SHE'S THE DEMON

13

Im back again with my normal schedule if one or two updates per day. The novel will conclude in a few chapters. In case anyone forgot, it's a short story.

So, let's get it.

“I can't believe you had the audacity to go on a date with Loren without telling us.” Vanya starts.

In all my years of being tortured, beaten, and abused, I never knew there was another form of pain and struggle. One that is superior to the two forms of pain I knew.

This one is different it doesn't do much harm to the physical body.  I have never been so emotionally drained and weak all because of this. The spirit can be affected but not broken.

It weaves its way through your body. it can be treated as a meaningless form of torture, but in the best hands, it's a powerful weapon.

"And we only get to find out, not even from you." Cassey continues. I have come to know what it truly means today, and let's just say I have been attacked so much that I wish my father had found this means of torture years ago. I would have given up fighting him.

"But from rumours trashy ones at ,that" Lory finishes.

This emotional torture is called nagging.
I never knew nagging could be a powerful weapon of torture, particularly to my ears.

It's certainly a new experience for me as I have been nagged for about 30 minutes of my lunch period by the entities I call friends. I feel my ears are about to fall off.

I sigh. "Do you want to hear the details about the date or not?" I ask, and the table goes silent at my question.

"Well, what are you waiting for? spit it out, " Vanya says.

I roll my eyes. Typical.

I told them about the date and how amazing the food was. I didn’t reveal too much about my feelings for Loren or his feelings for me. I gave them the appropriate and needful details of our discussions about me removing him from the stalking stage, Loren and i exchanging our numbers, and finally, him dropping me off at the bus stop.

They listened to me attentively, none of them breaking me off and letting me finish my narrative.

“So, questions?” I said, looking them in their eyes.

“Did you guys’ kiss?” Lory asks with shining eye.

“No, we didn’t sorry to ruin your fairy tale imagination” and even if we do kiss, I’m not telling I roll my eyes as Lory stares at me with watering eyes.

“Why not” she whines. I wince at the pitch she takes and look at the other girls, “Next”.

“Did you enjoy yourself?” Cassey asks, her gaze steady on mine. Cassey has her way with words, and she is an observer.

That’s one thing I have noticed since our meet-ups started. She makes sure you're comfortable enough to be open, and I am, just not around some leeches.

“Best night of my life” I say my gaze steady enough for her to withdraw hers as she says okay.

I look at Vanya waiting for her question. She puts her finger on her jaw, imitating deep thought, and I know there is nothing deep she is thinking about. there is just one question she will ask.

“Will you go on another date?” she final asks, and I smirk. I commend her smart tactic.

I nod “yeah, we will, but I’m not sure about the day yet. I just finished speaking with him and Jamie outside.” I clarify, causing Lory to squeal loud, and I turn to glare at her.

I have sensitive ears, you minx quit screaming. She gets my message and shuts her mouth.

“What about the rumours that have been going around?” Cassey asks, sipping her juice.

“Already taken care of. That’s what Jamie, Loren, and I were doing outside.”

Vanya raises her brow “Oh, how capable, and I was thinking we will find out who spread the rumours and how we will resolve it.” I roll my eye.

“True I would have appreciated the effort, but no progress would have been made if I waited till lunch time or the end of school.

Besides its obvious, the person who had spread the rumour all I had to do was just get a third party to clarify my movement and as well carry out the plan of action.

Jamie is a smart guy, and he got the message when I came to them. He followed along, and we were able to achieve something.

Now all that remains is to spread the rumour of what they heard us discuss in front of the cafeteria and boom we are cleared”.

I preferred if I was the one being dragged in the mud, not him. Loren is too sweet for that, and I will not let anyone harm him. They all stared at me with their mouths hung open.

“What?” I ask, ranging their gazes from surprise to capable. “Nothing we just didn’t expect you to handle it quickly without anyone’s help.”

I raised my brow, looking at them strangely. Of course, I can handle it. This is just a basic strategy that can be used by anyone.

Dana was not smart with her rumour powers because even with the law an alibi, third-party witness, or evidence, you can repel whatever case has been placed on you.

(I don’t really care for human law, but  it can work on both sides for demons and humans.) I didn’t even have to compel anyone, and it worked out properly.

“Well, I did, not alone. Of course, I had Jamie and Loren’s help.” I say, crossing my arms and trying not to boast about my abilities.

I was kinda lucky to meet them with a crowd watching. But what is one to expect from teenagers who love drama? Give them a good play, and they will talk about it all day.

“I’m glad it’s been resolved so, that’s that. There is a free period after lunch. Let’s hang out in a free classroom.” Lory offers. We agree and continue to eat our food in a comfortable silence.

This is a short chapter in Reya's pov.

Thoughts?? We saw how capable Reya was in this situation and how she protected her man. She also discovered a new form of torture😅😂 I'm sure Nagging isn't that bad for some people, right?

Let me know through your comments. Like and vote. See you with Loren's pov soon

Also, what chaoter do you think they will kiss in. I like me some curiosity

Bye
