Another trip to the hot springs.

“Well, doesn’t someone look positively radiant today.” Kat remarked as Eliza came through the door. “You must have had a wonderful feeding session, didn’t you?”

“Actually…no.” Eliza couldn’t help but smirk as she spoke. “Not exactly anyway, let’s just say I’ve gotten some **** that’s been a long time coming.”

“Well, spill the beans darling.”

“Let me grab a bite to eat real quick.” Going to the fridge, Eliza grabbed something simple and sat down next to Kat. She then went into great detail about what had happened; about getting ****, tied up, getting…tortured, and about how she flipped the script.

“And you just left her like that? And you called her the sadistic one.” Kat said, sarcasm laced into her response.

“Hey, she got what was coming to her. You…don’t happen to know how long the two would be knocked out for, do you?” She paused for a moment, thinking it over before answering.

“Considering everything, I would say it would last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes or so.”

“Oh, I see.” Now Eliza did kinda feel bad for leaving her like that, but the sympathy didn’t last long. “Right, about that, I wanted to ask you something. When I broke free and took control, Heather said something about my eyes, and when I looked I had demon eyes like yours. Is that normal? I mean, cause they disappeared shortly afterwards, is that how it happens?” Kat raised an eyebrow, a slightly surprised, slightly intrigued look on her face.

“It’s not unheard of I suppose. If I had to guess, the stress of the situation caused your Mystic powers to flare up. That’s very interesting.” Kat said, the last part more to herself, which made Eliza slightly nervous.

“That sounds…ominous.”

“Don’t worry darling, I would never put you in any kind of danger.” Kat said, getting up, her tone having the slightest tinge of sarcasm to it. Eliza was slightly unsettled by her response, though those thoughts were interrupted as Kat’s skin began to transform from her demonic red to her pale human form.

“Where are you going? Off to feed?” Eliza found herself asking without giving it a thought. How easily it came off her tongue felt slightly weird to her.

“Nope, to work. Even a succubus needs to be paid.”

“You work at a strip club, that might as well be feeding.”

“Perhaps, but that’s what makes it a perfect job. You should really try it sometime.” Eliza was given a small smirk as Kat put on an over the top, much too fluffy coat and went for the door. She got as far as grabbing the handle before turning back. “Speaking of which, next Friday is amateur night. You should consider trying it out, I’m sure they’ll eat you up.”

“Yeah, yeah, sure. I’ll think about it.” Eliza said dismissively, more or less blowing her off. Kat responded by rolling her eyes as she walked out the door. With her roommate up and gone, Eliza thought about what she wanted to do for the rest of the day. She could putts around her room on her phone or computer, which is what she would normally do in the evening, but an overwhelming urge was rising up. It wasn’t the normal urge either, though that was still there ever so faintly. No, what she was feeling now was an urge to grow her powers more, to go back to the hot springs and train more. Right before they left Eliza had a breakthrough with her powers, and it's all she could think about. If she worked at it more she knew it was only a matter of time before she got it fully, and that thought excited her.

A couple hours passed as Eliza waited for around dusk to head out. Kat was still gone at her job and, knowing her, probably would be going home with some other bloke anyway, so Eliza was going to be alone this time. She almost preferred it this way, plus it wasn’t like Kat had done anything other than nap the entire time anyway.

It wasn’t long before she made it to the front of The Oasis, it blacked out for the night like it was before. Eliza extended her aura into the door and with a click, unlocked it as easily as Kat had done. Walking straight to the back again, she realized she could use the actual changing rooms to undress. She ultimately decided it was unwarranted though, as she was all alone anyway so why bother? Besides, something about undressing in the open air sent a chill down her spine, a small thrill that deep down she kinda liked. What she also didn’t do was bring a swimsuit, deciding to go fully nude for similar reasons.

Once undressed Eliza waded into the cozy spring water, only relishing in the warmth for a moment before starting up her training once more. The cycle from the night before continued as Eliza tried to perfect her aura control. Pooling the aura around her hands gave her the basis for her new angle of attack, using that as a baseline to go off of. An hour of this passed with Eliza having some success, but not fully satisfied with the results.

During one of her longer successful sessions, Eliza could hear a faint, garbled noise in the distance. In instinct Eliza jerked up, scanning the area around her. No one was there…yet, but the distinct sound of rustling made her anxiety skyrocket. Not only was she trespassing but she was also butt naked, things could only go badly if she was seen.
