The boy shook his head repeatedly in refusal. He doesn't want to get punished by his mother.
"Please I don't want to get myself in trouble," the boy said with worry.
On seeing her little hope almost crashing to the ground, Kathie quickly rushed towards Kelvin with pleading eyes and held his shoulder tenderly.
" I swear you won't be in trouble, I will take care of everything. I promise you if this workout, you might be working hand in hand with Kathie Matinez" She said quickly, showing how anxiously she needed to leave the house.
The boy's eyes flared in overwhelming joy at hearing the name of his female celebrity crush being mentioned, " Really?" He asked instantly.
" Yes dear," Kathie said with a flashy smile but suddenly, Kelvin's mood changed so drastically which Kathie caught so quickly.
" What is it dear?" Kathie inquired, looking at his face with concern.
" I wish I could only just say hi to her but too bad she died so drastically. Everyone is torn up by her death" Kelvin explained, looking so unhappy but to Kathie, it was more of a parable.
Kathie stood there with furrowed brows, looking so disheveled, " Who?"
" Kathie Martinez," The boy responded.
" But am still here" Kathie mistakenly blurted out and quickly held her mouth to avoid making a more confusing statement, " I mean… How did she die?"
The cute browned-haired boy looked at Kathie weirdly but still replied to her question.
" From what I heard from the news, she was raped and hanged on a rope and an acid was poured on her face that impaired her face. No one recognized her at first when they found her body on the roadside near her car" The boy narrated with a crouched face to explain how irritating the face was.
Kathie froze there in deep thought.' So, I died that night. It wasn't a dream, it all happened that night. They killed me without pity just because of the greed of men. I will revenge with pure vengeance no one will be left out"
" Hello!" the boy waved his hands in front of Kathie to bring her back from her thoughts.
" Sorry, I zoned out," Kathie apologized with an exasperated sigh while rubbing her eyes to stop the tears from falling.
Her life has pulverized down to nothing. Despite all the suffering, all the humiliation she had endured to get to where she once was, human nature and an inexplicable phenomenon had changed everything.
" Are you going to help me or not?" Kathie reminded Kelvin. She's running late for the show and she needs to find a way out!
It didn't take long before the sound of a door opening and closing with a loud bang was heard and a clicking sound was heard after indicating that the door had been locked.
And Kathie was sure that whoever locked the door had taken the key with her which meant she needed a new route out.
" I think there is another way out from the basement" the brown-haired boy finally announced and that brought a new light of hope within Kathie.
" Give me a sec" Kathie quickly went inside and shot the door. She hastily put on her clothes and rushed towards the bathroom to clean the rough makeup that had been destroyed from all the tears that were shed that day.
" Hurry up before my mom will look for me," the boy said with a low tone.
" I am coming" Kathie replied with the same tone, and after cleaning, she went back to apply another makeup however, this time, it was going to be a light one.
Soon, she was out and they headed to the basement. The basement was serene and not to lie, scary at the same time.
After scouring for the door which Kelvin could no longer remember since it had been a long since he last saw the door Kathie made it out of the other street.
The street was busy with cars and civilians going to their various businesses and locations. Seeing the bright day again, Kathie breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, her plans were about to work out.
She walked about a few blocks away from her prison before deciding to wait for a taxi. She stood under the sun for about two minutes before she saw a hackney cab coming in her direction.
She waved at the cab and the car slowed down a little before stopping near her. The windows rolled down a little, revealing a bearded man sitting on the driver's seat with a stern face which Kathie didn't bother to check because she was already late for the audition.
" How much will it cost to get to Henrich company?" Kathie asked casually.
Look at her pricing a taxi when she had once owned a car.
" 30 cents " the man responded dismissively without even taking a single glance at the passenger, nevertheless, Kathie wasn't called out for such an attitude.
" Okay. I thought it would be far from here but I guess I'm wrong" Kathie opened the back seat and sat comfortably in the car.
To be honest, the total money in her purse was 50 cents which should go for her toe and fro.
She got the money from a hidden savings bag from one of Ashley's clothes when she was roaming around everywhere in search of good clothes. A lucky day but not so lucky.
Soon the car took off, heading toward where her story began. Where everything came to be.
She was nervous to the extent that she was visibly shaking. She made a little prayer and closed her eyes, waiting for the car to reach her destination.
" We are here," the driver announced.
" What!" Kathie was shocked as she fluttered her eyes open, " We reached there so soon?"
However, the driver didn't say a word. He waited patiently for his money.
It was as if they reached there in a twinkle of an eye. Like how fast can he drive?
Kathie quickly looked around her surroundings to check and when she saw the big skyscraper filled with people she finally agreed that they had indeed reached.
" Oh, that was fast but shouldn't it cost less than 30 cents" She was trying to save more money by negotiating with the driver, but the man wasn't ready for such a play.
" Miss, you are wasting my time"
" Fine!" Kathie quickly said and handed him his money, " So mean"
She came out of the car and closed the door and as soon as her eyes landed on the building, the realization got her. All her memories both good and bad, came floating in.
She stood there in a daze to take in the fetching sight in front of her. Soon, her eyes caught the beautiful damsel that was used for the company's billboard.
The lady was so charming and her smile was so captivating.
And that person was no other person than her, Kathie Martinez.
Kathie smiled on seeing herself representing the company's name but soon her smile vanished from her face upon realizing that she was no longer Kathie Martinez.
A drop of tear fell on remembering how she was molested that night and her heart was immediately filled with so many precarious emotions.
" Here we go again," she said wickedly and started heading toward the agency.
It was dark at night. There were a few stars in the sky and a moon illuminating the whole silent forest with its non-luminous light. It was at this particular moment, the chilling breeze of the night became so cold and unendurable for human skin. It was also at this time that the forest and its calmness became so scary and intimidating except for the animal noises that could be heard from the distant part of the woods.At the center of this forest, a pair of beautiful blue eyes flashed open in the middle of the night. Looking at her surroundings, Kathie's face altered into a frown. She was in an unknown place and was surrounded by trees and other horrific things.As she was still gazing around with confusion written all over her face, a new spasm of pain jolted her body upright and made her tighten her face more.Kathie quickly examined her body carefully and realized that she was lying on the floor and was badly injured. She slowly touched her hair which felt damp with shaky hands,
There was a deafening ringing sound all over the place that never hoped to stop. It sounded for more than ten minutes before it started to fade away and was immediately replaced with a piece of harmonious music.Out of nowhere, a single star appeared in the sky and was dancing rhythmically with the melodious music sounding in the background, but soon everything stopped, and silence overwhelmed the place. Then, the next moment, few sounds could be heard but this wasn't an ordinary sound but the voices of people talking." She is waking up!" One of the voices announced." No, she can't wake up now, we need to complete the operation first. Give her the vallium 10mg" another commanded" Yes ma"Soon, there was silence everywhere again. After so many times had passed, Kathie woke up again. At first, everything was clouded but soon everything started getting in shape.The walls were white. There was a beeping machine that was monitoring someone's heartbeat. There were two other empty bed
Kathie was left in disorientation. This face… This wasn't her face. The face she saw in the mirror wasn't hers. She didn't have any blue eyes nor did she have any blonde hair."What exactly is going on?!" Kathie yelled with a vague expression on her face.Kathie's heartbeat increased as anxiety surfaced. She was terrified." How am I going to explain to the world what happened?!" She asked herself, trembling with fear.The doctor wasn't getting all that was happening. She stood there looking at the lady in front of her oddly.How can someone forget what they look like? If not madness what would that be? The doctor asked herself in her mind." I don't understand what is going on," Doctor Emily asked, after trying to fathom what was happening but couldn't process a bit of the situation.The voice of the Doctor brought Kathie who has zoned out back to reality. She has been on her head ever since she discovered that she now has a different body and face. She immediately turned to face t
Instantly, Four figures came into the room. Two policemen and a middle-aged couple.As soon as the woman who came with the police officers saw Kathie, she gave out a massive smile and hustled toward her with joy. However, Kathie noticed that the smile wasn't genuine." Oh my sweet Ashley, how have you been? I'm sorry that we left you that night " the woman apologized and embraced her tightly.Kathie froze. She wasn't customary to this type of family thing. How was she expected to harmonize fine with people she doesn't even know just because she got their daughter's face? She doesn't even have a parent. They are all mistaken. She wasn't their precious ASHLEY everyone thought she was. Why did God punish her by putting her in this weak, fragile body that must have been over-cherished by her parents?She doesn't want a parent that is too clingy. It looks childish.'But hold on a sec, what's with that impostor smile that old woman put on just now?' Kathie asked inwardly, " I need to be ca
It was a brand new day. The climate seemed dull. It wasn't gloomy nor was it sunny, just completely overcast. Kathie woke up remembering that she had an appointment today she needed to attend to and hurried towards the bedroom to prepare. She slept so well last night. Maybe it was because of the soft mattress she slept on last night. She has been discharged from the hospital and was brought back by her so-called parents who kept on showing their artificial self and care. She already knew the type of person they were. They were the likes of Karen and Jackson. Today marks the first day she starts her revenge. She planned on going for an audition in Henrich to see if she might be selected. After taking her bath and dressing up that morning, she went to a mirror and stood in front of it, looking at the blue-eyed and blonde-haired girl in the mirror. " Won't they recognize me?" Kathie asked herself while looking at herself in the mirror. " No, have you forgotten? You now have a diff
Kathie on hearing the furious voice behind her, swung around immediately with apprehensiveness only to see her so-called mother standing there with anger displaying in her eyes. " Ashley, what is it!?" the woman repeated herself. Kathie just wanted to explain exactly what happened but stopped herself from doing so and decided to play along with the game. " Mom, was everything she said true?" Kathie asked with crocodile tears slowly streaming down her eyes." Am I that useless? Don't I have any value?" The woman whom Kathie has come to know that her name is Laura glanced at her daughter with disbelief before looking at Kathie with a resignedly sigh. " Ashley, dear" the woman called softly and walked towards Kathie slowly but deep down it was more of a roar. Kathie could still see those raging eyes burning through her skin. If this woman had attended a school of pretends, she would have graduated with a master's degree. " Ashley my dear," Laura said as she came face to face with Ka
