Welcome back, my lovely reader!
How do you teach a new succubus how to handle things? Bringing in your incubus brother is probably a good call, but I hope you're not the jealous type. I mean, what do you expect to happen if you leave an incubus and succubus alone together?
Our lovely bunny is about to learn a little more about herself, but she'll also have some fun while she does. Val's certainly a sexy goat, but being an incubus, I suppose that's a given, eh?
Let's jump right in!

Episode 6:
No need for dreams
I felt lost in thought as I watched the lilies drift in the pond. You looked upon me curiously and spoke out, bringing my attention back. "Ah, apologies my sweet. I suppose my mind wanders in my old age." I called out the words with a playful smile.
Giving you a childish grin, I showed my sharp teeth as I spoke, "Oh, you really are chomping at the bit to hear more, eh my pet? Very well. I hope you don't mind that it will be quite salacious in nature again."

I furrowed my brow and gritted my teeth. My head ached and my brain felt tired as I huffed out before giving a defeated groan. "I can't... I just can't..."
The goat frowned while he sat across from me in the grass. The two of us had been sitting in the field facing one another for the last hour or two. "This doesn't make sense, Alice. This should be second nature to you."
"Well, it's not working! It... it feels impossible, Val. Like you're asking me to sprout wings and fly, or something equally improbable." I spoke the words with frustration and fatigue in my breath while I clutched my forehead.
He folded his arms in thought before speaking to me gently. "But Alice, how have you been feeding on mundanes?"
"I... I've not... the only energy I've pulled from is Elias and Katrina." I drooped my ears and frowned as I looked away. "I sipped on Alex's energy a little bit when I was first learning how to control it, but nothing full on like my cat and fox."
The incubus gave me a questioning look and blinked slowly. "That's... forgive me for casting doubt upon your character, Alice... but that simply isn't possible. You've been at this for over a month, you simply couldn't have gone this long without feeding properly"
"I get plenty of energy from Elias and Katrina, I don't mean to use them, but I feel so invigorated and loved after being with them." I felt the heat building in me but tried to quell it, I knew the goat wasn't trying to call me a liar, but it still irked me.
"That's not... how do I explain..." Val seemed frustrated as he rubbed his temple and drifted his fingertips over the length of one of his horns. "Alice, to put it simply. Supernaturals of any variety, not just vampires. They don't offer the substance we. Ah..." He folded his arms in thought then raised a finger. "It's like, well ice cream. It tastes good and you enjoy it, but you can't survive off it for long, you need real food."
"Well... I was lactose intolerant before this happened, so I can't relate. However, I get your analogy." I frown and looked down in thought. "Maybe the blood is doing the trick?"
"Blood?" Val cuts his eyes at me and gives me a look like he had put something together. "Who was your sire?"
"What? Uh... Elias is my master, you know that, Val." I tilt my head curiously at the question.
"No no... I mean, who changed you?" He sat forward, looking me over more intently now.
I felt my cheeks darken at his gaze so intent on me and looked away. "Ah... A bat named Luciano did..."
That got a reaction and not a positive one. Val clenched his teeth and sneered. "You... you're his doing?" I could feel the will of his anger and contempt pushing off him and overwhelming me.
Fear rolled up my spine, I hadn't seen what he was capable of, but I assumed any member of the council would tear me to shreds if they willed to do so. "Ah... V-Val... sir? You're scaring me..."
He scowled at my words and looked away from me. It took a handful of heartbeats to contain himself before he cut his black eyes to mine, a bit of anger still lingering. "Why him?"
I shook my head. "Val... uh... look I don't know okay? I didn't ask for this! S-so... please stop staring at me like I've wronged you!" My words came out more panicked than bravado as I flicked my ears nervously. I was alone in a field far away from the safety of my master or Katrina and I had pushed a large portion of my energy back into Elias to calm him before I left. I was keenly aware of the danger I could be in if the goat decided to bring harm to me.
The incubus saw the fear he was causing me and clenched his teeth again, once more looking away before fully composing himself. "Forgive me, Lady Alice. I should have assumed it would not be of your own decision."
I frowned and nodded slowly. "I'm sorry to have upset you Val."
"You have done nothing wrong. Forgive my outburst, it was disrespectful to not just you, but your house.
I frowned again and shook my head before offering a gentle smile. "It's fine sir Val, I thank you for your apology to my house and take no offense."
He nodded and then looked into my eyes. "How did he turn you though?"
"I don't recall, Val. The night was a haze to me, I only have a vague recollection. I know he enthralled me, we laid together. Then Katrina and Alex saved me."
"So he laid with you, he didn't feed on you?" The goat asked curiously, prodding for more information.
I flicked my ears in thought. "My shirt was bloodied so I think he did."
"By the gods... that bat really was mad." Val hissed the words and sat up away from me slightly. "You fed upon blood when you awoke, correct?"
I nodded. "Yes I was desperate and hungry, I guess that's why Katrina brought me blood, she had seen I had been fed from. She would have assumed that's what I needed."
