Alexandra’s POV

As Katrina and I drove through the city, I stared out the window, watching the scenery.

It was nice being out and feeling the fresh air. Well. The car was the only one feeling it, though. The Air conditioning was on full blast in the car.

Katrina and I had gotten to the bar. We unceremoniously walked in.

Heads turned when we did.

It wasn’t your usual bar; it was the type of bar that, once in a while, would welcome celebrities. Although Katrina wasn’t an intricate member of high society, she still had her status and wealth. Her mother had enough influence.

Katrina and I took a seat at the bartender’s counter. The bartender offered a dashing smile as he asked for our order. I ordered champagne.

Even Katrina flinched when we made eye contact.I glared at the bartender. I stared at him as if I were staring at a corpse. He would be if he didn’t immediately explain to me what he had fed my wife.He flinched as he tried to defend himself."I didn’t do anything really; look, this was all I served her, nothing else!"

    Adrian’s POVDo you know what a succubus is?A succubus.The supernatural entity that appears in dreams to seduce men, usually through sexual activityThe female demon from medieval folkloreMany anthropologists and psychologists believe the explanations of succubus and incubus to be supernatural explanations for sleep paralysis and hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations.In dreams? Only in dreams?I concur. If Succubuses only appeared in our dreams, then how could I see one before me while I was awake?Maybe I was hallucinating. Because I was slowly losing my mind to the seductions and temptations of a Succubus. A weak and reactive succubus, but a temptress nonetheless.I could only watch, transfixed, as Alexandra seduced me.

    Narrator's POVPenelope stared hard and long at the grotesque sight before her.She frowned. The buff man beside her noticed her frown and went forward to cover up the culprit.It was the bartender, bundled up in a wooden box. His body was marred with bloodied puncture holes. It was horrific. Not a good sight to see. There was a dried blood trail from one of the bartender's eyes; it rolled all the way down his cheek. The bartender was barely breathing; if one didn't notice his slow and shallow breaths, you would think he was dead.The buff man covered the box."Carlos, Take him to the hospital and get him treated. Tell me when he wakes up. Take photos of his current condition as well. Who knows, we might be able to use this."
