Jasminka finally reveals she has a demonic spirit inside of her that she keeps at bay with snacks
Warnings: Ukraine famine mentioned (I have made the fic before the war) maybe medical neglect tw over eating tw
So you have a demon living inside of you? Amanda asked to make sure she heard right
Yep
Actually demons but yes
But if I feed them its all right
Wait so that time I lost the race cause of that donut was because of that
Im sorry I remembered that for you for too long...
Yes I always eat extra just in case
I promise I didnt mean to lose it back then
Im sure there is a cure Diana says in a serious tone while sounding a bit more worried than usual but still keeping her composure
No she raised a hand to stop her
I already made peace with them
We actually become kind of friends
I give them snacks to not destroy the world and they keep me company
She smiled her usual sweet smile
Like she was when she was offering some chocolate chip cookies
Just this matter was quite more serious
They are actually really misunderstood spirits
Sits down to start to tell the story
Many years ago back in Ukraine there was a human made Great Famine
And these spirits are all thats left
Lotte covered her mouth Diana looked shocked and all could Akko do is gasp
But Jasminka continued before seeing anymore reactions
She kept it to herself for too long
And she didnt know if she could continue if she would look everyone in the eye
They were so angry that they wanted to destroy all that pain and the only way they thought they could is to just destroy everything
For many years that was their plan
But they couldnt cause they were too weak
not without a body
Not without a host
And one day they found me
I was a lonely child I was using my summer days in Ukraine to lay outside on the grass and eating chips
And then they found me
At the start I didnt know what got into me I felt great pain and hunger
That 3 meals a day couldnt cover anymore I became angry and explosive
And had powers too big for my age
I got food from every place I could get my hand on and stole if I didnt
At the start my parents thought it was just emotions from starting to become a teenager
But when I blew up the kitchen at 11 which was too much power for an 11 year old and "my favorite place" as they liked to call it
they realized maybe there was something more to it they realized maybe there was something wrong
So they took me to see many witch doctors in many professions
That all didnt know what to do
Till I reached a spirit magic witch
Like Lotte
All eyes were turned to Lotte
Like me?
Yes How they found out what was wrong was they took me to a spirit magic user
And they talked to my spirits and told my parents what was wrong
I was very young so I dont remember very much
Just the whole if you wont eat enough the world might end
But all I remember after that trip I was allowed to eat a lot more snacks
And I finally felt like myself again
She posed cause she heard a small voice starting to speak
By the way I know Im not as good as those witches in spirit magic
But just know that if you ever need help with trying to communicate with them Im here said Lotte
And if you need help stealing some food Im here too Akko blurted
Sucy looked judging Akko's interruption and was about to make a snarky comment
But before she could say anything Jasminka said
Thanks I appreciate all the support I could get smiling her usual smile but a bit less worry free this time
Wait back to the all the world is ending bit Amanda said
Might she pointed
Thats what she worried that all they would see her is as a threat
Everyone else she had let close in the past has left
She needs to keep it together they are her friends after all
How do you handle the stress of complete doom over everything above your head?
When you are afraid of something for so long you start to barely notice it
And so do you want to have my number as an emergency contact for if you need food
Yes I would love to
Amanda is right you should have a safety plan
And I know you dont want to banish your spirits
And I respect that but I believe you need a plan b for if you somehow fail Diana said
She didnt like to think about that she usually thought about it only before she went to sleep a space where she knew she was helpless to do anything if everything turned wrong
And wonder if the next time she would wake in the morning everything would be gone
Diana continued Thats why we need to find something to protect you
Protect you she liked that
Usually others made it always sound like it was to prevent the whole world doom
They made it sound like only she is the problem that needs to be stopped
And wouldnt at all be in forever misery and pain or even gone too if it were to happen
Now she just realized that never heard that as a child hurt
A pain she didnt know she had
Um thank you she said while taking another bite of her chips and hoped no one will notice
Its the least I could d-
Diana got cut off by Jasminka crying bout
But the doctors said was no way
Maybe there wasent back then but since then the amount of magic we have and advancements we have made could be enough Diana retorted
But they said the magic was too strong she felt desperate
Thats what she knew for so long it pained her for so long and there might be a way?
She knew not to let her hopes up
But she also knew since then cause it seemed fixed her parents just kinda left it
They didnt know the anxiety she had felt each night
And they didnt know how her stomach hurt a lot of the time cause she couldnt take any chances and overate
But Diana is right
There might be new solutions
Diana continued again The thing is we dont need to contain it we just need to redirect it
Till you get something to eat which at max could be a few hours
If its with teleportation magic or converting the energy
We are lucky to be in a school with the number 1 expert in magic conversions
Professor Croix
And Im not sure if you are aware but she owes us
And I will accompany you Akko raised her hand clearly trying to be there for her even if her biggest experty is Shiny Chariot
You cant you are already failing your classes Diana replied immediately
Akko's face had fallen and looked like a sad puppy
Diana coughed you cant all the time
We will take turns in accompanying you
I will come most of the time for the technicalities and Lotte will come too
Me??
Yes since you have more knowledge of the technicalities of spirits and how they work
Lotte nodded
And other will come for emotional support since Im not always the best at it I admit
And I need Lotte's full attention
Did everyone understood Diana exclaimed
Everyone nodded in unity
Good
A weight had lifted off her chest they are really by her side
Not just for their own safety but for her
Now I will later make you a list of all the things we need to do to figure out a permanent solution
You dont need to carry that weight on your shoulders alone anymore
Diana gaze softened
She already stopped feeling that way
But still she was starving for any reassurance she could get
Talking about starving she noticed she reached the crums of the bag and opened some toffee
And she thought maybe she could be eating more for herself
And not just out of fear
Maybe this will be one of the last times she will have to
So these Days I was listening Summertime Sadness by Lana del Rey and I imagine an AU where Akko dislived herself after discovering Ursulla toke off her Magic. After some years Diana's gratuated in Summer but she carries the guilt in her heart about the way she treated Akko and wish she could Go back time to make up with her, but.. it's too late.
