Do I have to be evil?

"She may look like an Angel, but deep down she's a demon and nothing can change that."  I've lived in this town my whole life but I will never understand why we all just assume who's 'good' and who's 'bad' just by what are. I'm out to change that, prove that just because you may have been born as something seen as bad, doesn't mean you have to be. Or at least, I hope you don't. Juniper "June" Crowe || Demon || 125

Burning. She smelt it before she saw the smoke. June took off running, hopeful that she’d be able to help somehow. Her stomach fell to her feet basically when she saw who’d obviously caused it. Ira was probably one of her least favorite demons in the entire town, but only because of how much she scared the other girl. “W-What are you doing?” Although she wasn’t sure if she wanted to know.

Ira noticed the girl was so close, but only when she spoke. She knew the girl, another demon, and a shitty one at that. “I’m sending a message.”

[notsobad-june-blog]

June tugged at her shirt nervously, worried of saying the wrong thing to the demon. “Couldn't you just send a strongly worded letter?” She already knew a was most likely going to say, but still decided to try.

Ira watched as the fire burned in front of her. She had started the fire herself, as a warning to the worker of hers that was supposed to live inside of the house. She knew that the man was not there, and she was careful to make sure it was only his house. He was the one that crossed her, and if anyone else was punished for his crime, it would not make for a good message. She was going to wait there for the fire to die down, but she heard footsteps behind her and began to move away slowly, turning around to see who was there.

SNOW! || Open

Marty’s life felt lighter with Onofrio dead. She thought she would be this grieving widow but she wasn’t. She was anything but. She could go outside and not feel like he was going to pop around a corner or that Ira would bring him there to terrorize her. He was dead. She was free. Well, as free as she could be when her soul was owned by someone else.

With freshly fallen snow, Marty set off for the park. The was the snow clung to the trees and the play structure as the children ran amuck was spectacular. It could have been the general happy state she was in or the pleasure of freshly fallen snow, but Marty was loving it. 

“Watch out!” She shouted after forming a perfect snowball and launching it across the park. She didn’t really have much of a target seeing as she was never much of an athlete but it would have been rude if she didn’t give the people a heads up. 

[notsobad-june-blog]

June loved how the park looked after it had just snowed. It made her feel like everything was pure and good, which was everything she hoped to be in life. Although it did annoy her when the snowball hit the back of her head, and even more so when she realized it wasn't a kid who’d done it. But she smiled and pretended like she didn’t care, even giggled a little bit as she made her own snow ball. She threw it a little to hard though, June realized that when she heard it hit the girl, she just hoped that she wasn't human.

“Really?” Amane shook her head, “A white tree? I guess we can do that if we have super colorful ornaments and rainbow lights.” She yanked the door open to the Christmas Tree Shop. “Totally a star. I think after meeting a few angels makes it weird to shove a tree up the butt of one.”

She nodded her head and laughed at her friends comment about the angel, although that wasn’t the reason why she didn’t want to put an angel on the tree. “Can I pick out the star? I promise that it will be the prettiest star you’ve ever seen.”

Invidia loved post-Christmas season. The level of Envy overflowed and recharged her batteries. The woman who coveted her best friend’s new bag or the teens who were jealous that their friend got the newest phone made her skin tingle with power as she walked by. 

She stopped at a food truck at an intersection. While she waited, someone came up behind her. It wasn’t a surprise that she could feel a bit of envy in their aura. “Someone is a little envious,” She commented as she turned with a smile. Every conversation was a potential opportunity to gain a soul.

[notsobad-june-blog]

June was having a fairly good day, everyone around her was in a good mood because of the holidays and that’s all that really mattered to her. Although, she was not expecting to run into another demon. She rolled her eyes as they made eye contact. “Invidia! How lovely to see you today.”

She sat on top of a church roof, night had fallen and the final mass of the night had been done. Her wings glowed brightly in the night as she gazed out at the people milling about in the parking lot, excitedly getting home for christmas the next morning. She couldn’t help but to smile, of all the human traditions she had come across in her time, this one had to be her favourite. She lifted her face and sang out to the night sky…

“Said the night wind to the little lamb, do you see what I see Way up in the sky, little lamb, do you see what I see A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king, do you know what I know A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere, listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere! listen to what I say The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light” 

[notsobad-june-blog]

June had never been to church, mainly because she’d never been welcomed there. She’d attempted to go to a service once, but they told her the place would burn down as soon as she set foot in there. She did like to go by churches though and listen to the music, she felt as if it made her more good, more pure. 

June was surprised when she heard someone singing though, and it took her a minute to figure out where it came from. Looking up at the roof she saw someone sitting there, she was pretty sure the girl was a fae. Once Aine was done singing she called up to her, “Merry Christmas!”

“Oh my Goddess, no. Don’t give me money. I mean like, more potions for my hair or like more crazy shoes? I don’t know, June.” Amane was hard to shop for because she never knew what she wanted and as long as it was cute and colorful, she loved it. 

“Great! You have my everlasting friendship. I’ll grab some of the other stuff, too.” Amane was an only child. She never lived with another girl her own age, well mentally her own age. June was much older than she was. But, all in all, having June was like having a sister and Amane loved it.

She nodded her head, “Potions and shoes, got it!” She laughed. She’d already purchased a few pairs of shoes for their friend, but she wasn’t going to tell her that. 

June smiled, giving her friend a big hug before she started towards where most of the stores in town were located. “I’ve always liked those white plastic trees, they’re pretty.” She commented to Amane. “What should we put on the top, an Angel or a star? Probably a star, an Angel would be way to cheesy.” 

[notsobad-june-blog]

itsamysunshine:

Amane followed turning off all the lights, “Aw, it’s our first Christmas together!!” It would also be the first Christmas away from home. Not that it bothered her not to have her father. He was a Marine. He spent a few holidays overseas and Amane was left with Grandma Wilson. But this would be the first time she was without either her father or grandmother. 

“I don’t know. Uh,” Amane thought about it, “Money for textbooks? What do you want?”

June giggled in excitement as the two girls left the apartment together. “I’m not going to just give you money, I mean I’ll give you some, but I want to get you an actual gift too.” She said rolling her eyes. Although she was pretty sure that she could find some of the textbooks her friend needed, either from her own collection of them, or other friends. 

She pretended like she was deep in thought for a moment. “Clothes, make-up, your everlasting friendship. Any of those things would be good!”

“Let’s go get a tree.” Amane looked around for her bag, “and we will need decorations.” She darted around the room tossing the cushions on the couch until she found her bag. “I’m ready! I am so excited for this. Christmas shopping! Whoo!”

“This is going to be the best Christmas ever!” She grinned as she grabbed the keys and started out the door. “You’re gonna have to tell me what you want as a present so that I can get it for you.” Although she already got her something, but she’d been thinking of getting her best friend another gift. 

[notsobad-june-blog]

itsamysunshine:

“I don’t think that would go along with your do-gooder directive.” Amane laughed along with June. She would definitely pay to see it happen, though. June never purposefully hurt someone.

“Can we?” Amane jumped for joy, “I’d totally love that! Do you know where we can go buy a tree?”

June giggled and bounced a little bit in excitement. “I’m sure someone in this town sells them, I mean you can find basically anything here.” She grinned as she started getting ready to head out. “Are you ready to do some last minute Christmas shopping?”

[notsobad-june-blog]

itsamysunshine:

“That would make sense, right? Cause it’s a Christian holiday.” She grumbled. “I can kick Finley for letting me believe that!”

“Let me kick him, I’ve been meaning to do it since I met him.” She laughed, thinking of the curly haired kid. “If you want though we can have a Christmas tree and a bunch of presents and it’ll be like a normal Christmas.” June smiled.

fiona-atcollege:

Fiona knew the girl, but only barely.  What was she really?  Was she a human girl like herself who was here by mistake, or was she something more horrible.  Fiona felt like she was jumping at shadows, but it was better safe than sorry.  She backed away from June and shook her head, her eyes wide.  “N-no leave me alone!”

She pouted at the other girl. June wasn’t really sure what she’d done to the girl to deserve this kind of treatment. “If you don’t want to give me the notes just say so.” She shrugged. 

[itsamysunshine-blog]

“I heard there’s some kind of demon tradition with dead bodies and a tree.” Amane cringed at the thought. “Is that a thing you do?”

[notsobad-june-blog]

“No!” She yelled, eye wide. She wondered what kind of impression Amane had of demons to even think that. “We don’t even celebrate. It’s too good and holy. Demons just kind of go around trying to shit on everyone’s mood.” 

[fiona-atcollege-blog]

Fiona was leaving the guidance Councillor’s office of the university, having just had a very interesting conversation.  It had been months, but Fiona still wasn’t convinced that she was surrounded by supernatural creatures.  Sure, some of the other residents acted a bit weird, but Fiona was a person of logic, and what she had just been told was decidedly NOT logical in the least.

When someone approached her, she flinched away from them.  She was sure that whatever it was, was innocent, but now that she knew the truth of Crossroads she found herself way more scared than accommodating.  “W- what do you want?”

[notsobad-june-blog]

June spotted a girl that she had a general class with and hurried to catch up with her. She’s missed the class from yesterday, and was hoping to borrow the notes off of the girl. But, was confused when she was met with a somewhat hostile response. She couldn’t help but wonder if the girl knew what she was, and was now scared by her. “Do you have the notes from class yesterday?” 

[itsamysunshine-blog]

“So, what are the standard Christmas traditions here at Crossroads?” Amane’s father was Catholic but he also observed the Shinto religion out of respect of Amane and her mother. So, their traditions were a little skewed.

[notsobad-june-blog]

“Well there are Christmas parties! Really it’s just a lot of drinking.” She laughed.

Shane shook his head “Know anyone a bit… nicer?  That will possibly use the souls for something good?”

She thought for a moment. “Not really, people who buy souls just use them for their own gain.” June paused. “I might know somebody willing to buy them from you, but she’d just kind of let them sit in a box somewhere really. Is that better?”

“I’m sure he wasn’t too happy about it.” Amane laughed to herself. “There’s that shifter club with the cages to dance in. Although, I feel like they make me feel like it’s a ploy to get unsuspecting girls up there to get eaten.” Crossroads had an eclectic nightlife. “Or that were pub with the hot bartenders.” Amane shimmied into a pair of leather pants while going through the less threatening places to go out.

“Hot bartenders are much nicer than getting eaten.” She laughed. “Maybe you’ll be the one who get’s lucky tonight.” June giggled, giving her friend a wink.
