The group waved to me as I walked off. Cassi had given me their cell numbers

 so we could stay in contact. Looking around it was very apparent to me that 

I stuck out like a sore thumb. There had to be some kind of make-up shop

 near here I hoped. As I walked it was nice to see the people of this country.

 Everyone was just busy with their lives trying to make a living. It made me 

feel happy to just have this breather. When I finally found a store the woman

 wouldn’t stop staring at me. She smiled as I paid for a bag full of make-up. 

We all knew I hated this stuff but sadly I could use it if needed. My next stop 

was a small store that allowed the public to use the restroom. Once in I 

dumped the bag of make-up into the sink. This was going to be a pain in the 

ass but I needed to blend in with people.

It takes me about half an hour to make the scales disappear. This had to be 

one of the longest times I’ve spent in a restroom. When coming out the 

owner looked at me weird but didn’t say a word. At this moment I was kind of

 grateful to my bitch of a mother. She forced me to learn how to do my make-

up when I was younger even though most of it had been forgotten. The 

bustling streets were filled with all sorts of delicious smells. My stomach 

started to growl even though I’d eaten on the ship. Letting out a sigh I just 

kept walking till reaching a tour group. Everyone looked excited to go on a 

safari tour. The tour guide walked over smiling to everyone.

 “Okay, everyone if you will please gather up? We shall be leaving shortly. 

Remember to not leave the vehicle at any time. If you need anything please

 tell your tour guide immediately?” 

The guides were all very professional in my opinion.

No one seemed to notice that I wasn’t a paying customer. Who was I to argue

  at this moment. One of the young girls grabbed my hand pulling me to sit

 next to her. I raised a brow looking at her a little confused. She gave a small

 smile then pointed to a guy who was trying to sit next to her. 

“My name is Kiki. Sorry about that but as you can see that guy was trying

 to force his way to sit with me.”

 I guess this would be a good spot to try being a pervert. Letting out a sigh I

 look to the man with a smile. He glared at me which had me laugh out loud. 

“Seems he doesn’t like me Kiki. My name is Teresa by the way.”

 She shook my hand laughing along with me. We got silent as the tour guide

 started to talk. Over the next hour we looked to all the animals the guide 

pointed out. This was truly a stunning country. After several hours the tour

 guide brought us to another city.

 “Hey, Kiki I’m going to head out now. It was super nice spending time.”

 Kiki had a sad look for a moment then smiled.

 “Thank you again for saving me back there. I hope your travels are good.”

 I give her a smile back waving while walking away.

The city was a lot more quiet then the last one. As walking my mind drifted to

 all the people who I’ve met along this journey. Each person had a special

 place in my heart. I wondered if Jacoby had hurt Jerra for pushing me on the

 balcony. Either way right now wasn’t the time or place to dwindle on this 

subject. It was getting late which meant I needed a place to stay. Kevin had

 given me money without anyone knowing, I tried to give it back. One thing I

 can say for Kevin is he can be super stubborn at times. Letting out a sign I

 check the phone that was given to me for local hotels. There was one a few

 more blocks away thankfully. Walking on the streets as night neared made

 me feel uneasy. Was it because I had thought of Jacoby or was there 

something else?

Further away in the shadows was a man looking to Teresa. He smirked seeing

  how uneasy she appeared. Ignoring the feeling I went to the hotel paying for

 one night. In the back of my mind no place really felt safe. Who knew when 

someone would attack me again. Once in the room I fall back onto the bed.

 My mind wanted to go in a million directions. It was nerve wracking to think

 I’d have to live like this forever. Closing my eyes I almost wish that instead of 

turning into a hybrid that death had taken me. The man who had been

 following Teresa sneaks up to her window. He watches as she sleeps then

 jumps down.

 “Well...well...well...looks like Jacoby would love this information. To bad for

 him I can’t stand the vampiric prick.”

 He walks in the front door getting the room next to Teresa. In his room he 

places a call to a friend.

 “Hey this is Jim.”

 The person on the other end was an asshole who acted like they didn’t know

 him.

 “Look you shit head I’m Jim Shifuta. You damn well know who I am. I found

 the girl Jacoby is looking for but don’t tell anyone.”

 He hangs up the phone laughing to himself.
