7. Make-up

NURSE ROSE POV:

I walked down the narrow hall. The case felt lighter after carrying it for so long. My hands hurt.. I straightened my back and scanned the walls. I felt like I was being watched. I felt my cheeks go red and hot. I shifted and slid a hand off the handle of the case slowly. I fanned myself with my other hand. They keep it so hot in the dorm units. I stumbled and I began to feel light-headed. I should have been asked to do a better job than this. But, Doctor Scratch only trusted me for this.

I stepped up to the door. The handle was cold and wet. Sollux Captor. He was in there. I had to get rid of the body. I had to make it seem like he died from testing on his eyes and brain. I peeked the door open and slid in. I looked up at the lifeless, haunting body hanging from the fan. I sighed and looked at the case Doc' told me to bring. I set it up on the table and clicked it open.

It was filled with documents, make up, and cutting tools. I took the knife and cut the rope. The body slammed down of the carpet. I didn't want to clean up any blood! I sighed and knelled down next to the body. His neck was rope burned. He had some scars on his arms too. I rolled up the sleeves of my white coat. It's a good thing I worked in the make-up department at theater back in high school. I needed to cover this stuff up.

I got some of the makeup from the case and looked down at him. He looked so helpless. I sighed and smiled a little, dragging him onto his bed. I set up the case next to me on the floor. I got up on the bed with the body and tried to smile. I liked acting around with the bodies I had to work on. I lifted up his chin lightly with my thumb and smeared some makeup on his neck. I popped open some make-up cleaner and cleaned the dry eyeliner he had on when he died.

He was so pale-faced and sad. It must have been horrible to end his own life. I popped open some eyeliner and looked at his glassy, dead eyes. I slowly closed them and wiped his eyelids. I tested the eyeliner on my wrist. It looked like a good dark color. I sure hope he isn't allergic to what this brand uses to make eyeliner with. I put some light powdering on his eyelid. I drew a bold line along the upper eyelid. I had to make sure it didn't "glob" up in one place. I smudged it to get the cool "guy-liner" look. I opened up a case of black eye shadow and applied it to him.

After a lot of cases of makeup and laughing and talking to myself as if the body was talking to me, I sighed and got off the bed. I closed the case and pulled down Sollux's sleeves. I fixed his hoody and his loose jeans. Doctor Scratch knocked on the door and I slid out witch Sollux wrapped in a white sheet. I placed him on the medical gurney Doc' brought in the hall. We rolled him out trying to be as quite as we could. We came out of the medical side of the building rolling Sollux on the gurney and told everyone the story we made up. They believed us.
