Sleep didn’t find her that night. She was in her bath, in warm water, while trying to focus on relaxing. [It decided. Tomorrow I am going to go to Sam’s and try to buy essential oils or stuff like that…]
She lay down in the bath so the water level was under her nose. [I wonder if I can get higher grade antipsychotics or sleeping pills here… It is going to cost a lot of money but I can try seeing a doctor.]
She blew bubbles. [Maybe I should just speak about it to Crewel. He should be able to make a sleeping potion.]
Her alarm rung. She got out of the water and wore her bathrobe. Victoria looked at herself in the mirror. The dark circles were even darker. They seemed eggplant-ish. The woman looked at her concealer. [Nearly empty. I need to buy some. I should ask Sam or Crewel where to buy a good one.]
She decided to wear a black mom high waisted jeans with a black t-shirt. The top had a rose held by a hand with a “Will you marry me ?” written across the shoulders. To complete the look she wore a brown belt with a silver chain hanging from it and some black sneakers.
She looked at herself in the mirror. She was tired and it was visible despite the makeup. Victoria wasn’t just physically tired, she was becoming mentally tired. It was funny how her mental disorder was really 2 extremes. She was so hype that she was physically and mentally drained. [What a life… I wouldn’t even wish for my worst enemy to have this sh*t.]
She prepared breakfast for everyone like always. Yuu arrived in the kitchen, still in PJs and worn out. Yuu said in a little voice. “I don’t feel well today. I don’twant to go to school today…”
Victoria sighed. They both weren’t in good shape today. “Go back to bed after eating a little, I will invent an excuse for you.”
Grim jumped on the occasion. “I don’t want to go to school either !”
The woman grabbed Grim and carried him. “Do you feel sick ?”
She put her hand on his nose. “Mmmmh you don’t seem hot. Aren’t you lying to me young Sir ?”
The demon struggled and said. “Don’t touch my nose like that !”
Victoria had a faint smile. “Grim, it is the only way for me to know if you have a fever. You have fur all over you.”
Grim changed his strategy. “I have a tummy ache !”
She felt his stomach. “It doesn’t seem tense… You are lying young Sir ! You are going to school today and bring me your notes.”
Grim was dejected. He mumbled. “How did she do… Is she a witch ?”
Victoria bent and whispered, making the demon jump. “No, I am even worse… I am your mom, Grim.”
Grim threw his paws in the air. “You’re not my MOOOOOM !! You didn’t give birth to me !”
She patted his head with a smile on her face. “Family isn’t always about blood, but the one you choose.”
They both went to school while Yuu shut themself in their room.
Victoria scratched her head when she was left alone in the corridor, swiping the floor. She was tidying the carpet when suddenly a voice came from nowhere. “Where can I find the toilet, please ?”
Victoria answered without looking. “3rd door on the left.”
She yawned, hearing the footsteps going away. When she looked up, expecting to see someone entering the bathroom, but she saw no one. She frowned. Maybe he was fast ? [He must really have wanted to pee. Oh well, It is none of my business.]
She continued to swipe until recess.
When the students were enjoying their time off. She knocked on Crewel’s door. “Excuse me, Professor Crewel ? I would like to speak with you for a few minutes…”
He looked above his papers. “Dr Devi ? Come in ! What is happening ? … You seem tired.”
She had a faint smile. “Yeah about that… Do you have something to help me sleep ? I can’t sleep well these days.”
Crewel wondered. She truly seemed at the end of the rope. “I can make you a tonic. It won’t substitute a good night of sleep but it will help a bit to put you to sleep.”
Victoria smiled. “Thank you…”
That afternoon, she was going back to her duties when Crowley found her. He seemed quite angry. “Mrs Devi ! I can be gracious and magnanimous but Yuu has to attend classes ! They are already lost in class, they don’t need time off.”
Victoria was annoyed. “What. Did. You. Say ?”
Crowley crossed his arms. “I hope they have a good excuse for not coming to class today !”
Victoria was clearly not having it. “And witnessing an overblot should be a good excuse ?”
Crowley opened his eyes wide, sweating. Seeing him not answering her, she saw red. “So you mean that WE are supposed to act like normal when anybody here can hurt us with their magic like a flick of their wrist ? You want a child that puts their life in danger to go to school ? For F sake where are we ?”
Sweating, Crowley answered. “In Night Raven College ?”
She tilted her head, eyes wide. “Is it for the sake of your quota ? All of that just to have a good class average ? Are you kidding me ?”
She observed him, her eyes beginning to be filled by tears. “You swore it wasn’t going to happen again… You’re just a liar.”
It was Sam who found her first, crying against his door. “What happened doctor imp ?”
Victoria looked at him through her tears. “I am a bad guardian. I won’t let Yuu attend school today because they witnessed something bad and Crowley hold me responsible for that.”
Sam sighed and pushed the door. “Oh, Leona’s overblot hu ? Come in.”
She heard a voice speak. “You’re the worst.”
She turned around. No one was here.
Sam looked behind him. “What happened ?”
Victoria squinted her eyes. “Nothing… Just the wind, I think.”
He made her an instant hot cocoa. “Are you feeling better ?”
Victoria nodded and blew on her drink. “Yeah, thank you… I just don’t sleep enough those days.”
Sam’s eyes sparkled. Victoria looked at him, unsure. “Yeeees ???”
Sam screamed full of joy “IN STOCK !! A pillow so wonderful you will sleep on it in no time ! And to a discount price of 50 madols !”
She sighed. Today was a long day.
