INTRO:

Female demons, demonesses, are not all that common among the depths of hell or the realm of earth. For the simple reason that demons are not interested in producing offspring, at least unless they find their intended mate. When demons do reproduce with one another they are tied together by a bond but must remain in close proximity if they want the pregnancy to succeed, mate or no which is why many choose not to be hindered or weakened by a bond to another spawn of hell or look elsewhere to sate their needs. If the male leave during the pregnancy in most cases the pregnancy is miscarried or is stillborn, which is the cause for the low rate of females for only demonesses can produce female demons. Every demon has a mate intended for them but that doesn't guarantee they will ever find them or accept them, the pull of a mate is extremely strong once found but it takes an equally strong demon that can control their power to not kill their mate, especially if they are human. Many demons accidently or purposely kill their human mates but any species has the potential to be mated to a demon because of the rarity of demonesses. When a demon does find themselves with a demon mate it is one hell of a match…

Kiora was named for the darkness she was born into, one of the only female demonesses to be born in several centuries and no one knew, or would know for that matter. It is not wise to shout from the rooftops that you have a very rare and sought-after object in your possession, and so her parents did not. Not that her mother would last long to protect the little girl, for she even mated was highly sought-after in the demon world which constantly caused her and her mate problems. After the death of her mother Kiora's father watched and protected her but only for the sake of her survival, demons aren't prone to paternal affection especially her father. After her body had physically matured enough with her powers she was left to her own devices in the human realm for hell was teaming with demons who could find out about her existence and her father who's resolve was weakening as his demon nature took over, falling into sinful thoughts for his only daughter.

Kiora's POV:

In the human realm the year is 1800, having been on Earth for 100 years and the demon realm for 50 I am considered relatively young for a demon although I have reached my maturity several decades ago. I may be considered a young in demon eyes but in this world, I resembled a 17-year-old which by the human's standards is no longer a child, Unlike with my kind being a female in this world had its advantages, at least in the aspect of consuming souls. Humans are easily fooled by a pretty face, or easily fall into sin to possess that pretty face, most of my meals come from filthy minded men who can only imagine what they would do with a weak beautiful girl like me. My meals flock to me and barely ask for anything in return, I barely lift a finger. I haven't been in lasting contract since my first arrival in this realm because men so easily offer their souls to me.

My hands clutched the front of the young man's shirt as his strength was giving out and he slowly went limp in my hands. From afar it looked like a young couple enjoying a romantic night near the river, which was far from what was actually happening. He had approached me along the banks of the river without knowing what I was, the only indicator being the unnatural light lavender eyes I possess.

"Hello Madam, I err…wanted to see if you were okay, whether you needed assistance returning to your ho-" He was at a loss for words when I turned my head to pierce him with my gaze. I was contemplating whether to have his soul as a dessert or not, If I indulged myself this treat I would need to leave this area and move to the next. I didn't want to bring too much attention to myself in case another supernatural being picked up on my wake of death and destruction, encountering any supernatural being would be a headache and more trouble than I need.

"Why yes, thank you sir" I smiled innocently, I held my hand out to the young man for him to help me up from my sitting position. I smiled seductively "May I ask your name, sweet gentleman?"

He took hold of my hand and brought me to a standing position as he said, "Samuel Malady…you shouldn't be out so late at night without someone to accompany you, there have been many murders these last six months." He actually looked worried for me as I couldn't help but chuckle and smile slightly.

"What is amusing m'lady?" Samuel asked confused, he wasn't aware that no one could see us down on the banks of the river from the village.

"I have you dear Samuel, I already feel much safer," I smiled charmingly at him. "What kind of lady would I be if I didn't reward the gentleman that came to my rescue?"

Samuel smiled brightly back, "May I ask your name m'lady?"

My eyes glinted with danger and interest, "Of course dear Samuel, as long as you never tell another soul" I brought my body closer to his. He was already wrapped in the trance of my powers, he didn't need much more prodding before I consumed his soul.

"I promise m'lady, I would neve-" He wasn't able to finish the sentence for I kissed him, he was stunned for a second but return his enthusiasm into the kiss. I clutched at the front of his shirt to pull him deeper into the kiss as I slowly felt his life's energy drain, I was savoring this one, he was a pure soul that didn't have a hint of sin as most humans do. He simply was finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong woman. As the rest of his soul filtered into mouth his body gave away I pulled back from the delicious kiss, "It is Kiora, my sweet"

I dropped his body just as quickly as I had consumed his soul, it was time to move again. I had now overstayed my welcome in this area with another meal, and the only thing that brought about the feeling of terror into my body was being discovered by another supernatural being. I could already sense a death god within 100 miles of my current position, I stayed on edge as I traveled to the London countryside.
