Dreamlike Past

"My queen, the casualties are escalating at a rapid pace. Over half of the citizens have been killed. We can't control the panicked citizens. I'm afraid we'll be massacred before we can even fight back." A female oni donned in a simple, but graceful white kimono with blue embroidery kneeled down in front of the queen.

She had long blue hair bundled up in a ponytail that cascaded down her back. On her face was a droplet of cold sweat that couldn't help but gradually drip down her cheek.

"Go! I order you to leave! There's an incoming enemy not too far away from this room! Gather all the people you can and escape! I'll hold them off!" The queen's face showed determination.

"But... my queen... I—"

"Did you not hear my orders?" she interrupted.

"Yes, my queen!" A tear emerged from her eye as she sprinted away. Tears began spilling out, falling onto the ground below her.

'I'm sorry... my queen! You've done so much for me, but I can't even help you in our time of need!"

Queen Sunako was somewhat of a yandere. She was cold to the majority, giving strict orders but kind to others, specifically women, whom she had saved and raised like a mother. They were like children to her, so naturally her response to a crisis such as this was to protect them as a mother.

This side of hers was hidden from others as she was afraid that it would be used by her enemies against her.

"You've finally arrived… Intruder!" Sunako stood up from her throne, looking down at the woman who had emerged from a nearby corridor.

She flickered, emerging before Aurora. Their eyes met, and everything turned calm. Aurora hadn't moved and just stood there as if she was a manikin.

"I suppose you weren't such a worthy opponent after all."

"Now that you're imprisoned, I'll gradually break your mind from within and make you mine!" Sunako seductively grinned. 'I'll absorb your life-force and you'll become apart from me."

A pink aura radiated out from Sunako as her appearance shifted. A black tail with a reversed heart protruded out from her tail-bone, along with black Succubus wings and large horns that protruded from both sides of her head.

Her clothes turned erotic, which exposed her breasts and crotch area, with her figure growing more flawless. She was considered a half-sex demon, one-step away from becoming a true-sex demon.

"Now, go to my room and lie down on the bed and wait for me to begin! I'll be there shortly, my slave!" She commanded, her eyes starting to glow pink.

Aurora's dead eyes resonated with Sunako's and she started to walk off out of the throne room and into Sunako's room, where she lied down on the bed as she had been ordered.

Sunako followed after her and crawled onto the bed, where she propped herself up above Aurora and leaned in closer.

"Once I'm finished! You'll join them." She pressed her lips against Aurora's and separated seconds later—"in my harem of beautiful women."

Extending her arms towards Aurora's crotch, she began her sexual ritual, and pressed her lips against the latter's.

"Mnn!"

*****

Aurora suddenly opened her eyes...

She found herself lying on a bed, one that was fairly comfortable. Looking up, she saw a popcorn ceiling above with a silver ceiling fan that spun around rapidly, cooling off the room. Turning around, there was a nightstand next to her bed with a lamp sitting on top of it.

She looked around further and saw a wooden desk at the corner of the room, which had a gaming chair placed at it. On the desk was a PC tower, which hugged the wall on the right side of the desk, and a monitor centered on the desk. There was a mouse and a keyboard placed neatly in front of the monitor.

The scene felt quite familiar. Aurora could not help showing some doubt on her face as her mind felt hazy, making it impossible for her to think straight.

She had a feeling that something was amiss, as though she had forgotten something crucial. She made a stronger effort to remember, but this only made her head hurt.

She was unable to recall her previous actions.

Shaking her head, Aurora got up from the bed before opening the door and walking out. Standing outside of the room, she took a look around.

Memories started to flood back into her like a tide, and she immediately recalled that she was currently a 10-year-old girl who lived with her parents in Rochester, New York. Today was a Saturday in the midst of summer. It was early in the morning, with the birds peacefully chirping.

Today, they were planning to go visit a water park with a few family friends—this made her excited as she hadn't gone to such places in months. Controlling her emotions, she walked along the hallway until she reached the stairs, which she descended quickly.

'Smells delicious.' A scent of breakfast wafted into her nose.

"Perfect timing! Breakfast is ready." Ava smiled at Aurora, placing her plate on the four-person circular wooden kitchen table.

Making her way to the kitchen table, Aurora sat down next to her father, who was reading a newspaper with his coffee placed on the table in front of him.

"Good morning, dad!"

"Good morning!" Alan lowered the newspaper, looking over at Aurora, smiling.

Ava went around the table and sat next to Alan, to the left of Aurora.

"Can we eat?" Aurora asked, eager to dig in.

"We need to say our prayers first!" Ava answered.

"Okay!"

Extending their hands, they said prayers and dug in.
