Goddess Of Chaos

Chapter 16

"We got your invite." Katerina was in a beautiful white dress. It took your breath away but there was something wrong. Her left eye seems more closed up than the other. "Guessing you had Thing drop it in the tip jar?" Katerina shows you her invite, the border was black and the writing was a deep red that can be described as blood. 'Thing' must've used your red ink for the invite. "Good guess. After our last conversation, I wasn't sure I'd even get to speak to you again, but…" Wednesday was lying her ass off at least she got somewhat better at lying. You look at the distance between the barista and Katerina. You can see Katerina twitching every time the barista remotely looks at her. "Well, your note was so genuine and… sweet. Totally took me by surprise." You look to Wednesday to see her looking at Katerina. You feel like she has somewhat of an idea of what's happening. "Well now that I'm here, I'm glad I came. You need a few minutes?"

Wednesday begins to shut the door. You gently grab Katerina's hand and bring her into the room with y'all. "Hello, sweetheart." You get closer to Katerina and lightly brush her hair out of the way of her left eye. She squeezes her left eye shut when you bring your hand up to her face you gently caress under her eye. "I won't hurt you." You're afraid of what this means. You got a strong idea of why she's acting like this and on why her left eye is smaller than usual. "I won't force you to tell me but I can't help you if you won't let me." You caress her cheek, leaning down and lightly placing your lips on her forehead hearing her let out a content sigh. "I-i know just not right now. I'm sorry." You tilt her head up giving her a reassuring smile. "It's okay." She closes her eyes letting a tear slip from behind her eyelids and you wipe the tear away from below her eye bringing her in for a little hug.

Y'all sweet moment gets cut off by Wednesday ranting to 'Thing' about the note but Katerina doesn't seem to mind one bit she actually smiled at Wednesday. "Genuine and sweet? How could you do this to me?" Wednesday goes to her closet and starts rummaging through her clothes until 'Thing' snaps his fingers getting her attention. He points to a dress on her bed and turns to you, signing. 'Your suit is on your bed.' "How'd you pay for it?" 'Thing' shows his hand towards Wednesday making you realize he stole it. "Five-finger discount, of course. 'Thing', don't look." 'Thing' looks away and starts moving his fingers. Wednesday closes the closet door leaving it ajar.

You sigh knowing Katerina is going to think we don't want her here after that conversation, you bring one of Katerina's hands up to your lips, kissing as gently as you can, afraid you might hurt her even more. "I-If you don't want to go to the dance then that's fine. I can just go alone." You look into her stormy blue eyes seeing truly how fragile she really is. "Well, I can't leave one of my best girls all alone now can I?" You give her an award-winning smile and receive an adorable one back. "I'll be right back." You walk to the ladder and climb it when you get to the top you see a black suit on your bed with red designs on the vest. It was… there were no words to describe how amazing this suit is.

                         ●●●●●●●●

It's been a couple of minutes since you put your suit on and you were looking at the suit in a full body mirror to see how the suit looks on you to see it fits you perfectly in all the right places. It wasn't too tight or too loose, it was just perfect. You move to the end of the platform and slowly fly down trying not wanting to ruin the suit. You see Katerina standing at the same place you left her. She turns around when she hears your footsteps. Her face turns red with her mouth agape. She tries to push her glasses up only to realize they're not there because you're assume she's wearing contacts tonight. "Well, how do I look?" You do a 360 letting her see the full suit. "I don't think words can describe how breathtaking you look… but you're missing something." She grabs a red spider lily from out of her purse that you didn't realize she had but safe to say it complimented her outfit completely. "How? -how did I know what your favorite flower is? Let's just say a little birdie told me… May I?" You give her a little nod. She brings the flower up to your front pocket and tucks the flower in as carefully as she can not wanting to ruin the flower. "Thank you,  Katerina. Where's Wednesday?"
