Day 2 3:46 am

"Don't worry kid." A feminine voice whispered through the darkness. "Just stay calm and go with it. This is a gift no matter what others say, so don't get caught." I opened my eyes to the blurry world and saw a blond blurry woman with two red spots on her face. I think they're her eyes. "Sorry there was no warning about this but there was some good reason I didn't kill you." I gasped and felt pain all through me but then felt my broken bones connecting with each other again. I yelled out in pain and she grabbed my shoulders to hold me still. "Let your body heal and listen. When a man named Cyrus Reed finds you he should explain everything." What the hell is she going on about? I tried to ask her but the words were stuck in my throat.

"Snow!" I heard someone scream.

"Shit." The woman cursed then she knocked me out.

Day 5 12:00pm

I groaned loudly and opened my eyes only to close them again from the bright light shining above. What happened? I remember nothing. Ow and my head hurts.

"She's awake! Thank you god! Snow! Snow it's me Holly!"

"Jesus Christ stop yelling at me, my head is killing me." I whimpered as she helped me sit up on this uncomfortable hospital bed.

"Snow oh sweetheart." I heard a soft voice say in a hushed tone. I looked to the right to see mother staring up at me in a seat beside the bed, in a fit of worry.

"Wow... Snow your eyes..." Holly started and awed at my eyes.

"What? What's wrong with them?"

"The colour of them.. Very pretty." My mother whispered.

"They're like highlighted blue. Really vibrant and bright." Holly said. "And your skin has gotten darker. Snow you've changed."

"I have?"

"Don't be ridiculous Holly..." Mother sighed.

"Mrs Price?" Another woman walked in wearing a lab coat and her dark hair tied back in a ponytail. "Ah Snow Price how are you feeling?"

"Alright. My head hurts but other than that all is good." Except for my memory. "I don't really know what happened."

"Loss of memory, well from your quick recovery I'd say after some time you may get some of your memory back. Do you recall what happened?"

"I remember going camping with my family." I looked at my sister then at my mother and wondered where dad was. "That's it I just remember arriving. Where's Colt? And where's dad?"

"Dad's at work and Colt we have no clue. Snow you've been unconscious for three days." Holly explained and I scoffed.

"Feels like three years." I said sarcastically and they shared a small smile. But seriously three days!

"It's safe for you to go home now but we'll give you a call for a check up." The doctor said smiling at me showing off her pearly whites. I seemed to see every little detail in the room. And I feel like I'm hearing voices from five doors down. Weeping or something. Then outside the window I heard a flock of birds fly up from the ground. The smell of antiseptic stunk up my nose and I shook my head vigorously. No one seemed to notice they just helped me up out of the bed and left me to change into a pair of worn out faded jeans and my blue t-shirt with a red rose printed on it. Mother did whatever she had to with the doctor and with the receptionists at the desk while I waited with Holly in the waiting room. A little boy holding an ice pack on his head stared at me with his mouth open. He then looked at a woman next to him who must of been his mum.

"Mum." I heard whisper even though he's on the other side of the room. "Mum look. It's an angel." He said out loud and I stared at him shocked. Then I looked around me to see if he seriously meant me. Maybe he's talking about my sister who was texting away on her phone.

"Did you hear what he said?"

"Hear what who said?"

"Mum..." He said loudly. "Look..."

"That boy called me an angel."

"What? Snow are you delusional? Besides you can't hear him from all the way over there."

"She's an angel." I swear he's saying that out loud how can she not hear him.

"Did you hear that?"

"He's whispering Snow." She growled then chose to ignore and text away on her phone. Wow what? She doesn't like other people calling me angel? I can clearly hear him.

"What's happened recently while I've been out?" I asked crossing my arms under my breasts. I stared down at them wondering if they have actually gotten bigger. I wondered why the bra was too tight to put on.

"Colt sent flowers, friends and family have been calling to see if you're ok so in other words nothing interesting. Although I did get a hot guy's phone number." She smiled at herself and waited for me to question her about it.

"Great I go in a coma and you get a guy."

"I was just going out to get something to eat and he was there with a broken arm."

"Oh dear god." I said exasperated and rolled my eyes at her. "You're going after the weak ones now. They just don't stand a chance."

"Snow if you saw him you would understand." Yeah sure, sure... I wanted to say but mother came along walking us back to the car and bugging me with questions.

"Are you sure you're alright? Need a tablet? Are you cold? Are you hot?" I had a smart remark for that last question. "How's your head? Is anything else hurting? Are you in pain? Do you have T.O.M?"

"Oh god mum!" I exclaimed as we got to the car. T.O.M is Time Of Month a safe name we use so we can speak of it freely. She looked at me expectantly. "No mum I don't have T.O.M." I said softly then sat down in the backseat while the others sat in the front. Once we got home I slumped down onto the couch and immediately turned into a couch potato. Holly brought me the pink roses Colt had sent to me which had a note saying get well soon.

"Aww roses." I awed even though they're withered a little.

"Yeah pink roses." She said in a off putting way.

"So?"

"Pink roses mean friendship."

"Yeah well maybe he just doesn't know the meaning of flowers."

"You're right. He probably doesn't know the meaning of a lot of things." I hit her arm hard and she cried out in pain but still smiled.

"Don't badmouth my boyfriend!" I grabbed a pillow and kept attacking her with it.

"I can't help it! He makes it too easy!" She yelled out and I gasped at her then hit her again with it.

"Ow Snow stop it that hurts." She exclaimed and I sat down shooting daggers at her. But then I realised I actually hurt her, she was frowning and she whimpered.mThen suddenly she grabbed the pillow from my grasp and started attacking me with it.

"You bitch!" I yelled out while laughing but when we heard mum heading for the living room we sat still and pretended to be watching television. Our home is very modern and white. White walls, white carpets white furniture. But then my room I repainted myself with a sky blue, big windows so there's lots of light shining in. It's a pretty nice house and mum takes pride in it.

"Grandma has called, as well all our family."

"Oh my god lets have a welcome back party for the hell of it." Holly stated and I agreed with her.

"Yeah or a thank god you didn't die party." I said and mother stared at us incredulously. Then sighed at us.

"No. Instead your father has planned on taking us out for dinner tonight. Apparently he has big news he needs to tell us."

"Oh my god I knew it he's gay!" Holly yelled and we both cracked up laughing while mum scowled but laughed as well.

"I can assure you both. He is most definitely not gay." Mother seductively and Holly pretended to vomit.

"Ew, gross, don't use that voice and say stuff like that about dad because it's just wrong." I then made grossed out noises while mother rolled her eyes.

"There's nothing wrong about it. Oh when your father makes love to me it's like..."

"Stop!" Holly and I yelled out at the same time and she winked at us walking out of the room. Holly glanced at her phone and beamed up.

"Well enough to go shopping with Marcy and I?" She asked me.

"Oh Holly..." I groaned. "It's shopping of course I'm going to come with you."

❄❄❄

Marcy has lovely long red hair that falls dead straight on her shoulders and she's all about fashion labels. Her dad is really rich and all she has to do is point and pout.

"Hey Snow how you feeling?" She asked staring softly down at me with green eyes, after giving me a hug.

"Fine thanks."

"What exactly happened?" She asked me flicking her hair back.

"First what do people think happened?"

"All they heard was your family found you covered in your own blood. But you seem fine. Did you get a boob job?" She asked and I stared down at them. I had to borrow one of Holly's bras and even that one is a bit tight.

"No."

"You developed quickly." She smiled and then gave Holly a peck on the cheek. I smelt something, Marcy's Gucci perfume mixed with a forest scent and something else... I don't know...

"Does anyone else smell that?"

"What?" Marcy responded.

"That wet dog smell." I looked around the shopping centre then back at Marcy who stood expressionless.

"God you're weird." Holly stated and they both giggled then we started walking around. Marcy wore skinny black ripped jeans, and I black top with a grey wolf printed on it, then there's her leather jacket and black heel boots that go up to her knees. No one can disagree that Marcy Hinton is a high class hottie but she's not one of those rich fashionable people that take pity on the lower and or pick on you for your faults. She's just cool and one with the universe. She goes with the flow apart from her dark moments when she's really snappy. It takes a lot to get me mad, I forgive too easily and I don't think I could possibly hate someone. I know that if someone makes me cry Holly and Marcy will get mad for me. Have been since I was little. A boy said some horrible things to me when I was what six years old and Marcy attacked him until we found out that he actually had a crush on me. Marcy and Holly stood beside me linking their arms with mine and we walked in unison. Me in my black high tops and my white ripped jeans that I got from target, I'm still wearing the same blue top as before but with a blue-grey hoodie. Holly was the odd one out wearing a black leather skirt and a keep calm and listen to music tank top, but then there's her Christian Louboutin heels. I felt short between them.

"How's your hot lover Snow?" Marcy smirked down at me but Holly gave this serious shake of her head and Marcy kind of shrank away.

"I wouldn't know I've been unconscious for three days." I said ignoring it all. "What about you Marcy how's Kale?"

"Ugh don't get me started." She grumbled scrunching up her nose. "He's acting possessive, he's yelling and he's always angry. I just want to kick his ass." She said through gritted teeth.

"I'd hate that!" Holly stated.

"I hate it too, but I swear I'm mentally screwed up because sometimes when he's so aggravating I just find it so hot and such a turn on." We started giggling as she moaned loudly ignoring the stares from people passing by. "It's times like that when I don't mind him spanking my ass." She said in a hushed tone and I burst out laughing.

"Ooo lets go in there." Holly pulled us into a boutique and immediately they went for the sparkles and sequins. A golden leopard pattern caught my eye and I felt a shock go through me as I remembered the cat. It attacked me, I remember my bones breaking and blood and screaming! But there are no scars and I feel fine. I also remember the woman she told me to let my body heal. And something about Cyrus... Creed, Leed... Weed.

"Damn." My head started to ache again and I touched my forehead with the back of my hand. My temperature has risen immensely like as if the sun is burning on it.

"Snowy?" Marcy came from behind me and looked at me concerned. "Are you alright?" Holly was busy trying on a dress in the change room so I frowned showing my true feelings. Holly frets and worries but Marcy is calm however stern. She's the one I can go to.

"My head hurts." I whimpered and she felt my forehead making surprised expression.

"You're burning up Snowy." She said then got a bottle of water out from her bag. "I'll laugh if the water starts evaporating." I chuckled and took a big sip staring warily at the leopard print top.

"Marcy? Don't think I'm crazy."

"Too late."

"Seriously. I remember something from that night, the creature that attacked me."

"Creature?" She didn't seem surprised but making she's just sinking this in. I was about to continue but Holly stepped out in a silver sequinned mini dress that was sleeveless and low cut.

"What do you think?" She asked us and I strained a smile.

"Hot!" Marcy yelled out and Holly gave a little twirl.

"But isn't going to be uncomfortable when your arms at your sides? Won't the sequins scratch them or something?"

"Beauty is pain."

"I'm just thinking logically." She rolled her eyes then walked back in. "And she's going to buy it anyway." Marcy checked my forehead again and frowned.

"Do you want us to take you home?"

"What? No. I'm fine it's just the memories they are starting to come back... You don't think I'm nuts do you?"

"Snow if you were normal I wouldn't give you the time of day." She said sarcastically tucking a strand of hair behind my ear like my mum often does. She'd be a wonderful mother one day. I smiled up at her then looked at the golden leopard print top again. "Just what was this creature exactly?"

"It was..." She's going to think I'm insane. That I hit my had too hard so imagined these things. My parents are going to put me in an insane asylum. "A giant leopard."

"And I'm a big purple unicorn."

"I knew it." She thinks I'm nuts. She rested her arm over my shoulders and smiled down at me.

"You know what you need?"

"A psychologist?"

"A night out." She ignored my comment and I beamed up at 'night out'. "And don't turn it down like all those other fifty million times I've begged you to come out with me." She's right I've always said no. I'm more of the stay in watch a movie kind of girl but I don't know why, going out seems like the best idea ever.

"I want to!" She stared at me surprised then clapped her hands together in excitement.

"Alright well you have to wear this." She pulled me by my wrist dragging to a cute tight fitting black dress. She took it off the hanger then took it and myself to a change. "Wear it, work it, love it." She ordered and I closed the curtain and tried the dress on. It went mid thigh and exposed a lot of cleavage, it bared my shoulders, the short sleeves meaning to sit on the arms and showed all my curves. Did my waist get smaller? I look hot but feel skimpy.

"It's perfect." I whispered to myself.

"I knew you'd love it now show us." I don't know how Marcy heard me but I shrugged and stepped out of the small change room and Holly and Marcy stood there. Huge smiles plastered on their faces.

"Ooo yes." Holly said seductively.

"Definitely." Marcy nodded in approval. "Now buy it, wear it, work it..."

"And love it I get it."

We headed to the food court and I smelled something familiar. I immediately thought of Colt. Actually I didn't think his face just suddenly popped into mind I looked around for him. This is so weird...

"Hey isn't that Colt?" Marcy asked.

"Where?"

"There with...." Holly paused and I stared dead ahead at Colt looking sexy as ever in a tight black t-shirt but I'm too sure about the tight dark red jeans sitting with a girl. A girl who I've seen at school but I don't really know who she is. My chest tightened and my hands scrunched into fists. "Snow?" My jaw tensed as I glared at the brunette sitting with my guy.

"Son of a..." Before Marcy finished I was over at that table with Colt staring up at me surprised to see me. I remained calm and cool and looked down at the girl. She's plain looking, nothing too special and dresses like every non unique girl who wants to be like everyone else. Clothes from Supre or at least cheap versions of it from target, you know the tacky neon clothing that really doesn't flatter any girl. So why is he with a girl like her?

"Snow, hey babe." Colt said and I noticed his forehead sweating but he smiled as if nothing was wrong. He stood up from his seat and gave me a peck on the cheek. The cheek! Since when does he kiss me on the cheek! I mentally growled at this girl and at this point I'm picturing me pushing her off her seat and... Wow where are these vile thoughts coming from?

"Hey... Who's this?" The girl stood up and stuck her hand out.

"I'm Grace..." I shook her hand then quickly whipped it away.

"She's my cousin!" Colt interjected but there's something off. Really off, I can't get myself to calm down. What's that thumping sound? I looked at Colt's and got the sudden idea that I'm listening to his heart beat. No way, that's not possible. Any is it beating rapidly?

"Yeah... His cousin, you're his girlfriend?" She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes, fake, fake everything. Nails, hair, maybe even her breasts are fake.

"Yes I am." I stated then I looked at Colt.

"When did you get out? You look different." He said and I looked at him expressionless.

"I feel different in all honesty and I just got out this morning. Thanks for the flowers by the way." I said dully unsure about this situation.

"Hey asshole." Marcy appeared beside me staring down at Colt, she's got the height for it too.

"Hey bitch." Colt responded frowning at her. They've disliked each other from the start, Colt has tried being nice but Marcy just wants to rip his testicles off.

"Yeah and remember that I'm not a bitch, I'm THE bitch." She said in a threatening tone. Smirking deviously as she usually does but there was something in her eyes... The eyes of a predator.

"Again with you two, can't we just get along?" Holly started but we all ignored her.

"You know what suddenly I've lost my appetite." Marcy said then looked down at me.

"So have I. I'll see you later Colt." I said and he leaned down to give me a peck on the lips but it felt so cold. And I saw Grace roll her eyes and look away.

"Lets go." Marcy snapped pulling me by my arm and I just followed not turning back to see them together. I winced at the sudden pain in my head. "Forget about him alright, he's an asshole and..."

"It's just his cousin." I murmured assuring myself that he wouldn't lie to me. Plus Grace admits it too so it can't be a lie.

"But Snow..." Holly was shut up by my death stare.

"If he says she's his cousin. She's his cousin." I growled my voice unrecognisable even to myself. I winced and covered my face as if that was going to hide me from the world. "Can we please go out tonight?" I mumbled and Marcy smiled brightly.
