and beautiful face. As Holly was looking at herself she saw a small note on the side of the
mirror. This pendant is my other gift to you. When she left her room everyone looked at
her like a pop star. No one could believe that this girl used to be an ugly and sad teenager.
She became the center of attention for months.

As she was in art class crafting a backdrop for the school’s play.There were rocks on the
bottom of the stage to hide the supports. Suddenly a kid bumped into her and she fell off the
second floor of the stage and hit her head on the rocks. The boy that bumped into Holly
helped her up to make sure she was ok. But when the boy looked at her, a blood curdling
scream filled the room. Holly quickly ran to the bathroom to make sure that she was ok. She
ran into the restroom and saw not only her face but parts of her that are slowly glitching out.
Like a glitching image she slowly starts to transform. Her face had what looked like a giant
dent in her skull, mixed with bloody parts that should not be there. Her mouth was both cut
vertically and horizontal exposing the bloody interior of her jaw held by two small metal rods.
Her body turned oily black with several rods protruding from her back. Some parts of her
arms and legs were sliced cleanly mixed in with robotic parts to hold it together. She looked
down and she realized that the pendant was missing.

Suddenly Holly felt like she was underwater struggling to breathe. The life from her body
was slowly fading from her as her robotic body fell to the floor in a bloody mess. She then
saw that the pendant was just outside the restroom. She tried to crawl for it, slowly inching
her way. Then a metallic hand grabbed the pendant and put it on her neck. Vanessa then
looked down at the remains, “I made your wish come true, Holly…and in return…”.Vanessa
laughed, she shook and shook…her body slowly transformed into a splitting image of Holly.
“Well you made my wish come true.” Those were the last words Holly heard before fading
into black. She didn’t want things she wanted to be beautiful.
