Succubus and Incubus

Chapter 1

Callypso

They say that everything happens for a reason. But, here I stand today, a typical college girl, thinking about everything that has happened to me over the years trying to understand. I'm right here sitting in the classroom. Do you see that freak sitting in the last row? Not the one with the blue hair. That's Farah Widows. The other one sitting by the window. The lonely one. Yes, this is me. My name is Calypso Eldrich. Well that wouldn't be my last name if things were different. The Eldrichs adopted me when I was a couple of weeks old and I've never met my biological parents. I don't blame them though. I know they wanted the best for me. And believe me, they would never find any one better. My parents have raised me with love, taught me to be moral.

My father, Lucian Eldrich, is 47 years old, with blond hair and deep green eyes. He works as a neurosurgeon. That's what he wanted to do ever since he was a little child. He wanted to be a doctor to help people. His soul is so pure that sometimes he seems naive and easy to be taken advantage of by others. But he is smart enough to know when he's manipulated. He treats me and my mother with love and care. Even though sometimes he is pretty tired and angry, he has never spoken rudely to us.

My mother, Moira Eldrich, is a 43-year-old woman who was born in Germany. At the age of 20 she came to London to study and be a psychiatrist. That's when she met my dad. But, at that time she was already engaged with Lieutenant General Armin von Ermannsdorff. She didn't want him though. But she had convinced herself to make this marriage work. She had learn not to disobey her parents. But, after a few months she met my dad. At first they were friends. But after a year of hanging out they fell in love and it was difficult for her to pretend that she wanted to be with Armin. So she talked to her parents. They haven't spoken to her ever since. I don't even know their names. Today, mom is working as a psychiatrist for kids and teenagers. With her brown hair and eyes, her small nose and thin lips, I believe she is the most elegant woman I've ever seen.

Looking at them, you can easily see that I look nothing like them. Just look at me. Black straight hair, enormous cyan eyes, red lips and white skin complexion, I look like a vampire or a demon. Sometimes I wonder why I don't have fangs. Well, of course I don't believe they exist, but if they did, I would be a perfect example. Sometimes I think that-

"Ms Eldrich, can you repeat my last sentence, just to show the class you were paying attention?" the teacher said and the whole classroom turned to face me

"No Mr Canham, I can't."

"Strike one Ms Eldrich" he threatened me

Ashole!! Anyway, what was I saying. Oh yes. Sometimes I think that my biological parents are the complete opposite from the Eldrichs. Not only in appearance. You know, mom and dad have studied a lot to be what they are now, both doctors. Me, on the other hand, I am more artistic. That's why I am here, in the Royal College of Music taking vocal and violin lessons. I love all the lessons and professors, except the one I'm sitting now. The History of Music and Mr Canham. And since we are at that point, let me tell you a little something about the people in this classroom.

Ervin Canham is my H.M. teacher. I hate him. He must be the most hated person in the college. From both teachers and students. Since his wife died he was all around his daughter, making her the most spoiled girl I've ever met.

Now, lets turn around and face the class. Do you see those girly girls in the front row. Those are the most vicious people I've ever met. The blonde one, covered in pink and glitter is Tabitha Canham , Mr Canham daughter. I have the 'honor' to have vocal lessons with her. She doesn't even have talent. I'm not saying she doesn't have a good voice. She has. But not good enough for RCM. I bet she got accepted because of her father. The girl on her right, covered in blue, is Melissa White. Kind of an irony cause, as you see, her skin complexion is quite dark. She takes vocal and flute lessons. She is one of the best flutists in her class. Her teacher thinks that, although she is a freshman, he must put her in a most advanced program, and even though I hate her, I think he is right. As a singer though... She is terrible. On Tabitha's left we have Ginger Ferafowler. She is covered in red, matching her ginger hair. She is the nice one in this hole of vicious snakes and a wonderful pianist. I think that if she wasn't so loyal to 'the queen of mean' I could hang out with her. 

Behind them we have the two nerds in our class. Don't get me wrong, I like those guys. They're pretty cool to me. I know them very well cause one of them is my boyfriend. So let me start with him. He is sitting behind Ginger. His name is Harry Finster. He is the Fantacy Figurine Expert. I mean, you must see his collection. It is awesome. He is very attractive, but all the 'cool' kids never admit it. He is tall, his blond hair are soft like silk, he has the most honest and warm brown eyes I've seen and he is a really good kisser. He may not have the body of a football player, but I like him cause he doesn't pretend to be some one else. We've been together for two years. Next to him is his best friend TT. TT (Tim Tomson) is a computer master. I like him so much and he has a great sense of humor. Next to TT and in front of me we have my best friend, Miyoshi Sakakibara. Her parents are from Japan and we've been best friends since fifth grade. I love her so much. I don't know what I would.have done.without her.

On the last row we have me and Farah Widows. You know, the blue haired girl. She is a goth and a satanist. She is not a bad person, and I think that we could have been great friends, since we have the same style, same taste in music we think the same way. But she keeps looking at me weirdly and it kinda freaks me out. I know, we're not a big class but-

The bell made me stop thinking. I heard Mr Canham say something about an essay but I didn't pay much attention. I stood up and walked outside the classroom. Miyoshi, Harry and TT were waiting for me. Harry hugged me and gave me a tender kiss.

"Hey beautiful" he whispered

"Hi Harry, hey all" I said

"So what were you thinking during class when Mr Canham-"

"I don't wanna talk about it, really" I cut Miyoshi off

"Ok, ok.. Don't bite. Hey, since today is Friday, why don't you all come to my place?" Miyoshi continued

"That's a great idea Miyo. Maybe now I can fix your computer"

"Oh, yes TT, that would be awesome. If you do that I will love you forever"

"So what do you say Callypso? Will you come?" Harry asked me.

"You know what. I have to do something with my parents first. I'll come later. Ok?"

"Ok, we'll wait" TT smiled at me

"Bye guys" I waved and turned away.

I lied to them. Now one knows where I'm going every Friday afternoon. I just can't tell them that I am going to a psychiatrist. Thank god it's close to my school and I can walk there. His name is Jonathan Piers. I've been visiting Dr Piers since I was nine. He knows me better than anyone and I'm glad I can talk to him.

I was already outside his office and I knocked. As he opened the door he smiled at me and gestured to come in. I walked inside and he closed the door

"So, how are you today Callypso?"

Well there's. something else you have to know about me.

"Well Mr Piers..."

You see I may have a boyfriend...

"...I dreamed about him again"

...but every night I'm dreaming of someone else
