The Human Hearted Imp

Chapter 57: Northern Lights and Meteor Aurora Part 1

One morning, Octavia is happily wide awake in her bedroom as she awakes from her sleep. She gets out of bed and circles a date on the calendar. It shows her and Stolas' face, and a meteor show. Octavia is excited because today, she is going somewhere special with her dad, and is very excited about it. Octavia fully gets dressed and hop down the hall pulling her boot.

She rushes into the kitchen and calls out, "Hey, dad!"

She soon notices that her father isn't in the kitchen. Empty, except for a few boxes.

He then leans back out of the kitchen and calls out, "Dad?"

Soon, she walks down the hall trying to find him as she calls out, "Dad?"

She soon notices the foyer door is open, and soon hears her father's voice, "Yes, I know!"

Outside of the mansion, Stolas is out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in his other hand. At the same time, the Imps are loading various items in a van.

Stolas continues to talk on the phone, "It will be there shortly. Of course they're being careful!"

Octavia walks out and asks, "Dad, what's going on?"

Stolas turns around and says, "Apparently your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions-"

And soon, Stella's voice can be heard screaming on the other end.

Stolas answers, "What? No! I'm not turning her against you- YES, Stella!

Through the phone, Stella screams, "Well now I never have to see your fucking face again!"

Octavia tries to get her dad's attention "Dad?"

Stolas however, is too occupied by Stella's screaming, "Everyone..." and continues to yell over the phone.

Octavia then asks, "This is going to be done before tonight, right?

"What?" Stolas replies.

Then turns to Octavia, "Oh. I hardly think so, knowing your mother this will take all weekend."

Stolas then turns to the Imps loading the stuff, "Don't be gentle about it now! Break whatever you have to to get it all in there!"

Stella screams over the phone, "What!? What did you just tell them to do?!"

"But tonight was supposed to-" Octavia tries to speak up.

However, Stolas says, "Darling, can we not talk about this now? Your mother's being a real B-I-T-C-H."

Over the phone, Stella screams, "What the fuck do you mean?!" and continues screaming.

And it appears that someone is laughing over the phone.

"Well, how was I supposed to know you can spell?! I've never seen you read!" Stolas angrily yells.

Stella continues screaming over the phone, "I'm going to take everything! Everything you own!"

Frustrated that Stolas forgot about tonight, Octavia storms into her room, slams the door, and begins yelling as she angrily topples her telescope, rips up the calendar page and throws it to the ground. After breathing after the outburst, Octavia sits on the couch as she hugs her knees. Soon tears begin to fall from her face.

Meanwhile, inside the halls outside of Octavia's room, Blitz is walking down the hall with Mimmy. Each of them is holding a small suitcase and a bag.

"I can't wait to see Auntie Candy and Uncle Tim and Andy again," Mimmy happily says.
