Sarah stood naked in front of her bedroom window, watching the cars and trucks silently move through the streets of Winsome Bay. From this height, the cars appeared to have lost their individuality under the shroud of night, appearing as solid snakes of moving red and white light slithering in-between buildings. Even the buildings themselves had a slight bestial look to them; The random lights left illuminated in the windows of the concrete towers, were reminiscent of many yellow eyes watching her from the darkness.
A large masculine hand slid across Sarah's exposed belly, and gently pulled her into contact with the man standing behind her, distracting her from her thoughts of the city. Sarah could feel the warm muscle of the man's abs and chest against her back, accompanied by the heat of his manhood awakening to rest against her inner thigh. The man pecked at her neck with gentle kisses. Like a drug, the kisses seemed to melt the tension from Sarah's body. She rolled her head back in response, exposing more of her neck to the man, and let out a husky laugh of relaxed pleasure.
Sarah turned to face the stranger, biting her lower lip as she drank in the sight.
The man was tall and handsome, with a strong jaw, sandy-blonde hair, and a calming smile that showed his polished white teeth. Between his legs was a cock that had an unspoken promise of being for Sarah and Sarah alone.
Sarah touched his face and leaned in to kiss his full lips. She needed to stand on her toes to reach his mouth. The kiss was soft at first, but she soon needed more. In her desire, Sarah pushed her tongue past his lips, and explored his mouth, eager for the man to respond in kind. His mouth tasted of tropical fruit, sweet and exotic. The size of the man's mouth seemed odd though, like it was somehow larger than it should have been. Her tongue danced with the man's, but she never touched his teeth, as if they were out of reach. When Sarah did manage to accidently brush against the man's teeth, they were revealed to be razor sharp and immediately cut her.
Sarah yelped and pulled away from the man, putting her hand to her mouth. She could taste the coppery flavor of blood on her tongue.
Confused, Sarah looked up at the once handsome man to find Endo staring down at her, smiling wolfishly with his many rows of shark-like teeth.
"I apologize for the interruption, but I wanted to speak with you." Endo said.
Sarah spit the blood from her mouth and looked around her, realizing that she now stood in Endo's study. The blood she spat was almost invisible on the room's crimson carpeting.
"What have I said about entering my dreams, Endo?" Sarah asked, frustrated that the outlet for her arousal had vanished. She wanted that man; she wanted him to fill her, and to ride him until she collapsed on top of him.
"You would have woken long before you had the chance to mount the male." Endo stated.
"Something I'd prefer to experience for myself, thank you. At the very least, I would have liked the dream would have remained a dream, not some nightmare. You may think your beautiful, but you're not on my to-do list." said Sarah.
Endo chuckled. "I have pleasured mortals in ways you can't even imagine, my Vessel. You should consider yourself too lucky to have such a resource at hand." Endo said confidently.
"Thanks, but I think I'll stick with my humans." Sarah said with a tight smile. "It's a whole different kink if I start fucking demons."
"Suit yourself. I only make you aware of your... options." Said Endo, slyly.
"Of course, my options." Sarah said with a tight smile and an over-exaggerated nod. She shook her head, desperately wanting to change the topic. "Anyway, what's so important that you felt the need to invade my dream?" she asked.
"Ah yes, I was considering the words of Vincent Ward. He spoke of recognizing the mortals he acquired the souls from as past business associates of his father's. We should find out who sired Vincent Ward, and inquire who these business associates are from that man." Said Endo.
Sarah walked around Endo and sat on the edge of his desk, crossing her legs. "Well, if he's part of the Ward family I'm thinking of, we won't have to look too hard. James Ward is one of the richest men in town, he owns and runs Ward Industries. Honestly, with that much power, it's hard to imagine that he isn't a crime leader." Said Sarah
"If this man is one of the faction leaders, he is then your target?" asked Endo.
Sarah considered that. Endo was right, if James Ward was the leader of one of the criminal empires, he just made it to the top of Sarah's hit-list.
"I think the CEO of Ward Industries is due for early retirement." Said Sarah.
Endo teeth showed in a grin.
Sarah managed to eliminate one of the faction leaders before. Last year, Ewan Kemp was Winsome Bay's biggest cocaine and sex trafficker. She got Kemp, but it was close, and nearly cost Sarah her life. She'd been reckless and cocky that night, and Kemp and his men took full advantage of it. Her assault was turned into an ambush. Kemp allowed himself to be cornered, while his men flanked Sarah and shot her from behind. They laughed at her as she lay wounded on the floor under them, and they would have done even more had Endo not intervened. She doesn't remember much of what happened, but the screams of horror and agony still resonated with her. She would have died from her injuries that night, if Endo hadn't taken her into the Void.
The Void was either a dimension where demons are from, or someplace they created. It is place of pure darkness, a paradise for demons, yet extremely dangerous. Although dangerous, the Void was the only place Endo could have taken Sarah to heal her injuries. Her demon side could heal cuts and bruises while she slept, but organ damage and bullet holes were something a nap couldn't fix. Maybe it was the perfect darkness or some mystical energies of the Void, but the Void empowered the demon part of Sarah's soul to heal her body's wounds at incredible speeds; Provided, that she wasn't eaten by another demon while being there. The demons of the Void constantly consumed one another for power. It was a never-ending struggle for power that Sarah noted, had many similarities to the criminal underworld of Winsome Bay.
It still took six days for Sarah to recover in the Void, and in that time, everything Sarah fought for by killing Kemp was undone. Someone had replaced Ewan Kemp and the cocaine and sex trade in Winsome Bay resumed. The new faction leader unknown.
Sarah wasn't going to make the same mistakes with Ward. She wasn't just going to just eliminate James Ward; she was going to destroy his entire empire, leaving only a smoking ruin behind, and destroy anyone who dared to dig in the ashes.
"Ward Industries was where we acquired the material for that outfit of yours. We've gotten in before, it should not prove difficult to infiltrate the building again." Continued Endo, his gaze distancing and his hand going to his chin, as he likely pondered a scheme to attack the head of Ward Industries.
Sarah laughed. "That place was a fortress, with barely a sliver of shadow to move through, we only got in last time because I bribed a guard $500,000 to look the other way when I got spotted; Not to mention what I had to do to for the scientist." said Sarah, exasperated.
"If you had just dispatched them as I suggested, we wouldn't be having this argument." Said Endo in a casual tone.
"The guards were innocent. We've been over this." Said Sarah strictly.
