The succubus was in an alleyway, and was currently eating a raccoon that she had caught.
"I thought…that Earth would be better. The man lied. Why would he lie to me?" she thought, a tear dripping down her cheek. Suddenly, a blast of lightning shot at her, sending her flying backwards. She stood up, dazed, and then took in her two attackers. One was a tall demon, whose skin was blue. The other was an African American male, who had a black and blue.
"Wait a minute Devil, she's just a kid!" the second man yelled. "Bats said that we would be fighting something dangerous. We shouldn't be attacking her."
"That's just what she wants you to think." Blue Devil said, charging her with his trident. The succubus flew over him, landing behind him. She attempted to pounce on him, but a blast of lightning shot her to the ground.
"That's enough." Black Lightning said. "I don't want to hurt you, kid. I know you're just scared, but I'll have to if you keep attacking my friend." The succubus stared at him for a moment, and then flew towards him, claws outstretched. She tackled him to the ground, and then began to mercilessly scratch his stomach.
"Kill!" she screamed. "You are trying to kill me!" Blue Devil then ran over to them, and kicked her off of Black Lightning. He then fired a blast from his trident, which sent her slamming against a wall. She tried to get up, but then everything went black.
"We can't kill her!" a familiar voice said in the darkness. "She's just a kid!"
"Come on Jefferson! Don't be a such a stubborn ass!"
"You're an ass for even suggesting to kill her!" the voice said. The demoness opened her eyes. The attackers from before were standing there, arguing. The demoness then looked around, and noticed that they were in a house, a beautiful house. It was fancy, with nice chandeliers on the ceiling, beautifully carved walls, a nice red carpet on the floor, a couple of couches, and a fireplace on the other side of the room. The succubus, however, was chained to a wall. She hated the chains, hated the captivity. She thought about how much she wanted to rip the two mens' heads off. She thought about how much the chains made her want to scream. She almost let out a loud yell, but then someone else walked into the room. It was a woman. She had black hair, and was Caucasian. She had blue yes and appeared to be in her early twenties. She was wearing a magician's outfit and a black cape.
"Guys, she's awake." The girl said. All eyes turned to the succubus, who glared at them menacingly.
"Let me go." She growled, starting to become scared. She remembered the torture that happened to her when she was in chains. She remembered being forced to lay with many a demon, as well as some of the unspeakable things some of the demons did to her. She still had a couple of scars on her back to show for it.
"Not a chance." the other demon said, interrupting her thoughts.
"I actually agree with Lightning." The woman said.
"Thank you, Zatanna." The man called Lightning said, letting out a sigh of exasperation. "I like you Devil, but sometimes you can be pretty pig-headed."
Zatanna gave a glare at the two men, and walked over to the succubus. She leaned down so that they re now at eye level.
"What's your name?" she asked. The succubus just glared. "You don't have one do you?" Zatanna asked, not expecting a response. "Can I call you…..Nicole? The succubus liked the name: Nicole.
"Nicole." She said, liking how the word flowed off of her tongue. "Nicole. Yes, I like that name. I am now Nicole."
"Good." Zatanna smiled. "Why did you attack them?"
"They attacked ME!" Nicole yelled. "I wasn't hurting anyone! I just want to live! I want to be free!" she screamed at her, letting her anger loose. "You are horrible people! I left that god-forsaken place for a chance at life! Instead I was just hurt all over again! Why does this happen to me?! Is this some kind of cruel joke?! That's all my life is, a stupid, horrible, disgusting joke!"
"It's not." Zatanna said, trying to calm her down. "I know you were just trying to defend yourself. I know you're scared. Trust me, you're not in trouble. I'm not mad at you. I'm here for you now." Nicole looked at her, trying to see if she was lying. The truth then dawned on her, Zatanna was telling the truth. She could be free, happy. She could live an actual life. She still had some questions though.
"People don't like me. The few I've seen were scared of me. I don't look like them." She said sadly. Zatanna let out a laugh.
"I can help you with that." She said, running out of the room. A minute or two later, she came back with a necklace. "This is enchanted so that you will look human. It's called a glamor charm. You will look like whatever you desire."
"I don't know what I want."
"You'll find out." She said.
"Ok." She said.
"Do you want to stay with me?"
"How do I know if I can trust you?" Nicole asked, suspicious of Zatanna's true intentions.
"You can trust me."
"No…not yet. Not now." She said. Zatanna then sighed, annoyed with Nicole's decision.
"Just don't hurt anyone, and take this." She said, handing her a piece of paper with a phone number written on this. "Call me if you need me." Nicole just nodded. She didn't know how a phone work, our what it even was, but she knew she'd find out what to do with the number sooner or later. Zatanna then untied her and brought her out of the house and back into the alley. She then handed Nicole some money. "You'll need this for later."
"Thank you Zatanna. It means a lot. I'm finally…um..I don't know what it's called."
"Is loved the word you're looking for?" Zatanna laughed.
"Y-yeah. Loved. Thank you for…loving me." She said, hugging Zatanna. She then jumped up into the air and flew away.
"I hope she finds what she's looking for." Zatanna said.
"Come on love. You know that letting the creature go is gonna bite us both in the ass." A man said, walking up to her and pulling out a cigarette.
"Shut up John."
