Chapter Four: The Girl Is The Devil
Veronica returned to her so called 'home', shutting the door behind her with a quick slam. She doubled heck her 3 door locks and then stood there, her back pressed against the door as she sighed in relief.
"What a fucking night this has all turned out to be..."
She muttered, looking to see the white fluff ball come over to her.
"Too bad my little man wasnt there, huh?"
She said, bending down to pick up the cat.
"You would have protected me from the creepy man, wouldnt you sweety? Yes huh, yes you would."
She smiled, speaking in that cute little baby voice while scratching under his chin. He only replied with a soft purr.
"Guess I should find a better line of work huh? Never gonna get very far by just looking hot...well...less I was a model or somethin..."
Suddenly a thought crossed her mind, she surely had a few connections to a couple businesses, it was New York after all there had to be something around for her to get into. She shook her head, that would never work. One she wasnt tall enough...only standing at 5 foot 2, not to menion the fact about her junk eating habits. Maybe the cafe? She certainly had a way with people and is always friendly...but she lacks the attention span to take orders and remember them at the same time.
"Well, what do you think Angelo? What should mommy's new job be?"
She said as he jumped out of her arms and onto the back of the couch. She walked around, taking her jacket off still in her old work costume, and sat on the couch turning the TV on. As usual...the news was on, rambling about the same thing like they do night after night after night...except one thing stood out...
"What the Holy Hell is this?"
Veronica arched a thin brow, turning the TV up some as Angelo jumped into her lap.
"Tonight a young boy was saved from his 37th floor apartment home as it was set to fire, officals say it was all started after the boy's mother turned her attention away from the microwave, which caused an electrical fire. Both mother and son were saved by our citys newest hero, the DareDevil."
She sat, leaned forward to the TV, petting Angelo as he sat in her lap.
"Hm...well thats interesting. Since when the fuck does a guy dressed in a stupid fucking devil costume, come off as a symbol of good?! Im sorry but excuse me? Is the city of New York all Athiests or somethin? Where was I when everyone converted huh? Oh this is some fucking bullshit..."
Angelo suddenly dug a claw into her leg.
"Ah! What? Jeez..."
The cat just looked up at her, his tail swaying behind.
"What, what is it? You want me to be some freeky deeky super hero woman or somethin?"
Thats it! Instead...be a super villian? Why not, shes a woman...she can just talk herself out of any trouble, besides its not nice to hit girls anyway. It would surely help pay the bills and maybe move herself out into a nicer place.
"Angelo...I think you might have a good idea there."
She smirked.
An Hour Or So Later
Veronica paced back and force in her bedroom. She wore her normal bed get-up consisting of a long oversized Tshirt and fuzzy socks which oddly had matching underwear instead of matching bra.
"Ok...well since the only kind of costume I have is my old work outfit...and my sewing skills suck ass...I'll have to become some kinda devil lady...or uh...somethin...but I'll need a name."
She paced to the left, Angelo watching her as he sat ont he bed.
"Lady Satan?"
She shook her head.
"Little Miss Devil?...Nah, that sounds like Im some kinda devil food cupcake or somethin."
She paced to the right.
"Satanika?!...Eh, too flashy...Lady Gothick? Or...Gothique? Nah, thats gay..."
She turned, now paceing left again. Angelo was gnawing at the remote and accidently switched on the TV that sat on her dresser across the room. It turned to the History channel where they were doing a segment on the infamous 'Jersey Devil'
"It has been said that the Jersey Devil is a horrible beast that lives far out in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. There have been several stories of it origin, but locals say the horrid thing mostly leaves others well enough alone until feeling threatened or when the monsters space has been infiltrated."
"Thats Perfect! Thats me! Only...uh...Im not some crazy deformed airy beast living the woods of Jersey...but hey! That name works out good enough, right?"
She giggled, pouncing onto her bed and grabbing the cat.
"Oooh mommy loves her little kitty soo much, yes she does yes she does! Whos the smartest itty bitty baby kitty in tha whole wide world?! You are! Yes yes yes you are sweety little kitty cats!"
She said in that baby tone of voice, cuddling the cat.
"Thats it then...everyone has heard the story of the Jersey Devil, fuck that brings in a majority of our visitor population. Once they hear the name, everyone will just have to freak out. I'll run this entire city on my own! 'hehe' Im from Jersey, and I got that little devil costume? It was so obvious! ...But why didnt I think of it in the first place...?"
She blikned, the cat looking at her blankly.
Ta-Da! And she is born. You can thank the random white cat for that I guess. Anyhoo, sorry it took so long to update, busy for the Holidays and whatnot. Reviews please! Toodles!
