" they've done nothing but wickedness just to make my life miserable, and I guess they're all jealous of me, and I'm going to show them what....".
Before Naya could finish venting out her frustration about the whole situation, Elora switched, taking control of her body.
" Hey!", Naya yelled, " that's rude!".
Elora bit her lips hard, hot tears gathered in her eyes but her lips kept moving from clenching jaw to ridiculous laughter.
" There's really a goddess in me," she chuckled at the unbelievable situation, " guess heaven can at least do this."
A tear streamed down her eyes, and her nose became watery.
" So moon goddess, what can you do? What power do you have? Can I control your power now that you're in me?", she asked the tangible questions for her purpose.
Naya groaned, "What kind of dense vessel are you? They took my powers; they took everything."
Her response pissed Elora off; she grunted, "You really are rude", she mumbled to herself, trying to get hold of herself before bursting out.
" Do you just call me rude? What an insolence!" Naya nearly yelled, but she swallowed up, " I don't want to quarrel with you; I'm on a mission. I need to find the mortal who cursed me, and you're going to help me with that as my vessel".
Now pissed beyond words, Elora spoke venomously, "You've got some nerve, arrogant and senseless, who do you think you are to boss me around",
Naya scoffed," Boss you around? Child, if I had even a fraction of my power, you'd be on your knees, begging for the privilege of serving me, while my essence was being wrenched from my divine throne and stuffed into this lump of flesh you should be honored and obeying me".
" Honor? Obey? You? Don't make me laugh, you're not my goddess, you're my prisoner,"
" What?!" surprised to be called that, Naya felt upset, but Elora wasn't done.
" And don't worry, I already have the privilege to show you just how powerless you are, make your existence a torment you'd wish you could escape ",
" You're not what I expect of a vessel, If this bond is ever severed, you'll wish you'd shown me the respect I deserve",
" Respect my foot, what makes you think I'm planning to keep you alive",
" Huh? What are you talking about?",
" Are you dumb? What do I expect from a mere goddess",
" Hey!",
" Shut up!" Elora yelled back louder, her chest rising and falling with her breath quivering and her eyes glaring at the mirror with evil, " I'll do anything, everything, to make sure you are on your knees begging for death and begging for life at the same time."
Surprised at the kind of hostility the vessel had towards her, enraged by her rudeness and audacity, she couldn't rule out the possibility that the mortal who cursed her could be this vessel, and so she tried to suppress her anger.
" Why are you so hostile? Why have you not had any respect, compassion, or empathy...",
" Empathy? Compassion?" Elora asked, yelling with hot tears gushing out of her eyes, "How dare you lecture me about compassion when you don't have any?" her rage and pain bursting out, "How dare you talk about empathy when all you've done is opposite! ",
Naya couldn't take the disrespect any longer but Elora cut her short before she could speak.
Trembling as she speaks, the pain laced in her voice, but the rage was nothing like Naya had ever seen, " She cried, she pleaded, she prayed, she begged, but what did you do? You made her life miserable, you made sure you ruined her till her last breath. Now watch how I ruin you; you're nothing but a powerless soul who could only speak in my head".
Elora smirked, pointing at her head, "Now watch how I make the goddess a nothing but noise, and trust me, once I'm done, you'd have no throne to return to".

Ember bit her red painted nails, pacing the room in her flare short skirt and green blouse while Docherty sat on the sofa in his suit, but with his tie loosened. They had both arrived at the house three minutes ago but were both too nervous to go check up on Elora.
Battling with their chaotic and frantic thoughts, agitated by the uncertainty of what they had done and what might come next.
" Are you sure about this?", Ember asked hating their silence more than anything,
" We need to wait", Docherty replied clasping his hands together with his head bowed,
" You know what could happen if she knows and I'm telling you, she was there that night, I saw her",
" It was dark Ember, we can't be sure",
" Then who was it if not her, if she wakes up and tells everyone it's done for us",
" Calm down Ember, she's my daughter...",
" And we killed her mother, which she happens to witness. Is there any explanation you could give her? Or are you going to tell her that you fell in love with your wife's best friend and...",
" This is all your fault, I told you to stay put, you shouldn't have come that night", he raised his head losing his cool,
" Oh, now you're blaming me? If you had picked up your damn call then all that wouldn't have happened",
" Does that justify why you started blabbing everything to her?",
" I didn't blab anything, I simply told her that we're together, and what makes you think she doesn't even know",
" She doesn't, not until you told her and still pick a fight",
" She started it; I hate it so much when she pretends, she knew about us but pretended because of the evil she was planning, and we were just faster than her by taking her out, so don't blame me."
Docherty brushed his hair with his fingers exhaling deeply, " let's just wait till she wakes up and find out",
" And what if she knew, what are we going to do then?",
" Kill her ".
Ember's brow rose, taken aback by the response, but she quickly collected herself.
" Let's go check on her", she said, walking out of the room, and he followed her.
They arrived at Elora's room and with hesitation, they strode in only to find her sitting on her bed with her puffy eyes. Ember's heart skipped and started beating so fast on seeing her stare back at her, and they both noticed the change in her eye color.
" You're awake," Ember said nervously, " and your eyes."
Elora looked from her to her father, " Dad, what happened? Where's mum?".
" Huh?", they both looked at each other and went to sit by her sides.
" Are you okay? How are you feeling baby", Docherty asked feeling her temperature,
" I'm feeling okay but weak",
" Sorry dear, you were out for three days",
" Me? Why?",
" Wh.what do you mean by why? You don't remember what happened?",
" No, the last thing I remembered was getting out of Jordan's car; where's mummy?" she asked wearily.
Ember and Docherty looked at each other before turning back at her.
" Your mother is on a trip, she won't be back for some time, but let me go get the pack's doctor to come and examine you",
" Is she going to miss my wedding? Mum?",
" Of course not; I'll make sure she arrives before that day or that day, so relax yourself. Let me get the doctor "" He stood up and left.
" What happened to your eyes Elora?",
" I don't know; I woke up to see it like this," she said weakly. As they fell into silence, Elora clenched her jaw, trying not to strangle Ember right on the spot.
