To catch the Half Breed Heart (Closed)

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane was pissed by the final exchange but said nothing to Lyria and watched her go before climbing into his Jeep and heading off. He drove in no direction the top down and radio blaring thinking about the night and it's strange events.

"Who had she threatened and why?" He turned down the road that would eventually take him home to the small boat he lived on parked bay side. It was quiet and Dane loved the water but tonight he didn't think he would find any relaxation to many questions not enough answers.

He arrived home and walked in talking off his weapons and then his clothes. He ran the water hot in the shower till it was steaming and stepped inside.

He let the water run down his toned athletic body and tried to think of anything or anyone else than Lyria. He was even considering asking the Chief to take him off the case as it was just starting to piss him off that and well he really liked her. She didn't seem to have any feelings of the sort she barely tolerated him so no use and going down that line of thinking. He also didn't want it to end badly and after tonight that was exactly what looked like might happen.

He stood there in the shower and finally slide down against the wall sitting under the hot water lost in thought.

 

[Asa]

The strange woman that gave Jacob the note now stood before the seated Dane. How better to cause trouble and strife than to mess with the mortal. To make Lyria's life even more difficult with the human.

You have feelings for the female half breed... How entertaining...

 

[Nyghtcaller]

You have feelings for the female half breed... How entertaining...

The words spoken by a female voice caused Dane's eyes to open with a flourish and he was on his feet instantly.

"Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?" Dane moved to open the shower door and stepped outside his eyes scanning for his gun. It was fairly dark in the small bathroom as he hadn't turned on many lights and he felt vulnerable standing there naked. Unfortunately she was between him and his weapon as he realized that he had taken it off in the living area.

Dane looked the woman over as best he could in the dim light noticing she didn't seem to be armed and was very attractive and a look of seduction about her that he had never seen in a woman. She wasn't as beautiful as Lyria but she looked like she was made for sex.

Resigned to the situation he stood before her and crossed his arms unashamed of being naked in front of this strange intruder.

"It was you on the bridge wasn't it and what's this crap I keep hearing about half breed?"

 

[Asa]

She laughed and stepped closer...

Humans always have so many questions... Let's just say that they are... Not quite like you... Or me.

Her eyes locking into his as her mind scanned lightly through his looking for the signature of the lust powers of Lyria. If he had been affected this would be easy.

But that is not what you really want to know now is it? You want to know... Perhaps how to get Jacob out of the way?

 

[Nyghtcaller]

"What in the world are you talking about humans have so many questions? What else would have questions dogs?"

He felt a faint tickle in his mind and concentrated hard to figure out what the strange sensation was. He found himself standing on precipice looking down into some type of void. He could hear a voice almost as soft as a whisper.

It was Lyria's voice calling to him, "Dane, Oh Dane". A feeling of passion, a feeling of want, desire and yes lust. But it wasn't just between his legs but coming from somewhere else in his body. His soul perhaps, his mind he wasn't sure. But it there was other feelings there as well. Love, compassion, kindness these seem to be more from the heart.

Dane felt an erection building again like the other night it came out of the blue for no real reason. The void erupted into nothing and saw the strange woman standing before him once more.

"What do you mean get rid of Jacob why would I want to do that?" Dane shift slightly hoping she wouldn't notice his growing manhood.

 

[Asa]

She laughed.

Do you not think he is a threat to you winning the female halfbreed?

She reached a hand up to touch his face to keep him focused on her. Her own magic faintly revealing fangs and horns as if ghostly images surrounding her.

Or do you want something else right now?

 

[Nyghtcaller]

"Stop calling her that she is a woman like any other like you", his voice trailed off.

Seeming to materialize out of thin air this woman grew fangs and "no fucking way" he thought horns?

Her hand was on his cheek and her touch sent sensations through his body that caused his erection to grow even more.

Dane swallowed and spoke though his voice sounded forced and he was a bit unsure of himself. "I'm not trying to win anyone or anything just solve a case and what kind of trick is this. God I must be dreaming or someone slipped some bad juju in my drink."

When she asked if he wanted something else at the moment his body screamed yes and even his mind was waging a battle within.

He stood there transfixed her hand on his cheek unable to take the next step and unable to push her back.

 

[Asa]

She laughed at his protest of her calling Lyria a half breed.

Perhaps you are less Interested in her right now... Maybe there is something you want more right now than her...

She stepped closer still to him till there was barely a breath between them.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane reached up to touch her hand on his cheek then his other hand moved to her hip. He pulled her hard into him and leaned in to kiss her but there was a nagging in the back of his mind that wouldn't go away. He stopped less than an inch separated their lips.

"Look lady you are beautiful but I just don't think this what I really want." He tried to pull back step away but couldn't move he could only stare and he looked down at her breasts noticing he could see the form of her nipples through the fabric of her clothing.

His erection grew and was pressing slightly against her and he either needed to run or have his way with this woman.

 

[Asa]

She smirked.

Then why don't you walk away or ask me to leave? Maybe that's not what you want after all?

She stared into his eyes with a smile that held sex encouragement a promise of pleasure

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane started backing her up to the wall his lips barely touching her own. He reached down raising one leg so that her knee was at his hip. He leaned in and pressed his lips against her neck.

Suddenly an image of Lyria ran through his mind and he pushed back away from her.

"Get out of my house whatever you are. I don't want you so just go and don't come back."

His entire body was shaking from the exertion but at least his erection of a few seconds ago was starting to dwindle ever so slightly.

 

[Asa]

With a laugh she was gone leaving only the feeling of fingernails down his chest and a soft tongue tracing up his manhood and chest.

Lyria had burned through all the inflicted power as she and Jacob laid there on his bed. Jacob suddenly sat up like a lightning strike. Muscles tensed as he looked around and quietly got dressed and headed to the parish early. The two usual suited "muscle" priests stood there and tried to puff up as he walked up but due to his eyes and what they knew of what was going on they let him pass.

We have to bring the cop in... Actually no... We WILL be enlightening the cop.

We will not approve that.

Barked out the round bishop until the aged man at the head of the table raised his hand. He understood better how to handle the slippery agreement they had with Jacob and Lyria.

I will approve him being shown the truth on one condition... Proof he is not a victim of her power.

Jacob laughed.

She barely accepts his presence so no worries there.

With that he walked out of the room and back home. House was empty Lyria vanished again he chuckled and went back to bed for a bit.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

The woman or whatever she was left just as quickly and silently as when she had appeared. The feelings of sex and lust was beginning to wane but it still lingered in the air all around him.

Dane dressed quickly his mind attempting to make sense of this entire crazy evening he had experienced. Nothing made sense anymore his basic beliefs were being shaken and challenged. He had never believed in the supernatural never considered it to be more than some vehicle for a Hollywood producer to make money.

The reasonable part of his mind was stilling telling him there was a mundane explanation for all of this. But there was another part that was telling him there was an entire world out there he knew absolutely nothing about.

He wanted to talk to Lyria no he wanted to see her not just because he had questions but he wanted to know she was alright. For whatever reason he was having some feelings for this woman or "half-breed" as everyone kept calling her. It wasn't like she had done anything to make him feel this way he just did. The strange visitor for moments ago was correct he did want to win her but not by taking anyone out.

He walked out on the boat deck gazing across the water as the moon shone brightly off the waves. He sat down in a chair gazing up at the stairs waiting for sleep to take him.

 

[Asa]

Lyria finally woke up and remembered what had happened. Jacob had been a great help. He always was a big help to her but she found herself thinking about Dane. Had he been affected by her power or what was going on.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

The morning sun broke and began to beat down upon Dane as he slept on the deck of his boat. Sweat began to bead up on his forehead and soon he was awake and it seemed like any other normal morning but then it all came back to him.

The trip to old town, the discussion in the parking lot and how Jacob rushed him away from Lyria and finally the event of what had happened with the strange woman here.

He needed some answers and this time he wouldn't take no for an answer.

Grabbing his phone he called the church leaving a message for the arch bishop that he needed urgently to speak with Lyria and left his cell number.

 

[Asa]

She was at the meeting when the call came in and she grumbled a little until she was told it was up to her and to Jacob how he was brought in to the truth of what was really going on.

Fine tell him to meet us at the club.

The Archbishop waited till he went to meet with the chief to deliver the message.

The club was mostly empty save for mostly staff and a few patrons who knew Lyria. She sat at her usual table with Jacob and waited.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane walked into the club and spotted the pair seated at the same place the night before the big difference was the amount of people and the noise level. Thankfully no band was performing and he could actually hear himself think.

Dane took a seat across from Lyria and locked eyes with her for just a second. His heart seemed to skip a beat and he was glad to see she was well. He looked over at Jacob and nodded a greeting to him.

"Look guys last night was plain fucking weird. If what happened with you two wasn't enough I got paid a little visit by some woman with damn horns and fangs and know I wasn't dreaming. So I think I'm overdue for a few answers here and by the way Lyria I'm glad that you are alright."

 

[Asa]

Lyria nodded as Jacob seemed to growl hearing he was right. Lyria thought for a moment before taking a deep breath.

What all did she tell you?

Lyria's eyes began to change a little... First darkening then seeming to glow. Jacob followed suit as his eyes seemed to turn red and glow.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

"She said that a lot of stuff that made no sense calling you half-breeds and calling me a human as if she wasn't and I'm inclined to believe that after seeing her well her attachments."

He noticed the weird tricks that the lighting was playing on Jacob's and Lyria's eyes but continued.

"She also suggested that I might want to get Jacob out of the way so that I could be with you suggested that perhaps I have feelings for you. She then basically offered herself to me sexually. I don't have a girlfriend or wife so I'm basically a lonely guy but I have never felt such an urge to have sex with anyone before. It wasn't that I even wanted her I didn't it was more like something else I'm not sure what. I have no clue what might have happened if I had gone down that road but I do no that thoughts of you Lyria kept me from her so thank you I guess."

 

[Asa]

She was a succubus... A sex demoness and yes that would have been bad. As for why she calls us half breeds... Is a long story. The murders in this town have only one thing truly in common and that is some of the original fallen elders have come unbound. Which means they are free to roam the earth and create offspring with unsuspecting or willing mortals.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

This was not the explanation he was expecting not anywhere close to what she was telling him.

"Lets just assume for a moment I believe this crazy story why would these fallen elders want to have offspring with human women?" Dane felt silly for asking the question as it sounded so preposterous.

"Another question why in the world would a Succubus you called her want to come visit me?"

 

[Asa]

Get a foothold in this world and how better than to create chaos from the shadows than to have offspring who can move among the mortals freely looking just like them.

She realized the eyes did not give him any clue so her hand resting on the table now began to grow claws looking more a human hand than most others of her kind. Jacob's eyes remained red growing darker in color but brighter in glow.

As for why she would go to you... You are human... To her that means easy prey.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Watching Lyria's fingers produce claws startled Dane and he stood up suddenly not sure what to do or say. He then realized that their eyes wasn't reflecting light in some strange way but was actually glowing red.

"OH HELL, I know you just didn't grow claws and I thought the light was only catching your eyes."

Dane calmed himself and sat back down though he watched Lyria cautiously. "To think that I wanted to ask you out for dinner when this was all over", he said with a laugh.

"Alright I would still like to have dinner with you red shiny eyes and claws included."

He laughed at his own joke if nothing else than to calm his nerves a bit. "So if I was such easy prey why am I still here?"

 

[Asa]

She actually laughed a little.

My mother was one of those unfortunate souls who found themselves giving birth to the offspring of a fallen demon. The guy with very hair from the other night... Is my father. The succubus is one of his minions... She can not kill without permission.

She let her hand to back to normal as well as her eyes.

As for dinner... Whatever prompted that and refusing her over me is what made you prey.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Suddenly the half-breed thing made sense to Dane and he looked at Lyria but it wasn't a look of fear, disgust or pity.

"I wanted to go to dinner with you because I like you. The same reason that people go out to dinner all the time companionship. I know you would probably say no as it is obvious you don't like me very much I probably stand a better chance getting Jacob to out to dinner with me."

Dane thought for a second, "So how does refusing her make me prey?"
