"You should be celebrity in school because you own such splendid house", Lucy said and Iris laughed. "I hate it. Being popular. If you're already an extraordinary being why then do you want popularity". She retorted.
She was right. If you lived an extraordinary life that was a threat to human existence, why would you want popularity.
But she seemed unapproachable the first time.
"Come to my house later. I'm going somewhere", Iris said bringing her back to life. " Don't tell me it's another party", she said rolling her eyes.
"You'd enjoy this one and I plan on meeting someone to discuss something anyways", she said defending herself.
"Yeah yeah, heard you", she said bluntly.
Iris smiled and left the young girl alone. School was over.
That woman can be so domineer...
"Hi, Joseph", she said as she sighted him coming towards her. He smiled. "Hey, how was the party? Hope you didn't drink much?" He asked as if he cared, but she wasn't concerned about whether he cared or not . The thing was that he asked.
"I didn't, thanks"
"For what?"
"For asking", she said smiling childishly. Suddenly someone called, Joseph looked at his phone and rolled his eyes. "I have to go. See you at tonight's party", he said walking away.
He was coming tonight.
She smiled. "I'd be there"

"I knew you would come, bitch", Iris said tossing her a dress. It was even more revealing than the last time. "No no no , I can't wear this"
"I hear Joseph is coming", she said teasing her. "I'm sure Joseph loves sexy women not some plain nobody", she said patting her shoulders.
"You need to clean your mouth, Iris, but since you gave me this, I'd take that as a compliment", Lucy said smiling.
Fuck! She knows everything.
" I never had someone to tell me to control my mouth, ran round the world for five hundred years, so technically, I have a very bad behavior and I like it", she said laughing.
"Bitch"

The party was filled with half naked bodies dancing to the music and Lucy decided to dance. To enjoy the moment when someone said behind her, "You look stunning. Never knew that weird girl at the back seat was a party type".
Lucy turned to see Joseph, he looked hot. "You look stunning too", she said smiling.
"Should we dance or just stare at each other", he said smirking.
Those eyes... They seem dead and charming.
"We... We should ", she said and they danced till his phone rang. " Excuse me for a sec, err... Lucy", he said and left quickly.
Why is it always like this.
He was the reason she came here and now he was leaving. She sighed.
"Where's Joseph? It seemed like you were enjoying yourself ", Iris said coming out of nowhere.
"He left. And yes I was enjoying myself till he left and you came ", she said and Iris hit her hard.
"I think you broke my arm", she said massaging it.
"I did...". She started to say but stopped when her phone rang. She looked at it; Paris Jacob.
"I have to take this", she said leaving.
Urgh! Not again.
"What is it, Jacob", she said sounding quite annoyed unlike her calm face. "It's... It's her. She's not normal. She wants to kill me by all means", he said his voice shaking.
Iris sighed. This wasn't the Jacob she knew. The Jacob she knew was brave and never complained except if Cordelia was using dark magic... Just if she was.
"Just keep running. I saved your life, slave, do the same for me", she said sounding harsh and she knew it.
She sighed, "Just make sure you're safe and tell Drella, I'll think of something to help", she said and before she hung up, she added, " Make sure she doesn't come home, to California and to Nestle lake". Then she hung up .
Cordelia... What's your plan
***
"You know, I told you to teach me all I need to know since I'd be dying if the so called enemy comes here not to take me to parties everyday!"
"This isn't what I wanted!" Lucy said angrily. But what annoyed her the most was how calm Iris looked.
This darn woman.
"I'd train you", she said.
"How? By taking me to parties, huh?" Lucy said dressing back to her casual wear. "You're just annoyed, Joseph left. Calm down", she said looking at her phone probably waiting for someone's call.
"Fuck this. I'm going home "
"Your father..."
"I don't want to know. That's my business not yours", she said and walked away.
"Slave!" She called sharply making Lucy stop dead in her tracks.
Did I make her annoyed? I know it I'm dead.
Iris walked to her and looked straight in her eyes. "Leave the door and die"
Gulp.
This was going to be a long night.

Manipulation wasn't an easy thing to do. He had to use all his strength and to focus on the being he was manipulating. But here he was controlling different people's mind just to get away from that woman. Cordelia.
"That darn lady", he said gritting his teeth. He soon had nowhere to run and so he stood to face her.
She came forward looking evily at him. "The first time I saw you I pitied you. You were so fibble and weak", she said coming closer.
"But here you are as someone slave in exchange for vitality and strength. I still pity you though "
"What do you want from me?" He asked moving back trying to control himself and what he was about doing.
"Nothing much. I bet you know where that demon fox is, don't you?" Cordelia looked at him, he was sweating. "You do. Well, what else would a slave do if not to protect his master who still abandons you , flees and makes new ones"
"Don't you think she's wicked and evil, if she loved you, she'd have only you", she said her eyes shinning as she lunged at him. He dodged still trying to control himself and his environment. He needed to manipulate a lot of people and it was draining his energy.
She tried to hit him and he dodged.
"You love doing that, Jacob", she said and he laughed suddenly startling her.
"Pray, sister Cordelia", he said and smiled.
"What?!"
A lot of people came running towards her trying to hold her. They were up to ten thousand if not more and could break the wall. He could have stayed to watch this moment, but he had a command to follow.
Just keep running.
He sighed and began running... .
