Alena gave a laugh as Zeus described how easy it was to get inside. She’d found that too, it was like the vampire really had no idea what demons were capable of. She slid up onto the large table, her feet dangling over the edge, swinging gently as she eagerly listened to his tale.
“He’s so emotional, it’s easy to get him angry,” she said with a small nod. “I mean, I know I can be, but I’m not a fucking District Leader,” she added, shaking her head so her red hair swayed.
Her grin widened as the shadow demon explained how he’d put out the lights to scare Jake and she let herself admire his demon form before he shifted back. “I wish I’d been there,” she breathed. She wanted to see that coward who hid behind his army and his sword, liking to show it off but rarely putting it to good use, other than to try to scare people. Then he could so easily be scared by others.
“She likes me, and she’s so trusting. She told me so much about herself with hardly any prompting. I’ve signed up for her class at the Academy; she might take a bit of convincing to get much closer if I’m her student, but I think I can work on her. Oh, I’m going to need a credit card to pay for the course. I can get cash or those contactless payment things, but I think this’ll be a bigger amount, I didn’t check the exact amount,” she added with a small shrug. She’d assumed Zeus would have more than enough funds to cover it without any issue – just look at where he’d been hiding out for the past two years and she’d seen where he’d been living before that.
“She doesn’t know what I am yet, she seems so sweet and innocent. I don’t know if she has any idea what he did to take the West. But we talked about their bond and hurting her would definitely affect him.” There was no remorse showing as she discussed it. Jake had murdered her family so if hurting his got to him and gave him a fraction of that pain, she was willing to go ahead with it.
