Episode 3:
Can't you give me more time?
I watched the flames rolling in the fire for a long moment, pondering your words before taking a drink from my glass. My statement about not-so-happy endings having obviously sparked something in you. "I understand your concern my pet, but this is all in the past now. Life is a trial and we learn from it, regardless if our hearts still beat or not."
I rose from my seat as you sat up, and moved to the window sill once more. The silk gown I wore flowed and clung to my body, which had not changed a bit in these past years.
Looking out over the night and the rainy city in the distance, I pursed my lips, lost in thought about things. I thought about loved ones in both my mundane life and this one. I was of course lying, digging up old memories was painful sometimes, even now. I questioned if you heard the apprehension in my voice as I spoke out once more. "Do you want I should continue? my pet?"
I set my focus on one of the towering buildings in the distance, along with my jaw when your words came. I composed myself and turned to offer a bemused smile like that of a doting mother. "Such a curious thing..." My fingertips drifted over your arm as I passed you and returned to my seat at the fire.
You were there, sitting up on the sofa next to me, like an excited child waiting for a bedtime story. I offered you a smile and drew from my cup once more, feeling the rush fill me as I let out a sigh and looked to the fire before continuing. "Not so happy endings do not necessarily mean tragic in the long run... Ha, but I am getting ahead of myself, let us focus on where we currently are in my tale..."
—♥—
I had been with my new family for nearly a month now. Katrina had been diligent in my training, despite me constantly derailing it for affection and sex. Suffice to say, she had been drinking a lot more blood to keep up.
I had a few more close calls, but nothing on the level of our first time. You could say I had even become adept at focusing my will and energy on the opposite spectrum. Imagine that, a succubus that drains herself instead of you. I remember the first time I pulled it off, poor Katrina was so adorable. I had her drooling and mindless with pleasure. Then when we were done, she was hyper as could be and full of energy. I, on the other hand, needed a nap.
Were we a thing? Oh, certainly not at the time... I had developed feelings for her over the month and I knew she liked me as well. The sex was amazing and we got along well, but she reminded me constantly that she understood what I was, as well that she didn't expect monogamy out of me. Still, I could see the jealousy she would show when I got a little too flirty with others around her.
On the day signifying a full month of being there, I was summoned to speak with Elias in his office. It would be my first encounter with the Marquis alone and in an official capacity. Katrina pleaded with me to keep myself under control, explaining it was a very important meeting but she couldn't say more than that.
I found myself outside of the white fox's office and raised my hand to knock, when he called out from within, "Come in, Alice."
My ears lifted and I opened the door to slip into his office. The room looked like something straight out of an old museum. Everything from the furniture to the books lining the shelves, it all looked several hundred years old. It was like I had stepped into a portal and found myself back in the renaissance age. The fox sat in a regal-looking chair, behind a large sturdy desk that looked of finely polished oak.
"Sit, my rabbit." He gestured to one of the two elaborate chairs before him and I felt my tension rise as I quickly moved over to take a seat. I placed my hands on my lap nervously while I scanned the room.
"Do you know why you are here?" He asked pointedly.
"N-no, sir... Katrina simply said it was important and to mind my manners." I spoke the words with a slight blush on my cheeks. Even from there, I could feel the old fox's overwhelming aura of will and power threatening to dominate my own. Despite the improvements to my endurance over the last month, it paled in comparison to him.
"Ah, Katrina..." He nodded as he folded his hands and gave me a calculated look. "Speaking of her, this is unrelated to why you are here, but I wish to express concern over you and hers ... relationship."
My ears lifted and my stomach twisted in a knot. I'm sure he easily saw the fear and concern in my eyes. "Y-yes my lord?"
"You are a succubus, Alice. You can't keep feeding off her, she isn't mundane." The fox spoke the words matter of fact.
I felt panic push up into my chest for some reason and quickly spoke out. "M-master, er... sir... I-if I may speak?"
He smiled, amused by the multiple titles I had used and seeing my nervousness. He opened his palms and gave me a reassuring grin. "We are family, Alice. You are my sister like Katrina is and like Alex is my brother. Do not be afraid to talk to me and address me how you are comfortable in doing so. Speak."
I felt my cheeks burn and looked down, blinking several times to organize my thoughts before looking back at him and speaking out. "I- I'm not feeding on her anymore, Elias... sir."
"Oh?" The fox spoke out, raising his brow and one ear curiously.
"N-no sir... I have that under control. I don't... I don't take her energy when we are... together. I do it to make her happy, and... if anything... uh... S-she feeds off me now?" I laughed as I spoke the last of the words and rubbed the back of my head, my ears wobbling about nervously.
The fox fixed me with a serious look that rattled my composure as he spoke out authoritatively. "Explain what you mean."
I flinched and bit my lower lip, feeling the nerves well up in me as I looked away. "Ah... I mean... I..."
Elias sighed and softened his gaze. "Alice... my rabbit, my sister... do not be afraid, just tell me what you mean by her feeding upon you. Neither of you is in any sort of trouble."
I calmed myself and gave him a nod. "At first I was able to just close off that um... mojo..." I laughed at using her word then grinned. "Then I was able to... erm... reverse it? At first, I did it to make her feel good, push my will forth and make her body feel all the better. T-then... well now, like..." I huffed and clenched my fist. "So like, if Katrina is having a bad day. I will hug her really tight and focus my will, pushing some of my energy into her. It makes her happy but then she will scold me telling me I shouldn't be wasting my energy on her."
The fox's mouth gaped slightly at the words and he moved to reach across the desk, extending his arm and opening his palm. "Show me..."
I blushed and hesitated, my hand lingering several inches from his. "Ah... sir... but when I touch you, I tend to..."
He smiled and shook his head. "Relax, I've turned off my 'mojo'." He spoke the word with a grin.
I smiled and nodded before moving my hand into his own. It was warm to the touch, making me assume he was using his own reserves of blood to keep his heart beating. Indeed, I could feel the thrum of his pulse at my fingertips and imagine the blood flowing through his wrist. There was no overwhelming rush of energy like there had been in the past from him though.
"Good, now first... try to feed on me, I'm going to resist you." He growled the words gently and I nodded.
I focused and tried to pull energy from him, it was like I was trying to pull energy from a brick, not a glimmer of a tingle came. I gritted my teeth in frustration and focused, my ears folding, my tail flicking about in concentration.
"Try harder Alice." He barked the words out, they came to my ears as an order and I snarled as I focused my will.
"I know you've got more in you than that, rabbit. I said try harder!" His words came out sharp and I felt his will start to overbear me. It felt as if it were a commandment and my very life was on the line if I disobeyed him.
I fixed the fox with a defiant glare and snapped my teeth together before my eyes grew a deep red. I shrugged off all restraints the cat had instilled upon me and the demons came to my walls of fortitude. I flung them open, welcoming them and embracing every drop of power they promised me.
Elias's eyes opened wide at the display and I felt the faint glimmer of energy start to pull from him. He clenched his own teeth, showing his sharp canines to me as he started to resist. I wasn't having it, my body wasn't having it.
While gripping his hand I felt myself launch across his desk into him like I had done when I first came here. The contact broke from our hands as I shoved my smaller body fully up against his own, getting as much contact as I could. I felt the familiar rush of energy from him but I wanted more, no, my demons in me demanded more.
He huffed out his shock and I shoved my mouth to his own in a hungry kiss. The fox growled against my lips and I felt him returning it, a primal rational side of me deep down was shocked by it, but I kept going. My tongue pushed against his own and the rush of energy coming from him was intoxicating. It wasn't like Alex and Katrina, no this wasn't just energy, it was power. I felt centuries of cultivated will and strength flow into me violently, my very soul desperate to claim it all for myself.
A snarl came from Elias's mouth and then it all ended with him grabbing my throat before forcing me off him. He stood, holding me aloft from the ground, I couldn't breathe, not that it mattered if I did or not. The red in my eyes faded and I blinked down at the dog, a whimper in my throat.
He stood there holding me, with his teeth bared and a furious glare in his eyes. His crystal blue irises had intensified as if burning with white-hot fire. His ears and tail had wisps of blue flames licking off them as if the energy I had tried to siphon from him, was just pouring out of his body. "You dare try to claim my power, fledgling succubus? You think I have not the power and the force of will to extinguish your very soul in a gout of fire?!"
I felt I was going to die as I struggled against his grip, my thoughts turned to Katrina and my mortal family as tears started rolling down my cheeks. I yelped out weakly and clenched my teeth before summoning up what words I could and yelled out, "You ordered me... too! S-stupid fox!"
The fox let out a hungry growl and his own eyes shifted as if he were reining his own self under control. He released my throat and I landed on his desk, a heavy gasp of air being pulled into my lungs on instinct alone.
