Joseph ran down the dirt street trying to get into any door that he could but none of them would open. Every house and business was locked knowing what was out there and knowing what he was running from as people hid hoping to spare themselves the same fate as him. He banged on every wooden door praying someone would open it but it was no use.
He was too afraid to look back hearing the wings of Nessira as she hunted him. She was toying with him and enjoyed watching him run. She could have taken him at any time but she was having too much fun as she landed in the middle of the road before folding up her wings and returning to her human form as she strolled down after him.
"Why do you resist me?" She said into the darkness. "Do you know what most men would give to have me, to die in my arms feeling pleasures never before felt?"
Joseph quietly sneaked down an alley still trying every door he could find with no luck. He prayed she didn't know where he was as he knew who and what she was and what she wanted to do to him. He couldn't deny his temptation as she was a beautiful seductress.
"You know I can have you whenever I choose but it is more fun this way don't you think? This whole cat and mouse, does it not make the blood just rush to your loans?"
Joseph hid in the dark feeling his erection in his pants. He was ashamed at how aroused he was by her as he still tried to find a place to hide when he looked over and saw a door open a few feet away from him. He saw a face he recognized as his friend Mary signaled for him to quickly come in. He moved as quietly as he could heading inside as she closed the door gently behind him.
"Thank you, Mary, you have no idea how grateful I am."
"Why is she doing this, why you?"
"I don't know, she could have killed me at any moment but I believe she enjoys toying with us."
"She is a monster, why can't she just move on and leave us be?"
"I do not know, but if the stories are true, she wants revenge for the death of the man she loved."
"A creature like that can not love, but she can not just take her revenge in innocent people!"
"Shh, keep your voice down Mary, she may hear you."
Joseph walked over to the window and looked outside seeing if Nessira was still out there. It was quiet and he did not see her anywhere. Hoping maybe she had just moved on and listened close but hear nothing.
"I think she is gone, Mary." He said as he turned around to see the red witch standing there covering Mary's mouth.
"I am not gone, I have not eaten yet." She said with a smile.
"Please do not hurt her!"
"Hurt her?" Nessira asked removing her hand from Mary's mouth to reveal her smiling. "Mary here did exactly what I wanted her to do, lure you into our little trap!"
