On instinct, I handed my flash card to Mistress Crandall instead of Luka and walked in front of the Professor's desk. Taking a deep breath, I focused on my succubus spirit, calling forward her power so I could feed from Luka, knowing that the power gifted to him by Loki would be ideal for the creation I had in mind. Reality Warping in itself causes mayhem when people are reacting to the warped reality, and then it causes complete chaos when the person being targeted realizes that their reality has been warped. I take little sips of Luka's aura, small enough to where no one in the class, aside from my Fated, would know what I was doing. Once I felt his power churning through my bloodstream, I took a stance pictured in the book, my feet slightly spread apart, and my arms hanging loosely by my side, my palms facing in a downright position, ironically toward Hell, as I drew on Loki's power. I closed my eyes and pictured the scene I wanted.
The classroom starts to shake, the ground wobbling; with each minute that passes, the quakes get stronger. The sound of the ground shifting grows louder until suddenly, it opens up, splitting right down the middle. The students sitting along the fault line fall into the abyss, their screams echoing as they descend into the darkness. A slight breeze can be felt amongst the chaos of the world dividing, a breeze that brings with it an artic chill, causing everyone in the class to freeze, making it impossible to move their limbs. The freezing wind makes the tips of their ears and nose red, their lips blue, and the tears dripping from their eyes due to the ferocity of its blow are freezing on their cheeks. Then comes the lighting, striking, unrelenting, electrocuting every other student. It's static, starting fire wherever it touches. I grin like a madwoman when I see Kayla set afire, her skin melting, just as I pictured her earlier. The sight feels my body with satisfaction. But still, I'm not done; I have the grand finale. The lights begin to flicker amongst all the chaos, each flicker lasting longer than the last until the flickering stop and the bulbs explode, showering everyone with glass and nicking their skin. With no lights on, the classroom becomes pitch black, so dark that you feel blind, your eyesight gone. And then the noises start up. First, the demonic screams of monsters long gone, then comes the sound of tearing flesh, followed by the echoing screams of someone dying, and lastly comes the manic laughter, a laugh so terrifying that it'll haunt you in your dreams.
And then, with the rise of my hands, my palms facing upward toward the heavens, it all stops, and the classroom is restored to normality; the only changes are the terrified expressions on the student's faces and the shocked look on the proctors.
Smiling, I turn to Luka and give him a quick wink before skipping to my desk and taking a seat. Once seated, I flick my wrist and cover the classroom in Divine Light, restoring the energy in the room, removing the residual darkness that had lingered behind me, and releasing the students from their fear.
While waiting in my seat for the midterms to end and watching the other presentations, I found that I didn't care about the others' reactions toward my display. So, what if all the students are terrified of me now; let them fear me. So, what if the scenes I've created somehow get back to the council; let them know my power. Because from this day forth, no one will fuck with me, and after today, everyone in the Four Kingdoms will know my strength, will, and the darkness that taints my soul.
**AUTHOR NOTE**
--------------------------
*These chapters in this upload might seem smaller, and that's because they are. There's a reason behind this though. I want DA to be more cost efficent for my readers, especially since you guys have been so patient with me. So I went through the novel on AS, checked word count on my side of things vs cost to unlock chapters, and discovered the short chapters are actually more cost efficent than the longer chapters.* ***650 words=10 coins 5 (650 word) chapters= 3250 words=50 coins
1500 words=27 coins 2 (1500 word) chapters=3000 words=54 coins*** *So, I'm going to try and keep my chapter uploads closer to 650 words, under 1000. Please let me know if this is something you'd like me to continue or if you prefer me to just upload the longer chapters.**
**THIS COMMENT IS FOR US READERS**

*Doing the math for Kindle Vella VS AS (same content upload)... total cost for AS so far is $30 (with Valentine's day discount applied), and the total cost on KV is $15*
***Currently KV is only availble in the US, but I'll annouce when its available everywhere.***
