When I got to the station my heart was racing, I had blown my cover and now someone who I deeply loved hated me, all because I tried robbing the richest bank in the area. Who was I kidding when I made that plan anyway? I mean, that was probably the stupidest thing I have ever done, and now I was in a jail cell. If I escaped, Lex would never see me again. I would have to take form of a new person and I would never be able to tell him the truth. Now I sat on the floor of my jail cell thinking of a way out, though I kind of deserved to be in for it. There wasn't going to be a trial for me, I was due for 2 years. I didn't want to sit here doing nothing forever so I let my brain start thinking. As much as I tried to stop it from happening, Lex's horrified face kept popping into my head until I started to cry.
"We all get caught eventually honey, don't be crying or everyone will beat up on ya" I heard a woman's voice say from the other side of the hall I looked over there to see a beautiful looking woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, she was wearing a blue jail uniform and looked like she had been here for years.
I sighed "So what are you in for?" I asked quietly
She smiled "I man slaughtered a guy, but they decided it was on purpose so… that's why I'm in here for life"
I shuddered but nodded anyway, now I really needed to get out of here. Who wanted to hang out with a killer who claimed she killed someone by 'accident'? I shuddered once again before getting on my horrible excuse for a bed. I stared at the ceiling and got to thinking again. This time Lex was out of my brain and Millie was in. What would she think of me now? Would she hate me as much as Lex? Well, I sure hope not, but she probably was just as much betrayed as Lex. I could have easily stopped myself if I had waited till Saturday. Lex would have told me he loved me and I wouldn't have robbed the bank.
Just then a guard walked by and I poked him a bit before he looked at me "When's lunch?" I asked. The guard just shook his head and when he did I grabbed him by the collar and hit his head to the bars, knocking him out with a loud noise. Quickly and quietly I took the keys from his pocket and got out, I then turned into him and continued walking, I was walking and saw a guard I waved and he smiled. When I finally got out of the building the alarm went off. I knew they had noticed my escape, so I ran down the street. It was still raining and my hair got more wet than ever, I ran down the street and people, thinking I was police officer, let me go by.
Soon I reached an abandoned alley and took a deep breathe; I had to find a computer and fast. Still the officer, I ran to a near by Best Buy and showed the badge I had also taken from the guard.
"I need to use your computer right now"
"Sure thing sir" the manager said, leading me to the back of the room and letting me stay in the room alone "I'll tell them not to bother you" the man said, and closed the door behind him. I sighed and went on Google.
I typed in girls with blonde hair and blue eyes into Google Images. A couple pictures popped up and I printed two out, one was wearing a red shirt that clung only to her shoulders and cammo pants that showed her belly button, the other picture showed a well dressed girl with her blonde hair up in a bun, her clothes were a black shirt matched with a white lace sweater and black kapris. I ran outside and when I was alone I turned into the better dressed girl and decided that my last name would now be Rivers. Des Rivers was now my name. I ran across the road to see police officers throwing people out of their way and running down the street. I stepped out of the way and let them pass before running in the other direction. Soon I saw that the girl across from me had managed to escape and Lex wasn't letting her get away. I frowned and ran in that direction, I wasn't as fast as I had hoped and the girl was raising her knife to kill Lex. I ran faster when that happened and grabbed him before pushing us both out of the way, making her fall to the ground with a gasp of astonishment. Lex looked at me strangely when I said "Lex are you O.K?"
"Who are you?" he asked
I then remembered I had changed into a different girl. I frowned and slowly changed into the Des he knew. Before he could be astonished I kissed him hard on the lips. When he didn't do anything but lay there with eyes open with shock. I pulled back.
"I'm a shape…"I was cut off when he pulled me to where he was on the ground and kissed me back. I sighed and slowly and reluctantly we released each other.
"I thought you hated me" I said while helping him up.
He smiled a little "I said I thought I couldn't be in love with a criminal, but I realize now, I always was. You were a criminal changing form even before I met you, escaping and running away so many times. It means I've always seen you and when I started to like you were a criminal then too."
I sighed "What am I going to do? I can't go to school as normal Des, and Millie can't know about this, but we have bonded so close already." I said with a frown.
Lex laughed "you escaped prison the day you were put in right? I'm pretty sure that you won't appear in the news, did they take your picture" he asked
I nodded "yeah they did, I'll be all over the news tomorrow, and I can't just show up to school and be your girlfriend!"
Lex sighed, "what if we steal the photos?" he asked
I ended up slapping him "if you get caught then you'll get into jail along with me!" I quickly reminded myself I was Des Mace and changed back into Des Rivers. Suddenly I felt a poke in my back and turned around shocked, did the old man standing in front of me just see me transform? Crap. I thought in my head
"Don't say that word young lady" he said like he had read my mind
"Did you just read my mind?" I asked
"Yes, and if you would like I can open a portal to your mind and you might just be able to find your true form"
Lex looked confused "true form?"
I looked at Lex "I've always changed my appearance. So much so that I've forgotten what I genetically look like, what I was like when I was born. I've always wanted to know but I could never remember" I turned back to the old bearded man. "If it's really possible please let me in. I need to figure it out, if I can I might never do a crime again, that's all I've ever wanted I swear to stop, just let me in!"
I shouted. When the man nodded a giant purple portal appeared in front of me. It was only then when I noticed that the street had been deserted. I was about to walk in when I felt someone grab me "I'm going" I heard Lex say
I was going to argue but before I could I heard him say "I'm going no matter what you say" I sighed and grabbed his hand pulling him in with me
Soon we hit hard pavement and I looked around. So this was my mind? I was apparently in the part of my mind that had all of my forms. I noticed that Lex was looking around
"I'm pretty sure my True Form will be harder to get to than this" I told him
He smiled "oh I know I was just looking" he came up to me and smiled, lets get moving, if we don't get there fast it will get more and more buried in your mind"
I smiled and nodded before walking on, my mind was full of different things, at one point we ran into some strange creature. I stopped and while it approached me it opened it mouth and I realized it had razor sharp teeth, it was coming straight at me and I didn't have a weapon!
Suddenly there was a weird sound and the monster lay dead on the floor. Standing behind it with a bloodied sword was Alice. She seemed kind of annoyed when she walked up to us
"Be more careful Des." She said with a laugh
I frowned "Alice, this is Lex, he's my. Friend" I said weakly
Alice smiled, "but in your head, you've already kissed" she smiled and I growled at her.
"Thanks for saving us, but it would be nice if we had our own weapons" Lex said suddenly.
Alice smiled, "certainly but first I have to tell you something. My father has entered your mind Des, you must defeat him or he'll take over."
I sighed "Who exactly is your father, Alice?"
She frowned " a horrible and powerful man. He's Satan, Des"
As shocked as I was, it explained about the red eyes and the horns, so I believed her. I sighed "now as for the weapons"
She smiled and suddenly there was a glow in me and Lex's hands. When the glow faded I was holding a metal whip and Lex was holding a red hilted sword.
"Thanks" I said with a smile. "But, before we move on can I ask you something?"
She sat down slowly and a chair suddenly appeared beneath her "shoot."
I took in a deep breathe, and held Lex's hand "why is it that in all my dreams I have no mouth and cant speak?" I asked. I heard Alice sigh and then she explained…
