Alex is back

“It is time, Alex, remember all I told you and put an end to Lincoln and his madness.” Vampire prepared Alex and put him back into his body.

He stood up and went to look at himself in the mirror.

“Is this what I get! For all these days I spent waiting?” Alex muttered as he tilt his neck to one side and run his finger on his jawline.

He could feel things like gallop on one side of his face.

Vampire could see the look of disappointment on his face.

“We tried Alex, this is the best we could get, you were burned beyond recognition, at least people will be able to recognize you now.

“With these horrible scars?” Alex asks holding his face as if to pull it off his neck.

“Is not that bad, if you ask me” Vampire said and Alex shifted his gaze from the mirror to Vampire.

“With this half-deformed face?” he asks him, almost yelling.

“You should be thankful, it could be worst”.

Alex could not fathom how a handsome guy like him suddenly became this!.

He wonders if Sandra would be able to recognize and accept him as before.

He wasn’t bothered about Clara or any of his friends, he was bothered about Sandra.

Alex was confused, but his confusion ended quickly and he thanked Vampire and left.

Getting to his house he went to his room take a shower and scan through his wardrobe.

Everything is intact, he took out his best shirt put it on, and looks at himself in the mirror.

“hmmm, not bad” but when he looked at his half- distorted face, his heart dropped.

"I hope they accept me this way” he muttered and mustered up the courage to see them.

He already knows they are at Jack’s place so he made his way to them.

A few gasps came from them when the man standing before them stepped forward revealing his disfigured face. It was like someone has taken a knife and carefully carved his face with it.

It looks somewhat scary but the man is putting on Alex's cloth, Clara recognizes it and they turn to look at each other.

“Who is he?” heavily pregnant Sandra ask in a whisper but Clara and Jack could only stare.

Clara gave Jack a sign and he went in to get the gun.

“Who are you and what are you doing?” Jack pointed the gun at him.

“Hey... Chill, I’m Alex”

“What!” They all gasp in surprise, and Sandra blinks a few times.

“No! You're not Alex, Lincoln sent you here to try and take Sandra but God helps you because you will not leave here alive” Clara threatened.

“Clara is me, I just have a..a deformed face, that’s all” but none believed him.

“Jack is me” he tries to remind him of things they use to do together, some of which are not good for the ladies to hear.

Sandra just roll her eyes when he told Jack about the guy's code and Ella and other stuff.

He just has to, or else they won't believe him.

“My bro!” Jack rushes to embrace him.

“Alex!..” Clara and Sandra rushed at him at the same time and he hug both of them.

“Alex..., is you,?” Sandra asks, and then starts to cry.

“Look what they did to your face!” she raise her hand to his face and trace his jawline, it was bad. She just cries and places her head on his chest while he hugs her still standing.

Clara sat down with Jack but she wasn’t happy, Alex did not look like Alex again.
