Chapter 15

Hey! Sorry it took so long to review, first there was the 4th celebration and then I ended up getting to go to this place that I've been trying to go to since school ended, then I got home and our computer broke for over a month…but Please review!

Lily POV

On October 30th Lily woke up at 8. Her attack would come soon, with one problem; how in the world was she suppose to get from her bed all the way over to the bathroom on the exact other side of the room without getting seen? She pulled the collar of her shirt down to look at her tat.

"So Arameao," She said looking at the creature. "How are we going to do this. " Arameao seemed to be a good name for him; Araneae was the technical term for a spider after all. But Araneae seemed too feminine for him; Arameao sounded much better, maybe Ataneao…..

I officially lost it She thought to her pulling her shirt back up. I'm naming my creepy-psycho extreme dark magic spider tattoo...

Definitely Arameao.

"Lily are you awake yet?" Michelle asked from behind the curtain.

"Yeah, you guys are so loud." Michelle and Adrian chuckled. She said sitting up and pulling her hair out to cover her face. She ran her fingers through a few strands to make sure they covered the entire web.

"Is Gemma awake yet?" She asked when inspiration struck her, she cautiously pulling back her curtain and stepped out.

"No, what time did she get back last night?" Adrian asked from where she and Michelle were going through their closet.

"Um…." Lily got up and walked around the room to peer in Gemmas bed, a fabulous way to make her hiding her tattoo look natural. "She got back a little before 11, but we stayed up until 1 or so." She pulled back Gemmas curtain and looked at her. She changed into her pajamas, wiped of all her makeup. But the vanity less Gemma was just as beautiful. She was smiling in her sleep. Thoughts of Ty, Lily guessed. She closed the curtains and walked to the bathroom, the left side of her face that carried her tat completely hidden from Michelle and Adrian the whole time.

Once in the bathroom, Lily brushed her hair back and pulled her shirt down to see her tattoo better. It all seemed to have grown; Arameao was now stretching across 2 inches over her heart. His ghastly web now reaching from her ear to her belly button.

Lily reached into one of the drawers in the bathroom cabinets; she shifted through various brushes and curlers until she found several canisters of cover up. This had been one of the things she had considered to help her keep this whole thing a secret. Lily open the lid and began to paint over her tattoo.

The attack reached her moments after she started. She fell to the ground, everything in her hand flying out.

Images, sounds and disconnected movements jarred through her. They were unfamiliar; Lily couldn't find the memory of the last time she had seen these sites or heard the noises that flashed and burned. Her entire body was moving, trying to hold still hurt almost as bad as moving did. She was no longer her, not herself, but not another either. Someone else was moving the finger tips and thrashing the arms.

As before, a sucking sound cleared it all away. Lily moved her dragged her head slowly back and forth in an effort to regain control. She was lying on the bathroom floor, her head in between the cabinets and the toilet, her foot was in the bathtub and one of her hands were caught on the open door of the cupboard under the sink. She pulled herself up, slowly, painfully, her entire body screaming in protest. Leaning once again against the counter for support, she looked at her reflection.

The web had expanded, before it only reached her ear while it now cut across her eye. The makeup that she had applied to the web prior to her attack had been completely melted off; it was now dripping down her neck in a liquid state.

Hmmmmmm. Time for plan B.

"Michelle?" She called out loud enough for the other girls to be able to hear her through the door. "Do you mind if I use your hair scissors?"

"Sure," even through the door, Michelle's voice sounded shocked. "You're cutting your hair?"

"Yeah," Lily responded as she searched the other drawers. "My bangs."

"That's awesome!" Adrian shouted "You'd look so cute with bangs, want us to come in and help you?"

"No! " Lily said automatically, imagining their reaction to Aramaeo "I mean, why don't I cut them and then you can tell me how they look?"

"Oh, ok. Fine. But hurry."

Lily quickly found the scissors and deposited them on the counter, and then she pulled the cover-up back onto the counter from where it had fallen onto the floor and laid it out. Picking up the brush she ran the paint over her tattoo again, praying it would only melt if an attack was happening. She covered the web down to where her shirt would cover, apply the makeup several times to make sure that it would stay, cursing the fact that she was out of water proof.

She picked up a comb and throw the makeup back into the drawer. Using the tip of the comb she pulled a thick portion of her hair from the crown of her head.

"Ok, "she called out "I'm cutting now."

"Hurry up!" Michelle called, "the suspense is killing me!"

Lily rolled her eyes and slowed down just because of that. Picking up the scissors, she cut began cutting her hair.

She cut one section at her eyebrow and then angled the scissors as she cut lower and lower. Every strand as longer than the rest. All of them flowing perfectly to cover her eye, check, ear and the piece of her throat where the tattoo was. When Lily put down the scissors and ruffed her hair, then the bangs fell naturally over everywhere her tattoo was.

Feeling proud of herself, Lily skipped from the room.

"Ta-da." She said extravagantly landing in front of Adrian, Michelle and now also Gemma. All of which didn't say anything, but just sat and stared at her with open mouths.

"What?" She said instantly self conscious "You don't like it?"

""What?" Asked Michelle "Like it? We freaking love it!" Her and Adrian stood up and began talking excitedly about the new hair style.

"Lily?" Gemma asked standing up, "Why didn't you tell me you were cutting your bangs?"

Lily shrugged "It was kind of a last minute thing. No biggie."

"Other than you looking totally and completely friggin' hot? No biggie at all."

Lily laughed, glad to forget about Arameo for a little while.

Thanks, please review!
