What happened? An anxious pose of the kitten Jessica. She is a statue and shows no reaction. Who will rescue them and how did that happen? No one will know this time hihi ~
Luca sighed. Then he watched at the statues and sighed again. Then looked at the TV and sighed yet another time. After all he just wanted to watch some Star Trek. First Jessica was telling
her nonsense about his favorite TV show, so he just turned her to stone to be left in peace for a minute. Then came Ping - who recently moved in to live with them - and tried to free Jessica,
so he HAD to take her out too. And then... Well, Yuna was actually the only one who was interested in Star Trek and didn't care about Jessica being a statue for the whole time it needed to
watch a couple of episodes, but well... He did two, he could very well do three... He wasn't the kind of guy to left a job in half. Or two thirds, for that matter. So he just had to move the
statues in a nice setup before watching the TV. And at the end of this... He sighed. The episodes were already over, and some damn love romance was just beginning
Jessica was one day wandering through the streets of a city. It was a pleasant day and she loved the atmosphere, there was a funfair and the streets were filled with people to play nasty
pranks on. There were also so many stands selling many different and interesting things. Her eyes somehow fell on a jeweler's stand. The precious stones were shining, there were golden rings,
silver necklaces, pearls, and everything that would make a woman go mad. She looked at everything in awe, but her eyes stopped particularly on a necklace with a red jade as a pendant. She
took it in her hands, turned it around a couple of times and she fell in love with it. The man in the stand invited her to try it on, and if she liked it, he could make a special price just
for her. She donned it, and went to a mirror to look at herself. She was pleased of it and started trying various poses to see how the sunlight shone on the pendant. Yes, she was convinced,
so she tried to go back to the seller to tell him she'd buy it. But she found out she couldn't move. She looked at the mirror in horror as her body started to turn into red jade, and couldn't
say anything before the transformation into the precious material spread to her face as well, leaving her as a helpless, terrified jade statue. She could just look at herself in the mirror
now, until the seller came and lifted her, taking the necklace back. She wanted to protest and to get free but was unable to, her captor just took her in the back of the stand, and laid poor
Jessica on a wall, hidden from everyone, so that nobody could ever find her. Jessica kept screaming internally. How long would she be like this? How long until her powers awoke and turned her
back? She didn't know and, scared, she looked at the day pass by from her helpless prison.
Our favorite demoness is always active and likes to travel around by nature. Sometimes she wanders for so much that she manages to get lost, but she knows it's worth it, because she always
happens to find something interesting. Forbidden knowledge, unimaginable riches, decorations for her home, or new experiences. Sometimes she finds all of the above though. She was once
wandering around a strange forest, it was dark and she was getting a bit tired. She came across a cave entrance, there were fire torches lighting the environment inside, so she thought that
it could be a great place to spend some time resting. She entered the cave and passed through some narrow and some wider passages, until she got to a well lit chamber. She looked around, the
chamber was endless, and filled with heaps of golden coins. She couldn' believe her eyes. She quickly forgot about her tiredness and ventured in the chamber, floating around for what she
thought were minutes, never finding an end to that vault. Suddenly she came across the only object that was different from all the others. She was - unknowingly to her - right in the middle
of the big treasury, and a golden female statue was standing there. It was creepy, its face was deformed in fear and its pose suggested that she was running away from something terrible.
Jessica immediately loved it, and she knew that, of all the things she could find in that place, she had to have the statue. She looked around, to see if there could be traps, she tried to
sense the presence of magic. Nothing. Good, the way was clear. She started touching the statue's body, probing its manifacture, its curves. She really liked it, and was already thinking how
she could move it from there. She could have called Luca for the heavy lifting maybe? Yes, she would definitely do so. But later, now she wanted to enjoy the addictive touch of the golden
object. Suddenly she heard a low voice, it was first a moan in her head, then it became louder and she could make up words "Finally... Someone... Came..." Jessica looked around but could see
nobody. "Who is it? Hello?" She called. "Five hundred years... I tried... To protect my treasure but..." Jessica understood that the voice was coming from the statue. She didn't say anything,
the voice kept talking "The spell... Failed... No... Victim..." Jessica touched the statue again, and a bright light blinded her. She fell to the ground and when the light passed, the statue
was no more a statue but a woman. She immediately looked at Jessica and laughed "Yes! You freed me! Now I can finally enjoy my treasure and it's your turn to guard it! You just absorbed 500
years of potential energy from me, have fun watching as the time passes in front of your helpless eyes!" Jessica tried to crawl and stand up, but it was too late. She tried extending her arm
towards the woman, trying in vain to send back the energy she absorbed. Her body became heavy. She gasped and in no time she was transformed in a golden, scared statue, destined to give out
her magic energy for at least 500 years, in order to protect the chamber. The woman laughed satisfied. "I was imprisoned because when I cast the spell I didn't know I needed a victim. Luckily
I could switch places with you. Thank you, my new guardian statue!" With this, she poofed, probably to get updated on what happened in the last 500 years. Jessica was left alone in the middle
of an enormous chamber full of gold, scared.
The quiet of hell was disturbed by a loud cry. Luca was not present but with a thunderous entrance he swarmed home to find Jessica in tears near a literal mountain of clothes. Luca stood
still for a couple of seconds, unsure of what to say. He didn't have to say anything, because Jessica spoke first "I have so many clothes! I will never be able to know which ones still fit me
and which ones not!" Luca shook his head "Love, you're a demon, you don't age nor get fat... Of course these clothes all fit you..." "Silence! You will help me trying these out!" "And how, by
grace?" The answer was quick to come: Luca suddenly felt a weight on his chest and looked down at his body "Are you kidding me? After all we did to return me to a male?" He quickly became the
exact copy of Jessica, and was still protesting when Jessica was suddenly bored of all his nonsense "Shush, I'll be quick!" and as she shushed him silent, he quickly started turning, his face
still angrily looking at Jessica. It was then that she decided that her new dress form should have no face, arms or legs and with a bit of magic Luca was finally a shiny plastic Jessica
torso. She spent all day and night trying dresses until, when the pile was almost exhausted, she fell asleep cuddled to an angry dress form, who could just forgive her because it felt the
warmth of her body so close to it. "Meow... We will.... Yawn... Continue tomorrow love, thank you, you're the best!"
Luca (at the time still a lava pet) has always been obsessed with it, and constantly kept looking for a new TV stand. His expectations weren't that high. He just wanted a nice gold tv stand
with boobs, so he could have something to watch during commercials. Oh, and of course, he didn't want Jessica to be the stand again, he wanted to enjoy TV with her. One day, the perfect
occasion presented itself on a golden platter. Quite literally. The witch Lucy was peacefully visiting Hell, and having tea time with Jessica. The two were starting to get along at last. But
Luca didn't know this, and as soon as he came home, seeing what he deemed to be an intruder, he glared intently at the witch, and thought this would be the perfect occasion to get what he
always wanted. Without much ado, he channeled his power in a powerful green thunder which stroke poor Lucy and turned her into solid gold in an instant. With his magic, Luca remodeled the now
golden statue, making it assume a nice pose to hold the TV, and placed it on one side of the television. At last he was content. But Jessica was not of the same idea. As he turned to her to
brag about what he had done... "LOVE!" roared Jessica, furiously floating towards him "I wasn't finished with her! I had to transform her into a marble statue after the tea!!! You..." Luca
instantly knew what was coming if he wasn't faster. His power was unlimited but for some strange reason, such as the love towards a person is, he was utterly powerless against Jessica. "Love
you'll now be my..." she couldn't finish the phrase that Luca snapped his fingers, panicking a bit at the sight of his angry wife - what man does not fear an angry wife - and Jessica was
turned to a golden statue too. "Well..." said Luca "... I wasn't planning this for you... But I guess that until you cool down I'll have two TV stands. So this set up looks even." and with
his magic he moved poor Jessica in position, the other side of the tv, specular to Lucy. He then proceeded to sit on the couch and admire, satisfied, to what he made. With the TV's built-in
browser he started looking at some nice designs for statues of his favorite DeviantArt artist. He quietly explained the two TV stands that he would make it up to Jessica by gifting her a new
nice statue, this gave Jessica time and reason to cool off. Eventually. Luca this time was lucky, and could evade Jessica's wrath. For how much will his luck last, though? We'll see!
"WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" Per se, an angry wife is something terrible. In this case, the wife is also a demoness, so try to imagine the most terrible thing you can,
and increase it tenfold. Now forget this image you got as a result, because it will never even BEGIN to describe this kind of terrible. Jessica was hissing, her fur was straight, her sharp
claws were showing, and her fangs completed the picture of her, making her look like a vampire who spent 40 days in the desert without ever seeing a human being to feed on. Luca, though,
didn't seem concerned in the least and just yawned: "Love calm down, you're overreacting." "MY! THRONE!" she yelled. "What's the big deal? I don't understand!" "You put me in that carbonnayse
or whatever..." "Carbonite love" "WHATEVER! You make me see an entire episode of Star Trek..." "It was Star Wars, A New Hope" "THE SAME!" She stopped a second, as if the words were escaping
her brain too fast for her mouth to tell them all. "Well, all of this can pass, but YOU DON'T SIT ON MY THRONE, EVER!" As one may know, cats choose places, not owners. This is particularly
true for Jessica, her feline nature makes her so attached to certain objects that she can't stand other people using them. "Come on I just sat on it, it's not like I dirtied it or..." "SHUT
UP!" she yelled, and with her powerful magic she engulfed Luca in a ball of energy, lifting him up in the air and finally landing him on a stone plinth. He didn't have time to react, she
turned him to stone in the exact second he touched the base of the plinth. He was still trying to say something, but Jessica would surely not care at this time. She just stopped looking at
her new statue, satisfied to have avenged her rightful place on her throne. Jessica could easily forgive anything to him, but this, nooo this was too much. She would have taken days to
forgive this. Days, that Luca would have spent as a stone statue, sometimes teased by Jessica, but most of them left alone while she was out with friends, or shopping, or wreaking havoc
somewhere else.
Jessica decided to renovate Hell a bit. With winter coming, she thought that a fireplace could be a nice addition to the place. Since nobody was there to point out that she lives in Hell, and
has no need to own a fireplace, she just went along and got one from her favorite magical store. She thought very carefully where to place it, and finally found a nice spot after cleaning up
some unused stuff. After admiring, satisfied, what she had done, she decided to call over her friend Ping to brag about her new compulsive purchase. Ping was surprised, her logic circuits
were acting crazy and tried to object "What are you going to do with a fireplace? You live in hell" but she didn't because her motherboard suddenly cut out any connection to the logical
board. She just went along with it and complimented Jessica. Jessica happily smiled and sat on top of the fireplace, enojoying the warmth coming from it. But something was off. She noticed
her foot caught on fire, and that her skin was slowly solidifying "What is happening to me? Ping do something!" she yelled as she was turning into a wax candle. Ping jumped on the fireplace
and tried to push Jessica off it with her feet, so she wouldn't touch her friend's body with bare hands. But the magical fireplace got the best of both of them, and Ping slowly started
solidifying into a wax statue too. Jessica wanted to scream, but her face just became a horrified wax mask, and could just beg for help in her head as her whole body was now a big red candle,
with her foot, tails and head burning bright. In a matter of seconds, Ping was completely turned to a purple candle, admitting to herself that jumping on the fireplace was nost the best idea.
Maybe she should have her logical circuits checked. If she ever turned back. An unusual brightness now shines in Jessica's hell. On closer inspection, people who pass by (not that there would
be any) would just see two candle-statues, burning bright, but never being consumed.
"So yet another human has found my lair. Speak, mortal, what do you seek?" The girl couldn't speak, she ventured alone in that desolate place and took off her dress just before entering the
sacred ground, like the legends said. She wanted her wish to be granted by the powerful creature who lived in the abandoned temple.
The lamia's eyes started glowing green. "I can read your mind. You will be tested. If your heart is in the right place, then your wish will be granted. Otherwise..."
The girl felt her limbs heavier, she wanted to run away but her feet were not responding. Her whole body was paralyzed in fear. But it was not fear, what blocked her.
Her body was slowly turning to stone. She looked at her hands, scared, to see that they were She started to scream "What... what are you doing to me? I am pure! I just..."
She couldn't finish her phrase. The transformation was completed. The lamia looked at her prey and laughed an evil and satisfied laugh. "In all of these years, I've never seen anyone worthy.
I pity you, and all of those who came before you."
The girl screamed internally. What was happening to her? What was going to happen? Why was she still able to see and hear everything? She wanted to be lost, rather than live forever watching
the world pass in front of her. Was that the test? Or did she just fail it and was doomed for eternity?
