Chapter 2
by LukeMason
Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?
Female (heterosexual)
Sorry about that previous page. Anyway, your name is Tara Reinber. Twenty years old, college student. Your roommate is named Naomi Ramirez. Now that the introductions are done, let's get into the actual story...
"Taerius, you seemed disturbed," Xiq whispered softly. "Is there something amiss?"
Taerius focused on one of his clawed fingers, making it glow a pale orange. He touched the wall with his glowing claw to stop the lava flow before turning back to Xiq. "The same as the last time you asked. I cannot stop thinking about the humans."
Xiq audibly snorted in contempt. "I will never understand your fascination with humans. They represent all the worst traits a being can possess. Idiotic. Self-centered. Perverted. Malicious. Pathetic."
A gleam appeared in Taerius's metallic eye. "I would wager that humans are far greater than you give them credit for."
Xiq was skeptical, but if she had one fatal flaw, she would admit it was her inability to resist a challenge. "Very well. Convince me, however you see fit."
You are in the bathroom in your dorm. As you finish washing your hands, you hear a voice behind you. "Afternoon."
The voice, although different from any you've ever heard, is clearly male, and you instantly tense upon hearing the voice.
You turn to see the voice's origin. A tall figure whose rough gray skin looks to be made of some sort of crushed rock. The pattern overall reminds you more of a paper bag. His eyes are also grey, but far brighter and more silver, with no pupils. His mouth is stretched in a smile wider than his face.
"Were you watching me use the bathroom?" you immediately demand.
"Huh," he says. "Haven't heard that one before. Usually it's screams, 'What are you's, or silence, with the occasional person telling me they're my master. But, no, I wasn't watching you. Anyway, let me introduce myself. I'm Taerius, and I'm a demon. What's your name?"
"Tara. Tara Reinber," you reply uneasily. "What do you want with me?"
"Well, Tara-Tara Reinber," the demon jokes. He snaps his clawed fingers and a chair appears in a burst of flame. He sits down. "I'd like to make a deal with you. How would you like supernatural powers?"
You slide yourself onto the counter and take a seat there. "I don't make deals like that without knowing all the details." Law major.
"Ah, a safe answer. Not a definite yes, not a definite no. So here's the deal," Taerius says. "I'll give you supernatural powers, powers not normally available to humans. You'll only have one power at a time, but it'll change every seventy-two hours. Now here's the catch, because of course there's a catch." He stands up and approaches you. "You keep each power for three Earth days. During that time, you must use each power in a perverted way."
"Excuse me?"
"Question time! What is your age, sex, and sexual orientation?"
You don't want to change the subject, but you go along and answer the question. "Twenty. Female. Straight. Can you explain?"
"I'm working on it. So, if you're female and straight, that means you're into men. Men will be your target when I give you your powers. These men will have to be close to your age - let's make it anywhere from seventeen to twenty-six. Every power you get, you'll have three days to use pervertedly. Focusing on the rears and genitals of the men in the appropriate age range. You will have to use your power to freely see, touch, or taste either of these body parts or the undergarments that cover them. If you choose the 'see' option, you must take and keep a photograph. Alternatively, you can get them to touch you in a decidedly sensual way. No matter what, you must do this without getting caught and in such a way that it could not be done without the use of your powers."
"And if I don't?"
"Well, there's two answers to that. If you lose your powers without ever using them pervertedly, I will consume your soul. If you get caught, I will consume your soul. If you decide right now that you don't want to take my deal, I'll go find someone else."
You don't have a clue exactly what your soul being consumed would mean. But still... Supernatural powers do intrigue you.
"It's a deal."
Taerius claps his hands together. "Perfect. Here's a magic book and key." With another snap of his fingers, a book and a key appeared in the demon's hands. "Use the key to open the book. Read from the book every three days so you know what power you have. See you later."
The demon and his chair vanish in yet another burst of flames. You pick up the book and touch the key to it. The book flies open instantly. You look at the words at the top of the page.
What does it say?
