Some Answers

“So you can influence anyone you want?” I asked softly, my heart beating faster in anticipation.

_She just sighed, almost if she had been anticipating that question, “Yes, I can, and no, I will not help you fuck every woman in sight.” _Fair enough, there was enough in her voice that told me not to push the issue further, and I had some other questions I needed to ask, but before I could ask her anything, she continued speaking. “Of course, considering what I am, I will need sexual energy. Since our souls are well, binded, if I don’t get enough I’ll starve, which means you die.”

“Wait so, you’re that means if I don’t have enough sex… I die?”

“Pretty much,” She said with a small sigh, “Which means that we’re going to have to do it often, especially if we’re going to try to get rid of the spell. If you go out there without my help, looking for answers, it’s not going to end well for either of us.”

This was an interesting new revelation. Part of me was excited at the prospect of having a lot more sex, but another was terrified by the implications involved. Especially at how without her help, I’d basically be as good as dead.

“Okay, that's- a lot to take in,” I said after a few seconds, “So, whenever you ‘infleunce’ people or use your powers or whatever, you lose energy, and if you lose too much energy I die?”

“More or less.”

“Right, and the best way to get energy back is having sex?”

“Yep, pretty much any sexual activity works.”

“Right,” I said, trying to take all of it in, before another thought struck me, “Wait so… about what happened earlier with my mom and aunt, how much energy did that take?”

She paused for a few seconds, before continuing with an undertone of hesitation, “A fair bit, I hadn’t expected that I’d be… trapped here.”

“Oh.” I said, not really wanting to know any more than I needed to. I figured that it was best to let her stay in control when it came to that. I mean, she couldn’t exactly fuck me over, right? I was mulling her words over in my head, when I realized that in all the excitement, I never got her name.

“Fuck, well this sounds stupid considering how long we’ve been talking but, I uh, never got your name,” I asked her, wincing slightly.

“Of course you didn’t,” The succubus answered, with a tinge of amusement in her voice, “Well, Andreas, you can call me Julia.”

I didn’t know why, but I couldn’t help but chuckle, “Julia?”

“What’s wrong with Julia?”

“I dunno, it well, just doesn’t seem like a name for a Succubus.”

Julia stayed quiet for a few minutes, which made me wonder if I had somehow offended her. I wondered if I should offer an apology, but that might just make things worse. In the end, I decided to just stay silent and let her break the tension.

She spoke up a few minutes later, “We should probably talk to your friend, they might be able to help us.”

I looked at the clock, “It’s two in the morning,” I said, “She’ll probably be asleep right now.”

“Well, then wake her up,” Julia replied in exasperation, “The quicker we get started on this, the better.”

I tried protesting a little more, but she wouldn’t have any of it, and in the end I decided that it was a not a good idea to piss off the demon living in my head.
