What Are You?

Hearing that Juno opens the door and pulls her inside. She grabs her shoulders tightly, shakes her and yells, "You did this to me! Why would you do this?!!"

Eve is unbothered by her outburst and calmly says, "No. I did not give you Medusa's Blessing. That's not something I can do."

She keeps shaking her like a ragdoll, "You're lying!!!"

<She's not lying. Get a hold of yourself!>

She ignores the snake and keeps asking, "Why! Why!? Why!? Why did you curse me!?"

"I haven't cursed you. This is something else entirely!"

"Why should I believe you? How could you possibly know about my-my problem if you weren't the one who caused it!"

<We should hear her out.>

Juno finally let's go of Eve and turns her attention to the snake. "And tell me why should I listen to you?!"

<I understand that you're upset and going through a lot but you have to listen to us. Ultimately, we just want to help you. And this girl here, I feel that she has something important to say.>

"I-I don't believe you. How could I? You haven't helped me at all! All you've done is hurt me! I've never experienced that kind of pain before! I-I thought I was going to die-" she breaks off, holding back a sob.

<There are no words to properly express how sorry I am. Juno this wasn't supposed to happen. Not like this. I don't know why.>

"What do you mean?!"

<This process shouldn't be so painful. We've been doing this for ages! But it has been a long time since we've reawakened. That could be the reasoning but our Lady wouldn't do something like that. If she was the one who stopped us from being reborn and brought us back, she would not have made it painful. Something or someone else forced us here.>

"Forced you?"

<Or sabotaged. Manipulated us. It seems as if you're being targeted.>

"I'm being targeted..." she repeats numbly.

//Not my family as a whole but just me? What if...//

She glances at Eve who's been silent this whole time.

She rolls her eyes, "Don't you dare think about grabbing and shaking me again. I already said it wasn't me."

"I don't believe you at all! You knew about all of this and you said you had a confession?! You're the most suspicious right now!"

"I do have a confession but it doesn't have to do with "targeting" you. I don't plan on hurting you at all. It's the opposite."

"Huh?!!"

"I only plan on helping you. Because I don't have a choice. I'm fated to help you."

"What does that even mean!?"

Eve sighs deeply and meets her eyes, "It means exactly that."

Eve's eyes are beyond tired, the bags under her eyes more apparent than ever, but she also trembles slightly as if, nervous. "Juno, do you believe in fate? In prophecies?"

"I..."

"How strange would it be, if I told you that I knew this would happen. That I've known for a long time now. That I've known you before we officially met."

Juno finds her anger drained and all that's left is pain and confusion.

<This girl, I can see it now, she has strong ancient magic coursing through her blood. But I believe she's still mortal, I don't sense anything sinister.>

Juno glances at the snake but it doesn't elaborate further.

She can't take it anymore!

"What, what are you?"

Not who, but what?

"I am your roommate. I am your helper. I'm here with you. Notice a pattern? I am a strange girl who can only see the life of the girl in front of her."

<Visions. Prophecies. The ancient magic coursing through her. She has known you before you have met. Based on all of this I can come to the conclusion that this girl is a descent of->

"I am Eve. I am mortal. But I am also known as an Oracle."
