Alexis checks on Hekate

The next morning Alexis woke to noise coming from outside of room, rubbing her eyes she slipped from beneath the sheets and blanket. Her bare feet sinking into the deep rug that covered the center of the hardwood floor of the room. She stretched as the long silk shirt clung to her figure, offering a final yawn before making her way to the door of her room.

There sitting in the middle of the floor was Hekate, dressed only in a black, silk robe, and surrounded by ancient leather bound tomes. She was flipping through the yellowed pages of one volume only pausing to scribble something on a notepad in her lap. Soft muttering could be heard escaping her lips at times verily audible, “Damn it, here too, how long has this bastard been hunting us.”

Alexis slowly crept towards her, nibbling at her lower lip, as she hugged herself, “Mistress Hekate?” she softly called.

The succubus paused at the calling of her name, blinking, as she stared forward still have lost in thought.

Alexis took another step closer, taking a deep breath, “Mistress Hekate, are you okay?”

At that, Hekate shook free of her trance, glancing over to her daughter who was nervously approaching her. “Alexis, good you’re up, I’ve been waiting for you. We have no time to lose, we need to get you stronger, and we won’t be able to play with kid gloves any longer. There is danger out there, and if you really expect me to allow you to go to the Mortal Realm, I will not let you go unprepared. Especially with that monster out there.”

Alexis froze, blinking, “danger…. Mortal Realm….. Monster?” a shiver running along her spine. “Did something happen on Earth? Is everyone okay? What about….. what about….” her lower lip quivering as thoughts of all those she left behind when she was murdered rushed though her head. What were they thinking? Were they still looking for her? Did they even really care that she disappeared?

Hekate leapt to her feet, quickly approaching the young woman. “There is a traitor to the demon legacy hunting pact holders, demons and anyone else he sees as a sinner. A monster that has been lurking for centuries among them.” Grabbing her by the shoulders, lifting her from the floor so they were at eye level. Those lavender orbs burned with an intensity that bore into her very soul. “We must go ahead and form a pact, it is the only way for you to have hope to grow stronger fast enough. It is the only way I can protect you.”

Alexis shifted nervously in the grip of the demon, as her bare feet dangled inches from the floor, her mind racing, what should she do? What if she angers her? Maybe it’s just better to submit? No, no she means it would be better if she just agrees? After all if that would make her happy, why should she say no. Slowly she nodded her head, and she heard the “okay?” slip from her own parted lips.

Hekate beamed hearing that pulling her into a firm embrace, her breasts smashing against the firm orbs of the demoness. “I knew you would agree, dear.”
