Beautiful Envy
Chapter 2
Upon opening her eyes and seeing the glow from the OPI's hovering over head, Sephora quickly came to herself, realizing she has fallen asleep under the stairway she was hiding under. Looking at her surroundings she noticed night had fallen and they would come looking for her.
Sephora knew she had to keep her hiding place secret incase she needed to hide again. She reached for her palette opened it and waiting for a response, nothing. She began making her way home, things looked different to her in the dark, she secretly hoped she wouldn't run into Henri Bendel.
A rumor was going around that Henri Bendel had returned to Tarte and was causing a quite a stir, with his thievery and tricky ways, Sephora thought him handsome, but never let anyone know especially Ulta who would tease her with it if she knew.
Sephora felt a rush of slime upon her leg as she stepped in a puddle of Wet N' Wild and did her best to keep moving, but she has to get the slime off as it began to itch and burn. She heard a loud thud in the distance and she knew it was time to move, picking up per pace, "just make it to the corner." she said to herself. Boom! she fell to the ground, Wet and full of slime.
Getting to her feet she noticed a body on the ground moving but unable to get itself up, talking but slurring it's words, she walked around the body not taking her eyes off it for a second. She heard the stories of what happens on this side of Tarte to young girls after dark.
As she was about to run off The body reached for her leg and dropped her a second time, this time it revealed itself from its cloaked shadow. She kicked and it rolled back over on its side. "Serves you right Estee Lauder." she said getting on her feet.
"you should have said something, anything, instead of your drunken mumbling". "Oh, its you Sephora." He said looking at her as he recognized the voice and tone coming from the small creature he knocked down.
"I thought you were Burt or one of his bees." He said looking around in his sneaky manner.
Sephora felt bad for Estee Lauder, he was once a great and proud man, who spent all his father's fortune at The Body Shop, thinking he could win Murad's Love. Murad was a Spiritual Seer and could see Estee Lauder's true heart and knew deep inside he could never truly love anyone until he loved his true self first. It was a sad story really.
Everybody in Tarte knows The Body Shop Replaces broken or worn out limbs but only through accident, illness or act of war, but not for vanity. Estee Lauder had bribed many Employees of The Body Shop in his search for the perfect body, but it would only last a day or so. The magic knows if its truly needed or not and it wasn't, so it failed over and over. And here is what is left of the great and proud Estee Lauder.
"You Come Home." Said a Loud and rocky voice from behind. Sephora closed her eyes and tilted her head back to the heavens asking "why?"
"I am coming home!" as she turned to face Smashbox the household rock giant turned body guard by Sephoras parents. She had a knack for getting into trouble.
"You Come Home." he said once again pointing down the street towards the house.
"You grab him." Sephora said pointing at Estee Lauder. Sephora had a plan to use Estee Lauder as an excuse as to why she was out so late.
The giant picked up the drunken Estee Lauder and put him over his shoulder in one quick movement and reached for Sephora. "I can walk Smashbox." She said as she began to lead the way home.
The giant, the girl and the drunk walked down the road. Henri Bendel who watched and listened emerged from the shadows. "Orly." he said calling to his pet. "Things are going to get interesting."
