Chapter 13- Fortune Teller







 "Oh I hope they aren't mad..."
 "Plus this wierd scar showed up outta nowhere...."
 "Oh good.... YOU'RE HERE!"
 Leefah sighed
 "Reports of another kidnapping has been called in, Truly tragic! It's unknown just what the police are doing to help these poor families! Here is a picture of the child who was last seen at his mother's friend's cousin's wedding."
 "Atlas, I'm not in trouble am I?..."
 "If you order me not to be mad for you sneaking out, then I can't be mad. Honestly it wouldn't matter all that much anyways, I can finally watch over you without being with you."
 "Well I'm still mad! You can't just go off alone! What if you hurt yourself?"
 "I was fine...." Leefah replied, scratching her arm.
 "UM! WHAT THE HELL'S THAT?!!"
 "I dunno... It started to pop up this morning on the way home... It looks like a skull though...."
 "It's the demon skull, a method to watch over the other person in the contract if the demonic servant is tasked at something requiring to leave the side of my master... It usually takes a week to appear."
 "AND WHAT'S ON YOUR BACK?! I NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE!"
 "It's the mark of the dragon... It's a long story... One of the few I'd rather not talk about..."
 "Fine... Way to give your best friend the 'tude"
 "The mark of the dragon is an ancient mark used by families from Dragon Valley... I didn't realize you were from there Leefah?"
 "And a lot of sunshine should be expected for those in sunset valley!" shouted the fat man on television.
 "I didn't know you were from there....."
 "Well... It's one of the few things I'll speak up to not wanting to talk about..."
 'Fine, did you hear Ahora got a boob job yesterday! Like OMG"
 "Really? Why? I thought they were fine the last time we spoke..."
 "I know right! And I'm over here with these little strawberries while she's hangin' her rack in the wind!"
 "Oh... I wouldn't say you're that small..."
 "Please don't make me regret putting fruit in your pancakes..."
 "Do you know where I can get a boobjob?"
 "Ew... No... Well actually... I think the guy that works in the copyroom at the journalist office gives them..."
 "That... Or I misinterpreted what he meant when he said he could 'handle my rack just nice, he new the PERFECT way to help me out..."
 "I don't..... I don't think you should speak to him.... I'll... Um... I'll handle it..."
 "Eh... Alright then.."
 "Miss Fly, don't forget to tell her what you told me last night..."
 "Really? You think I really should try it out?"
 "Try out what?"
 "My crystal ball, I used to tell fortunes for extra money years ago..."
 "Alright Atlas, I'll go..."
 Leefah held her arm, which began to burn again.
 "Sooo... The mark of the demon...."
 "And mark of the dragon..."
 "Didn't realize she was... THAT Leefah...."
 "Alrighty, Just down here..."
 "Wow I hope it still looks nice, And the alchemy station should be pretty fun too. I'm glad I found it."
 "I have been practicing, But I am a little rusty still...."
 "You poor thing... I'll send good vibes" she said stopping at the bottom. Leefah looked around at the now expanded basement.
 "Well come on now... Don't be shy..."
 "I'm not shy.... Just.... Just wondering what that thing in the glass is... It looks like your soul..."
 "Oh that?..."
 "It's my exes... The jerk cheated on me so I took him and locked it in the jar.... Can't believe I found him!"
 "You're kinda scary sometimes...."
 "I make giants cower in fear when I enter rooms... I'm that epic..."
 "If you say so..."
 "Alright.... Ready for this to begin?..."
 "You aren't going to take my blood are you?..."
 "No No.... That was just an Atlas thing..."
 "Oh good.... I was hoping to not loose anymore anytime soon..."
 "Time to call the star matrix into view..."
 "Wow! You picked it up! Can I hold it?!"
 "It's floating on it's own..."
 "Let's see... Aquarius.. Virgo..."
 "What do those words mean?..."
 "Astrological signs... they're the water-barer and maiden, Nothing to worry about... I think..."
 "WHOA!"
 "Oh no... Is something wrong?!"
 "That can't be... Anything but that..."
 "What is it? Is it lots of money? Or a job level increase?"
 "Or both... I'd love to have both..."
 "Well... You did get the symbol for love before the next one..."
 "What's the symbol for love mean?"
 "Hard to say... Usually an act of love is in your future... But the last one I can't be sure about..."
 Chasity looks into the ball and her look drops.
 "Oh god... I knew it.... The last symbol... Its... Its..."
 "MONEY!"
 "No Leefah... Death...." Chasity replied, rotating the crystal ball, examining it for more info.
 Leefah turned her thumbs down, "Not money..."
 "Yeah... Not money..."
 "But... Why would I get symbols like love and death?..."
 "Well the symbols mean either an act of love or you will fall in love..."
 "Aww... that's so cute! Who's my new love?!"
 "Couldn't see for sure... Although I never get that fucking love symbol... Always something stupid like over angering at something..."
 "Whatever.. But it also means an act of death or you'll suffer death..."
 "No No! That can't be possible..."
 "Atlas has to protect me.."
 "GIRLS! BREAKFAST IS DONE! COME AND GET IT YOU FAT LARDS!"
 "There are some things in the world you can't be protected from...."
 "Like what?...."

Just above and outside the basement...
 "Oh you poor wilting rose...."
 "Me and Joker of course...."
Tophet walked to the cliff behind Leefah's house.
 "Ugh.... This town is disgusting... All these poor children are living in a dream..."
"Although... Joker can wake them up...."
