Whoops... due to a mix up when I posted this it was missing the bottom three lines. Also I'm sorry that these stories have been so short but what with uni exams and such I've not had a huge amount of time. Also as with questions asked they shall be answered, I will start writing the follow up about how Gretel was rescued (Although as a technicality I already knew and reviewers have no actual input into what happens in the story, just the order I tell it in.Otherwise I would be breaking rules and no one wants that).
The circle was no more than five meters wide, with a large pentagram drawn in a powdered white substance across it. Various runes adorned the area within and around creating a wholly demonic feel to the small forest clearing they had spent the past few nights in. Only recently had Tarena discovered the incantations and rites of summoning and binding demons and she had decided it was time they where put into practice.
Malorin however was entirely opposed to this idea but had been out voted and decided to vent her frustration by becoming the self acclaimed inter-dimensional police force in charge of making sure whatever came through this gate stayed in line. None of the rest of the group felt particularly happy about having a demon hang around with them but they reasoned that it could always be banished if they didn't like it. So all in all the general consensus was that it was worth a shot and would probably be a bit of fun regardless.
"So how much longer is this gonna take Tarena?" Annora asked from her position on top of a log at the sidelines of the summoning circle.
"Hey, hey now… I'm almost done so just hold onto your panties…" The elf poured the last of the powder in her hand into the shape of one final rune in the middle of the circle.
"Pfft… you should know I don't wear panties, there for those upper class snobs…" She replied turning her gaze towards Nunu, who was sleeping in a quiet ball suspended in a branch above them. "And Mal… who's… not a snob." She continued as Malorin gave her a slight nod and a warm smile.
"Hey what about me?" Tarena's voice pleaded with Annora as her feet took positions at the base of the circle.
"I thought you stopped? Didn't you get those rashes 'cos they're going up and down so fast?" Her voice jaunted in a playful tone.
"And as hard as I tried I just couldn't break your record."
"Can we just get on with this?" Interrupted Gretel, who was getting as flustered about the topic of promiscuity as she usually did, in an annoyed but shy tone.
Tarena and Annora looked at each other for a few second before turning towards the troll and announcing in perfect synchronisation "Don't worry girl we've got plenty of time, we can get dirty with you later." Shortly after which they both burst into a small fit of laughter.
"Hey… No… That's…" Gretel quietly tried to retort from underneath her blushing cheeks before being interrupted abruptly.
"Hahehehe ouuu… that tickles little cactus apple!" A voice from the trees exclaimed loud enough to stun all the people below.
"Well Nunu's enjoying her nap… whatever its about…" Tarena placed her feet at the bottom end of the circle she had drawn and extended her hands outwards in preparation for weaving magic.
"Hey Mal want to go push Nunu out of the tree?" Annora asked with a devilish smile.
"I think she'd land on the circle and then we'd have to stand around for ages again while Tarena redrew it." She replied, being the only person who noted that Gretel was blushing heavily and probably had known exactly what Nunu was talking about.
"Aight lets do this!" The elven warlock yelled as flames began to erupt out of the runic symbols on the ground. Slowly she built up her magics and the flames leapt higher, entrancing her friends with a dazzling lightshow of incandescent demonology, except Nunu who slept peacefully in the branches above. Then with one final effort a whirlwind of energy whipped the flames into a demonic form that erupted with power to reveal their new companion.
It stayed silent and vulnerable as it gradually floated a few feet to the earth before its eyes flicked open. "Hail, my mast…" The succubus announced in a clear, contempt filled voice, which promptly spluttered to a halt upon viewing the three onlookers behind Tarena.
"We'll she's got some manners, but we'll have to work on that tone." Malorin stepped towards the faltering demon, which it lost it's footing and stumbled to the ground.
"Hey, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't succubus meant to be the biggest bad ass pain mistresses of all time, how'd we wind up with this pussy?" Annora moved in next to Malorin as she delivered her critique of the petrified creature on the ground.
"Kinda cute though aint she? All huddled up in fear like that." Tarena brought her arms in to her chest and pretended to cuddle something before spinning herself on one foot in a slight dreamy daze.
"Now Tarena is she safe?" The inter-dimensional police force said, examining the succubus' face.
"Perfectly!" Tarena replied still dancing slightly in joy over her success. "The binding works so she can't consciously do anything that would harm us. So sorry 'Nora no ruff sex with my new pet."
"Damn…" Annora stomped her foot and looked playfully depressed. "Well I'm sure you'll find a way to make my dreams come true soon enough."
"I'll get right on that after I've had my fun." Tarena smiled gleefully as the demon became more and more horrified with its predicament.
"Anything in mind, I'm sure she can do a fair few things with that tail we've never thought of?" Continued Annora with a slight glance over to Malorin who seemed to be doing her best to blot out the conversation.
"You can stop joking around in front of our new friend… she has feelings to." Gretel shyly interrupted the pair before bring a deathly silence over the forest clearing that lasted for quite some time.
"Who's joking?" Tarena finally came back in a serious tone, which provoked strange looks from everyone concerned and brought another silence down upon them.
'This can't be happening… why are they here… why summon me… why is this happ…' Went the succubus' train of thought before a cat like and inverted elf's face shot down in front of her.
"Hello!"
