Bonjour! I decided to take a (longer than usual) break from a different story I was writing to do this. This includes 10 small chapters of a vision I had if Gwen ever had to leave Earth. I'll update on a normal basis considering this entire story is already done - so no worries :) Thanks for reading. Also - this takes place before the finale of season 3.
The Skin I Was In
It hurt, but just a little bit by now. Most of the pain had numbed itself over the course of the past three weeks. Perhaps not numbed, but just dulled away to a bearable sting. It was times like this when she actually thought about the pain that she actually felt it was there, most of the time, she would stare at the ceiling and watch the black particles of her once human skin float up until they disappeared into nothing.
How much of her skin was gone now? She hadn't cared enough to check at this point, but considering the difference in texture she felt from underneath the covers, she would guess about only less than a quarter remained. Vaguely she wondered how much longer it would be until there was nothing left.
She turned on her side, feeling the pull of some strings of her red hair that had been caught in the zipper of the pillow case. 'That'll be gone too, soon.'
When was the last time she saw Ben or Kevin? She knew it had to be only slightly more than the three weeks she was confined to her house. They had not been aloud to see her, or to even know what was wrong with her thanks to Grandma Verdona.
Verdona had gone up in such a fury when she realized what her granddaughter did, and more than that, without her help or advice. Of course now, she was tending to Gwen every moment she could, considering she had temporarily moved in with her son and his family for the sole reason of helping her granddaughter.
Gwen on the other hand, though grateful for Verdona's help, just wished she could be left alone to wallow in her (unintentional) self inflicted pain. All she wanted was to keep starring at her ceiling and watch her humanity fade away in the form of dead, blackened skin.
