6 Just the two of us

The next few days were spent in a haze. Lamia didn't let me sleep but drilled movements into my body. Shifting being one of them. I don't know how I stayed on my feet feeling so exhausted. We discovered that a lot of the aspects that the others had, I didn't. Wings were no where to be found. Lamia had also shared that this was her first time being a demon pair so we were both in un-treaded waters. On day two, we noticed that when Lamia took control, our eyes bled my icy blues. We both thought that this wasn't supposed to be possible but we were going to ask Lilith the next time we saw her. One day my eyes were fully black and the next I had two crescent moons of my icy blue peeking through. It was ominous more so than just them being black. After the whole situation with Mike, Lamia explained that she was unsure of what would happen. She thought that she would assume the control of the body but got stuck as being a spectator. She did become stronger but I was still able to take control whenever I wanted. During this time, me and Lamia did share stories, well Lamia shared stories. She already knew my story. She got a crash course in them as soon as she paired. It's one reason that she was silent for so long after me initially coming back. Absorbing my memories and emotions as her own was one reason that she was able to dispatch Mike so quickly. Before this, I had never really believed in this stuff but now it had been forced upon me and I had to believe in it. Demons are vilified but after hearing how Lamia became a demon pair, I sympathized with her. Her story was heart wrenching. Lamia used to be a Queen. She was chosen by Zeus (who I never thought was an actual real person) and he made her a mother. Lamia didn't know that Zeus had a wife but he did and that wife, Hera, was livid when she found out about it. She killed Lamia's children and cursed her beauty. Gone was the beautiful queen and in her shadow a monster emerged. Lamia said she wasn't innocent either after that happened. Hera was a God of family. Every family that Lamia destroyed took power away from Hera so she targeted them specifically avenging her children who had been innocent. Zeus, still loving her even when she lost her beauty, gave her shapeshifting abilities to escape Hera's wrath. Around the fall of ancient Greece, Lamia changed her appearance and went by Hecate. She made up her lineage and finally enacted her revenge on Hera by stealing some of her beauty and giving it away after she had destroyed so many families. Lamia found it hilarious. She was sent to Hell where she was introduced to the keepers, one of them being Lilith. "Lilith was impressed with me ya know" she said. "Oh continue please" I asked. I loved hearing her history. A time well gone, she remained. "I wish you could've seen Hera's face. She never knew who I was and when I flew up after being cleansed by the Cabeiri, I was more powerful than even she expected.". "So why'd you become a demon pair then?" I asked. "I got bored. After a while of having that much power, you get bored. Mentoring a new demon seemed like something new so here I am.". "Why me though you think?" "I don't know that either Mia. Maybe it's because our names are very similar.". "I need sleep Lamia.". "You've done well with training. A break is well deserved.". I took a shower reflecting on just how crazy my life had gotten in the past few weeks. I wrapped up in a towel not even bothering to put clothes on before laying on the bed and passing out. Opening my eyes, the ribbons of all colors encapsulated me again. I was no longer scared of this place. "Lilith?" I called out. "Ah you've come to visit me again. How lovely." Looking closer as Lilith she had a beauty that I didn't think was attainable. She was tall and curvy in all the right places. She had a round face that met perfectly at the chin and a small duchess nose. She had two dimples sitting on either side of her mouth and her eyes could encapsulate any beast that dared to stare into them. All of this tied together with long flowing black hair that complemented her olive skin tone. She matched more with an angel than a demon. "Lilith, why was Lamia paired with me?". "Mia, always such a curious one. You've surprised me daughter. You have far exceeded my expectations already." I was taken aback. "How have I done that?". "Mia, normally when humans go through transition such as you did, your humanity takes a back seat for a long time so that you can feed. You, sneaky girl, are hiding power somewhere. Lamia has had you up for how long now?" "A week Lilith." "Very curious. Your eyes are also not of the norm either Mia. Your humanity is bleeding through. That should've been lost during your transition." "What exactly was my transition?" "Oh poor thing, when Lamia sucked the soul out of that bastardly man, you accepted it. Some human souls don't even complete it. They fight the fire until they've burnt themselves out of existence and the body. Curious one you are indeed." she said moving her hand up and touching her chin. Eyeing me as if I was an oddity. "So most souls don't survive it is what you're saying?". "Well of course some do but not many that come from my lineage. The ones who do, normally take a backseat while the demon pair controls the body. I must admit. I was surprised you could even stand after that. There's more than one way to make a succubus Mia.". "Lilith, I really do not know what to do with this information." I said pinching my temple. All this did was confuse me more and make my head hurt. "What comes next then?" I asked. "Oh well you'll probably know as soon as you wake up!" Lilith replied, clapping her hands together in excitement. The pulling feeling began again and downward I went. When I opened my eyes a feeling hit me that I was all to familiar with. Between my legs pulsated with excitement. With this Lamia sprung to life. "It's time to feed.". My eyes grew large. "WHAT?". "Silly human. You have no need for food now. Your stomach will never grumble again. But this..... this is when we know we need to begin feeding.". "UGH, I do not like this.". "Mia get your ass up and let's get going. We'll get weak soon." I groaned back, "Where do I even go?" "Oh I have an idea. Let's follow those stringy things and see what happens. Look hot.". "So you can see them to?" I asked. Lamia replied, "In all my years, I have never seen anything like that. So yea let's start there.". I got ready and started to pull my makeup out when Lamia stopped me. "Allow me." she stated and you could see my face becoming younger, my waist thinner, my ass and boobs thicker, and even my hair had a light curl to it. "Thank you Lamia. I do not even recognize myself now." "That's a good thing. You don't want anyone knowing who you are. Pack a bag. After this feeding we are leaving.". I cleaned up any of my remaining blood in the house after getting ready and before heading out, I did as she said. I only packed necessities and before we hit town, I stopped and pulled all of the cash I had out of the bank. My cell phone I was going to keep so I could call family. I guess that trip excuse Mike had used would really be coming in handy now. Hopping in my civic, I felt sad that I was leaving my home behind. I would miss it but I knew it was for the best.
