It's been three days with no word, I began to wonder if they would come back. Could Hecate be right? Did they use me for my powers like all the others? No, it wouldn't be, Ky was kind and sweet. Maybe her body just needed to rest, of course it did; it was a huge ordeal! I just had to be patient. I felt their presence and opened my door for them, and they walked in with smiles. "Mistress Qet! It's Mei and Satan! Are you home?" She said cheerfully. I felt her enter farther into my lair, "Hi Lady Qet! How are you!" She said as she hugged me tightly, "I'm wonderful pet, just wonderful! Come and have a seat I was just making some tea! Oh but not this though, this is soap for laundry, ha ha not everything is about magic!" I smiled and she laughed. I took her by her arm and led her to my living room. I had never invited anyone this deep into my home before, it felt wonderful. I sat with Ky on the couch and Satan took the armchair. "Now tell me, what brings you guys here? Have you been resting well?" I asked, "Yes Noona, actually Satan told me I had been asleep for three days, and I really thought I was sleeping for only a few hours." She began, "Oh, Satan and I brought you something while I am thinking of it, I am not sure if witches like poison apples, but we collected a bunch, and we wanted to give you one, even if you don't eat them maybe you can use it for a ingredient for one of your spells or potions." She took the gorgeous purple apple from my bag and handed it to me. "These are the biggest ones I have seen, I just knew I had to get as many as I could." She finished. I was stunned that they thought about me enough to bring me a gift. I took the beautiful apple in my hands, holding it like it was precious. "Thank you so much little Ky, I cannot eat them unfortunately, they are just as toxic as to any other human. But I could use it for something." I replied, I had honestly thought of dipping it in wax for a keepsake, but instead placed it in my fruit bowl. "I have something for you as well! I had rummaged through my garden until I found the perfect flower that makes me think of you." I handed her a pretty purple flower in a yellow pot. "This is the hellebore, it is toxic so don't let any animals eat it. But it Is related to the buttercup and has been known to aid in many illnesses. But in honesty I saw it and thought of you." I said,
My eyes gleamed as I started at the gorgeous flower she handed me. Being extremely careful I don't break it. "I love it! It's purple just like my eyes! Thank you Noona! Darling, will you take it, your way better in control with your power than me right now." I asked, "Yes darling." He said as he took my flower for me. "Oh you asked why we were here, I forgot, actually we didn't just come to give you an apple, we thought it would be a nice bonus, so I think Satan should tell you he will be able to get it across then me." I began as I looked over and he nodded at me. "Lady Qet, we actually came today because Kyung is now a demon, and since this is our secret we are keeping from my brothers, I informed her she needs to start training to learn what abilities she has and learn to control them. Because if my uptight older brother catches any slight alteration in anything he will know something is up." Satan began, "I know it's very informal and brazen of us to ask when you have been quite courteous to my darling and myself, but we would like to know if you may give us some aid or any information about her abilities."
"Oh, I was unaware that this would be a secret. I am not a demon myself so I dont have first hand experience but I have lived in their realm for many years so I suppose I could help." They looked at me with hope in their eyes. "Alright Ky, how well have you gotten to controlling your emotions thus far?" I asked, "Umm good question, I am not all the way sure, I haven't had my emotions triggered to see." Kyung began, "I feel my energy, but it's just kind of there." "Alright, come outside with me." We went into the forest and I had Ky stand alone. "Now I want you to think of the time you were then most upset or angry, put it at the front of your mind." I began "Are you sure this is wise Lady Qetsiyah?" Satan asked, "Of course Satan, to know how to keep a person calm they must know what upsets them in the first place." He looked thoughtful at my words. We stood far back. "Alright Ky, go for it!"
I pondered for a few minutes, "Umm Lady Qet, I don't really know what made me angry, since my body changes I don't remember much of being a human anymore, just a few with my parents and my dog." I closed my eyes, it hit me when they died...I remembered it like it was yesterday...I had just came home from my recent semester of college, and I was in my brothers room playing, there was a knock at the door, and my brother and I looked out the window and saw this very skeptical man at our door. My brother and I, being the nosy people we are, decided to crack open his bedroom door and listened. "I think this is an offer you can't refuse, this is too good to pass up." The man said, "Maybe, but we are alright, and we appreciate your efforts, good sir." My father said, I felt my energy start to shift, that face of that man was forever burned inside my head, demon or human. After he left my brother and I watched him from the window, and he gave the most blood curdling stare anyone or anything could give. I wanted him to remember my face, my brother said after that day he was more aggressive with things. That started to make me rage more.
"Yes, just like that! Keep thinking about that!" I cheered, Satan took a step back but I stood my ground.
Then the day I just finished my graduation ceremony for my third year in college, I came home for a visit, because I missed them, and upon arriving at that little house on the corner, police and ambulance all over the block and around my house. I ran through the police tape to find my brother crying by my mother and father's bodies. He ran to me with tears in his face and cheeks puffy and explained to me what was going on. I felt the tears run down my eyes, and I clenched my first, my energy was swirling. I can feel it continue to shift. My brother told me they were making lunch and building a plane with my father, when my mother suddenly started coughing severely and coughing up blood, she collapsed to the floor and was gasping for air. My brother and my father raced to her side and tried to give her cpr, but it didn't work. Then when my father went to call the hospital he fell to his knees and my brother described he had massive sores on his body, and he was crying in agonizing pain, then suddenly they burst blowing huge holes in his body, tears really started to fall now. No kid should ever have to see that ever, no kid should have to hide in a closet in fear because he had no idea what the hell was going on. I felt my energy spiking. I knew who did this, I knew exactly who did this, that shady man who I am pretty sure is a fucking demon, it came across as he died in a accident, but I don't think so, if I ever find him my revenge will be sweet and painful. I couldn't control myself anymore. I screamed In anger and I felt my energy surge.
She transformed In a sort of explosion. I took a stick and drew a circle around the area affected by the surge in power. "Now whenever you feel you are about to transform because of emotion, be mindful of the circle because those standing in it may get hurt." I stepped closer to her as she was still in a rage, and I put my hands on each side of her face. "Now think of your happiest moment in your life, think of that to settle yourself down." I said,
My tears were still in my eyes. I did see the circle she drew and that was really far out where my energy hit. She placed her hands on my face and wiped my tears from my eyes. Now she wants me to think of the happiest moment of my life, I closed my eyes, and I submerged myself in my memories. My first official class day at RAD a year ago, I was having trouble focusing and getting the material, and I was in a rush and I ran into Satan not paying attention. Causing all of my books and notes to fall, I assumed he was going to be mad but he smiled at me and said "Oh no, here let me help." And he helped me pick up my things and placed them back in my arms. Then extended his hand to me and helped me up and said "Accidents happen, just be careful next time. See you later." My cheeks started to turn pink, then I could feel my energy flow not violently. I didn't know how to explain it, then I remembered at the end of RAD last year when Satan confessed about his interest in me and how he hadn't been feeling rage anymore, I felt my wings flutter in happiness.
Her energy changed from violent to happy, "Now if you change during times of happiness such as this you won't have to worry about hurting anyone. But in this case you cannot change at all. Now I want you to think of the calmest most serene moment and change yourself back." I said,
I took a deep breath. I focused on my energy, and felt it flow through me, it's almost like it was dancing with me. I steadied my breathing and started to think of all the times when Satan is holding me close to him in bed, my heart started to slow, and I didn't feel my wings behind me anymore. I took another deep breath and fluttered my deep violet eyes open. "Fantastic little Ky! " now that you know the differences you can learn to control them!." I hugged her close and squealed. "So what you must do is always think of that calm situation to keep yourself from changing." Qet praised, I nodded and smiled at her sweetly. "So it's all emotional based I see?" I asked, "Yes, you can change at will of course but when a demon's emotions are really strong they will tend to change as well." Qet said, She looked back and with lusty orange eyes whispered, "If you ever noticed your lover change during sex it's how you know hes really into it, that's what I hear the ladies say anyway." She said giggling, I squealed and blushed. I love when he changes, he demon form is so intoxicating, I can feel myself getting wet thinking about it he is so attractive. As a demon and when he gives his human appearance."Remember pet, you must stay calm, you have to let a man do the chasing once in a while; makes it more fun when he finally has you."Qet said, as she covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. She was really trying to make me blush. I could feel Satan was nervous about us giggling up a storm over here. "Hmm alright...what is next?" I asked,
Next you must learn to hone in on your surroundings, I believe this is a task all lifeforms should achieve. Come Satan you can participate too!" He slowly walked over still wondering what we were giddy about. I sat with my legs crossed and my hands in my lap. "I want you both to sit, close your eyes and open all other senses. What do you hear, what do you feel, what do you smell?" I asked them, "Oh! This is just like the morning yoga my mom and I use to do before school!" Kyung said anxiously, She sat down and crossed her legs facing Satan's gorgeous sea of emeralds and closed her eyes. And started to take deep breaths and open up to the world.
Satan and I focused our senses. "I could hear the wind swaying the branches." I took my hands and placed them palms down on the ground. "I felt the vibrations of creatures in the ground." I began, "Really? Odd, I feel the wild ghost riders roaming the deep outskirts plains of the Devildom. I also can feel the blooming of a new shrieking Lilly." He said, Damn, I forgot my darling Satan is really powerful so he can sense everything. His power is so sexy, I felt myself drool a little bit, but quickly shook myself out of it. "I want you to do this on a regular basis. To the point that you don't have to sit or focus on it. I can sense everything within A Half mile of my home and I know when they have bad intentions. So I know to either open my doors or defend myself." Qet began, "The more you work on it the better you will get, you will be able to know what animal is walking along and who is nearby. Keep trying Ky, what do you feel?" Qet asked, Hmm, I remember my mother used to tell me if you can't feel what's around you switch positions. We used to do yoga to be more in tune with ourselves and I was able to become really flexible. I took off my sneakers, so I could feel the ground of the Devildom. It felt much like damaged ground. Not sure if I should do this, but any time I have done yoga this was the pose where I felt everything. I am a demon now so maybe it's the same. I stood on one leg in the balance pose, inhaled deeply and brought my left leg back, then took my left hand and grabbed a hold of my left leg to bring it to a bend. I closed my eyes, Now focus Mei. I took another deep breath in. "Yes Ky very good. There is a river two miles west! I think once you hone them you will have a very wide range!" Qet praised,
I took another deep breath, and pulled my leg up farther to where it was almost touching the back of my head. "I hear...wait...really?" I asked confused, "I heard an adolescent ghost rider, they were lost on the plain from the rest of the herd, it's sad." I continued,
I clapped my hands with joy. "Amazing, simply well done! You have a quick learner Satan!" He smiled at Kyung with pride."Now for one last thing! Dante! Portinari!Veni ad me Ova deducere!" My hellhound came racing towards us, making Ky and Satan jump out of their skins. "Puppy! Can I hug him?" Kyung said excitedly, I was relieved that they were not afraid. "Of course you can, these are my familiars. The boy there is Dante and this beautiful girl is Portinari." They petted my baby's and each gave them an egg to hold in their hands. And I debated if I should tell them the truth, I began to feel nervous as my eyes turned gray. "Ooh dragon egg?" Kyung gleamed, "Lady Qetsiyah, what is the matter?" Lying asked, I began to panic as they both looked at me. "Oh...sweet Ky, I cannot help but feel responsible for the misfortune that befell you." I began, "Hmm? What do you mean Noona? Are you talking about our eggs? Is this like one of those parasites where if your soul is evil it will devour you?" She asked, "You see that Patinari and Dante are sweet dogs, I named them after a new book I was reading at the time. They had a litter of puppies just last year and that BASTARD!" I began, I felt rage engulf my body for a moment and my hands burst with hot pink flames. Making them both jump. Dante came and licked my face calming me as I hugged and thanked him. "The puppies they had were the ones who attacked you. He came to me six months before saying he needed protection from other demons and that he was lonely so for an exchange I gave him Romulus and Remus...thinking he would love them. I'm so sorry Kyung, I'd have refused him if it never would have happened!" I sobbed heartbroken, others usually to partake in my magic or possessions but never me. "That bastard Ipitar took my babies and never returned, I only knew of what he'd done when I felt their life force fade." I continued, "Noona, don't be sad he didn't deserve them. I know it hurts having to stop them, see I have a dog back on earth his name is Sanchul so I understand how precious they are." Kyung replied, "I will always be regretful for our actions upon them Lady Qet." Satan said, "Regardless the past can't be altered, it shouldn't have happened and if there was another way I know Satan would have done it. They will forever be a memory you won't forget. On a lighter note what are these eggs you gave Satan and I?" Kyung continued,
I sniffed and wiped my face. "Oh yes this task is both simple and yet complicated, it will take all of your strength and yet none at all, can you guess what it is?" I asked, "Good job showing weakness and being a buffoon." Hecate scolded, "You simply have to keep the egg and not break it. Your new powers are strong, stronger than you've ever been so you have to practice learning your own strength in order to function. Satan I figure you could show her the ropes?" I still felt sad and so embarrassed at my actions. But covered that feeling with a smile though my eyes were still gray as a cloudy sky. I noticed Kyung stared deeply into her shiny gray egg, afraid she would break it. "Don't look like that guys, all you have to do is take them home with you and keep them from breaking for three days. If you can handle that then I believe you will have mastered that portion." I said, As I clapped my hands together. "Right practice opening your senses, and controlling your emotions as often as possible. Is there anything else you need help with?" "Hmm Lady Qet, what if my egg hatches?" Kyung asked, "Oh, well if it hatches in would call that a win as well. But be careful I wouldn't know if you can keep baby dragons in your home. If not then you may simply bring them back here." I continued, Mei's eyes lit up. "So it is a dragon egg?" She said excitedly, making sure she doesn't get too excited causing the egg to feel the energy and break. "Mm-hmm. Just don't tell Diavolo if you decide to keep it, they can get big and he's secretly afraid of them " I put my finger to my lips. "No way!" "I cannot believe I am holding a baby dragon egg!" Kyung said excitedly, "Forgive me, but Lady Qet how would you know if he is afraid of them? He never mentioned to any of us that he was." Satan asked, "We are old friends, once we happened upon one and he screamed like a banshee! He was all Qetty, Qetty, we have to goooo! Ha ha! But he would never admit to it once we were away!" They looked amused and laughed a little. Oh I was so nervous to keep my new friends I was speaking on things I shouldn't.
Upon hearing her say those things made me laugh, however looking down my shirt I couldn't help but notice that the crystal had turned back to it's dark blue. Is she lying? Hmm I kind of had a feeling there was more to this than what was expected, I safely tucked my egg into the pouch that was padded in my backpack so it would t get broken. I know this training is going to take some time, but I wanted more. Honestly I wanted Satan to teach me something, I bit my lip at the thought of my hot tutor again, and I couldn't help but stare at him. "Darling, I have the basic on emotion and control, but we haven't done the basic in defence. I know that this is going to take some time, but I feel like I should learn the basics of fight or flight, which means I need my hot tutor for this." I said sexy like, He gave me his seductive smile I love so much. I wanted to grab a hold of him and just oooh, why does he drive me so wild! I was looking forward to my lesson.
