UNA BLUE - E.S. (english readers .TXT) 📗

I looked up and saw my face on the billboard for Tomorrow Today. My green eyes staring at the viewer and my long curly red hair messy and in my face. That’s when I had the easy life. That was one of my first gigs, one of my first shootings. That’s when I turned into some thing else, I call myself a fish, which is true, well half true, I turned into a mermaid. Now I’m on the run. From every one. Let me tell you what happened first of all. Short form.

One day I walked home, when I got there, there was police every where, they didn’t look like normal police either, yet I still can’t place them. I saw them and ran, they chased after me but I got into my room first and locked the door. It would old them a couple seconds at least. I took out the false ceiling in my room, my mother always wanted every exit every way I thought she was crazy, yet now I really loved her. I climbed up and hid, now of course what’s the use of being in the ceiling when you have no way out. My mother had thought of that too, there was a door on the roof, I crawled over and lifted myself up, the sun came and I ran, I jumped off the roof in a moments fear, it was a horrible thing to do, unbearable pain came shooting threw my leg. I kept on running. I knew exactly where to go too. my house was near the water, and a bit farther out in the water was a cave, a secret cave. It sounds silly, or some thing that a super hero should have, but to m it was just some where to rest and get away from all the worlds terror. I jumped into the water and began to swim. As I grew up I had always been a amazing swimmer, I had never used it for races or meets, the only person who knew my record was me. I swam as fast as I could. Until I bumped into a rock underneath the water, I found the entrance and sawn in. My father had found the cave, and some how made sure that no water could get into it, he was a very smart man. I fell several feet into a pond of water, that my father told us never to drink, and went to shore. I layed on the ground, more rock, and rested my legs in the water. I looked down at my hurting leg, the left one, it was shattered, my mother was a doctor and taught me every thing she knew. I ripped up my shirt and made a bandage around my leg. I had been to afraid to come out of the cave so I lied there. Soon I was thirsty and I knew my father said I could not, but I thought it was just lake water, couldn’t hurt. my father wasn’t there, he would not have known, I took a drink. Went to sleep. And the next morning BAM! I was a mermaid. Later on I found out that I could turn my tail to legs, and my legs to tail, when I touched water or land. It was a gift and a curse.

Now I have long straight blond hair, and go by the name Una Blue. You would think that people would still know it’s me, but my former person Lexi Kenny died from drowning in the sea. No one expects to see me around any more. I have my modeling career, I thought of giving up, but I need money to pay for food, clothes, and every thing. My mother thinks I dead, and my father died before I turned 9. The only people still looking for me were the police.

I was heading to a new shooting. My second one for Tomorrow Today, but UNA BLUE’s first one. I walked into the building like I was every thing and I knew it. I didn’t wait for the designer, she waited for me. She was sitting at a desk, but got up and rushed towards me, “UNA BLUE! thank you for coming”, she said with a giant smile, “you welcome, where shall we start?”, I asked wanting to get down to business. She led me to the changing room, I already told her I did not like having make up on, so I didn’t get it put on. Easy as that. The first dress was a little dress with see through purple, then see through pink, the last layer was a pattern of black and white tiger stripes. I did a couple poses then put on a new dress. It was a floral design and made more poses. This pattern went on for a hour, then I was free to go with my wade of cash. The secret is, if you look and act more famous, you’ll be more famous.

I got dinner and went home, which was in fact my cave. I find it amusing that the cops never even found out where I have been hiding all this time, it was so close to my house, of course the first thought of where some one would be hiding is not a under water cave. I didn’t really have any thing to do, usually I was go try to catch some fish or some thing, but I already had human food, which I liked more than fish, so I swim up and out of the water and went to see what my mom and little sister were doing. It sounds stalker-ish, but some times I really missed them, and when I wasn’t busy, why not? I wanted to see how they were doing. My little sister was now 15 and I could hear her complaining that she couldn’t get a belly ring, I watched from a window, “why not? Lexi had one”, Lilly said, my mother had her arms crossed “yes, but Lexi was 16 your 15", she said, Lilly made a snorting noise than stomped upstairs. She usually wasn’t like this, Lilly I mean, she usually was a talkative, but calm person, she hardly ever asked mother for much, and never “ughed” and walked away. Like me she had captivating green eyes, but she didn’t have the curly red hair, she had long blond hair, Like I had now. She was looking to be a model like UNA BLUE, because they looked so much alike. The thing about me is that when I am in the water with a tail, my red hair come back, out I have blond. I have to watch it when I’m swimming. I climbed a tree to see what Lilly was doing, I saw her she was on her phone like she usually is, talking to her friend “yeah I know, I’m getting ready now”,
“I know it’s going to be the best, all the stars are gonna be there”
“yeah I know where it is, it’s at the La Magnifique”,
“ten o’clock”, Lilly said. of course I knew what and where she was talking about, La Magnifigue was for the stars, it was the thing, the place, if you didn’t go there you were a nobody, it threw the best parties. I get invited there a lot, I always decline, but today I might just go.

I took a taxi to a fancy dress place I can’t spell. When I got there the owner gave me a huge bear hug and said I could use any dress I’d like, for free. I walked around then asked the owner for her best most expensive dress, and that I would pay. She brought me to a dress she had been working on for a month. It was white, strapless and had diamonds covering all of it, it was just a tiny bit on the short side, I tried it on, and it would be perfect. I didn’t pay, but instead I would model for her store for free. “Thank you!”, I shouted as I closed the door. I was wearing the dress and had my clothes I was wearing before in my hand. That was a no name store, but that’s what I did, make the nameless stores into big logo designs, soon every one will be shopping there.

I got to the club at 10:35 and walked to the front of the line, people gawked, camera lights were flashing, I was a hit. The body guard let me in with out asking my names or ID, we both knew I was younger than I should be. I walked in and pink, purple, yellow, and orange lights hit off the diamonds of my dress. I had no idea of dancing, that’s not what I came here for. I looked around the room and found who I was looking for, Lilly. I walked past her booth, she was there with one blond bombshell friend. Lilly and the girl whispered to each other “oh my god! UNA BLUE! she’s here! wait till every body hears about this!”, I looked back at Lilly, she was wearing to much make up for my liking, but I was her sister, she looked beautiful, still. I sent a smile their way and they gasped. This will be fun. I walked over and sat right next to Lilly, she was smiling like a buffoon. “Hi girls, I just had to say how much I love your dresses”, I said, the two giggled like little girls that had way to much cotton candy, “thank you”, they both said, “I love your dress it’s so pretty!”, Lilly gushed, I flashed a award winning smile “you do? You can have it if you want, I’ll only wear it once, besides it would look better on you”, that’s who I bought it for. Lilly looked like she was going to die of happiness. “Oh, I couldn’t take it from you, that’s not right”, she said, “oh it’s ok, I want you to have it, I already got the pictures in it”, I said, “T-thank you”, she stuttered. I took her hand “come on, let’s switch”, I said, then lead her to the bathroom, I got a good look at the dress she was wearing and I swear I almost cried, it was my grade 10 prom dress, “that’s a beautiful dress”, I said, “I know, I wore it to prom, it was my sisters”, she said looking at it. I took the diamond dress off and switched into my clothes, “isn’t your sister Lexi Kenny?”, I asked, Lilly looked surprised, but I could see she was hiding her sadness “yeah, but she passed”, Lilly looked at the floor, “she was my role model, amazing model, she was”, I said, Lilly looked up “I
