Octavia point of view

I thought I was home alone, but I heard some noises coming from my dad's library and I thought that he went with that... Other guy too... Do things I don't wanna think about

and I'm pretty sure my mom is with my uncle right now and there shouldn't be anyone else in the house. I knew I should've called someone but I was curious so I went downstairs and I saw that the light to the library was on so I went over there not expecting what to find

but I'll admit I did not expect to find some Imp with no horns and one of the most famous pop stars in both hell and on earth verosika mayday I stare at them and they stare back at me as if they're Deers that got caught in headlights neither of us know what to say

well, I do it's just more of a scream and try to run away, but then the succubus chases me and tackles me to the ground: stop we're not trying to hurt you please just let us explain

The imp follows: she's right just let us explain. There's a reason why we broke and trust me it's not for the reason you think.

I look at the two of them suspiciously. They don't look like burglars or this could be some sort of weird thing with my dad: okay either you to start explaining or I'm calling someone

Imp: okay that's reasonable. First off my name is Michael. I'm pretty sure you've already know that this is the verosika mayday

verosika mayday: hi...any chance that if I give you an autograph you'll forget about all of this?

I shake my head don't get me wrong. I know that she's famous and I am sort of a fan of her music, but not that much

The imp now I know it has the name of Michael: okay now that we've got that out of the way I'm sure you're wondering what we're doing breaking into your house and ransacking your dad's library

I glare at him : yeah that would be one of the questions I have

He looks nervous : well rest of yours there's a perfectly reasonable explanation....well... Maybe not reasonable but an explanation

so then he went on to explain what they were really doing here how they broken to my dad's house to take a copy of his magic book or whatever I mean that wasn't too much of a surprise practically everyone wanted one but I was surprised that they said that they were going to copy it to not taken it and I don't think they were lying

I was confused on why they wanted succubus can use magic and I know for a fact that verosika has a method to the human world otherwise she wouldn't be a famous popstar in both hell and on Earth

so I decided to ask them about it and the answer I got was not what I was expecting :... I can use magic

My eyes wide as I stared at Michael, he has to be joking right? There's no way: that's impossible Imps can't use magic

verosika: yeah that's what I thought too until I actually saw him do it... It was crazy he could make these green flames. It's not like any magic I've seen

It's not possible it's gotta be some kind of trick: that's not possible it's just not...imp cannot use magic

Michael stepped away from me and looked like he was trying to concentrate. His face had a flash of an angry expression before his entire body burst into green flames.

I stumbled back surprised as I just watch the flames didn't seem to be spreading and they weren't hurting him it was true he could use magic

It was finally able to find my feet as I stand up before the flames die down and Michael returns to a neutral expression: see I can use magic but unfortunately being a giant nightlight is all I've got... and it happens every time I get angry. I just wanna wait to control it.

I still can't believe what I saw, but I can't deny it Michael used magic: OK... I'm believe you now maybe we could talk somewhere else I really really wanna know everything

The two of them not as we go back into my dad's library tonight she has been... A lot so far but honestly despite everything it's nice to talk to someone

Narrators point of view

I have to going back into the library and explaining the majority of Michael's dilemma. Octavia was more open to listening.

The owl girl rubbed her chin thinking about all the information she was given: okay so just don't understand you think you're a hybrid but you don't know between what other your mom and you wanted to get a copy of my dad's book so that you could research on what you are

Michael nodded: yeah that pretty much sums it up

verosika: yeah sorry that we had to break in we can't let anyone know about Michael's abilities... Otherwise who knows what would happen?

Octavia knowledge she heard stories about imp who supposedly broke the rules and ended up on Satan's trials which usually ended with an execution

And while she didn't know Michael, she knew that it would be wrong to sending him to death for something he has no control over

octavia: okay I guess that'll make sense and it wasn't like you were planning to steal the book, but there's a problem. The book isn't here.

verosika: what? But it's supposed to be one of the most valuable possessions that your family has how could it not be here?

Octavia rolled her eyes: let's just say my dad is... Lending it out illegally for... Favours

Michael could tell by her tone that the favours were something personal as well as not easy for her to think about it and judging how they were room is that her father was being intimate with someone of a lower class it was clear what was going on

The imp: well if that's the case then we've wasted a journey sorry for waking you up Octavia I just... I really wanted some answers

octavia: no it's fine honestly I can't blame you. I know what it's like wanting answers... But you seriously don't know anything about your dad? Your mom never told you anything about him

Michael shook his head: no, I mean she told me that my dad loved me but she didn't even tell me his name. I always thought it was because maybe he was married or maybe he was dead but now I'm starting to think that maybe she had me with someone of higher standings

Octavia: and you really can't just ask your mum for any more details

Michael looked down saddened by the mention of his motherverosika saw her wanna be boyfriend in distress and explained: it's complicated. Michael hasn't seen his mother in years. The last time they were together was when she dropped him off in the middle of pentagram city just before the extermination.

Michael: yeah barely got out of there with the skin of my teeth I mean don't get me wrong. My mom was never mean or abusive but what she did... It just doesn't make any sense. I mean nothing about me makes any sense the no horns the magic. I just wanna know what the hell am I? I just want answers

Octavia felt sorry for the half breed. She knew what it was like to feel like an outsider to feel like no one understood what you were going through

That's when she got an idea: okay I have an idea. I mean it's not gonna be as good as getting the book, but I could be able to teach you some things.

Michael raised an eye eyebrow: really but aren't you a little young to be teaching?

Octavia shrugged slightly: I'm 18 years old and my dad's been giving me lessons since I was nine on how to use my magic. I could teach you the basics at the very least.

The succubus and imp looked at each other wondering if they should take the owl girls offer verosika sugar head she didn't trust the owl girl and she didn't want any more competition

But Michael was intrigued and he wanted to know how to control his magic: okay you can teach me but how do we know that you're not gonna do? You know turn me in.

Octavia: well I told you about what my dad's been doing with the book if anyone found out about that he'd be in a lot of trouble... So technically we both got dirt on each other so if I tried to take you down you can take me with you and vice versa

Michael: OK yeah... That seems like a good idea. All right so I'll give you my number and maybe we can discuss lesson plans and again Octavia I really appreciate it. I know that you're risking a lot by helping me.

Octavia: it's fine honestly this is probably the most fun I've had in ages and I think it would do me good to socialise with people

Michael wrote down his number on a piece of paper and handed it to Octavia. She did the same. The people that broke into our house at were now in her contacts as they were leaving the front door without sneaking out this time.

Octavia waved to them as they left the house Michael waved back verosika grumbled to herself: can we really trust her?

Michael: we're gonna have to. I need to learn how to control my magic if we want to go through with the plan.

verosika: OK yeah I get that, but can she even teach you anything? She's only 18

Michael: it's better to have an inexperienced teacher than to have no teacher at all. Besides I think she would make a fine addition to the plan. We could use Contacts in high places if we want to... Take over hell

verosika made a small smile as they got back into the car, she loved how ambitious Michael was and she could almost see him standing above the highborn the overlord the seven sins, even Lucifer himself

She could see him standing above them all and what was most tantalising about it there was a seat next to him one that she fully intended on taking...

....after all a king needs a queen
