I sit in the court room, looking at the man I'm up against with a very large, intimidating stature. "Um, well, basically I was walking home from the last day of school when he dragged me into an alley and attempted to assault me, He was trying to rip off my clothes, but a police man saw him drag me in the alley and stopped him before he could get any further." I heard all of the men groan in displeasure, all of them glaring at me. The trial lasted for 3 hours, by the end, the man known as Nick Johnson was sentenced one year jail time for assault.
After the trial a woman pulled you aside to a room to sit and talk with you. "Hello (Y/N), my name is Polly, I'm part of the witness protection program." Polly was very tall and skinny, pale with black hair and black eyes. "That man who assaulted you is part of an organization who has been kidnapping girls and making them sex slaves, thanks to you many girls have been saved, but unfortunately some of these men still roam free, and they will be looking for you."
"What will happen to me?" You cowered into your seat. You didn't want to be here, you wanted to be in your bed in your foster home.
"We've already started, From today forward your legal name will be Marnie Marsh. Tonight you will spend your last night in your foster home, and tomorrow at 4 a.m. you will be getting on a flight to Paris where you will live on your own and attend an English high school where you will be taught French Paris is the safest city in the world, protected by two real life superheroes Ladybug and Chat Noir." Polly grabs you by your shoulders, puts a trench coat and sunglasses on you and leads you to a black car.
When you get to your foster home there are police surrounding the area, they let you in knowing who you are. Polly gives you a bag instructing you to use the items inside to change your appearance. Once inside you were ambushed into a hug by your best friend, and fellow orphan, Annalise. Annalise was petite in every sense of the word, 4'11 and 90 pounds, a tiny little thing. Her hair was blonde, ringlets always in a high ponytail, with bangs framing her bright blue eyes. "How did you do Saturn?" Annalise addressed you as she always did, the nickname she had given you when the both of you were young and you would hula hoop for hours.
"Annalise, I won, but I can't stay here, People are moving me somewhere else, where I'll be safer, where his friends won't find me. I won't be able to talk to you after tonight, but know it's not because I don't like you, it's because I'm protecting the both of us." You hug Annalise as tight as she hugs you. "But now I'm going to need to change how I look, and I'm going to need my best friends help," You said as you held up the bag Polly had given you.
Annalise grabbed the bag from you and pulled out the contents, the contents were various colors of hair dye, a pair of scissors, and an outfit; a leather skirt, leather jacket, and blue tank top. Annalise grabs you and drags you inside the bathroom making you wash your hair under the bathtub faucet while she chose which color your hair would be dyed. Annalise mixed the bright blue and bright green hair dye to make a bright teal color. After she finished dying my hair she cut my hair to edgy side bangs. Then you changed your outfit to the one provided, you definitely weren't recognizable to people who don't know you very well.
"I think there's one more thing we can add," Annalise pipes up, "You're an artist, so I assume you have ink of some sort, and I plan on being a fashion designer so of course I have needles lying around. Perhaps we can give each other a tattoo to remember each other by." Annalise went to fetch her sewing needles and some matches and a candle, while you fetched your ink and rubbing alcohol and cotton balls.
We took all the safety precautions to avoid infection then gave each other tattoo's. Annalise gave you a Saturn tattoo on your ankle, and you gave her a bumble bee on her wrist, after all she always was a queen bee. The both of you laughed and talked for hours, sharing your last moments together. She helped you pack your bag, making sure you didn't leave a single article of clothing or any personal object behind. It was 1 a.m. when Polly returned to pick you up and take you to Paris.
"Don't forget me (Y/N)," The first time you had heard Annalise say your real name in years.
"How could I ever forget you Annalise, you're my best friend, I'll think about you everyday." You hugged her then joined Polly in her car, going to the airport. Polly told you about how when you landed in Paris you'd be going back 10 hours and would land at 6 p.m. the prior day, and the story you were to tell people if they asked about your past.
The airport was awful, it took hours of standing in line just to get through the TSA checks. once inside the airport you raced to your gate to make it to your flight that would last 7 hours. Polly was with you the whole time, it would be too cruel to leave a child alone before showing them the ropes. You both boarded your flight in the front of the plane, and once you were comfortable you fell asleep instead of listening to the flight attendants safety instructions.
