I feel like I made one part of this chapter a bit too dark.
So, disclaimer for implied torture.
Enjoy.

"Dear diary, it's been 17 years since I was reborn as Alyssa Pandora, daughter of two now petrified wild witches in the demon realm and recently Luz finally arrived in this realm a while ago! The story can begin for real!" Said Lyssa cheerfully.
An eerie smile made its way onto Lyssa's face.
"I can just imagine the look on her face as I give her skin a few trims here and there." Said Alyssa as her smile grew more sinister and her eyes turned red before both her Palismen flew to her shoulders snapping her out of her imagination. "Oh, of course, I won't hurt that innocent little marshmallow. Back in my old life, they killed me because I was 'dangerous'. But here, I can be whoever I want. The least I can do is leave this world's future savior unharmed."
The Palismen calmed down upon seeing semi rational thoughts coming from Lyssa's mouth.
"How worrywarty were my parents to make such worrywart Palismen." Said Lyssa cheerfully as she hugged her Palismen before she heard an alarm. "Ooh, gotta go! Stay safe!"
Lyssa quickly picked up her bag, took her healing track uniform and left her house for Hexside, her school.
And today was a special day.

"Hey, Lyssa, tomorrow's the day they'll announce the new plant coven head." Said an illusion student sitting with his friends..
"Oh, well it's about time. The plant coven can't stay without a head forever." Said Lyssa in a soft tone as she passed by.
"Yeah, that's cool and all but have you ever wondered who the murderer is?" Asked the student. "They must be pretty powerful to take out a coven head so easily."
"Hmm, maybe it's all a hoax and Terra is somewhere out there hiding from ex boyfriend!" Exclaimed Lyssa cheerfully.
The student laughed. "You and your conspiracy theories." He said as Lyssa laughed along cheerfully.
Alyssa waved to the student and his friends as she walked away.
She had many friends at school. In fact, she was on friendly terms with nearly all the school. From the lowest bunch to the best of the best. They were all her friends.
So, as she made her way to school, she waved to all with a cheery smile until she saw her, the protagonist herself Luz Noceda inside the school disguised as a humble abomination.
Without hesitation, Alyssa dashed towards her with a big smile disregarding any consequences this action might have.
"Oh my titan, is that a human?" She asked excitedly.
Willow, the one who brought Luz to school, and Gus, her friend, both turned to Alyssa in a panic.
"Uhh, human? What human?" Asked Willow nervously.
"Why human?" Asked Gus nervously.
Alyssa saw the two's nervousness and realized that she got a little too excited. She decided calm the two down by letting out a soft giggle.
"Don't worry, sillies. I'm not gonna snitch. You can tell me." She said with a wink.
Willow and Gus's expressions changed instantly before Luz decided to speak.
"Uh, who are you?" She asked in confusion.
Willow replied immediately. "Luz, this is Alyssa Pandora, the most powerful witch of this generation. She's someone who mastered all types to magic and is headed towards the emperor's coven!"
"The only reason she isn't there yet is because an accident happens every year that stops her from attending the auditions." Added Gus cheerfully.
"Hey, I can always study more magic. Luck is harder to come by." Said Lyssa cheerfully.
"Woah, like Eda!" Exclaimed Luz with starry eyes.
"The owl lady? Big fan of her. She's the only bad girl this nerd can look up to." Said Lyssa patting Luz on the head with her eyes closed. "See you around, Luz the human."
The trio waved to Alyssa as she left with her eyes shut tight. The moment she turned around her eyes opened to reveal blood red irises.
"Calm down, she's only fun in one piece." She whispered to herself as her breathing got faster and faster.
"Human?" Alyssa heard a familiar voice say. "Is half a witch Willow trying to cheat?"
The blonde turned around to see that Boscha had seen the whole interaction because of her.
Alyssa frowned as she silently glared at Boscha with blood red eyes. Her breathing got faster and faster.
She walked up to the three eyed bully with a smile. "Boscha, can please keep everything you saw a secret?"
"Pfft, why would I do that?" Asked Boscha mockingly. "Half a witch Willow is the one cheating."
"Because she needs a win." Said Alyssa with a smile. "Everyone does. That's also the nice thing to do."
Boscha laughed at Alyssa's words as she headed towards her classroom. But before she could leave, she heard Alyssa speak in a dead serious tone.
"If you keep acting so mean, no one will be there for you when you really need it."

A period passed and it was time for lunch.
"I can't believe that little-" growled Alyssa in a whisper. "I can't let her mess everything up."
Alyssa consistently stared at the triclops clenching her fists. Did she tell her friends? Did she tell any teachers?
Only SHE could mess with the story, NOT anyone else. It was HERS.
Luckily, it didn't seem that anything's changed.
That's what she thought until Bump arrived at the scene.
"This was to happen LATER." Whispered Alyssa angrily.
As Luz ran away from Amity Blight and the principal with Gus and Willow, Alyssa secretly followed her like a hawk under an illusion spell.
Helping the trio as Bump activated the school's defenses. Deactivating barriers here and there.
All just to get that scene with Willow and the seed. Which she did. Luz and co were cornered and the only way out was for Willow to uncover her potential.
Alas, as Willow was about to use the seed she got from Luz, Boscha burnt it with a fireball causing Alyssa to nearly lash out and kill that damned triclops right then and there.
But luckily for everyone, Lyssa noticed that the seed wasn't completely dead yet. She healed the tiny seed with a magic circle and telekinetically threw it over to Willow who knew what to do.
Giant vines spread throughout the school, recking the place and giving Luz and Co a chance to escape.
With no more threats to Alyssa's control over the story, she turned to the one who caused this mess.
She followed the three eyed girl until she was out of both Amity and Bump's sight and snatched her away using plant magic before taking her place.
"Amity! Stop!" Said Alyssa softly, causing the abomination user to stop.
This gave Willow the chance to get Luz out of the building. Seeing this, Alyssa turned to Amity with a soft smile.
"It's over, Amity."
"But i-"
"I know. Losing grades because of something outside your control is horrible." Said Lyssa. "It happened to me so many times. I would've been in the emperor's coven years ago if not for that. But lashing out won't do a thing. I know that. So how about we do the right thing and leave it to Principal Bump. You can get back your grades with some extra credit *wink* I'll help."
Amity paused before begrudgingly agreeing to Lyssa's idea.
"Great! I just need to finish a personal project. I'll meet you tomorrow." Said Lyssa cheerfully as she walked away.
"Wait- where's Boscha?" Asked Amity in confusion.
Alyssa shrugged. "I don't know, maybe she got bored and left."
And with that, the story was back in Lyssa's hands. But there was one thing left to do.
The green- no, red eyed girl disappeared into the hallways unseen by eyes and entered a room far from the others. A room left unused by the school.
A room where a tied up Boscha sat down.
"Lyssa! Willow's weird plants dragged me here and tied me up!"
"...they weren't Willow's." Said Alyssa calmly as she drew a magic circle and covered her hand in flames.
"What?" Asked Boscha in confusion. "Then who's-"
Boscha couldn't finished before Lyssa's burning hand was pressed onto her third eye as it's nails dug into her forehead.
Boscha screamed in pain before Alyssa removed her hand with a sadistic smile.
Boscha stared at Lyssa's expression with tears in her eyes. "W-why are-"
"Shh, this is what happens when you mess with MY GAME." Said Alyssa as she pinched Boscha's cheek with her burning hand. "Only I get to know spoilers, GOT IT?"
Boscha didn't know what was going on and quickly nodded, hoping to escape quickly.
"Great! Now that you know your lesson, let's etch it into your body."
Boscha's heart sank upon hearing those words and appeared from her expression causing Alyssa's smile to grow bigger.
"Don't worry, your brain won't remember a thing." Said Alyssa as she licked her lips.
"HELP! ANYONE!" Boscha cried for help.
"I already told you, no one will be there for you when you need it-" Said Alyssa as she held Boscha's head close to hers. "-except me."
If one were to pass by that room they wouldn't hear a thing. But if they were to listen very closely, they would faintly hear maniac laughter and screams of pain. They would hear blood splatter over walls and floors. They would hear bones crack over and over. They would hear begging and apologizing.
If one were to listen closely, they would hear a nightmare.

Later.
"Ugh, where am I?" Asked Boscha as she woke up on a dirty floor.
"Boscha! Are you okay? I've found you unconscious under this really heavy supplies shelf." Said Alyssa innocently. "This was really dangerous! I need to talk to Bump about this!"
Boscha felt a blaring headache course through her brain. "Must've fell on my head."
"I did what I could." Said Alyssa looking very worried for Boscha. "I'm really S̵̫͈͙̠̝̎̂͊̐́͊̋͋̔̇̂͝o̶̧̡͖̫̻͕̣̫̞̣̯̲͙͚͙̖̻̖̒̑̄̎ͅr̴̩̤͈͕͈̱͖͖̤̪͕̉͜r̴̢̢̧͍̻͙̦̪̻̠̝̩̟͚̓͋̓̏͂͊̒̈́̈́̆̃̔͑̌͆̉̄͗̽̚͘͜͠͝y̴͔̫̭̮̲̠̬̣͇̞͔͙̓͂̾͌́̽̿̑̆̈͛̈́̈́̑̾̈̚͘ͅ."
Boscha's body froze as she heard the word sorry. For some reason, she faintly heard her own voice overlap with Lyssa's.
"Are you okay?" Asked Alyssa innocently as she extended her hand to the triclops.
Boscha saw Alyssa's hand and her body immediately because tense. She felt danger. Every inch of her body was yelling at her to RunRunRunRunRunRun.
But Lyssa was the nicest person in school, she wasn't dangerous.
"B̸̧̠̜̙̙̺͙͙́̋͛̑̒̔̀̍̉́̃̓̀͂͋̃͝͠o̷̢̦̘̬̼̣̟͙̩̥̼̼̮̦͍̟̤̿̇͌̄ͅs̷̨̛͈̺̖̹̯̰͎͔͔͒̀͐̅̍̓̓̀̈͒̈́̽̉͊̂̚̕͠ͅc̷̨̛͓̮̯̦͈͚̰̉̆͛͑̋̓̈́̈́͗͛͌̎͂̃̂̋͌̎͌͋͂͝͠ͅḧ̸̨̢̢͕̼͕̘̜̪͓̥̮̯̖́̄̀̋̈́͌̚̕͝ͅá̸̜͎͈̖̳̯̟̼̗́̂́̏̅̄̃̈́̃͝͝ͅͅ" said Alyssa worriedly causing Boscha to panic.
"I'm fine!" Said Boscha nervously. "I just need to go."
And so, Boscha ran as fast as she could and never looked back.
Seeing this, Alyssa smiled happily.
"You shoulda watched out." Sang Alyssa cheerfully. "You shoulda watched out."
