Jennifer of the 1940's Entry #3
Three months have passed. Nothing unusual happened. I haven't initiated my plan as Jennifer didn't do anything... suspicious... The days normally passed. Everything was peaceful...
The only thing that I noticed about Jennifer is her closeness to one of our classmate. Cynthia. The one who is always bullied and treated as an outsider. Before she was befriended by Jennifer, she was always bullied by some of our classmates... but... ever since Jennifer tagged along with her... most of our classmates seemed to also befriend her... Though it's not a bad thing but for me, it's unusual. Is she using her? Is she feeding on her? Should I warn Cynthia? I don't know... I'm still confused. I still haven't learned anything about her.
As she was befriended by Jennifer, Cynthia seemed too happy... I can't ruin that, right? It's not like it'll interfere with my plans...
Today, I found out something... most of the people who bullied Cynthia... seems to be either constantly sick or is endlessly experiencing unusual, unfortunate events ... and are asking me to help them... or if I have any idea if someone if someone cursed them or something...
Maybe... she's a Tavora, bringer of misfortune... but it doesn't make sense... Eurytons have completely annihilated them and there's no recent birth have occurred before that... there is one... from their last leader, Ivan... but his boy died in front of my ancestors, as what they said.
I know that it's too early to make assumptions... I also can't confront her at the moment... I think I'll ask Cynthia... Yes... that might be a good action for now...

Our family is a traitor... father's not denying it... Maybe it's in our blood... I don't know... I'm confused.
Weeks have passed after my first visit to her. I casually visit her almost every day after that, pretending that I wasn't affected by her words... her calling me a traitor.. mocking me for being tied to family's name...
After weeks of thinking... maybe now is the right time to know more about her... today... I'm going to approach her with a serious expression. I'm not gonna be affected by her words...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
"Hello, Aaron. Nice seeing you today..." Jennifer greeted me as I entered her room "... I thought you're going to give up already..." mockery.
"Well... sorry to disappoint you Jennifer. Today let's do something different." I replied and pulled a chair in front of her. She curiously looked at me as I sat in front of her.
"Go on... I'm interested." she cheekily smiled and sat properly, facing me.
"Today... instead of having Jennifer's mocking show, let's play a game called 2 truths and 1 lie."
"Hmm... so I'm supposed to guess which of the three statements that you'll give is a lie?"
"Impressive. Have you played that game?"
"Nope... It's just a wild guess." she smiled and winked at me.
"So, who should go first?" I asked. She paused for a minute before pointing at me and once again, cheekily smiled.
"Hm... I'm the eldest son of my father, I'm in senior high school and I'm interested in supernaturals." with a straight face, she cleared her throat and quickly answered.
"The lie is that you're interested in supernaturals." I flinched at my seat. How did she know that? Is it obvious? She chuckled at my expression.
"I'm correct right? Sorry... it's just that I can sense someone who is like me... and you didn't even bother knowing the whole story about our tribe." she replied, mumbling the last part.
"L-like you? What do you mean?"
"Never mind... It's my turn, right?" I simply nodded. Still dumbfounded by her statement earlier.
"I'm a Tavora, I'm the oldest in our family and I used to like Maximus..." she giggled as she said her last answer.
"Too easy... the lie is that you're the oldest. Of course... you're the last in your clan." I answered whispering the last part. She laughed and said something but because of her laugh it became inaudible.
"Well... you have point. I thought you're going to pick the last one."
"It's too obvious that you liked him though..." I whispered.
"You're next! I like your technique in fishing for information! I'm enjoying it!"
"Why? Is this the first time someone played a game with you?"
"Uh-huh!" she nodded almost like a child, "some of the technique that they used are painful and improper to the point that I can't keep my mouth shut anymore," she frowned then stared at the ceiling and sighed, "but... it's okay. Humans are governed by multiple demons like wrath, pride... lust..." then she looked down and played with her hands. Confused by what she said...
"What does that mean? Did th—"
"But! My most favorite technique was Derek's! He spoiled me so much so I rewarded him with a secret! So... be a good boy? Maybe I'll reward you with something too..." then she grinned.
Yeah... Derek told me something about this too.
"Be kind to her. She already suffered in the past. She's a pure soul in a Supernatural's body." Derek told me when he knew that I'll be the one to take over his duty.
"Yeah... yeah... whatever. It's my turn. I have a girlfriend, I like literature and I'm a fan of basketball."
"The lie is you like literature." she confidently answered.
"No. I DO like literature."
"Then what's the lie there? You're not a fan of basketball? You don't have a girlfriend?" I smiled and shook my head.
"I won't tell it to you."
"But that's unfair!"
"Nope. It's my rules."
"Jeez... you could have mentioned it earlier," then she frowned, "I'm an only child, I like crafting and I like cooking."
"Hm... you don't like cooking?"
"Wrong! I like cooking! Duh! I always cook for my self."
"But.. you don't look like someone who can cook." I teased and laughed which made her pissed.
"You're so judgmental. Are humans always like that? They judge according to what they see?" still laughing I raised my hands, surrendering and apologizing for judging her.
"Then what's the lie in your three statements?" she smiled and looked as if she somewhat outsmarted me.
"I'm not gonna tell you. It's in your rules... remember?" I puffed and smiled as she laughed.
"You clever girl!" I replied which made her laugh even more.
As I laughed with her... my heart started racing so fast... She's an only child... right? She has to be...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
As time went on, we played until I surrendered. I don't even know what information I'm gonna throw at her.
"But... I have one more lie to tell you... Please just stay for a while..." she pleaded as I told her that I should get going.
I sighed and sat back to my chair.
"Fine... but make it quick." she nodded.
"I was once a human, I want to be a human, I want to die as soon as possible." I confusingly looked at her. What's with her statements?
"You used to be a human?" she smiled and formed an X with her fingers.
"Wrong! Ha! You're wrong again!" she laughed but I just stared at her. She used to be a human?
"What? What does that mean? You used to be a human?"
"Of course! I was born as a human! Don't you know that Elexians were born as humans? If an Elexian child didn't possessed an ability that they need to possess in a certain age, they'll be given away. On the other hand, those who are skilled will then be offered to our deity to grant us to possess the power of our corresponding clan!" I was stunned by what she said... what she said was not written in the Elexian's history... did our ancestors know it?
"See? You're surprised! You didn't know that!" she teasingly said and laughed. Still astonished, I smiled and chuckled. Seeing her laugh like that makes me want to think that deep inside... there's still humanity left...

Jennifer of the 1940's (2020 Edition) Entry #2
What an interesting day... Jennifer seemed to like the idea of playing this type of game... I enjoyed it too, not gonna lie about it... Though I forgot to ask her about Cynthia... but that's fine I learned more things about her... The only thing that bothered me today was her statement "I'm an only child" not that I'm making it as a big deal... it's just confusing. They confirmed that she is the last Tavora, no one will even believe me if I told them her joke, I can even get scolded for playing with her.
I wonder how she was treated by her former companions, well, aside from Derek since she spilled almost everything about him... I'm just... concerned if she was treated harshly in the past which is quite obvious... Anyways... that will be all for today.
