Succubi Woes

Chapter 3 Dangerous

I was quiet on the drive to Massachusetts and got some much needed sleep. The institute was in the rural town of Nimbus at the edge of a forest. The main building looked to be over a hundred years old while the surrounding buildings appeared newer. It reminded me somewhat of a college campus with young people wandering around and laughing in groups.

We were met by the Director’s assistant Linda who helped me get my things from the car. She had that same fuzzy light around her head that Jason had and I knew she was a Demon too. She was really pretty with black hair and pale blue eyes. She looked like she couldn’t have been older than thirty.

“This is a strange rehab”, said my mom as we entered the old building. Despite its large size it felt cozy. There was a working fireplace in the corner and multiple area rugs on the wooden floor. There were a few Demons lounging in an alcove drinking coffee and laughing. It put my nerves at ease.

Linda met my eyes and smiled. “We are one of the most renowned institutions in the world. Your daughter will be perfectly safe here.”

My mother didn’t look convinced but my father seemed content. We were shown to my room on the third floor which was equally as cozy as the rest of the building. One thing that was nice about the room was the big bed, it looked to be at least a King and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. “What's with the huge bed?” asked my father.

Linda winked at me and I blushed. “We just like our students to be comfortable.”

My parents helped me unpack before wishing me goodbye. I promised to call my mom every day and they said they would come visit me in a few weeks.

That night I laid in my huge bed staring at my schedule for tomorrow. Tomorrow was orientation and I was excited to meet other Succubi. I hoped I would meet some cute boys. I went to sleep that night feeling hopeful for my future.

At orientation the next day I was sitting in a big conference room with multiple round tables surrounded by Demons. Breakfast was provided and I stood nervously with my tray trying to figure out where to sit.

"You can sit with us", said a voice from behind me. I turned to face one of the most beautiful women I had ever met. She had yellow hair and big hazel eyes. Her skin was perfect and her figure looked amazing in a tight red sweater dress. I wasn't usually attracted to women but when I caught her scent, I knew I had to have her.

I smiled at her and slid my tray of food next to her. Her hand rested lazily on my thigh and I knew she had to be a Succubus too. She introduced herself as Paris and introduced me to the rest of the table. I sat with a mixture of Vampires and Succubi but Paris smelled the best out of all of them.

Suddenly a booming voice came from the front of the room. "Welcome Freshman Demons!", shouted a short woman with curly dark hair who appeared to be in her fifties.

"We come here today at The Demon Institute of Excellence to learn about ourselves and how we best fit into this world. I am President Mona Larou and I'm happy to see so many new faces".

President Larou spoke about expectations for new students and what they would be learning. I tried to focus on what she was saying but kept getting distracted by Paris's hand moving farther and farther up my lap.

Apparently this place was like a College/finishing school for Demons. After we learned about ourselves we were expected to pick careers to help us fit into society. I was lucky that the school started its year in the Spring instead of the fall.

I wondered what a good career for a Succubus would be.

At the end of President Larou's speech they split us into three groups. Two for Blood and Energy Vampires and another for Succubi. Surprisingly Succubi was the smallest group. Out of 50 Freshman there were only 10 of us.

Paris remained right next to me, her hands playing with the hem of my shirt. Our Orientation Guide was a male Succubus who I later found out were called Incubi. He was a Senior who planned on working on a cruise ship as a dance instructor. He was very sensual with dark eyes and black curly hair. He oozed sexuality.

"I want all of you to get very comfortable with each other", said our instructor Miguel. "It's not safe to be with humans right now because you're all so newly awakened. Since I want to make a point about staying away from humans I want you all to share what happened when you awakened".

Everyone looked uncomfortable and avoided eye contact until Paris spoke up. "I was 16 when it happened to me. I was fingering my girlfriend when she started getting really sick. I didn't know what was happening, but I was feeling an amazing rush and I couldn’t stop. I didn’t realize what had happened until she started convulsing, and not the good kind. We had to go to the hospital and she ended up being okay but I learned after that that I had to be careful. I stuck to being with guys after that because I knew I wouldn’t lose control.”

Everyone in our group had similar stories so I didn’t feel as bad when I spoke about my boyfriend. Everyone expressed their sympathy after I explained about him breaking up with me.

Then Miguel shared the worse story of all. He talked about how when he was 19 he had s*x with his girlfriend for the first time. One of his parents was an Energy Vampire and the other was an Incubus, so he wasn’t sure what he would awaken as. When it happened he hadn’t been able to stop himself until it was too late. “She had an unknown heart condition that sent her into cardiac arrest”, Miguel said with a voice full of emotions. “I attempted to perform CPR but because my strength was enhanced from the s****l energy I accidentally broke her ribs. One of the bones burst her right lung and she ended up drowning in her own blood.”

There was a heavy silence after his story. “I tell you this not to scare you, but as a warning. Humans are vulnerable and you can seriously hurt and kill them if you aren’t careful. That's why we are only going to be feeding off of each other. I can see some of you are weak already so why don’t we partner up and begin.”

Paris took my hand as other Succubi and Incubi partnered off and left the room. “My room or yours?”, she whispered.

“Mine”, I said hesitantly, licking my lips. My heart pounded with excitement as I led her to my dorm room.
