Edinburgh, Scotland

Dracula was defeated for the first time, but it was still not enough for all this to come to an end, since the pact with death would cause the host of the curse to change, in this case to Daryl Cavendish, which was changing the plans, with a new goal, this one of going to the vampire's castle, defeating her once and for all, ending the chaos creature's reign of terror, somehow ridding the humanity of this fate, since the plan involves mass attacks by creatures of the night all over the world, with the intention of world domination.
Meanwhile the group was taking a rest before leaving once again for a long trip, Diana and Akko were in the carriage and had a long night of love, which they enjoyed a lot, having that contact between the two bodies that both were with all the hormones out of their skin and they even ended up falling asleep and in this sleep that started to happen something.

Diana was dreaming, having a nightmare at that time, the Cavendish suddenly appeared in a Dublin-like setting where they had several people around, many of them somewhat frozen with a colour half in a sepia tone along with the surroundings, already being a strange thing, the Scot walked on until she came across her mother Laura with her arms tied to a cross about to be executed.

Diana: Mum!

Laura: Diana... You have come, unfortunately I cannot change my destiny, my last words are for you to hate humanity for everything they have done, they were responsible for everything they have been causing to me, I ask you to avenge your mother with dignity, for all that is good in this world, do this for your mother!

Diana: What? You are not my mother!

Laura: Ally yourself with Daryl Cavendish and together you will be able to avenge me in a dignified way, do this for me, end once and for all this rotten humanity, where everyone deserves to suffer, do everything your aunt asks!

Diana: You are not my mother, come out of there monster that is controlling my mother, I will make you know my blade.

A beam of light begins to emanate, then very strong, giving a brief blinding in Diana that puts her hand over her face, which ends up revealing that it was a succubus, which took the appearance of Akko, only wearing more provocative clothes, boots up to the knee, a swimming costume well attached to the body that is very high in relation to the waist, in the chest area a neckline that descends to the navel area and also a tattoo with a demonic mark, and in the arms she had gloves that reached the elbows, using a choker in the neck and with very evident horns besides also a pointed tail, leaving the sensuality very evident and facing Cavendish that even blushed a little seeing that that one looked like her girlfriend, although the proportions are much more voluptuous.

Succubus: Oh hohoho! You broke my spell! Too bad, prepare to die, you'll be asleep for an eternity Diana Cavendish.

Diana: You won't drain my succubus energy or kill me here, I will destroy you, I will never unite against you.

Diana takes the sword from the sheath and points to the creature that lands on the ground and then steps very hard, starting to fly with everything until Cavendish that dodges the onslaught of the demonic creature, the Scot tries to give an attack with a cut, but is dodged, In this the demon takes the opportunity to stay floating, what she multiplies in several circling the one with platinum blond hair, arriving until throwing some fireballs towards the girl that is using the shield to defend herself and jumps trying to hit a copy at a time.
Soon ends up hitting the real one that even feels the impact of the blow giving a slight flying back and with that flies a little higher where the demon uses a power that the nails increase the size and Cavendish dodges, she tries to think about making a fireball to counter attack, but remembers that she is not a dhampir anymore, with that she tries to think about a way of attacking without using her old powers.

Succubus: This all could have been easier Diana Cavendish, you just had to surrender to me and choose to join my master.

Diana simply ignores, she notices that she has some spears and goes running to one of them, taking it with her hand she throws it at Succubus that was trying to attack by all means with her nails, but ended up being hit by that spear being knocked down, only that the creature didn't finish attacking, she on the ground gave an onslaught flying up to the Scottish girl that used her shield to defend herself, raising a little spark when she hit it with her claws and that was the gap Cavendish needed, she uses the sword and gives a cut that catches in the chest of the demon that screams in pain, then flies up floating and dripping blood in pain, starting to perform again the same attack of multiplying itself.

Succubus: You wretch, I won't let you beat me!

The Cavendish gets all focused and quiet, she was taking advantage of the fireballs and hitting them with her sword, making some of them reflect, going back in the copies, getting to hit the real one, what the Scottish woman goes running, jumps giving a beautiful attack on the demon that was on fire, But when trying to give a blow, the creature uses its nails and almost makes the Scottish woman be killed by hitting the shield and catching the cuts on Diana that feels that pain, that when landing on the floor puts the hand on the belly, seeing her own blood.

Succubus: Looks like someone is starting to get hurt, just a reminder, if you die here, you will die in real life too, your whole mind will die and you will be under the control of our mistress.

Still silent, Diana didn't care about her injuries, she grabbed a spear and threw it at the Succubus, which was trying to make a lunge and dodged that attack, which was only a bluff by Cavendish that, when the demon dodged, she gave a cut that caught the creature's chest, which then dodged, bleeding a little and regenerating from that wound, even laughing, while the Scottish woman remained all cold and calculating.

Succubus: I am invincible, you can try and try, the only way to get me out of here is to wake up and even then I will come back and back, every night to haunt you, you really don't know what a succubus' weakness is, but how pathetic.

Diana seemed to know, she just kept quiet, while the demon was feeling too confident, so much that she starts to give attacks on Cavendish, using her claws, by which the Scottish girl defends herself with her shield and in the gaps she takes the opportunity to give some cuts, arriving in one in which she takes off the demon's left arm, continuing with a shoulder strike where she gives a deeper cut on the belly of the creature, that goes putting the hand that was left there and was flying back trying to avoid the girl's attack, but she continued to go up, getting to rip the right arm by the wrist of the Succubus that was flying higher and with that was using an attack in which she gushed blood.
This blood was kind of corrosive, so much that Cavendish dodged and noticed on the floor that it was corroding, she then avoided what she could to not use the shield, while the demon was making those attacks, she took a spear climbed on top of the cross, she seemed to know where she was aiming, so much that the creature flies up a little higher and the chest is hit making her fall on the floor, but in this she takes the opportunity to regenerate and stands up showing a more intimidating expression.

Succubus: I'mtired of playing games with you!

The creature puts her hands forward increasing the nails of her claws towards Diana, who dodges jumping, then the demon spits fire intensely, but is blocked with the shield of Cavendish, who takes the opportunity to break part of her nails, she gets closer, the Succubus stops blowing fire, goes flying, starts to make copies of her again, getting around Diana.
The Cavendish still stayed focused, leaving no gaps to be attacked, the demon started to use much more intense fireballs, but even so she was able to reflect those and went determinedly after one of the copies which she knew which one it was, so much that by jumping, she managed to simply decapitate the demonic creature, which made its head fly back to its neck and went flying to give a lunge at the Scottish woman who jumped back as soon as the demon got close enough to give it a scratch, that's where Diana sees the perfect moment to give it a slash, only the creature ends up throwing a fireball that catches Cavendish leaving her a bit stunned and the effect really took a lot for her being human.

Succubus: You can fight, but it's not enough against me.

The demon went up Diana hitting with her claws the Cavendish's arms that tries to defend herself, getting a little more hurt, in that she, took the opportunity to give a stab in the creature's belly, knowing that she wouldn't die that way the Scottish woman gives a headbutt against the demon that stuns a little, takes out her sword and a little bruised the Scottish woman takes the opportunity to take a breath, while the Succubus returned to normal, she stared Diana deep into the human's blue eyes, she kept a neutral and concentrated expression, totally calm.
The Succubus clenched her fists and went flying at full speed towards Cavendish, this time only giving time to put the shield in front of her, which somehow ended up making her take the limit of the Scot's strength, who couldn't take it and with the impact of the blow fell backwards, which was the perfect gap for the demon to mount on top of the Scot, holding her arms, making it impossible for her to move in any way.

Succubus: Now you're going to feel what it's like to have your energy drained, I wanted to do this in a pleasurable way for you, but apparently you want it to be in a complicated way, I have to admit that you can fight well Diana Cavendish, but unfortunately I'm going to have to end your pathetic life right here.

Diana: I don't give a shit if you beat me or not, I'm not alone in this, soon you will feel the power not only of me, but of the others.

Succubus laughing: Theothers? The mistress ordered me to control the minds of one by one, you are the first of them, soon it will be a matter of time before they all become loyal soldiers to the great mistress Dracula Daryl Cavendish!

Diana: To do that you'll have to defeat me first and by the time you let go of one of my arms I'll make you swallow everything you're saying.

Succubus: A pathetic human like you? Spare me, you are easy to kill, you think you beat us when you put a knife in our chest or in our head, now if you allow me I will drain your energy, let's see who is faster then, since you claim to be so much better than me, pathetic human.

The demon quickly raises her hand and stretches her nails, releasing Diana's left arm, who puts her hand in her holster, grabbing a small dagger at the same moment the creature with her nails strikes Cavendish's chest, which in a quick and thoughtful movement hits the demon's chest exactly where the Succubus' tattoo is, who quickly gets up with that dagger stuck there, walking backwards.
Running quickly she decapitates the creature that feels the power of the blade and then the whole body starts to catch fire and dissolve, remaining only the head that starts to moan of pain.

Succubus: It can't be! How could I have been beaten by this pathetic human? How did you know about the weak spot?

Diana: Go back to the depths of hell where you belong demon, don't come to disturb my family's soul anymore!

Succubus: I... I... I failed mistress, she's too strong! Ahhhhhhhhhh.

With a groan the severed head of the Succubus also catches fire, starting to disappear too, a beam of light starts to appear in the dream, causing Diana to come back to reality, she woke up practically with a jump, looking around the carriage where the sky was still dark, she looked at her own body and could notice that the blanket that was covering her body was full of blood stains, besides her feeling a pain she had never felt before.
She went to her clothes and took a vial of potion and started to drink it, little by little her wounds were healing, but at that time Akko was
also groaning and waking up, she noticed that Diana had moved too much and immediately found it strange.

Sleepy Akko: Already up so early love, what for the scenery I'm having this morning heh, it's still dark and I see your beautiful little body.

Diana just nods, she starts to get dressed, but gets a hug from behind from Kagari who wraps it around her body, but the Japanese woman soon notices that the blanket got a bit soggy in some parts, with that she even pulled away a bit.

Akko: Diana you got all wet without me? It was just... That's... Baby, are you in those days? Why are there blood all over the blankets? Did someone come here at night?

Diana: I had a nightmare tonight, it was a succubus that appeared in my dream, I had to fight against it, it was quite difficult I have to admit, the limitations of being a human will make everything more complicated, it hurt me a lot, but now I'm fine, I even managed to defeat it.

Akko: What a wretched creature, well at least you are alright my love and did you see I said you are strong even if you are a human, you managed to defeat a demon with your intelligence.

Diana: That was pretty much it, I used what I could to manage to defeat, we would say I learnt from the best, you really know interesting tactics to adapt during the fight, do you want to know how I defeated?

Akko simply agrees with the head, the two are getting dressed already preparing for the trip that is to come, the Cavendish is telling everything that happened to Kagari that is getting somewhat amazed with the fight, how well his girlfriend did in that fight against the demon, the creativity that needed to use to defeat a creature like that, this while everyone was still sleeping.
Soon the couple had already changed clothes, the pair takes the opportunity to leave the sheet dirty with blood to throw away a little and after tidying everything up and talking, the Japanese girl starts to get a little more charmed by her girlfriend.

Diana: And that's it my love, I ended up defeating the succubus, free me from being controlled, you also almost didn't end up being her victims too, just imagine if she controls me, she could use me to make me kill all of you, some of you would come out alive, but I would die, it would be the biggest slaughter.

Akko: Oh I would love to defeat that thing, so that's the weak point, if you hit where the demon tattoo is, it ends up dying, I thought that was interesting, I was going to find that out one day or another.

Diana: You'd think you'd want to feel the succubus' breasts, because those things are over-proportioned and are a sexier version of the person you're most sexually attracted to.

Akko: So I wouldn't change much about you haha.

Diana: Akko!

Kagari ends up getting a light pat from Cavendish, but then both of them are laughing, hugging, a little more with a light mood since the demon was defeated, showing that that storm was over, although they still have many challenges ahead, things are just starting to get in a situation that can be big for both of them destiny.
Meanwhile away from there in the castle of Luna Nova in the middle of Wales, there was Daryl just waiting for the time to pass, until a bat ends up entering the castle, this creature reveals itself, showing to be none other than Elizabeth, what makes the oldest Cavendish with a big smile on her face when she sees that she arrived to ally herself as well.

Daryl: Finally you came, I thought you ran away, at least with you I can count on for my plan to work.

Elizabeth: Ye ken ah wouldn't betray ye, ye'v asked me a' alang tae be an informer fur ye 'n' offer ye everything ah knew aboot bernadette, weel, ye mist ken by noo that yin o' thae times that worthless lassie mist hae died at th' hauns o' they girls, that damned diana a'maist gubbed me! dry boak! ah swear that noo ah wull mak' it mah business tae defeat her, a'm waantin' tae see her humiliated 'n' tortured by me.

Daryl: If you notice from my form it's kind of obvious that yes, now I'm back in power, the place where it deserves to be, I'm the one worthy of being Dracula and you can rest assured about that, because you'll manage to humiliate my niece more than ever, now she's a mere pathetic human, the pact I signed made her become a weak human.

Elizabeth: Sae whit shuid ah dae noo mistress? shuid ah huv a go tae halt her halfway?

Daryl: No, this will only do her if she trains more, I can't risk my pieces, we have the strongest creatures on our side, we have to take advantage that they are coming to tire these humans, let's all wait here in the castle, facing force by force they will end up getting too tired when it comes to the strongest ones and with that we will have the golden opportunity to defeat them, if we just stay here sending henchmen to defeat them on the way, they will keep training and training, exactly what my sister did, she must have done it intentionally to make her daughter stronger and more motivated, even you were made a pawn by her.

Elizabeth then bows to Daryl's presence, she goes walking around the castle finding her corner, then two creatures with the body a bit scaly, reminding a snake, the daughters of the elder Cavendish, became gorgons, both were with the hair full of snakes, the body too, they arrived there somewhat irritated, while the mother remained in a more intimidating position.

Merrill: What have you done to us? We obeyed you, did everything you wanted, to stay in this monstrous shape? How could we be betrayed by our own mother! I swear I'll...

Daryl gets up from the throne she makes the gates of the room close, she walks slowly and in an intimidating way to her daughters both irritated in that way, one of them even crawls going very close to her mother and getting her chest puffed up about to attack her that got in a more neutral expression.

Daryl: Kill me and you'll never go back to normal, you'll be trapped forever in this gorgon form, this is just part of the pact I made with death, it's not my fault you don't know how to be obedient daughters, you disgust me for how much love and care I gave, this is how you thank me?

The two gorgons were quiet at that time, Cavendish who passed by both even shows a smile, while they are trying to understand, one even gets a sorry expression and is gesturing so that she is not punished, while the mother was walking, while the other still gets a bit with a more neutral expression, still a little indignant by the result of everything that happened. Until Daryl simply stops walking with his hands behind his back.

Daryl: You are two retards, to the point of not having a memory that doesn't work right, I told you that you would be punished for your lack of behaviour and fidelity, and I kept my promise, now you can be content with your new body from now on, if you want to get your human privileges and beauty back just kill Hellene and Diana, that's what I specified in the pact.

Merrill: You put us in this situation without our consent! You've always used us as objects, all the loyalty and all the work we've put in to work with you has been thrown in the trash for you to turn me into this hideous thing and still play with it all! How can you call yourself my mother after that? Sometimes I really think I should have been Aunt Bern's daughter...

Daryl, irritated, hits her foot, she clenches her fists hard and looks deep into Merrill's eyes that got an irritated expression, the gorgon was devastated by all that, the Vampira came very close and stared at her daughter's eyes that got the same expression, without lowering her head, but then gave in little by little starting to walk backwards, all that with just a look, which made even the creature a little scared to see that.

Daryl: You have to understand your animals, sacrifices will have to be made, I really wanted you to be dhampirs too, but I need the vampiric power not only of Dracula but also of the two of you, this is all to ensure more my victory, you would need to be some creature in exchange to be powerful, just kill your cousins, and you will have the privilege of becoming hybrids, I couldn't risk having the weaknesses of a normal vampire, otherwise I might end up dying stupidly just like my sister, You'll be useful too, look at the bright side, you're gorgons now, you'll be able to petrify them both in a few seconds, besides this is for the protection of a greater good, my castle and my empire depends on the help of you and all the more powerful creatures of chaos, don't think of it as a curse, but a privilege, I was even benevolent in giving you a new form, if you were merely pathetic humans it would be simply useless.

Maril: A thousand pardons for all my infidelity mother, I as your loyal daughter will self flagellate myself in honour of you, I betrayed your trust and no longer deserve to be considered until I am ideally punished.

Maril began to whip herself torturing herself with the blades, while the other daughter still remained with an indignant expression seeing all that, the mother of the two sat on the throne getting all relaxed and quiet, just taking the moment to give it a rest, Merrill just turned her back and was dragging herself to get out of there.

Daryl: Where do you think you're going?

Merrill: Iwill stay at my post waiting for the presence of my cousins, I will do my duty, I am not a bootlicker like my sister who stands there mutilating herself in the name of the lady, this is ridiculous.

Daryl: I would normally punish you with a slap in the face and lashes, but staying in this form is punishment enough, so stay in your corner, freak.

Merrill goes through the gate, practically crying, and goes to her corner, while the other sister keeps punishing herself, whipping her to a point where she was opening some wounds on her body, the older Cavendish simply watched enthralled seeing her own daughter mutilating herself that way, until she hears more knocks on the door.

Daryl: You can come in!

Who ends up passing by is Chloé who goes walking around the room seeing Maril self-mutilating, even getting a little scared with that scene, but she just kept going, getting to kneel for the elder Cavendish, who got up and took a staff and passed by both sides of the Deppailer's body that then gets up with the order of Daryl.

Daryl: Your time has come Chloé Deppailer, you will stop Diana Cavendish and her friends from getting here, they are going on a route leaving Edinburgh and coming here your mission is simple, murder them all and come back here, I trust you for that mission.

Chloé: So the mistress authorizes me? I can finally settle accounts with the cursed one? I will gladly go my sovereign!

Daryl: Of course I authorize it, take the best weapons and leave here immediately, they will soon get here, don't take too long.

Chloé: I thank you very much my master, I will go immediately to the meeting with these damned ones, I will kill them with all my pleasure, I was coming here precisely to try to ask you about this, but I almost hesitated when I saw that your daughter seemed a bit irritated and crying, something must have affected her I imagine.

Daryl: Good to know I have loyal subjects, so you can go, about my daughter, I didn't mean to say, but let it be a warning, she is just a disobedient rebel, she wouldn't respect my orders and got angry because of a punishment that was already destined to happen, she was a weak and unfaithful to us, she took what she deserved, only she is not obedient like my daughter Maril.

Chloé bowed to the queen once more, with that she was leaving the hall room, with that even Maril stopped mutilating herself, facing her mother with a bit of seriousness due to the decision her mother ended up taking, even questioning a bit, this waiting for the time to pass so she could ask the question.

Maril: You said you didn't want to send anyone on the way, but now you are sending Chloé Deppailer to meet them, practically saying you want to send a henchwoman, did you lie to us mother?

Daryl: Are you doubting your mother? Are you calling me a liar? I can't believe this can come from you Maril, the daughter I most admire and respect, the strong and obedient daughter, but I'll tell you what made me get to this point, Chloé is useless, she's a mere pathetic human, she got a little deluded by my offers and she's going to meet her death now, I don't doubt at all that the girls will kill them now, we will only do it to test a little and observe how Chloé will be killed, kind of obvious that a pathetic human will die in a short time, even more against all of them, even Diana as a human can easily defeat Deppailer, I imagine.

Maril lying on the floor crying: I am sorry my sovereign mother, I did not mean to doubt you, I ask for all the forgiveness in the world, I am a terrible daughter, please punish me in a way that I deserve forgiveness for my actions.

Daryl gets up, she chains her daughter, starts whipping the gorgon, who is screaming of pain and crying, being punished by her own mother, while the whip was rolling, leaving her more wounded, her back and the rest of her body was filling with very evident wounds as the lashes were increasing.

Daryl: Don't think that it will be only lashes that you will suffer, your infidelity is a very serious crime, your torture will be something that will make you understand that I am the only sovereign here.

Marilyn crying: Forgive me for everything mother, I didn't mean to doubt you, you know that I was only in doubt, it was the demon of doubt that devastated me and I ask you to make me suffer as much as necessary to get rid of it, I don't deserve to have this thing in my body, I must obey it without thinking twice.

Daryl: That's it, keep repeating, no crying, if you cry I'll increase the lashes, you have to be strong, a soldier loyal to me must be cold and emotionless, must be cruel, come on, beg for my forgiveness more.

Mari swallowing her tears: My perfect sovereign, I ask you to forgive me for all that has happened, I ask you to receive my forgiveness, I ask and beg for your goodness that is in the bottom of your heart, I will be an honourable servant and faithful to your ideals, I have doubted wrongly and this cannot be an acceptable thing, I beg you to accept my forgiveness and my apologies, I know that I have erred, but this was not in an intentional and slanderous manner, I am a mistake, an aberration.

Daryl: That's right, now you can be silent, for there are fifty more of these to go, then I will release you, being in this shameful form is punishment enough, I hope you understand my message, I Daryl Cavendish am perfect and must not be questioned.

The situation is starting to show its faces, Diana had a nightmare with a succubus presence by which she was defeated thanks to intelligence and cleverness that Cavendish has been having in battle to also know where was the weak point of the creature, already Daryl, is beginning to move their pawns to go sacrificing the no good, In this case, it's not just a matter of time before we get to the end of the night, but also of the end of the day, when we can see that we're in the middle of the night and that we're in the middle of the night and that we're in the middle of the night.

See you, Succubus witch...
