Confronting Hekate

Hecate marched into the room, unlacing her corset, as she had just stepped out of her boots. “Mirror child, your beautiful and kind mistress has returned home, hopefully you are in a better mood now. Let’s see how your new………” pausing as she notices Fidelisa sitting in a chair, before the mirror. “Amita Fidelisa, what are you doing here?”

The blue skinned woman looked to her, “well I just came to visit, my lovely little Hekate. Someone has to clean up after you, leaving clothing everywhere. And what did I find but the most interesting thing,” glancing to the egg.

Hecate blushed, stepping back a half step, “I’m sorry Amita Fidelisa, I’ll clean up, I promise.”

Fidelisa just laughed, “Of course you will dear, just like you have been telling me since you were a youngling. But what I would like to know is when you were going to introduce me to our dear Robbie? He seems like such a sweet boy, why have you been tormenting him?”

She stammered, “he’s a sacrifice, Lord Belphegor gave him to me, so I can do with the human as I see fit.”

She blinked her yellow eyes, tilting her head to the side, “yes, I see, but I see you are giving him the body worthy to be your child. That surprises me dearest.”

Hecate found herself again, “He’s my plaything, I can’t just have a pet with a fragile human body, they break so easily.”

Then Fidelisa sighed, “And did you promise him that you would let him go home?”

Hekate smirked, as she stepped towards them, “when SHE forms a pact with me after receiving HER new body, I plan to send HER back to HER realm to act as my agent.”

The woman blinked looking to her questioningly, “but he will have demon blood, a demon cannot live in the human realm anymore?”

Giggling, she shook her head, “That’s a old wives tale, we could exist in that world just as their souls can exist in ours. Besides she will only be a half demon, she will also be half human as Robbie would be her father.”

Fidelisa blinked looking to the floor for a moment, as she pondered what she was just told.

Her confidence fully restored, Hekate finished removing her corset to bare her firm breasts to the room, throwing the garment atop the pile of clothing that Fidelisa had gathered earlier. From the mirror, a quivering voice could be heard, questioningly, “Is that true?”

Fidelisa could only shake her head, as she continued to stare at the floor, “I don’t know dear. I’ve always been told it can’t be done, but Mistress Hekate would not lie to me, at least about something like that.”

Hekate strutted over to the pantry to grab a bottle of Ambrosia, pouring some into a glass as dropped into a chair across from them, relaxing and leaning back across one arm as her legs hung across the other side. Tilting her head to one side she stated, “So are you two done ganging up on me, your beautiful and kind mistress, who has been so kind as to humor your questions of my generosity. But don’t worry, I shall forgive you dearest Amita Fidelisa and my sweet soon to be daughter.”

The voice from the mirror chimed, “I’m not a girl, I’m a man, and a human”

Hekate frowned, glaring at the mirror, “Oh, you poor dear. Still clinging to your fragile humanity as if it means something here. Do you think being a man or human matters in my world? Soon, you'll see that your old self was nothing compared to what you'll become."

Fidelisa looked to her as if to object, but when Hekate flashed her a look, her eyes quickly cast to the floor again.

Hekate, then sighed, after having squashed their objections through her overwhelming will power. “Now then auntie, would you like to finish cleaning up here, or are you finished? After all I will not be staying up tonight after all the new body should be ready tomorrow afternoon, and I will have to transfer the soul and bind it to her body.” Taking a long sip of the wine, “but since you know of my new soon to be daughter, Amita Fidelisa, you can help teach her about adjusting to her new body.”

Fidelisa nodded rising from the chair as she reached over to gather the laundry, “I would be honored to aid you, Mistress.”

Robbie was quiet lost in thought of what his future seems destined to be, as Fidelisa finished straightening up around the house silently.

After finishing she then turning to the red skinned demoness resting in the chair, “Mistress, please have a wonderful night, and I apologize for my behavior earlier.”

Hekate, just waved a hand absently, as she continued drinking her rich liquor.

Then before leaving, the imp bowed before the mirror, “Don’t worry, Robbie, I will see you tomorrow, I promised I would be here for you and Aunty Fidelisa will never abandon her children.”

Robbie just whispered to her back as she slowly made her way to the door, “Thank you, Auntie Lisa.” A smile creeping across the woman’s face as her ears perked at hearing his acceptance of her.
