It wasn’t too hard to find this intern. The very next day he showed up in group where we were supposed to talk about our feelings. I was on the verge of passing out when I smelled him. He was tall and lean, with blond hair and bright blue eyes. One of the first things I noticed about him besides his smell was his perfect white teeth. He looked to be in his mid twenties and was extremely good looking.
I was sitting in a circle of eight girls with Ms. Carin. Jason took a seat next to her and looked surprised to see me. His eyes squinted sharply before he shook himself off and his face became passive. I noticed that he had a strange glare around his head. Like a light was shining just behind him. I figured I was so sick I was starting to hallucinate lights coming from people’s heads.
“Today we welcome to the group Ms. Cynthia Brown”, said Carin in her annoyingly perky voice. She asked me to introduce myself to the group which I tried with all the energy I could muster. She kept talking but I just couldn’t keep my focus from Jason. Our eyes would continuously meet and part ways. I knew the effect I had on men and hoped that he was feeling it.
“Ms. Brown, can you please tell the group what brought you here?”, asked Carin. I realized I had been spacing off and had not been paying any attention to the group. “Um my parents brought me here”, I mumbled. This was followed by a few giggles and Carin’s face turned a little red.
“Ms. Brown its important that you pay attention and take this group seriously. We were talking about the decisions that lead us here and I want you to share yours with the group.”
I felt a little panicky about what I was supposed to say. I wasn’t actually a drug addict but Carin would be pissed if I said that. Although I guess I was an addict in a way, just not the kind they thought. “I tried to sneak out of my house to meet up with someone”, I said.
“So you were trying to go see your dealer?” asked Carin.
I nodded yes, since Carin wasn’t technically wrong. I was addicted to s*x like Crack.
“Wonderful!” said Carin. “I’m so proud of you for admitting you have a problem. Now the real work can begin.”
I just nodded my head like what she was saying made sense while I vaguely listened to the other girl’s stories. One girl named Amanda who had a shaved head started crying when she admitted to giving blowjobs in exchange for heroin. Everyone clapped their hands and congratulated her which I thought was really messed up.
Once group finished, Jason and Carin approached me. “Its nice to meet you Cynthia", he said with a hand shake. I took his hand and felt a jolt when he touched me. Our eyes met and I could have fell into them.
“Jason is going to give you a tour of the facility and talk about our groups with you. Once we know more about you we will know how to best go ahead with treatment. Jason is a Psychology intern who is finishing his Masters degree. I’m sure you two will get along well”, said Carin with a cheerful smile before excusing herself.
I looked at Jason who was peering at me with a curious look. “Would you like to get some fresh air?” he asked.
I nodded my head happy to be going outside. All the exits were locked unless you had a badge to leave the building. Only residents who have proved their trustworthiness were able to go outside without an attendant.
It was the beginning of spring and I felt a slight chill in my jeans and hoodie. The yard was a grassy fenced in area with benches to sit in and some trees. I followed Jason to a bench where he gestured for me to sit down.
“You aren’t really a drug addict are you,” said Jason who pulled a vape from his pocket.
“I’m here by mistake, and I need to get out of here can you help me?” I asked desperately. My health was going down hill fast and I didn’t know how much longer I could force myself out of bed in the morning.
Jason offered his vape to me and I took a quick puff. “I can try to contact the agency for you but its going to be difficult to get you in. I assume your parent’s don’t know what you are?”
“How do you know about me?” I asked. “What am I?”
Jason shook his head. “Isn’t it obvious. You are a Demon. My guess is your adopted?”
I nodded my head, wondering what he was talking about. “I’m not human?”
Jason sighed. “I wish the agency was able to track down kids like you better. Its hard when demons get sent to adoption agencies or foster care. It makes things really tricky when they come of age, which I’m guessing you just did.”
I felt completely confused. “What do you mean kids like me? What is a Demon, do you mean like the Devil?”
“No no no”, said jason puffing on his vape. “A Demon is like a species of human or a different branch of humanity. We are like the leaches of humans. We feed off of them in one way or another. All of us demons are different. For example I am an Energy Vampire. I can sense and feed off the feelings of others. There are also Blood Vampires who drink blood obviously, and then there are Succubus and Incubus. I’m going to assume you are a Succubus by how sick you are and the fact you haven’t gone crazy and bit anyone yet.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I was a Succubus. “If Vampires feed off of emotions or blood, then what does a Succubus feed off of?” I asked even though i was pretty sure I knew the answer.
Jason grinned at me and said , “you need s*x. Since you are a woman, you need a man’s seed in order to survive. I’m guessing you haven’t had that in a while?”
I knew he was going to say that but I just needed to hear it to know that I wasn’t going insane. That's when I looked at Jason’s grin and was suddenly caught up in his amazing aroma. I started moving closer to him unconsciously.
“Let's go somewhere a little more private”, said Jason as he pulled me by my hand. He took us at the far end of the yard that was hidden by trees and bushes. It was almost impossible to see the building through the branches.
“Do you consent to f*****g me Succubus?” Jason asked with a smirk as he pressed his body into mine. He didn’t have to ask. Our lips met in a fiery inferno and I felt the energy that I so greatly needed begin to rise within me. We quickly took off our clothes as we made out, feeling each other’s bodies.
I could've taken my time but I was desperate and since Jason knew what I was feeling he could sense that I was ready as well. I was on my hands and knees when he entered me from behind. I had never been in this position before and it hit a spot I didn’t know I had. That amazing feeling of euphoria began to rise in my body as Jason moved within me. I moaned in pleasure and met him thrust for thrust. I was taken higher and higher by the pheromones coming off of his body and when he finally came I lost it.
Pleasure exploded in my body as I moaned. Jason pulled out of me and zipped himself up before sitting on the grass next to me. I pulled on my clothes feeling the best I ever had.
I looked over at Jason and noticed he still seemed perfectly healthy. “How come you aren’t affected by me like the other boys?”
“I’m a Demon, I can harvest your feelings while you harvest me. Its mutually beneficial but not quite as good as it can be with a human”.
I sighed, “Whenever I have s*x with a boy I almost kill them. I sent my ex into a coma. Is that what its like for all Succubi?”
Jason looked deep in thought. “I’m not entirely sure. This is stuff they can teach you at the Demon Institute. I mostly know about Vampires. I’m going to contact the Institute and let them know you are here. They take care of us Demons.”
I felt so relieved that I finally knew what I was and that there was a place for people like me. I was also glad that I didn’t feel sick any more. Jason walked me back to the building and let me know he would get in touch with me when he spoke to the Institute. I hoped it was soon because I didn’t know how much longer I could handle this place.
Jason kept to his word. A week later I was called into Ms.Carin’s office where she was holding a meeting with my parents. My mom was crying and my Dad had a grave look on his face. Jason was there as well which made me feel slightly more comfortable.
“It has come to our attention that you have snuck drugs into our facility." I was completely shocked but when I looked over at Jason I figured this was part of his plan to get me out. He even had a little baggy of pills that he had “found” under my mattress.
“Since you are not progressing with therapy and have found another source of drugs, we think it would be best to move you to a more intensive inpatient treatment.”
Ms. Carin paused, waiting for me to react. She seemed disappointed when I just shrugged my shoulders.
“What did we do wrong?” my mother cried as tears fell down her face.
I felt terrible but I didn’t know how to comfort my mom. I hadn’t really done anything wrong but nobody but Jason would believe me. I remained quiet while the adults talked about the logistics of me going to the Institute in Massachusetts. I currently was in Rhode Island and my parents would be driving me.
It was explained that this Institute was like a boarding school for troubled teens. They would help me get my highschool diploma and then take college courses.
It was all planned for me to pack and prepare to move on Friday. I felt excited about the change but guilty that my parents were going through this. I gave my parents a hug before they left and told them everything would be okay, I don’t think they believed me.
