“LET IT GO, LET IT GO, I’M ONE WITH THE WIND AND SKYYYY,” Jafa screamed over Skype. Between her singing and Skype breaking up, the tune had all but been obliterated. I laughed along with Kitti, the other girl in the call. She was sharing her screen while editing a photo of the “Jorvik veterinary practice”. Lots of cute cats, dogs and rabbits were littered around the photo and she was in the process of adding a pig with a bandaged hoof. I was editing yesterday’s vlog and Jafa was in theory revising - but of course she wasn’t.
“Jafa, you have a maths test tomorrow,” Kitti told her sternly. Kitti is basically my second Mum - like she is to all members of Saturn Stars. She practically forces us to do our homework and to get to bed on time. We get along well as she’s a YouTuber IRL like me but unlike me she’s 21 so I heard Jafa groan down the other end of the microphone. I finished the vlog and edited up the thumbnail before uploading it. It was almost 6:30 so I’d be hard pressed to get it up on time. “Christellia, you need to feed Puzzle,” Jess called from her office. I sighed and bid goodbye to Jafa (who still wasn’t revising) and Kitti before wandering off into the black and white tiled kitchen to feed my cat. He mewed happily as the cat biscuits stumbled over themselves to fall into his bowl. Rubbing himself against my leg affectionately, he started to eat. I grabbed my phone and got a boomerang of him for my story, posting it with the cat emoji. Deciding that I’d spent long enough starring at my screen, I settled down on a hanging chair laden with pillows (the coolest thing in the world) and started reading Lord of the Shadows. I loved the Shadow Hunter books and was dangerously behind with them. Just as I was turning the page to chapter three, Jess called up the stairs, “Dinner is ready!”. Hopping off the chair, I raced down the stairs where Jess was serving cauliflower steaks with potato wedges. It might sound disgusting but it really isn’t - trust me. Jess grinned at me and we slipped into our normal relaxed conversation. I lay in bed, feet in the air, checking through my Instagram feed. I started to do a quick edit of my SSO character as a Shadow Hunter. I doodled a stele in her hand and marks trailing up her arms. I let my pen tie her hair up in a bun and add fly aways carefully. Adding the last touches of detail to her gear, I exported the photo and emailed it to myself to post on IG. I added the caption “Christelle Lightwood, your local demon slayer” before posting. Within 30 second I had received 10 likes. Emma replied to the post saying, “Do one of Emma Herondale!” she begged. I smiled, clear that she liked my previous photo. Using a similar base, I gave her her short spiky red hair with her red eyes - maybe I should have turned her into a demon. It only took about half an hour because I’d basically already done most of it for my own edit. I sent the photo to her over WhatsApp because the quality would be better. She thanked me and when I next look at her YouTube channel I saw that it had become her PP. As my head had started to pound, I lay it down on the pillow just to rest it but within 3 minutes I was fast asleep.
