It looked like a bonfire in the middle of dark woods, adding a rather medieval atmosphere to the area. Except the fire was inside an old metal barrel, in the middle of the mostly abandoned Jefferson park at the Glades. It was slightly past 10 PM when Kristanna arrived. All lights at the park had been vandalized over time, turning it into a pit of darkness during the evening, a problem that no one cared enough to fix. For someone with normal eyesight, this was a dangerous urban park. Junkies, homeless people and others that were up to no good used to come here. The kind of place most would avoid after dark. The core of the park was blocked from any sight from the street, Helen sat atop of a meter tall stone wall, staring into the fire. Her red hair looked even brighter at this light.
Helen was throwing some old papers and wood into the fire, making sure it would stay lit. She could swear she saw Kristanna's eyes glow like a cat's as the demoness emerged from the darkness. The witch felt her mouth dry, her heart racing at the sight of the nun quietly walking towards her. The realization that they were alone at an isolated park suddenly hit her, she just looked around and spoke with a trembling voice, "My sister is on her way... just so you know"
Kristanna slowly walked to the fire, the flames danced in her eyes. She could almost smell the fear emanating from Helen. It was good to keep it that way, fear could be motivating. The nun simply ignored the redhead and waited in silence, letting the tension in the air grow. No words were exchanged between them for long ten minutes, until Samantha finally approached, "You came, thought your curfew would get in the way."
The amazon turned to Samantha, her much taller and imposing figure towered over the small brunette, "Don't push your luck. We're not at a diner now."
Samantha took a step back and raised her hands in a surrendering gesture, "Hey! Calm down, jeez."
Kristanna couldn't tell if it was all just an act to look tough, or if Samantha didn't fear her like her sister. The idea of not knowing who she was and what she could do bothered the demonic amazon more than anything. She was used to being in control of the situation, but there was none of that here. There was little chance the witches would give her complete information tonight. All of it made the thought of just charming her way into fucking the brains out of the two witches increasingly appealing. Whatever they had to tell her, the witches could do it as her servants, right? After they were addicted to cum she would have leverage.
At the same time, Kristanna didn't know what the witches could do. If they could somehow resist the allure from her precum and fluids. The witches could easily get her off-guard with some spell. And even if they didn't, sex addiction wasn't a powerful enough motivation to get the truth out of them. They would probably say whatever Kristanna wanted to hear anyway, just to get their fix. So keeping them as allies at least for now seemed more reasonable. Kristanna would just have to take whatever information they were willing to share and run with it. If anything, it would be a starting point to explore her full potential, "So, how do we start this?" the demoness inquired impatiently, while playfully hovering a hand over the warm fire.
Samantha grabbed a small needle from her pocket and approached Kristanna, "I need a little drop of your blood."
The demoness pulled her hand back, narrowing her eyes. Some witch wants to pinch you with a needle. Even the most naive would be apprehensive at that prospect, with good reason. Samantha just rolled her eyes and let out a sigh, "Come on, it's harmless!" she licked the needle to prove it wasn't poisoned, "to find out what you can do we need to find out your demonic bloodline. There are many different succubi. Depending on which bloodline you descend from you might have one power or the other. Give me your hand."
With some hesitation, Kristanna extended her palm to Samantha. The witch punctured her finger with the needle and quickly wrapped her lips around it. She slowly and sensually sucked the tip of Kristanna's finger, tasting the blood. With her eyes closed, Samantha whispered a few words. Helen just watched everything, sitting on the wall. A breeze blew through Samantha's hair as she slowly tossed her head back. Her lips whispered a name into the night, "The blood of Lilith..."
As if awaking from a trance, Samantha stared at Kristanna in surprise, "Fuck! Your bloodline traces back to Lilith!"
The nun looked clueless, turning to Helen who had the same surprised look on her face, then back to Samantha in front of her. She pulled her hand back watching the small wound already closed, "So, what does that mean? What kind of powers do I have?"
The witch looked stunned, she moved towards her sister and sat on the wall next to her, "I don't know... you could have any of them, all of them as far as I am concerned. Lilith's bloodline is so rare that we don't really know."
Kristanna narrowed her eyes. So now, after tasting her blood, the witch "conveniently" didn't know anything. It all smelled like bullshit, "Just remember if I don't know what I can do there is no way I can help you with that Nabassu problem you have. No powers, no deal!"
The constant distrust from the nun was irritating to the witches, but it was also justified. Samantha scratched her head trying to come up with a solution, "Alright, let's go through some common powers, ok? Enhanced senses and strength, dark vision, quick healing, especially when you feed. The ability to see auras on others, also moving objects with your mind. Did I hit any so far?"
Kristanna heard all that, checking the boxes in her head, "Yes to all of those, except the last one... but there was this one time..." The demoness recalled the point during the Carnal Baptism ritual back at the Camp of Blessing, when she drained every novice in the chapel. She was almost certain she saw them floating above the ground for a moment, maybe she had lifted them? "How can I test if I can do it?"
The witches looked at each other, puzzled. Samantha grabbed an empty can of beer from the ground, tapped the dirt off of it and put it on the wall a few feet from her sister, "Just try it, I guess."
As the witches moved away, Kristanna began to stare at the empty can of beer. She felt silly doing that, like when you are too far from the remote and just wish you could be in Star Wars and float it towards your hand. Nothing happened for several seconds, she hesitated looking at Samantha and Helen who just seemed to be waiting. Anticipation built up, then began to die down. It was like trying to move a muscle that wasn't in her body, there was nothing to move, "It's not working. Fuck, this is pointless!" Kristanna said in frustration, pacing around.
Helen raised a hand as if she was a student in class asking permission to speak. Kristanna just stared at her waiting to hear what she had to say, "M-maybe you want to remember what was going on when it happened that one time? What was different? How did you feel when you used the power?"
Kristanna smiled wickedly at that statement. There was no way to easily reproduce the Carnal Baptism, "It was... a very specific event. I don't think I can repeat it here, we are lacking several other people."
The lust in the succubus' voice was all the witches needed to conclude the rest. Helen blushed, "Well, it doesn't have to be exactly like that day, just closer. If you have this power something must be blocking it, try to remove anything that could be in the way and you may be able to access it again."
Nodding, Kristanna took in that information. She thought for a few seconds, then began removing the veil covering her hair. The long, beautiful black hair waved around free, the red strands on it were barely visible under this limited light, "Alright, let me try something" she said closing her eyes.
As the words came out of Kristanna's mouth, she opened her eyes again, they had changed color, pupils elongated, the molten glow burned bright in her irises. Molten horns sprouted from under her raven hair, curving up and backward. The spaded tail wiggled free under her habit. The two witches gasped, Helen looked like she was trying to hide behind Samantha, an impossible task given her superior height. They contained themselves, simply watching what the nun was doing. Kristanna turned back to the beer can and raised a hand towards it. She remembered how the act of hiding her demonic features always required some of her focus. She couldn't keep them hidden when her emotions ran high, especially if she was horny. Maybe it was blocking some of her powers too. It was definitely worth the try.
Nothing but the noise of the fire crackling could be heard for long, excruciating seconds. Until finally the beer can almost tipped over as if someone had hit it with a small rock. It shook on its axis and then stopped again, unimpressively. Kristanna gasped and opened up the biggest smile turning to the witches in excitement, "Did you see that!"
Samantha nodded, she tried hard but couldn't hide the tension and worry on her face anymore. While the nun seemed as excited as a child, the witch was far from that. She knew very well what this could mean. There was no lack of references in pop culture, Jean Grey from the X-Men came to mind. But even worse, Carrie from the movie with the same name. Kristanna seemed to be missing all those references due to her somewhat isolated childhood, bouncing between foster homes and then the Smiths, who believed most of the pop culture was "of the devil" and kept her from it. For Kristanna, this was just some exciting adventure, but the witches looked tense and concerned.
