Waiting for the night to come. The scariest part of living in a world where you are well aware that demons exist. Lukyo wishes that she could go out and buy a night-light but they're only allowed to go out to get groceries and only very few pharmacies are left open. The most entertaining thing that Lukyo could think to do is to open the window and hear the sound of the rain and smelling it, waiting for the day to end. She's barely eating, she doesn't want her mom to force-feed her so she hands it to the neighbour's cat.
Searching in her father's book for an answer but she can't seem to find anything that mentions demons. She starting to wonder if her father even knew that a demon's reality could merge with out own.
The phone rings pulling her out of her stagnant world of solitude.
'Lukyo! I'm in the bathroom, I can't answer it.' Her mother shouts.
She wants to rush downstairs but needs to put her book back into it's hiding place. It's hard to walk at all in this room, she hasn't really had the motivation to clean up either and nearly trips on her own clothes.
'LUKYO! THE PHONE!'
She hides the book under the bed covers and rushes to the phone.
Angel calls her on the phone to talk, she's so happy that he called but things are taking a wrong turn. They're now arguing about whether or not they should be locked in or not.
Her mother comes out of the bathroom and heads upstairs. Lukyo knows that around this time in the morning her mother always makes her bed. It's always been like this, it's like second nature to her. She doesn't even have to think about it.
'Oh God. A-Angel, I gotta go. I'll call you later.' She smashes the phone like a hammer on a nail.
'Mom! Mom! Mom! Hi! Hey! Stop!' Lukyo catches up to her on the stairs. 'Can you please clean my room later?'
'...What did you do?' Her mother looks at her with dead eyes.
'Nothing. Mom. I just want to spend some time relaxing in my room.' Lukyo is so good at lying and sounds so convincing, sadly that's something she learned from her mother so she's not buying into it.
'Three, two.'
Lukyo inches back a meter before she gets a chance to even say the final number.
Her mother notices the big lump under the covers.
If I run I might be able to live. I'm more scared of my mom than I am of demons. I'm done with magick. Look where it's gotten me. One bad thing after another.
