Prey for the Devil's Bloodied Angel Wings

Zena's POV

Acacia and I completed our final therapy session today. It went really well and we left stronger than ever. The group wanted to go surfing before we went home, so we did just that. We went to a surfing class and got in the water. All of us laughed when we'd periodically fall. Finn struggled to stand, Ellio kept getting water thrown in his face, and Hailey would always fall off. Acacia was like the only one who could properly do it. Vera drove around on the jet ski and would splash the boys.

Acacia and I gave our therapist a parting gift before leaving the island. Vera and Hailey wanted to take a boat to the mainland this time. We honored their request and then caught the flight back to Croatia. I sat next to Acacia this time. Acacia and I spent the majority of the ride discussing wedding plans.

"I want it this spring." I told her.

"Okay, what about cake?"

"Umm... I'm not a big sweet person. There better be pasta though."

"Obvi." She rolled her eyes. "So what are we going to do after graduation?"

"I don't know yet. What do you want to do?"

"Haven't really thought about it." She leaned back on her seat. "Like we both want to stay in the human realm, but where would we live? I don't want to stay in Croatia. I want to be somewhere that has a lush forest."

"US or Europe?"

"Maybe US to start out. We're in Europe right now, so something a little different. And you've never lived in the US either."

"No, I've only been there for short periods of time." I shrugged.

"We'll keep thinking." She leaned over to kiss me.

We enjoyed the rest of the flight and finally arrived in Croatia. We then had a driver take us to the campus grounds. Vera and Ellio were exhausted, so they bid us goodbye. I overheard Hailey whisper something raunchy to Finn, so they ran off. Acacia had a naughty smirk on her face as she guided me to our dorm. One thing led to another and we were naked... and then Yeira entered.

(This is when Yeira dragged them to Dr. Linda)

"Can you believe that?!" I still wasn't over yesterday.

"It's your sister, so no. I'm not surprised." Acacia continued making her green smoothie. "She's unpredictable and makes zero sense the majority of the time."

"I can't stand her. She's impulsive and reckless and-"

"Hey stuck-up and lesser twin." Yeira slammed open the door.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

"Lex suggests that I should make amends with you. So I'm extending the olive branch and inviting you both to a concert."

"If you're singing, then I'll rudely decline." Acacia passed her.

"Not me. An actual concert. Will you come, so I don't have to listen to Lex anymore?"

"Yei, I really-"

"Please! I'm trying to spend time with you." She made puppy dog eyes.

"Fine." I groaned. "Whose concert?"

"Doesn't matter. Let's go!" She pulled us out the dorm.

Lexi and Hailey were hanging outside. Hana handed them some sort of treat, which they gladly accepted. I asked Hana what concert we were attending, but she had no clue. Uh oh, that's not good. The last thing anyone wants is for Yeira to be planning an event solo. The six of us walked to the venue that had the artist name in LED lights.

"Kidz Bop?" I questioned.

"You're fucking kidding me!" Acacia rounded on Yeira.

"In collaboration with Jojo Siwa." Yeira corrected.

"You're insane." She sneered at Yeira. "I'm going home. That would be torture."

"Sister-in-law, I'm trying to build a healthy relationship with you and my sister." Yeira pleaded.

"She's a good actress." Lexi whispered to Hailey.

"Hana." Acacia tried.

"I actually have no idea who they are." Hana quickly spoke.

"Okay, fine. This is Yeira's idea. Just remember that." Acacia walked by us.

"Oh, Aqua?" Yeira mocked the nickname. "I got us all matching shirts." She deviously held them up.

Acacia looked exasperated. She glared my way before snatching the shirt from Yeira. Why am I the recipient of her glare? Acacia and Hailey somehow turned the kid friendly shirt into a crop top. Hana and I opted to tucking the shirt in so it wouldn't be soooo baggy. Yeira didn't care and Lexi found it funny that the shirt essentially swallowed her.

We entered and I immediately felt out of place. Hana and I whispered that it was pure children in here. Acacia crossed her arms and glared daggers at Yeira. If she could, Acacia would have steam exiting her ears when Yeira did Jojo's signature pony tail on her? I was lost, so Hana and I sat down. Acacia then disappeared with Hailey since she'd need a drink to get through this or something.

The adults gave us questionable looks since they had kids with them. Hana wondered why the concert was delayed, so Lexi commented that the kids must be having a temper tantrum. Lexi placed cat ears on Hana and my heads. She didn't touch Acacia based on the glare she received. Acacia used her compact mirror to help her apply lipgloss. The kids then came out and began playing their drums.

One of the kids played a guitar that wasn't even in the song. I faced Hana, who shot me an equally confused look. The singing was so bad that I flinched often. There was a dance competition that Lexi and Yeira somehow went on stage for. I covered my face since they were so embarrassing. Acacia smirked and recorded the entire thing. Jeez, please don't play this at my funeral. They tortured us for like 30 more minutes and then it was Jojo time.

The kids began chanting for Jojo Siwa. I felt like I was in the middle of a cult. Yeira flung her arms around Hana and my necks. She asked if we were having a good time, so we gave her the finger. Acacia sat down and FaceTimed Tatia, Cara, and Nat. When Jojo came out, Lexi and Yeira shouted out in excitement. Somehow there was a theme about finding Jojo's lost dream bow or something? I don't know. I was really lost.

Hailey was more interested in taking selfies since she believed she looked cute. I'm pretty sure Hailey doesn't even know where she's even at. Hana and I were confused why Jojo kept screaming. Can she speak at a normal volume? Acacia moved next to me and rested her head on my shoulder. I then heard her soft snores. She's really asleep right now? I turned to Hana, who shrugged and watched a Netflix movie.

"She's wearing Heelys!" Yeira and Lexi shook each other.

Jojo did stunts like walking on boxes and jumping around. Hana and I opted to leave for food. Yep, the best part of the concert was leaving it. We chatted for a little before heading back since the concert was almost over. Yeira and Lexi were jumping and dancing with the 8 year olds.

"Did we miss much?" I sat next to Acacia.

"No and I'll never get back those precious 2 hours of my life." She added with a bite.

"I'm ready to go." Hailey added.

"I was ready the moment I knew who the artists were." Acacia deadpanned.

"Should we interrupt them?" Hana pointed at the pair enjoying the concert.

"They'll find their way home." I shrugged.

"Wanna get some pancakes?" Acacia stood.

"Oooooh, I want French toast!" I beamed.

"Waffles for me!" Hana grinned.

"Alcohol." Hailey smirked.

"Let's go." We left the unsuspecting pair.
