I'll warn you that this first chapter is going to be a little weird but it's just the whole explanation to what's going on. If you've seen Lost Girl you'll get where this is going.
Claire's POV
As Claire once again alone along the deserted streets of Morganville she couldn't help but think about how much her life had changed in just over a month- most of which not for the better.
Flashback
After her 18th birthday Claire had begun to feel weird, especially around Shane. Whenever she got too close to him she felt herself unnaturally drawn to him and felt a need deep within her, almost like a kind of hunger that was difficult to control. It was comparable to the way a vampire is drawn to human's neck. It scared Claire because she knew it wasn't normal. She tried to ignore it for a while but couldn't help to push Shane away in the process. It got worse, to the point where she felt a drawing toward Michael as she passed him in the house- who was starting to look at her funny- and to strangers she passed on the way to college.
When she realised there was something seriously wrong with her and she couldn't handle it she ran all the way to Myrnin, in hope he cope help her with her unusual situation. She explained everything to him, too afraid to feel embarrassed. As she explained the urges drawing her to anyone- particularly men- and how it was beginning to make her ill Myrnin's eyes widened. When she had finished talking he demanded to run tests on her, wouldn't let her leave until he was done.
After hours of tests the last ones results came through from Myrnin's home-made printer and when he scanned through pure shock appeared on his face. Claire- worried by his expression- went to him to see what was wrong but all he managed to say when he looked at her was. "Claire- but-how-you..."
After that he'd grabbed her hand and practically dragged her to Amelie's office. As Claire was stood in front of Amelie, Myrnin whispered something the Ice Queen's ear. Once again Claire was concerned by the look of shock that spread across Amelie's face- considering the woman was a god knows how many centuries old vampire Claire didn't think Amelie was capable of being surprised. "Are you sure Myrnin?" She asked the vampire that stared intently at his apprentices face.
"I'm sure my lady, I have the proof right here."
After a while Claire couldn't take it anymore and demanded to know what was going on. Amelie had looked at her with sympathy before turning to Myrnin. "Tell her Myrnin."
Her boss moved to stand in front of her. "Claire, these changes you've been feeling. Well they are happening because you're not-well- human."
The world stopped in that moment for Claire. Though know other explanation ever came to her she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Anger quickly consumed her and she turned to storm from the office as Myrnin ran after her. She made it into the main lobby just as Myrnin grabbed her hand and spun her around. "Claire please just wait."
"I can't, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm not freaking human Myrnin!"
She heard three gasps behind her and turned to see three familiar faces watching her, yet again all covered by a mask off shock. Claire immediately looked at the person at the far right- Shane. He'd heard what she'd said and he also showed horror on his face. "Shane please-" He didn't let her finish, he just shook his head before turning and walking out the door. Michael and Eve didn't walk away but just stood there with their mouths hanging open- that was enough to cause Claire to run into the streets before anyone could stop her.
In the end- after wondering the streets for hours- Claire had snuck home, packed up her stuff and gone to Myrnin's, the only person capable of helping her. Luckily he was relieved she wanted his help. First he had to explain to her what she was, which in many ways was the hardest part of everything. Claire could remember the conversation quite clearly. "What am I Myrnin?"
"You're a Succubus." Myrnin said simplly.
"A what?"
"A Succubus. There an ancient species, they used to live in relative peace with vampires since they had a lot to offer each other so to speak. But they died ot centuries ago... well until now. I'm guessing its been hidden in your blood generations and the vampires presence has woken it up."
"But what are they exactly? What makes them not human? And what does it have to do with the strange things that are happening to me?"
Myrnin replied uncomfortably. "Well... there simular to vampires really. They have increased strength and agility... oh and the ability to manipulate and seduce people through touch. The only difference is that instead of blood they need um... well... sex." There was a long minute of silence as Claire stared at Myrnin.
"Do you think I find this funny?"
"I'm not joking Claire this is the truth. Vampires need blood and succubuses need sexual energy." Claire's cheeks flared as Myrnin spoke the last two words. "That's just how it is and it is why you have been feeling drawn towards men... because you need to... do your thing."
"Please don't say that again. What happens if I don't "do my thing" as you put it."
"You die, like vampires do if they don't drink blood."
"How am I supposed to do that exactly, I'm sort of single now Shane hates me." She asked warily.
"Do what they used to back in their day, use touch to seduce people and just... Anyway besides you only need to sustain yourself every few days."
"Every few days! You are telling me that to survive I have to sleep around with guys every few days! Like a slut!"
"You're a succubus Claire, it's what you were born to do."
For weeks Claire read through books about succubuses while Myrnin carried on explaining every embarrassing detail. She quickly learned a lot about her new self, that kissing could sustain her temporarily when needed, but she still needed to sex whether she liked it or not. She also learned that not only did it keep her alive but would heal any injuries she recieved instantly, she couldn't help to aknowledge how handy that was.
When her needs and urges began to get too strong and she began to feel weak she knew she had to do what she didn't want to do, knowing there was no choice. So she packed up and moved into an apartment. That was when she heard about an illegal night club that ran every week in an old warehouse. Strictly for vampires and the more trustworthy residents of Morganville. She'd gone there the same night where she was instantly welcomed by the more paler residents who knew exactly what she was, many of them remembering the centuries before when Claire's kind were a common occurence. She soon got talking to one of those vampires- a young looking one that reminded her of a shorter and brunette Michael- who expressed interest in offering her his "services". For the first time ever she spent the night with a guy other than Shane. She knew this was her life now. Everything before was gone.
End Of Flashback
That's where Claire was heading as she walked along, to another of the night clubs wild nights like she did every week. With no boyfriend she had no choice but to jump from guy to guy for the sake of her own survival. Monica would be proud.
I told you the 1st chapter would be weird, but I needed to explain everything. Next chapter on its way and is going to have more of a point.
