Being with Qilena washed all of the fear away, and I found myself constantly smiling. I tried my hardest to conceal my yellowish teeth while making small talk with her, but other than that I felt comfortable around here. I can really see why Lucan has a fondness of her and I question why she isn't the bride to be. Anyone but Evzilla.

When the ship finally arrived, I was taken away by the beauty of Piscatus. It was like it's own little world, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living in District Four (not that I had experienced a lot of it, as I confined myself to the house most of the time). It's covered with trees, not unlike the forests I've seen while watching the television. The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore like an army attempting to break through a barrier, but with no success.

"Excuse me, please." I say to Qilena, before making my way through the crowd to the bathroom. My bag is slung across my shoulder, and I grip it tightly to prevent it from being stolen. When I arrive, I instinctively lock the door behind me and plop the bag to the ground. Unzipping it, I find flashlights in clothes entangled into a huge mess. I took the liberty in counting them, and sighed when I found all eight of them.

I pulled out a yellow, flowery top and a pair of jeans, unzipping my dress and throwing them on.I pulled my hair out of the bun and straightened it as best as I could with my hands. I slipped off the high heels and put on some flip flops, completing the transformation by cleaning off my face with a makeup towel. I felt a lot better, as being pretty comes at such a high cost. I'd much rather dress like I am right now.

I lazily throw the dress and shoes into the bag before zipping it up and heading out. I jogged over to wear Qilena and I stood, but frowned when I saw she was no longer there. I shrugged, and walked to the destination I had hoped I would go to with Qilena but must now settle for myself; the beach. I'd have to invite Qilena some other time, but for now I'm alone.

Like I will be for the rest of my life.
