Chapter 1
Bo sat in the classroom and watched the clock. It was Friday afternoon and she really wanted to go and do something fun. The seconds seemed to last minutes. This was her last year at the school and she was more than ready to get out. She was told that she would have to take some kind of final succubus test before she could finish school and be allowed to use her charms. She wondered what the test might consist of. Her teacher was strange and had had her and her classmates do some interesting things to humans and other Fae in the past. She had been taught to use her charm to get them to give her what she wanted although many times she never liked using her abilities that way. She knew she was a succubus and she should want to use her powers but sometimes it felt wrong to manipulate others but other times she kind of enjoyed it. That was what scared her most.
"So it is getting close to the end of the year and I think that it is time that I gave you your final test before you graduate," Bo heard that teacher say and she broke out of her own thoughts and looked up. "It might take you until the end of the year to complete this but the quicker you do it the better you grade will be. Of course the person whom you pick to perform this last test on will also affect how I grade you. The more aloof or untouchable your target it the better you will do. Humans are not an option for this one. Your target has to be another Fae. They can attend this school however but be careful about picking someone too close to you already. This might sound cruel to some of you but it has been a tradition at the school for years and all the staff are aware that it has to happen. Your final test will be to find a Fae whom you have not had a relationship with and get them to fall in love with you without falling in love yourself. Charm will not create love but it will help. A succubus's best weapon is her charm and sex but that will only get you so far. They have to love you," Ms. Jones said as she looked around the classroom.
"What?" Bo said in outrage. "You have to be kidding? That's cruel and I will not be a part of it!"
"You'll be a part of it or you will not graduate. I'm sorry, Ms. Dennis but those are the rules. I know that you've never been one to follow rules at this school but you cannot talk your way out of it. You know that if you don't do this then you will be striped of your abilities and forced to live as a human."
Bo started to say something else but she didn't know what else to say. She knew that Ms. Jones was right and she had no choice but to do as she was told. Bo hated to think that she had to use another person like that but Ms. Jones said that it had been going on for years. She just had to pick someone that there was no way she could get attached to. She had to pick someone that she has never seen before. She knew that she would also have to pick someone who would be a challenge of Ms. Jones would fall her anyway just for spite. Ms. Jones had never liked her because Bo was always in trouble and liked to talk back. Bo was a little bit of a trouble maker. Bo knew that Ms. Jones would really love to take her abilities from her because she never thought that Bo was really cut out to be given her gifts. Bo never loved to use them to get what she wanted the way the Ms. Jones thought that she should. Sure Bo had used to sneak out at night and silly stuff like that but Ms. Jones never thought that Bo used her charms to the fullest. Ms. Jones had told Bo in the past that she was one of the most gifted she had seen in years and that she could go far in the Fae world if she was willing to break a few of her silly morals but Bo had never sot power. That was never something that she wanted.
As soon as class was over, Bo was the first one out the door with her friend Bronte on her heels. "So have you given any thought to who you will pick for your target?" asked Bronte. "I was thinking about the cute little banshee over on the other wing."
"I don't like this, Bronte. It feels wrong"
"I know but you heard Ms. Jones. You don't have a choice."
"Well if I have to do it then I might as well do it right. I might as well pick the person who will be the hardest to win over. A person who never breaks the rules and who is the perfect student, and then I show her what I can do."
"So who do you have in mind?"
"Well what if I picked a staff favorite? If I do this to someone that the staff really like then maybe they will see just how horrible this and stop it. I need to pick one someone that even Ms. Jones has a soft spot for." Bo said as she was thinking about anyone who might fit the bill.
"What about one of the school's head girls? They are the teacher's favorites after all."
"That could be perfect," Bo said. "There are about ten of them in school right?"
"I think so."
"Do you know who they are?"
"Well one is the a Banshee and she is also in her last year in school, one is a witch but she is one in her first year, one is another succubus but I don't think that will work, one is siren and she is very pretty I might add, one is a shifter but she is a bit of a bitch and another one is a Valkyrie," Bronte told her. "I think another is some kind of demon but I don't know much about her."
"So I guess I have a siren, shifter, Valkyrie or a demon to choose from. I guess I will just have to find out who they are. Shouldn't be too hard, Head Girls are always milling around the halls looking for someone who is doing something they shouldn't. I don't understand why they want to follow the rules of this place. Most of them are stupid rules and the ones that aren't are just in place to control us make us act the way that they think we should. Anyway, I guess I'll see you a bit later, Bronte," Bo said walking back to her dorm.
Bo didn't head straight back to her dorm that night and instead she sneaked out for a little bit of air. She was still angry about what she had to do to graduate. She thought about what it would be like to live without her powers but she didn't know what she would do without them. She would not be the same person without her abilities. Bo was lost in her thoughts as she was sneaking back into the school from her outing when she bumped into someone in the hall. Bo almost jumped out of her skin because she didn't expect anyone else to be out in the halls at this time of night.
"What the hell?" Bo said to the girl who she had bumped into. "What are you doing out at this time of night?! Curfew was at ten," Bo said to the blonde girl in front of her.
"I'm Head Girl and I'm allowed to be out this late because I was studying in the library. You on the other hand, are supposed to be in your dorm so what is going to stop me from turning you in?" the blonde said in a sassy matter of fact tone.
"Are you sure you really want to turn me in?" Bo asked her in a silky tone as she rubbed the blonde's arm and sent charm through her.
"Very sure," the blonde snapped back as she pulled her arm away from Bo's touch.
"Fine," Bo said "Do what you have to do but do you think you could walk me back to my dorm first? It's a bit dark and I don't think I feel safe," Bo said gently touching the blonde's face and trying to charm her again.
"I think you can handle it," the blonde said. "I've been told a lot about you, Bo and I don't think a little darkness is going to stop you."
"How do you know my name?"
"Well I've heard about a succubus who doesn't like to follow the rules and by the charms that you just tried to use on me I would think that that is you," the blonde said narrowing her eyes at Bo. Bo noticed that her eyes went from green to black as she was talking to her. "Now are you sure that you don't want to go back to your room now? I think you probably want me to let someone know that you were out after hours too," the blonde said.
Bo felt herself nodding her head in agreement with the blonde and she was back in her room before she remembered what happened. Bronte heard her come in and looked up in surprise.
"Where were you?" Bronte asked her.
"I was out for a walk and ran into some trouble on the way back. I smart mouthed little blonde Head Girl stopped him on the way back in and messed with my mind a little. Her eyes went black and I had to listen to her. I think she had me tell Ms. Jones I was out after curfew before I got back here too," Bo said in confusion.
Bronte laughed, "That sounds like Tamsin. She one of the Head Girls I was telling you about. She's a Valkyrie and pretty powerful from what I hear. One of the other succubus girls tried to charm their way out of trouble with her one day too and Tamsin almost broke the girl's arm when the girl tried to charm her. It sounds like she let you off easy."
"Well I think I just found my target. She might be a little bit of a challenge and she got my detention with Ms. Jones for a month," Bo said as she threw herself on her bed. "She was kind of cute too with those cute blonde pigtails and green eyes," Bo said with a smirk. "Maybe this assignment won't be so bad after all."
