Metamorphosis chapter two

My eyes lock in with the 4 boys, as they all approach me. I sucked in a quick deep breath, straightened my back and pursued my lips in a pouty shape as I bit the inside of my mouth.

‘Woher kommst du?’ The brunette asked enthusiastically. 

‘Huh?’ ‘Sorry I didn’t get that’

‘Sie sprichst Englisch Albert’ said the Harry Potter lookalike. His smile widened even more and asked ‘where come you?’ To which I chuckled as ‘Harry Potter’ quickly corrected Albert’s horrendous grammar.

I explained to them how I normally woke up, annoyed that I was awoken from my beauty sleep, brushed my teeth, ate my breakfast, got changed, did my makeup and landed in the middle of nowhere in a place stuck in 1910. 

As expected they all looked at each other as if they had found out that the moon was really made of cheese. Albert continued smiling at me as wide as a Cheshire Cat , Ludwig whom I assumed was the smarter one of the clique, was lost in deep thought and for the round faced dude and the lanky curly head, both seemed to be mesmerised with both my makeup and outfit. However a quick glare was enough to make them cough and divert their gaze.

‘My father is a physics professor at our school , he may have theories on how this phenomenon came to be..’ Ludwig piped up. ‘There must be a scientific reason for this’. 

‘Ja I agree, and considering your clothes and face paint I believe you’re not from this era’ Albert chuckled. I didn’t let that slide that easily. His smile quickly erased. 

‘What I mean is that girls here, in this era don’t wear such things, not that you don’t look good, it’s just that… that…’

The curly head spoke up, ‘Albert is trying to say the clothes girls in your era wear 

is vastly different to the ones in our era.’ 

His eyes trailed down on to my toned waist and up into my eyes again .

 ‘Forgive us if you feel we gawked at you, we just aren’t used to girls showing so much… skin’ 

His pale cheeks quickly turned rosy as his eyes met mine. I think his name was Paul. Suddenly, my right arm was pulled from behind. 

‘Let’s go to the school Alessia, Ludwig’s father is bound to be there’ said Albert charismatically. As Ludwig and Albert led the way, I was stuck behind Paul, the shy boy I had just met to my left and Franz to my right. I felt a pair of eyes stare from the left. Soon my eyes met directly with a pair of teal eyes, however this time he didn’t look away.

Metamorphosis chapter one

I admired the cobalt blue shimmer in the mirror as I fiddled with the trinket between my fingers. I could see my fathers eyes glimmer with light saying how deeply I resembled my younger grandma, something about the auburn hair, ghostly pale skin and my slender build. 

The necklace had been in my family for centuries, passed down to the first daughter of every generation. “I wish your mother was here to see you.” My father sobbed. I scowled at the thought of this. My mother had an affair with a younger person at her workplace leaving my father into pieces. No mother would ever leave their child like that, hence the reason why I don’t register her as my kin.

I lathered on my moisturiser, tapping it into my skin dreading the thought of heading into school the next day. I laid out my usual outfit, low waisted jeans and a graphic crop top to pair with it. Considering it was going to be chilly, I grabbed an oversized zip-up hoodie to cover my back. My low waisted jeans accentuated my hourglass look. I was into all things y2k everything apart from the orange foundation. From the jewellery, to the blue eyeshadow, to showing the underwear with low waisted jeans, filled me with a high level of serenity as I truly had found myself. 

The dread that had filled my body that morning was truly indescribable. The feeling of overstimulation overcame me, as vivid images of crowds of kids swarming around me was enough to make me scowl, however the thought of glamming up my face was enough to convince me to hop out of bed. The final look was impeccable. The shimmery nude lipstick and brown lip liner duo added a girly playful look to my makeup, the hot pink g-string added a teasing factor to my outfit and the shimmery baby blue on my eyelid really tied the look together. 

As I turned to face my larger mirror beside my door, stark white light shone from my blue amulet. The glow illuminated even more. I winced as until my iris could no longer take the strong ethereal glow. With my eyes covered with the arm of my hoodie, my ears pick up sounds of horses clicking onto cobbled streets and voices of speaking a language that clearly isn’t English. 

I open up my eyes and take in the scenery of the new environment I am in. Ladies with long poofy dresses that sweep the floor, a cobbler hammering away at some boots and a group of boys wearing a type of school uniform which consisted of black suits and a red hat hushing their voices as they gawked at me. Sorry did I just time travel?

My stomach growled at me. I wish i had some money in my pocket. It is ironic to me for even say pocket when mine barely even meets the characteristics of one. it was just a bare string of thread holding the ripped holes together.  Nevertheless, I  still rummaged threw it like a thief rummaging for valuables. Nothing.

I smelt a mouth-watering aroma. My body reacted to this by secreting saliva .The poor thing! It really thinks i was about to eat food.All i  could do was swish  the saliva around  in my mouth hydrating the dry patches on my tongue . I guess it was extremely malnourished so any chance it could smell food of any kind it was preparing  for me to get it and eat it. The big question is should I?

I whizzed through the kitchen’s door as i heard large shoes clunking behind me at a fast pace.

‘‘You think you can do a scarper again!’’ Bellowed the obese shop owner.

God had heard my prayers. The oversized shop owner had become worn out.  As i  heard him taking large deep breaths not far away.His face looked like a freshly picked tomato with all of the redness concentrated  on the apples of his cheeks.

‘‘ i’ll catch you next time you little imp from hell !’‘ he said with a hoarse voice as he was still taking in deep breaths. I was suprised he hadnt died or had his first heart attack with all that layers of of skin taking a toll on his body.

A  smile of joy popped up on my face running from ear to ear.I jumped up and down with glee. My fiery red hair bobbed up and down like children playing bobbing apples bobbing their heads in and out of the water. I held the juicy roast beef in my hand with the succulent juice running between my bony stick fingers. I stopped and took a huge sigh of relief while intenesly sucking the mouth watering juice out of the meat like a vampire sucking the blood out of its prey.

I said to myself i get to live just one another day. While feasting on my stolen meat.

‘‘ Corsen Corsen!’‘

i did a full turn. Twisting my stick like neck looking around for the person who called me. Unfortunately, for my suprise the sound echoed from an eerie alleyway. I knew what this meant.

You see everyone has their own secrets. Secrets hidden deep down in their soul which they dont utter to a single living being.I have done acts which are horrible.Not even my so called ‘parents’ know about it.I have  dark unspeakable secrets.Forbidden secrets that i have done to merely get by. 

Yes, i know what is running through your mind. I mean i had to find money for food somehow. i wasnt proud of it but i still did it anyways. luckily, i came to my senses and knew that i had dreams i wanted to persue and didnt want to land up in jail before i was eighteen.

As soon as i saw him literal smoke steamed out of my ears,my face turned crimson red. i didnt even think. i used my puny weak fist and puched right in the nose. His nose was already crooked and stuck out like a proud peacock but i think i went too far. Okay i know i went to far. i broke his nose.

Blood gushed out of his nose like a flowing tap. The blood clotted around his nose. I know,I know your probably thinking why i did such an act. Well, i did mention that i did unspeakable acts but this case was different.

I was a mere child with childish girly thoughts. Back then my father wasnt a drunkard and my mother hadnt died. i was ten. He was fifteen. He grabbed the ribbon of my pink frock and grabbed me closer and close to his lips. I thought he was giving me a hug.  He grabbed the zip of my dress, untied it. He removed his trousers and.... well i think you are mature enough to know what happened.

I will never forget the day he forced himself upon me. I was scarred for life. Every time i meet him i have the urge to get a knife, slit his wrists,tongue and finally stab him right in the heart.

So. he really thinks after all those years i was going to run into his arms. Kiss him passionately and give him a hug. Ha! Jokes on him.

‘‘You cant try and freeze me and run away’‘ He said while wiping the dried up clotted blood with his filthy long sleeved shirt.

Though he was literally skin and bone he was in fact quite strong for someone who barely eats and drinks beer day in day out.

Before i could even say Merlins wand he grabbed my skinny wrist and forced my to look him in the eyes. A girl could easily get lost in those emerald green eyes but my eyes immediately started watering due to the alcoholic smell reeking out of his mouth and the fact that he smelt like he hadnt bathed in centuries.

‘‘ I dont know why but there is something about you that attracts me to you’‘ ‘‘ i always feel the urge to capture you and make you mine’‘.

He gave me a look.  A look that made me heart stop beating and made my body freeze while peeing in myself as i was petrified.

‘‘Let me go you pedophile’‘ i said while kicking him in the shins grabbing my wrist using my free left hand trying to grab his hand to let go of my right hand.

I felt a drip of sweat trickling down my back. He threw me to the wall, he leaned his body closer to mine, and his face was hovering in front of mine.

I used my left hand and shot sharp icicles into his chest giving me enough time to flee.

‘‘ I’ll catch you Corsen, I’ll catch you and i promise when i do i’ll never let you go you’ll be mine forever’‘ While wheezing blood and trying to take a deep breath.

I just hope i had’nt made a big mistake.

I didnt care if my underwear could be seen while i was running down the street at this point i just wish mens obsession with me could just stop.

You see i am a freak. I can do freakish things and i look like i freak.My eyes are far away from my nose. My lips are waaaayyy below my nose thus making me a target for kids to bully . I have been in and out of foster homes since i was 10. Back then my father was drunk 24/7 and my mom didnt have stage 2 breast cancer. 

It has’nt been easy since my mothers passing. My dad still  doesnt want to acknowledge the fact that she is gone and isn’t coming back. He then decided to take everything out on me. He used to whip me  till my voice when hoarse and i ended up passing out and couldnt tell if i was dreaming or dead.

Teachers at school noticed my whip marks and bruises even though i tried covering it up with oversized hoodies and sweatpants. They immediately called child protective services thus my relationship with foster families began. All my foster fathers ended up being creepos and used to watch me get changed and worst of all took advantage of the fact that i was a skinny,weak,puny kid and couldnt do anything to defend myself.

Dammit! The landlords sent another sweet little eviction letter. I quickly skimmed through it to see how much time i had until i was kicked out of this mangy apartment. Seven days! There was no way i was going to be able to get 700 dollars by the end of this week. I guess i had to just say goodbye to this mangy little apartment. Ugh! I actually was tearing up this was my first apartment after i got emancipated.

I just decided to  just throw on an oversized t-shirt and shorts and call it a night. Just when i opened the door of my room an eerie sound schoed from down the hallway. 

‘‘Hello Hello is Corsen here?’‘

Dammit! It’s the frickin landlord coming to evict me but  the letter said till next week. I was utterly confused. I hopped out of my bed,slipped on my mucky bunny slippers from salvation army and decided to take my wooden hairbrush with me just in case it was a murderer or kidnapper or somethin’. Hey! I wasnt about to get kidnapped and my kidneys sold online okay?

‘‘Is anyone here?’‘ ‘‘Come out and i won’t hurt you’‘ i said with a shaky voice. I was literally peeing in my underwear.

I heard heavy breathing and large footsteps. I suddenly remebered that there was nothing to fear as i have taken a few karate classes here and there.

AAAH! ‘’What in lords name,what are you doing here?’’

He looked like an angel sent from heaven. He smelt of pine cones and fresh earth after a springs rain.

‘‘ Ah so you must be Corsen,nice to meet you’‘ he said while having a enormous smile running ear to ear.

‘‘ Umm.... this is an invasion of private property, you know i can sue right?’‘

He chuckled so hard that his hair bobbled up and down. His silver hair was a kind of silver that is out of this world. Literally it was shiny sleek and smooth it looked out of this universe. He wore a green tunic with a brown belt and a green shoes on. Like hello the 1900s is calling and they want there clothes back.

‘‘ Well its a shocker i havent seen you since you were a baby and you still have the wild red mane of hair that you used to have, well time flies i guess’‘. he murmured under his breath with a little smirk on his face.

‘‘Ummm.. number one how do you know me and number two its kinda creepy that you saw me when i was a baby when i literally have no idea who you are’‘.

‘‘ i think you should lead me to the living room we have many things to discuss’‘ he hurriedly sat down making himslef comortable on the mouldy sofa set.

Hey! I wasnt made out of money and if my apartment had a fridge, televison and a sofa i was a happy camper.

‘‘So why are you here?’‘

‘‘Oh yes i was sent by Albus Dumbledore to tell you that you have got into Hogwarts’‘ he said with an serious look on his face.

I burst out into tears of laughter.Like does he really think i was stupid.Out of all the lies he could have told me, Hogwarts,like really.I guess he was just another social care worker trying to find ways to get me to come back.But i am not that that daft okay.

‘‘Whats so funny?’‘ while giving me  stern look.

‘‘Ummm.... you know Hogwarts doesnt exist right?’‘ ‘‘It was just a story J.K Rowling wrote for entertainment and imagination.

‘‘You know the whole magical realm has been in contact with the human realm for centuries now’‘. ‘‘The story of J.K Rowling or whatever her name was was half-truths’‘. ‘‘This Harry Potter bot your talking about was all just made up’‘.’‘But the sorting hat,Albus Dumbledore,Severus Snape and some othes are real’‘.
