One Chapter only
Kate was a thirty-year-old lead Homicide Detective for the 12th precinct and employed by the NYPD. Single, no boyfriend, and hadn't had a boyfriend since she was nineteen. That was the year that had changed her life forever. What she did have was a continuing series of one-night stands that never remembered her.
That was her doing. If they knew what she was, they would've run for their lives. And they would've had good reason, a very good reason.
It was a bit ironic that she was a homicide detective investigating murders when she had killed more men that she dared to count herself. However, there was a distinct difference between those murderers and her. They killed for any number of reasons. She killed because she needed to stay alive.
Those murderers usually left a body to find, even if it was swimming with the fishes. She didn't leave a body behind. All that was left behind after she killed them was their clothes and anything else that was on them. She just picked all that up, kept the cash, and everything else went into a nearby dumpster.
So, she wasn't a killer, she was a survivalist.
Right now, she was on a stakeout in Queens. Espo and Ryan were supposed to relieve her in… Kate looked at her dad's watch and muttered, "two hours." She could stay awake for another two hours. She didn't even need anything. She had fed twenty-four hours ago, so she was fine for a few weeks.
This stakeout was boring, and there wasn't any action to keep her occupied. The only thing she had to think about was this supposed virus that was sweeping the planet.
It was thought to have begun in Korea or possibly China. Anyway, it had swept through Russia into Europe. She knew America had closed its borders. All flights into and out of the country had been suspended. The virus was believed to be highly contagious.
She didn't worry about a virus. She was effectively immune, thanks to what she had done when she was just nineteen years old.
Kate's cell phone rang. "Beckett."
"Beckett, where are you?" Espo asked.
"Where I'm supposed to be. Where you will be in two hours." Kate was irritated that he would ask such a question.
"You need to run, Beckett, and run fast. The military has swooped in and blown all the bridges and tunnels into Manhattan. We really are an island now. You know that virus that's been on the news?
"It's not just a virus, it's death. They bite you, and you're infected. It kills you, but you don't stay dead. You start running around trying to bite people to spread the virus.
"Get as far away from any airport as you can. LaGuardia or JFK in particular. You have to start running, Beckett," Espo urged.
"What are you talking about, Espo?" She was beginning to wonder if he and Ryan had been out drinking before relieving her.
"You watch all those Zombie movies, and you don't believe in them? They're real," he said grimly. "And if they bite you, you become one. Now start running and get as far away as you possibly can.
"RUN, KATE, JUST FUCKING START RUNNING!" Javier hung up on her.
"Zombies?" Kate didn't believe him for a second. He was yanking her chain. Trying to help keep her awake, and maybe trying to give her a nightmare tonight.
- :: - :::- :: -
Kate hadn't moved, but it hadn't been that long since Espo had called her. She thought she heard something, though whatever it was, it sounded weird.
She knew that north of her was LaGuardia, but that was just a coincidence. It had nothing to do with Espo's weird phone call.
She had her window cracked just enough to allow in some air while she was on a stakeout. Now she was straining to listen, and whatever it was, it sounded like it was getting closer.
Movement caught her attention. Squinting into the darkness, she thought she saw a wall of running people headed her way.
"NO FUCKING WAY!" They got a little closer, and she didn't like the looks on any of their faces. That wasn't good, and now Espo's phone call came to mind. She had two choices. So, she chose to start her car and turn on the headlights. And that showed her the horde that was headed her way. Now, she could clearly see their faces.
Kate put her car in gear and took off as fast as she could. She left rubber on the road and drove off.
South of here was JFK. At this point, she actually took Espo's warning to heart and turned east to head out into Long Island. The only real issue with that idea was that eventually she was going to run out of land.
But it was dark out and she was already using her driving skills to miss other people driving like mad men or women.
Then it finally happened. She got hit which caused her to spin around until she came to a rest; her car was ruined. She could smell the antifreeze from here.
"SHIT!" No car meant she had to walk. She didn't even bother to concern herself with the other driver. Both of their airbags had deployed.
Kate forced her door open and could hear them. That noise was unmistakable.
Abruptly, new sound intruded. It sounded like a crash followed by another crash, and yet another.
Then suddenly, what looked like a trash truck came around the corner and headed her way. She also heard whoever was driving put their foot down. He was using every bit of horsepower that thing had.
Kate looked down the road and saw parked cars, abandoned cars, and a partially clear road. It was big, it was powerful, and it didn't appear that he'd planned to stop.
But he was too fast for human Kate Beckett to catch a ride. It was looking like her time as human Beckett was coming to an end. Thankfully, she wasn't wearing a coat, so she shifted and ruined her shirt, pants, and boots.
Just as it was getting closer, Kate spread her wings, jumped up onto her damaged cruiser, and pushed off. She pumped her wings to catch up and landed on top of the big truck. She folded her wings tight to her body, and watched where they were going.
She probably gave whoever was driving a new scare. It wasn't every day they saw a Succubus with large red and black wings, long tail, and horns sticking out of their forehead, not to mention big boobs, jump and fly toward their trash truck.
The second she landed, her shirt give up the ghost. And she popped most of her buttons since her bra had already given up trying to contain her new chest size. Neither her bra nor shirt was prepared for her breasts to change from 35B to 36DD that fast.
"Dad, did you see her?" Alexis asked, the fear in her voice evident. His idea to steal a trash truck and power their way through city streets was working pretty well. Anything like an average car that got in their way was sent flying.
But it was taking a toll on the front end of the trash truck. Alexis could see more than one red warning light on the instrument panel.
"I saw her and can feel her. She's on the top of the truck. She must be someone that was converted, or she would know where to go," Alexis said.
"Just keep your eyes open," Rick told her. "We still have a long ways to go still to reach our rendezvous location. Worse, we don't have the gas to make it in this thing."
Alexis was quiet for a minute and relaxed; she was no longer afraid. She looked over at her dad. "I don't think she's scared. I don't feel scared coming from her."
"That's great, Pumpkin! Listen, we need diesel if we want to keep this thing. It's that or we find a car. Or we fly, which I'm willing to do," Rick said. "Keep your eyes open for a gas station, okay?"
"I will. How are the warning lights?" Alexis knew he had them, but she didn't know what they said.
"Check engine light and something about air," Rick told her.
"Air brakes, most likely, meaning stopping might be fun," Alexis submitted.
"THERE'S A MOBIL dead ahead on your left!" Alexis pointed right at it.
"I see it. Pray the brakes work." Rick took his foot off the gas and touched the brakes till he finally had to put his foot on them to come to a stop.
"See if you can see or hear whoever it is while I fill the gas tank." Rick got out, and so did Alexis.
Rick inserted his credit card, located the gas tank, and started filling it while Alexis called up to the roof, knowing she was still up there. "You can come down now. We won't hurt you. We know you're a Succubus."
Kate had watched them pull into a Mobil gas station and they appeared to be filling the tank with gas. All of a sudden, someone was calling out, telling her she could come down. And they used the magic word. SUCCUBUS!
No one knew she was a Succubus. She'd been careful. The men she had fucked and killed had been entirely alone. She had made sure of it.
Alexis tried again. "Please? We mean you no harm. You can travel with us. You don't have to ride on the roof." Finally, she saw her stand up, spread her wings, and watched her glide down to her.
"Hi, I'm Alexis." Alexis looked the Succubus over. She looked like she expected her to look, but with a couple of differences. "She has a weapon, Dad! And she's a cop!" Alexis couldn't miss the weapon and had spotted her shield.
"Invite her to join us. I need a few more minutes to finish," Rick replied.
"Do you want to come with us? We're on our way to a rendezvous, so we can leave. You're quite welcome to come as well," Alexis told her.
"You feel funny – different – and you're not afraid of me." Kate could feel something about her, but she found it confusing.
"Of course not. Why should I be afraid of a Succubus when I'm also a Succubus? Dad is an Incubus. Come on, I promise that you can come with us." Alexis walked over to her door and opened it. "Please? We have a way out. We just have to get there."
"I've never met another like me since the Succubus that converted me. That was years ago," Kate revealed, but she still didn't move.
"That explains why you don't know about the rendezvous location. There aren't that many of us in this city." Alexis tried again. "You can shift back, I give you my word that we won't hurt you."
"You have a way out?" Kate was still wrapping her mind around this young woman being a Succubus. She hadn't met another one in all these years. She was all alone in New York City.
Her mother had been murdered, and her dad had died from complications because of all his drinking. Javi, Kevin, and Lanie were all she really had in this life. She didn't want to drain Kevin or Javi dry, but she would if she absolutely had to.
"We have a ship coming. But we have to reach the right beach." Alexis tried one last time. "Honest, you can come with us."
"Get in, Alexis. In, or she stays," Rick called out. He put the nozzle away and capped the tank. Then he opened his door and climbed up.
Alexis watched her finally shift back to human, even if her top was ruined, and watched her climb in. Alexis followed close behind her and closed the door.
"Hi. Richard Castle, Incubus. I see you've met my daughter, Alexis. She truly is a Succubus and the light of my life." Rick held out his hand to shake hers.
Kate shook his hand. "Kate Beckett, homicide detective, NYPD. Richard Castle, the author? That Richard Castle?" She was a little shocked.
"Sounds like you have a fan, Dad," Alexis said with a grin.
"Surprise." Rick grinned, put the truck in gear, and put his foot on the gas. He got back onto highway 25 eastbound, or Jericho Turnpike. He had left the engine running since he didn't trust the truck to start again once he turned it off.
"I had a case once with a guy that was killing people based on a couple of your early books," Kate told him. "My captain at the time didn't think bringing you in for questioning would get us anything, so I didn't."
"Perhaps you should have. Then you would've learned that you weren't alone. You would know that there's a ride coming to get us," Rick pointed out. "So, you're a cop?"
"Lead Homicide Detective in the 12th precinct. I was on a stakeout when this started. Something about Zombies?" Kate wanted to know if those two knew anything about them.
"Please don't get Dad started," Alexis begged.
"Hey, I was proven right, I'll have you know," Rick fought back. Just then he hit a car to get it out of the way. "So, when did you last feed?" Rick queried, talking to the woman.
That had Kate looking at him. She wasn't used to talking about her being a Succubus. Since no one knew, she was uncomfortable with it.
"I'm fine," Kate responded.
"That's not what I asked," Rick said patiently. "I need to know when you last fed. Alexis is a Succubus, and I'm well aware of how the need to feed can build up. If we have a chance, we can try and resolve that problem."
"I fed twenty-four hours ago," Kate answered hesitantly.
"Good." Rick pushed a car out of the way by sideswiping it.
"It really is safe to talk to us." Alexis reached over and touched her hand. "When were you converted?"
"I…" Kate was so not used to this. "I was nineteen at the time and I'm thirty now."
"Eleven years and no one else? What about the Succubus that converted you?" Alexis asked.
"I had never seen her before, and I haven't seen her since." Kate stared at her. "There's something different about you."
"You can feel my Succubus. I'm eighteen, by the way, and I only just came to life recently. I was born a Succubus, but I needed to reach puberty to be able to shift into my Succubus," Alexis explained.
They were interrupted when Rick hit yet another car.
Kate looked a little bewildered. "I didn't know a Succubus could get pregnant. I've had my fair share of men, so one would think I would be pregnant by now."
"Oh, you can't. You were converted. I wasn't. You see, there are two types of Succubi and Incubi. There are those that are born that way, and those that are converted. The converted get all the benefits of a being a Succubus, but they can't have children. I'm sorry." Alexis didn't know if she wanted children before she was converted, so maybe that hurt.
Kate sighed. "I see. I guess that explains that. So, Zombies?" She went back to them.
"We don't know much about it. What we do know is that it's spreading like wildfire. You get bitten, and you're infected. The theory is that you die, but don't die. But we don't have a body to examine to know for sure. It might be as simple as it destroys your mind and poisons your body.
"What little we know is that it acts fast, like really fast, and infection so far is 100%," Rick told her.
"Does that include me, and you?" Kate questioned, looking at Alexis.
"You have blood, we have blood," Alexis stated.
"Don't really want to find out," Rick said. "UH-OH!" He saw trouble ahead. The road was full of cars, so he put his foot to the floor. "Watch your faces!" Rick hit the first car and sent it flying.
They all felt that hit and the one after that. Then there was the one after that. And after that, yet another one.
Rick had cleared that mess, but all those cars had slowed him down. So, he put his foot down again to gain some speed.
"SEMI, DAD!" The idiot had jackknifed and was blocking the road.
"Get off!" Kate shouted. "Take 106. It goes north a little till it reaches the coast and then east again." She watched as Rick went off-roading to miss the semi and take 106.
Kate took a shaky but relieved breath. "What are we trying to reach?"
"East Beach, it's north of Huntington a ways," Alexis answered.
"I don't know where either of those is. I'm pretty sure 106 ends, and you have to decide to turn east or west on 25A," Kate told them, but after that she had no idea.
"We had planned to take 110 north, but it sounds like this will work," Alexis said.
"So, a ship?" Kate questioned because she thought she remembered Alexis saying something about it.
"That's why we need to get to the coast. They aren't willing to come in too close, so we have to get out far enough for them to pick us up," Rick explained and was thankful that this road was mostly empty.
- :: - :::- :: -
They were making good time and turned right onto 25A, traveling down a mostly deserted road. "What's that glow?" Rick saw something in the distance that he didn't like.
"It's too bright for lights," Kate commented.
"Looks like a fire to me." Alexis leaned forward, thinking that might help.
"Better slow down," Kate cautioned; she thought it was a fire as well.
They got closer to town. Rick was going slow, and it didn't take much to figure out that a gas station was on fire. "Accident, maybe?"
"I don't think so." Kate pointed ahead of them to where she saw movement.
"They're behind us, Dad." Alexis could see them in the mirror on her side.
"Just one bite," Rick muttered. He needed to think. "Everyone out. We shift and fly, and we head north. It's not that far, only about eight miles. Hopefully, these guys can't fly, or we're in big trouble." He opened his door, got out, and took off some of his clothes.
Alexis opened her door and started stripping. Kate followed, but she didn't need to take her clothes off. She'd been sitting in the trash truck, holding what was left of her shirt closed to hide her human breasts from Rick.
They each took a few steps, jumped, and flapped their wings. Rick was out in front, then Alexis, and Kate was last. She was watching what they called Zombies trying to follow them on the ground.
"They're following us, and they're fast," Kate yelled, and that had Rick and Alexis taking a peek.
- :: - :::- :: -
Rick landed on a beach across the water. Alexis landed next to him, and Kate landed next to her.
It was then that Kate got a good look at those two. Alexis had a smaller frame than hers and wasn't nearly as tall, but she looked damn good as a Succubus. And for her delicate frame she had some substantial tits.
However, Rick wearing nothing but boxers was damn sexy. Best man, dressed or not dressed, she had never seen the like. He was ripped! His wings were purple-tinged, he had a long tail, horns, and his hair had gotten long and it was purple.
"Can you tone down the pheromones, please," Alexis asked.
"Sorry." Kate concentrated on doing just that. She was clearly attracted to Rick looking like that, and she knew it. Maybe it was the purple, or perhaps it was because he was ripped. She was even pretty sure he had pointed ears like an elf or Spock.
- :: - :::- :: -
"I don't see a ship." Kate was looking out to sea, trying to see one.
"Not out there. Up there." Alexis pointed toward the black sky.
"UP!?" Kate looked up, though she still saw nothing but black sky and stars. "A ship?" she questioned softly.
It wasn't much later when they heard her say, "I. Will. Be. Damned!" Kate saw the lights and watched as a real, honest-to-god flying saucer came into view. "That's a flying saucer."
Rick was still in his Incubus form in case they needed to fly to get away. "Tell me you really didn't think that Incubi and Succubi originated on this planet, did you?"
"Um… Well, yeah, I did." Kate watched as the saucer moved in very close; a light came out the bottom, and suddenly she felt weightless as she floated up and into the ship.
Inside the ship she saw more Incubi and Succubi. She was taken to the medical area and given a complete physical. After that, they showed her to her own room.
Soon the door opened, and she saw Rick on the other side. "I came to check on you. We're headed out into space and going home. My home."
"I see." Kate knew if that virus did what they said, her world was in big trouble.
Rick walked in and sat down. "Are you worried about what's going to happen to you? You don't need to, you know. My planet is full of Incubi and Succubi. We've even figured out how to manage the need to feed."
"Really?" That was going to be strange.
- :: - :::- :: -
It had been a month, and they had another month before reaching his home planet.
Kate collapsed onto Rick with him still inside her. She was used to getting her orgasms by taking what she needed to live from men. Naturally, they climaxed, and she sucked out all she needed and more from them. She wasn't used to having a lover.
Kate was used to taking what she needed, not having a man give her what she needed and so much more. Rick didn't just fuck her and fill her pussy with his cum, he made love to her.
More to the point, she had never had a man eat her pussy. She fucked them and drained them dry. Having her pussy eaten was a whole new experience, and he seemed to really love eating her pussy. She had to admit that he was damn good at it.
Right now, she was resting to catch her breath. "Have I worn you out?" Rick teased.
"Hush, you. Give me a minute, and I'll show you just how worn out I am," Kate retorted. "I don't know much about an Incubus. I know I need your cum to live, but what do you need?" She found the energy to sit back up and keep his cock inside her.
"A woman has cum as well. You need my cum, and I need yours. You could call us lovers. I give you what you need, and you give me what I need," Rick told her.
"Really? I've never had a lover. Well, not that kind of lover. So, you're my lover?" Kate bit her lower lip. She was learning to like that idea. He certainly gave her all the cum she needed to survive. They'd made love daily for the last two weeks. She had never had that much cum in her pussy ever.
"You're mine, Kate. You'll like your new home. You don't have to hide any longer. You can walk around everywhere as a Succubus." Rick reached up and cupped her breasts in his hands. He massaged them and pinched her nipples, getting her to moan.
Rick beckoned her closer with his finger. "Come down here and kiss me. You can have a new life with me. That is if you want to stay?"
"I do want to stay." Kate could feel herself falling in love with him. Her old life could stay in her past. Now she just needed to see this new planet. She would work out how she was going to live there after she got there.
Kate sat back up and used her pussy's muscles to squeeze his cock. "How does Alexis get what she needs?" She was his daughter. She had stuck with calling her Kate and hadn't ever called her Mom. Not that they had talked about that.
"Alexis? We have male cum in storage. You only have to dispense some and swallow. The same for female cum," Rick told her.
"Seriously?" Kate didn't believe him. She didn't have to fuck him to get what she needed? Initially, she was a little put-off. That was until she thought about it. Having him as a lover was so much more fun.
"You still have an erection. Ready for another round?" Kate bit her lower lip again and looked down at him.
"You have no idea." He was an Incubus. Seducing and fucking her brains out was what he did. Not to mention eating her pussy till she couldn't even stay conscious.
