never went to see Graverobber anymore. She could get all of the Zydrate she needed from Gene co now, she could have done that before but her dad would have had her watched 24/7 if he knew, so she had went to Graverobber for a time and it had been fun.
She had to be professional now and put on good show for the public, she couldn't be seen with him. He had tried to come to her at night and give her Z; she had always turned him down after the night of the opera.
That night after the opera everyone had changed forever.
