บท 13: Chapter 13 True Beauty is Beneath the Skin

Calming waves pushed themselves over Kat, starting in the centre of her head and working their way down to her fingers and toes. It was an extremely calming sensation and Kat felt like she could drift back to sleep. *Wait a minute, back to sleep? Where is my crippling pain and torturous fire?* Kat's eyes shot open. She was still in the bag she slept in and pondered what the point even was before another wave ran across her body and her eyes went wide.

Every wave that passed through her was flaying another layer of her skin; she was surrounded by it. The waves continued speeding up and the bag filled with dead and dying skin before one final tremble rocked through Kat, peeling of her nails. Kat paused, stunned as her hair floated down in her vision. She was scared to move; she couldn't see her hands or feet and she dared not touch her head. * Ok this has to be worse than the pain, right? At least it was over soon enough. *

Carefully extracting herself from her awkward sleeping arrangements, Kat noticed the skin on her arms was pale and smooth and her nails seemed fine. Reaching up timidly she felt for the top of her head and to her relief found she retained or regrew hair after the incident. Quickly tidying up her remains, she tied the overflowing bag shut and went to examine herself more closely. * Ok, this is weird. My nails look about the same, but my skin is really pale, like I haven't seen the sun in three years pale. * Kat's tail twitched in annoyance and that only increased her confusion as she felt it brush through her hair halfway down her back.

Reaching around Kat confirmed her suspicions. She now had long hair, much longer than she ever really wanted or bargained for. * I can't even decide if this is easier to hide than the tail. I mean sure my hair is really long but that's not so bad, my skin though, surely someone will notice that, right? I've only dropped a few shades but I'm closer to paper than person at the moment. Well maybe I can cut my hair and then put on a jacket, hide most of my arms… but what the hell am I going to do about my face…* Kat pinched her nose and sighed. *I can deal with this later. Wait a minute, can I? *

Quickly glancing over at the clock Kat was half relieved and half annoyed to find that it read 5:00 exactly. * Clearly I didn't get much sleep but I feel mostly fine? At least I have time to clean everything up. Now do I get rid of the bag or do I clean up? No that's a stupid question. * Kat quickly prepared clothes for the day, before entering the bathroom. Just as she was about to remove her outfit, she remembered she was still wearing the kimono. Ok, the system said I can just will it away, does that still work? Concentrating for a moment the dress quickly faded leaving Kat stunned at how easy it was.

* Guess that works. * Kat stepped into the shower and turned on the water. Just as she was starting to relax she noticed something strange. What is wrong with the water? Kat stopped and examined her hair and arms to see that the water was bouncing straight off her instead of clinging to her skin. Well that's weird, does that mean I can't shower properly anymore? Quickly stepping out of the shower Kat attempted to dry herself only to confirm that she wasn't wet in the slightest.

* So… I really hope that things other than water slide off my skin and hair and this isn't another line of inconveniences I've been subjected to. * Putting on her clothes and hiding her tail, Kat took another glance in the mirror as she pondered what to do about her hair. * Perhaps I should just cut it? Surely that won't end well for me though. I'm not even sure I have scissors.* Quickly pulling open the drawers of the bathroom vanity, Kat was surprised to find a sharp set of scissors clearly well taken care of. * I sincerely apologise to whoever's these are for using them without permission. * Kat brought the scissors down on her hair only for them to get caught. Kat tried applying more pressure but stopped just short of putting her full strength into the scissors.

Clearly whatever had happened to her hair had made it much stronger as well. *Well that's just great, how am I supposed to hide this mess?* Gently returning the scissors to their hiding place Kat sighed. *I don't even have anything to hold my hair up because I tend to keep it short enough that school doesn't mind. Shit maybe I'll need to borrow something from Lily. Wait, would that work?* Focusing on her hands Kat tried to imagine just her hair pins from her Demonic Attire. Kat stared at her hand for thirty seconds intently picturing just the pins in her mind and just as she was about to dismiss the idea, something seemed to twist and all of a sudden, her hair had wrapped itself around her hair sticks. Uh… How did that work? I thought it just let my outfit appear why can it also move my hair, system?

USER KAT SEEMS TO POSSESS A SLIGHTLY MUTATED FORM OF DEMONIC ATTIRE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR SUCCUBI AND SOMEWHAT RARE FOR OTHER DEMONS. THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR MUTATION ARE UNKNOWN, FURTHER STUDY WILL BE REQUIRED.

* Well that's, reassuring? Maybe? At least I don't have to struggle with learning how to tie my hair back with the things. Guess I better get ready to wake the kids. * Finishing up in the bathroom Kat returned to her bedroom to deposit her things before stopping and remembering she'd simply phased out of her attire. Kat then proceeded to wake the orphanage before being confronted with Sylvie wearing a smug grin on her face."Yes, I know you have sharp eyes Sylvie, we can talk about it with Lily when she arrives ok," said Kat.

Sylvie just shrugged liked she had expected that answer and huddled around Kat's legs as she entered the dining room.

After breakfast Kat returned to her room with a pleased Sylvie in tow. Despite Kat's attempts to insist the girl have a shower, she wouldn't budge and Kat still struggled with Sylvie's demonic charms. Opening the door to the room Kat was mildly surprised to find the garbage bag still in the corner. * Woops, guess I'll have to sneak that in with the trash later, or maybe I'll get rid of it tonight. Hopefully Sylvie and Lily won't ask about it. *"Hey Kat, what's in the bag beside your bed?" asked Sylvie.* Why do I even bother. *

"You really don't want to know Sylvie?" said Kat with a slight shiver. The young girl looked up at Kat with questioning eyes but seemed to know that some questions truly weren't worth answering. Taking a seat on the bed Kat stretched slightly and leaned against the wall before Sylvie sat on her lap facing her and said,

"Can you wrap me in your tail Kat? It's the best." Kat just smiled at the girl and let her tail snake out from under her shirt before she paused and then began using the side of the spade tip to tickle the girl. Sylvie's cheeks puffed up as she tried not to laugh, her eyes screamed betrayal at her friend for even attempting this. Kat withered slightly under Sylvie's gaze and wrapped her tail around the girl before lifting her up a bit and positioning her against her stomach.

* I swear if my demonic powers are half as good as Sylvie's no one will ever be able to stop me. * Kat decided it was best to just relax. She had an adorable child hugging her, the peaceful morning air drifting in through the window, and she was all up to date on her studies. There was nothing she had to worry about right now.

I've decided to add a some intersting facts from when I was writing this story. To counteract all the complaining about formatting. Also I plan to fix the first few chapters within a week. but I don't quite have the time right now.

Vongrak's Fun Fact 1: Did you know Gramps wasn't always his name? In the orignal four chapters I was using 'gramps' and 'the old man' as a placeholder until I could figure out what to call him

บท 14: Chapter 14 Breaking Into Your Best Friend’s House

This peaceful silence was, of course, the perfect time for Kat's phone to ring. Checking the number Kat saw that it was Lily's and picked it up."Hey Lily what's wrong?" asked Kat.

"Ok, so my parents just left to go shopping but I was given strict orders not to leave the house. Something about wasting my time with you instead of studying and that it was having a bad effect on my grades. Well, I told them that I had been studying with you and in fact you had better grades than me in a few subjects. They-they didn't take it that well, so I was wondering if you could come around instead. That way even if they come back I can say I followed what they said and stayed home," said Lily.

"Look Lily, I'm perfectly happy to come over but are you sure that's ok? I don't want to cause more trouble between you and your parents," said Kat.

"No, no… Um, no, it's fine. I mean, never mind. I'd like you to come though if that's ok and I'm sure Sylvie will complain unless you bring her so feel free to let her tag along as well," said Lily.

"Ok I'm on my way," said Kat before hanging up. Looking down at the girl on her lap Kat said, "Looks like we are heading to Lily's do you want to come?" Sylvie responded with bright eyes and a smile before waiting for Kat to let her go.

"Wait you need to shower first missy," said Kat.

"Most of the others don't shower in the morning, do I have to?" replied Sylvie.

"I shower every morning and you're a growing girl, so you need to take care of yourself," said Kat. That seemed to placate Sylvie but she said, "Promise you won't leave without me?" Kat nodded and released Sylvie who bolted out of the room. Kat sat there waiting for a moment considering her options before deciding to wait on the chair in the entrance hall. Sylvie would probably spot her.

Sylvie didn't take that long to shower and quickly ran up to Kat in a light blue dress with a large yellow sunhat on.

"You look very cute in that Sylvie lets go," said Kat grabbing the little girls hand.

Just as the two stepped through the door, a voice rang out from behind Kat. "Kat, not right now, but later, perhaps tomorrow even, I'd like to have a chat with you if that's alright?" said Gramps.

Kat glanced over the shoulder and saw the same gruff old man as usual and smiled, "anytime you want Gramps, I'm heading off to Lily's for a bit but I'll make time to see you. Maybe if you didn't run off to hide after you cooked breakfast every morning, I'd talk to you more." The old man just chuckled and headed towards his office. * Well that was a bit weird. Trying to talk to me twice in one month what's gotten into you old man?* Dismissing her concerns Kat started walking towards Lily's.

It was a slow walk for the most part, but Kat didn't mind and was happy to keep pace with Sylvie, that is until she got another call from Lily.

"What's up Lily?" said Kat.

"My parents have got home early, I still want you to come over just, I dunno sneak in maybe," whispered Lily.

"Are you sure we want to do this?" asked Kat.

"Y-yes" said Lily.

Kat was most of the way to Lily's as well and when they arrived at her street, she stopped. * Maybe I should sneak in from the back. * Heading to the street over from Lily's, Kat walked down until she found the house that bordered Lily's own. So do I just sneak around back? Or do I ask permission? Glancing at Sylvie Kat shrugged and headed to the house and knocked on the door.

A young woman in her twenties opened the door and tilted her head as she looked at the pair. She had short cut golden blonde hair that fell just past her ears and a set of black pants and a white shirt. She had a smile that nearly blinded the two girls as she spoke.

"How might I help you girls?"

"Would you like the truth or something more believable?" said Kat.

"Hmm, truth I guess? Now I'm kind of curious," said the woman.

"I want to sneak into my friend's house through your backyard because despite studying with my friend for an entire week at school finishing all out assessments a week before that her parents insist I'm a bad influence on their daughter and told her not to visit me so we decided I'd visit her instead," said Kat. The women shrugged.

"Seems reasonable to me. I'm Vivian by the way, feel free to use my backyard whenever," with this announcement, she walked back inside. Kat and Sylvie shared a glance as they walked around the side of Vivian's house. They were just about to start figuring out how to tackle the fence when the back door opened and Vivian walked out carrying a ladder."Thought this might help you girls. I'll put it away after you climb over so you will need to find some other way out but this should make it easier," said Vivian. Ok I know this is really helpful and all but why are you just going along with this?

"Um, not to be rude or anything but why are you helping us so much Vivian? Aren't we kind of suspicious?" asked Kat. Vivian smiled and seemed to think for a moment about answering Kat but then Sylvie started looking up at her with big eyes begging for the story to be told. * Yes Sylvie use your mystic Succubus powers to charm this girl into giving up her secrets. * Wait…

"Well, I'm not one to dwell on the past so much but if it's a request from you girls how can I say no?" said Vivian "You see, back when I was your age…" she looked at Sylvie for a moment before bursting out in laughter.

"When I was your age," Vivian continued, this time looking at Kat, "I had a friend with strict parents like that and her parents always hated me, said I was corrupting their poor innocent daughter. Didn't matter I was top of my class, and it certainly didn't matter that my best friend had a fiery temper and got into more fights than I can shake a stick at; they always thought I was the bad guy. Anyway, to make a really long story short, her parents kept pressing and pressing for us to not speak to each other and we drifted for a while." A wistful look came over Vivian, and her ever present smile faded for just a moment,

"But it's fine now really it is. My friend and I got together again once we hit uni. We were so much happier for it. In fact, we live together sharing this house. Well I say sharing, I pay for it mostly because I'm the best architect and designer in town," finished Vivian puffing out her chest proudly and beaming at the two like a kid who finished first in a running race.

Sylvie walked over to Vivian and patted her knee indicating for her to bend down and when she did Sylvie patted her on the head. The smile that split Vivian's face was so radiant that Kat was surprised she didn't go blind. Scooping up Sylvie in a hug like she was holding a stuffed bear, Vivian continued to beam. * Who is the child here Sylvie or Vivian? I feel like I'm going blind looking at this woman. But she's actually pretty cool. *"Hey do you think I could get your phone number? I'm maybe looking at moving soon and maybe you could…" said Kat, finding it hard to continue as she watched Vivian nodding her head energetically. Exchanging contacts, Sylvie and Kat finally prepared the ladder to scale over to Lily's house before Vivian interrupted.

"Hey, are you girls sisters? I'm just curious," asked Vivian.

"No." "Yes," responded Kat and Sylvie at the same time.

The pair instantly locked eyes and Kat felt overwhelmed with guilt. * Damn. She's as much a sister to me as anyone. I shouldn't have said that. *

"Yes. Yes we are," said Kat, but it didn't seem to help. Reaching down, Kat went to wrap her tail around Sylvie. It had become a habit at this point and seemed the best way to comfort Sylvie but as Kat reached out she paled even further than her morning transformation. Her head creaked towards Vivian whose eyes had gone wide and mouth formed a perfect 0. Sylvie stared at Kat wide eyed, worried about the mistake she had caused glancing nervously towards Kat. Kat gave a light smile in return before Vivian asked, "What was that?"

Kat coughed, hands rising to her neck as she failed to give rise to the word she wanted so desperately to say: 'nothing'. Kat thought fast and instead went for, "Nothing to be worried about?"

Vivian pouted, somehow managing to look adorable despite her age, "Come on, can't you tell me? That seems so interesting. I've never seen anything like it please Kat."

Kat felt her will crumbling underneath Vivian's gaze. Why does it seem like everyone else has better compulsion powers than me? I thought Lily said I should get a charm, or something so why do these girls have it? Kat sighed and looked Vivian dead in the eyes,

"Do you want to break into my best friends' room with me?" asked Kat. Before she finished, Vivian had already climbed halfway up the ladder with her large grin back on her face.

"Well what are you to waiting for? Oh, this is so exciting," said Vivian as she climbed into Lily's back yard.

Vongrak's Fun Facts 2: Following on from the previous fun fact. Gramps does not actually have a name. I've never been great at naming things, and I still haven't gotten around to actually giving him a proper first and last name. Maybe I'll figure it out in the future but I don't think it's important.

P.S I think I've fixed up the previous chapters to remove the text walls. Most of the speech should be good now, hopefully I haven't missed too many
