THE SUCCUBUS

Chapter Ten

The land was filled with supernatural beings.

It was their world.

Where they dwelled with no fear of humans.

Where they could freely show off their true nature.

Amongst them were the extremely powerful beings, mediocre powerful beings and non powerful beings who were considered useless.

The incubus and succubus fell under the last category.

Apart from sleeping with sleeping women and men, they had no more use.

Annie was a succubus who wanted to be anything but that.

Every single day, she would watch with green eyes as the powerful beings flaunted their powers while she remained utterly useless.

She was so envious that she began to hate them.

She began hating herself and was willing to do just anything to be very powerful.

To be the most powerful, if possible.

She became so frustrated that she decided to go there.

THE DARK CASTLE.

The forbidden dark castle which was considered evil

The dark castle was said to be a powerful serpent according to legend.

He was so keen on taking everyone's power for himself and caused so many deaths and destruction.

That was why the most powerful beings came together to destroy him.

However, the serpent could not be completely destroyed.

He turned into a dark castle and since then, everyone was banned from going near it.

Annie didn't obey and went to the dark castle to make a wish.

Every wish came with a price, a condition, a sacrifice.

Not just any sacrifice, a deadly one.

Annie was willing to do anything to make her wish come true.

She didn't care about the price to be paid.

"so let me guess, she chose to be a human?" Stanley asked, cutting the tale of the elderly man short.

The man's piercing gaze landed on him which made him shudder in fear, almost retreating outside.

Ever since he was young, the only person capable of scaring him so much and making all his hair stand was none other than his father, the man seated opposite him.

"yes, she chose to be a human and came in form of Anita Coker" the elderly man replied.

"no wonder she's so mean and cruel and heck!, a succubus?, that explains why she's such a sex craze freak. But why do the people around her keep dying?"he asked, puzzled.

" the sacrifice she made, the heavy price to be paid. Once she turned eighteen, she'd start killing her loved ones in the most gruesome way ever with a week interval between each deaths without her even realizing she's the murderer "

"and she agreed to that without thinking it through?, what a selfish being she is"

Stanley flashed back in his head to when he used to sleep with her and couldn't help shuddering dramatically, feeling disgusted with himself

She almost killed him three days ago.

Thank God for the talisman his father had imprinted on his body when he was young or he'd have been the next dead victim.

"what do we do now?, how do we put a stop to all these, father?"

"by killing her" baba replied bluntly as his eyes bulged open in shock.

"what?!"

He hadn't anticipated such answer.

Kill Angel?.

"what else did you think we'd do?"

"but...., she's only eighteen" his voice dropped in hesitation.

"only eighteen?, only eighteen?, do you even realize how many souls she has killed?"

"but father, she wasn't aware of her actions?"

"will you shut that mouth, she doesn't what?, realize?, have you forgotten so quickly that she killed my first grandson, your first child. Oh, I see you've fallen for that devil but let me tell you something, whether she remembers or not, she's evil. She has always been evil both in her past and present life. She's doomed to be evil. She's selfish and cares only about her own interests. She'd always be evil no matter what so why do you even pity her. If you must know, your life is in danger as well. She won't rest until she kills you because you've managed to escape her grasp. The serpent is slowly taking over her whole being at night and the only way to destroy him is to kill Angel. Who the heck even named her Angel. It should have been lucifer! "

" but baba... "

" don't you dare say another word there you fool. Do we have to sacrifice more people just because of your foolish love for her? "

" baba, I'm not in love with her"

Stanley shrank under his father's fierce gaze.

"I'd go to my room first, baba" he said in a low tone and limped to his room.

He had been severely dealt with the previous day by his father first abandoning Nifemi and making her lose his first grandchild.

Nifemi.

He sighed wearily as he stared at the ceiling.

She won't even agree to see him.

Did he hurt her that badly?!

👿👿👿

That was her seventh bottle yet she still wasn't drunk.

She wanted to get drunk so badly.

To forget everything.

To get rid of all the pains she was feeling.

Physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically.

That night, someone would die.

If she made the mistake of sleeping, the serpent would take control of her body and kill a loved one of hers.

Who was next?.

Her mum?

Her dad?

Emmanuel?

David?

Or was it Evans?.

She was about to go gaga.

She took a huge swing from the alcohol as she thought of the conversation she had with Stanley the previous day.

"... is to kill you?

Kill her?

She had to die?

But why?

That was too cruel.

She was oblivious to all of it and she was only eighteen.

She didn't deserve all that.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain course through her body which made her let out a loud shriek as she fell to the floor, attracting the attention of everyone in the bar.

Her head hit the floor with a loud thud and her breath got caught in her throat, her eyes widened as tears began spilling from her head.

She wasn't breathing but she want dead.

Screams of horror reverberated through the bar

Suddenly, memories started pouring into her head.

Past memories

Memories of Annie, the succubus.

Her wound began healing itself as she was suddenly lifted up in the air by an invisible force.

The black gown she had on turned into a floor length tight fitting red gown which had a slit that reached above her tight.

Her braided hair turned into a black, waist length waves, flowing freely behind her.

Her lips became rosy red her eyes turned dark, giving her the sexy look.

She landed slowly on her feet, and a pair of red stiletto appeared on her feet.

A dagger with a red sheath appeared in her hand and she looked seductive yet menacing.

Her lips curled into a cunningly dangerous smirk.

She was no longer a useless succubus who only knew how to sleep with sleeping men.

She had become powerful, she could feel it, taste it.

The serpent's powers had become hers.

A new Annie had been reborn.

She was back, different.
