The Succubus

Chapter 8

Nick POV:
Evan looked at me shocked, he recovered, "Why you laughing freak?"

My head lifted up, my eyes were dark as if a black fog had rolled in my head, my voice sounded as if two people were talking, "You think that he'll let you? You've got another thing coming. Once he's freed, he'll make you regret trying to hurt her...."

Evan looked at confused and scared, "W-what's up with your voice?"

Suddenly I knew the name of the sinister voice in my head, "I free you Vyn!"

Suddenly I felt power surge through me. I felt stronger than ever. I heard the sinister voice, Vyn, laugh about his new found freedom.

I yanked my arms out of the goons' grip and threw them into the wall, my voice was normal again, "I feel powerful thanks to you Vyn."

Evan stated shaking, "What are you?"

Vyn and I spoke through the same body, making our voices mingle into one, "Nick is simply a being of many souls, a vessel. I am the demon Vyn. Nice to finally meet the person who hurt my... Host. As I'm sure you're aware: demons don't play by human rules, so if I were you, I'd stop and leave."

Evan grabbed Luna and pulled the knife to her throat, "Take one more step towards me and I'll slice her open, I swear I will!"

Another chuckle erupted from deep inside of my chest, now it was only Vyn talking, "If you knew who you just threatened, you'd be begging for forgiveness. Only to receive none."

Evan started panicking, I smiled at his fearful expression. I suddenly disappeared from view everyone was looking around.

I taunted Evan, knowing that he wouldn't and couldn't hurt her, "Poor little Evan, scare of a loser like me... But I wonder: who's really in control of this body, hmm? Nick, or Vyn?"

Evan decided that it wasn't worth it and threw Luna to the ground and ran.... straight into the waiting arms of a police officer, whop slapped cuffs on him for bringing a knife to school. My body fell to the floor, next to Luna.

I reached out to her, "I did it, Luna.... I.... protected.... you...." I blacked out.....

Luna POV:
I rubbed where Evan's knife was on my neck, stupid mortal. Everyone was panicking, they were now scared of Nick, or should I say Vyn.... A paramedic rushed to me, when he saw that he was okay his attention turned to Nick: my savior, and Vyn: The demon that gave him the strength that he needed.

As they loaded him into the ambulance, I asked, "Can I go with him? He did save me after all...."

The paramedic nodded as he stitched up the stab wound in his stomach, which was already healing. The paramedic looked surprised, until he started reading what I can only assume to be his medical records. He let out a long whistle of being impressed.

I asked, pretending to not know what is going on, "What is it?"

The paramedic just looked amazed at what he just read, "According to this he should've died about twenty times over, if not more. He seems to have something strange in his DNA to allow him to almost have regenerative abilities."

I knew better, it was Vyn, he was keeping Nick alive. But who is this Vyn? If I go through the library in the Demon Realm, I might at least five a reference of him somewhere....

[Demon Realm]
I was searching through my dad's library when I heard him walk up to me.

I absent-mindedly responded, "Yes dad? What do you need?"

Father noted the tiredness in my voice, "What are you tiring yourself over Luna? Certainly it's not that difficult to get him to love you enough to follow you anywhere. Certainly you're not going to try and use demon magic, that's not how you treat a mate..."

I sighed, I needed sleep. When I almost fell asleep, dad caught me.

He chuckled, "Seems like my little princess is all tuckered out. But I wonder what she was trying to find....?"

Nick POV
[Dream Realm]
I was walking in a strange field, it seemed almost like a massive battle too place here. And when I finally came to the river, I noticed it was mostly blood instead of water.

I asked quietly, "What is this place?"

Then I heard Vyn, "This was where I was sealed in an urn. My final battle that took place million off years before the creation of the Mortal Realm that you call the universe. I was sealed by benevolent beings later called angels. And they tossed my urn into oblivion. When the Mortal Realm was created, I was sucked into it. Your parents found me when they went exploring the vast dark forest. They realized that they could make anyone they wanted practically immortal. So they used their ten year old son, Chris, your brother. What they failed to realize is that it had to be inside am infant child."

My eyes widened and, with my voice shaking, "Me?"

Vyn nodded, a smile stuck on his faces, "Yes, they had you and, after only two days of life, sealed me within you. They effectively made you immortal, without me, you would've died long ago. And without you, is be sitting in an urn absolutely bored out of my mind. So we're helping each other out: I keep you alive and you keep me entertained."

I shook my head, challenging him, "Why should I entertain you? You have no choice, if I die you go down with the ship. So to speak."

Vyn's smile didn't falter, instead it grew wider, "That's why I like you, you have the will to do what you feel is right when needed. Fine I'll play your little game. Even if you do die, your soul will just go into the urn with me and Chris. Then I'll really get to entertain myself with the two of you until someone seals us into someone else, if that happens. So, are you sure you're ready to pay the piece for a choice you couldn't fight?"

I stared, dumbfounded, was he really ready to spend as long as needed just to get back at my challenge?

Vyn laughed again, "Are you sure you want to risk that? I mean, really, you'd be dead without me. You owe me that much..."

I thought about everyone I was beaten half to hell, everytime that I had been hurt by fake people and wanted to end my life... Vyn was right, but I couldn't just listen to him....

Vyn asked, "Why not? You seemed just as happy to listen to us to help Luna."

I became flustered, "It... It was the right thing to do for her...."

Vyn smiled, "I know you love her, that will never change. But there are secrets that only accepting my gift of compete control of my powers will reveal...."

I stood up, "I will not bargain with you right now, I will only call upon you when needed. Only for defence, I'm not going to just attack anytime for your entertainment..."

With that I woke up....
