Flaws and Repercussions

Morning After

I woke up once again to Penelope's annoying voice.

"EMMALINE! WAKE UP!" she yelled directly into ears. On reflex I immediately slapped her in the face with a resounding smack. Her hazel eyes opened wide in shock, and I was definitely fully awake now. I sat up in my bed waiting for her to do something. Instead of calling for David, which I thought she would do, she narrowed her eyes. You're gonna wish you have never done that.... She thought. Oh, Christ.

"Emmaline. Why would you do that?" Penelope said slowly.

 "You yelled in my damn ear. I'm not just gonna take that." I replied just as slowly.

"Oh, now the little baby is trying to be tough."

"Shut up. I am not a baby."

"You are. I heard you crying like a little bitch all because my daddy mentioned your dead papa... Why don't you just get over it."

"Why don't you just get over the fact that Sebastian will never want you." That last comment set her off.

"YOU WHORE! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM!" She looked ready to blast me into a million pieces as I could feel her magic starting to crackle in the air. Alright, now I have two options. Option 1: Tell Penelope how Sebastian kissed me or Option 2:  Don't tell her, and miss an excellent opportunity.

I decided on Option 1.

"Well he kissed me, and it felt amazing." I said with no shame. Her reaction was both frightening, and priceless at the same time. Her eyes opened incredibly wide, and her mouth practically dropped to her feet. Both of her hands were clenched to her sides, and her magic had come to a complete halt. She stood like that for a couple of minutes. Penelope.exe has stopped functioning....

Taking advantage of her shock I gathering my clothes, and walked to the bathroom. I locked the bathroom door just to be safe. After I had already turned on the water did she finally snap out of it. I could hear her yelling over the rushing water. "DAMMIT! YOU WHORE! HE IS ONLY FOR ME!"

She went on like this for a few minutes. I thought she was gonna break down the bathroom door, and pull me out of the bathtub by my hair. Instead I heard her stomp back to her room, and slam her bedroom door. Her thoughts were full of self-pity, and general bullshit, so I guess she's going down the depressed route first. I should probably feel bad, but Penelope had it coming. I think it's a good payback for the damage done to my wall. After I finished putting on my regular jeans and t-shirt I tiptoed to Penelope's door I could hear her muffled cries. I couldn't help but give a slight smug smile. Who's the baby now?

As I walked back to my bedroom I looked out the window to see that the sun hasn't risen above the horizon yet. I also finally noticed that I couldn't hear my mother's or David's thoughts. They had probably gone to work. That's why Penelope hadn't called for David...I'm actually glad for that. I should go and make breakfast for myself, but that plan came to a halt immediately.

Why?

Because a big-ass, heavy duty lock was keeping the refrigerator closed. I should have anticipated that. Well there's nothing else for me to do so I think I'll go, and visit Sebastian. I grabbed my school bag, trusty leather coat, and my keys. I walked into the brisk cool air and locked the front door, and began my walk to the Mara sanctuary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm glad I remembered where he lived. I walked to the front door, and knocked as loud as I could on the front door as the lights were out. After a few minutes I could hear the sounds of someone coming to the door. 

The door opened a crack to reveal the face of Lydia, a pale-skinned attractive woman with bright forest green eyes, and long black hair. Sebastian has always had one hot mom. Anyway, her face immediately brightened when she recognized me. "Emmaline, it's so nice to see you again." she said, her voice as sweet as honey. Oh god, her succubus aura is extremely enticing. Must. Not. Hit. On. Sebastian's. Mother. "It's nice to see you too." I said. Without responding Lydia opened the door wider, and motioned for me to come in.

As soon as I walked into the entrance hallway I heard the front door close and Lydia say "You must be here for Sebastian." I nodded in reply. "I'll go wake him up, and tell him you're here." she said as she began walking up the stairs, and I couldn't help but watch her as she walked up the stairs. Damn he really does have one hot mom. 

I took a seat in the living room, as I heard the sound of Lydia trying to get Sebastian up. Which I know from experience is an incredibly difficult thing to do. That demon could sleep through a damn earthquake. Wait, what time is it? I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was around 5:00. How early did Penelope wake me up? I guess I'll never really know with my horrible concept of time. After a few minutes I heard both Lydia, and Sebastian coming down the stairs.

"I'll go make breakfast." Lydia said as she walked further down the hallway to the kitchen. After his mother disappeared into the kitchen Sebastian glared his green eyes in my direction. His waist-length black hair was in a messy high ponytail, he wore a plain white t-shirt, and black boxers.....patterned with seahorses. I am definitely going to tease him about that later. He walked towards me and sits his seahorse-decorated ass right next to me. He's still glaring at me with his green eyes, and I notice he has dark circles under his eyes. I glare at him with matching ferocity. We stay like this for a few minutes, and I smell breakfast cooking which automatically reminds me....

"You have a hot mom." I say out loud. Sebastian doesn't give any recognition to my comment before asking "What happened yesterday?" I really wanted to completely avoid that topic. "I don't want to talk about it." I say with a steely edge in my voice. Before he could try and press me into telling him Lydia yelled "Breakfast!" 

"Lucky..." he said softly.

"I know right."

We all sat at the table in relative silence as we ate. Lydia looked as young as she did the first time I met her, and not in the least tired. Sebastian on the other hand looked about ready to fall asleep at any second. For a house filled with demons everything is surprisingly quiet and not what you'd expect of spiritual abominations. Or maybe it's because it's so early. I wonder what's going on in their heads. I can't hear any of their thoughts, so I guess it's normal that I can't hear the thoughts of demons.

After we finished Lydia took our plates and ushered the both of us into the living room. Sebastian immediately plopped onto the couch and yawned. The little birdy was tired. I poked him on his cheek which caused him to look up at me, and give a small groan. I looked at the wall clock again and it read 5:50. I should get going if I want to get to White Light Academy on time to avoid another detention. "I have to go." I stated simply, looking at Sebastian.  He groaned and said "Well, try not to get another detention, or kiss any other friends." It's shit like this that makes me wanna punch him.

"Shut up." I said walking towards the front door.

Sebastian followed behind me, sluggishly.

"Bye, Lydia!" I yelled as I opened the front door. 

"Bye, Sebastian." 

"Yeah, yeah whatever. See you later, maybe." He said before he shut the front door after me.

Great, now I have to deal with White Light Academy for a few days. 

I began my trek to White Dick Academy, as the sun finally began raising itself over the horizon.
