<i>Hello all. 



I know it's been a while since I've posted but given this chapter is approximately 38 pages long, I think you will understand. 



Before I get into the description of this chapter, I'd like to thank WanderingMindGames for proofing this chapter for me and letting me bounce a few ideas off her. She's been a great help and been very supportive during my writing process. 



This chapter begins with the aftermath of what Celestine experienced in the restaurant with Marie and Celestine trying to warn Marie away from Tristan. Following that, Celestine and Rena try and have a normal shopping trip but run into both problems and fortunes over the course of their afternoon out. 



Elsewhere, Sig begins to mentally fall apart, and rapidly warps into something horrific. 



I hope everyone enjoys this chapter and thank you again for reading my story. As always I'm open to suggestions, thoughts and ideas. 



Forewarning, this chapter includes violent non-consensual sex followed by murder. If that isn't your cup of tea, I'd recommend skipping over it or looking elsewhere. </i>



~~~



Celestine and Marie spent the next few minuets getting themselves sorted out again... Celestine was simply straitening out her clothes, where Marie was actively wiping herself down and cleaning away sweat and other fluids that came from being fucked... They spoke only sparingly, with Celestine occasionally giving Marie a suggestion or pointing out something she missed. Still... both of them could tell this was terribly awkward... Marie had let Tristan fuck her, and Celestine had watched him do it, only to swallow down his cum when he was finished with Marie... It was no surprise then that Celestine quickly turned to leave once she was finished straitening her clothes out. However as she did Marie spoke up, voice suddenly panicked. "Wait!" 



Celestine turned to Marie after a moment's pause, unsure if she should just walk away or not. She didn't know what to do in this situation... She had never really been in a situation like this... Still when she looked to Marie she found the waitress looking away, her face was a pretty shade of red. Despite herself, and the fact that Marie was only half finished sorting herself out, Celestine felt a pang of... well... something. It wasn't desire... or maybe it was? She wasn't sure... It wasn't corrupted by lust at the very least, but something inside Celestine made her want to reach out and embrace Marie. Or at least be close to her. Marie stood there fiddling lightly as she tried to think of something to say to Celestine. The sight of her so vulnerable and unsure, spurred Celestine on all the more, but she didn't act on whatever this odd feeling was... 



Eventually Marie was able to speak and looked to Celestine sheepishly. "Thank you for... uh... not being angry or... y'know, freaking out when you saw me and him... uh... well... fucking." Marie managed a hesitant smile by the end though her face had grown somewhat redder. 



Celestine nodded lightly. "It was nothing Marie. Much as I don't like to admit it, watching you two... well..." Celestine hesitated and she saw Marie's features turn to one of concern, as if she had done something wrong. "... I enjoyed it..." Celestine admitted though it sounded odd to her ears. Still she couldn't exactly deny it. Marie nodded lightly, though after a moment she spoke up again. 



"I don't normally do this sort of thing... Have sex with customers... Or people I just met for that matter!" Marie added hastily, realizing she hardly knew anything about the man who just plowed her. After a moment or two she frowned and cocked her head. "Weird... I can't... remember why I let that happen... he just... followed me in here and the next thing I knew he was inside me..." Marie scratched her head slightly confused but shrugged it off. "Oh well, It was fucking great! I don't even care if I do lose my job or not, if it meant I could have another go with him I'd drop just about anything to get it!" Marie smiled, a naughty look shining in her eyes for a moment before she shook her head quickly. "Listen to me! I sound crazy!" She giggled once more though she noticed Celestine was quiet.



Celestine's chest tightened as she heard Marie's words, something not utterly unlike jealousy flared inside Celestine, but she pushed it down, not willing to accept that she was jealous at all. When the waitress stopped giggling, Celestine spoke up, intent on warning Marie away. Her voice was firm, but it wasn't overly cold. "Never let him fuck you again Marie. If anything, you should stay as far away from him as possible..." 



Marie looked to Celestine suddenly confused. "Wait... I thought you two... weren't... Oh god! I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" 



Celestine cut her off quickly, trying to hastily correct Marie. "We aren't! We most defiantly are not anything like that! It's just..." Celestine searched for words that wouldn't condemn Marie... words that didn't make her sound like a jealous bitch... "He's dangerous. I know he seems great and all but... Seriously, just stay away, for your own sake... okay?" Celestine asked looking to Marie and she found the waitress looking confused more than anything, but she nodded slowly. Celestine smiled lightly in relief before she turned to leave the bathroom, leaving Marie to finish up getting sorted out...

When Celestine got out of the bathroom she found that Claude was already gone, as was Tristan. She wasn't surprised... she doubted that either of them would have waited for her. Still she headed back towards their private room, though Rena found her first. 



"Hey! Are you finally ready to go?" Rena asked, chipper as ever, and apparently completely oblivious to what happened in the bathroom. Meanwhile, Celestine was still trying to get over what had just happened. Tristan hadn't used his powers on her, and yet she still watched him fuck Marie senseless. But beyond that, she willingly drank his cum... She was about to tell herself that she did it to protect Marie... and that was part of it... but it wasn't the biggest part... She did it because enjoyed his taste... which seemed to fulfill some deep thirst within her. Something she wasn't even aware of until given the opportunity to sate it. Now that she had drank his thick seed, a part of her felt very satisfied...



"Hey? You listening?" Rena's voice cut through her thoughts and Celestine's eyes snapped to her shorter friend before blinking once ore twice. 



"Uh... Shit... sorry Rena I was distracted." Celestine responded. "I'm listening now... Yeah I am ready to go. Are you able to leave now?" Celestine asked, looking towards the private room. Claude stood guard outside but he was all Celestine could see. 



"Yea, Master gave me the go ahead as soon as you were out of the washroom. He's talking business with Sig now. Lots of dry boring crap if you ask me." Rena explained as she fidgeted slightly, as she tried to stay in place and be patient. Apparently going to the mall and exploring down town was something she was looking forward to.



Celestine saw her friend's barely contained excitement and shoved away her concerns to be considered later, before she smiled happily. "Well then, shall we go see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into?" 



Rena grinned widely. "Careful for what you wish for Celestine." She giggled once and then began to head out, Celestine following. That said Celestine had the distinct feeling her little friend had something planned...

"Edmond?! What the hell are you doing here?" Celestine asked staring at Edmond Barlow who appeared to be waiting for the two of them at the mall entrance. He was carrying a bag of some sort, though Celestine couldn't see what was inside it.



Rena stepped up to Edmond and looked him over. Celestine noticed however that while she was, Edmond wasn't exactly hiding the fact that he was looking his master over too... her form fitting maid's uniform displayed many of Rena's attractive curves... It was apparent that Edmond was clearly enjoying the view because of it... Rena looked to his face to find him looking her over before reaching out and flicking his forehead. "Oi. Bag carrier, eyes up. I don't mind ogling but you need to listen now." Edmond flinched slightly at her flick but looked to her firmly afterwards, putting on a show that he didn't like her treating him like that, which of course only made Rena giggle some before turning to Celestine. "He's going to be our bag carrier today. I called him and told him to meet us here." She said in a chipper tone. "This way we don't have to carry our own stuff." 



Celestine raised an eyebrow and looked to Edmond, who seemed to be just as surprised at Rena's words as Celestine was. "Hold on a minute..." he started. "You mean I've been waiting here for over a freaking hour just to be your bag caddie?! Are you fucking kidding me?" Celestine could hear the anger rising in his voice as Rena kept her back to him. She also saw the growing smile on Rena's face as she basked in his anger... 



A moment later she twirled to face him. "Yep, and you'll do it too. Only way you're gonna get your treat after like a good boy." 



"I'm not a fucking dog." Edmond responded, anger still in his voice. 



Rena giggled once before taking him by the collar of his shirt and swinging him towards the wall of the mall with sudden and surprising strength, before he could recover, she got right up against him, slowly grinding her body against his. "Ohhh, how cute, you're being all rebellious. But you're right, you are not a dog... A dog follows orders. You're just a cute little puppy that hasn't been <i>whipped </i>into shape yet..." Rena said, her voice low and lustful... as she almost crawled on top of him, wrapping her arms around his neck to pull herself up and clamp her knees around his hips. 



Edmond looked to Rena with wide eyes as he tried to babble some sort of protest out. But Rena's grin only made him stammer all the more. Eventually she leaned in and began to rain soft pecks upon his neck and collar bone... Celestine watched slightly stupefied as Edmond's face seemed to go from angry young man to a horny little boy in all of three seconds... He was handling Rena's weight well enough but Celestine could see the weird position and her pecks were getting to him... his hands abandoned the bag he was carrying and came up and began to explore her body but Edmond suddenly yelped out in pain, as Rena bit down on his neck, slowly increasing pressure while suckling gently on his flesh. 



Celestine watched as Edmond's knees began to shake, and realized he was deriving a great deal of pleasure from her grinding herself against his body while the pain she inflicted made the masochist inside Edmond sing... His breathing hiked up and Celestine could see his face flushing before he began to moan lightly, only to yelp again as Rena suddenly let go only to bite somewhere else again. Celestine glanced around and she realized the two of them were drawing quite a fair amount of attention... No surprise... given that they were at the busiest street entrance to the mall...



Rena withdrew her head and looked to Edmond. "Mummm... Puppy is all hard for me..." She giggled once before sliding up his body a few inches and then sitting down again. Sitting on the tent that had pitched in Edmond's pants that is... He grunted painfully but then shuddered in pleasure, completely enamored with Rena. "Good." She continued. "Now, are you going to carry our bags like a good puppy?" Rena asked playfully. 



"Yes..." Edmond managed and Rena smiled before she gave him a light slap. 



"Yes what?" She pushed grinning all the way. 



"Yes... ma'am." Edmond managed to get out as he stared at Rena. 



She smiled happily and leapt off him with a single easy motion. "Good boy. I'll be sure to give you a treat later." 



Edmond was about to respond but Celestine cut him off. "If you two are done dry humping in public perhaps we could go inside?" Her voice was terse and it was then that Edmond seemed to remember he was in public... In an instant his face went beat red and he quickly pulled his hood up to hide his face while turning away to hide his obvious erection. Rena of course looked to Celestine like she didn't get what the problem was... Celestine sighed, amused by Rena's lack of social graces and proceeded to lead the three of them into the mall...



~~~~



It had been several hours since Celestine and Rena had left and Tristan sat back as Marie poured him another drink and he listened to Sig go on about the properties he had arranged for Tristan to review and agree to sell off. All told Sig had done a good job, and with his 'creative marketing' the assets would be more than enough to cover the costs associated with getting Edmond set up and going on his fashion line. He had the contacts to get Edmond meeting the right people too, so he would be able to shave years, if not decades off the process of getting Edmond to hit it big. Marie finished pouring his drink and offered the glass to Tristan again. He reached for it, but made sure to brush his fingers along her hand while doing so, and was immediately rewarded with a fresh wave of lust coming off Marie, as she smiled sheepishly. Her blush was adorable... and made Tristan just want to gobble up her soul right there... Despite her being an adult, Marie was clearly still innocent to some degree, but now that she had a taste, he could tell she wanted more. 



But for now, he focused mainly on Sig's words. He trusted Sig's ability, but he liked to know what was going on with his assets, and didn't assume they were simply limitless like some demons did. At the moment, Sig was outlining the mineral value of the land in question which was going to be sold off. The value had increased as there were unconfirmed reports that valuable minerals had been discovered in nearby regions. All of which of course had been set up by Sig... He was the one who spread the rumors, and seen to the market suddenly taking interest in land that was otherwise largely useless. The plan was to sell it now, before proper inquires could be done to test the rumors. Yes he wouldn't earn as much as if he had actual tests conducted to prove such things, but that could come back to bite him later when it was found the tests were falsified. He would sell low enough that anyone interested in such minerals couldn't pass it up even without the proper verification, yet still high enough to make a profit. 



He listened to Sig as he went on and when Marie left the room he devoted all his attention back to his servant. Sig went about explaining whom they could sell to, and who they could get top dollar out of with minimal risk of someone coming back at them. About five minuets later Claude spoke to him via the Demonic mark. 



<i>("My lord. I do not mean to intrude but I've noticed something that you may wish to know.") </i>Claude was perfectly polite in his interruption and it wasn't enough to even make Tristan lose focus on what Sig was going on about. Still, Tristan responded.



<i>("Oh? Do tell my friend. As important as this is, I'm sure you can tell I'm bored. Sig is good at his job, but he has so little flair it's almost painful.") 



("Quite. I wanted to share the fact that your waitress seems to be discussing the merits of working over time with her manager.") </i>



Tristan frowned slightly, making Sig pause for a moment before pressing on. <i>("And this should interest me because?") </i>Tristan asked his butler, curious why he would bring this up.



<i>("Well it seems her shift is actually over my lord... she's requesting that she be allowed to continue working and serving your room. She's saying that it wouldn't be appropriate for someone else to suddenly start serving you halfway through your activities.") </i>Claude said, slightly amused.



<i>("I take it the manager is not terribly happy about the idea of paying her Overtime is he?") </i>Tristan asked curiously. 



<i>("No my lord, that seems to be the major hang up.") </i>Claude responded. 



<i>("Humm...") </i>Tristan pondered for a moment then smiled. <i>("I wonder if she'll do it or not...") </i>Tristan could feel Claude's slight confusion at his thoughts. Tristan had to suppress a chuckle. <i>("Wait for it...")



("My lord... what exactly am I supposed to be wai-... hold on... She just offered to work the extra time for free.") </i>Claude relayed in some confusion. 



This time Tristan couldn't help but chuckle, making Sig all the more nervous. <i>("Well that took about as long as I figured... She wants more Claude, and I plan on giving it to her. Prep for disposal, we'll need it I'm sure.") 



("Of course sir.") </i>Claude responded, highly amused.



Tristan refocused himself entirely on Sig and listened to his presentation. However now that he was listening to him solely, Tristan began to notice something was off... Sig was breathing hard and sweating more than he should have been... Tristan could feel barely controlled lust waxing inside Sig... Though Tristan was relieved to realize that Sig's lust wasn't aimed at him. 



Still, despite he discomfort Sig continued the presentation, though he had to stop occasionally whenever Marie came in. Tristan didn't ignore Marie, and with each time she came to service them he gave her a hungry glance or a feather light touch. Each time she left, she did so more aroused then when she came in... After approximately an hour Sig was to the point of shaking... Tristan had hoped to ignore his servants' issues but it was becoming impossible to ignore. 



"What the hell is wrong with you Sig? You are shaking like a leaf and sweating bullets..." Tristan asked annoyed at the servants' issues held up his own agenda.



"It is nothing sir... I promise you... I... I just..." Sig gave another shudder and fell to his knees. "oh god..." He whimpered out before falling over and curling up into a ball. "I'm bad! I deserve to be beaten and punished and oh god! Madam! Punish me! Please! Whip me, slap me, and treat me like garbage!" Sig quickly devolved into an incoherent mess...



Tristan watched as Sig fell over and started rocking himself while babbling. "...Huh..." was all he could manage as Sig seemed to fall apart right in front of him... He could feel Sig's lust slowly consuming him... burning through other rational thoughts and emotions... The only question was why was it happening? "Claude." Tristan said easily and in a moment Claude came in and closed the doors behind him. 



"My lord." Claude bowed his head ready to serve in any way possible, while trying to ignore the pathetic mass of meat curled up on the floor. 



"I need to speak to Ivy." Tristan said simply. Claude quickly pulled out his phone and began dialing by memory. After a few rings a feminine voice came through the receiver. 



"Hello?" 



Claude responded quickly. "Our lord wishes to speak with you. I will put you on now." 



"Of course." The feminine voice responded simply before Claude handed Tristan the phone. A light knock came to the door as well, and Claude immediately moved to prevent anyone from entering. 



Tristan took the phone and spoke into it. "Good afternoon Ivy. I hope I am not catching you at a bad time." Tristan began casually while Sig broke down in front of him. Meanwhile Claude was speaking with someone outside the door, explaining that for now they would have to wait. 



Ivy's low voice came back through the phone. "Humm... well I must admit you didn't catch me at the most ideal of times my lord. I am with a client right now... Hold on just a moment my lord..." The phone pulled away from her but Tristan could still hear her in the background. "Did I say you could move worm?!" followed by the sharp crack of what Tristan guessed was a riding crop and the painful moan of Ivy's client. A moment later her voice came back over the line. "My apologies for the interruption, what can I do for you?"

<hr pg="2" />"I'm having issues with one of my servants. He's one of your regulars, Sig. He's babbling incoherently and begging for someone to punish him. Namely you I believe." Tristan explained calmly as Sig squirmed around on the ground. "It's like his lust is literally consuming him... I need someone to help stave this off for a while until he finishes some work for me." 



Tristan heard Ivy giggle across the phone. "My lord, surely you could punish him? You have a strong hand and you would look positively delectable doing it..." Ivy suggested playfully, before giggling a bit more. 



Tristan sighed tiredly. "Stop putting me in your homoerotic fantasies Ivy. I've told you before, I'm not above eating a male's soul, but I sure as hell am not going to play 'spank the bad boy' with one. That's why I have you after all." 



Ivy giggled again and sighed. "Can't blame a girl for dreaming can you? I can be wherever you are in a few hours, I just need to finish up with this client first." Ivy heard dead air coming across the phone for several long moments and her humor dried up quickly. "Th-that is unless you need me to come now?" She asked hurriedly, hoping she hadn't upset him, or worse... piss him off. She ignored the protests of the client she was serving at the moment... 



"That would be the ideal case Ivy... Sig here is responsible for getting you your other clients after all. Plus, I need him to finish a job before he breaks down any further. So, it would be nice if you got your tight little bottom here as quickly as possible." Tristan replied lightly. 



"Of course my lord. Anything to serve and please you." Ivy said quickly, slipping further out of character in front of her client. She was dominating and abusive with humans... that just came naturally to her, as it did with most demons. But unlike other demons, she didn't tend to simply kill those she abused... She enjoyed treating them like garbage and loved it when they worshiped her for doing it... But for Lord Durial, she quickly became as obedient as they came... 



"Good!" Tristan replied. "When he's done you can eat his soul as well. His usefulness has essentially seen its end." 



Ivy almost leapt for joy. It had been a while since she got to consume a soul... She fed off plenty of lust but rarely did she get to fully consume souls. She needed her clients for the influence they wielded, and to offer up to Lord Durial when they were ripe to be controlled. So it was a great treat when she was able to consume a soul fully. "Thank you my lord. I'll be there right away."



"Good. I'll hand you to Claude for details." Tristan held out the phone and Claude quickly took it to explain their location and his plan for getting Sig out of here. As private as this place was, her plying her trade would be too much even for here... Meanwhile Tristan observed Sig further... wondering what had done this too him. He knew he hadn't... he hadn't used any of his powers on him... Rena would have just killed him, and would have reported any other demonic presence that got close enough to do this... Claude wouldn't have because... well frankly he would have seen this as beneath him. Marie was utterly human and completely normal...So that only left one person he'd had any real contact with since Sig arrived here...



Tristan got to his feet and stared at Sig in surprise and wonder, drawing Claude's attention. "My lord?" he asked curiously once he had finished with Ivy. 



"Claude... how would you describe what you are seeing happen to Sig here?" Tristan asked, an undercurrent of excitement in his voice. 



Claude looked to Sig calmly. "I would say he is having a mental breakdown due to a single emotion running amok. Lust in this case... though it is tied strongly with a certain situation... Specifically the need of someone else to punish him." Claude explained simply, curious where his lord was going with this. 



Tristan began to chuckle lightly. "I would agree my friend. Now the question is this... What caused it?" 



Claude cocked his head. "Humm... I am not entirely sure... However... after you left he was in here for some time... Alone save for Miss Celestine. But I don't see how... My lord... surely you're not suggesting that..." Claude paused, concern growing in his voice.



"Actually I am Claude..." Tristan corrected.



"My lord... the Fell born are supposed to make a demon's vice run out of control... None of the stories ever mention anything about it affecting humans." Claude expressed trying to remain calm.



"Why would they Claude? The stories were written and passed on by demons after all. Why would they care if humans are losing their minds to their own vices when the demons around them are dying because of it? The suffering of mortals doesn't even brook the mention of demons... Frankly we don't fucking care if mortals are suffering, because it is a norm when they are around us... So why would the stories include such things... when our own kind were dropping like flies around the original authors of the story?" Tristan asked looking to his friend, a sort of fanatical gleam in his eyes that gave Claude pause. 



"I... I suppose they wouldn't..." Claude had to admit... His master was actually completely correct. Demons wouldn't care if mortals were going mad because of their vices or sins... 



"So it shouldn't be a surprise that it is possible for a Fell Born to affect humans... Though, I have to wonder if it was because Sig bears my demonic mark or if it is because she can affect any human." Tristan wondered aloud as he looked over Sig. 



"My lord... if it is in fact the truth that Miss Celestine can affect any human she comes near, wouldn't it stand to reason that a lot of people are about to go insane in the mall?" Claude asked still worried slightly. 



Tristan shrugged. "I suppose we'll find out. Though I have to admit I doubt that is the case. Otherwise every person who was ever near her would be crazy too. Then again her powers might just be awakening now, because of her proximity to demons." Tristan chuckled lightly and pondered what this meant for him and more importantly, Celestine. He wondered how much longer he would be able to keep the truth from her... 



"Lord Durial... Please. I must urge you to reconsider allowing her to live. If her powers are affecting people at random now, instead of demons who use their powers on her first, we could be faced with the prospect of her powers affecting us at complete and utter random!" Claude was almost pleading with his master. Though not for his own sake... it was for his master that he pressed this so hard. 



Tristan looked to Claude and shook his head. "No. I understand what you're saying Claude... I do. But I do not think it is at random that Celestine's powers affect individuals... For demons, it is any of us who uses our powers on her or drinks in her emotions too deeply like Rena did... At least I believe that is the limit of it at this stage... For mortals, it might be those she condemns or presses her will against. I will have to ask Rena what she overheard when Celestine and Sig were alone... Hopefully that will be enough to gain some insight." Tristan explained and saw that Claude was still very concerned. Tristan sighed before continuing. "If it will put you to ease, you can help me ask Rena questions about the matter." 



Claude nodded once and left it at that. A moment later he went outside the room to wait for Ivy. She was going to pick up Sig and get him out of here and somewhere more private to help him ease his problem. From there she would get him to finish his work and then do away with him... Tristan in the meantime sat back down and watched Sig... as he shuddered and fought against his lust... Every time he seemed to push it back, it only came back stronger... hungrier... Every time it seemed to take a bigger bite of Sig, leaving less and less behind...



"You really are... a remarkable woman Celestine..." 



~~~~



"Celestine!" Rena came hoping around the corner of the isle once again at near breakneck speeds toting half a dozen sets of clothes. "What do you think of these ones?" Rena asked quickly as she skidded to a stop in front of Celestine. Celestine turned to look at Rena as she held them out for Celestine to inspect. It didn't take long for her to set aside those that wouldn't suit Rena at all and the rest she held out to get an idea of what it would look like on her. 



To be perfectly frank, Rena was having a ball. Not only that, she was being remarkably well behaved. Other than one ass at the front door, she hadn't threatened to tear anyone into bloody ribbons. Beyond that though, Rena seemed to really enjoy shopping. Everything here was something for her to experience for the first time, and explore it fully. Really the only issue was keeping up with Rena, who seemed to want to do everything at once. Even Edmond found it adorable, though he hid it. 



"Hum... No. Sorry Rena, but none of these really suit you. If you were about a half foot taller it might but these long flowing things don't really work with you." Celestine had to say to Rena. The shop they were in seemed to focus on women's clothing, and most of it was long and flowing clothing. Which meant that most of it made Rena look like a little girl playing dress up in adults clothing. Still, Rena didn't seem dissuaded. She simply shrugged and then held a few of the articles up to see what they might look like on Celestine. 



"It's all good." She replied quickly. "Some of these would look good on you, but... eh. I like it when you wear more sexy clothes." She giggled a bit and Edmond had to stifle a cough of surprise. He stood nearby, holding the few things they had purchased so far. Most notably a couple sets of work out clothes for Celestine. She had something that she could use back at Tristan's home, but it was never meant for such things. 



"That would be because you are a bit of a perv." Celestine said looking back to the racks of clothes, blushing only a little at Rena's words. 



"Yep." Rena replied with no shame what so ever. Her response earned her a few glances from the other more prudish women around the store. Celestine looked to those who stared at Rena and gave them a scowl. Who were they to judge her? Then again, not so long ago she might have been one of those people... Celestine turned back to Rena. 



"Are we set to move on? There isn't anything here that I really would like to buy." Celestine asked calmly. Rena nodded quickly and heaped the clothes she had back onto the isle. Within a few minuets they were in the mall proper and started heading in deeper. After a few more stops they came across something that startled Rena and made her gape wide.



"Wh-... What is that?" She asked pointing. 



"It's the water park Rena... water slides, a wave pool, hot tubs... that sort of thing." Celestine explained, though Rena seemed to hang off every word. 



"Wow!" Rena leaned against the glass and looked to the large park... She watched people go down the water slides and was almost bouncing by the time she looked back. "Those things they are wearing. What are they?" Rena asked pointing again.



Celestine looked to Edmond a bit surprised... before the two of them looked back to Rena. "Uh... Those are swim suits ma'am. You don't wear normal clothes in a water park, the chlorinated water would eventually ruin them." Edmond explained.



"Huh... a lot of them look a lot like lingerie." She commented idly. After a few moments she looked to Celestine again. "Can we go in?"



Celestine blinked in surprise. She hadn't been to a water park in forever... Still, she doubted they had the time to do so. Plus the park didn't allow customers to bring in purchases. "I'm sorry Rena, but not today. We don't have the time and we'd have no where to store our things. Plus, we don't have swimsuits." Rena looked to Celestine in disappointment before looking back at the water park, almost devastated that they couldn't go. Celestine pondered a bit before speaking up again. "How about this? We'll go buy swim wear today, and then some other time we can come back here and make a day of it?" 



Rena spun around and nodded quickly. "I'm sure Master will let us! It'll be fun." She broke out in a wide grin before speaking up again as she looked about. "So where is the place they sell swim suits?"



Celestine began to lead them there and within moments Rena was bouncing in excitement once more as the shop came into view. Rena, seeing it, rushed ahead, dragging Edmond along with her. To a casual observer it likely made the two of them look like a couple or something... Though Celestine knew perfectly well that Edmond was little more than a slave to Rena... She played with him, jerked him around... but Celestine doubted that Rena actually cared about him. Celestine pushed the thought aside and began to follow the two of them at a more languid pace. 



However Celestine stopped dead when a sharp feminine voice cut through to the right of her... "Well now, isn't this a surprise?" Celestine turned slowly to look to the source of the voice and found her boss standing a dozen feet from her. Helena Variss was a woman who was only about an inch shorter than Celestine, and was by all accounts, a quite attractive woman. She had light chestnut hair and a healthy toned figure. She didn't bear the bust that Celestine did, but she wasn't far off either... Her blue eyes were perhaps her most attractive feature, so sharp and brilliant it was difficult for some to not to get lost in those azure depths. It was apparent that Helena was here for the same reasons Celestine was...



However, despite her eye-catching looks, Celestine knew Helena as a distant and almost hateful woman who was constantly working to put Celestine down. She had been nice and pleasant to Celestine when she first started her job... Hell, it even seemed like she was trying to push Celestine for promotions and advancement... But after a month or two that all seemed to go down the crapper and for whatever reason. Helena became a vindictive woman, always looking for faults in Celestine. Meanwhile she claimed responsibility for Celestine's, and all her co-workers hard work and success, making her look like a saint to the higher ups... Plus, rumors persisted that Helena, who was only four or five years older than Celestine, had climbed the corporate ladder so fast because she spent much of her time on her back with her legs spread... 



Celestine didn't want to hate Helena, but it was almost impossible to get along with her when Helena always seemed to know how to poke at Celestine to keep her down and humble... Frankly, just being nearby Helena Variss made Celestine nervous and as much as she hated to admit it, she was afraid of this woman... "Miss Variss!" Celestine responded once she had turned to her. "It-... What a surprise to see you here." Was all Celestine could muster as her boss began to step towards her. 



Celestine saw Helena look her over and take note of the high end clothes that Celestine wore... before sneering slightly. "I'm sure it is. Where have you been Celestine? You just up and disappeared! Do you have any idea how much work you've dumped off on the others because of your slacking?" Helena asked, her voice almost cutting in its sharp edge.



"I-... I didn't mean for that to happen." Celestine began, trying to find the words to explain what was happening without putting Helena in danger. Despite her dislike of her boss, Celestine knew what might happen if she let the cat out of the bag...



"I don't care what happened. You ditch work completely without even a call? After everything I did for you to get you this job? Well you can keep your excuses, I don't give a damn." Helena replied before Celestine could speak up. 



Celestine stared at Helena confused. "Wha...What do you mean?" She stammered out, standing there like a deer in the headlights. 



"Oh for the love of..." Helena shook her head at Celestine. "And here I thought you were at least somewhat intelligent... You are fired you silly little girl. Maybe this will teach you some responsibility." Helena responded, failing to hide the small smile that crossed her lips.



Celestine stared at Helena, dumbfounded at what she had just heard. "But... I'm the most responsible one in the work group! I get jobs done in half the time it takes the others, and with better results! I'm the best damn employee you have!" Celestine responded exasperated.



Helena just rolled her eyes. "Oh please... The others were only slow because they were distracted by you and because you wouldn't work with them. You always hid yourself away from everyone." 



"To keep them from trying to pull a move on me!" Celestine snapped back sharper than she intended it to. Helena's withering glare made Celestine take a step back. "... I gave you my reports about... about what was happening... but you didn't do anything about it... So I had to... stay away." Celestine tried to reason; though it was clear it only made Helena angrier.



"Are you really that self absorbed? They were just trying to be friendly, and you immediately file a report about sexual harassment? Of course I didn't do anything you self important little girl. That's the business world, where you have to work together with people. I had such high hopes for you... But it's obvious you are just a little bitch who seeks attention, only to freak out whenever she gets it." Helena was cold and spiteful now, making Celestine back off even further. "And you make excuses after just disappearing for several days? I had thought maybe something had happened, but no... here I find you, dawdling around in the mall like nothing is wrong... You know what? I'm going to do more than just fire you... I'm going to do everything I can to make sure your name is known throughout this town by every company that does similar work... I'm going to make sure you never get another real job again." 



Celestine stared at Helena for a long moment... heart racing as she tried to comprehend why this woman was being so utterly vicious towards her... So she was slightly startled when Rena came up nearby, looking concerned. "Celestine? What's wrong... who is this person?"



Helena looked to Rena and smiled triumphantly. "Oh just her boss, giving her the boot." 



Celestine was thankful that Rena didn't understand what that meant... the tone was enough to make Rena bristle with anger, if she understood the meaning and context she might have just torn Helena in half right there... Celestine knew that her plans against Tristan would likely see her dead by the end of it... Celestine never expected to go back to work... She doubted that she would be able to even if she did survive for more than a few moments after she lashed out at Tristan. But still... hearing all this... it was like a violent slap in the face... She didn't understand why Helena was being so aggressive... usually she hid her vindictiveness behind veiled insults and unfair work allocation...



"Can you really blame me?" Helena continued to ask aloud, "She's worse than useless and a damn attention hound too. She brings a whole new meaning to 'disrupting the work place'. I don't know why though... You are hardly anything that impressive." Helena was almost exuberant in her aggression towards Celestine and more than a hint of jealousy tainted her words... Each word was like another slap in the face... 



First it had been Cameron... Her best friend for years... who turned out to be a manipulative bitch who had changed Celestine drastically over the course of years so she could use her even more... Now it was her boss... Helena Variss, who seemed to help get Celestine her dream job, something she worked tirelessly through university to get the right degree for... only so she could push her down and crush any hopes and dreams she had for a career... Why was this happening to her? Why did everyone who she wanted to call friend or mentor turn out to betray her? And what could she even do about it? She couldn't just lash out... could she? 

<hr pg="3" />As Celestine's mind whirled, trying to find the answer to her questions... something clicked inside and she realized that she wasn't powerless... She might be punished later... but it didn't matter. This woman, this wretch of a human being deserved this... She had made Celestine's life a misery ever since she began working under Helena... More than that though, she had tormented her co-workers endlessly, while reaping all the rewards for any success that they had. Now it was time to balance the scales...



"Helena..." Celestine said with sudden fidgety, her gaze firmly on Helena as she stepped forwards to confront her former boss.



Helena was surprised by the sudden fortitude that Celestine mustered, though she held her ground. "What now? Are you going to make more excuses?" She shot back, though some of her fury had been knocked out of her sails. 



"No. I'm simply going to tell you the truth, about why I haven't made it in to work these last few days..." Celestine responded, a cold smile growing on her lips. 



Rena stepped up. "Celestine... If you do that-" but Celestine cut her off.



"I know Rena." Celestine paused to look back to Helena and reached out to grab her by the collar of her blouse and drag her in to listen... When Celestine spoke again... She did it only so that Helena and Rena could hear... "You want to know the truth? I was abducted you vindictive bitch... And forced to witness and experience horrible things... Even now I'm actually a prisoner... I'm just being let out to stretch my legs before I am going to be forced to see even worse things in god knows what pit of evil... But you must be curious who my captors are... You see Rena here? She's a demon..." 



Helena listened but when Celestine said demon she scoffed. "You're insane!" She was about to say more, but Celestine shook her violently to silence her. 



"Shut up!" Celestine hissed. "I'm not done talking. I was abducted by a demon who wants to make me his personal fuck puppet... Every day I've had to endure his endless advances and try and not let myself change! But you know the funny thing is? I'm losing... I shouldn't be telling you this... In fact I'm breaking the rules by telling you this... But do you know why I'm doing it?" Celestine asked, voice frosty. Helena shook her head no as she tried to break free from Celestine's grasp. By this time several onlookers had taken note, though they were not close enough to overhear. "I'm telling you this because I was expressly told not to. That if I told anyone they would simply become a target." 



Helena's face turned to a confused frown. "Wh-... What are you saying?" She hid her concern well, though Celestine could almost taste it coming off her. 



"What I'm saying... you stupid tramp... Is that I've just painted a big ass bulls-eye on your forehead... I'm telling you, that now that they know you know they exist, they'll be coming for you... If you're lucky... they'll just kill you and be done with it... But in all likelihood, I expect you'll end up being torn apart slowly as they savor your agony..." By the time she was finished talking, Celestine saw the near abject terror in Helena's eyes... and it made Celestine feel good to know she was the one who made her scared... 



Before anyone could intervene Celestine let go of Helena and turned away to leave... Rena glanced back at Helena before falling in step behind Celestine and looked to her curiously, though a small smile was on Rena's features... Celestine didn't look back but instead ignored the fact that Helena was even present, forcing the nasty confrontation from her mind. Just as they were approaching the swimming shop Rena spoke up. "I have to tell Master what you did." Her voice was quite and clearly worried if Celestine would be upset. 



But Celestine seemed to surprise her when she spoke up. "I'm a little surprised you haven't already." She was completely at ease with her words, and clearly not angry at Rena.

<i>("Master, I need to report something...") </i>Tristan heard Rena's voice though the demonic mark and glanced away from the scene in front of him. Ivy was collecting Sig... and was proceeding to wrap him up in his jacket to help hide the fact he was a gibbering mess. 



<i>("Oh? What happened Rena?") </i>Tristan responded easily, though he was half concerned that Rena had noticed the Terrorgiest that he had sent to observe Celestine. If so, Rena might have already attacked them...



<i>("It's about Celestine Master... She ran into someone she knew... I think it was her boss from whatever job she had before she met you...") </i>Rena explained, though Tristan could feel the hesitation in her thoughts. She was dancing around the point. But Tristan didn't push her. Instead he simply let her get it out at her own pace. Eventually Rena continued. <i>("uhm... Well... I don't know how I can say this without it sounding bad but... Celestine told this woman about how you took her and told her that you and I were demons...")</i>



Tristan was silent for a long moment and Rena began to worry that he was about to explode in fury... However when he responded, she was surprised by his casual manner. <i>("Do you know why she did it Rena?")



("Actually I do... Celestine said she told her boss because Celestine wanted her to be a target... She wanted us to go after her boss...") </i>Rena explained carefully. She still expected her master to become angry... She expected that if anyone, even Celestine, was trying to use him for their own ends, it would make her lord angry... She tried to hastily add more. <i>("I mean it was pretty obvious that her boss didn't believe Celestine when she started talking about demons...We could probably leave it alone and nothing would come of it.")</i>



However Tristan's response to all this startled Rena... she felt his immense amusement at first through the demonic mark, but then she heard him laughing through his thoughts... It was clear he was trying to contain himself, but he just couldn't... In the restaurant itself, Ivy paused in her work and looked upon her lord as he bellowed his laughter out. It was dark but full of joy. It was rare that she or anyone ever saw him like this... Ivy looked to Claude though he seemed just as unsure as to what the source of his amusement was as Ivy. 



Tristan spoke to Rena through the mark, though he was still chuckling and grinning wildly in the restaurant. <i>("Fantastic... truly wonderful. Leave that woman alone Rena... Don't do a thing to her. I'll have her collected by someone else...")



("M-master, I don't understand... why are you so happy?") Rena asked, clearly confused.



("My dear Rena... Harming others comes naturally to you, so it isn't surprising that you don't understand. But Celestine has acted in a way that can only be described as utterly wrong... She has done something that some would even call an act of evil... She is throwing someone, whom I assume she despises, to the wolves, namely us. She even went as far as to tell the victim that was what she was doing, simply so the victim would know that it was happening because Celestine wanted it to happen. So that when the monsters surround her and all hope dies, she'll know she should have never crossed Celestine...") </i>Tristan explained, still basking in the knowledge of what Celestine had done. 



<i>("I still don't understand master...Why is this such a big deal? We do this sort of thing all the time.") </i>Rena queried. 



<i>("Yes, we do this sort of thing all the time Rena, but we're demons. It is in our nature. But Celestine is mortal... And on top of that, when I took her, she was an honest and upright person, who would have never done such things... But now... Now the corruption is beginning to set in... She's beginning to sway from her lofty ideals...And when she eventually falls from her lofty perch... I'll be there to catch her... And I'll baptize her into a life of sin...") </i>Tristan was grinning ear to ear... picturing what she might become, radiantly beautiful, while committing any atrocity to fulfill her desires. 



<i>("I'm still not sure entirely what you mean, but I think I'm beginning to understand master.") </i>Rena replied, a little relieved that her master wasn't angry. <i>("Do we still have some time Master? Or are you nearly ready to leave?")



("Take your time Rena, I can keep myself entertained for another hour or so.") </i>Tristan responded calmly. 



<i>("Okay. There is one more place we are going to before we are done in the mall... but then I need to see to giving my servant his treat.") </i>Rena explained, a malicious amusement coming through her thoughts. 



<i>("Now now Rena, be sure you don't spoil him.") </i>Tristan replied, also amused. 



<i>("I'll be sure not to master... But with you approving of what Celestine did... does this mean she won't be punished?") </i>She asked confident that Celestine wouldn't be.



<i>("Oh she will be Rena, though not in the way you are fearing. She might end up enjoying her punishment... But we'll deal with that after the Court is done... Leave it be for now...") </i>Tristan instructed and Rena left it at that, her thoughts disappearing from his. 



Looking back to Ivy and Claude, Tristan continued to grin. "Get him out of here Ivy... and get him to get all his work squared away... I've signed everything, now it just needs to be put through..." 



Ivy nodded quickly, before she began to pull Sig up. He was reluctant at first, but she quickly struck him with her riding crop and spoke harshly. "Get up Trash! You think you have the right to be in such a nice place?! Such a place is reserved for the Elite, not scum like you!" Another snap of her crop and Sig was up and ready to follow her, masochistic lust written all over his features... Ivy gave a slight bow to Tristan and then led Sig away, ignoring the looks the two of them got on their way out the restaurant...



Tristan turned to Claude. "Send a message to the Terrorgiest... They are probably already tracking the woman whom Celestine has informed of her predicament. Tell them to capture this woman, and bring her back home. We'll be torturing her for a few days before we finally dispose of her." Tristan instructed and Claude bowed once before turning away to see it done. When he opened the door he stepped back though, allowing Marie to enter before he vacated...



"Hello sir... I noticed your companions have taken their leave... Is there anything else I can get you?" Marie asked her voice both hesitant and hungry at the same time... She didn't know how to ask for him to fuck her again, but she clearly wanted it. 



Tristan smiled to her and it made her breath catch. "Before I answer that, I have to ask. Are you occupied serving any other tables, or am I your only customer?"



Marie smiled and blushed lightly. "Actually... I'm... working free overtime just to serve you. I thought it would be wrong of me to just disappear on you." 



"Hum... I see." Tristan replied. "Well then, to answer your question, I still need the bill to settle up." 



Marie tried not to look disappointed but nodded quickly to go get the portable terminal so he could pay. When she returned she waited patiently for Tristan to be finished and when the bill was printed out she handed it to him with a slightly disappointed smile. He took it and pocked it simply before standing up in front of her. "Have a good day." She reflexively said though Tristan smiled slightly at that.



"But Marie, there is still the matter of the tip." Tristan said calmly. Marie looked to him slightly confused... He had already given her two hundred dollars in apology for what that other man had done... how much more was he going to give her? 



However when Tristan began to undo his belt and pull out his manhood, Marie could only stare enraptured as she felt her pussy begin to gush... He started to slowly stroke himself, and was quickly becoming hard. "That is..." he began, drawing her attention back up to his face. "Unless you were thinking of some other form of compensation for all your hard work?" Marie swallowed hard before letting out a pleased sigh... She slowly fell to her knees, taking him in hand and looking up to him. She gave a slight purr before her mouth descended onto his hard cock...

Rena cocked her head and seemed to focus for a few minuets, leaving Celestine to enter the shop and browse. She was looking for something that would fit her and look decent in the process. She saw the skimpy bikinis and immediately passed them, preferring something that covered more and wouldn't come apart under a stiff breeze. If she was going to get something for the water park, then she would get a swimsuit that would survive the event. She noticed soon that Edmond was having a hard time finding somewhere he could look safely... Really it was actually kind of amusing... 



It didn't take long for Celestine to find the one piece swimsuits. But as she looked through the more conservative ones, she was quickly becoming frustrated... She didn't really understand why at first, but as time went on she found that none of them really suited her... She didn't know why... these were what she normally wore on the few occasions she went out to the beach or places like that... 



Surprisingly enough, relief from her frustration came from Rena as she came up from behind Celestine. "Blech... those are kind of boring don't you think?" 



Celestine looked back to Rena for a moment, wondering if she should ask how her discussion with Tristan went... Instead she left it alone and looked back at the rack of suits. "Well... maybe. But... this is the sort of swimsuit I normally wear..." Celestine replied hesitantly.



Rena snorted slightly amused. "Okay. If you say so. I'm just saying those things, are boring as hell. I think you would be better suited for something like those..." Rena said pointing to the racks that Celestine had passed earlier, the ones with suits and two pieces that barely covered anything. 



"Uhm... I think I'm repeating myself here, but you want me to wear something like that because you're a perv and want to see me as naked as possible. Those sorts of things usually don't survive going down water slides Rena. All they are for is showing off to others and sun tanning... that's it." Celestine said with some amusement towards the small demon.



Rena grinned. "Hey, what can I say, I like seeing you naked." This earned Celestine and Rena a new round of odd looks, not the least of which was a red faced glance from Edmond. "But I'll trust you on this one... Maybe one of those?" Rena said pointing again before leading Celestine towards a different rack. Celestine looked them over and realized these were one piece suits as well, though they had far less material then the conservative choices she was looking at earlier... One design caught her eye specifically... It was cut down the middle to reveal a fair amount of the wearers' cleavage, but there was a clasp just below the bust, before the cut in the material flared out again exposing much of the wearers' stomach before coming to another clasp and flaring out once more. This time the cut was open and low enough to display the navel, and stopped just above the groin... The material would have covered her sides and straps went over her shoulders, but it still left almost the entire back exposed, down almost to the base of the spine...The piece in question would hug her bottom and groin as well, leaving much of her ass and long legs exposed while still covering her intimate parts. 



Still, despite liking it Celestine hummed and hawed about it. "I don't know Rena, maybe I should just go with what I normally wear... I mean it's not like I'm going to be trying to impress anyone." Celestine reasoned as she began to turn away. 



"Oh really? What if master comes with us?" Rena asked curiously. Celestine turned back to her, looking slightly confused. 



"Did he say he was?" Celestine asked quickly as she looked back at the piece that caught her eye... She wondered what color would suit her best before looking back to Rena, who was smiling broadly. It was then that she realized that she sounded far too hopeful... "Not... Not that it matters if he did or not... He would probably only end up hitting on women." She added in a more subdued voice. 



"I didn't mention it to him yet." Rena replied in a coy smile, as she looked to Celestine with a knowing look. 



Celestine stared back for a long moment and then gave a slight huff. "You can be a brat sometimes, you know that?"



"Yep." Rena replied proudly before grinning wider. "Just try it on. What's the harm in that huh? I'm gonna go look for one I like." And with that Rena began to wander off. 



Celestine looked to the suit again and found one in a dark green... She took her time and took one of the more basic one piece affairs that covered her more completely before heading to the changing rooms. On her way there she noticed there was a man waiting outside one of the changing rooms and that he was occasionally exchanging words with a woman inside one of the stalls. They were going on about his choice in swim wear... Primarily her wishing he would wear something that would show off his 'assets'... his argument was that his assets were only meant to be put on display for her. 



When Celestine walked by the man noticed her presence and blushed some, clearly thinking that he and his girlfriend were the only two this far back in the store, as none of the other changing rooms were in use. However it didn't stop his girlfriend from coming out of her changing room wearing what could only be described as a micro bikini, along with a wide smile... It was clear it was meant as a service to him, but it was so skimpy Celestine couldn't help be startled by it. Celestine didn't stare and quickly looked towards one of the changing rooms when the woman wearing the suit spoke up. 



"Hey... look if you want. I don't mind. Only one condition though... you let us see you in your suit." Her voice was playful and curious... Her boyfriend blushed harder and looked to her, whispering to her that she shouldn't put strangers on the spot like that. She only giggled. "Oh come on, look at her... She's gorgeous; you can't tell me you don't want to see her in a swim suit!" Celestine blushed harder and quickly escaped into her changing stall. It took her a few moments to get her heart rate down... It was still very odd to have people call her attractive, though it was clear that some thought so. She also had to admit, that fellow's girlfriend was pretty open minded if she didn't mind her boyfriend looking at other women. Then again, when she dressed like that Celestine doubted he could look away...



Celestine changed into the simpler one piece that covered a great deal. She looked herself over in the small mirror they had in the change rooms and, like she expected, she didn't feel right in it. Like Rena had said, it felt boring. It didn't feel like her... not any more anyway. Looking to the other suit Celestine wondered if she should even try it or not, but after a few moments decided she might as well. 



However as she began to change Celestine could hear whispering from the couple's stall. She couldn't make out exactly what they were saying but part of her wondered if she was the topic of their conversation. Remembering the way that they both looked at her made Celestine's breathing hike up... Had people always looked at her like that? She tried to scour her memories to see but... she found that in most cases she ignored people that she didn't know and if she did notice how they were looking at her, she scoffed at them if they were looking at her wantonly or anything like that... 



Before Celestine had realized it, she had finished changing and looked to herself in the mirror. The suit fit her well, though she couldn't see how she looked terribly well because of the poor light in the stalls. She knew there were other mirrors outside for people to look in and model for whomever they might be with... Celestine could hear the couple outside, and it sounded like the woman had come out and was showing off a different suit for her boyfriend. Celestine pondered going out and seeing herself in better light, but she was hesitant... She didn't know if she wanted others seeing her in this... She continued to mull it over for a moment before she finally decided to go out and see what it was like. It was just a swimsuit after all, right? 

<hr pg="4" />Opposite to the door of her change room was a full body mirror and Celestine stepped out to see herself in proper light... The sight of herself didn't take her breath away, but Celestine could see she looked good in this suit... The dark green complemented her complexion and red hair... But more than that... the cut away around her navel displayed her second Demonic Mark openly... The suit was sized almost perfectly, as if it was made to put the tattoo like mark around her naval on display... Celestine turned around to look at her back in the mirror and found the first mark was also visible. Despite herself, Celestine felt a shiver of pride run through her as she looked upon herself. She looked hot... more than that... she looked naughtily erotic without being indecent... 



"Holy fucking hell..." A male voice came from her left and Celestine looked to see the couple staring at her in awe. 



"No shit..." The girl replied as they both looked her over. Celestine knew she should have felt bashful... that she normally wouldn't have basked in their gaze... That she should have turned away and hid back in the change room. But something inside her made her turn to the two of them and pose slightly. The girlfriend was wearing a more standard bikini, and the boyfriend was wearing trunks... But Celestine could see their responses in more than their gaze. The woman had flushed slightly, and Celestine could see her nipples begin to harden through the thin fabric of the bathing suit. The man was beginning to pitch a tent in his shorts, which were unmercifully confining. 



Seeing them react like that... Celestine began to feel warm as her breathing hiked up once again and she began to writhe slowly. Oddly, what plagued her most was that she didn't know what to do with her hands... Where was she supposed to put them? Every position seemed to elicit another gasp of breath from the two of them... If she put them behind her back, it pushed her bust out... If she cross her arms, it squeezed her breasts some and made it look like they were threatening to come out of her swimsuit, though Celestine could feel there was no real risk of that. 



Celestine turned away but she knew that only gave them a view of her ass and the mark she bore on the small of her back... She could feel their gazes running over her, trying to peer through the thin swimsuit... She couldn't stand it... knowing that they were looking at her like that, so she glanced back to them over her shoulder and found both were breathing in short quick breaths. Knowing she had done this to them made her shiver in delight... She was exultant in this... She was making them hot and excited and she was hardly even moving... and it made her feel strong and powerful... 



She didn't know why... but Celestine spoke to the two of them, and couldn't ignore the way her voice sounded... It was like her inner voice, and she could see the two of them swoon at her every syllable. "Well? Are we even now... Now that you've seen me in this?" 



The girl blinked once and looked to her confused, and it was clear she was having a hard time focusing. "Uhm... wh...what?"



Celestine smiled and purred lightly, which she could see made the guys cock buck slightly under the fabric of his trunks... "You said I could look at you in your suit, if I showed you mine off to you... So... are we even now?" Celestine said her soft smile teasing ever so slightly...



The young woman stammered for a moment before finally managing to get her words out. "Y-Yea... Actually... I think we owe you some change...but... uh... wow... Excuse us..." She then proceeded to grab her boyfriend's arm and drag him into the changing room with her... leaving Celestine alone for a moment. Celestine looked to the booth confused but it only took a moment for her to hear the sounds of the two of them making out quickly followed by the stifled moans and grunts as they began to fuck in the secluded booth... 



Celestine couldn't help but shiver as she felt delectably naughty for instigating something like this... She turned to look at the mirror again and sighed pleasantly... She did like this suit... But more than that, she liked how it made people look at her... However that drew a question to her mind... how would Tristan react when he saw her in this? 



Immediately Celestine mentally slapped herself. She shouldn't be thinking of ways to show off to him. If he reacted anything like those two did, Celestine was sure he wouldn't hesitate to act on his lust and try and get some action out of her... Yet as she glanced at herself she wondered if perhaps that wasn't a bad thing... She could decline... but it might be useful to use as some sort of sign that he was getting to her... That she was becoming more and more willing to let him control her... She could use this to make it seem like she was losing herself to lust... It certainly wasn't something she would normally wear... 



<i>That isn't a bad idea you know...</i>



Celestine gasped as she heard her other side begin to speak. "Damn it... who said you could speak up." She hissed to herself quietly. 



<i>Hey now, believe it or not, I'm on your side on this. We should get this suit. I mean hell... look at us! Hot as hell I'd say...</i>



Celestine paused as she considered her other sides' words... thoughts... whatever... Never before had this other side voiced itself without trying to convince her of something she knew she shouldn't be doing... "You're trying to trick me into doing something I shouldn't." Celestine accused.



<i>Maybe, but that doesn't make it any less true that we look great in this. Plus, I'm sure he would just drool to see us in this. Those two certainly were. We love how this makes people look at us... how it makes them adore and lust after us... And you know you can't deny it. But that is besides the point... It is just like we thought earlier... we could use this to make him think we're giving in...</i>



Celestine had to admit she couldn't deny it any more... She enjoyed it when people looked at her with desire in their eyes... She enjoyed the feeling that came with knowing that when others looked at her, they wanted her... It was something she had worked hard to ignore and even prevent for years... But that was changing... No... that was wrong. It had changed... 



<i>So then what are we waiting for?</i>



"Okay okay, stop rushing me." Celestine mumbled to herself as she began to turn back towards the changing room. However as she did she saw Rena out of the corner of her eye, staring at Celestine amazed. "Oh... Rena... Hi." Celestine said a bit surprised and flustered by her gaping friend. Rena came closer after a moment as she continued to look Celestine up and down. 



"Damn... forget the skimpy, get this." Rena suggested rather bluntly. 



Celestine couldn't help but giggle a bit. "I am I am. Relax... I'm gonna go change back into my clothes... then I'll get this... okay?" 



Rena nodded quickly. "I should be done changing into mine by the time you're out. Wait for me okay?" Rena asked as she began to head into another of the change rooms. She was carrying some sort of suit, though Celestine could tell there wasn't much material to it...



"I'll be sure to wait for you." Celestine turned back into the booth and began to change back into her clothes. Then again... it was hard to focus as she heard the couple two booths down fucking with slowly growing vigor... She couldn't help but giggle a bit as she finished getting dressed, and could hear the slapping of their flesh against one another... 



Celestine was about leave when she remembered the simpler more covering swimsuit... "Huh... I guess I could buy that just for swimming in Tristan's pool... working out and what have you..." She murmured to herself... unsure for some reason.



<i>Leave it. We don't need that ugly thing... it's beneath us...</i>



Celestine's hand reached out but paused at her inner voice's words... It felt strange... leaving this behind felt like she was leaving a piece of herself behind. But her breath caught when she felt a spectral touch run along her skin, like some ghost was running her fingers down her arm with a feather's touch... Another invisible arm softly wrapped around her waist, and she could feel a thin feminine chin rest gently on her shoulder... 



<i>Please... just leave it... We don't have to be that person... Not anymore...</i>



"Oh god..." Celestine whispered out, clearly afraid... "You... you're getting stronger aren't you? For me to be able to... physically feel you..."



<i>No... that isn't right... <u>WE</u> are getting stronger... we are one person after all... just difference sides of a single soul...</i>



Celestine felt the spectral touch hug her a smidgen tighter. Yet despite the absurdity of it... she somehow felt comforted. Slowly... she withdrew her hand from the bathing suit... and turned away... leaving it there alone in the dim room...

Celestine waited outside the change rooms for Rena as she idly considered what had just happened to her. Her other side had gone silent again and with its silence, its touch seemed to have dissipated as well, though that was probably for the best. Her other side's touch was comforting... but that in itself was something that concerned Celestine. If she was going crazy, this could be a sign of increasing severity...



It was hard to focus though... Celestine could still hear the couple in the booth going at it like rabbits... She could see the bottoms of his legs through the opening a the bottom of the door because he was apparently kneeling down... Given the moans from his girlfriend, it sounded like he was eating her out, and doing a pretty good job of it too... However that all went out of her mind when She heard Rena coming out of her changing room. Instantly Celestine was impressed. Rena hadn't, much to Celestine's surprise, chosen something that left her essentially naked. Instead she chose something akin to a snug tube top and matching thong. Both were a shade of purple that actually matched her eyes quite well. Further, it showed off her tattoo like marks quite clearly, though only Celestine seemed to be able to see the pretty shade of purple which they glowed. 



"So, what do you think?" She asked twirling about before looking into the mirror. 



"It suits you well. Got to admit Rena, I figured you would have chosen something with even less material than that." Celestine commented lightly. 



"I thought about it." Rena admitted. "But after you said that most of those sorts of suits wouldn't work for the water park I figured I'd skip them. Wait... this one will work right?" Rena asked suddenly concerned. 



Celestine nodded lightly. "It should. You are busty enough for that top to be pretty tight so... You shouldn't fall out of it while going down the slide." Celestine grinned lightly and Rena giggled some. "If you want it, change back and we'll get these rung up." Rena nodded and disappeared into the stall again before coming out once more a couple minuets later. Once she was out, Celestine led the two of them to the till and got them paid up. Edmond was waiting near the front, finding that looking out of the store was safer than looking in. 



"Alright. So where to next?" Celestine asked Rena curiously. Rena looked up to her though and shook her head. 



"Actually we are running out of time, and I was hoping to give Edmond his reward before we go to meet Master." Rena explained some. 



Celestine however seemed to get the wrong idea and blushed hard. "Oh! Okay... uhm... I suppose you don't need me around to watch you to go at it... so... Yea... where do you want to meet?" 



Rena cocked her head slightly confused after a moment her face lit up in amusement. "Oh wow! You thought I was gonna fuck him again for a reward huh? And you call me a perv." Rena teased lightly.



"You are a perv." Celestine responded quickly. "But if that isn't what his reward is going to be, then what is?" Celestine asked curiously as they continued to walk. 



"You'll see." Rena grinned before turning to Edmond. "Is she on her way?" Edmond nodded to Rena's question, though Celestine could see the hesitation that was there. "Great." Rena replied with a vicious grin.

"What the fuck is going on here? Edmond, who the fuck are those two bitches?" Her voice came through harsh and accusing... Celestine looked to the woman they had met in the back street behind the Mall. In a heartbeat Celestine could recognize this young woman for what she was... a punk rock chick. Multi-colored hair, plenty of piercings, and lots of dark clothes were apparently standard issue, though the surly attitude and generous dash of cursing seemed to come with the package as well... Celestine normally didn't mind punk rockers, so long as they weren't belligerent for sake of being belligerent. Not everyone was the enemy for crying out loud. Instantly Celestine felt that she didn't like this young woman.



"Gwen, come on, don't freak out. These are... well... uhm... how do I explain this?" Edmond tried, though he was clearly flustered by this woman's words. 



"Well you can begin by begging for forgiveness you fucking shit!" Gwen snapped back. "How dare you two-time on me, and then have the fucking nerve to call me so you can show your new sluts off!" 



"Whoa there." Celestine piped in. "First off, I'm not screwing around with Edmond. Second, how about you don't jump to conclusions like an insecure little girl?" Celestine suggested more firmly than Gwen might have been expecting. 



"Weeellllll..." Rena began, drawing Celestine's attention. "She isn't entirely wrong though..." She said to Celestine.



"Wait... what?" Celestine asked clearly confused. 



"Well I've sucked him off until he came and then fucked him once already and I plan on doing it again at some point." Rena was way to cavalier with her words and she smiled to Gwen as her face went red with anger. Meanwhile Celestine just stared at Rena, confused as to what she was up to...



Gwen nearly exploded right there as she whipped towards Edmond and tore into him. "Oh Fuck all this useless shit!" She promptly slapped Edmond, hard enough to echo lightly in the narrow street... "You think I'll let you get away with this you worthless cocker?! I'll have yer balls mounted on my wall you for this!" Celestine began to hear a distinctly British accent start to surface as Gwen got angrier... She gave Edmond a shove and he thumped against the wall behind him. It might have hurt a normal person... but like Celestine, Edmond bore two demonic marks... He seemed surprised by the fact that it didn't hurt though... Then again Celestine wasn't surprised that Rena didn't explain things to him...



Normally Celestine would say Gwen wasn't wrong for being angry over Edmond's cheating... but given the apparent one way abuse in their relationship, she couldn't exactly take Gwen's side here... Again Celestine looked to Rena and was startled to see her almost purring as she basked in Gwen's anger... "Wait..." Celestine began. "... you set this up so you could feed on her wrath...." Celestine speculated. Rena looked to her and grinned lightly.



However Gwen had begun to lay into Edmond, and was hitting him over and over. Edmond was blocking the majority of the blows quite well though. Gwen was almost frothing at the mouth she was so angry. Eventually Celestine couldn't stand it any more and stepped forwards. "Hey! Stop it already! You aren't hurting him and it's pretty obvious you brought this on yourself if your first reaction to seeing him with other people is to curse him out." Celestine was mildly surprised by her own words... She never thought there would be a circumstance she would be on the cheating boyfriend's side...



Gwen turned towards Celestine and began stomping towards her. Celestine might have been somewhat intimidated once... But something as simple as a normal person was hardly threatening any more... Gwen started waving her finger in front of Celestine's face when she began to berate her. "What the fuck do you know you fucking tramp? huh!? Tell me! Tell me that I deserve to be cheated on after everything I've done for him! But what the fuck am I talking to you for?! What the fuck do you know about integrity or loyalty? You're just a slut who probably bends over and presents herself whenever a man walks by! Tell me something, you keep knee pads with you whenever you go out, just in case the urge to blow some pecker off strikes you?!" 



Celestine began to grind her teeth. Gwen's insinuations were getting on her nerves. Not only because she worked hard not to become what Gwen was suggesting she was, but because as far as Celestine could tell, Gwen was just a small minded person who couldn't stand the thought of Edmond being happy... Especially if it meant he was happy with someone other then her... 



"Hey!" Edmond barked out. "I told you to cool it! She didn't do anything so leave her alone! Yea I screwed around with Rena... But can you blame me? You are so freaking frigid that you hardly let me touch you, and even when you do, it's to get you off and nothing more!" Edmond accused, which drew Gwen's ire once more. Celestine however felt something changing in Edmond... he was angry... that was normal... but at first he was trying to get Gwen to calm down, now it looked like he was set to have a shouting match with Gwen. Celestine reached out with her senses, and she felt something was influencing them both...



Celestine looked to Rena and she couldn't help but feel the power Rena was pressing upon them... She was making them angrier... using her powers to stoke their wrath and make it grow and grow... Much more and the two of them would probably try and kill each other. "Rena! Why are you doing this?!" Celestine asked still confused as to why Rena had set this confrontation up. Feeding off their anger was one thing, but why them? 



However before Rena could reply, Gwen snapped to Rena, eyes wide and wild with anger. "It's all yer fault!" She said stomping towards Rena. "You fucking did this! You made my Edmond betray me!" 



Rena grinned to Gwen. "Yea, I did. He's mine now." Rena was relaxed and utterly confident, and Celestine couldn't help but think that Rena was enjoying the anger she sowed. Gwen had it though, and before Celestine could stop her, she was pulling back to take a swing at Rena. Rena caught the sloppy punch with ease, and quickly used the arm to twist, and force Gwen down onto her knees. "And hey, guess what, now I have you too... Edmond..." Rena said wanting his attention.



"Yes ma'am." Edmond responded quickly, though Celestine could see his anger and hate directed towards Gwen... Gwen was still struggling, anger overcoming self preservation as she fought to be free of Rena's grasp so she could attack her again.



"Get the ropes I told you to bring. Rena ordered simply and Gwen glared to Edmond. 



"Don't you fucking dare you spineless little shit!" Gwen spat out to Edmond, which only seemed to drive him on to do exactly what Rena ordered. Celestine watched as he grabbed the bag that he had been carrying since they first met him at the entrance to the mall, and opened it to reveal a large bundle of rope... "Stop it!" Gwen snapped out as she thrashed and pulled. She even tried hitting Rena again and again with her free hand, but Rena's small frame was surprisingly durable... and she didn't even seem to notice the blows. 



"Now tie her arms up." Rena ordered as she pulled Gwen's hands together painfully. Edmond didn't hesitate in following his orders, and Celestine could overhear him muttering to Gwen that she was going to get it... However Celestine suspected that Edmond didn't really understand what was going on either. Rena manhandled Gwen into lying over a concrete barricade and tied Gwen down so that she couldn't pull herself up. Within moments Rena and Edmond had her legs tied as well, spread a few feet apart. Celestine watched as she realized what Rena had planned....

<hr pg="5" />"Now... puppy..." Rena said playfully as she walked to the front of Gwen and gagged her with a few ropes. "This is only half of your reward for being so good... Can you guess what the other half is?" Rena asked him as she sat along side Gwen, lounging as Gwen struggled to get free... Celestine could feel Rena using her powers on both of them... one to keep Gwen angry, instead of becoming afraid like she should be, and to keep Edmond bold... where a normal person would realize what he was doing and stop...



Edmond looked to Rena curiously, then back to Gwen, clearly unsure. Angry as he might have been, Edmond wasn't a brute by nature. Rena giggled some before continuing. "I told you once before right? That the next time you met your girlfriend, that you should fuck her nice and hard to make up for all the times she never let you get some of her sweet pussy." 



Edmond looked to her stunned and Rena just grinned back, before reaching down and pulling Gwen's skirt up to reveal her ass and panties... With no shame or hesitation whatsoever, Rena quickly tore the panties away, leaving Gwen's pussy and ass on display for Edmond to view. He stood enraptured for a moment and Celestine felt a shift in the power Rena was using on him. She was trying to stoke his lust as well as his rage, so he would happily mount Gwen in a fit of lustful anger... What was worse about it all, was that it was working. 



"Rena..." Celestine whispered out. "Stop this... this is... this is wrong." She reasoned. Though something inside Celestine didn't feel as horrified as she knew she should feel. Yes this was wrong... horrific in fact... but she wasn't screaming or begging for Rena to stop... But at the same time, Celestine didn't think she could stand watching this. 



"Wrong for a mortal perhaps." Rena replied simply. "But this bitch deserves it. She's been taking advantage of Edmond for years Celestine." Rena explained, drawing Celestine's gaze to the small demoness. "You are surprised huh? I've been talking with Edmond in my spare time. He's done everything he could for her, everything he could to make her happy. Yet no matter what he does it just doesn't seem to be enough. He made her the nice clothes she wears, bought her things, tried to help her make friends... everything. But guess what she did in response to all that? She latched on and made sure that no one could get close to Edmond... not even other guys for fuck sakes. Which... by the way," She said turning to Gwen. "is fucking stupid. Edmond is quite strait you frigid bitch." Rena said with a sneer. "Though I could see how hanging out with you would scare him crooked..."



"Fuck you, you little cum sucking whore!" Gwen snarled out. "He doesn't have the balls! He never did and he never will! I protected him! Kept him safe from all the vultures that would have fed off him and used him for his money! I've kept him safe from trash like you! I would have given myself to him one day, when I knew he loved only me! I'm the only one who he should be with! NOT YOU! NO ONE ELSE!" Gwen was literally frothing at the mouth she was so consumed with anger, and Rena looked like she loved it... 



"Puppy..." Rena began, looking to Edmond and speaking in a low husky voice. "My puppy..." She said as she got off the barrier and sauntered over to him. Celestine could see Edmond was half mad with anger and lust... "Aren't you tired of this?" Rena asked as she snuggled up along side him and gently nibbled at his collar bone. "Aren't you tired of all the empty promises this little tart has been making? She's denied you for so long, all the while all she did was take and take and take... Doesn't that make you angry puppy?" Rena asked, almost whispering it into his ear.



"Yes." Edmond growled out as his body shook with anger. 



"Then it's time to balance the scales ... Fuck her... and take it all back..." Rena ordered before stepping back... smiling darkly. 



Celestine started backing away... one step at a time... She couldn't watch this. "Rena... I can't... I just can't. I get... that this is part of who you are, but..." She said to her friend, who was letting her cruelty and darkness run free.



Rena looked to Celestine and smiled lightly. "It's okay Celestine... You don't have to watch if you don't want to..." Rena's voice was not cruel or judging... If anything it seemed like Rena understood...



Celestine nodded and began to stagger away... trying to block out what she heard over the next few minutes. She found she couldn't run. For whatever reason it was just too hard right now... Rena was her friend, and Celestine cared greatly for her... But she knew part of Rena... no... Most of Rena was evil... Rena wasn't all that different from the rest of the demons... She looked down on mortals just like the rest as little more then food. It was only because of what happened when they first met did Rena consider Celestine her friend. It was the only reason she didn't just tear Celestine apart...She rounded a corner and leaned against the wall to try and catch her breath... However she quickly learned that she wasn't far enough away when a new string of obscenities came from Gwen... It didn't matter if Rena was evil or not though... Celestine accepted her, even if she couldn't stomach some of the things she did yet...



Rena watched, literally basking in the anger that poured off Edmond and Gwen. Edmond's rage had a deeper taste, due to the unfulfilled lust that had plagued him for years. Gwen's was far more potent, burning hot and hard as she felt Edmond got behind Gwen and began to unbuckle his belt... Rena watched and almost giggled as Edmond pulled himself out of his pants... At first it was like he was going to be careful not to hurt her... but then he realized what he was doing and came to the conclusion that he wanted to hurt her... 



Rena had to give Gwen credit though, she didn't cry out when Edmond simply forced himself into her pussy in one heavy thrust... Instead she pulled at her bindings even harder... though there was no chance she was going to be able to break free. Even now there were harsh rope burns forming on her flesh as she thrashed and pulled... Edmond basked in the feeling of finally getting his dick into Gwen, before he pulled back and began to fuck her with quickly accelerating thrusts. Rena writhed as she felt Gwen's rage boil at being used like this... and she felt Edmond's lust as he enjoyed Gwen's unwillingly warm folds. He continued to pound her and the wet sounds of flesh slapping sounded loudly in the back street. 



Rena detected the scent of blood and looked down to see red mixed in with juices running down Gwen's pussy. "Oh wow! Way to pop your first cherry puppy!" Rena congratulated as she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. "Go on puppy... Harder... She deserves it, she deserves to be hurt!" Rena's low voice drove Edmond into a near frenzy and Rena was rewarded by the sight of his hands digging into Gwen's flesh so hard that it would leave bruises in her hips... He didn't know his increased strength and she could hear Gwen gasp out in pain as he continued to break her in violently. Rena was surprised at Edmond's initiative though, as one of his hands came up only to come down again in a blur upon her bare ass with enough force to make the spank echo in the narrow back street, quickly followed by the short yelp of angry pain from Gwen... 



When Edmond removed his hand there was a swollen red hand print on Gwen's ass that burned hotly. Gwen continued to try and thrash her way to freedom but it was clear that she wasn't going to break free. However her squirming was making it hard for Edmond to thrust into her effectively... "Stop struggling you heartless bitch!" He snarled out, much to Rena's glee. His hand reached forwards and grabbed a handful of Gwen's hair, pulling back hard and taking her head with it, making it almost impossible for Gwen to move or struggle with any real effectiveness. Rena circled around like a predator as she watched Edmond begin to fuck her again now that he had a proper angle. 



Rena leaned forwards so her face was nearly in front of Gwen as she grinned at the mortal's pain and plight. Her cavalier attitude only stoked the already red hot embers of Gwen's hate. When Rena leaned in too close, Gwen tried to bite at her, but Rena simply darted back while laughing in Gwen's face, clearly mocking her. Rena played that game a few more times before Gwen snorted and readied herself to spit in Rena's face. She never got that far as Rena's fist came across her jaw with enough force to split Gwen's lip wide open. Again Rena's laughter haunted Gwen and she pulled at her bonds, breaking skin and making them run red with blood.



Rena paused in her mocking laughter when she noticed Edmond was grunting harder and shaking hard. "Oh puppy... are you about to cum?" Rena asked playfully before "Do it! Fill this bitch up with your hot spunk!" Rena demanded as she circled around again. Gwen spat curses from her bloody lips, damning them both while swearing that she'd kill them. She continued to curse as she heard Edmond grunt once more and then spill himself into his girlfriend/victim. "Good job." Rena cooed into his ear as she leaned forwards and nipped at his ears. "See? Didn't I tell you that would feel good?" Edmond could only grunt stupidly in response, but Rena could feel his satisfaction. "Good... Now its time to en-... oh my puppy... it looks like you want some more..." Rena said grinning as she watched Edmond pull his cock from Gwen's pussy... only to line himself up with her ass...



Gwen tried to scream out her profanities, but when Edmond forced his way into her ass, Gwen's voice was cut off by grunts of pain as her virgin ass tried to keep him out... She was ultimately unsuccessful though, and within moments Rena could smell blood on the air once more as Edmond broke Gwen... It didn't last long though... Try as he might, Edmond was spent, and eventually had to withdraw. Rena, seeing her minion was finished, withdrew her enraging influence from him. She watched in great amusement as his vision cleared of the red haze she had inflicted upon him and he realized what he had done... "Oh... oh god..." He babbled out, only making Rena laugh again before she kneeled down beside him, admiring his work.



"god? Oh I assure you, if there is a god, he had nothing to do with this..." Rena said playfully into his ear. It was so wrong, hearing her talk like it was all just a fun game, while he stared in dumb confusion at the wrongs he had committed. "Oh don't look so upset puppy... she deserved it... And even if she didn't, you enjoyed it." She leaned forwards and kissed his cheek before walking towards Gwen. Rena reached to the ropes and untied the knots before stepping back and watching what Gwen would do... Really she knew already, but she always got a kick out of it. 



Gwen turned to the two of them... beaten and bloodied... before howling out and hurling herself at Rena. The small demoness smiled, pleased to see the fruits of her works... The Gwen that had once been, was gone... The mortal in front of her was utterly corrupted with rage and hate. Her only goal was to kill those she hated... Gwen leapt at Rena, hands outstretched and fingered curled to try and claw at her target. Edmond was surprised, when he felt a sudden concern for Rena, though he was too slow to do anything about it. But when Edmond saw Rena bury her hand into Gwen's chest with the sound of a butcher's cleaver cutting through meat and bone... it was all he could do but stare in stupid awe... Even as Gwen stood there shuddering in anger with blood spilling from her mouth in unhealthy quantities... 



Rena looked to Gwen grinning like a madwoman... Before she slowly withdrew her hand, pulling out Gwen's heart with it... arteries tearing and spilling gore everywhere... Rena lifted the vital organ above her hungry mouth and squeezed it in front of Gwen's still living eyes. Her strength crushed the still beating organ into pulp, spilling not only blood into Rena's hungry gullet... but the tainted and corrupt soul that once belonged to Gwen...



Gwen fell to the ground in a wet bloody mess, now limp and lifeless... Rena shivered as she absorbed the mortal's soul, and felt all the woman's rage and hate. She let out a long pleased sigh as she felt her power grow... It wasn't a lot... but it was enough... "Tasty." Rena finally said as she turned back to Edmond, a bloody grin on her features. "Get up Puppy... It's time to get the towels and water from the bag, and clean me up." She ordered, in an almost giddy voice. Edmond blinked to her once before he numbly got up and did as he was commanded, getting a towel and rag with a bottle of water to wash away as much of the blood as possible... 



Edmond couldn't help his hands from shivering at what he just witnessed... It was really only then that it set in for him that Rena was really a soul eating demon... And that he was nothing more than her plaything... When he was finished, Rena looked to the corpse she had created and after some searching, found a small man hole to stuff her down before she simply turned and left the back street, Edmond picked up Rena and Celestine's bags before he began to follow, very much like a scared puppy...



~~~~



Celestine leaned against a wall at the mouth of the street... a thin sheen of cold sweat on her brow as she tried to calm down. People walked by without a word or comment as she waited for Rena and Edmond to be done with what they were doing... It was then that Celestine realized that she probably could have just bolted right there. Yes Tristan would be able to track her down... but for a few hours perhaps she would actually be free... Then again, moments after her caught her, she would be dead...



Celestine sighed and tried to gather herself... She had seen Rena kill before... but in that case, she was slaying another demon... not torturing a human. Was Gwen innocent? Celestine doubted it... but she had to wonder if she deserved what she got... Then again, Celestine had to wonder if Helena deserved what she was likely going to receive... It was then that it sunk in that Celestine had condemned someone to death... Yes, that person was a terrible human being but, did that really mean she deserved to die? "What have I done?" Celestine whispered to herself, shocked at her actions...



"...Exactly what you wanted to do... Nothing more, nothing less." Rena said, as she slid up along side Celestine calmly... Celestine looked to Rena slightly startled... She was apparently so lost in her own thoughts that she missed Rena coming up... Celestine looked her over and didn't see any obvious signs that she had killed Gwen... but when Edmond stumbled up as well, a half shocked look on his face, Celestine realized Gwen wasn't amongst the living any more... The scent of blood on Rena confirmed that.



"How can you say that Rena? Someone is going to die because of my actions!" Celestine responded quietly to avoid others overhearing, clearly unsure and lost. She didn't want to admit it... but she was only half horrified because she had actually done it, the rest was because of how long it took for her to realize she had condemned someone to death without even giving it any real thought...



"Probably... But so what?" Rena asked looking to Celestine. "Was she important to you?" Rena asked further. 



"Well... no. Actually I hated her. But that doesn't mean I had any right to condemn her to death!" Celestine argued. 



"And what right did she have to accost and harass you?" Rena asked curiously. She wasn't accusing, but honestly asking. 



"Well... She didn't... I mean she was my boss, but I'm a human being. I deserve to be treated fairly." Celestine reasoned. 



"And she wasn't treating you fairly. But no one was going to stop her... were they?" Rena asked again. 



"Well... no. It was just my word against hers..." Celestine answered.



"So then you had to do something. Otherwise you were going to be stuck like that forever. Frankly Celestine... I don't think what you did was wrong. Hell, I would say it was admirable." Rena said with a slight smile. 



"Admirable? How exactly was that admirable?" Celestine asked stunned. 



"You stood up for yourself, even though you knew 'normal' society would shun you if they knew the truth. But to hell with them! You are above them. Better than them. And these here..." Rena reached out and gently touched around Celestine's navel and the small of her back, sending a slight tingle through Celestine's demonic marks. "Are proof of that..." Rena finished, confident in her reasoning. 



Celestine just looked on to her friend slightly confused... She knew what she did was wrong... but somehow she was still comforted by Rena's words... The things she had witnessed Rena doing moments ago didn't seem quite so severe any more... and she let it go... No matter what she did now, it was done. And if nothing else, this might impress Tristan, especially if he believed as Rena did. That would bring her one step closer to earning the third mark... and that much closer to striking back against him. She realized that she would have to steel herself to do what was needed... Even if that meant making sacrifices...



"Okay... well... thank you. I feel better now..." Celestine said smiling to Rena, whom returned the smile with one of her own. "But what now? Do we head back to the restaurant?" Celestine asked curiously. 



"Nah... Master is waiting for us in the car. It's near the restaurant though so we'll head that way. Puppy?" Rena said, turning to Edmond. "Give me the bags. You can go run along now; I'm done with you for today." Edmond blinked once, confused at her words. But a moment later he simply handed over the bags and left... clearly no longer in the mood to argue with Rena... Rena didn't watch him go, but instead just headed out, Celestine following her as she wondered what scars had been left on Edmond's soul. 



~~~~



Celestine stood stunned as she watched the scene unfold in front of her... Marie, the waitress she had tried to warn away, was shuddering in ecstasy, back arched and stripped almost completely naked... Her head was lulled back as her mouth hung open in a silent scream of what was likely a crushing climax, which was clearly caused by Tristan's erect cock, buried deep inside her velvet folds... Celestine watched as the silver haze of what Celestine knew was Marie's soul... corrupted by what Celestine somehow knew was lust, drained out of her body from her open mouth. It shuddered and flitted towards Tristan's waiting hand, where it gathered and collected, forming a glowing sphere of tainted light...



As the last of her soul left her body, Marie gave one last shuddering gasp before letting it out in a long slow satisfied sigh... And despite knowing what was happening to Marie... Despite knowing that she had been turned into little more than a cock sock for Tristan to play with and then discard at his leisure... Celestine felt a pang of some unwelcome hateful emotion run through her... She had told Marie to stay away... How dare she pursue it further! Pursue him further... 



Celestine stopped suddenly at her own thoughts, and had to force them down again... stomping the unwelcome emotion into oblivion through sheer force of will. She had to regain control over herself. If she let herself feel like that she would lose sight of her goal... Yet despite pushing it aside, Celestine knew what this feeling was... It was jealousy, and how she hated herself for feeling it... Celestine had to look away and close her eyes tightly... Trying to force the images out of her mind as part of her undeniably wished she was the one his cock was buried deep inside... 



After a few moments she pushed the thoughts out, refocused and tried to come back to herself... She realized what Tristan had done... He had killed Marie... He had corrupted the innocent young woman who had served them and then he consumed her... He preyed on her innocence, and used it to his advantage. Celestine let herself feel anger at him for his horrific act... She let her anger scour away any desires she might have felt and reasserted her personal control... This close she could feel his satisfaction and lingering euphoria after having had sex with Marie. Given his lingering emotions Celestine could only guess he had been screwing her for at least an hour, but probably more... However she also noticed a new flair of desire began to burn in him... As much as Marie sated him, he wanted something else... And he wanted it much more then he ever did Marie... 

<hr pg="6" />"Celestine." His voice snapped her out of her thoughts like a bolt of lightning, and despite herself she was looking at him almost instantly... She realized her heart was thumping hard in her chest and she felt a shock of excitement run through her. Which was made worse when she realized he was standing right in front of her. Despite herself, seeing him so close, and feeling his emotions made her realize that he wanted her, and that single thought seemed somehow to push everything else out of her head for a long moment as she basked in that knowledge and his gaze.



She mentally slapped herself a moment later, as she again tried to reestablish control over herself. It was hard though... with him standing right there in front of her... She couldn't help but detect his aroma that made her feel warm and gave her the desire to reach out and touch him, though she resisted. Soon she got herself back under control and responded. "W-...What?" It all she could manage at first and she cursed herself and the confident smile that grew on his face at her question. 



"I was just curious if you enjoyed your shopping trip?" Tristan asked as he began to move... As much as she planned on answering him, she became distracted as he began to put his cock and balls back into his pants... removing them from her view as he spoke calmly. 



Celestine reacted quickly though, not letting the distraction work for long. "The shopping was fine... Me and Rena saw plenty and enjoyed the use of your money." Celestine replied firmly, pleased to hear that her voice didn't waver as she stomped out her desires. 



"Good." Tristan replied before getting back into the car. The thump of the trunk closing startled Celestine as Rena put their bags inside the car before going around and sitting in the front passenger seat. Marie had been moved out of the car, and was lying limply naked along a grungy wall. 



"What... what about her?" Celestine asked, pitying Marie for her poor choices... Tristan glanced back to her. 



"Oh... Clean up will be by in a few minuets to see to the body." Tristan said with prefect calm. 



"I see..." Celestine mumbled simply as she regarded Marie for another moment... Even now, her face was one of satisfied ecstasy... Shaking her head, Celestine realized that it seemed like they were about to leave. But as she moved to get into the car, she paused, before glaring at Tristan. 



"What?" he asked innocently... 



"You are sitting in the opposite seat to the one where you were screwing Marie." Celestine announced coldly, anger boiling up in her slowly. 



"Uhm... yes... what of it?" Tristan asked, still playing the innocent. 



"I'm not going to sit in a seat where you've left your love stains you asshat." Celestine growled out.



Tristan glanced to the opposite seat and chuckled, seeing the dampness that was left there. He looked back to Celestine. "Then we'll have to open the trunk Celestine... I have to tell you, this cab has been well used. Though I assure you, Claude sees to its cleaning regularly. It has that brand new car smell every week or so." Tristan explained calmly, like that made it better. 



"TRISTAN!" Celestine snapped out, fists shaking at her sides as his games were becoming too much... But her anger suddenly faltered when he gave her that impressed but wanting smile... She stood outside the car for a moment, not giving ground, until eventually Tristan chuckled once more and moved to the opposite seat, apparently not minding the dampness. 



Celestine slid into the car quickly and closed the door, her sour mood fighting with her attraction towards him...

Ivy's lash came down for the thousandth time upon Sig's flesh, adding new welts to a hide already covered with them... Ivy had to stagger back and catch her breath as she observed Sig. He struggled against the bonds she had trussed him up in as he shuddered in pleasure and cum erupted from his cock once again... They had been at this for hours... And Ivy had to admit she was getting tired... And for a demon that specialized in this sort of thing... that was saying something... The floor in front of Sig was stained with dozens of white puddles of cum... but much to Ivy's vexation... she could tell Sig wasn't satisfied... 



"More Madam! PLEAE more!" he begged and she had to wonder what the hell happened to him... She had tied him up, beaten him, whipped him, told him he was scum and garbage in every conceivable way the human language currently had to offer... Hell, she even brought out one of her big guns and toyed with electrocution... But it didn't seem like it was enough... Sig was never satisfied... He may have ejaculated... and in a spectacular fashion for a mortal, but something was wrong with him. He never could reach a truly fulfilling climax... 



Ivy had long since completed the objectives Lord Durial had laid out for her... Sig had finished the paperwork and sent it through... But she had professional pride to consider here... Not only as a succubus, but as a dominatrix, she knew that she couldn't really call it done unless both sides were truly satisfied. Yes she could just rip out his soul, but that was something the brutish wrath or gluttony demons did... not something an elegant demoness of lust would... 



Still... she could see there wasn't much left of Siegfried left... Most of his mind was gone... burned away into little more than mad lust... Ivy didn't feel pity for Sig... He was a human, and every word she said suggesting he was trash, she completely believed to be true. Still, this was pathetic... She let out a long sigh and went back to work, deciding that with the next orgasm she would 'liberate' his soul from him and consume it. 



She didn't enjoy her work though... knowing he couldn't reach actual satisfaction robbed much of the pleasure out of it... but when he finally reached climax again she began to coax his soul free and collect it in her hands... Siegfried died slowly, shooting blanks as his genitals simply had no more to give...



She held his soul up to appraise for a few moments... To a mortal, it would look like an ugly thing... seeping with fetid light, stained and despoiled beyond even sympathy... But to Ivy... it was a treat worth savoring... She consumed his soul slowly, scooping away pieces of it with her fingers as she curled up in a love seat. It almost looked like she was having a bowl of ice cream... the way she savored every morsel. She could feel the power of his soul being absorbed by her own, and making her own power grow. But when she got about halfway through, Ivy noticed something concerning...



The remaining bits of Sig's soul had something...growing in it? It looked like black slimy roots were slowly spreading through it. Somehow Ivy instinctually knew that whatever that was, she did not want to eat it... She curiously tried to poke and pick at it, in hopes of removing the invading 'thing' from her meal... But as soon as her finger touched it, Ivy felt a jolt of searing pain run up her arm and she jerked away, leaping nearly halfway across the room as the half consumed ball of light fell back towards Sig's corpse. 



"Son of a BITCH!" Ivy swore as she inspected her hand... There didn't appear to be any damage but it still stung badly. Instantly she felt cheated out of a perfectly good meal, but after a few moments realized where the half eaten soul had gone... "Oh fuck me..." She cursed worriedly, as she realized the corrupt soul had returned to Sig's body. "Okay... calm down... the chance of it turning into a hell spawn is nearly zero... right? Of course it is." Ivy reassured herself. She went to go collect the only weapon she had from her chest so she could decapitate the corpse... "Come on... I know you're in here somewhere." Ivy muttered as she sorted through the chest of BDSM toys and tools of her trade. 



However a sudden shuddering thump from behind her made Ivy freeze... "... Fuck me sideways..." Ivy whimpered to herself as her heart began to thunder in her chest in fear. She quickly tried to reason with herself... Even if Sig turned into a Hell Spawn, she should be able to take him down... She was a demon after all... Taking a steadying breath she turned to look at the corpse... and found that it was still hanging in the harness, completely still. 



"Wha?... Wait... it takes hours for a Hell Spawn to be born... I have plenty of time..." Ivy slumped down and let out a long sigh of relief... glaring at the corpse annoyed, squeezing the handle of the only weapon she actually owned beyond her powers as a demon. It was a sickle of sorts, and while Ivy didn't use it in real combat often, it was something she practiced with regularly, and it was a hell of a lot better than her meager claws... Ivy transformed into her true form, even though she knew it did little to actually make her any stronger. But hey... every little bit right? 



Ivy stepped up to the corpse and swung hard for Sig's neck. The blade bit in deeply and Ivy had to use her foot to pry it free from Sig... The wet sucking sound it made upon exit made Ivy's skin crawl. "Better crawling skin than risk a hell spawn pulling my skin off..." She muttered to herself, before she swung again from the opposite side. All that was left was the spine holding the head on and she believed one more swift strike would finish her work... 



Ivy pulled back to swing with all her might but stopped dead in her tracks when she realized Sig's eyes were wide open... and they were following her movements. "Oh shit..." Ivy whispered out as she backed off a step... However as she watched... the white dead eyes seemed to be invaded by thousands of tiny black tendrils... making Sig's eyes appear like black balls of obsidian... "Oh double Shit..." Ivy said as she took another step back. In another moment she began to see black lines zig zagging under his flesh and spreading throughout his body, leaving only pale white flesh behind where the black lines did not spread. Ivy was thankful that Sig was still trussed up in and couldn't move at all... Whatever the hell was happening, she sure as shit didn't like it... When the thing opened its mouth, black flames began to lick out from the dark opening and Ivy could begin to smell the stink of burning flesh... Within moments blackened flesh began to slump off the creatures body... replaced by blue glowing bones and black flames that seemed to seep from the tendrils that held the bones together in a roughly humanoid shape... 



As it was changing, Ivy realized the flames were burning through the bindings holding it back... And it was beginning to hiss and howl at her... Sig's eyes had long since burst, leaving only two silvery points of light shrouded in black fire that glared out of the otherwise empty skull... What was worse, if it didn't break free soon, the decreased mass would simply allow the creature to step out of the bindings that held it... It was literally now or never. Ivy grit her teeth and readied to swing once more, but a hateful hiss from the creature made her jump back again. 



"OH come on! Why the fuck is this happening to me!?" She pleaded with it...though it was clear the creature didn't understand... "Oh fuck it!" Ivy swore and leapt forwards swinging her blade as hard as she could... Unfortunately one of the creatures' arms broke free and deflected the blow, sending burning chips of bone scattering over the floor. Ivy stared at the bits and then back to the creature just in time to avoid a swipe of the bony hand. 



Ivy lashed out wildly and caught the arm at the elbow, and amputated the arm in a single blow. "HA!" She cried out at the creature triumphantly. But her celebration was cut short when she realized the creature was still breaking free. "Oh come on!" Ivy swung hard again and again, each blow aiming for its head. She didn't know if that would actually kill it or not but it was her best shot... Unfortunately each blow only rang off the head with a dull 'klud' sound. "Why won't you die?!" Ivy screamed at it as she swung with all her might. But for every blow she landed, more and more straps and buckles failed... 



"No no no no!" Ivy paniced as it began to pull itself free. "JUST. FUCKING. <i>DIE</i>!" She wailed, as she put everything she had into one final blow. Ivy poured her demonic power into the weapon, or at least as best as she could. She wasn't a warrior, and doing such things were by no means a normal thing for her. Still, she was rewarded for her efforts as the blade glowed a dark red before connecting with the monster in front of her... Detonating the skull and blowing her blade apart in the process...



The small explosion sent Ivy tumbling onto her ass, but as she looked up to the creature, it suddenly went limp... Ivy stared dumbly for a long moment and began to giggle almost hysterically. "Well fuck me! Who would have thought I could do that!" She continued laughing until she realized the creature was still burning. "Uh... shit... do I need a fire extinguisher or something?" 



In answer to her question, the creature twitched once... before it began to curl in on itself... the flames suddenly being drawn in... A new wave of panic washed over Ivy as the sound of the air being sucked into the core of the creature began to sound... She got up and leapt over her couch hiding behind it for cover... Just as the fiery creature detonated with enough force to blow out every window and door in her high rise loft and burn everything to cinders within ten feet...



Ivy staggered to her feet and looked around... stunned and terrified... Her place was a ruin... every window was gone and she had a ringing in her ears that she hoped would go away soon. Looking to where the creature was, she realized the entire wall had been blown out, and now left a very big hole where the wind was howling through...



"Shit.... Shit SHIT <i>SHIT</i>!" Ivy cursed to herself. This was supposed to be an easy job... Get Sig to do his work and then eat his soul... Easy! Instead Ivy got a cluster fuck and Sig turned into... wait... what did he turn into? That sure as hell wasn't a Hell Spawn. Hell Spawn don't tend to blow up when you decapitate them... Ivy looked to the blast site and found a few fragments of bone lodged into the walls... Making sure not to touch them directly she collected a few bits and then decided to salvage what she could from her home before getting the hell out of there. 



Cops would be coming soon and she didn't want to deal with them. Then again... worse things could be coming then cops if something else sensed the explosion... Ivy didn't stick around to find out... She left and headed for one of her clients homes... She would give them a freebie to stay a few days... She would report this to Lord Durial... but not now... She had to lay low for a while to keep it from getting back to him...
