She saw a live murders scene for the first time in her life. The countless bodies that looked cold and lifeless. If it was before, she would've probably got panic attacks and faint from all the bloodbaths that were happening in front of her but now, for some reason, she was perfectly calm as if it was her daily routine or something. Even when people were screaming, shouting and looked terrorised, she felt nothing.
She looked at Calliope who was beside her, busy devouring the souls of those preys and she was looking pretty ecstatic.
After killing who knows how many people and finally feeling a bit satisfied Iggy returned back to the mansion at midnight. And she gave the body back to the original owner.
After getting her body back she called Calliope.
"Yes" Calliope responded.
"Do it." She said.
" Since I had a lot of souls today, I'll grant your wish." Calliope giggled and began to spread some kind of flowy wavelength through her eyes.
The wavelength continued to spread and covered the whole mansion.
That night, all the people in the mansion except the old butler woke up abruptly and headed to the room she was in.
They all lined up before her, bowed down and called her " MASTER"
They all looked dejected and lifeless.
( Recently, after talking with the deities inside her, she found out that their powers come from the amount of blood and souls they consume. The more they are fed, the more powerful they get. So, when she thought of the idea of making her own mansion her private domain she knew she had to fill up their bellies first.)
She crossed her arms and slowly laid on the sofa.
"Hey, Calliope!! Can't you make them act natural ? They all look like they came back after dying once." She complained.
"Is that so " Calliope spoke and another set of wavelength came out of the eyes. Then all the people began to smile,talk, made simple gestures as if they were completely normal.
Then she told all the servants to act and work like usual but told her father (who was also there) if her uncles ever contacts him he should immediately inform her. (She couldn't let those cockroaches to run freely. Can she ?)
After giving them their work she told them to leave.
All the servants began to leave one by one.
" Wait!!!" She spoke.
Everybody halted their paces and waited for the command to arrive.
"I thought my father would try to hide you from his wife. How's your body ? " She saw the pregnant maid she hypnotized before and automatically raised her voice.
" Me and my baby, we're both doing fine, master." The maid replied.
" Hmm !! That's good, make sure to take enough nutrients and supplements for your child. Now leave" she couldn't help but be concerned when it comes to young lives even though it wasn't hers.
She thought of freshening herself up and went for a bath.
After finishing her bath, she came to the bedroom and checked her phone. She saw twenty six missed calls and thirty eight messages on her phone. All of them were from Josh.
She smiled and imagined gently patting his ruffled hair and his cute, pouty expression on his face.
She wanted to call him but as it was already past midnight she thought he must've have already fallen asleep so, she simply left a voicemail saying" good night " hoping he would hear it in the morning even though it would be too late for it.
