WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT

CHAPTER 24

Auxilium

I followed Freddie back upstairs and into a room which looked like the one Jace and I slept in but it was much girlier. I sat on the bed and looked around the room

"So how's life?" Freddie asked as she went into her closet and brought out a black long sleeved jumper and took some high heeled ankle boots.

I just narrowed my eyes at her

"Well I'm all alone for Christmas instead of being with my family so I'd say life's great. I'm infact the luckiest girl to have all these happen to me. What do you say?" I asked and she sighed

"Kate it's me you're saying this to" she stated as she handed me the jumper and placed the boots on the floor

"And who are you?" I asked with a bored expression on my face and she scoffed

"Whatever" she said and I looked at the jumper in my hand

"And what's this for?" I asked and she rolled her eyes at my question

"I never knew you'd forget what clothes were, how did you manage to put what you're wearing on?" She asked and I felt my blood boil.

I abruptly stood up and put on the dress and shoes and looked in the mirror. The dress looked skin tight on me like it did on Freddie but was surprisingly not so

"So why am I in this outfit?, I'm not an agent" I asked and she walked up to me

"According to the rules whether you're an agent or an auxilium, you're supposed to be in the prescribed attire when meeting at the training grounds

"A what?" I asked with a confused expression on my face

"An auxilium. The people that we help, like you" she stated

"So where are they?, I thought they also lived in the mission house" I asked

"They do. The first few floors is occupied by them, we don't normally associate ourselves with the auxilium so it's a bit weird that you're going to the training grounds but all the same I'm so glad that you're here" she said the last part excitedly

"So no auxilium or whatever goes to the training grounds?" I asked and she nodded her head

"You're one of the first to ever go there and auxilium is a Latin word meaning help" she said as she took of my band from my hair making it fall down over me

"Why did you do that?" I asked

"I'm tying it up in a proper pontail. Didn't you see most of the female agents with their hair tied up in a ponytail" she asked as she brushed it

"But wasn't my hair tied into a ponytail?" I asked

"Bestie as I said 'a proper ponytail'" she stated and with that she tied my hair into the most hair ripping ponytail I had ever experienced in my life

I closed my eyes real tight and opened it when she was done. I looked at my face in the mirror and could literally hear my hair screaming for help. This was enough to straighten any curls

"My poor curls" I said and she laughed

"Don't worry the pain goes after a while" she said and handed me some golden large loop earrings

"What are these for, do I also have to wear it?" I asked as I put them on

"Nope. But you know me, for everything I do fashion comes first" she said.

"So would Jace also be in this kind of outfit?" I asked her and she looked at me confused

"Who's Jace?" She asked and suddenly her eyes widened
