I was running down the street away from the crime. Looking for somewhere to hide from the cops and my sister. I have just committed the worst crime with my three best friends in the world. We are the most wanted shapeshifters in Tokyo.
The one day it had to rain it choose today, out of all the days in the year. It had to rain on the day of my fathers funeral. Now today is more depressing now that it's raining. Then just as I turn my head I see the limo that my mom had ordered for her ride here, but she is late because of Karry [my twin sister]. I don't even know why they came. My mom and dad are divorced, plus I and my sister choose our own paths to take. She chooses to leave me alone and scared.
I put a smile on my face and hug my mother. As Karry fixes her lipstick, a guy in his early twenties comes out of the limo. I watch him as he walks over to me, takes my hand and kisses it softly. I try to pull my hand away but he is too strong. So I have to sit there until my mother walks up, she slaps his hand and leaves us.
I watch as he walks away and I think about my next body. I think about this because I can feel my body shutting down. Do I want the body of a model or of a stranger no one notices? I want to be normal but with power. Power over people powers over everyone in my way.
As the funeral continues the man watches me from afar. I feel like I know him but I'm not going to ask he looks unsteady. As if he knows what I do to survive but he shouldn’t know me at all if Karry told him I'll take her body next. I’m kidding I'm kidding we made a deal that is I really need her to she’ll get me a body I won’t take hers.
When the funeral ends we all say our goodbyes and it’ll be okays. But I need to go and find my new body. I see out of the corner of my eye the man that came with Karry came over. He introduced himself as Reese. After we talked for awhile I just walked away. I need to get a body like now. As I walk down the street I see a young lady walk out of the modeling studio.
