Chapter 6: Her bully now worships her

Kira's POV.

"Mirabel where have you been?" Rebecca yelled at me as I ran upstairs.

"Out for a stroll" I voiced out from where I was, but she wasn't satisfied.

"No no no Miss. You are not allowed to go out on a stroll when you just got out of a coma" I heard her march upstairs. "Mirabel, you wait right there"

Did she realize she was talking to a fully grown 21-year-old woman? My inner self screamed in fury, but I was able to keep calm as I turned to look at her, trying to keep my cool.

"Where have you been?"

"I already told you"

"Don't lie to me" she warned and I rolled my eyes at her.

"I went to the woods with Christine. What? I can't spend some time with nature?" I asked in a pissed tone

She sighed, placing her hand on her head as she looked at me in exhaustion. "You should have told me. I was worried sick" she said with softened eyes. I immediately felt guilty for being mean to her.

"Yeah I know"

"And don't leave Cosmos hanging next time," she warned me. "If you don't want him picking you up from school, give him a head's up. Okay?"

"Fine," I said, amidst a groan as I pushed the door open. Just when I thought I had gone past this stage in life. Boom! I was taken right back.

She danced with me in her hands until it became awkward. It was my supposed sister Madison. She went crazy when she saw me, but I didn't feel the same because I had never met her in my life. As she hugged me, she kept throwing kisses on my cheeks like a little kid, making me feel worse.

"Oh God, I missed you so much," Madison said accompanied by a whimper. I hadn't even realized she had been crying. "I thought you were going to be gone forever. I'm so sorry I didn't take you to the party myself. I'm so sorry for pushing you away. It's never going to happen again" she broke the hug and held me arm's length away from her with a smile not leaving her face.

I didn't know what else to do, so I smiled back. I had no idea what she was talking about. I just stood there, staring at the strangers in front of me.

My dad; Javier Williams. My sister; Madison Hendrix and her husband Terry Hendrix. I had hugged every single one of them to the extent that my hands hurt. I didn't know if I should smile at them or if I should stand and let nature do its work.

What was more weary was the fact that I had to have dinner with all of them. Rebecca was the carrier of that bad news. What if they notice the difference between me and Mirabel? I knew we were different, obviously and they might be quick to point that out.

Everything about my sister, elicited perfection, ranging from her smile, down to the expensive cologne she had on. When I looked at my dad, I realized where we all got our good looks from. He was like a movie star. So perfect that I felt inferior. Everybody around me was so perfect that I suddenly felt small even though my new body was just as good as any of them.

                           ****

"That's good, but unnecessary" Christine said with a frown on her face. 

"Taking advanced classes isn't unnecessary" I backed myself up. It couldn't be unnecessary when I had an aim to achieve. I needed to get closer to Austin and to do that, I needed to attend his classes.

"It's going to be hella hectic for you"

"I'm not complaining" how could I complain when I was going to be taking the same class with the love of my life?

"But .. " she was cut short by someone who screamed my name from behind us.

"Hey, Mirabel!!! " I turned to see who it was and my heart dropped.

Phoebe had a smile on her face while I had an apparent glare on my face which I didn't try to hide. She was the girl who made my life hell in high school. One of those werewolves who felt hybrids were inferior. 

My rage doubled as the memories came flooding back.

****Flashback*****

"Don't let the witch touch me!" Phoebe pushed me away to another person who tossed me to the floor.

I looked around in terror at the four of them who surrounded me. There was no escaping for me. Even though I tried to run, they were surely going to catch up with me because they were werewolves and I wasn't completely one.

"Oh look she is crying" one of the girls pointed a camera at my face, giggling.

My clothes had been ripped, my face had been colored with markers and my hair was messy. I was only lucky they didn't cut it off this time.

"I thought witches don't cry," the third girl mocked.

"To think Austin wastes his time on a filthy thing like you. I bet she charmed him. There is no way they can be mates" Phoebe said and the rest giggled.

"That's what witches do; manipulate"

"So disgusting, "Phoebe said with a scowl on her face.

"Let's get her completely naked and let her walk back to her pack house that way"

"No no no!!!! Please" I begged, even though I knew my begging was going to be to no avail. Katrina trembled inside me. She wanted to protect me, but she knew she wasn't as strong as any of their wolves.

One of them smacked me on the face and pushed me to the floor. I scratched my elbow, but none of them cared. "Don't say a word, you witch" she scowled at me.

One of them kicked me on my stomach, causing me to crouch in pain. Phoebe handed her phone to one of the girls and bent to my level to rip my clothes off. She had already torn the first sleeve of my dress when she suddenly stopped.

"Someone's coming" she announced and in a twinkle of an eye, all of them disappeared.

I also didn't wait for the person to get to where I was. I also ran away because I knew if it was a werewolf, they were going to smell the witch aura in me and probably spit on me in disgust. I was used to that treatment. 

***Back to reality***

She tried to hug me, but I was too broken to return it. "My mum told me you were finally awake and I was so happy I couldn't breathe. It's good to have you back. My family went on a trip, that's why I couldn't visit sooner" she smiled as she stepped away from me.

I didn't know what to say or do. I didn't know if I should act as Mirabel or Kira. Mirabel would be happy to see her, but Kira would be at the corner, trembling in fear.

No, I didn't want to be any of them. I was going to make her pay for what she did to me. With the way she looked at me, it was obvious she envied me a lot and would probably kiss my feet if I wanted her to. This was exactly the kind of situation I prayed for to punish all my bullies in high school. Even though Kira didn't exist in this world, I was still going to make her life a living hell. 

"Oh my God," I furrowed my eyebrows in disgust. "What cologne is that?"

"Macy's secret" she smiled nervously.

"I hate it". I blurted out, not caring how she felt.

"You do?" she still had that nervous smile on her face. "I can get rid of it if you want"

"Yes please do" Then I smiled at her. A fake smile. The idea was to be her friend but make me feel way worse than I did when she bullied me all those times.

She had been an Alpha's daughter. I was certain she was still one. Her father was the Alpha of one most powerful pack; Crescent pack. That allowed her to carry her shoulders around the school. She occasionally rubbed her father's status on the weak ones; Like me, making us feel bad about ourselves. I couldn't challenge her because I knew that one word and I would be out of school. Her father was very powerful.

"Hey watch it you psycho!" she shouted at a girl who mistakenly bumped into her. The girl muttered a sorry and left.

My instincts were right, she was still the same Phoebe in my past life and I was going to make her pay for being unbearable. That was Mirabel talking, not Kira. Kira was dead and buried. It was time to make things right with my new body.
