Dont Trust Me. [Silver]

@"Evelyn Pierce"

Mephis was walking silently around the dark streets, his black fur blending perfectly with the surrounding shadows. If it wasn’t for his unnatural glowing eyes and collar spikes, as well as the small jingling sound of the supposed medallion hanging from his collar, inside of which you could see at least three different glowing colored smoke-like substances that once were the souls of mortal beings moving restlessly, like trying uselessly to escape, you wouldn’t be able to tell that he was around at all.

It was then when a familiar scent reached his nose, that scent that allowed him to know that he wasn’t the only demon around the area. He had heard about other demons around the place, but the closest thing he had gotten to one of them was the meeting with the kitsune girl.

He allowed his nose to guide him, wanting to know what kind of demon he would be sharing hunting grounds with. After turning around a corner he noticed it. He didn’t had to be a genius to know that the girl was a succubus, if he clothes and body weren’t enough to give her away, the strong sexual scent that came from her and her victim would be just way too obvious to ignore.

He perked his ears when he noticed the blue wisp started to leave the man’s body through his mouth and slowly fed the succubus. He had to control the impulse of just running towards her and steal the soul from her before she could consume it, but doing so would be just plain stupid. She was a succubus, he was a demon pet, he would get in all kinds of trouble if he just did that. Succubus weren’t that high in rank, unless they were between his king’s personal harem, of course, but even then, his rank was lower than hers.

Yet, he obviously wasn’t that good at controlling his own temptations, so he started to slowly walk towards them, his eyes fixed on the glowing blue wisp, the most common kind of soul between humans.

It wasn’t until now that he noticed the carved words on the succubus arm, as well as the royal seal that his king had on his ring. So, this demon had royally screwed up and now she wasn’t more than filth between demons. Well, wasn’t this an interesting finding? Mephis rarely crossed paths with lower ranked demons, especially ones that once were above him, and doing so gave him a noticeable boost on his ego and confidence.

No longer trying to sneak towards her or trying to hide his intentions, he started to look at the crystal around her neck carefully, trying to think on the fastest and most efficient way to steal the soul that she had trapped in it. He didn’t even paid attention to the now apparently unconscious human, yeah, demons of his kind were well known for enjoying eating human flesh, but he wasn’t hungry at the moment anyways.

“It depends on how willing are you to give me that soul you’re carrying” His voice had a small threatening tone mixed in it, this wouldn’t be the first time that he would use force to steal a soul after all, and since she was a lower ranking demon there would not be consequences against him.

Yeah, he wouldn’t even dare to hit a female or anything related to it unless his owner forced him to thanks to his morality code, but he still had a lot of tricks that he could use to force her.

He wasn’t sure if other demons didn’t knew about Demon Pet’s morphing abilities or if they underestimated them, thinking that they only could take forms of small animals, but he was going to pop this succubus bubble right then and there, show her that he was far from being scared, and the one thinking twice should be her.

He decided to go with one of the most stereotypical demon forms on his book, since he didn’t had anything to lose after all. Before the eyes of the succubus he transformed into a man with a fairly athletic build, almost muscular, with black hair, very dark red ram horns, bat wings and a tail ending on an arrowhead-like shape, not as long as hers though. He was also careful enough to be slightly taller than her. His clothes were just some comfortable black denim pants and a comfortable black t-shirt.

“You’re not the only one that can play this game, scum” He almost hissed while saying these words, showing some unusually sharp fangs as he talked. The only thing that would allow her to know that she was talking to the same demon was the collar around his neck, the mark of a demon pet.

His gaze was cold as ice, with a small intimidating hint on it as well, he knew perfectly how his king punished those who betrayed him, so he was far from being afraid of her. If they looked at their arsenal, there was a high chance that he had more under his sleeve than her, even if she was obviously trying to make him think otherwise.

Mephis took a step backwards when the succubus in front of him started to transform again. As far as he knew, succubus didn’t had morphing powers like he did, so he couldn’t help but feel surprised…until he finally understood. He started at her, he had heard of the fallen, but his king was so adamant about lesser demons like him not being around that kind of rare prizes that he never had seen one before. But now there it was, a fallen standing right in front of him.

His shocked expression soon turned into a grin as he regained his composure “You surely had to screw up way too bad to become the scum that you’re now, eh?” He almost laughed with his words, purposely making fun of her situation. He ha his guard a lot higher now though, since he had never crossed paths with a fallen of any kind before he didn’t knew what kind of extra tricks they had under their sleeves.

However, he lost almost all his cool when the threat reached his ears. At the beginning he clearly flinched, but he soon got in a defensive stance, wondering which form it would be the best to take her on. He wouldn’t allow her to get hold of his souls, hard enough was to collect them to actually lose them all to a creature that had it a lot easier.

“Don’t tempt your luck, scum. I know that the King gets rid of any superior power of anyone that he personally exiles, so there is a chance that I will still can not only prove to match your levels, but surpass them” He knew that he was just saying this as an attempt to intimidate her, since he really wasn’t that sure, but all his years of experience allowed him to act like if he was completely sure of it, to the point where he was starting to relax around her, not even needing to change his form at all “You really want me to do this the hard way?”.

Mephis wasn’t expecting the intoxicating aroma that started to surround him, taking him completely off guard. He knew that succubus had a lot of tricks like this under their sleeves, but he wasn’t expecting her to still have them. That and the act that he was never good at resisting temptations of any kind, he wasn’t sure if it was a side effect of being a low ranked demon or if it was just him.

He looked at her as she stretched, his gaze fixed on her breasts as soon as the top button of her shirt popped. He walked towards her, pushing her backwards with an unexpected gentleness before pinning her against the wall behind her. He was still acting in an intimidating and confident way, but his eyes now had a glint of lust in them as well. The scent surrounding him was proving to be enough to start clouding the demon pet’s mind.

“I need to keep my souls and I’m sure that you don’t really need that one, if you seduced that human so easily I know that you can do the same again to another one” He gently grabbed her chin, forcing her to lock her eyes on his’ “I’m sure that we can make a deal that will benefit both of us” He almost purred these words, no longer talking like a superior. His voice was sweet and slightly lustful.
