Hidden Horns

She's Changing now

"Earth to Ivy!" Chloe clapped her hands in front of Ivy's face as the woman still astounded for what she had witnessed. She didn't notice that she's been there for almost 10 minutes and Chloe had to go back to look for her and she found Ivy staring into nothingness, her eyes were wide open, as if she had seen ghost. "Are you okay?"

Ivy blink her eyes rapidly and clear her throat when Chloe squeezed her shoulder to get her attention. "Y-yeah." She stuttered.

"What did Yohan said?"

"Nothing!" Ivy exclaimed which made Chloe more convinced that Yohan did something to her friend for her to act like that.

"Yeah? Did she confessed to you?" Chloe asked with left brow raised.

"What?" Ivy chuckled. "She didn't."

"Then what makes you look like stupid standing to the same spot I left you for about 10 minutes?"

"I.." Ivy trailed off as she looked down to the tiled floor. "Honestly don't know what am I doing here." She mumbled.

"So Yohan didn't confessed that she likes you?" Chloe asked again but Ivy really find it ridiculous.

"Why do you keep asking that? What if she did? Will you do something about it?"

"Nothing." Chloe scoffed, avoiding Ivy's gaze.

"Ha! I know that kind of face, Chloe."

"Shut up!" Chloe growled to cover her flustered face as she clings onto Ivy's arm. "Let's just go inside, Charlene doesn't want to open her door!"

"Wait— why? And why are you here? Don't you have schedule today?"

Chloe halted her steps as she looked back to Ivy in confusion. Didn't they talked on the phone and Ivy said that she has something to tell her? Then why is she acting like she's surprised to see Chloe?

"Are you still doing drugs?" Chloe asked.

"b***h, I have never use it before, what do you mean still?" Chloe and Ivy shared a good laugh after that, but immediately stopped after. "Seriously Chloe, what are you doing here?"

"I called you earlier today and told you that I'm coming over because of Joy and Charlene's engagement without my knowledge!"

"Joy? My cousin?" Ivy asked.

"Yes? Do we have another Joy that happens engage to my cousin?!"

"No, I mean, they're engage? How? When?! Why the f**k on earth I didn't know that?" Ivy said bewildered. Yohan chuckled at the corner while watching the two women seems a bit confused on what's going on.

After tapping Ivy's head earlier, she erased some of her memories with one touch regarding to Joy and Charlene's engagement from the moment Ivy saw Yohan's true form as a Devil. That's why the two women are confused.

"Okay? What is going on, Ivy? I'm getting scared at you." Chloe said while retreating back away from her friend.

"What do you mean?"

"You said that you want to tell me something and by the way we had conversation earlier, you know about Joy and Charlene, but now you're acting like you don't know anything at all?"

"Which is true— wait, we talked? When?"

"Ok that's it, let's go inside and help me find the spare key to Charlene's room." Chloe dismissed as she dragged the girl with her.

When the two women was gone upstairs, Yohan walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water for herself, she leaned her back on the sink with her legs crossed, the tip of the glass touching the lower part of her lips while staring at the door, as if she could see what's going on inside Charlene's room through Ivy's eyes.

"I hope you didn't do something stupid." A voice appeared next to her, which voice she's too familiar with.

"I did something, but that's not stupidity." Yohan replied without looking at her. "You sure popping out a lot wherever I go."

"Killing an innocent human is your habit, but I won't let you."

"So it was you?" Yohan scoffed, she put the glass on the sink after she spun around and looked at the girl with her raging eyes. "You should stay away from my business, Nathalie."

"Well, I love to stick my nose in your business." Nathalie mocks as she leaned back to the refrigerator, holding Yohan's gaze. "Didn't I told you that I will kill you?"

"Then do what you want, but never get in my way or else, I have to take back your soul."

"Do you think I'm scared?" Nathalie asked challengingly. Yohan looked at her intently, then she scan her from head to toe. With those gazes, Nathalie felt scared and Yohan smelled her fear, she smirked and let out a sharp breath.

"No, you're not." Yohan said teasingly. "Anyway, since you're here. Any idea about the girl you saved and Charlene?"

"I don't think that's real, because Ivy know something about you so I guess, she's trying to save her friend from your friend." Nathalie said with a shrug.

"Jess is crazy." Yohan scoffed.

"She's not as evil as you, so she could feel things you won't feel."

"She's a witch, a heiress to be specific."

"She have a heart." Nathalie said meaningfully.

"That feeling that she could feel towards Charlene will only put her in danger."

"They've been always in danger whenever you're with them."

"f**k you." Yohan sneered playfully. Although she knows that Nathalie is right, but she can't seem to find the reason for Jess and Agma to be in danger as long as she's with them. She's The Devil, she can make chaos and she can stop it as well. She has unparalleled power but she never uses it for nonsense things.

"You're not my type." Nathalie snorted and they both laugh again. After a minute, they both fell in silence while staring at the door.

"You have the stone." Yohan said.

"The kryptonite?"

"I ain't superman, dumbass." Yohan scoffed and she looked at Nathalie's neck, the necklace with a jade stone as a pendant. "He gave it to you?"

"Half, I guess, he knows everything."

"As he should, he owe me his and his daughter's soul."

"You know.." Nathalie get herself a glass of water using Yohan's glass in the sink, she didn't find it disgusting or what, after all, her soul is already destined to be eat by Yohan, but Yohan seems didn't have any reason to take her soul yet. She's not as evil as everyone around her think, she still have this side that if the soul is pure, she wants to let them experience the life until it's time for Yohan to take their soul.

And for now, there's no reason for Yohan to take Nathalie's soul, even if her goal is to kill Yohan, which is never will happen. Once Yohan died, Ivy and Nathalie will die too. Nathalie know that.

"I've aged a lot while waiting for whatever you're going to say." Yohan said which made them both laugh.

"Why don't you take their souls and go back to the place where you belong?" Nathalie finally asked after earning courage to talk about it.

"Actually, that stone—."

"This?" Nathalie asked as she held the necklace up and pulled it off of her neck before throwing it at the open window. "There, it's gone."

"..has nothing to do with me, I can ask Agma to take it and break it." Yohan continued, leaving Nathalie dumfounded after what she had done to the necklace.

"Really?" She asked mockingly.

"I don't know why you did that, dumbass." Yohan giggled, then her giggles turn into loud laugh that she didn't notice the woman glaring at her venomously through the door.

"I didn't know that you're close with my friend." Chloe said while walking inside, arms crossed against her chest, her rest b***h face screams that she hates what she's seeing now between Nathalie and Yohan. "Let's go home." She added without even greeting nor glancing at Nathalie.

"Are you done?" Yohan asked, still giggling from time to time.

"Yeah." Chloe replied and this time, she looked at Nathalie but it's not a friendly look, more like she's staring with her rival woman.

"Let me guess, you woke up at the wrong side of the bed?" Nathalie asked sarcastically.

"What are you doing here, Nathalie?" Chloe asked back, ignoring her remarks.

"As far as I remember, I live here with Charlene." Nathalie said, stating the obvious but it's also obvious that Chloe forgot about it. Yohan raised her left brow questioningly to Nathalie but the latter just shrugged her shoulders.

"You were here all this time since earlier?"

"Yeah, I've seen everything." She smiled before tapping Yohan's face and turn her heels.

Chloe frown deeply upon witnessing that scene, but when Yohan look back to her, she immediately look away and stomp her way out of the kitchen.

"Cute." Yohan mumbled while shaking her head before she run after the woman. Little did Yohan know, there's a person watching her from afar, he witnessed everything, he heard everything and worst, he sees how Chloe makes Yohan smile at the simple things she does.

"f**k it, she's changing now." He mumbled as he followed Yohan with his gaze. "Her father should know about this." He said to himself before turning into a dust and vanished in the air.
