A/N: Hello, hello! Not much to say that hasn't already been said in the closing author's note, so enjoy the story!

With the coming of morning so came Vardis with more news of the upcoming rogue hunt. He'd woken the pair of girls up by loudly knocking on Jade's front door, until he became tired of waiting and forcibly broke it down. Once entering the house and propping the door up against the wall, he walked up stairs and demanded loudly for Jade to get out of bed, and addressed the succubus in the same manner. Jade simply got up, gave him the finger and locked her door as she returned back to bed; while the succubus seemed to not even flinch at his booming wake up call, she stayed still, cuddled up on her bed with a multitude of mismatched pillows and blankets.. He sighed loudly and retreated to the kitchen with hopes that a slightly more...delicious approach would raise the grumpy witch, and her succubus out of bed.

As Vardis descended the stairs Victoria jumped quickly up from her nest of comforters and pillows and stretched tiredly. Her body ached but she found it to be less of an intense throbbing then it had been before when she was severely depleted of energy, her sessions with Jade had helped, but she knew that as she recuperated her powers back, she would need more to sustain her form. "Jade…" Victoria sighed deeply, for whatever reasons the witch had blown up at her yesterday, and in the process had hurt her with her words. In her heart she knew this to be true, that she'd abandoned her duties and even her family for her own selfish desires, but she never regretted her choice. Had she even decided to go back and fix her past mistakes, she didn't know where to start at.

Victoria quickly grew depressed at the prospect of all of this, her forgotten past, her current situation, and the issue with Jade. Things weren't all bad she supposed, if she remembered correctly, Jade did in fact whimper during their session together. As the delicious sound replayed itself in her mind Victoria groaned huskily and flushed a deep red, she flopped back down on her bed and moaned as she splayed her fingers on her burning skin. Jade's whimper was by no means an amazingly sexual act, but when you're a centuries old succubus who's tried just about all things sexual, it's the little things that really get you going. Afterall, simplicity can be a devastatingly potent turn on.

Jade's whimper played over and over again in her head as her dirty thoughts about the witch intensified. She traced her hands over the plumped underside of her breast to the ridges of her rib cage and downwards past the dip and rise of her stomach until they stopped at the burning heat of her center. She brought one hand up to her face and with no hesitation plunged two fingers into her mouth, coating them with her saliva and wrapping er tongue around them as she imagined them to be Jade's own fingers. With her fingers coated in her saliva she quickly brought them to her core and glided them up and down her folds while occasionally dipping into her heat. Her wrist pushed her fingers into her core and she mewled at the pleasure, she wanted to go slow and steady this morning but thinking about Jade's whimper ruined that for her.

With all depressing thoughts pushed to the back of her mind, she started up a quicker and rapidly forced her fingers in and out of herself at an inhuman pace. While inside her heated core she flexed and twirled her fingers, stretching herself to work in another finger as her pleasure began to peak. "Fuck, Jesus christ please, ah fuck-" she screamed as her climax rushed her, her vision went fuzzy and her toes curled she grew taught in her orgasmic haze. Her mouth opened letting out a little whine of satisfaction as she settled deeper into her blankets.

Almost immediately the throbbing came back and she let out a frustrated groan and turned on her back, withdrawing her fingers and lazily swirling them around her lips as she heated herself back up for round two, "well here goes nothing" she muttered.

In the room next door Jade still had not woken up, but was getting to it by popping an eye open and glaring at the wall for ten minutes. Eventually she got up, striped herself bare and hopped into her tub, as she cut the water on in hopes to de-stress before leaving her sanctuary. She knew Victoria was still out there, but she had no fucking clue as to why Vardis has come over. "Fucking furry ass prick" she muttered. She continued to relax and eventually sunk her way deeper into the warm water, her eyes shut and she hummed out her approval as the water worked wonders on her stressed mind. That is until she heard high pitched whining from the room next door. Victoria's room.

Soon enough the sounds quickly exposed what the succubus was doing, and she blushed furiously at the act. She had half a mind to go in there and tell her to cut it the fuck out, but then again...It wouldn't hurt just to wait a little longer right? She shook the idea out of her head and blushed harder, "there is no way that I just thought that" she barked, "it must be her stupid hormone release or whatever". But still, she sat there, perving out on the magical demon fingering herself in the other room, she heard a loud whine, and the noises stopped, Victoria said something but she didn't hear what she said quite clearly. Jade hoped that this was over and she could ignore this whole incident.

She finally managed to drag herself from the tub, water dripping from her pale body, when she heard a deep moan, and suddenly she completely forgot why she was even leaving the tub in the first place. Her knees wobbled and she all but fell back into the tub, water splashing out as she did so. Her face heated up and she started breathing heavily as something overtook her. She had the incredible urge to get off, hard and fast . Her body heated up until she was desperately reaching out to her core, submerging her hand into the water and dragging her fingernails across her thigh as she seeked out her heat. She hadn't felt this way in a long time, her sex drive was all but nonexistent after the incident with her mom and even more so once Beck was out of her life. But now, now she wanted-no, needed something to be deep in her until she screamed out her orgasm.

She flushed at the dirty thoughts that invaded her mind she wasn't exactly sure what was coming over her but the magical power was so incredible, it seemed like the more she fanned the flames of her desire, the more tired she grew. And then it made sense. She felt dumb for not figuring it out sooner, guess she really should've made her knock it off when she first found out. Even as she realized who was controlling her, she couldn't bring herself to stop, it's like she was a helpless fly caught in some freaky ass web, her mind understood that it was indeed Victoria's magic doing this to her body but she couldn't stop. She tried to expand more on why her magic had this hold on her, but she became a bit distracted as her fingers roughly entered her as if they had a mind of their own, she gasped loudly and quickly became a hot gasping mess. Letting herself fade into the mind numbing throes of passion, therefore completely giving herself up to the magic that was working her.

Soon after Victoria and Jade emerged from their respective rooms, Jade was in a bad mood as usual but oddly enough so was Victoria. The pair made eye contact and the succubus brightened up a bit at Jade noticing her, but it soon disappeared when the goth made a beeline for the stairs. Victoria sighed, her brows furrowing in discontent as she made her way downstairs as well.

Vardis was still at the house, and had whipped up a delicious breakfast, moving around Jade's kitchen almost as if he'd cooked in it before. Victoria quickly took a seat and started in on the wide arrays of fruits Vardis had laid out.

"Why hello girls! I see everyone's finally up and about, how about we settle down for some breakfast, huh? And then I'll explain how this whole rogue Witch situation is gonna go down okay?"

"Why did you have to use my kitchen to tell us the plan?" She said.

"Well at the time, somebody, didn't seem to want to get out of bed, so breakfast was the next most logical step" He snarked back.

Jade grumbled at his fair point and they quit their bickering to sit at the table and enjoy the fine meal Vardis had prepared. As the sound of cutlery scraping against plates and the munching of food filled the air, something occurred to Jade and she voiced her concerns.

"Wait how did you even get into my house in the first place?" The goth questioned as Victoria moved on from her fruit to helping herself to a heaping plate of bacon.

Vardis lifted his mop of sandy hair and smirked, "well I can't just go and reveal all my secrets you know", he winked before returning back to his plate, jovially enjoying his meal and ignored the glare Jade directed at him. Victoria said nothing, smothered a giggle as to not upset Jade, and grabbed some toast and a cup of strange orange juice. She sniffed at it and tongue tapped it a few times to test it out, she was surprised at its tangy taste but it was pleasant nonetheless.

"You left the door unlocked."

Jade abruptly stopped her dining and glared even harder than before at Vardis, muttered something under her breath, and with a raise of an eyebrow the sphinx's plate disappeared from right under him. She raised her brow in challenge and was disappointed when he simply stood up and began to clean up his mess.

After breakfast was done with, the trio regathered in the foyer and discussed the hostage situation. Jade looked awfully grim and even though Victoria was having mixed feelings about her outburst yesterday, she was determined to provide some kind of assistance to Jade. She had sat awfully close to the girl on the couch and grabbed her hand in a demonstration of forgiveness. Jade had relaxed into her embrace, much easier than before Victoria noted, and threw her an appreciative look. Vardis took in the girls and their odd behavior with each other, but said nothing, it was not his place and he didn't want to tempt Jade to send him wherever she had sent his breakfast.

"I have already given you the next most possible locations for the rogues to strike, and any or info that may be of service to you as well. My team and I did some more research, and the Saraeh mentioned yesterday was not found in any of our databases. Based off of Kat's description of her, we narrowed down her race and searched locally for any type of leads."

"Upon doing some questioning in Pakistani, we've gathered some bits and pieces of a story, we have yet to know whether it's folklore or not , or even how Saraeh relates to the story, but mentions of her name always leads back here. The story itself offers no useful info on the witch's abilities, so she remains a wild card", Vardis said.

"So what, she's some type of urban legend? That could be a bad sign, legends become legends for a reason, and if she had a hand in taking Cat down, then maybe her powers are high caliber" Jade said. Victoria grew very quiet at the mention of Saraeh's possible story, something about her name rung a bell, it was very familiar, but because it related to her childhood she couldn't quite remember why. She gripped jade's hand a little tighter and frowned in concentration, the goth squeezed back but gave no other attention the the succubus as she was tuned into the info Vardis was giving her.

The sphinx stroked his beard in thought as he spoke, "you see, that's just the thing! When questioning Kat, he mentioned that you had been at the scene and had even made physical contact with Cat, which he explained was ultimately how she was caught."

"What!", the goth bellowed, "that animal is a filthy liar! I was her all night with Victoria so there's no way that was me!"

"Yes, yes Jade. We've already figured this out. Kat had also explained that after Cat had been captured you vanished and a women named Saraeh had shown up, so thanks to that filthy liar, we know that one of the rogues is a talented shapeshifter."

"Alright, so we know vaguely of this Saraeh's powers and since Rauder is a prominent Witch historical figure, we know of his powers. While this should be good news, we still don't know exactly how many we're dealing with and who's leading this merry band of misfits"

"Exactly", Vardis huffed, "we're trying to piece as much together as possible but you are supposed to be leaving sometime between today and tomorrow afternoon. While on the road we'll keep you updated via cellphone to make sure you have as much as an advantage over the rogues as possible."

Jade's face scrunched up in confusion, "wait what do you mean 'on the road', isn't Fawn teleporting us to and from our destinations to save time?" She questioned.

Vardis rubbed the his hands and sighed as he had hoped that Jade wouldn't notice that little tidbit.

"Well normally that would be standard protocol, but because these witches are so dangerous you need to keep a low profile, and doing an abundant amount of teleporting spells would raise some sort of questions. You are already like a giant flashing neon sign with your reputation and power amongst the witch community, not to mention that when your little friend-", he motioned pointedly at Victoria,"-reaches her full power, you guys will really stand out."

Jade grumbled and prepared to retort when Vardis cut her off.

"You didn't think you were just going to leave her here did you? She is bound to you therefore you cannot leave her side without very painful repercussions, and besides that, it's just plain rude!" While these were very true reasons for his forcing Victoria to travel with Jade, the real reason for this was because of Victoria's power, once brought back to full capacity she could be a great asset to the mission, and would be a great way to give Jade some extra man power so to speak. He wasn't foolish enough to send Jad out on her own against the rogues, but he also wasn't foolish enough to force her to try and cooperate with hand-picked teammates. If Jade was going to help him they'd have to primarily be on her terms.

Jade sighed and rubbed at her eyes, she patted Victoria's hand to let her know it wasn't anything against her before speaking again.

"And how exactly do you suppose I keep her...feed, while we're out on the road?"

"Well she is bound to you, I would like to think that you'd know how intercourse works Jade, after all, wasn't that what was going on upstairs? Sure did seem like it…"

Jade snatched her hand back from Victoria's to awkwardly cover up her embarrassment with fake coughs while Victoria blushed deeply and became very interested in the rugs pattern.

"Anyways, it's about time that I take my leave, I have much business to attend to and I should leave you ladies to it. Here is the map from yesterday, I've taken the liberty and marked out some great hotels for 'pit stops' as well as various supernatural areas on the way. I'll be round tomorrow afternoon with the car you'll be using, supplies, and something special."

With that the sphinx stepped into his coat and put his beanie back on, he gave a half raise three-fingered salute and waltzed out the door.

The pair stayed seated, Jade had deflated as soon as Vardis left the house, almost as if the weight of the world was upon her. She felt powerless and was utterly hopeless in her own abilities. While she had put on a front of strength, she was quite afraid and uncertain on the inside. She was scared to let everyone down, afraid that she'd lose Cat, and afraid that whatever storm was coming, she wouldn't be able to face. She almost didn't notice the soft hand sliding into her own until it gave a slight squeeze. She looked to the hand's owner and was met with Victoria's warm gaze, she gave the goth a slight smile and Jade squeezed back. Jade wasn't too happy at first for having to bring Victoria along, but she knew now, that she'd be glad to have her every step of the way.

A/N: Sorry this took so long! Senior year's been a bitch and I've been very busy, don't even get me started on college! Anyways, I've had most of this story completed for months now but I kept getting sidetracked or stuck on actually writing what was left of it. Apparently on August 5th we'd reached the 1yr Anniversary of A Witchy Woman! I had no idea it's been so long, but thanks to everyone for all the support and for sticking through with my story! I'm gonna start on the next chapter and hopefully introduce a new character pretty soon as well, sorry for any typos of mistakes, wanted to upload this right away and it's 1:14am where I'm at so I'm tired and dying because of finals! Bye!
