Drag Me To Hell

chapter 6

student at New Haven University.

The plane touched down with a jolt, and the cabin erupted into cheers. Emily smiled, a spark of excitement igniting within her. She was in.

As she disembarked, the crisp campus air hit her like a welcome hug. She followed the crowd to baggage claim, her eyes scanning for any sign of... him.

And then she saw him – a guy with a messy sign that read "EMILY WILSON".

Emily approached the guy holding the "EMILY WILSON" sign, a hesitant smile on her face. "Hi... I'm Emily."

The guy's face lit up. "Hey! Welcome to New Haven! I'm Max, from the university's transfer program. Connor asked me to show you around, get you settled."

Connor's arrangement, nice. Emily played along. "Thanks, Max! I'm so lost here."

Max chuckled, shouldering her backpack. "Don't worry, I've got you. Car's this way. I'll take you to your apartment, show you the campus."

As they walked, Max chatted about the university, local spots, and the upcoming masquerade ball. Emily listened, soaking it all in.

At her apartment – a cozy place with a view of the campus park – Max handed her the keys. "All set. Need help unpacking or anything?"

Emily smiled. "Nah, I'm good. Thanks, Max."

Max nodded. "Alright. Text me if you need anything. Welcome to New Haven, Emily."

Left alone, Emily's eyes narrowed. Time to scope out the neighborhood, get the lay of the land...

Emily slipped out of her apartment, the evening shadows swallowing her whole. She prowled the streets, senses on high alert. A group of students stumbled out of a bar, laughing. A jogger pounded the sidewalk. And then... a lone guy walking alone, looking a bit stressed.

Emily's eyes locked onto him – young, attractive, needy. Perfect.

She sauntered up, a smile playing on her lips. The guy's eyes met hers, and he was caught. Emily leaned in, whispered something playful. He followed, like a moth to flame.

In a secluded spot, Emily fed – on his desire, his lust, his raw energy. He'd wake up tomorrow, a bit... spent. She was revitalized.

Back in her apartment, Emily smiled at the mirror. Youth and vitality coursed through her. Ready for tomorrow.

Morning came fast. Emily grabbed her backpack, blending into the sea of students headed to class. Every student couldn't help but admire her beauty as she walked past.

She slipped into her first class, psych lecture. Boring. Professor talked, students scribbled notes. Emily tuned out, people-watching.

Class dragged on. Lunch was a blur of chatter and admiring glances. Emily played it cool, soaking up the attention like a pro.

Then... last lecture of the day: "Mythology and Modern Society". The prof was wrapping up when the door opened.

A new lecturer walked in. Tall, intense eyes, black hair. This was Professor Alex.

"Ah, welcome, I'm Professor Alex," he said, setting his bag down. "Today's topic: creature

As Professor Alex continued lecturing, Emily's eyes lit up. This guy was different – no sleazy gazes, no trying to impress her. Just straight-up talking about myths and legends like he was discussing facts.

He posed a question to the class. "In the biblical story of Eve and the serpent, what do you think the snake symbolizes?"

Emily's hand shot up. "Temptation, maybe? The snake pushed Eve to take the forbidden fruit."

Professor Alex nodded, impressed. "Exactly. Many interpretations see the snake as a symbol of temptation, leading to the fall of man."

As class ended, Emily gathered her stuff. Professor Alex approached her, smiling. "Hey Emily, great insights today. You have a real interest in mythology?"

Emily smiled back, casual. "Yeah. I like stories with hidden meanings."

Professor Alex nodded. "Want to chat more about it? My office hours are today, 3 PM."

Emily's smile grew . " sounds good "

Emily walked to Professor Alex' office, curious. What did he want to chat about? She knocked, and he looked up from the papers he was scribbling on. He stopped writing, pen hovering above the page, and gestured to the chair opposite his desk with a slow nod.

Emily smiled slightly and took a seat, settling in.

He set his pen down, gathering his thoughts, eyes still on her. "So, Emily, what drew you to mythology?"

Emily leaned in, intrigued. "I like how myths explain the unexplainable. And the symbols... they're like puzzles."

Professor Alex nodded, eyes lighting up. "Exactly. Myths tap into something primal. You think there's a particular myth that draws you in?"

Emily leaned in. "Maybe the succubus one. Creatures that feed on desire... it's weirdly fascinating."

Professor Alex' expression turned thoughtful. "Interesting choice. Succubi are often seen as symbols of temptation, power dynamics... But it just a myth "

Emily smiled at him, her mind echoing of how he was sitting close to one " I don't think it all just myth "

Alex pushed his books to a free side, so that he could look at Emily through his big round glass "I will believe you, if I see one" he gave Emily a playful smirk

Emily just smiled

As they talked, hours flew by. Myths led to stories led to secrets shared. Emily found herself opening up to Professor Alex in ways she hadn't expected.

As the sun dipped, he smiled. "I'll walk you home. Getting late."

Emily nodded. They strolled through campus, talking nonstop. He dropped her off at her apartment, standing at the door. "Want to grab coffee tomorrow? Discuss more?"

Emily smiled, feeling a spark. "I'd like that."

Over the next month, they grew closer. Study sessions turned into late-night talks. Professor Alex getting fond of Emily

After a month Alex offered to take Emily out

The next evening, Alex picked Emily up at her apartment. She opened the door, looking radiant in a simple dress, That defines her shape, hair down. Alex' eyes lingered for a beat before he smiled. "Ready?"

They drove to a quiet rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. As they ordered, Emily leaned in. "So, Prof—" she whispered

He chuckled. "Alex, tonight."

Emily grinned. "Alex. What's your favorite myth?"

He leaned back, thoughtful. "Maybe the Orpheus one. Love that defies death... but fails."

Emily's eyes softened. "You think love's like that? Doomed?"

Alex' gaze met hers. "I think it's... intense. Worth the risk, maybe."

The food came; they talked nonstop. Food, music, dreams. Emily laughed more than she had in months.

As the night wound down, Alex drove her home. Parking outside her apartment, he turned to her. "Tonight was..."

Emily smiled, close. "Perfect."

He leaned in. The distance between them shrined. His lips brushed hers, soft.

Emily's heart raced. She kissed him back.

The kiss lingered, slow and exploring. Emily felt a spark she'd never felt before. Alex pulled back, eyes locked on hers. "Is this... okay?"

Emily smiled, breathless. "More than okay."

He smiled back, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Good. I'd like to see you again. Just... not as a professor."

Emily laughed softly. "I'd like that."

They sat there, car parked outside her apartment, talking some more. Eventually, Alex walked her to her door. "Tomorrow?" he asked, leaning in for another kiss.

Emily nodded, smiling. "Tomorrow."

He left, and she floated into her apartment, heart racing. This was new. This was...

Her phone buzzed. Alex: "Night, Emily."

Emily smiled, typing back. "Night, Alex."
