We entered the salon and a lady welcomed us immediately we floated in.
"Hey...back so soon,Cory"
"Yeah,she wants a makeover",Cora said and pointed to me.
"Hi there,you look so cute"
"Thanks",I said and smiled.
"Okay so do you want,a 'cute and dangerous' look or 'pure danger' like Cory?",she said.
Cora immediately replied "Cute and dangerous".
"Uhm...excuse us",I said and dragged Cora to a corner.
"What is she talking about and who will pay for the makeover?,and how is this gonna help us to find Wanda and escape from here without being searched for and since people think you're dead won't she expose you?",I said and glanced at the lady.
"Relax,she won't... here in the sea,Cory is not the same as Cora and more than two people have the same name so it's no big deal"
I folded my arms and looked at her,"Really,so she didn't see you with red hair before you dyed it?".
"She did but she probably thinks I dyed it red permanently"
"Okay then let's get a makeover. Whoo!"
"Yeah!",Cora screamed in agreement.
"Wait what about the money?...I left my money in the car",I said.
"It's on Lord Gilliam"
"What?!"
"We'll be gone before he finds out,he might not even find out...I lived in the castle remember? ,so he gave me the special card that can pay for anything and it doesn't expire!"
"Isn't that a credit card?"
"Yeah...whatever you call it"
"Let's go get you that makeover!"
"Okay...but I'm worried and is it necessary?, I'm not really enthusiastic about it anymore"
"Ugh...come here",Cora said and dragged me.
"Hey Bella, she's ready...to look cute and dangerous!",Cora yelled not minding the attention she was getting.
"Okay, follow me cutie"
We disappeared behind a curtain.
In the Emerald castle...
"Go get her and bring her here now!",Lord Gilliam said.
"Yes sir",the guard said and bowed.
"Tell her to come pick up her piece of junk and tell me how my son is doing!",he blared at another guard.
"Yes,my lord",the guard said.He bowed and left.
The king was pacing in the palace and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.He looked down at the body on the floor and kicked it in anger.
"Argh!,I should have known...she is so careless when it comes to planning and now,making ordinary c...",the king was interrupted by a groan.
"Ouch!...what happened?",Olly said and looked up at the ceiling that was made of glass,then he turned towards his left and then his right.
The king was done with all these failures,he was done with her and this stupid thing right here. He(the king) unleashed the wild part of him though no one else knew about it and they weren't supposed to know,he couldn't help it.He was so angry and he let the beast in him out.
Slash!
Olly's head rolled on the floor,a green carpet was on the floor and pretty soon,it turned red.
The king looked at the detached head and body and called his personal bodyguard and most trusted guard."Pack it up! and when Omnia gets here give it to her".The soldier was the only one who knew about the beastly form of the king so he wasn't surprised,neither about the body nor it's terrifying look."Yes,my lord".
"No more clones!,I'm done with her dumb plans...I want peace,I guess my son was right after all ,peace is the greatest power of all...I'll get him back and put an end to this nonsense!".
He walked into his chamber and slammed the door shut.
In the salon...
"You can look now,Miss Dangerously cute.",Bella said.
"Oh,Bella", I said and rolled my eyes. I turned and what I saw in the mirror shocked me. I was the carbon copy of the little girl in the painting except that I was older.
"You're welcome",Bella said and smiled at me when she saw how I became speechless upon seeing my own image.
"Wow,Bella I'm so surprised...I don't...I can't... You're awesome!!!",I said and hugged her out of excitement.
"You even dyed it dark purple here...my favorite color",I said and touched the few purple strands.
"I just thought it'd suit you and I was right".
"Hey!,how come I'm not getting any credit,come on!",Cora said and faked a frown.
"Okay,okay,thanks...for bringing me here and paying",I said.
"No problem"
We thanked Bella and left.
"Cora..."
"Yeah?"
"Can I get a headphone?"
"Course you can!"
"It's right this way"
We floated towards a shop that said 'GREEN ENERGY' and had a logo of a seahorse in front of it...with wires connected to it.
"Oouh...cool",I said.
"Hey, Whirly",Cora said and waved at a guy with glowing green hair.
"Hi Cory,you got a new friend!.",he waved and floated towards us.
"Hey cutie".I smiled and said "Hi"
"I love your hair,it's so dark and your look...you look so cute and harmless yet very dangerous".
"Thanks...but your hair is glowing so whose hair is better?",I replied,and tried to pass a compliment.
"He brushed his hand through it and said,"Hehe... it's all thanks to my self-made hair cream , mixture of emerald pieces and kelp leaves with a touch of...",he stopped and covered his mouth."oops...can't expose the secret to my perfect hair especially not in front of her",he said jokingly and eyed Cora.
"Haha...my hair's perfect too but I'll just need those secret ingredients to make it extra-perfect",she said and rubbed her palms together. "Nope, never!".
"I'll get it one day...you'll see"
"I'll wait",Whirly said and they both laughed.
"My babe here wants a headphone"
"Ooh...I got the perfect one for you,dc,follow me".
Whirly floated away from us and I slowed down and turned to Cora.
"Dc?!"
"Hehe...you earned yourself a nickname from Whirly"
I rolled my eyes and we floated towards him and followed him.
"So here are the best headphones in the whole of Emerald Kingdom",Whirly said and pointed to the cool looking set of headphones each placed in a beautiful glass case.
"Woah..."
"Yeah,woah!",Cora said.
"Choose the one you like",Cora said and nudged me.
"Okay",I said and floated towards them. I floated past the headphones and stopped in front of the seventh one. It was perfect!
"I'll take this one."
It was dark purple and black the perfect headphone that matched my hair. As though she read my mind.
"We have to get you a cool dress to go with all these!",Cora said.
"Exactly!",Whirly added.
"I'll pack it up for you... excuse me",Olly said and floated out of the room taking the headphone along with him in it's glass case.
I faced Cora and hugged her tightly.
"I love you",I said still hugging her tightly.
"Can't...breathe",Cora managed to whisper.
"Oh sorry",I said and released her from my dangerous grip.
"That's okay...but make sure not to hold longer next time"
"I won't ",I said and laughed.
"Here it is!",Whirly announced and presented the pretty headphones in a transparent bag.
"Is everything here made of glass?",I asked amused.
"Yeah...except some few things...",Whirly said and shrugged.
"Wow", I said and collected the bag from him.
"Thanks Whirly",Cora said.
"Thanks",I said.
"You're welcome,dc",Whirly replied and bowed.
"dc?"
"Yeah, dangerous cutie",Whirly said and shook his head.
"Haha...Come on you guys is it so obvious?"
"It's called a makeover...what do you expect?!",Cora exclaimed.
"Deal with it,girl... you're a dangerous cutie now!"
"Bye",Whirly said.
"Buh-bye",Cora replied.
"Thanks for the cool headphones once again, bye",I said and waved.
We floated away and I thought I heard Whirly say something but he didn't repeat it so we floated away.
"Eh,she'll see it later... she's so dangerously cute!",Whirly said and smiled before turning back towards the shop and he froze.
"Uh...w-what a surprise!The king's guards at my place...I w-wonder what you came t-to buy",Whirly stammered.
"Where is she?",the guard growled.
"W-who's that again?...",He stammered and stepped back cautiously,he was so scared.
"The girl!...Dark natural hair,purple aura, princess?",the guard yelled.
