Into the Limo

You aren’t certain what happened, but on instinct you jump into the limo.

Gwen rasps. “Drive!”

The driver answers. “Where to Mistress?”

“Anywhere, away from here!”

The car begins to pull out.

Gwen looks angry. “That fucking bitch! That pustulant hellwhore!”

Her tirade continues and breaks into what sounds like swears in Aramaic and Latin. You are several miles away before the steady stream of expletives stops.

You interject. “What happened back there?”

“I didn’t think what she did was even possible! The bitch switched her soul with my demonic essence!”

Sandra chimes in. “Some sort of modified transference spell?”

“I think so.”

“Is that black magic?”

Sandra grimaces. “The blackest.”

You to Gwen. “You have a soul?”

She chuckles. “Don’t get your hopes up, Jack. I’m still a demon. She just stole my powers. Lucifer is, and will always be my master.”

“Then how do we trust you?”

“Silly boy. You can’t. If my Lord orders me to follow Alexa, I’ll gleefully betray you. That said, we’re all in great danger from her. Without a soul and with all that demonic essence in her, she’ll become a demon, likely a succubus. She’ll destroy your friends and then come after us. As for me, I want my powers back, **** on that witch, and my Lord usually stays out of petty squabbles.”

You look at Sandra. “Can we even reverse this?”

“I think so. I need to research it. It is a perversion of the natural order and most of those can be reversed.”

Gwen grins. “Good. Driver, take me to the old Mayor’s house. It will make a fine temporary lair.”

The limo pulls up to a nice house. Gwen walks to the front door and waves her hand, clearly expecting the door to open. She nearly walks into it.

She growls, as you find a key under the mat.

The three of you enter the house.

Gwen looks at Sandra. “There is a full occult library on the second floor. First door to your right. Let us know if we can help.”

Sandra scampers up the stairs leaving you with Gwen. She eyes you hungrily.

“You, Jack, are going to be such a stud once I fill your head with lust and desire for power, and your heart with darkness,”

“Even with a soul, that’s what you want?”

“I suppose it isn’t what I want right now...”
