Qu'est-ce que tu as fait?= what did you do?

My mother solidified the white flame in her hands into a spear. It's like her eyes had become a roaring fire in themselves. She was really gonna hurt him. My father desperately tried to keep the shield protecting him. But I could see he couldn't and want to fight back.

"I loved you!" She screamed, the spear growing.

I stepped in front of my father, staring my mother dead in the eyes.

"I- I love him." She said bursting into tears. I walked over to her and engulfed her in a hug.

"I know mamma, I know. And it's gonna be okay. You are so strong and you'll be okay." Her sobs made me want to cry. "Shh, I'm here. It'll be alright." I ran one of my hands along her hair trying to calm her down. "Hold me close and hold me fast, this magic spell you cast, this is..." I sang to her. Édith Piaf don't let me down now.

"La vie en Rose." She sniffled. I let her go and held her at arms length. "See, still sing as good as ever." I smiled at her. "Now, go upstairs, take a bath, and then we can talk over some ice cream and those sappy French romance movies you love so much." She nodded and headed upstairs. My father opened his mouth to say something, but the look I gave him guided him to a better option of shutting the hell up before he got himself murdered by with me or my mother.

After I heard the water running upstairs, I turned to my father, glaring.

"Qu'est-ce que tu as fait?" I asked harshly.

"Nothing!" My father defended, trying, and failing to stand. "There was this lady at work, on of my bosses, and she kept asking me to go on a date with her. I told her I was married but she wouldn't stop. One day I even tried to cast her feelings away, but it didn't work." The only ones our magic doesn't work on are people from the two realms-but no one has seen them for millions of years- and... succubi.

"And then, on the day your mother was talking about, she was in my office again. The secretary had called me to tell me that your mother was coming up. I didn't think she would try something, but when she heard the door opening, she pushed me on my desk and started kissing me. She got her blood in my mouth so I couldn't move, and then by the time I did, your mother had ran away." Succubi have a venom in their blood that can either kill, or make them seem irresistible for a short time. They men they do this to have no choice but to do their exact bidding.

"I was going to chase after your mother but then she made me head to a meeting in America. By the time her venom was out of my system, I was already on a plane and the next flight back had been in three days." A succubus usually wouldn't do something this extreme, like trying to ruin a marriage for sex, but my father's eyes were pleading for me to believe him.

"Please, you know I would never hurt your mother on purpose." Sure they have some rough patches, but I had never seen anyone love as much as they did. I sighed, rubbing my temples.

"I believe you." I gave in. I went over to help my dad up. " it you should know, a woman scorned is a terror no man should have to face."

Short, I know, but I felt like this would be a really good place to end this chapter. Please comment and vote if you feel like it.
