My Stays Under the Sea, livre ebook

Octavia, influenced by her classmate Aline, was asked to sign a pact in an alien world where she crossed paths with Oga, the queen mother of the other world. With this pact, Octavia, on her way, was able to bewitch innocent people and commit mischief to excess: causing traffic accidents; bewitching men with gluttonous carnal appetites, etc., to the point of mixing her own blood with those of her siblings, such as impoverishing her father, paralyzing her mother, driving her sister mad, harming her sister-in-law for petty quarrels and disputes, trifles for good reason. If the snake were a carnivore, we'd justify this nasty behavior of attacking men. But it's not, so it's simply for the pleasure of doing harm that it bites people. Comparing the clumsiness of Octavia's victims and her reaction to each of them, it's clear that this girl really did have a rock for a heart; a heart thirsting for vengeance; a thirst ready to devour everything. Her friend Aline, even though she was the eldest, couldn't describe the wickedness that animated the novice.
