Snakes In My Hair? It's More Likely Than You Think.

A long tense silence follows.

Until Juno finally reacts with, "An oracle? What kind of sick joke is this!?"

"I'm not joking. I really am… that."

"S-sso you just expect me to believe that you have visions an-and know everything about me!?"

A sly smile comes on Eve's face, it's unnerving, "So you want proof? I'll gladly provide some."

She doesn't like the sound of that at all, "Huh?"

Juno unfortunately didn't have a chance to brace herself for what would happen next.

With a blank expression and a monotone voice, Eve begins, "You didn't stop crying yourself to sleep until you were 10. It was usually caused by your fear of the darkness or when your family was away. One time when you were 8 you fell into a pond and almost drowned, luckily your sister saved you. You've gotten lost at the supermarket 5 times, almost had a meltdown once. You haven't had your first kiss yet and when you were close to, you ended up sneezing on her instead. Your first track and field competition went terrible, you got so sick from nerves you couldn't compete and threw up on your coach. You cried when your childhood friend, Lucia, moved away. You cried when, Mila moved away, she left when you were sleeping so you never got to say goodbye. You are still angry at your Mother because of that, because she drove Mila away from home. You were upset when your mother forced you to enroll Aspar Hill, so much that you said you would never smile ever again."

Meanwhile, Juno's face drastically changes colors. From pale with fright to red from embarrassment. She's frozen as some of her biggest shames are exposed like it's nothing. As if she's nothing but a joke.

"Your life has been mostly uneventful but I've always had visions of your most stressful moments. Believe me now? Or want more proof?"

Only after hearing that does she say, "Stop! Stop! Get away from me!"

"Get up from the floor."

She doesn't move.

"Don't fall into despair just yet, didn't I say I was going to help you?" 

Juno doesn't get up but she does look at her after hearing that.

Eve crouches down and hands something to Juno.

It's a hair tie.

"A hair tie?"

//How is this supposed to help me in any way?!//

"Yes, it's a hair tie but it's not ordinary at all. If you wear it, your snakes will be hidden from mortals' view. This can help you greatly until you get your new powers under control."

Juno still looks at it doubtfully.

"Would you just try it? Unless you want everyone to see your snakes, find out that Medusa's Blessing has returned, become a source of controversy and an easier target."

Juno snatches it from her hands.

"Are you really ssure this will work?"

"Why are you still hesitating?"

"I still don't-"

"Trust me? Whether you believe me or not, we both know you don't have much of a choice."

She glares at her but it doesn't seem to have an effect on Eve. But truly, how intimidating could Juno look in the state she's in?
