"Wake up." Sasha sang. "I made breakfast."

Y/N stirred then grabbed the blanket, pulling it over her head as if Sasha would disappear.

"Five more minutes."

"Nah, it's already noon and I made cheesy eggs. Wake up!" Sasha pulled the blanket off and Y/N opened her eyes, looking a little puzzled. "Cheesy eggs?"

"Yep, it's scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese on top, melted. It's good, Jade loves it."

Jade was Sasha's four year old daughter and she was very shy but very sweet.

"Okay, I'll get up and eat." Y/N told her. She sat up and stretched, feeling her joints pop from sleeping on an uncomfortable couch. Sasha skipped off to the kitchen to fix her a plate.

"Did you sleep good?"

"Yeah, I did. Thanks for letting me sleep over Sasha, I really appreciate it." She got up from the couch and gripped the blanket, starting to fold it up.

"No need to thank me, you're my bestie. I'll always be here for you, for anything you need." Sasha handed her a plate and took it, looking down at the delicious food and she didn't know how hungry she was until she saw the eggs. She sat down and looked up at the flat screen tv, seeing the news reporting about a crime at the shop Odd Things. The headlines read Four Found Dead.

"Whoa, turn this up please."

With a mouthful of cheesy eggs, Sasha turned up the television's volume with a black remote. "Two hours ago, a call to 911 was made from a woman in her forties describing the event that happened late last night. Authorities arrived on the scene find four unidentified bodies, police say this is an active investigation."

"Oh my god." Y/N whispered in disbelief. Sasha glanced at her to see that she was extremely pale.

"Do you know them?"

"I was there yesterday evening before I came into work."

"Why, were you getting your palm read? It's a weird place Y/N, some psycho probably got angry with his fortune and he went into a rage." Sasha told her then she skipped a channel.

Y/N thought she was right until she started to think about the situation she was in with the devil and why she went there in the beginning. It was odd that there was a murder hours before she was supposed to come back.

Did he do this on purpose?

Was he behind this?

Was he trying to scare her?

Sasha looked at her once she became silent, she looked deep in thought, scared and angry all at once, she hadn't even touched her food. "You okay?"

Y/N blinked and forced a smile at Sasha to throw her off. "I'm fine, just thinking."

"Well cheer up." She ordered. "How about we go shopping today? I don't have to pick up Jade from school until three. Plus, we're off work for tonight so we can party!"

"That sounds like fun but I should get back home in case the family needs me." Y/N set her plate down. "I'm going to freshen up."

"Alright." Sasha mumbled. She watched Y/N wander towards the bathroom suspiciously. "Yep. Totally pregnant."

Y/N splashed her face with cold water than looked at her reflection, sighing in distress. She was angry at the whole world, at the devil and especially God. God allowed this all to happen to her in her life without a care. He never gave her a father figure, he took her mother's life a month ago and he gave her Roman's soul so they could be soulmates or whatever you wanted to call it.
