An Eye For An Eye

Lily watched on in deep envy as her sister younger by one year made out with her boyfriend of about two years. Even despite Lily being the eldest of the two she still couldn't hold a candle to her younger sister often times being overlooked because of her.

When it came to looks Amy resembled their mother more with her fair skin, sun kissed hair and diamond blue eyes, while on the other hand Lily inherited her fathers more rustic colored hair and eyes.

"Okay babe, see you after school okay," Amy smiled as she gave her boyfriend Declan one last kiss.

"You know it, don't forget about me beautiful," Declan said as he slowly backed away.

"Never," Amy said blowing him a kiss which he comically fumbled to catch before placing it near his heart earning a gush from Amy.

"I'm all for PDA but that was ridiculous," Lily sneered as she glared in Declan's direction.

"Jealous much, can I help it that I have such a loving boyfriend?" Amy teased.

"No but you can at least have some common courtesy for everyone else and suck each other's faces somewhere else," Lily spat.

"Ugh you can be such a troll sometimes 'Lil," Amy laughed before walking ahead to catch up with her friends.

Lily stared daggers through her sisters retreating form as she watched as the younger woman linked arms with two of her friends out of their group of six and headed into the school building together.

"Well my friends shall we also head inside?" Lily muttered to herself. Looking left to right she smirked. "Yeah I didn't think so either," She said comically laughing at the fact that she had not a single friend.

Luckily Lily was a grade ahead of Amy making it so that the two virtually had no periods together all except for homeroom and lunch. During homeroom Amy was surrounded by her posse in the back of the class while Lily sat up toward the front alone. With her nose buried in a book and her mind in a fantasy Lily focused all her attention on the passages of her romantic novel cleverly titled to disguise it's erotic nature.

"Um hey Lily, you look pretty today," Came a timid voice. glancing over she sees her fellow classmate Nate gazing back at her breathing his signature nasally breath. He smiles revealing a full set of braces that gleamed in the light. His head of unruly curly red hair stood out almost as bad as his blazing red acne.

"Thank you Nate," Lily forced a faint smile before quickly dismissing him and re-immersing herself within her book.

"So what cha reading?" Lily internally groaned knowing that Nate was in the mood for small talk.

"Nothing really important, in fact I wouldn't even say I'm reading it more like just skimming through the pages," Lily sighed as she closed the book and put it away.

"Oh yeah haha I do that sometimes with my comic books," Nate laughed giving a small snort which agitated Lily to no end.

"That's nice Nate," Lily muttered before taking out her homework and starting on it early. It frustrated her greatly that Nate could never catch a hint that his company was not wanted.

"So uh..."

"Nate, is there something you need from me?" Lily cut in causing Nate to blush in embarrassment.

"No not really I just..."

"Okay nice chat," Lily cut in once more officially dismissing him.

"Sheesh mean much 'Lil?" Amy scoffed. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Mind your business," Lily growled lowly not turning around.

"Hey, hey you two love birds better not be fighting. The only fighting you two should be doing is fighting to see who's going to be on top and who's going to be bottom," Declan said causing the entire class to break out in sniggles.

Lily's face lit up in embarrassment as she bit her nail in anger.

"Real mature jackass," Lily growled.

"Hey come on lay off her will ya? Can Lily help it that guys keep falling for her irresistable charm?" Josh a mutual friend of Declan and Amy's said causing Lily to blush.

Chancing a peek Lily glances back at him only to catch him staring back at her shooting her a playful wink. Fully embarrassed Lily faces forward without uttering a peep for the rest of the period despite what Declan and his friends whispered about her. She didn't even hear any of what Nate was saying.

~~XXX~~

Back at home Lily stood before her full sized mirror and gazed at herself. She slowly cupped her breasts and squeezed noting how small and undefined they were. Next she lifted up her stomach and frowned as she realized she had developed a rather noticable pouch. Pulling her shirt down she goes to flop down on her bed in depression.

"Amy never has this problem," Lily mumbled into her pillow bitterly.

To her shock her phone began to vibrate indicating she had received a text message.

"What in the world?" Lily muttered as she retrieved her phone and glanced at it. It was a text message from an unknown caller. It read:

???: Hey beautiful how's about you join me tomorrow night at Declan's party? I'll make it worth your while ;)

Upon reading the received text a deep blush dusted her cheeks as her mind instantly flashed back to what Josh had said earlier today. Quick as a flash she hurriedly text him back

Lily: Just to confirm this is Josh right?

???: Guilty as charged so what do ya say beautiful are you in?

Lily's heart began to beat madly against her chest as her stomach began to fill with butterflies. She could barely think of an response as she simply sat there in bed gaping at her phone in pure unbridled disbelief. Could this really have been the same Josh who had complimented her so freely earlier today? And did he really want Lily to accompany him to one of Declan's parties? Lily was torn between wanting to jump for joy and wanting to cry from suspicion.

Josh: You still with me beautiful :(

Seeing that he was growing impatient Lily hurriedly replied back:

Lily: I don't mind going as long as you don't

Josh: Heh trust me I don't mind one bit alright I'll see you there then G'night gorgeous

Lily felt a certain surge rush through her as she read his last text. Smiling to herself she boldy replied:

Lily: First beautiful now gorgeous? You certainly are a flirt :)

Josh: Lol I can be when I want to be ;)

Lily: lol ok goodnight Josh see ya tomorrow

Josh: :)

She laughed at his last text thinking it was weird that he sent her a smiley face. Putting her phone on it's charger Lily laid back down in her bed and couldn't help but grin to herself as she pondered her future together with Josh. She could barely stifle a giggle as she fantasized about how nice it'd be to be held in Josh's strong arms tomorrow night. Her blissful thoughts came to an abrupt end when she heard a knock at her door.

"Hey, you seem pretty happy?" Lily rolled her eyes as all happiness flooded her at seeing her annoying younger sister looming in her doorway.

"Well I was happy," Lily spat.

"So what was that about?" Amy asked pointing toward her phone. Lily frowned not feeling the need to disclose her personal business to her younger sister.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure that doesn't concern you," LIly remarked.

"Did Josh text you?" Amy asked.

"Does it matter if he did?" Lily barked suddenly feeling incredibly pissed off at her sisters constant prying.

"Look I'm only trying to look out for you here. Josh can be an...well an asshole at times and he's always up to no good so just be careful 'Lil," Amy warned. That was the last straw.

"I don't believe you. The one time a guy shows even an ounce of interest in me and you wanna go and talk shit about him. You can't have every guy Amy!" Lily shouted. Amy gasped indignantly.

"I don't, Declan is the only one for me it's just that I know how insensitive Josh can be and I just don't want to see you get hurt Lily," Amy said.

"Oh funny because as far as I know I've been hurt every single day of my life and you didn't seem to give a damn," Lily snarled.

"Okay besides Josh what is your real problem with me? Why do you always act like such a bitch toward me?" Amy growled.

"Gee I dunno Amy maybe cause that's what I do. Act like a big bitch to everyone," Lily growled before storming over to her door and slamming it closed in Amy's face.

"Look...just be careful alright?" Lily could hear the shakiness in Amy's voice but at the moment anger overshadowed her reason as she stormed toward her bed and laid down. Attemtping to calm down by method of deep breathing Lily chanted over and over: I am going to that party, tomorrow I am definitely going to that party with Josh.

~~XXX~~~

The next day was a silent one within the Gravery household. Once the parents went away to work a deathly silence settled among the Gravery sisters as they both ate their breakfast in silence. Lily absolutely refused to acknowledge Amy as Amy did her best to return the favor. But ultimately it was Amy that broke first.

"Lily look this is ridiculous. I know I said a lot of dumb things last night but this silence is killing me. I don't think there was ever a time where we have ever gotten along but I know that it's never gotten as bad as this." Amy said. Lily scoffed before putting her plate in the sink and rinsing it off.

"Okay how about we go to the mall together? I know you don't have an outfit to wear for tonight so as an attempt at a little sisterly bonding how about we go together? I mean it wouldn't hurt right?" Amy offered looking hopefully at her sister.

"I guess," Was all Lily spared. That was all Amy needed.

"Great," Amy squealed in excitement.

~~XXX~~~

"No Amy for the love of all that is good no," Lily declined once her sister approached her with a dress so tight if you moved the thread would begin to unravel.

"Aw I think it's sexy," Amy pouted.

"Yeah for you maybe but if you hadn't really noticed sexy and me don't really click," Lily remarked bitterly.

"Oh nonsense your fine," Amy dismissed.

"I dunno I just kind of want to play it safe for now," Lily grumbled. Amy shrugged.

"If you say so," Amy said before gazing around the racks. "Oooh how about this one? The classic little black dress," Amy held the dress out for Lily to see. Lily eyed it warily before shrugging.

"It's cool I guess, not too over the top," Lily complimented.

"Okay well are you gonna just stand there or are you gonna go try it on?" Amy encouraged.

"Oh yeah right," Lily giggled embarrassedly as she took the dress and hurried inside the fitting room. A few minutes later and she remerged from the fitting room.

"What do you think Amy, too much?" Lily asked unsurely. Amy's mouth fell open dramatically as she gaped at her sister.

"You look amazing 'Lil," Amy exclaimed causing Lily to blush.

"You always say that though," Lily pouted.

"No way this time I mean it sincerely, you look hot in that dress," Amy squealed.

"Well thanks I guess although it doesn't mean much coming from my own sister," Lily sighed.

"I swear you're such a kill joy just be happy that we're actually able to spend time together, try on nice things and look good in em. Come on this calls for our first ever sister selfie," Amy said as she rummaged through her oversized purse retrieving her phone.

"No I don't-"

"Come on, it's not every day that we both look this hot...well in your case anyway so let's commemorate the moment with a sister selfie," Amy coaxed as she pulled Lily in close to her and puckered up her lips posing for the camera.

"Say Sexy Ladies," Amy said.

"Yeah what she said," Lily said just as the light flashed.

"Let me see," Lily asked worried about how she turned out.

"You should've smiled," Amy said frowning at the picture.

Lily gazed at the picture and instantly felt light headed. She wasn't expecting her picture to come out as terribly as it did. Sure she half expected to look bad in any article of clothing she wore, that was a given, but what she wasn't expecting was to look so homely in comparison to her sister. As usual Lily realized once more that no manner of clothing or dress would enable her to hold a candle to her sister appearance wise.

BIting back her jealousy Lily brushes the picture off and walks back into the fitting room to change out of the dress. Amy snaps another selfie of herself before stashing her phone back inside her purse.

~~XXX~~

The time had finally come for Declans big party and Lily was feeling rather regretful. Sure she felt ok wearing the dress before but adding in her new hair style and foreign makeup she was feeling a bit self conscious.

"There's my baby doll," Declan cooed as he wrapped Amy into his embrace and kissed her passionately. She smiled into the kiss before they broke apart.

"I see someone missed me," Amy teased.

"All the time," Declan grinned before he kissed her cheek.

Lily looked on hopeful she'd be getting the same sort of reaction from Josh once he seen her. Speaking on him she glanced around and didn't see him anywhere.

"Whoa is that 'Lil?" Declan gaped the instant he laid eyes on her. A blush instantly dusted her cheeks.

"Yeah it's me...surprise," Lily halfheartedly joked.

"Oh boy," Declan grinned.

"I don't suppose you seen Josh...anywhere have you?" She didn't want to sound too eager but she definitely wanted to see him. Both Declan and Amy's faces fell.

"Uh I don't know he might be around...then he might not be," Declan said quickly

"Well is he or not? I mean heh, it'll make me feel kind of weird to be here alone when he's the reason why I came in the first place," Lily said.

"Yeah...uh tell ya what when I see him I'll let him know that he has a lovely lady waiting on him," Declan grinned. Amy glanced at the floor before taking Declan by the arm.

"Babe can you get me something to drink, unspiked please?" Amy asked sweetly.

"Sure my love, anything for you," Declan cooed before kissing Amy and walking off.

"Hey 'Lil we can scoot any time you're ready ya know," Amy said.

"We just got here why would we leave. Besides I really was hoping I could see Josh tonight. I mean I didn't exactly dress up just to show my new look off to Declan," Lily laughed nervously. Amy spared a smile as she looked back down.

"Oh look there he is," Lily chirped once she caught sight of him. She quickly headed over to him.

"Lily wait," Amy called but it fell on death ears as her sister plowed her way through the crowd.

With each inch she drew closer to Josh the more nervous she became. What would he think of her new look? Would he be surprised? Would he be attracted to her? Would he compliment her like he did the night before?

All those questions and more came to a screeching halt when she finally did manage her way over to where Josh was only to see him sticking his tongue down some other woman's throat. Lily's heart instantly fell down to her feet as she stood there numbly watching the two make out.

It was only when he broke the kiss did Josh finally notice her.

"Oh hey Lily, damn you dress up nice," Josh complimented completely oblivious to the confusion and rage that was building up in Lily's heart.

"Who is this babe?" The female that was with him asked as she eyed Lily up and down with obvious disdain.

"Oh this is Amy's sister," Josh introduced.

"Just Amy's sister? Really Josh?" Lily asked incredulously. "How can you just stand there as if nothing happened," Lily bristled.

"Uh because nothing did happen. In fact I'm not even sure what you're going on about right now," Josh laughed as his girlfriend shook her head smirking.

"Oh so you texting me all that crap about being beautiful and gorgeous was nothing?" Lily yelled. Josh eyes widened.

"Wha...oh haha okay now I get what's going on. Dude that wasn't me who text you. It was Nate he's the one who text you. He was over my house when he came up with the idea. I didn't even know your number so I called Amy and got your digits from her. Yeah dude, Nate's the culprit here not me," Josh laughed.

"Excuse me?" Lily asked with utter disbelief.

"Oh my god did you seriously think that it was Josh texting you the whole time? Oh haha that's so pathetic and funny all at the same time," His girlfriend laughed.

"I don't understand, was this all a setup," Lily asked feeling suddenly dizzy.

"Not at all, though I am a little mad that he used my identity to go about asking you out. Like that's kind of creepy. Oh and speak of the devil," Josh said as he grinned wide as Nate sauntered over.

"Hey there," Nate said as he gave Josh a bro hug. Lily could do no more than stare at the floor.

"Hey beautiful," Nate whispered to Lily. At the mention of that word Lily's eyes snapped up to glare venom at Nate.

"Don't you dare talk to me. You lied to me this whole time. Even when I asked you if you were Josh you didn't deny it," Lily accused.

"Whoa, whoa hang on for a second and let me plea my case. True it was me texting you but technically I was using Josh's phone to do it. I personally wasn't gonna do it but then Amy told me that you were digging me so I thought why not give it a shot," Nate shrugged.

"Amy?" Lily repeated.

"Okay you guys that's enough," Amy said appearing beside them all with Declan in tow.

"Did you set me up like this?" Lily asked calmly.

"Let me explain first Lily," Amy pleaded.

"This is a simple yes or no answer Amy," Lily said in a chilling voice.

"I did but only because I thought you genuinely liked Nate but once I found out you didn't I tried to fix it but Josh thought it'd be a good idea to continue on with it," Amy explained.

"Well then my gosh what's the problem. It was Nate that text you and invited you not me end of story and the duckies lived happily ever after. Nate you may now kiss the bride," Josh said.

"Would you knock it off Josh, this isn't the time," Amy hissed.

"Yo Amy why are you getting so worked up. Weren't you the one going on about how desperate Lily was and how she'd fall for just about anybody?" Josh said causing his girlfriend to laugh hysterically along with Nate.

"Josh," Amy said incredulously.

Lily's entire body began to tremble.

"Lily I'm so-" That was all Amy was capable of getting out before she was brutally smacked by LIly. Amy fell to the floor with a thud.

"Whoa," Nate grimaced as he took a step back.

"Damn nice shot," Josh admired.

"What the hell is your problem!" Amy screamed through her tears as Declan tried to help her up. By now onlookers were checking out the scene.

"What comes around goes around you little bitch. But I swear to god before I leave this earth I will make sure that every waking moment you bastards live is filled with hell. I'm through being the fool. I swear I will get you for this Amy!" Lily seethed as she rushed away through the crowd and out of sight.

"Woo talk about dramatic," Josh scoffed. Everyone shot him a shut the hell up look even including his girlfriend.

~~XXX~~

Running down the street Lily didn't stop even when she lost her one of her shoes she just kept on running. Even when her lungs burned for air she didn't stop. It wasn't until her heel hit a snag in the sidewalk did she stop and that was only because she fell face first down.

Slowly getting up she looked down to realize red drops were falling down. Touching her lips she finally realizes that it had been bleeding due to the fall. Tears made there way down her face mixing in with the rainfall.

"Damn it," Lily cried in anger and sadness. "Why can't I just be happy, why?" Lily screamed.

"I hate you...I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I fucking hate you Amy," Lily roared as she clenched her fists and ground her teeth. "I swear I'll get you back, I swear," Lily cried as hot tears rolled down her cheeks staining her mascara.

Soft footsteps slowly approached Lily until the person was standing directly in front of her.

"Oh dear are you okay?" A honeyed voice asked. Looking up Lily's gaze was meant with a calm yet peculiar gaze of gold irises. Lily could only marvel at the beauty standing before her in her strangely dressed attire and large black parasol that shielded the beauty from the rain.

"Who are you?" Lily asked. The young woman gazed down at Lily for a brief moment.

"I am called many names. Phantom...Witch, even Remedy? Take your pick dear," The young woman explained.

"It doesn't matter," Lily said dropping her head back down. "It just doesn't fucking matter."

"Hm you poor dear, so many conflicting emotions that rage within you. Shall I relieve you?" The woman asked.

"What are you talking about I'm not in the mood to-" Lily stops abruptly when she looks up to find the woman offering up her hand.

"Shall I grant your wish?" The woman smiles a faint smile.

"My wish?" Lily parrots.

"Yes, I will gladly grant you whatever you so desire. But be warned such wishes come with heavy costs. Will you risk it?" The woman offers.

Anger floods through Lily's body as she remembers the humilation and betrayal she faced not even five minutes ago. Lily firmly grips the woman's extended hand.

"Take whatever the fuck you want from me. But in exchange give me Amy's beauty and popularity. Give me her life and let her have a taste of what I have to go through," Lily snarled at the woman.

"And so it shall be," The woman grinned as her gold eyes flashed for a brief moment resulting in Lily fainting on the spot.

~~XXX~~

It was a bright and sunny morning when Lily had finally came to. She groaned in pain as her head throbbed violently.

"I'd hate to think what a hangover feels like," She groaned as she made her way out of bed slowly.

Yawning she made her way towards the bathroom when she heard Amy's voice.

"Oh my god ew where in the hell are all these pimples coming from?" She heard her cry. Looming in the mirror was none other than Amy in her grey sweat pants and pink camisole. Lily gazed up at the cause of the commotion and surprisingly noticed that a cluster of pimples had began to form on her otherwise flawless skin.

"Ugh Shit," Amy cursed. Amy's gaze cut to Lily who simply loomed in the doorway staring at her.

"Can I help you?" Amy snapped.

"No but I'd like to help myself to the bathroom," Lily said simply. She couldn't help but rest her eyes on Amy's forehead where numerous zits decorated her skin.

"Ugh whatever, move," Amy bristled as she rushed her way out of the bathroom. Lily frowned as she watched her leave.

"That bitch has a lot of nerve," Lily mumbled remembering last night and what Amy had did. If anyone should of been angry Lily felt it should've been herself.

Once in the bathroom Lily grabbed her tooth brush and plastered on a glob of toothpaste before sticking it in her mouth to brush her teeth. It wasn't until she caught sight of her reflection in the mirror did she scream.

"What on earth!?" Lily exclaimed as she grabbed at her hair or what was supposed to be her hair. Lily was sure her hair had been a dark brown color and considerably more shorter than this. So why was it that as of now her hair was a chestnut brown color, much longer and her eyes were now a light brown. She could do nothing more than gawk at herself. She looked so much more like her mother no...so much more like Amy.

Lily gasped as realization dawned on her. The wish she had made the previous night, the wish to have more beauty. Was this that woman's doing, the woman who went by many names?

Lily continued to stare at herself in the reflection taking in her new features. One thing in particular that she noted was how lucious her skin looked. Unlike Amy, Lily's newfound skin didn't have a zit or blemish in sight.

"I don't believe this, it actually came true. That woman actually granted my wish I can't believe it," Lily laughed as she tenderly caressed her face.

"Wow, I look...good," Lily giggled as she admired herself. She quickly released her hair from its usual ponytail and let the long and glorious locks cascade down her back. Never had she been able to grow her hair out this long. She didn't necessarily take into consideration the color but she sure looked damn good in it.

"Hey sexy," Lily teased as she blew kisses at her reflection.

"Wow...I just can't even deal right now," Lily laughed. Teasing her hair slightly she then began to wonder just what hairstyle she was going to put it in today considering she had enough hair to do a glamourous hairstyle now.

That was arguably the best morning Lily had experienced in a long time.

~~XXX~~

At school Lily walked inside like usual heading toward her locker first to retrieve her books for first period when she's intercepted by Declan.

"Oh hey 'Lil, wow you look pretty nice today. Did you do something different with your hair?" Declan asked. Lily smirked.

"Yes Declan as a matter of fact I did do something different with my hair," Lily laughed.

"Called it," Declan clapped as he grinned at Lily. She rose a curious eyebrow at him.

"Hey Dec there you are," Amy said making her appearance.

"He-oooh, wow somebody hit puberty overnight," Declan said unable to mask his slight disgust of the many zits that adorned his girlfriends face.

"Ugh don't remind me," Amy said moving in for a kiss.

"Oh hey babe you know I'm all for a early morning make out session but I forgot to brush the chops this morning so uh... you know," Declan said moving back.

"Oh...ok yeah that's cool. Wouldn't wanna kiss you and learn what you had for dinner last night," Amy laughed it off.

"Yeah totally," Declan laughed. Lily could do no more but look between the two. That was the most painful lie she had ever heard and she could tell Amy knew this. But why did Declan refuse to kiss Amy? Was it because of Amy's zits? A slow smile curled across Lily's lips as she watched the awkward scene before her unfold.

"Well Declan...Amy I'll leave you two to yourselves," Lily said as she made a move to head toward class.

"Oh no it's cool I kind a got to motor too. I'll text you when I can babe," Declan threw over his shoulder as he hastened away leaving Amy standing there confused.

"Uh what just happened here?" Amy asked looking honestly lost and confused. Lily snickered as she kept on walking.

~~XXX~~

The class period was just ending when the teacher instructed the student to pass up their papers to the front of the room.

Lily quickly jots down her name before handing it up only to have her hand brushed against. Glancing up she notices that Josh is grinning back at her.

"Hey there," He greets.

"HI," Lily mutters just as the bell rings. Quickly gathering her things she hastens out of class with Josh hot on her heels.

"Hey what's the hurry? What you can't slow down enough to talk to me?" Josh asked latching onto her arm.

"I dunno Josh, pretty sure your girlfriend would get the wrong idea," Lily said swiping a lock of hair out of her face. Josh chuckled.

"I have many things but a girlfriend ain't one of em. But you know, there's a first time for everything," Josh said suddenly turning his hazel gaze onto Lily. Lily shrunk back remembering that this was the same face that had intrigued her just before stomping her heart right into the ground.

"I'm sure there is and I'm pretty sure you'll find someone to fill that role," Lily said trying to leave for homeroom.

"Hey I've got pretty high standards you know. Not just anyone will be able to fill in the girlfriend role," Josh said.

"Uh huh," Lily grunted not even sparing him a second glance.

~~XXX~~

In homeroom class Lily sat in her usual seat in deep thought about the strange shift in events. Declan was now distancing himself from Amy all the while Josh was drawing closer to herself. Not to mention people treated her differently, complimented her more. It had to be because of her newfound looks. That could only be it.

A few minutes later and the rest of the class came flooding in taking there seats. Declan came in a considerable distance ahead of Amy who sulked behind him. Lily kept her eyes trained ahead as a sly smirk played across her lips.

"Sup 'Lil," Declan greeted.

"Hey Dec," Lily greeted.

"Sup Lily," Josh shouted drawing practically everyone's attention honestly making Lily chuckle.

"Hi Josh even though I seen you all of last period," Lily smiled as she took out her favorite book and began reading.

"I know but it still feels like forever," Josh winked. Lily scoffed as she kept her eyes glued into her book.

"Hey there," Came a familiar greeting. Glancing up she noticed it was Nate who took his usual spot next to her.

"Hi Nate," She responded. He gave a small smile before glancing away into his own text book that he had brought. Lily couldn't help but think how strange this was considering Nate was the type of person to find any and everything possible to talk about all so he can have a conversation with her.

As time ticked by hushed chatter filled the room and Lily had managed to get pretty far in her book but her book was the last of her worries. Nate had yet to have said a thing to her besides his usual greeting. That was not normal. Glancing at him she noticed that he was spacing out as if he were bored completely out of his mind.

"Hey 'Lil, me and some of my friends are heading to the mall you down for hanging with us?" Josh asked.

'Is he serious?' Lily thought to herself.

"No not today but thanks though," Lily declined.

"Aw come on 'Lil's I promise I won't bite...that much," Josh said wriggling his eyebrows.

Lily laughed but still declined.

"Bummer," Declan said.

"It's cool, she doesn't normally hang with us anyway," Amy said not seeing why there was such a cloud of depression all because Lily wouldn't hang out with them.

"Yeah but at least she'd give us something other than your zits to look at though," Josh said causing both Declan and Amy to give him a heated glare.

"You are such an ass I swear." Amy bristled. Lily's attention was fully gained by now.

"Dude not cool," Declan frowned.

"Can I help it if I can play connect the dots on your girlfriends face," Josh scoffed.

"You know what say what more thing asshole," Amy bristled.

"Amy chill for a sec okay babe?" Declan soothed.

"Oh don't you babe me now. I know what's going on here. You both think I'm disgusting now that I have all these zits on my face don't you?" Amy yelled gathering everyone's attention.

"Babe that's not even remotely it," Declan defended.

"Yeah that's kind of it for me though," Josh said insensitively.

"Dude can you just shut the hell up for one second?" Declan bristled.

"Whatever I'm out. But uh..." Josh said as he stopped in front of Lily's desk. "Call me sometime yeah?" Josh said before slipping Lily his number and walking out. Lily could feel her face flush as she stared at the number over and over. Even despite the bickering between Declan and Amy going on in the background all Lily could process was that something undeniably has shifted within the fabric of reality.

~~XXX~~~

Immediately upon arriving home Amy stormed upstairs leaving Declan standing at the bottom of the stairs. With a heavy sigh he listened as she slammed her door closed. Lily not wanting to get involved slung her bag on the couch and placed her phone on the living room table.

"Honestly I don't know what's wrong with her. I mean ever since yesterday she's been so..different," Declan confessed.

"Well you know that's girls for you," Lily shrugged.

"But you're not like that," Declan muttered. Lily eyed him out of the corner of her eye but remained silent.

"I guess what I'm saying is...sometimes I wished Amy was....you know chill like you," Declan admitted. Lily's eyes widened considerably. Oblivious to this Declan shifted toward the door.

"I dunno I'll probably call her later. See ya tomorrow 'Lil," Declan said before he saw himself out the door.

"Oh my god," Lily gasped as she broke out in a wide grin. "This is the best fucking day ever," Lily grinned. Hurriedly she ran to her room and locked the door before pulling out her full body mirror and giving herself a once over.

"Oh my gosh, Josh was practically ready to have sex with me and Declan...hm Declan. He's strange. Can't really tell where his head is at as of now but oh well... I still can't believe Josh," Lily squealed as she hugged herself.

"Okay okay calm down 'Lil you gotta think clearly about this. Okay so first I'm tricked horribly by Josh and Nate and then I end up running away and meeting that strange lady with the gold eyes. She says she'll grant my wish at a cost and she does. Now Josh is showing an excessive interest in me and Declan is acting friendlier toward me while at the same time growing colder towards Amy. Hm the only thing that doesn't really make sense as of now though is why Nate is ignoring me all of a sudden. Hm...what if that's the cost the woman was talking about? Hah a pretty small price to pay if you ask me. I couldn't careless if that loser stopped talking to me. Saves me the trouble of having to get rid of him myself," Lily laughed as she fell back onto her bed rubbing her flat stomach.

"Finally, with just one wish I finally have the life I've always wanted. But this is only the beginning," Lily smiled as she gazed at a crumpled picture of Amy on the floor. "I meant it when I said I'd make your life hell," Lily smirked. "And it's all thanks to that woman. Oh wait come to think of it she said she went by many names but had no specific name. Well then mysterious woman I shall now refer to you as Lady Grace because by gracing me with your presense all of this was made possible," Lily laughs.

~~XXX~~

Lily awakes to hear a quiet sobbing coming from across the hall. Peeking out the door she notices that it's coming from Amy's room. Peeking inside she sees Amy laying on the floor sobbing.

Lily struggles to suppress a smirk as she knocks on the door and enters her sisters room.

"You doing okay sis?" Amy looked up at her with tear filled eyes sniffling and Lily internally rolls her eyes at the pitiful sight.

"Something is wrong with me. Look at my face and my hair and my....my body," Amy cried as she regarded herself with utter disgust. Lily gave her a once over and sniffed. Funny she actually reminded her a little bit of herself.

"You look fine, stop worrying over nothing. Stress causes weight gain as well as acne. The sooner you stop stressing yourself out the better you'll feel and look okay," The least Lily could do was giver her this little peace of mind. After all, the devastation after the fact will be just that much greater.

"You're right...I just....Declan's acting so cold toward me now and Josh is being an even bigger asshole to me than usual. And my body is slowly starting to fall apart I just can't cope with all these sudden changes. It's like they just happened overnight or something.

Lily perked up at the mention of that.

"Yeah it does seem like that doesn't it," Lily smirked.

~~XXX~~~

To say the tension in the air could be cut with a blade was a huge understatement. No one really knew what to say or do once they heard the words that came out of Declan's mouth the moment he laid eyes on Amy.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Amy asked in utter disbelief.

"Listen Amy I don't know...I just don't feel close to you anymore. I mean you've changed so much...like you're a completely different person," Declan confessed.

"Oh so my skin has a few blemishes and I've picked up a little weight so that's grounds to just break up with me? I'm not perfect Declan my body goes through changes too," Amy yelled.

Lily stood a foot away and was doing her utmost best to keep her fit of laughter at bay. She hadn't even planned for things to work out as quickly and as smoothly as they had. To think Declan would've taken the initiative to break things off with her first was beyond Lily. She stood back with Josh along side her as they both marveled at the dramatic scene unfolding in front of them. Josh however was a lot more open with his amusement occasionally mocking Amy whenever she yelled or cussed at Declan.

"You know what...heh fine. Fine Declan okay I'm done. Go and find yourself a perfect ten for all I care. Have a nice life you fucking bum," Amy cussed as she stormed off.

"Ding dong the witch is dead," Josh remarked as he made a gun with his fingers and made a bang and pow noise toward Amy's retreating back. Lily had to control the smile that threatened to play across her lips.

"So pathetic," Lily remarked unable to hold in her thoughts anymore as she broke out in a fit of laughter. Josh seeing the beauty before him laughing laughed even harder along with her. Declan nervously joined in on the laughter.

~~XXX~~~

It was the next day and Lily had arose bright and early to prepare herself for the day. She had to make sure she looked nice for this particular day because today was the day that she planned to seduce Josh. Not that much effort needed to be made considering he was practically putty in her devious little hands already.

Lily however was shocked to see that her hair had turned completely blonde and her eyes were now a deep blue color. This she did not like.

"What on earth?" Lily grew nervous at the rapid changes she were experiencing. At first they were alright but now it was beginning to get a bit scary. Even as she looked at herself it almost seemed like it were Amy herself staring back at her.

Brushing off her initial unease she continues to primp herself for the day that lay ahead.

"Amy are you ready, I'm driving us to school today?" Lily called. No answer. Walking over to her sister's room she knocks.

"Amy?" Lily called. Still no response.

"Amy are you still asleep? You'll be late for school and I'm about to leave," Lily called.

"Go away," Came the gruff reply. Lily scoffed as she rolled her eyes.

"Suit yourself," Lily said as she headed on her way to school without Amy.

~~XXX~~~

At school Lily was heading toward her locker when she spots Nate walking by.

"Hey Nate," Lily calls out to him. Looking up she see's that his stare is just as blank as his head. Usually his eyes would light up a room whenever he saw Lily.

"Hey Amy," Nate said. Lily stopped dead in her tracks as she gaped at him.

"Amy, are you blind I'm Lily?" Lily scoffed offended. Nate blinked three times slowly before chuckling.

"Oh yeah, my apologies Lily," He laughed as he walked off. Lily looked after him frowning.

"That fucking weirdo," She cussed before walking toward her locker. As she approached she wasn't surprised to see Josh standing there waiting on her.

"Sup 'Lil, you dye your hair again?" Josh asked.

"Yes I did, nice of you to have noticed," Lily flirted.

"Yeah I notice a lot of things about you," Josh shot her a flirtatious smile.

"Oh yeah, enlighten me," Lily challenged.

"I'd be happy to...over dinner of course say tonight?" Josh shot her a bright smile.

"Wow...smooth move casanova," Lily chuckled.

"Well I made you laugh so there must be hope. Come on what do you say, give a lovesick guy a chance yeah?" He insisted.

"Tell you what, let me think on this and I'll have your answer after school hm?" Lily insisted.

"Oh I see...heh what a tease," Josh laughed. "But okay cool, I'll be seeing you then," He said as he slowly walked away.

Lily rolled her eyes before opening her locker.

"Hey Lily," A slow smile crept on Lily's face. It was just too easy.

"Hi Declan," She said not even glancing at him.

"So how you been?" He asked.

"I've been good and yourself?" She asked as she retrieved her first hour book.

"Same, I've just been thinking...about stuff ya know," Declan sighed.

"Oh what kind of stuff if you don't mind my asking?"

"To be honest I've mostly been thinking about you," Declan confessed. Lily turned to look at him to see him blushing slightly.

"Me?" Lily asked feigning shock. It was obvious from the get what his real feelings were the moment he broke up with Amy.

"Yeah," Declan said softly looking abashed.

"That's so sweet Declan but what about Amy?" Lily asked.

"What about her?" Came Declan's quick reply. Music to Lily's ears.

~~XXX~~

That night Lily couldn't stop laughing. Her plan had worked, her revenge was finally coming to it's conclusion. She had basically stripped her sister of everything worth stripping her of. Her popularity her beauty her boyfriend. Everything. Tonight would prove to be the icing on the cake as she cleverly set up two different dates between Josh and Declan at the exact same restauraunt where she was hoping if things go without blunder the two fools would try to kill themselves over her. Or at least bloody each others noses. Yes, Lady grace had truly blessed her.

Lily scowled at the mirror upon learning that her appearance had shifted to a terrifying degree. She had officially become the identical twin of Amy but what did that matter now? Amy's beauty was now hers, Amy's popularity was now hers. Amy's boyfriend was putty in her hands and pretty soon Amy's entire existence would belong to her. Just that thought alone made Lily shiver in excitement. Finally the life she had long deserved was soon to be hers for good.

Exiting the bathroom Lily heads downstairs to fetch her keys to prepare to leave when she's startled to see Nate standing there gazing right across at her.

"Nate what are you doing here?" Lily asked.

"Oh hello Amy, Lily let me in," Nate said. Lily bit her lip angrily.

"Nate would you knock it off already. I've told you before I'm Lily," Lily bristled. Nate slowly approached her.

"I don't think you understand, my Lily looks nothing like you, you whore," Nates eyes were cold and unfeeling as he grabbed her.

"Nate what the hell are you doing let go of me," Lily screamed but Nate was unflinching as he held her down.

"Nate stop it," try as she might have Lily didn't have the strength in her to fight Nate off as he shifted all of his weight onto her pinning her to the floor. Lily looked up into Nate's angry eyes and realized that this was a side of Nate she had never seen before.

"Why are you doing this to me Nate? It's me Lily don't you recognize me?" Lily cried.

"Kind of hard to recognize you as Lily when you have my face big sister," Lily froze at the sound of that voice.

"Amy?" Lily called as she glanced up to see her sister hovering over her. Lily's jaw opened in a silent scream of terror at the person looming over her.

"Oh my god," Lily gasped as she looked into the face of not Amy's but her own.

"Surprise sister, I've now become you and you've now become me. I would say your little plan for revenge was quite successful," Amy complimented.

"How did you figure out-"

"Oh please it wasn't that hard Lily, especially when my room is next door and your practically yelling out your plans for the whole world to hear," Amy taunted. Lily internally flinched at the carelessness she had displayed.

"Ok so you know now big whoop. What can you possibly do, it's part of my wish it can't be reversed," Lily smirked trying to gain some of the upperhand back.

"Poor stupid Lily even in your final moments you're still so blind. Take a look around dear you've failed. Nate here was the first to have noticed it. He saw immediately what treachery was taking place and to say the least he was not pleased about it. So he and I teamed up to ambush you right here at this very moment to make you pay for doing something so insolent. You see dear, one of the things you failed to realize was that Nate was always watching you. There wasn't a detail about you that he didn't know so when you drastically began changing into me Nate began taking notice of you. But now that you've completely changed into me and I into you Nate no longer see's you as his precious jewel anymore," Amy smiled.

"So what...what are you going to do to me?" Lily asked trembling beneath Nate's body.

"Oh Nate would you be a dear and...dispose of this pest," Amy smiled a creepy smile.

"Anything for you my beloved Lily," Nate said robotically as he pulled out a thick butcher knife. Lily's eyes widened.

"Oh god Nate what are you doing please don't," Lily begged.

"I really must thank Lady Grace though. Because of her both Nate and I were finally able to have our wishes fulfilled. I got to see everything you worked so hard to achieve come crashing down in your face and Nate finally gets to have his sweet Lily all to himself. It's a win, win...oh but not for you dear sorry," Amy laughed.

"Lady Grace did this?" Lily cried.

"Not Lady Grace dear, Karma. A befitting name don't you think?" Amy giggled.

"Lady Grace you fucking bitch you betrayed me," Lily wailed. "You lied to me," Lily cried as she squirmed violently underneath Nate's weight.

"Do take care of her dear, then dispose of her body. I'll be waiting upstairs for you when you get back," Amy said as she walked away relishing in the sounds of her dear older sister being butchered by Nate.

~~XXX~~

"Meeoorw," A black cat mewled as it laid idly in it's owners lap.

"Yes, I have noticed that we were able to kill three birds with only one stone. Hehe the human heart can be so devious at times, how delicious." The woman said as the feline stretched and jumped down from her lap.

"Foolish girl, no lie was spoken. In exchange for your wish I made it perfectly clear that the price would be costly. In exchange for your sisters life I gave your existence to her. Fair is only fair, isn't that right my dear?"

"Meow," Twilight mewled again.

"Yes, I can sense that more wishes are in dire need of being granted," The mysterious woman said as she watched a white feather die and wither to the floor. A cruel smile played across her lips.
