Letting out a long sigh, I let myself grow as my hair tumbled out of the pigtails I kept them in. Instead of the dress that I usually wore, I changed into the last dress that I had seen Luci in… the black one with the thigh-high split and the sleeve down one arm.
I didn't have her tattoos; instead, I showed off my scars and my staples, a testament to the harsh life I have lived up to this point. Before, when I didn't understand what was going on, I hated those scars… I saw them as a weakness as to what I had allowed others to do to me.
But I was older now… or at least I understood things better.
Scars weren't a sign of weakness but of strength.
A lot of people wouldn't be able to survive what I had survived, and now I was wearing my scars like trophies, including the one that bisected my face.
No longer was Bishop looking at the human version of myself, but the person I was inside... Lucifer.
