Six weeks later…

Five steps forward, a panicked 180-degree turn, three steps in retreat. Turn. Repeat.

This was a colossally terrible idea. Why on earth did I let Rose, Emmett and Jasper bully me into coming back here today?

It's not about the hair this time. Not about biblical vipers sapping the super strength or sexual mojo from the hero of the story.

In fact, if there's a villain here, it would be me.

Not sure whether she'll even see me just because my name happens to be in the system, I take a deep breath and push inside Mystique.


A/N: We're baaaaack! And what the heck happened in those six weeks? Hmmmm. And you sharp ladies must've noticed the scissors have turned into something else. Now what the heck is that? What does our Hairward do for a living? (Good luck with that!)

I can't pull off a daily posting schedule with this one right now, but I'll do my best to post several times a week. Thank you all for your loyalty to this quirky little guy! xx ~BOH
