Sweet but with spice

Frieda, half demon, half Banshee. I look like an angel, but I'm far from it.

“Why would she feel threatened by me, I’m no where near at her level of anything. She has no reason to be threatened by me…” Corinne bit at the skin around her nails, her gaze flitting away from the other. “I suppose neither of us can really understand either side of the coin, our experiences are so extremely different.” Corinne hummed lightly, considering the idea of having the other be a friend to her. “I don’t know, I’ve never really had friends that have lasted very long. I’m not very good at playing with people, I get angry and detached easily.”

“I’ve heard that some people are like that...My mom always says we could waste years trying to understand a persons greater plan, though I’m pretty sure she’s really referring to my grandfather with that” she hummed, a thoughtful expression on her face as she signed. “Well, I have a knack of ripping things to shreds, so we’re evened out on the playing field of potential friendship?”

“I guess I am, she’s really the only person I am afraid of. My older sister hates her, they really don’t get along well. She doesn’t think mama is good for me, but she needs me. And I need her.” The blonde didn’t really like talking much about her relationship with her mother, no one really understood anyway. “You still can’t understand to the full extent. It’s best to just drop this, I don’t wanna have to think about my fate as a witch.” She crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes narrowing slightly. “I don’t care for power, it’s not somethin’ that interests me. Whatever you think you can provide me with, I ain’t interested.”

“It sounds like you two are close, maybe she feels....Threatened?” she wondered, her eyebrows furrowing as she tried to remember the sign for the word. The demon then sighed “I understand what it is you’re saying, I guess I just don’t like facing that I’m some sort of anomaly, least you won’t have to live forever and sit outside the gates of Heaven just watching the world burn...” she mused. “What about friendship?”

“Well time is a strange concept, isn’t it? I have no use for it, time keeps you in confines.” Corinne blinked at the other, dark eyes shifting to a stormy grey. “I am in some respects, though like you, I have someone holding me back. I need my mama too much, and if I were to be my own woman and decline her advice, she’d be upset. Very upset…” She shook her head at the other’s words, her gaze dropping away from her to stare at her own bloody hands. “It isn’t the same. It’s disrespectful in many respects to try see any resemblance in our situations. Like I said, my sisters have been slaughtered for generations, their homes destroyed, their bodies burned and tortured. You’ll never understand the fear we feel when we consider that could be our fate.” Corinne hummed lightly, fingers curling into the fabric of her dress as she looked back to the other. “What makes you think you can help me? And even if you could do anything as a halfbreed, What makes you think I’d want your help?”

“I guess it does” she said, her signing a little slower as the thought played on her mind a little, she’d never really thought about time at all with the fact eternity was ahead of her. She’d even have to survive when the world ended and was nothing but rivers of lava and raining brimstone. She’d have to remember to hang onto a deck of cards to stay entertained. “Are you scared of her?” she then signed, looking at her warily. “I’m scared of both my moms” she added in an attempt to take some pressure off the other. “I can in the banshee side of me, my aunts always tell me about the persecution and being a demon I can feel emotions like a sponge....It’s how we learn to be like surface dwellers and fit in, it’s annoying when we don’t understand what the emotion is.” she then shrugged “Some people like the power...”

“God, you’re practically a baby. So in reality, we’re not even the same age. You just look my age.” Corinne only smiled at the other, her hand raising so she could bite at her nails. “It is how I’ve been moulded to be. I think once I was okay, free thinking. But the influence of others has made it difficult to not behave in certain ways, I am to follow advice given to me.” Corinne gave a humourless chuckle, her gaze unreadable. “It is, but I tend not to think too much of it. I’m not a psychologist, it’s not my job to try and understand the inner workings of my brain and emotions.” She gave a light sigh. “But it’s not the same, is it? For now, you don’t have much to worry about in that regard. Generations of my sister witches have been ruthlessly and brutally slaughtered. They could get me at any point, and I constantly have to watch my back.”

“In demon years I’m your age, time moves differently in Hell” she then paused her signing and pursed her lips, hating the idea that she was seen as something so young, her nose wrinkling at the word ‘God’, an involuntary reaction that made her want to wretch. “But you could be your own person?” she wondered, continuing to sign again. The demon nodded, not being able to help how interested she was in the other, she’d never spoken to one like her and the nature of demons was to learn, study and destroy. “Well, who knows...It could be?” she shrugged, not really having much idea about what could kill her, maybe being a halfbreed she could die “...I could help?” she wondered “Demons are good for helping witches, It’s why Lucifer inspires you?”

[not-so-free-frieda]

“Well then tell her you want to start explorin’ places. Surely she’d let you see parts of the world.” Corinne gave a humourless smile. “I don’t really know what to say on that, I’m a product of my environment.” She kicked a bare foot at some fallen leaves. “Loneliness isn’t somethin’ that bothers me most of the time. Emotions are a strange thing, sometimes I feel too much and sometimes I feel nothin’ at all.” Corinne looked into the direction she’d been walking before turning her gaze back to the other. “Understandable but still, you can’t relate yourself to that kind of situation. For you personally, you don’t have to watch your back in fear of someone hunting you down.”

“I’m not even two years old, sure I look and think like an adult, but I’m still pretty much a child compared to her...” she continued to sign, then glancing back to her “You don’t have to be....” she then added, noting how the other was not wearing shoes. “Sounds confusing...” she then dropped her hands as she heard the others words “The Order create new things everyday to hunt everyone with, what’s stopping them getting rid of my physical body and locking me in a puzzle, that’s a kind of death for us?”

[not-so-free-frieda]

“Well maybe you should start experiencin’ things then, start seeing the world.” Corinne cocked an eyebrow, her hands moving to rest against the strap of her bag. “Makin’ conversation about somethin’ that can be answered with one sentence.” Corinne have a shrug of shoulder, her face dropping back into an emotionless expression. “They don’t kill our kinds, they kill my kind, and other kinds. You’ve already stated that you can’t be killed, haven’t you? So how can you relate yourself to the demographic of supernatural life that gets slaughtered?”

“I can’t just leave my mom....She’d only summon me back” she continued to sign, before she then shrugged “I’m a demon and I’m not an ass like you, it’s weird” she then huffed, rolling her eyes at the girl “You must get lonely” she added, before sitting back. “Because of my mom, she’s a banshee....I’m half of her, and hunters kill people like her and I care about her over everything....So just because I can’t die, doesn’t mean she can’t” 

[not-so-free-frieda]

“Well you know, your mind could change. Emotions are a strange thing.” She hummed lightly. “Well that’s none of your concern now, is it? But I learnt it from a friend I used to know a while back.” The southern girl gave a slight smile. “Well I’ve certainly never met a thing like you before, though I can’t decide if that’s a good or bad thing. I explore everywhere I go, I’m very curious. Especially about humans, such interesting little souls. Very fun to play with.”

“I’m still young, I haven’t even experiences anything real in this world. You could be right, once I collect experience I’ll collect emotions” she mused, signing a little freely, then giving a soft little noise. “I’m making conversation...” she sighed, giving an eyeroll to emphasise. “I think it’s good, people don’t meet demons all that often, even if I’m only half of one...” she then came closer “Humans aren’t that great, they like to murder our kinds”

[not-so-free-frieda]

corinnebby‌:

“Who knows? I wouldn’t test it out though if I were you, best to just believe it.” Corinne tipped her head to the side slightly, her gaze still focused on the other. “I am different. Different than anyone you’ll know anyway. And I get that, my mama is very protective of me. I’m the baby, the star child. But I need my space to experience things. I like to sneak away when she’s busy with her business and her stupid little lapdog who follows her everywhere she goes.”

“Can’t say I ever want to try anything like that” she signed “Say, how did you learn sign?” she added, then setting her hands down, watching as the other spoke about her mother. “I guess I’m probably different from anyone you’ll know too? Your coven follows my grandmother probably” She mused “You have to have your fun, I mean your accent sounds different to from here, you gotta explore this state...It’s wild I hear”

“How fascinatin’.” Corinne shrugged her shoulders. She watched the other, inky eyes devoid of emotion. It was an easy switch for her, to become so unhinged that the numbness could easily seep into her being. “And what has you so intrigued, hm?” Her lip curled up into a sneer, toes pressing into the thick mud on the ground.

The halfbreed sighed “Who knows, maybe my mom said it to stop me being scared of things?” she signed, not even sure if the other was keeping up with her signing. “You seem so....Different” she mused, then getting up “I don’t meet too many. My mom, likes to keep track of where I am...Thinks I’m too young to be out and about.”

[not-so-free-frieda]

“It is highly illogical to believe such a thing. There’s always a way to kill something. Just because there hasn’t been one, doesn’t mean there won’t be one. I’m sure people thought the same of vampires but that quickly changed.” Corinne rubbed the others touch from her arm, a deep frown settling on her features. She kept walking from the other, bare feet stepping over the wet earth of the forest. She turned for a moment to look back at the other. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I guess like diamonds that angels and demons could kill each other...But nothing mortal has ever been able to finish us off, just hurt us...” she mused, flexing her own fingers, her bones giving a little crack, then pulling her knees up to her chest, careful blue eyes watching her. The halfbreed then gave a sigh, ‘Intrigue’ she then signed, even if she wasn’t sure that the other knew sign language at all.

[not-so-free-frieda]

corinnebby‌:

“That’s what I said, isn’t it? You should know better than to put your hands on other people.” She stated with a cool tone, her gaze falling to the other’s hand. “I imagine you could kill me in seconds, but don’t forget, I also have the ability to do the same to you. And if you think you scare me, you are sadly mistaken. Your scare tactics to look like a big bad wolf do nothing to me.” She stepped away from the other, disinterest filling her gaze as she watched her. She look away, bringing her attention back to the body, her eyes empty with the ever present feeling of numbness. “Such a sad fate for such a pretty girl.” Her usual monotone drawl filled the air as she turned away, starting to walk away from both the body and the other.

Frieda looked at the other in confusion “You couldn’t kill me...I mean, there hasn’t been a definitive way to kill demons...Well, at least by anything that’s mortal” she said in confusion, then letting go of the other, flexing her fingers as she relaxed her claws back to nails, then crossing her legs and picking at the bones to see what was left of the body, her nose wrinkled at the others words, glancing at her in more confusion as she began to walk away.

Corinne remained unphased by the other, her own eyes swirling with darkness as her expression twisted. “Know your place, halfbreed. I didn’t have to share her with you. She was mine, and I don’t usually let people destroy what belongs to me. So be grateful and keep your aggression to yourself. Next time I won’t be so kind.” She hissed. Corinne never moved from her spot, her gaze staying firmly on the other. She reached her hands out for the bone when it was held out to her, quickly snatching it up and sliding it into her side bag. She stood swiftly, brushing dirt from her dress as she did. “This will do nicely.”

Frieda grabbed the girls arm in a crushing grip, showing her teeth again “Halfbreed?” she asked into the others mind, hating the term. It was something her grandmother had called her and her siblings, the very term making her drop the others arm. Her lips set into a firm line, her piercing blue eyes falling back to the mess she had made of the body, the dead woman was now unrecognisable and a side of the young halfbreed made her feel bad, yet the blood she could taste made her feel incredibly excited.

Corinne shook her head at the other’s noise, clicking her tongue at her. “We’ll have none of that now. You’ll be patient, an’ good.” Corinne sat close by as the other’s voice filtered through her mind. “You’ll get used to it at some point, you just have to actually talk to people and then you’ll get better with it.” She leaned forward as the other ripped into the body, her smile growing as blood flicked up into her face. It was such a fascinating sight to see, she’d never seen anything like it before.

Frieda showed her sharp teeth to the other and let out a huge snarl at her, one of warning, one that was more beast like as the blood began to change her into something more aggressive, warning snarls slipping from her- showing she was her mothers daughter. Frieda made quick work of the body, stripping meat and organs off it as if she were a child going mad at a pizza party, her eyes almost black with the raw animal side of her, her claws sharp and even her demon horns beginning to show. It was then that her thick black wings burst out from her back, her feathers puffed in an excitement of an actual meal that wasn’t a rodent or a pigeon, one that she hadn’t had to whine to Carrie to catch for her. The demon made a noise, a hiss of the demon language ‘Verbis Diablo’ before setting her hands over the carcass and yanking out the Thoracic Vertebrae and offering it to the witch, the bone of her choosing.

Corinne watched as the other changed, her interest growing as her eyes changed. “Not yet, okay? You’re gonna wait ‘til I say so.” She nodded slightly, her hands still placed on the body between them. She stayed still as the other touched her, her smile growing slightly. “See now, that’s better, ain’t it? Now I won’t feel like I’m jus’ talkin’ to myself. We’re gonna be friends, me and you.” She spoke in a tone that left no room for disagreement. “You can eat now.”

The demon gave a whimper, wanting to disobey the other, every cell in her body willing her to do so in her demon nature. The woman then moved her hand down and held the others arm so that they stayed connected, keeping the line of communication open “I guess so, though I’m not really used to talking to people and all” her voice still continuing to go right into the others mind. As soon as the other was giventhe go ahead she let go of Corinne and with an animal like power began to tear into the body, ripping it to absolute shreds.

[not-so-free-frieda]

“Very good.” She gave light praise when the other backed off, her attention staying with the dead body. “No no, that won’t do…” She shook her head, her fingers dropping to dig into the humans skin roughly. “It has to be something more personal than jewellery. I want a bone this time.” She looked up at the other, dark eyes unreadable. “You will feed, and you will give me one of the bones from her, okay? I’ll let you choose which one, but don’t disappoint me. I don’t like to be disappointed.” Corinne looked at the notebook when the other finished writing, a light smile gracing her lips. “Frieda. Well, it’s nice to meet you. I don’t find many people who are around my age, so it’s interesting to me to meet someone. Of course you’d be more interesting if you spoke, but I’m sure we’ll work that out.”

The demon kept herself crouched, her irises turning blood red when she caught scent of the dead girls blood and flesh, her fangs showing and her sharp lower canines, her nails becoming claw like. She then nodded at her head at her, already having an idea of what bone she could pull out. The girl pursed her lips when the other spoke about her own lack of speech, the demon coming closer and then ever so carefully placing her hands on the sides of her face “I can talk this way, through contact....” She said directly into the girls mind.

[not-so-free-frieda]

Corinne watched the other, soft pink lips pursing slightly. “You may eat when I’m done.” She stated firmly before bending down again to sit by the body. Nimble fingers pried apart lifeless lips, the fingers then sliding deeper to press against pearly white teeth. “I don’t think I want to keep these this time, but I want something to remember her. I just don’t know what…” She mumbled before looking to the other. “You don’t talk, I don’t think I like that.” She hummed softly before pulling her fingers from the girl’s mouth. “A halfbreed, how interesting. Now, should I call you Halfbreed or do you have a name that you’re going to share with me?”

Frieda immediately retracted like a well behaved dog, sitting back on her heels and watched as the other touched at the teeth of the deceased human. Frieda nodded and crept closer, turning over the lifeless womans hand and showing a ring, cocking her head at her. The demon whined slightly, not talking had been something that had driven her mothers insane over her short year on the Earth, though of course she wasn’t about to go into the explanation of how demons aged much more rapidly when young. The demon sighed and then took out a notebook from the satchel she had around her, scribbling down her name and showing it to the other, before smiling at her.

[not-so-free-frieda]

Corinne hummed a soft tune to herself, dark eyes staring down at the mess beneath her. Another instance of uncontrolled temper. If people just realised letting her have her own way was the way to stay alive, she wouldn’t have to keep doing this. “You humans never learn…” she clicked her tongue, fingers drawing over a set of still pale lips. Her head snapped up as the other jumped out, elegant hands wiping crimson over the white fabric of her dress. “Now you’re not human, are you? What are you?”

The halfling took a sniff at the air, smelling the rich blood and feeling her eyelids flutter heavily from it, she then crept closer, worried that the witch was going to let perfectly good food go to waste. Frieda looked at the other and simply offered a smile- unable to speak, having simply opted to not learn to. She then motioned horns on her head with her fingers, before miming a scream. Trying to tell the other she was both demon and banshee.
