After spending what seemed to
be an endlessness bout of eavesdropping on a subterranean party; the pairâ??s
door finally opened as the full moon shone brightly through the roomâ??s window.
They were greeted by a dark haired woman with very sharp features, alluring
body and black tight clothing to match. The new woman looked at the doctor and
his companion with a sly smile on her face while checking them both out as she
walked in a circle around the two. Aliâ??s right slowly reached toward the handle
of his blade as Isabelle tried her best to remain calm; they both knew
something was different about this woman.
â??Whoâ?¦ Who are you!?â?
Isabelle asked the firmness in her voice did a great job of hiding her fear as
the French woman flicked her wrists to expose her blades. â??I was sent by the oneâ??s from the
Sanctuaryâ?¦ Toâ?¦ Ahâ?¦â? The new womanâ??s voice was as smooth as glass when
she spoke to Theroux; the French woman felt slightly turned on by the sound,
which caused the agent to smile slyly again. â??â?¦ To help the two of you get
there.â? The agent laughed marginally when she turned to Santiago and
brushed her hand on his cheek. Ali made a husky grunting noise as the new
womanâ??s lithe fingers slid down his jaw and he too found himself attracted to
their recovery specialist.
Isabelle was shocked to find
that Aliâ??s hand had fallen away from the handle of blade and the doctor relaxed
a bit more while their new acquaintance opened the curtains of the room. Santiago
found himself in a terrible predicament as he fell to the floor while clutching
his stomach and began to groan in pain. Isabelle wondered what was happening to
her guardian when she realised that the full moon was in effect and he was
beginning to turn, which always frightened Theroux, but to add to the stress;
there was also a new person in their presence that was now closing in on the
Spanish vampire. The new woman laughed again and spoke to both of them as
Isabelle went to aid Ali.
â??Waitâ?¦ This isnâ??t a joke is it,
doc?â? Isabelle asked as she noticed that Aliâ??s skin began to pale out
and she could hear the sound of something clicking in his mouth as Santiago
replied. â??Of course it isnâ??t!â? Ali reassured her as his words became
harder to understand and he began to try restraining himself from Isabelle. â??Noâ?¦
When was the last time you ate?â? Theroux questioned the doctor as she
got up and slowly backed away from her boyfriend.
â??I found this nice Italian restaurant
on my way overâ?¦ Almost got kicked out for eating the entire menu in one sitt---
ARGH!â? Ali got back up to his feet and began staggering towards
Isabelle. It seemed that the doctorâ??s attention was solely focused on her and
not on the other woman in the room, who was now smiling at the situation that
had transpired in the small derelict apartment room.
â??See this is easyâ?¦ You, doctorâ?¦
Youâ??re going to be in a lot of pain since youâ??re going through theâ?¦ yâ??know.â?
Santiagoâ??s grunting of protest finished the rest of her thought when she turned
her attention to Isabelle. â??And you? Who needs you anyway? Youâ??re not
even worthy of enslavement, human.â? The unknown womanâ??s words were
scalding but Isabelle didnâ??t want to show weakness in front of the only person
she trusted. The other womanâ?¦ Something
isnâ??t right. Kill her, Isabelle! Ali thought as the agent turned to Ali and
began making out with him. While the bass of the underground party vibrated
through the floor; Isabelle saw that the vampire and his new suitor did not
make physical contact. The French woman noticed an ethereal substance passing
between the two; a red smoke escaped from the doctorâ??s lips as Aliâ??s body began
to weaken in its rage containment and went into the new womanâ??s mouth and her
stature became stronger. Thatâ??s when it made sense to Isabelleâ?¦
Weâ??re dealing with a succubus. Arenâ??t we?
The new woman, who was now fuelled
by Aliâ??s blood lust, turned her attention to Isabelle. â??Your boyfriend was really tasty,
like caramel filled cannoliesâ?¦â? The succubus commented as she closed
the gap between her and Theroux in the blink of an eye. On instinct, the
brunette drove her daggers into the assailantâ??s stomach which produced a shriek
from the succubus. â??Wellâ?¦ That was easyâ?¦â? Isabelle thought out loud as she smiled
while twisting her blades in the womanâ??s stomach but their joy was short lived
as the succubus inhaled and began draining Theroux of her life force, as the
blue mist was being exhumed from her lips. â??What do I do, Ali?!â? Theroux
hollered to the vampire, who growled with ragged breathing when his name was
called.
â??Heâ??s too weak, Frenchie. Doctor
Santiago canâ??t help you now!â? The succubus laughed which caused
Isabelle to drag her blades up from the succubusâ?? stomach up to the base of her
ribcage. â??Pourquoi ne pas mourir?!â? As the sound of flesh being ripped
punctuated the sound of the throbbing bass, Isabelle kicked the succubus away from
her and toward the window while running back to Aliâ??s side. There was now a trail of blood that was splattered
across the floor along with the frightened human woman and the paralysed vampire.
The succubus roared at the young woman as the wound closed up and she charged
at Isabelle again.
â??You are rather tasty, Frenchieâ?¦
Strawberry tiramisu, and guess what?â? The succubus questioned as
Theroux slashed the attackerâ??s throat open and the blood sprayed onto the walls
as she wrapped her hands around Isabelleâ??s throat and began to apply slight
pressure. â??I. WANT. MORE!â? The succubus shrieked in excitement as she
began draining Isabelle of the rest of her soul. The French woman kept trying
to stab her attacker, creating a seemingly endless fountain of blood that began
to cover the room but she could feel her body giving up as one of her final
stabs came and went.
Iâ??m so sorry, Ali. I triedâ?¦ Isabelle thought as the faint sound of a hammer being
cocked rang through her ears.
With a deafening bang, the
succubusâ??s head exploded into a mass of red and black viscera as if it was the
icing on the blood room cake. The body fell to the floor as Isabelle regained consciousness
almost immediately and began inhaling as deep as she could. Theroux noticed that
Ali was standing with a smirk on his face as he put his magnum away as Isabelle
ran to him for a hug. Theroux found that Santiago was on his last legs as he
almost collapsed into the hug. Ali pulled out a handkerchief from a jacket
pocket and tried to give it to his girlfriend who took it and in one big swipe;
the blood from her face wound up on the handkerchief.
â??When was the last time you fed, Ali?â?
Isabelle questioned as she hugged him tighter and the pair slowly made their
way to sitting on the floor. â??Itâ??sâ?¦ Been about a yearâ?¦ Creo, Isabelle?â?
He answered with a harsh cough and he began to break out into a cold sweat. Isabelle
panicked and rolled up her sleeve while offering herself to him.
â??No puedo Izzyâ?¦ Usted es bastante
débil como esâ?¦â? Ali turned away from his girlfriend as she tried
desperately to get him to eat as the door opened once again.
