~The Disguise of Souls~
The costume arrived without any problem, ready to be worn after two weeks. What none of the people who had bought it knew was that one of all the costumes was enchanted and whoever wore it would have a pretty bad time that night...
Anna looked at that curious web page while clicking on all the links that led to the costume she wanted. She was sure she would be beautiful and creepy dressed like that. John would like to see her so beautiful and he would forget about that stupid Naomi once and for all...
She returned to another website and there she saw it, as black as in the series and with accessories so beautiful that they made him let out a cry of joy between his teeth. Buy.
Before closing the page, two notifications caught his attention. A small character very similar to the one in the series that costs only €0.99. Buy.
She gave the second notification.
Attention, only 100 copies will be sold in Los Angeles. Your order is number 98. Thank you very much for your purchase.
That message shook Anna, she had bought many times on that page and had never received a notification like that. Also, it seemed strange to him that for such a well-known character there were only 100 costumes in Los Angeles... But at least she had gotten his own...
Two weeks go by very quickly when you don't expect anything, but when you are counting the hours and minutes to reach that date most children have been waiting for...
The more you think about it, the slower the days seem to pass, but they always come.
Anna counted every second until her costume arrived and she tried it on, luckily it looked great on her. Then she spent her entire life counting minutes until she cooked with her boyfriend and her best friend several fun recipes for the party her high school was celebrating. Finally, he counted the hours until the 31st of that monstrous month arrived, October 31st.
The clock in her living room struck seven in the afternoon and her friend entered until she reached her room.
- Hello, handsome! I have brought the paintings you asked for.
- Hello Jenny. Thank you very much, we must hurry or we won't make it to the party...
- Don't worry... I'm sure we'll have time, besides, I'm the queen of makeup and nothing can go wrong with me in charge...
Jenny began painting Anna following the photos her friend had sent her the night before. Her black nails would give her a different look, apart from the insignificant glitter chips. His blue-gray eyes with their brown pupils and dark circles threatened anyone who stopped to look at them. Her skin whiter than snow with small touches of pale pink gave her a perfect touch that, together with her lips subtly marked with black eyeliner, would make her the best Wednesday Addams of all of Halloween.
- Tada! -he told her while showing her how her makeup looked with a small mirror.
-My goodness... I look beautiful... Thank you very much.
- It's nothing... Come on, get up, now it's time for the wig and accessories... Come on...
Jenny dressed her in her dance dress, her wig with the character's two mythical braids, her leather belt and earrings, as well as some beautiful black boots.
- I only see one problem with this costume...
- Which?
- In the Wednesday dance scene they don't have two braids, but rather an updo...
- Okay, we'll fix that with a couple of hairpins...
In the end the two girls left and headed to the school. Jenny had dressed up as a zombie and had a very realistic costume, really.
The school gate was filled with various decorations made by the art students. People passed by and smiled when they saw her and little children ran away in terror.
- Come on, you're going to succeed dressed like that.
-Thank you... -and while he ran his hand over his face he included -. It's time to put on the most serious filter I know how to do...
The girls opened the door while most of the teens looked to see who had just walked in, the party had just started.
-That pretty girl!
John approached his girlfriend while Naomi walked away from the scene.
- You are beautiful.
- Wow, then I should change...
Her boyfriend smiled as he grabbed her hand and took her out dancing. Jenny approached one of her classmates and danced with him happily.
- Hello, little one. Oh, god... - Naomi approached Anna while she couldn't believe what she was seeing, that unfriendly girl was dressed just like her -. It seems that we are dressed alike... Wow man... well, what can we do to remedy it? Uhm, I know... You can change, because I arrived earlier and...
Anna covered her mouth with her hands as the hired DJ stopped the music.
Noemí had fallen backwards to the ground while black foam came out of her mouth. One of the students called one of the teachers.
Anna approached the girl and shook her to see if she could help her with anything. Then he closed his eyes and the only Wednesday in the room she discovered that he had no pulse. The teacher had not yet arrived and everyone present began to get scared while others thought it was a bad joke.
Attention, only 100 copies will be sold in Los Angeles. Your order is number 98. Thank you very much for your purchase...
Those words came suddenly to Anna's mind while her head generated multiple noises, which made her fall to her knees on the floor while she covered her ears.
-Anna! Anna, look at me, what's wrong... Anna, eh... Don't worry, a teacher is coming now... Do you know if he has a pulse?
- John... Naomi, what is it for you?
That question caught the boy off guard, and he hesitated for a few moments before answering.
-My ex... Why do you ask?
-Was it toxic? - The noise increased in the girl's head while John thought quickly without understanding what those questions were about at a time like that.
- Yes I think so...
- Is he still talking to you?
- Yes, are you okay? Anna - John knelt in front of her and put his hands on the girl's wrists while looking at her - Are you jealous of her? I don't like it anymore and you know it, but now is not a good time to talk about this... We will do it later...
-Did he tell you anything about a number of costumes?
- Sounds familiar, but... Stop it, Anna... Relax...
Anna's eyes began to turn white as John's face shook and he shook his girlfriend desperately.
-Anna, Anna!
Anna's eyes returned to normal as John kissed her as tears fell from her eyes.
- Are you OK!?
Anna didn't answer, she just turned her head to where Noemí was going.
The girl's body levitated off the ground as her eyes opened. They were a strong greenish tone. The professor then came to the room to stand petrified before the image before his eyes.
- You... - his hand went to Anna, who seemed to act completely calm. He had something in his hands that no one knew where it came from. This is all your fault, there always has to be something or someone through someone's happiness... You...
-What are you looking for, Naomi? Or rather... What are you looking for, Souls Costume?
-I didn't mention that name if it were a game, you insolent girl!
-What does he want from me, what does he want from us?
- Silence... - he turned to John, who couldn't stop looking around without fully understanding what was happening around him. The rest of his companions had fled or were transformed into statues by shock. John, honey... Come back to this girl, don't you see the beauty that dazzles?
- I... I don't...
-It's not a request! John, to be insolent... You chose the rotten tomato and now you're rotting on your own... But that's going to change, I'm going to make that change, you'll see... Nothing will be the same between you and me. ..And not with this insolent one either.
Naomi, or rather, Naomi's body, threw herself at Anna. She froze and John looked at her without knowing what to do. When the body was a few millimeters away from her, she raised her hand with a pendant made of a beautiful greenish stone with purple touches.
The Soul Disguise instantly walked away while letting out a cry of pain that was heard by all the members of the party.
-Enough! I just want us all to be happy... You are a stone in the road and...
- I already maintained silence, now it's your turn to do it... - Anna joined her hands with the pendant inside and placed them in front of her chest in the shape of a shield -. You only want the joy of the people who wear you but you don't care about anyone else's... However, you don't think that the stones in your path can be removed without harming anyone, or that you can even make friends with them. they.
- You don't understand... There are souls who are tired of being in the background and prefer to go with me.... I've been lucky with this "purchase", don't you think?
Anna couldn't let go of the necklace in her hands, she had thought of everything she had to say instantly so as not to make a mistake, she had to get to the final point she had planned...
- This... Girls... I think this is not necessary... You are overdoing it... Some more than others... - the two looked at John while he was trying to speak to soften the situation a little. That was not in Anna's plans. Noemí, please, stop it now... You already know that our relationship ended a long time ago and it has nothing to do with it, Anna...
- Silence! I don't want to hear that, never that! -and turning to Anna he commented-. Thanks to you, this body has made a decision... It is going to abandon its soul forever... - and then he let out a big, long laugh.
Anna breathed as she took a step forward, firmer than a wall.
- I don't want to come to this... I don't like you anymore but I don't like you either... After all, you're my boyfriend's ex, but... I didn't want to come to this... - Anna brought the necklace up to Noemí , which he shouted while still laughing.
- Thank you, stupid Anna... I'm finally going to get what I wanted to do...
The Disguise of Souls then disintegrated and Noemí's body began to transform into thousands and thousands of colored dots, each one was a different emotion.
Thanks to you I can be what I have always wanted to be... What I was created to be... I was never supposed to be a human, but they got one or two buttons wrong and now you have fixed it... The yellow ones, my moments of happiness; the blue ones, my moments of sadness; the green ones, disgusting; purple my fears... So with all the colors... Thanks to these circles all humans can exist... You will think I'm crazy but you shouldn't be human either... We can fix it, whenever you want...
Anna looked around. Most of his companions had left the room from the necklace world. Only the voices of Noemí, Jenny, John and her were left there.
-Guys... I'm not the only one listening to this, right?
The two shook their heads as Jenny approached her friend.
- Maybe instead of being colored circles you are something more... cool... To tell you something... - Jenny smiled to hide her desire to cry -. You do what you want, but you have to swear something to me...
- That? -Anna used the same strategy as Jenny to not shed a tear.
- That we will always be friends, whatever you are... Deal? - He extended the smallest finger of all while tears ran uncontrollably down his cheeks.
- Deal... - he threw himself into his arms before joining his fingers. It could be the last time they hugged each other.
John walked over and wiped away a tear before speaking.
-Now that I have a girlfriend again, both of them are going to leave, the new one and the old one...
Anna laughed nervously.
- Promise me that you will be careful with the motorcycle.
- Promise me that you will always love me, no matter what happens...
- and whatever it is.
The two stared into each other's eyes as the faucets in their eyes failed to close.
- I accept... - Anna said while Jenny joined the couple's embrace and Noemí made some strange and incomprehensible noises.
When Anna opened her eyes again she saw nothing at first, just absolute emptiness. He still had the necklace in his hand.
She looked around and then at herself. That's when he understood everything.
Two beautiful and careful wings emerged from her back that amazed our protagonist.
Anna waved them as she began to fly and could see what was around her. I could see Jenny and John crying as they told stories about that cheerful girl.
Anna went lower again until she was in front of him.
-Guys... Now you are an angel... Hello?
They can't see you... You haven't touched the pendant...
Noemí's voice continued to ring in her mind while Anna touched the pendant and her friends looked at her in surprise.
- I'm back...
- ANNA!
The two threw themselves into his arms while crying. You could still be friends, plus Anna would be an angel.
~Love gives wings~
