Metamorphosis

Chapter 6 : Roommate

Before Lucia could finish her sentence, Abbe's phone rang. he wanted to ignore it but he still answered it. Lucia stopped and continued reading her comics, shyly and awkwardly. 

"Abbe, It's Casey. Meet me at your house"

 "How did you get my number, How do you know where I live"

 "Irrelevant questions. Just come to your house"

 "I'm kinda in something important"

 "Want to know more about that amulet or not"

"I-I- I do It's just.."

 "Be here or I'll just leave"

 She hanged up and Abbe held his phone and looked at Lucia.

"Gotta go ?" She asked disappointingly. 

"Uh..Yeah. Mind finishing off that answer ?" He asked anxiously. 

"You should get going" She said as she looked away and configure her glasses.

 "Umm, Bye. See you soon"

 "Good bye Abbe. See you soon"

"Don't you mean Peter" Abbe said with a smile as he headed to the door. 

She giggled a little and then said  "Farewell Peter. Can't keep the Daily Bugle waiting". 

Abbe laughed a little and left. Abbe rushed home and arrived to the sight of Casey looking around his house. 

"How the hell did you get in here !?!?" He asked ferociously.

 She turned around with a photo in her hands. It was a photo of Abbe at his graduation with his foster parents. 

"Happy faces....Fricking stupid" She said as she put it back on the shelf with all his other photos. 

Abbe growled and commanded her to sit on the couch. She sighed and sat. He sat opposite to her and looked at her. 

"What ?" She asked as she looked at him. 

"Answers. Now" He said . 

"Alright....Let see. There are 5 amulets, Each with different markings. The markings are demonic tongues"

"Always something demonic..." Abbe interrupted. 

"Shut up and let me continue" She commanded him. 

He growled and folded his arms.

"Now these amulets were worn by Lucifer and his generals when they wage war on God for supremacy.When Lucifer lost and 1/3 of heaven got banish, the amulets got scattered around the earth. For centuries, mortal men fought over it's power. Not just mortal men, but the angels and demons. The amulets possess supernatural powers, granting the user an immense amount of existential abilities."

 "Wow...And I have one now" 

Abbe,astonished, held his amulet and looked at it. 

"You are using it unprofessionally. Just killing without proper guidance" Casey said as she stood up and walked in front of Abbe. 

She moved closer towards him and looked into his eyes. Her lips was almost touching his. She slowly moved closer, at the brink of locking lips. She pulled out his knife and slashed his cheek.He got furious and held on to the side of his face. 

"What the fricking hell !?!?!" He shouted as he felt a burning sensation from his face. 

She pulled his hands away and touched his face. The cut was gone leaving only a mark. 

"It's getting there...you have some work to do. I'll stay here for the night" She said as she walked away.

He growled and said "Fine. Are you gonna keep that clothes on ?"

 "I'll just wear a shirt from you or something" She said reluctantly. 

"Ugh. Go take a shower and get one of my shirts" He said as he rubbed his cheek.

 She walked up to him and softly slapped his face saying "Good little devil". She then walked towards his bathroom. Abbe then sat on his couch, still rubbing his face and contemplating his abilities. 

"So, I'm basically a demon ?" He said to Casey.

 "In a sense, You're a devil" She said from the bathroom as the water fell to the ground. 

"I'm a devil.." He said to himself. 

The water stopped running and Casey came out in a towel and headed towards his bedroom. After a while, She came out in a T-shirt with the iconic Luke Skywalker and a boxer shorts. Abbe turned around and looked at her. 

"Is everything you're wearing mine?" he asked as he scanned her. 

"Sure. Whatever" She responded reluctantly and stretched. 

"Are you tired ?" Abbe asked with a yawn. 

"No crap Sherlock" She answered back.

 "Alright you go in the bedroom, I'll stay on the couch" He said as he fell onto the couch. 

"Whatever" She said as she walked to his bedroom and closed the door.

 Abbe then said to himself "So I'm a devil...in a house with another devil".

 "I heard that!!!" Casey shouted. Abbe smiled and closed his eyes, Embracing the darkness....
