I'm 2969, Nia's 2333, Vi's 2177, Khan and Kara are 1755, Ella's 1544, Rose's 1222, and Minnie is 1001 years old. Those are the nicknames I gave them, I used to call Kara, Kiki, but she grew up and hated it, then she cried and begged me to call her Kara. So now I call her Kara to everyone and Kara Chlóe to her, because she hates the Chlóe and constantly complains about it, and I love annoying the hell out of her, because she's hot-tempered.
I would say I'm the closest to Minnie and Rose because they are the youngest and babies in my eyes, but I'm actually the closer to Kara, because I'm always messing with her, and she's the one with the personality most similar to mine. Not like a mini-me, but she's very similar.
While Nia and Vi are more introverted and they come for me for a more needy girl talk, in an adult way, they ask for advice in everything, and act like I'm their guru. With Ella is the calmer of the girls, she's very loyal and kind and observing, and we talk more about studies in various areas, books, and she constantly needs a friendly ear to talk about her dreams. Ella is the opposite of Minnie who talks more than all of us together, is a sunshine, bright, and the most extroverted and energetic person I've ever met, she's bright.
She too bright for a demon, it's almost hilarious.
Now, Khan is a pain in the ass, he's the one that pisses me off the most, but again, he's my only full-blooded sibling, so I'm always here when he needs. He's not that bright in the head, so he constantly ask for my help with that, and he's too... emotional, he's not rational like me, we're opposites in a certain way, and he's almost as talkative as Minnie. We are honest about how we don't want to marry one another, and he constantly talks to me about Kara, just like she also does.
That's why I think they could be mates, because they talked a lot.
In the surface, the biggest and most powerful Kingdom is the Fae Kingdom of Nyx, ruled by the strongest races up there, and it's beautiful. Hell be damned, the first time I was there, I was so focused in hating everything and everyone and being a competitive nasty bitch, that I didn't enjoy it as I should, and when I came back to Hell, I missed it in a way it felt wrong then. But I never told anyone back then that I had missed it, because they would find it absurd.
No race but our own is supposed to know our true demon name, so instead of answering as Alethra Thalia Clethinthiallorr, I answered as Alexandria Maria Valentine, and I pretended to be 1008 years old when I got there because demons are only welcomed in the Von Hyden Academy where I was, if they were 1000 years and above, and I was 969.
And despite my nastiness, there was one person that adored me, the academy's Star Tower Overseer Irina Wierzuchowska, she was a sweetheart, everyone looked down on her and threw her at the side, but she was the best in there for me. What I liked about her the most was that she could see the fate through the stars, and she somehow knew I was the Crowned Princess of the Underworld, younger than I was acting and that wasn't my name, and she kept a secret.
After a thousand years passed again, I answered the calling to go there again, as Von Hyden Academy only accepts 10 demons per 1000 and 1000 years, so, I couldn't loose the opportunity. That time, I went there and promised myself I would enjoy it while I could and not be that nasty, because I didn't want to regret not doing so again. I did, but I may have enjoyed a bit too much.
I pretended to me Alamea Olivia Valentine then, and acted as if I was Alexandria's daughter that she had little before leaving to the surface, so I pretended to 1003 years old, but Irina read right through me the second she saw me, and she smiled as if she was profoundly happy to see me again. We became friends and I would go to the "Zodiac Tower" as everyone called, every time I had free time to be with her, gossip about everyone, and hear her stories. To make her company because she's lonely.
Every time I had free to go out of the academy grounds, I would explore the Fae Kingdom, and I confess that it hurt falling in love with that place because I knew I wouldn't be able to stay, so I just focused on the present, on enjoying it all. I would give my all in my classes and take top grades, just so I could get more free time to explore, to read their literature, to listen their music, to know more of their culture, taste more of their tasty food.
For someone raised in the most dangerous and lethal environment existent that is Hell, and who used to play on freaking Tartarus, and bath unscathed on the Styx that surrounds the palace, as well as to play around by killing nightmare-worth beasts, the Fae Kingdom was my fairy tale. I knew I had a deadline of five years, and I did my best to enjoy it all, because I knew in my bones it would break my heart to go back to the Underworld.
My parents would kill me if they heard me saying this as the Imperial Crowned Princess of the Underworld, of the so-called Hell, but I felt like I was more at home in their world than in ours. Maybe it was the lack of responsibilities and surveillance that had made me cold-hearted at home, the fact that my shoulders didn't feel so heavy, but it felt... right to be there.
