He was drunk, so of course it seemed like a good idea.

Lochlann Cabyll-Each was standing at the top of the ballroom stairs in the dark. His dark hair was mussed and still-damp, the t-shirt he was wearing was a size too small and clinging desperately to his body, and he wasn't wearing shoes. When he walked, the echo of his footsteps sounded like the clop of hooves.

He was holding a half-empty bottle of whiskey in one hand and a lighter in the other, flicking the edge with his thumb and cursing under his breath. By the time he produced a flame and got the candles lit, it was time to begin.

He was drunk, so of course it seemed like a good idea.

Starlight Academy has a vast library with a multitude of books for students to use for educational purposes. A true summoner would know the proper way to lay out the sigils, if he or she even needed them, the right candles, the right chants.They would know that his blood was wrong.

Lochlann was not a summoner. Lochlann wasn't even human.

He was a water horse, a Cabyll-Each, a kelpie. And he was drunk,so of course this seemed like a good idea.

He took a razor blade from his pocket and clumsily cut across his wrist and he poured the blood across the floor, smearing the sigils with his other, trembling hand. he dumped some of the whisky across his cut, gasping at the sting, but another sip from the same bottle dulled the pain.

He was drunk, so of course this seemed like a good idea.

"Denuntiamus autem vobis," he slurred the latin, "a tenebris ad lucem,"

He wanted someone to love him, but mostly he just wanted someone to provide a much needed roll-in-the-way without a murder investigation following. He wanted someone he couldn't kill.

"Denuntiamus autem vobis, " he slurred, "domina umbrae."


He was drunk, so of course this seemed like a good idea. Summoning a succubus. She wouldn't be able to kill him, and he was fine with the idea of a sexual parasite. He would sacrifice whatever he could to just get rid of these feelings inside him, and Lochlann knew only one way to do that.

"Denuntiamus autem vobis, " he slurred, his voice rising in the sillness of the room. "in hunc mundum."

He shouted, extending his hands, blood dripping down his fingertips, "Appare!"

The candles extinguished by themselves. Lochlann waited, his breath heavy, his fingers crossed.

He was drunk, so of course this seemed like a good idea. It's just a shame he got his latin from google translate.

For the first time in a while, Chloe was starting to feel good about herself. For the first time in a while, she looked at herself in the mirror and thought to herself: this isn’t actually so bad.

She was still a prisoner at her school, though, let’s be honest about that. Her horns, her legs, her tail made certain of it. People like her weren’t supposed to exist. They needed to keep her hidden up here in the mountains, away from all the normal people. But she was surrounded by normal-looking-enough kids who could go mingle with the humans and come back and talk about it over lunch, leaving her to overhear and wish she could be so normal. Even among freaks, she was a freak, and she would be that way for the rest of her life, living and dying anonymously, hidden, and mostly alone.

But this morning, she decided that she had a reasonably pretty face. And that was a new and pleasant way for her to feel about herself. To commemorate this occasion, she was spending an unusual amount of time prettying herself up for the school day ahead. Generally she didn’t wear makeup, but now she was going all out. She even put on that dark red lipstick she didn’t think she’d ever use. And perfume, too, because why the hell not.

In retrospect, this was a little bit suspicious, coming from her.

When she was done, she took a few moments to admire her work in the mirror. For an inhuman abomination, she looked pretty alright. Some might even say ‘gorgeous,’ if they had a fetish for schoolgirl uniforms with uncomfortably short skirts, or demonic-looking weirdos, or demonic-looking weirdos in schoolgirl uniforms.

Chloe looked to the clock on her bedside table. Crap! She had all of fifteen minutes to eat breakfast and get to class! She grabbed her backpack, stumbled towards the door to the room, tripped over her own tail and fell through a tear in the fabric of reality.

There was no warning. No crackling bits of lightning or a bright flash of light or a puff of smoke. She fell to her knees, blinked, and noticed that her room had suddenly gone dark, except for the moonlight coming through those windows. Except her windows were of a different size, shape, and location than they used to be. And her room had decidedly more spent candles and weird circles and blood on the floor than it did a second ago, and it smelled more of whiskey and smoke than it normally did, and there was an ominous silhouette of a man in front of her and oh god this wasn’t her room was it.

Chloe stared up at the silhouette, scared and confused, silently waiting for any of this to start making sense.

It worked.

He had a hard time believing it worked.

"Annwyl Dduw," he regressed to Welsh for a moment before collapsing onto his knees before her, staring at the shadowy figure before him. His eyes hadn't fully adjusted to the darkness yet, so Lochlann pulled the lighter back out and flicked it on, illuminating the two of them in a tiny glow of light before he burned his thumb. He cursed softly, fumbled for a candle, and lit the candle.

"You came," he said to her, "I didn't think you'd come."

He reached his left hand out to touch her face, but hovered it a few inches from her, oblivious to the blood that still trickled down his wrist and onto the ground between them.

"You're beautiful," he said, and he wasn't lying, because Lochlann did indeed find her long hair and horns attractive, and that was to say nothing of her feet, because he hadn't quite seen them yet.

Now that she was here, though, Lochlann wasn't too sure what to do. Normally he had to court a girl before he could go any further, and he wasn't sure if the same rules applied for succubus. He was afraid to ask, not wanting to insult her, and he was too drunk to really make too much of a cognitive leap.

"What...what do you need from me?" he asked, his hand still hovering in the air between them. His other hand clutched the bottle at his side and he took a swing.

The candlelight flickered between them and his dark eyes were pools of black in the shadows. In this light, it was easy to see how predatory he might be.

Chloe’s face was perfectly blank as her captor revealed himself. He was surprisingly attractive, for someone who seemed to be in the business of using supernatural means to kidnap high school girls. Also surprisingly drunk. She would imagine that one would want to be sober when committing a crime of this magnitude.

Her mind kicked into overdrive. This was a very bad situation, and she needed to get out of it. She began to notice things: the circle looked like the kind of thing she’d see in video games or comics, when some idiot wanted to summon a demon. The candles and blood added to the ensemble. Speaking of blood, some was coming out of the guy’s hand. His blood. Demonic rituals. He cut himself to summon her like some kind of…. demon-summoner-guy. Yeah.

She got the distinct impression that he didn’t expect any of this to work. He seemed almost as surprised as she was. Chloe didn’t know how this would happen, but she would certainly take advantage of it. There was a crack in her mask – for a moment she looked incredulous, but soon she was sitting up straight, doing her best to look like a noble and dignified demoness who was entirely in her element.

“What I need…” her voice trailed off. What in the actual hell is he talking about? Thinking fast, she reached up to grasp his hand in both of hers. Her tail twisted sensuously behind her, or at least in a way that she imagined might be sensuous, as she looked into his eyes. “What do you think would be appropriate?” With his hand in hers, Chloe would start to drain his strength. They would feel warm, giddy, like they had each just shared a first kiss.

“What I need…” She trailed off and then grasped his hand.

Lochlann's eyes flashed, the pupils contracting and then dilating. His other hand lost the grip on the bottle and it fell to the floor. Since it was mostly empty, none of it sloshed out, though it's not like Lochlann would notice, anyway. His lips parted and a mostly-inaudible gasp escaped between them.

She asked, “What do you think would be appropriate?”

Lochlann's head slumped forward, his dark hair obscuring his eyes, and for a second it seemed like he was in pain. But it was the opposite. He felt warm, giddy, and for the first time in a long time, he didn't hurt. He never wanted this feeling to stop.

He opened his eyes again, looking up at her, but it was hard to focus. "I would like to take you somewhere," he said. He was thinking about the lake, because that's what this feeling did to him. It made him want to go for a swim, to cool off, to show her how nice the water could feel if--

--no. No. He didn't think Demons could drown, but he didn't want to try.

"Can you swim?" he asked. His voice came out slurred again, but he couldn't tell, and the thought process made total sense to him. "How long are you here for?"

He couldn't remember if he was supposed to send her back or if she would just disappear. he didn't want her to go. he wanted to tell her that, but he couldn't get his mouth to move. He felt woozy and happy.

"It would be nice if you could stay. What is your name?"

Oh man, this guy was drunk. But he did seem like he was enjoying having the strength sucked out of him. So Chloe guessed it wouldn’t be a total loss on his end.

As he slurred his speech at her, Chloe moved closer, crawling on her knees, making sure to maintain skin contact with him until she was close enough that she’d be able to reach at his neck or his face. If she kept this up as long as she was planning, he wouldn’t be able to sit up much longer, and she’d be close enough to catch him, to keep draining him, to make him even less of a threat.

She decided to answer some of his questions; it would buy some time to let her power do its work.

“I can swim… okay-ish,” she admitted, then giggled. This giddy feeling would certainly make her act more believable, if nothing else. She couldn’t stop smiling at him if she wanted to. “And you can call me Chloe. What can I call you?” She ignored the question about how long she would stay. She also tried to ignore the implications of that question. Might not be smart to address the serious stuff until she was completely in control.

“Where were you thinking of taking me? You’ve already taken me so far from home."

She crawled towards him and even all the alcohol he drank couldn't stop his body from responding.

“I can swim… okay-ish,” she giggled and Lochlann found himself laughing, too, but he wasn't sure why. He wasn't going to take her to the lake, but if he did, she might be okay. That's all he wanted, was someone to make him feel like this and be okay afterwards.

She was so close he could almost taste her breath if he wanted to. “And you can call me Chloe. What can I call you?”

"Lochlann," he said, his mouth forming a slow, silky smile after he said it. "My name is Lochlann...and it's very nice to meet you, Chloe.

“Where were you thinking of taking me? You’ve already taken me so far from home."

"To the windows, for now," Lochlann motioned vagually in the direction of the windows. "I want to show you the view. And then I want to take you to where the view shows....it's...it's fantastic."

The last part didn't make much sense, but Lochlann didn't care. He was an autopilot, and the closeness, the candles, it seemed right. He tilted his head to the side, closing his eyes, leaning in for a kiss.

He would be out soon, sure enough, but the problem was that he had a lot of pent-up entry. It came from being hungry.

It'd be easy to distract him in this state, though, especially when he felt woozy. He wondered if he'd lost too much blood for a moment, but then he decided he didn't care.

He leaned in for the kiss. Chloe decided that she’d had quite enough of this. She absolutely did not want to get cuddly with her kidnapper. Plus, by now, she’d probably sapped enough strength from him that she could overpower him easily if he tried anything stupid. While his eyes were closed, she wrapped her tail around his neck. It was loose enough that he could breathe but snug and firm. The draining stopped, and the first-kiss-feeling started to die.

“That reminds me, Loch, I’ve been meaning to ask – how the hell did I get here?” The mask had dropped; her tone had become decidedly businesslike and un-seductive. The giggling was over; now she showed her true intentions. “And where is ‘here?’ Because I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but I’m thinking I want to go home now.” She tried to sound tough and demanding and in charge, but she was scared out of her mind.

Chloe could snap his neck at any time. Or, at least, she thought she could. She had never tried to kill someone before, and she didn’t like the idea, but she had also never been kidnapped by a possible rapist before. Or a serial killer, or a sex trafficker. It would make sense – people like her weren’t supposed to exist, so who would prosecute? She needed to look out for number one – herself. But this guy didn’t seem like he could pull off any sort of complicated scheme. He kind of seemed like a drunken idiot.

Maybe that was a ruse? It would have to be a really complicated one for sure, but...

At least one thing was for sure: Chloe hadn’t thought any of this through past pulling a trick on this guy.

There were a lot of things that scared Lochlann: guns, iron, leeks. But at the top of that list was being tied up. So when he felt something wrap around his neck, Lochlann realized he'd messed up.

He probably shouldn't have done this drunk.

He didn't feel great like he did moments before, but he didn't feel horrible anymore, either. He opened his eyes and found it hard to focus, so he kept them half-closed. Her voice changed, but Lochlann wasn't really surprised.

“That reminds me, Loch, I’ve been meaning to ask – how the hell did I get here....And where is ‘here?’ Because I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but I’m thinking I want to go home now.”

Loch tested his boundaries slightly, leaning back onto his feet in a more comfortable position if she'd let him, but not really going anywhere.

"Manta Carlos," he said. There was something a little off about the way he said the Island's name, some trace of an accent. "It's....It's a school for fuck-ups."

He sighed, looking lazily at the pile of candles and wax around them, and said, "You came because I called you here. You're a domina umbrae, a...a succubus, yes? I followed the instructions in the book, put some blood in, and now POOF here y'are."

Part of him wondered if they were still going swimming. The other part of him wondered if he was supposed to have given more blood. He wondered if he was going to die. He wondered why he didn't care.

"I thought you would know when the spell is over," Loch said, squinting. He reached up and touched her tail experimentally, not trying to untangle it, just wanting to run his fingers over it to see that she was real and that he wasn't passed out on his own vomit somewhere. If this was a hallucination, it was a damn good one.

He dropped his hands back to his sides. "You...you are a succubus, right?"

Chloe stared at him. She only allowed him to lean back enough that her tail could still be around his throat. When Loch finished speaking, she scrunched her eyes closed for a few seconds longer than a typical blink, opened them again, and was displeased to see that any of this was still happening.

“A school for fuck-ups.” she repeated. The same description could probably apply to her own school. Sort of. “Well, you sure came to the right place for your education! ‘Cause I’m pretty sure that succubi aren’t real, and I’m pretty sure magical... demon… summoning books? I’m pretty sure that’s not a thing either.”

She stared at the window for a moment. It was dark outside. This probably meant they were in a different time zone. “Also I’m not stupid.” She shook him around with her tail, enough to make him uncomfortable but not enough to hurt him. “You can’t possibly not know that I’m a high school student, or that you kidnapped me.” Another quick shake, for good measure. “So what were you trying to pull off, huh?”

For all she knew, the story was a stupid trick to make her put her guard down, so that she could get killed or drugged or raped or any of those things in any given combination. Well you know what, Loch? she thought to herself, I’m not gonna let my guard down.
