Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Degrassi: The Next
Generation. I only own any character that I produce through my own
imagination.
Authors Note: Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a long time technical difficulties with viruses and malfunctioning floppy disks that contain the new chapter for this fan fiction! Needless to say I was slightly annoyed...okay VERY annoyed...
Anyway, I know that there was a question about my choice of title. Metamorphosis is a scientific term to do with zoology, insects and stuff...But the word metamorphosis can also mean a change or a transformation. I decided to call Evette's change a metamorphosis hence the title...although now that I think about it I wonder what Hillary Duff meant by making the title of her album "Metamorphosis"... On with the story!
Evette walks through the halls of Degrassi one afternoon after class a month later. She is a straight A student and no longer into having spirit. It seems that her spirit has been stolen. The once lively girl now wishes she was invisible. She can't stand looking into the eyes of anyone. But the biggest difference is that they haven't heard her speak in the past month. Her therapist said it was because of shock and she would speak when she was ready but people were beginning to think all she wanted was attention.
"Evette!"
Evette turns around slowly she sees Craig and Ashley. Craig didn't blame Ashley and Ashley had most obviously forgiven Craig. Craig has his arm draped over Ashley's shoulders. Although Ashley feels bad about what happened she still has a certain nervous feeling when Craig is around Evette.
Evette smiles briefly, behind the couple are most of Evette's friends. Even Manny and Emma are there.
"Evette are you okay?"
Craig watches her with concern as he asks. Evette stares at him and she feels the unstoppable urge to tell him the truth. She shakes her head but she stops her self by looking away and nodding.
Paige pushes her way through the crowd and hugs Evette. Although this evident show of affection should have had some affect on Evette it doesn't. Evette carefully pries Paige off her and runs in the opposite direction. She runs faster and faster until she stops in front of what she thinks is a random door. It is in fact the music room.
Evette hides behind the doors as she hears many pairs of feet run past calling her name, except one. The door opens cautiously and a girl steps in. To Evette's surprise it is Manny.
"Hi Evette, I'm Manny."
Evette nods at her. Manny smiles and sits down on the raised platform at the front of the room. Evette watches her and she thinks that perhaps under all that makeup that Manny has decided to wear and the increasingly low rider jeans, there is still that strangely innocent girl that sometimes breaks from being Emma Nelson's sidekick and becomes her own person.
"I figured I'd find you here. I found Craig here once he was looking at the piano. But no one I know other then Ashley plays the piano and she only plays at home."
Evette stands up and walks toward the dusty piano, it looks like it hasn't been touched in a long time. But the black and white keys are still brand new. Evette sits down. She stares for a long time. Could she play this instrument that she had abandoned so long ago? Would she still remember how?
She places her fingers on the keys cautiously. She thinks back and begins to play a chromatic scale her fingers touching each key in passing till there is none left. She plays the scale going down, her finger slips on a black key and everything comes to an abrupt halt. Evette breaths deeply before placing her fingers on the keys once again. This time she doesn't play a scale she plays a song that her mother loved. A song that her mother sang to her moments before those men killed her.
It has a hauntingly beautiful melody that takes Manny's breath away. For a moment Evette isn't the person she has become anymore she is the person that came to Degrassi so many years ago and opened a new world of mystery to those who knew her.
Craig slows down outside the music room doors. He opens the door slowly. He sees Evette and for not the first time in this lifetime this girl takes his breath away. Craig sees her concentrating on her music and she reminds him of Evonne so much.
Evette lingers on the last note and turns around before she realizes that everyone is gathering in the back of the music room listening to her. She looks down and wrings her hands behind her back.
Craig lets Ashley's hand fall from his shoulder as he walks towards her. Evette opens her mouth as if she is about to say something but she doesn't she closes it. Craig walks closer and closer to her.
Finally he sees her in a new light. She looks like Evonne's twin. She occasionally even acts like her. He places his hands on Evette's shoulders and he shakes her.
"Who are you? Who are you? Say something!"
He screams at her over and over again. Evette looks at him with fear but he continues to shake her, his fingers digging into her shoulders. She tries to stop him but she can't. Paige is panicking and urging Spinner to help her. Spinner is reluctant to walk over because Craig's behavior scares him as well.
"Craig..."
Craig's eyes widen as a quiet hoarse voice that hasn't been used in so long reaches his ears.
"...stop..."
Craig stops immediately, his shaking turns into an embrace. Evette stands there dumbly as Craig hugs her. She buries her face in his chest and wonders how long she will feel warm for, how long before he runs back to Ashley.
Ashley shakes her head and is the first to walk out of the room. She knows that she will never be able to take the place of Evonne and possibly now Evette. There's something different about these 2 people that Ashley can't compete against. Or perhaps it is merely because they hold a greater portion of Craig's heart.
