Within the red, brick walls of the bakery, the setting sun shone in through the large windows which faced the street. The dying rays of light cast its orange glow on the tables and the glass which showed the displays of various sweet treats. Cakes, cookies, donuts and tarts, all freshly baked the morning prior, sat idly behind said glass, filling the cozy bakery on the corner of Wilson Boulevard and 3rd Street with a palatable smell. It was here, the bakery just down the road from a very peculiar candle shop (to which she used the term 'down the road' lightly) the cheery girl by the name of Evelyn Leigh bustled around behind the counter. The flames which lit the two candles protruding from her head flickered merrily with a healthy bluish-green glow. With the ever present smile upon her lips, albeit a bit perturbing, Evelyn hummed a tune while restocking the chocolate chip cookies on the bottom shelf. The bakery was cast into a stillness aside from her; no seats were filled, and it seemed the few employees who dared work in proximity with such a 'monstrosity' had left for the day. Ah yes, Evelyn worked the last shift of the day where few costumers bothered to purchase sweets from the old shop. Perhaps it was because they already knew of her work hours? She had been working at this bakery for quite some time. Yet, she still smiled! No, she wouldn't let the mood sink whether she was purposely being avoided by coincidence or otherwise. It wasn't like she cared for humans in the first place. In fact, it was quite the opposite: she was appauled by them. Disgusted, repulsed, revolted, and utterly nauseated! But she wouldn't complain. 'Why do you bother to restock these stupid cookies, Evie? It's not like anyone's coming! You know that.' Sounded Ralphie's voice within her mind. Blinking her vacant eyes, Evelyn tilted her head to the side before looking out of the windows of the bakery. Outside on the streets, there wasn't a single soul out for a walk, and maybe a few cars had passed by in the last hour. "What a silly thing to say Ralphie! You never know, and besides, those cookies were low on count." She replied optimistically. It was indeed a terrible habit of responding to the sentient eye on her stomach outloud as it made her look a bit crazy. But why respond to him back telepathically? That would make her feel as if she didn't get her point across good enough, "Surely, someone might come today- and what if they wanted a chocolate chip cookie? I wouldn't give them a small, crumbly one. " She continued on, knowing that Ralphie was most likely rolling his eye at the moment. She could practically feel him doing the mentioned action. 'Yeah yeah, whatever you say Evie.' Ralphie muttered. Evelyn's grin became bigger if it was even possible as she knew she'd won that argument. Brushing her hands off on her white, 'uniform issued' apron, the lonesome candle demon hopped up onto the counter, crossing one leg over the other. Pulling out her phone from her handy skirt pocket, she immediately checked her inbox. Nothing, as per usual. Even though she knew no one would have contacted her, she liked to imagine it would happen soon. After her personal ritual of checking for any possible messages, Evelyn Leigh began to read the online novel she started the other day, completely absorbing herself into the small text. However, her ears were always tuned into the small bell above the entrance, hoping she might receive one costumer before she closed shop in a half hour-- before the real fun began.

Echo walked into the Bakery she had heard of from someone's thoughts. (Mind reader) The little seven year old looked around, taking in all of the yummy looking baked good as her eyes changed colour and her wings fluttered behind her.

Evelyn quickly looked up from her phone at the sound of the bell's chime. Slipping off of the counter, the fifteen year old turned around to see a small girl with a set of peculiar wings. A customer! Now she could prove Ralphie wrong. With a bright grin, she began to speak, "Hello and welcome to the Cornerstone Bakery!" She paused, leaning on the counter, "Are you perhaps interested in anything?" Evelyn's seen this girl before- she must be a member of the cult, right?

Echo looked up at the voice, and, smiling, she ran to the counter. "Do you have cupcakes? With lots of blue icing?" She asked, smiling again and showing off her missing tooth. "I like your candles, are you in the Cult?" Echo rambled, hoping to make a new friend.

It was evening, the perfect time for a nocturnal hybrid to wander. Enfer and his four eyed raven Aku were wandering, not knowing exactly what they were going to do, but it's not like it mattered.
Why don't we go on a hunt? I wouldn't mind getting a few kills tonight.
"Shut up...wait a minute, why are you talking anyways? You're usually the quietest out of us all," Enfer said out loud. Having to deal with multiple personalities on a daliy basis was terrible, especially if one was a psychotic-cannibalistic-murderer who tried to convince you to kill every so often.
Now now, don't be so cranky...I just wanted to talk to you since it's such a lovely night.
Enfer rolled his eyes as he put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, trying to ignore the voice in his head. As he walked through the streets he noticed the light of what looked like a bakery and looked to Aku on his shoulder who had a look in his eyes that said to enter and he did just that. He wanted to do anything to ignore this stupid voice in his head.
Hey! That was rude y'know!
"I said shut up you annoying creature!" Enfer shouted in annoyance as he entered the shop, getting glances from the people that were already inside. "Hehe, sorry about that..." he said, laughing awkwardly.

Evelyn nodded, sliding down the opposite end where the frosted treats were, "I believe I do!" She trilled, reaching down before plucking out a chocolate cupcake with a vivid cyan frosting. She set it out on the counter with a napkin, blinking for a moment, "These things? Why thank you! And I suppose you could say that I am part of the cult." The candle demon added with a wink. 'Okay Evie, I can feel that pride practically radiating off of you. I get it, I was wrong.' Sounded Ralphie's voice within her head, her smile growing. Evelyn then looked to the side and towards the door. Another customer? This was unreal luck she was experiencing! Waving, she carelessly jumped the counter and to the other side, waving at the new arrival, "It's no problem! Welcome to the Cornerstone Bakery as well!" She chimed, eying the raven. Of course, no one could really tell if she was looking at the creature as she possessed no pupils.

Evelyn Leigh couldn't help herself but to look back at the small child, tapping her index fingers together sheepishly, "Well I'm very happy you enjoy it. I suppose I could give it to you for free. It's not a very sound business practice, but oh well!" She mused, "So, what're your names?" She inquired, the question directed at both of the entities.

Congrats on Embarrassing yourself!
"That was your fault Dante! If you would stop intimidating me half of the time," Enfer shouted in annoyance then turned to the girl who was looking at Aku. Well, at least he thought she was looking at him. "ahem, I'm really sorry about my outbursts...do you serve any cookies here? I need something to keep someone quiet for awhile."
Aww, don't be like that~You know you love my company.
Groaned and hit his head against the nearest wall once before walking over to Echo who was happily eating a cupcake. "It appears you're enjoying that," Enfer said with a laugh when he saw the icing that covered her face.
Hey Echo! Come on Enfer, introduce me!
"I have told you multiple times to Shut Up Dante! Ugh..." Enfer groaned as he grabbed the nearest seat and sat down, rubbing his temples.

Echo smiled through the icing as she finished her cupcake. "Thanks! I'm Echo! That's my big brother." Echo looked behind her.

She only cocked her head to the side, smiling all the more, "No need to apologize, it's all good." Evelyn paused before hopping behind the counter again, "I do in fact! There's chocolate chip, ginger bread, vanilla..." She trailed off, setting a view different types on the counter. Evelyn could relate with him- Ralphie was constantly bothering her in such a way, it frustrated her! 'Wow Evie, way to be a team player!' Ralphie grunted, and she poked her belly where the sentient eye was to silence him. Walking around the counter instead of blatently jumping over it, she set the cookies in front of him, reluctantly patting his shoulder out of reassurance. "Here you are- feel free to help yourself!" She added before taking a few steps away, brushing off the crumbs on her apron. Turning to the girl, she continued to smile- it was practically omnipresent, "Echo? What a lovely name. I'm Evelyn. Evelyn Leigh!" She exclaimed, lifting up her sweater to reveal a rather annoyed looking eye, "This here is Ralphie. Can't exactly hear him, but he's just a sour guy. He means well!" She added before putting her shirt back down. Looking over to the supposed brother, she blinked, "Well it's great to meet the both of you."

"Thank you," Enfer said, taking a chocolate chip cookie a breaking it in half, stuffing it in Aku's mouth and letting out a relieved sigh when Dante's voice was muffled. "Oh thank god, he finally shut up."
"Anyways, I'm not completely Echo's brother, just a protective friend who likes to treat her like a younger sister," Enfer said, putting a hand on her head and smiling down at her. "my name happens to be Enfer if you were wondering, this bird is Aku, he's the host for Dante...my obnoxious other self.

Echo giggled, playing in Enfer's cloak. "Nope! He's my brother!"

She held a hand up to her lips to muffle her giggle. She found their interactions to be very adorable. On the other hand, however... 'Ugh, this is so digusting, I mean look at them. I eat people like that for breakfast.' Ralphie grumbled. Her smile became strained as she responded, "Now Ralphie, we've been over this. Don't be rude!" Evelyn replied to him, her voice perhaps cracking slightly out of her own frustration. The smile was still holding up. The flames on her candles flared up for a split second before dying back down to their original glow, "Anyways, it's great to finally start speaking to other members of the cult like this. It gets incredibly lonely-" Ralphie scoffed, "without more interaction!"

"You have another voice in your head as well?" Enfer asked as Aku finished the rest of the cookie and Dante continued his one-sided conversation.
That wasn't very nice Enfer!"
"Good! It's good to have a moment of quiet with your annoying ass!" Enfer's flame flared before dimming once again when he relaxed. "Ugh...I guess it's time I introduced Dante, he's the bane of my existence at the moment," Enfer explained, starting to rub his temples again.
It's absolutely wonderful to meet you!
Enfer looked to Aku on his shoulder who Dante was speaking through when he heard the distorted, happy, tone that could only belong to his other self. "Everyone...this is Dante."
