The Incident

In the middle of the dry season.

(Elia)"The demons must all be removed from the land! We will save nature and all it's glorious creatures, we are righteous are you righteous?!"

Elia was doing her usual speech, it was the middle of the day. They were in a larger town, she gathered a huge crowd easily from rumors of her healing the sick and curing the blind. She spread her beliefs, and preached loudly in town. The town was about two thousand in population, with a diverse populace.

(Old man1)"We should go kill that demon."

(Old woman1)"Yes, she seduced my husband."

(Old woman2)"I hear she once touched a young boy."

The crowd wasn't listening to her anymore and realized they were in some spots but others were whispering about, it was odd but she continued.

(Elia)"We cannot turn a blind eye to Demons! We must drive them out by force, by taking action ourselves!"

Her speech set off a flame, and people were enraged at the demons. Some were hesitant in it all, even some tried to bizarrely stand on the demon's side the scene was becoming chaotic.

(Old man2"Yeah, let's get her!"

(Old woman3)"We should!"

(Elderly woman)"I will cut her horns off!"

Some left in a hurry, they were going in a certain direction and she didn't understand why. But kept preaching, people acted odd sometimes but this was certainly the wrong feeling. The group going over mainly consisted of older women and their husbands, the elderly men dismayed but were helpless knowing what was to come.

Screams and shouts filled the air, over where they came from. She stopped in confusion and her guards got close to her, the crowd that went over there was coming back, but they looked different. Some had blood on their hands, some had hatchets with hair and flesh attached a little.

They were horrifying for her to look at, a elderly woman was holding a horn in her hand, and a fat man with his wife was dragging something. They all watched silently as they came up to her, and the fat man put what he was dragging in front of her.

She screamed out in terror, and her guards pulled her in protecting her. It was a young girl's body, she had a horn cut off her head and both eyes gouged out with her face stuck in lifeless horror driven terror. Her previously good looking breasts were cut off by someone dangling, and her body was burnt all over.

She never saw a body with the dead plastic look it has, it was nothing like a person but doll-like. Her facial emotions stuck in permanent death horror, with anything sexually attractive cut apart like a dead animal.

(Older man3)"We killed the demon!"

(Elderly woman2)"That damn succubus tormenting us all!"

(Old woman4)"We should have murdered her years ago if it wasn't for you bastard men who stopped us!"

(Old man4)'Don't move ungrateful punk!"

(Old man5)"Show some respect, you little bastards!"

(Old man6)"I'm going to beat reality into you if you try me!"

The crowd that lynched the succubus was shouting at everyone else, the young men were enraged at it. While the older men who were married tried to intimidate them to bow down, and give up the fight. The elderly woman made up the majority of the crowd, they defiled her body after their husbands killed her. Chopping and burning it, one even cut off her horn.
