The Peculiar tales of Cedric Saintclair

Chapter Two

Rebecca ;
___________

I have waited long enough. Cedric is on his way to my office at this very moment, why can't I just off him now? He should have had something come about recently that he is not telling me. I don't want to deal with him any longer,its been eight years with this imbicile and everything is the same.

Although now we're both very wealthy and I have a child whom, I hadn't wanted in the beginning,but now meant the world to me. Elic was able to see like me, thankfully. Today he wanted to stay home to see his dad at work, because he had a bad dream about him last night. Cedric left early in the morning for his run with his seeing eye dog, then I arranged a meeting with his barber that he "forgot" about. All the while, Elic was bossing interns around having them turn the office into a giant Lego land. That was one of his powers, he could control people. Of course Cedric had no idea. Elic was like me, we are succubus. I've never drained Cedric's soul. I can control it. Elic can control anyone, has telekinesis, and will stop aging at twenty five.

As I catch myself day dreaming, the elevator opens and out comes Cedric. He has some glasses that let him see, but he doesn't like to use them very often because it gives him headaches. Although today he will make an exception since his son took the time to arrange this.

"Honey, your father is here! Go grab his glasses would you?" I say to Elic as a heads up.

"Oh Rebecca, why is Elic not in school?!" He grins while walking towards me, "What on earth are you two up to now?" He slide his hands around my waist putting his mouth to my ear.

"Oh, this one wasn't me. It was all him. He insisted!" I whispered and giggled.

Elic walks into the main office and hands me Cedric's glasses. As I slide them on Cedric's eyes, he smiles and says, "You know, the headaches might just be worth it if I can see your beautiful face." He kisses me with what I would guess is pure passion. I haven't experienced that since my first love, but that was hundreds of years ago.

Turning around to Elic Cedric Gasps. "Well boy, I swear you get taller and taller every day. I bet by next week you'll have a beard!" He snatches Elic and spins him in the air. I left them be to play while I went back to my office to do actual work.

I couldn't help but think back to when I agreed to do this, I was told it would be simple. Oh, how bloody wrong I was.

Nine years earlier.

Rebecca had been lying in her bed, reading Romeo and Juliet when there was a knock on her door. This was very unusual, for the reason being she lived thousands of miles away from anyone. She sat up and crossed her legs on her bed, "Come in!", she sang.
It was Dominic, of all people in the universe. The one man she had ever loved. He left her because she was royalty. He, was a guard. His job meant more to him than she did. She had moved to a part of hell that not a soul would come across, other than Satan himself. Although, she had killed him millions of years ago.

"What do you want from me. Cut to chase." She said bitterly.

"I have news for you. There is rumor of God letting a savior loose and we need you to figure out what he is going to do. Earth is not set for another apocalypse for another four hundred, thousand years. We cannot afford for this savior to conceive a plan and contradict our plans for war. We need you to make this human fall in love with you and kill him, but only when he realizes who he is."
As Dominic finished, Rebecca took him in. He was standing there in his uniform with his chest poked out and his head held high. He looked exactly the same as the day he left her.
She stood and walked a crossed her room.

"I'll do it." She says as she stares out the window. "Although, it is not because I pity you,"turning around towards Dominic "it is because god himself, couldn't stop me if he wanted to. This is MY territory. The only way to stop this, is a full on war." As she walked toward Dominic, he felt uneasy. Something was wrong. Suddenly, she grabbed his neck lifting him into the air. "You know, my dear, dear Dominic, all is fair in love and war." Before Dominic could think, she snapped his neck in two with one hand.
