Ring Ring! Ring Ring! Went the telephone.
The girl just laid on the bed lost in her thoughts. She was nervous.
"What if I don't make the job?"
"Will I go back to working at the café?"
These thoughts rushed through her mind.
Then alas, it rang again and she sprung from the bed to answer the call.
After the conversation was over, she toppled on the bed and cried her eyes out. She didn't get the job.
'I did everything right but I didn't get it. The fucking job I knew!' She lashed out and headed to the bathroom.
She freshened up and was gonna have some words with the interviewer. Just as she was walking out of the apartment, a car pulled over. But this wasn't just any car but a Bugatti Divo.
The girl rolled her eyes. "Lenny, is that you?"
Lenny lowered the window and said,"it me alright. This is a Bugatti Divo. Bet you've never seen one before."
"Oh please, a very expensive and rare car you bought with your parents money. You'll never be anything on your own."
Lenny came from old money and spent recklessly on stuff he didn't need just to impress girls. He didn't worry about getting a job because to him he didn't need it.
"You've been using the internet."
The girl's face turned as pale as a ghost. She'd just barely started using the internet.
"Why are shocked by my question or do you still think the internet will turn the world into a mindless place?." No answer. Neo, Neo Soul!
Ah! She let out a faint scream and got back to reality. She hadn't been addressed as Neo Soul in a long time. Either Neo or Miss Soul. She sighed as replied, 'I don't got time for chit chat. You can drive a Divo or Camaro, I don't give a fuck', she said as she flipped the bird and walked off.
"Lenny is obsessed. I'm not all that. He can get a blue eyed, blonde girl not me." Neo Soul loved to downplay her beauty but she knew how beautiful she was. She never wore makeup ever and was accused of wearing heavy makeup at work. Some guy even left his model wife just for her.
Neo Soul was a light brown complexion girl with pentagonoidvault, more rounded forehead contour, and a small and less
prognathic face. People swore she was part Asian but she thought she had more in common with the Khoisans than any Asian.
She commonly put her hair in cornrows and loved to switch her style to whatever was in season to blend in with American folks.
When she got to the hotel, she was met with hostility from the receptionist.
"You came back?"
"Yeah, where's your boss?"
"He gave the job to a more competent person."
Neo Soul went off at hearing the words "more competent". "The fuck, no one is more competent than me."
"No foul languages allowed here. And what makes you think you're the best in the world." She said with a smirk.
Neo Soul backed down but she knew she wasn't bragging about being competent but she realized she'd decided to forget her past and couldn't let it come back. She was a mindshifter not is a mindshifter.
All Neo Soul wanted was a normal life but she'd sacrificed all her powers just for it. Someone might find it to be a joke or unbelievable but it's true.
She stepped out of the hotel and knew she wasn't coming back. She made up her mind to get much better job than a hotel manager. She had a love for cooking and decided that's what she wanted now; to be a renowned chef and not a mindshifter. She had connections and wasn't gonna lose this time.
When she got home, she dossed off and later woke up in a dark room.
"The hell am I doing here!"
'Oh so you're awake, she look like angel when you are sleeping, can't say the same after knowing you are a heartless murderer'. The man said.
His face was covered, so she couldn't even tell who it could be. She was a mercenary for most of her life. It could be anyone behind the mask.
"Are y'all gonna kill me because of your brother's death? I bet he deserved it!"
"Bitch got attitude", one of the guys said.
"How can you tell it's more than one of us in the dark?" The only girl in the group asked.
'She's a basic ass mindshifter. Nothing to see here. My brother just wasted his time on a pussy who don't give a fuck about anyone but herself. Vanity', the first guy said.
Vanity! She knew who she was with, Aidan.
She regretted saying his brother should have died. She loved his brother, Kylar but she knew he was going to die, she just lied to herself as usual. Aidan wasn't Kylar's blood brother but a stepbrother. He always referred to her as Vanity for two reasons: her beauty which was being discussed by all the guards which he termed as meaningless and dead eyes to also point out her lack of personality.
"Oh that face. You seem to remember me now", Aidan said.
'You go hard for a step brother who never cared about your existence. Aidan, you were just a lapdog; he never had your interests are heart', Neo Soul said.
Neo was a cunning girl who was determined everything went her way. This included lying.
He shook his head. "For a guy you claimed you loved, you really lied he said something like that."
"No but you believed." She immediately cut the ropes and launched forward to his direction and stepped on his face. This was in of her powers: sensorimotor synchrony. She had a body that matched the speed of her mind. As she was running, she slammed into a door in the dark.
She shut down for a second but got up and said to herself, "been a while since I used this. Never gonna use this shit again". She started running again but the time she got to the door, she found out she was at sea.
"The hell".
'That's right cutie. You thought it would be that easy', said a male archer an the top.
"Oh you don't know the mood I'm in. Look at my face, I could have killed someone!" Neo Soul responded in an aggressive tone. She caused thunder to strike the archer. He dodged the first time but the second time he was struck.
The girl whose name was Soae (pronounced So-A) rushed to meet her. "Don't kill the archers; they've got a life bitch!"
Neo Soul calmed down and asked, "if you couldn't handle the thorns, why go for the rose?"
' You really are annoying. Someone must have not whooped your ass!' Soae said in an angry tone.
But Neo Soul couldn't care less about what Soae said but she knew she had to calm down. "Calm down Neo. Deep breaths." She became relieved. "What do you want me to do?"
"Follow me", Soae said.
Neo Soul knew accepting this offer ment going back to the life she wished had never happened. All she wanted to be was a normal girl.
This is the story of Neo Soul, the greatest mindshifter that ever lived.
