The woman from the lab with snake hair is seen in an office of sorts. She tapped her fingers against her desk in a rhythmic order, but was terribly angry. It has been about a week since her precious experiment had escaped the transport she had put it on, and she hadn't found it yet. It was starting to get on her nerves that something so dangerous and absurdly different from other demons would be able to hide from her eyes. She wasn't even sure if the experiment was able to leave the Pride Ring or not, so all of Hell could be up for grabs for her experiment.

There was a knock on her office door, and the demoness looked up to it. Her scowl vanished into a neutral line as she continued tapping her fingers on her desk.

???: "Come in."

The door opened with a creak and the woman sees one of her scientists walk in. A tablet was in his hand.

Demon Labcoat: "Ma'am."

???: "What is it?"

Demon Labcoat: "The people in tech. They found something."

???: "And that is?"

Demon Labcoat: "Look for yourself, ma'am."

The labcoat said as he walked up to his boss and placed the tablet on her desk. He pressed play on the video, revealing it to be the one Octavia made at Stylish Occult.

Octavia: *on video* "Alright, Y/n, you can come on out!"

On the video, a dressing room door is shown before opening to reveal Y/n stepping out in the outfit they technically stole. The woman's eyes widened slightly as her face went from neutral to surprised. Even if it was wearing clothes that mostly covered up its strange look, the woman could recognize that face anywhere.

Octavia: *on video* "You look great, Y/n! Rocking that outfit."

???: "When was this taken?"

Demon Labcoat: "Just yesterday, posted on Princess Octavia Goetia's Sinstagram. We found it only a few minutes ago."

???: "So... the Goetias found 626 before us, huh? And the princess seems to be real chummy with it."

Demon Labcoat: "What do you want to do, ma'am?"

The woman was silent for a moment before some of the snakes that made up her hair hissed a bit as they looked at her. She looked at them as well before smiling.

???: "Yes... Yes, that's a wonderful idea."

Demon Labcoat: "M-ma'am?"

???: "Track the Goetia's phone and send a capture team for 626. This is a Beta Level Threat. Use lethal force if you have to."

Demon Labcoat: "Right away, ma'am."

The demom bowed and left to go give the order. The snake-haired demoness leaned back into her chair as she folded her hands together, smirking to herself.

???: "So you somehow befriended the Goetia. And she named you... Y/n? How cute."

10:30 AM

Octavia is seen sleeping under her bed covers, peacefully resting. That is until her alarm went off, snapping her awake before her eyes narrow in annoyance.

Octavia: "Why did I even set that fucking thing...?"

Octavia asked herself as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked around tiredly before realizing she was missing something, so she looked around with a bit more urgency before realizing what was missing.

Octavia: "What the fuck? Where's Y/n?"

She looked around a bit more before spotting her open balcony doors. She immediately panics and jumps from her bed to run out onto her balcony. She looks around, only to find no one there. Y/n was gone without a trace.

Octavia: "What the fuck, man? Where did he go?"

Octavia asked herself as she walked back into her room, only to find a black jacket similar to her own lying on her bed. She picked it up, seeing the four sleeves and realizing it was Y/n's new jacket she picked out for him at Stylish Occult. Then the princess remembered what she said.

"Yeah, uh, I'll fix that later after I buy it."

Octavia couldn't help but smile at this with a small chuckle.

Octavia: "I guess you remembered my promise, at least."

Octavia hummed in thought before turning to her balcony. She assumed Y/n had returned back to the abandoned building they've stayed in for the past week.

Octavia: "Guess I can keep my promise and fix this before I go see them. Let's see what I can do."

And with that, Octavia went over to the desk in her room to start sewing.

Pentagram City, Pride Ring
October 22nd, 20XX
10:40 AM

In the streets of Pentagram City, the demonic residents walked through the sidewalks and streets as they either head to their jobs or just go through their day. Among them was a demoness in pink and a head full of large white hair. Some of her bangs cover her right eye, only showing on of her bright green eyes. This was none other than Helsa van Eldritch, Pride's queen of gossip.

(Made by the fucking woman herself: Vivziepop! At least, I hope it is since I searched for a bit and found it on her Twitter. Credit to her!

Please don't attack me for being wrong)

Now, what was this gossip queen doing all the way in this part of Pentagram City? Well, she has recently been following up on some juicy rumors that said that the heir to the Goetia royal line, Octavia, had been sneaking around this place after almost being held hostaged by some Sinners. This caught Helsa's attention and she immediately sensed some possible juicy gossip that she could reveal, especially after seeing that video posted on the princess' Sinstagram. Helsa couldn't help but grin at the thought of revealing something about such a secretive member of one of the higher ranking families in Hell.

Helsa: "Now let's see... where could it be?"

Right now, Helsa was searching for the place she believed was the place Octavia had been sneaking to to hang out with that demon that was in the video with her. The demoness believed Octavia called the demon... Y/n, right?

Helsa: "It has to be around here somewhere..."

Helsa looked around for a moment before she spots something above her. She looks up at the rooftops, spotting something quickly moving across the rooftops. She uses her special eyesight to see who it was, only to find a white blur with three horns leaping from rooftop to rooftop. This makes Helsa grin as she recognizes the blur as Y/n from Octavia's video, taking out a camera from her coat as she follows the blur. She watches the blur carefully as it goes from roof to roof, eventually stopping at an abandoned building when she doesn't see it anymore.

Helsa: "So, this is the place, huh? And what secrets can I get from here?"

Helsa asked herself as she approached the building's entrance, not noticing Y/n eyeing her from the rooftop. They growled, seeing Helsa as an intruder and a possible threat, before turning away to head inside the building. However, neither noticed the black SUVs driving up to the building as well.

Inside the building, Helsa looked around to look for whatever she could find. It was dark inside since there was no other light except for the light from outside, which didn't do much to begin with, but thanks to her abilities Helsa could see easily.

Helsa: "Now let's see if the princess is here."

She brought her camera up to see if she can get any pictures of Princess Octavia with some commoner demon. It would bring her gossip blog even higher than it already is.

Helsa: "Come out, come out, wherever you are~"

As Helsa walked forward, she didn't spot Y/n's figure hanging from the ceiling behind her. All three of their eyes glowed in the dark as they looked at her, but the van Eldritch felt it anyway and turned to look behind her. However, the eyes vanished before she could spot them, so she just shrugged and continued on her way. Y/n's eyes returned before the amalgamation crawls across the ceiling to follow Helsa. Said gossip queen had turned a corner, still looking for Octavia and Y/n. However, she hadn't found anything yet nor has she heard anything except for the skittering of bugs and rodents on the floor. It was getting on her nerves.

Helsa: "Come on, that weird bastard has got to be here at least."

Helsa said to herself quietly as she looked for Y/n. However, something raced behind her and made her turn to look behind her, only to find nothing there. The same thing happened above her, and she tried to catch who it was with her camera and took a picture. However, when she looked at it, there was no one there.

Helsa: "What the fuck?"

Something scurried at her left, and she spun around to take a picture. The camera flashed, only for the flash to reveal a tail fleeting back into the shadows.

Helsa: "Okay, this is too fucking cliché. I know you're there! You can't scare me, dickbag! Whoa!"

Helsa's legs suddenly fell from underneath her and she fell onto her back with a grunt. However, she quickly picked herself up and stood to her feet, glaring into the darkness.

Helsa: "Look here, you little shit! Don't you know who the fuck I am? I'm Helsa van Eldritch, you fucking waste of a--!"

Helsa felt something move above her, but she doesn't look up. Instead, she watched as a chunk of her hair fell down in front of her face and to the floor. Her eyes went wide, not even processing what had just happened for a moment before she got hit in the back of her head which sent her back onto the ground.

Helsa: "GAH! Motherfucker!"

Helsa turned onto her back to look for who hit her, only to freeze when she sees three eyes staring right at her from the ceiling and glowing in the dark. Silent clicking follows before the three eyes narrow at Helsa and the round pupils shrink into slits. The clicking becomes a bit more intense as the figure hiding in the shadows drops their camouflage to reveal Y/n and they slowly drop from the ceiling to the ground, landing on all fives and glaring directly at Helsa with an animal-like growl as they slowly begin to approach the Hellborn demoness.

Helsa: "Wh-what the fuck are you doing? Stay back, you fucking creep!"

Y/n doesn't listen as they come closer and closer towards Helsa, their clicking becoming progressively more intense before turning into a full-on growl. Helsa began to crawl away backwards slowly, her nerves slightly on edge for some reason she couldn't pinpoint. The only people to have this kind of effect on her have been her own parents and Lucifer, king of Hell.

Helsa: "I told you to stay back!"

Y/n still didn't listen as they approached even closer, which made Helsa growl as her hair rose up slightly and more eyes start to appear on her face.

Helsa: "I told you to back off, you--!!"

"Y/n, what the fuck are you doing?!"

Y/n stopped crawling towards Helsa at the call out, which also snapped Helsa out of her anger as she returned to normal. Both looked to see Octavia in the back of the hallway Y/n and Helsa were in, and before Helsa could do or say anything Y/n's pupils become round again and immediately turns away from Helsa to head towards Octavia.

Octavia: "Y/n, what did you think you were doing?"

Y/n stood to their feet as they snorted out a response and turned back to Helsa with a growl, their eyes momentarily becoming slitted again. Octavia looked at Helsa as well and groaned in annoyance, rolling her eyes as she placed a hand on her hip.

Octavia: "Again, van Eldritch? What is wrong with you?"

Helsa: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with your fucking weirdo... What even is that?!"

Octavia: "Y/n is--...! I don't really know, but what are you doing here? Are you trying to spread more gossip about my family?!"

Helsa: "Hon, I'm the queen of gossip. Of course I was. Especially since you posted that new video on your Sinstagram with that friend of yours."

Helsa said with a teasing smirk, not really meaning "friend" but something completely different. Octavia caught this and blushed angrily.

Octavia: "There not my--!"

Helsa: "Yeah, yeah. Whatever." *waves hand dismissively* "Heard it all before. Now are you two fuckin' or not? 'Cause this is some juicy stuff right here."

Octavia blushed even harder and continued to argue with Helsa, but as they do Y/n catches something in the corner of their eye. It was a strange red light and they follow it as it travels to point itself at the back of Octavia's head. Then there was a click and Y/n leapt at Octavia just as a bullet was shot. Y/n managed to push Octavia out of the way and took the bullet themself in the shoulder, tearing a good bit off as black blood went flying.

Octavia: "Y/n!"

Helsa: "The fuck?!"

Demons suddenly barged into the building, armed with heavy weaponry which were all aimed at the three. Octavia took a step back in shock and fear as Y/n put themself in front of her while Helsa growled at them.

Octavia: "Who the hell are these guys?!"

Helsa: "I don't fucking know, but they're fucking dead for interrupting me!"

Multiple eyes appeared on Helsa's face as her hair rose up by itself. One of the strands shot at two demons, piercing right through their torsos and immediately killing them. She then tossed them around, slamming the corpses into one other which reduced him into red paste. Then two others fired at her, but the bullets did nothing to her as she just grinned evilly at them. Helsa immediately appeared in between the two, summoning two eldritch arms from her hair which grabbed the demons and squished them into bloody messes. When she dropped what was left of them, the van Eldritch turned to where she assumed the rest of the armed demons were.

Helsa: "Who's ne--"

She stopped midsentance in shock. What she saw was a scene straight from a horror movie. Blood was everywhere with bodies torn to bits and pieces, some with huge pieces of their bodies missing to others being completely unrecognizable. And in the center of it was Y/n, bleeding profusely but not in any kind of pain while standing in front of Octavia protectively, who was barely covered in any blood. Helsa was taken completely by surprise. Did this weird-ass demon do all that in just the few seconds she was killing those other five demons?

Helsa: "What the fuck are you?"

Both Octavia, who looked to be almost traumatized by what she had just witness, and Y/n turned to Helsa. However, before the former could respond, Y/n growled and rushed at Hellborn demoness with the intent to attack.

Octavia: "Y/n, wait! Stop!"

Helsa simply grinned as Y/n neared her and went to avoid them, only for her face to be grabbed and slammed into the wall. The van Eldritch was taken back by surprise once more, never seeing any normal demon move as fast as a high-ranking demon like herself. However, she simply smirked again as her eyes shimmered green.

Helsa: "Impressive, fucko, but I think it's time to put you down."

Her eyes then went from shimmering to flashing green as they connect with Y/n's. Their eyes flashed bright green as well and they saw Hellborn's true form, which Helsa expected to make them let her go and go insane like all others do. However, much to her surprise, they didn't react at all. Instead, she saw something about them in the amalgamation's eyes that no other she has met has. Or, to be more exact, lacks. And then she suddenly saw something else in Y/n's place, too. Something that looked almost--

Octavia: "Y/n, that's enough! Back off of her!"

The thing that was in Y/n's place glanced over its shoulder before turning back to Helsa, who couldn't help but freeze up for a moment. However, the thing went away and was replaced by Y/n who let her go and backed away before going back over to Octavia, standing near her and quite protectively.

Octavia: "Now it's your turn to calm down."

The young Goetia told Helsa who didn't respond for a moment, still frozen before realizing that she was spoken to. She then sighed and shook her head as the multiple eyes vanished and her hair returned to normal, her bangs covering her right eye once more.

Helsa: "What the fuck was that?"

Octavia: "I-I don't know. I'm as surprised as you are. Y/n, do you know who these guys were?"

Helsa: "What? No, I meant--"

Octavia ignored Helsa as she watched Y/n go up to one of the demons he massacred and lifted the corpse up, revealing they still had their head. The amalgamation glared at the corpse, growling before opening their mouth in an attempt to speak.

Y/n: "Baaaaaah.... Daaaaaah."

Helsa: "What?"

Octavia: "Wh-what? Y/n, what are you saying?"

Y/n: "Baaah! Bah! Bah!"

Y/n exclaimed as they pointed at the dead demon in their hand. Octavia was still trying to understand what they were saying, and Helsa was getting annoyed.

Helsa: "He's saying "bad", princess. For the daughter of someone so smart, you're sure fucking dumb."

Octavia: "Bad?" *to Y/n* "Bad? Like, bad people?"

Y/n nodded.

Y/n: "Bum-bum."

Octavia was silent for a moment as she thought to herself. Helsa, however, grew annoyed again and rolled her eyes.

Helsa: "This is all pressing and whatnot, but I'm--"

Octavia: "You can't saying anything about this."

Helsa: "Excuse me?"

Octavia: "You can't say anything about this. Not about what happened here, and especially nothing about Y/n."

Helsa: "Excuse me, bitch, but do you know who you're talking to?"

Octavia: "Yeah, yeah, "gossip queen" and whatnot. But as the heir to the Ars Goetia, I command you that you remain quiet about this."

Helsa: "Yeah, heir. You ain't shit yet, honey. Besides, I'm far older than you, and why do you want to protect someone you met, like, a week ago?"

Octavia: "... what do you want?"

Helsa: *smirks* "Hmm? Whatever could you mean?"

Octavia: "Ugh! Stop being so difficult! I know you want something in return if you stay quiet, so what is it?"

Helsa laughed at this, already knowing what she wants.

Helsa: "I heard a juicy rumor that your folks are fighting with each other. Have any reason as to why? Hmmmm?"

Octavia growled at this, knowing where Helsa was going to go with this.

Octavia: "Nope! Absolutely not! Anything else but that."

Helsa: "Welp, then it looks like every one of my followers are gonna find out about your new friend~"

Helsa said as she walked past Octavia and Y/n, the latter turning to chase after the van Eldritch. However, Octavia grabbed their arm to stop them and Y/n looked at her in a mixture of anger and confusion.

Octavia: "Fine. I'll tell you."

Helsa stopped walking and smirked. She had won.

Octavia: "You didn't hear it from me, but... one of them is sleeping with someone else. An Imp."

Helsa proceeded to choke on her own saliva, not expecting that as an answer.

Helsa: *turns to Octavia* "What?!"

Octavia: "You heard me. Now you have what you want, and that's all you're getting. Leave Y/n be and go away!"

Helsa was silent for a moment, debating whether or not to just take the information and go. And in the end, she decided to do so.

Helsa: "Alright, a deal's a deal. Guess your weirdo friend is safe from me. For now."

Octavia groans in annoyance as Helsa laughs and goes to leave.

Helsa: "Ta-ta, honey!"

And with that, Helsa left the building and leaving Octavia and Y/n alone. The former of the two just sighed and pulled her beanie over her face in distress.

Octavia: "What am I gonna do...?"

Octavia suddenly felt something nudge against her face and she pulled her beanie back up to see what it was. She blushed again when she sees that it was Y/n, who had pressed their head against hers.

Y/n: "Saaaaaahf...?"

Octavia: "What?"

Y/n: "Ooctt... saaahf?"

Octavia looked at Y/n in confusion before realizing what they were trying to ask her. She smiled at them and pressed her head against Y/n's, cupping their cheek which is surprisingly allowed by the amalgamation.

Octavia: "Yeah, pal. I'm safe."
