diary of a living dead girl

witches gambit

Lydia wasn't surprised to find no one home. Except for Adam and Barbara who sat on the couch. She walked in and tried to head up the stairs quickly. "Hang on, hang on are you home early" Adam asked, running out into the foyer. The girl exhaled rather harshly. "Yes I have some stuff that needs to get done and we were doing revision of the text book" she lied through clenched teeth. 

"Hmm alright but if you fail this semester um....we'll hide the sweets from you" he warned. Lydia face palmed from the second floor "Oh Adam" she whispered to herself. "That's right no sweets missy" Barbara added. The mortal ignored them, walking down the hall to her room. She threw her bag on the bed then threw off her jacket. Taking off her skirt and button up rather quickly. Just wanting to get all of it off. Now standing in her room in her black corset with red feather pattern over top. And her silk red boxers.

She kicked the pile of clothes she had on the ground in her frustration of the day. Turning to her closet to grab something to wear. Selecting a black dress with the zipper in the front and decretive leather straps lining under her chest. Two more straps crossed over her stomach, splitting where the zipper was. It flowed over the middle of her thigh. She turned to her dresser once she was dressed. She stopped walking when she saw her mirror. Sitting in the glass was a green haired Demon. Smiling so wide it showed off both sets of teeth. Lydia was shocked at first then angry as she walked over to him. 

"You should of announced you were there" she warned him. "An what ruin the show, so still wearin corsets huh, Afta yuh neart death experience" he chuckled. Reminding her of the time she stopped breathing because of a corset. She slouched the best she could in the thing. Letting her shoulders fall. 

"Not near enough" she grumbled. Ignoring the man now as she grabbed her bag to start studying. "Well they do take my breath away" he laughed again at his joke. But Lydia wasn't having it this time. She was tired and annoyed. The mortal almost growled.

"You're the worst" she told him. His smile fell in an uncaring way. Like he didn't care that she insulted him. "Is that any way ta talk ta ya bfffff, an afta I came all this way ta see ya" he attempted to guilt. The girl placed a hand on her hip. 

"What do you want" she demanded. "Pf I'm bored, I got all these errands ya see an thought eh might as well take Lyds along might be interestin" he played coly. "Thanks but no thanks I'm not in the mood" she turned away from him. He smiled at her back. 

"Come on babes, I'll but ya somethin pretty. Anythin ya want. Money's no object" he told her. Lydia tossed her book on the floor. Turning to the man with so much rage in her eyes he actually stood up straight. 

"I am not a prize to be won over. I am not a gold digger and I do not need earthly possessions to feel good about myself so stuff your offer where-" She yelled at the mirror. Her fury being interrupted by Barbara's soft voice calling out. 

"Lydia are you alright. What are you yelling at" the specter asked. "MYSELF" Lydia screamed back. She turned away from her door and her mirror. Moving into her room to take a deep breath. Feeling the sting of tears in her eyes. 

"Whoow babes. Ya need ta relax. Come take a walk with me on the other side" the demon spoke. Lydia sank in her stands again as she groaned. Knowing he was right for a change. She did need to get out. The house was suffocating and school was even more so. There was no breathing room to work out her emotions and situations. She sighed and slowly turned around. Dragging herself to the mirror. 

"I suppose anything's better then staring at my screen for hours. But you don't have to buy me something. I'm not a gold digger Beej you don't have to buy my time or bribe me" she explained more calmly. The demon blinked at her looking shocked for a moment. The left side of his face raised in a half smile as he looked away almost bashfully.
