They didn't say anything, swigging their drink. They knew it would do stuff to Kass' body, but they didn't care. It tasted good and it made them feel good, so who gave a fuck.
school
"I could stay here forever, y'know! I have nothing better to do…" Grace called up.
Kass' eyes switched to green for a split second, only for a sentence. "I don't want to be up here Crow," She whispered, too soft for Grace to here. Then they returned to black.
school
Grace sat down on the pavement, cross-legged.
Crow stood up, their drink finished. They tossed it down to the path below, narrowly missing Grace. "Dammit, I missed," They said loudly. Then they disappeared.
school
"Huh? Where did they go?" she wondered. But it was getting late. She would have to head home soon, or else she would miss her summer job.
Crow reappeared further away from the edge of the roof, out of the eyes of Grace. They laughed to themselves. "Ha. Dumb fuck."
school
Grace headed home, glancing behind her back occasionally. (Skip to the next day or something?)
(no, i kinda have a mini plan)
Unbeknownst to Crow, Kassandra and Grace lived relatively close. So close, in fact, that when Crow teleported to the street that led to Kass' apartment, Grace was walking in front of them. They hid.
school
Looking around nervously, Grace pulled out the key to the house she was renting. Unlocking the door, she stepped inside and shut the door, locking, bolting, and chaining the door shut.
"The dumb fuck didn't even notice me," Crow cackled to themselves. They never really cared what they said, whatever they thought was what came out of their mouth. Or rather, Kass' mouth.
school
Grace leaned against the door, on edge.
"I might fuck with them," Crow smiled to themselves. They used magic to unlatch all of Grace's locks, then to slowly twist open the door handle.
school
Grace gasped as she felt pressure against the door and saw the handle turn. Turning around, she pressed all her weight against the door while she attempted to do all her locks up again.
Every time Grace managed to re-lock a latch, it would come undone again. This whole time, the handle continued to turn.
school
While she continued her frantic actions, she called out. "Who are you?"
No noise was made. The road outside was silent, the only noise being animals in the distance. Then a deep laugh sounded, echoing.
school
"I want to know who you are!" Grace called out once again.
The laugh sounded again, echoing throughout the street. "You won't find who I am anytime soon," A voice said, matching the laugh. Although it was coming from Kass, it was Crow's real voice.
school
Grace realized that it probably was someone new from high school that she hadn't met yet. She gave up protesting against the opening of the door, and walked over to the wall and leaned against it, panting.
Crow slowly started to walk towards the open door, a cackle echoing from their throat. They stood in the doorway, black eyes glowing.
school
Grace's head fell, as exhaustion took over. Even as fear enveloped her, it still wasn't enough for her to just look up into the eyes of Crow.
"Hello, Grace," Crow hissed. "You know, it isn't very often that I terrorise someone, especially someone who I've only just met. But you're different. You want to help Kassandra. Poor, little Kassandra, who has a personality disorder. Well, guess what? I'm not another personality. I'm an entity. And she's been my host since she was a baby."
school
"Crow," Grace said with sudden fury. With clenched fists and through her teeth, she said, "Back off."
"I don't think so," They said, smiling. "You are going to pay for your nosiness."
school
"Eh, do what you will," Grace gave a little sigh. "It can't be nearly as bad as what the students did to me a couple years ago." She bit her lower lip, remembering the constant "pranks" in school.
"Oh, you underestimate me," Crow growled. It was odd, hearing their voice come from Kass' mouth. It wasn't her, and yet, it was.
school
"Well, get it over with. Are you just going to stand there uttering threats?" Grace asked.
Large black wings sprouted from Kass' back, and horns started to grow from the top of her head. Her eyes became pitch black, and dark liquid leaked from them. She opened her mouth, her teeth sharp, her tongue long and thin. Her skin became even paler, a feat difficult even for her. A gutteral laugh sounded from her mouth, echoing in Grace's mind. "This isn't even half of what I can do."
school
"Yeah, so? I don't really care if you have wings or not. If you're gonna kill me just do it already," Grace replied, not really caring anymore about anything, really. She refused to back down as a wimpy coward.
