Phantom
Jumping up instantly Aria forced me to look into her eyes and opening her wings up to block my view of the unicorn. My mind cleared slightly enough to talk but leaving the auction was not happening.
"Aria I don't know what just..." I mumbled trying to understand what was happening to me.
"It's okay dear. Lilith I suggest you start bidding on that unicorn." Without arguing Lilith grabbed the platinum paddel raising it to get the the hosts attention.
"Whats happening?" I mumbled again the fuzziness in my mind turning into a headache. Besides me Lilith perked up laughing slightly.
"Well this explains a question I've been thinking about." Looking at her confused Aria piped in.
"It's said that a unicorn lives in constant hiding as everything wants to claim it for themselves because their horns are used in many black magic and as symbols of purity more so than an angel. So they developed a method to protect themselves..." Aria went silent as Lilith continued.
"They seek leviathans to protect them."
"But... Groan. Why a leviathan? We're not good creatures."
"You said it yourself master back with the princess. You don't participate in wars and keep to yourself. Now imagine a creature hunted just as much as you are but unable to fight back. Wouldn't you be the perfect mate for her?"
"But still, I could be a complete asshole and your saying she'd still stay by me?"
"No dear I think it's more about her horn and value. As a leviathan you should want to claim her for yourself and not try to sell her horn or herself a sad fate if one must sell themselves just to remain whole but we shall ask her when we win this bet otherwise I feel like I'm going to be filling you with false information." Aria placed her hands on my snappers pulling them into her chest, covering them with her wings. Unable to fade them back this was the best way to hide them while allowing me to see the unicorn.
Her eyes instantly locked onto mine as her horn started glowing brighter, I didn't need either of the girls to tell me my eyes were matching her glow as more pressure was applied to my head.
In the background I could faintly hear the bids reaching 400 gold, Lilith betting again and again her gaze darting between the stage and myself worry plastered on her face.
All of a sudden the unicorns horn stopped glowing and with it my headache, as a reflex I fadded my snappers and horns watching the unicorn as a smile reached her face.
"Seems she found you." Aria grumbled grabbing onto me and snarling in the direction of the stage.
"And sold for 479 gold to booth 8." The peacock woman yelled pointing at us while a few men moved onto the stage to drag off the unicorn who managed to bow to us before we couldn't see her any more.
Lilith sighed placing the paddle down.
"If she wasn't so rare I wouldn't have done this." I looked at her with I smirk but only got an eye roll in return.
"So what now?" I asked Aria pulling her in closer and kissing her forehead trying to tell her everythings okay.
"Someone will come and bring us to a back area where we can trade the gold for her and hopefully get out without anyone else that was interested in her knowing." Lilith got up closing the curtain in our booth before prying us apart.
"Come on Aria if someone sees you clinging to master like that they'll know we were lying."
"How are you so calm Lilith? You should be fuming that he's going to be taking another mate." Liliths gaze become hostile as she looked at the pouting angel.
"Aria master will not be taking her as a mate without mine and your say so even if that means I have to carve out her heart myself, but he's a leviathan they create harem by nature so I will give her a chance just like I gave you and will give the mermaid if she puts one of those collars on but they will only be getting one chance." Nodding and pulling away from me Aria wiped a tear from her eye.
"Dam I'm getting advice about my relationship from a succubus but thank you Lilith and dear promise you won't take her without our permission?"
"Promise you'll tear out her heart if she does whatever she did before?" I replied trying to lighten the mood.
"She won't get the chance." Aria said with the scariest smile I've ever seen on her face.
"Thank god she's on our side." Lilith muttered. I was about to agree with her when the door to our booth opened and Steven walked in.
"Aria it was you that bought the unicorn." He bit his lip ever so slightly before continuing.
"Now if you'll come with me." Turning around he started walking towards a back door looking back just to make sure we were following. We did in silence.
Passing a few doors on our way I noticed a few eyes glaring at us presumably from others who failed to out bid us.
Opening a seemingly random door Steven ushered us inside closing it behind us. Inside was a small room filled with 5 other men presumably guards and the peacock dressed women standing in the middle, the unicorn stood to the side a faint black blob with a few tenticles rested on her back.
A faint clicking sound was heard as blue lines starting tracing the walls creating a bubble I didn't recognise.
"You guys didn't waste any time springing this trap do you." Aria snarked towards the men. I looked around confused for a second till Lilith explained the bubble seemed to have destroyed her illusion.
"Master they appear to be using the unicorn to find rich people and from the look of this binding spell they aim to kill us and take what they can."
"Very perspective of you succubus but your wrong, we don't want to kill you because you and that angel are useful to us." The peacock woman replied sauntering towards us. I dropped the chest and stood in front of my girls preparing for a fight.
"Unfortunately you ain't." Saying these words she threw a punch directly into my stomach breaking a few of my ribs. I staggered back stunned slightly. How is she that strong and fast?
My regeneration kicked into gear and before I'd even taken 3 steps backwards my ribs were repaired.
"That was a mistake." I growled flexing my arms slightly.
"You are quite sturdy it seems but I could have sworn I broke something important of yours." Peacock woman mumbled.
"Kill them all!" The unicorn yelled her horn starting to glow. Lilith and Aria cursed under their breath as my vision changed.
I saw red.
Bolting forward my snappers unfadded taking a chunk out of peacock womans hip as I passed my hands grabbing the throat of the nearest guard crushing it instantly. He tried to breathe so I pulled out his heart giving him a quick death.
"Shit what is he?" One of the guards cried drawing his sword.
"Forgot about us already?" Lilith smirked a thin purple wispy line connecting her to him.
"Would you mind killing your friends for little old me." Moving slightly roboticly he slashed his sword into the guard beside him.
Didn't know she had a charm ability, before I could comment the anger returned blinding me of anything but killing everyone standing. Letting out a roar I dashed towards the next guard knocking his sword away before pulling his arms from there sockets. My snappers bit into his neck as my attention switched to the next guard who was cowering in the corner.
His fear seeped into me cracking an orb in the back of my mind I didn't care, as I walked towards him drool and blood dripping from my snappers accompanying the glow from my eyes. Wait my eyes don't glow why are they doing it now? This isn't right. Stopping in front of the last guard I froze the anger pressed into my mind harder, pushy... Fake.
"Ahhhhhh."
"Master!"
Turning quickly I found peacock lady's lips locked onto the left side of Arias neck sucking with Lilith up against the wall her right leg twisted unnaturally.
Vampire.
Aria struggled in her grip but her strength was fading quickly.
Sending one of my snappers through the chest of the guy behind me I threw a fireball at the vampire coating both her and Aria in flames.
No Arias my mate why am I hurting her?
Both girls screamed as the fire engulfed them the vampire throwing the angel into the wall beside Lilith.
Charging at each other we collided in a mass of punches each one carrying the weight to kill a normal man as my regeneration went up against her vamperic healing, the burnt skin slowly peeling off her body being replaced with new skin. I resisted the urge to vomit applying more flames to my snappers both turning into flamethrowers. She screamed trying to put some distance but it was to late her knees shattered the blood she drained from Aria not enough to heal the wounds I'd inflicted.
"Burn in hell." I spat thrusting my hand through her back and crushing her heart not bothering to consume it. My flamethrowers stopped as her body turned to Ash, the anger in my mind not demonising.
'Now the succubus.' My gaze found Lilith.
Wait no Liliths mine I don't want to kill her.
My hand raised pointing at my succubus a flame starting to burn at the tip.
What am I doing?
'Getting rid of the weak.' This voice feminine and soft seemed to bounce around my head amplifying my anger. Red filled my vision like a thick miasma.
'Wait!' Liliths wispy line connected to me almost paralysing my body.
Charmed. The words seemed to pop into my head, but I can't be charmed my mental protection should stop it.
'Kill the succubus.' That voice again.
'Master it's me just focus on my voice don't listen to anything else.'
Lilith but how are you in my mind?
'Silence wench kill her leviathan.'
'Master remember me I'm Lilith your slave I need you to remember me.'
Of course I remember you your my first slave.
'Shut up kill her now.'
'Hey master what are you gonna do to punish me, I've been a bad girl.'
The miasma around my eyes started to clear. Punishment? Yes punish Lilith, make her cum.
'No! Make her bleed not cum.'
'Oooooh master what are you gonna use to make me cum?'
Fingers maybe? Perhaps my mouth again or maybe my snappers, let them play with her nipples see if she wants to kiss them.
'No! Bite her, tear off her head make her scream.'
'Master make me scream, force me to scream your name all night.'
Yessssss can Aria join?
'No kill them don't play with them.'
'Of course master we can't let her just watch now can we?'
Fluffy angel and sexy succubus now that's something I can get behind, or on top of.
'No you moron kill the weaklings.'
'To late phantom.'
What?
The red miasma cleared from my head and with it Liliths charm effect, I could move and see again but regret hit me instantly.
Lilith was trying to raise herself from the wall her leg still twisted and a faint pool of blood forming around her but as I made a move towards her she waved her hand pointing to where Aria stood beside the unicorn her usual white features stained black with Ash and burn marks. A sword stabbed into the wriggling pile of tenticles beside her as she'd managed to get it off the unicorn and onto the floor.
"Dear help me kill this thing." She cried her voice lost all its vitality sounding dry.
Without waiting I ran to her catching her as she fell letting my snappers tear apart whatever was left of the phantom till it stopped moving then burning it just to be sure.
"Aria I'm so sorry I didn't mean to..."
"Hush dear I know." She replied resting her head against my chest both of our clothes completely destroyed not that we were in any state to care.
Beside us the unicorn had fainted on the floor a nasty collection of scars running down both her human and horse back.
Lilith limped over grabbing my shoulders for support so I wrapped a snapper around her waist just to help her stand.
"Not how this was soppose to go." The succubus grumbled both of us watching Arias body heal slowly as I brushed some ash from Arias face. We stayed silent for a while just waiting in the darkness of the auction house for Aria to recover neither one feeling like talking.
