(Anpu and Chanellelynn)

[Anpu]

Cassiel glanced nervously at his prisoner, ten thousand years had passed since the Archangel had imprisoned it there...that cursed thing...his brother, the fallen angel who had undertaken the name Halphatrax. Twisted by rage, Halphatrax had transformed from a beautiful angel of white feathered wings, pale skin, and platinum hair...into a demon of Hell. Hell, the place was his home and his prison. He was supposed to be imprisoned in Hell for all eternity. Halphatrax yanked and pulled against the heavanly chains that bound him to the ground, where he was forever burned by the fires of Hell, his brothers pitiful attempt at purging him of his sins, trying to force him to retake his angelic name and beg God for forgiveness. After the first thousand years the fires of Hell stopped burning and took on more of a stinging sensation, which soon dulled into a small itch, and soon Halphatrax felt nothing at all. "Brother, I wish to gaze upon you" spoke the demon, his voice angelic and beautiful. "Silence, foul creature, I know the trickery of you're kind!" ordered Cassiel. "You would turn from your own brother?" Halphatrax questioned, mockingly, knowing full well the outcome, he had done this thousands of times before, and each time, it amused him more and more. "IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, I COMMAND YOU TO BE SILENT!" roared Cassiel. The chains that entangled the demons entire body like a cocoon began to glow a blinding silver color, filling with holy energy and the conviction of his brother, causing him to roar in agony. "DAMN YOU!" roared the demon, his voice now gutteral and beastly, like one would expect to hear from a large wolf. Never before had Cassiel jumped from a simple command to divine judgement.  Halphatrax took advantage, however of the momentary weakness of the chains from the convictionary punishment. He sent forth a piece of his power into the world of mortals, along with a fraction of his contiousness to roam the human realm and wreak what havoc he could, as he had done so many times before.

Calmina took her coffee to the balcony as she did many a times before, and looked over into the scene below. A quiet day in the middle of march layed out a beautiful morning with a chill that nipped at her face. She was wearing one of her silken robes that her previous boyfriend had bought for her on their anniversary. She didn't mind that they weren't together anymore, however she didn't like catching him from time to time down at work.

She gulped down the rest of her coffee and began to head back inside as the wind started to pick up, the sky was a dull grey and chances of rain was high. Calmina quickly closed her balcony doors and snapped the lock shut, drawing the blinds as well. The one thing she was scared of in the city was burglars.
A recent mugging down the street threw Calmina over the edge when she heard about it on the news, someone from her building was attacked but at least she wasn't hurt. Being the only person in her family in the city made everything scary much more than it should.
Calmina came to the city to find her passion, yet it has not been discovered, and her reason for being on this earth, that has not shown up yet either.

As she got dressed for work she spied an unopened letter on her desk, yesterdays mail was scattered upon her table and the letter was easily missed due to the mess. The addressed was from her mother, home in Jersey. Calmina had not been back in Jersey in over a year, she didn't like Jersey but somehow she felt more at home here in New York than anything.  Mom addressed her as pooks, a childhood name that was never let down;

My Sweet Pooks,

Your dad and I say hello, how are you?

Mona is doing ok, I hope you sent her a letter wishing her well, I brought you up well enough for that right?
I have some bad news though, Uncle Charlie's cancer took a turn for the worse. He is scheduled to pass away within the week, I'm sorry hun.
We wish you will take the trip down, it is not far, right? I'm sure you can make it seeing as you love Charlie. You got his present didn't you? it was such a lovely gift. It is too bad he wont be able to live to see you get married and have children. He so wanted to see you happy and with a great man.
Please send my regards to your dear boss, I am so thankful he gave you a chance up there. Not many people start off as manager, remember that dear.

We love you, and hope to hear from you soon, our phone is out, don't call.

Love,
Ma

Calmina bit her lip as she read about her Uncle Charlie, he was her best friend and confidant.
A tear streamed down her cheek as she remembered  being a young girl and he would take her out on the town to places her mom would disapprove of. Charlie didn't care, she was his only niece and since his wife was long gone, Calmina was like his next of kin. She took the letter and stuffed it into her purse as she strolled to the front door of her apartment. The bolts were cheap in fashion but necessary for Calmina's fear of breakins. The apartment building she lived at wasn't known for excessive burglary's but better to be safe than sorry she though.

As Calmina shut and locked the deadbolt several of her floors tenants were on their way to work as well. A morning ritual she guessed, don't stare, walk straight, hold purse close, and don't speak to one another. Rather odd and different than from back home she would think, but used to it all as well.

The air was much colder as she exited the building, and the sky much more dull grey than before. A storm was brewing and she could tell it will hit as soon as she got to work.

[Anpu]

Halphatrax's avatar reached the human realm. "Finally" The demon thought. He looked about, knowing full well that the mortals couldn't see him. He felt a sorrowful presence near by his location. Looking through the balcany of the closest building, where he sensed the sorrow. The window closed as he looked up. Halphatrax grinned, letting out a low growl along with it. He unfurled his large black feathered wings and flew up to spy into the balcany. Phasing through the pitiful glass barrier of the balcany door, he moved closer to the source of this sorrow. He quickly read the letter over her shoulder. "I can save him" the demon whispered into the womans ear "for a price." He knew that she couldn't truly hear him, but rather, he had planted the idea of a bargan into the fleshlings mind.

[chanellelynn]

A cool breeze sent shivers down Calmina's spine as she walked slowly to work along the empty sidewalk. It was 7 am and cars were zipping past on the two lane road. Across the street was a park, not as large as central park but was large enough to walk through and miss several creepers if you were to find the right path. She never took the park shortcut, just simply because she liked watching the sky. Normally the blue sky had beautiful clouds in it, unlike today where clouds were dull and scary looking. Calmina decided to cross the street quickly and take a sheltered path to work, she was never much to worry about looks but rain seemed to bring anyone down in any type of outfit.

The wind blew harder as she walked against it. The parks entrance was rather large and welcoming with its iron bars and lettering labling it as Warth streets community park. Calmina's mind began to wander as she walked underneath the great oak tree's cover. She remembered the letter again and thought more about mom and dad, especially about Charlie though.
Charlie wasn't her true uncle but an adopted family member by everyone. Calmina couldn't remember the first time she met Uncle Charlie but he wasn't an young man back then, now 23, Calmina did remember him widowing at 55, she was only 7 years old.
As she thought about him she pulled out the letter from her purse and began to reread what her mom had wrote. Charlie had lymphoma, he was scheduled for Chemo but turned it down without telling anyone why. Calmina suspected he believed it was his turn to visit the pearly gates and his life was well lived. She was always an optimist but was sad how he could just throw his life away, and only at 71.

Sitting down on a near by bench, Calmina stroked the letter as if it was a keepsake. Thoughts ran through her mind as to why and how or what if on the subject of his Cancer changing. The fact was, Cancer was deadly, no doubt. How could she save him?
She looked around at the empty park, a child's play ground was no more than 50 feet away from her with bark chips lining the area. A scene played through her head of Charlie and her running around a similar playground, laughing and having fun. Charlie as vibrant as ever.

Calmina just wished, wished so hard she could save him and live to forgive herself for not keeping in touch with him. "I wish I could save him...." Calmina trailed off, knowing no one could hear her.

[Anpu]

Feeding off of the sorrow emiting from the fleshling woman he was following, Helphatrax was slowly regaining his power. The demon went into a dark ally and in a cloud of darkness, manifested a physical form. His flesh form had messy black hair that went down to his neck, pale skin, and green eyes that seemed to glow with otherworldly intelligence. He manifested a grey V-neck sweater, black slacks, and black leather boots. He walked out and followed his fleshling victim to her workplace. Helphatrax placed himself into the path of the woman, making her bump into him. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" he said in mock apology as he caught her from her stumble, making her look into his hypnotic eyes.

[chanellelynn]

She stumbled into his arms, she could feel the smooth coldness of his hands around her waist. She chuckled and gave a nervous smile as she turned around and looked at his face. Calmina blushed at the sight of such a handsome man, she never would've found her self in a normal situtation staring into another mans eyes.
His eyes attracted her more than anything else on his body, not his hair which was terribly in need of a comb, or his clean cut dressing.
Those green eyes seemed to pull her in and make her speechless, all the while he stared back in silence waiting for sometime. She quickly pulled herself out of a schoolgirl trance and straightened up her clothing. "Im sorry, I shouldnt have been so carelessly in your way," she replied. A feeling in her gut told her to keep walking, this man could be a murderer, but who didnt make her feel that way in a new city? She fought the feeling eminating from her stomache and smiled at the man, "Im Calmina."

[Anpu]

Helphatrax smirked a bit "Calmina...that's an enchanting name...my name's Charlie." Halphatrax had already decided the name, knowing he would squeeze some more sadness, and maybe some misplaced trust, out of his victim, and possibly use those feelings to bypass the instinctual fear that humans recieve from the presence of a demon. "Please, don't apologize, it was my fault." the demon said, already begining to work his powers of seduction. "Would you be willing to let me make it up to you, Calmina?" as he asked, the demons green eyes seemed to glow for a moment as he implanted feelings of desire into his victims mind.

[chanellelynn]

She blinked slowly for more than a minute as she was transfixed onto his glowing green eyes, something about them made her feet melt on the pathway. Calmina was not noticing how much of a dip she was being until she almost fell. "uh, Oh...haha. uhm. Nice you meet you, Charlie, " Calmina held out her hand to give him a hand shake, formal yet akward in her moment of stupid.
She watched him as he stared at her with such intensity, she didnt know what to think and feel but her heart was pounding as she waited for him to take her hand in greeting.

[Anpu]

With only the briefest moment of hesitensy, Helphatrax took his victims hand, lifted it to his mouth, and kissed it. With this kiss, he forced waves of desire and lust into his victim. The only hint that he was using his demonic magic at all was that the glowing of his eyes seemed to glow brighter. "The pleasure is all mine, I'm sure." the fiend smiled as he said it, attempting to be as human as possible. "So, you never answered my question. WOULD you be willing to let me make up for my clumsiness?" Helphatrax waited eagerly, already knowing the answer...but there were rules he had to follow on the world of mortals.

[chanellelynn]

She blushed as he kissed her hand, she felt his warmth and seduction in it that she never felt before. "What did you have in mind?" she answered questioningly, as she gently pulled her hand away from him. Calmina watched his eyes still in awe by their color, and not minding whatever else he could have been doing. She was a weak girl, and falling for some stranger was different from her usual code. Mother taught her better than that, dont speak to strangers unless in need. Was she in need? She was sad, that was a need for healing. Could he heal her?

[Anpu]

"Why are you so sad?" the fiend said taking advantage of the sad look in her eyes and bypassing her question for now, not wanting to seem too eager to enter her life. In this question, a small hint of his otherworldy self came out, as his pupils narrowed into slits for the briefest moment known to man.

[chanellelynn]

A Shock jolted her out of the transe he had on her, realizing she was letting a stranger into her problems, she didnt want him to get too involved. "oh its nothing, nothing at all. I must get going," she placed her hand to comfort his worry onto his chest, a quick shock went through her fingertips as a sense of pleasure went up her spine. She wanted to stay and hold her hand against him but protested against it. "im sorry, " Calmina muttered as she pulled her hand away from him and slowly walked in the direction of work. The air seemed warmer once she was away from him, humidity had risen in the few moments she spent with the man.
She didnt walk fast, but slow enough to give him the opportunity to catch up. Calmina secretly wanted him to pursue her , just to feel what it was like to have a man that much interested in what she had to say.

[Anpu]

Helphatrax new what she was doing...it had happened a thousand times before with a thousand different humans. He walked just fast enough to catch up to her, and pressed onward. "No, really, I want to know what's making such a pretty girl so sad." as he said this, he brushed the hair from her face, sending more waves of lust into her through her cheek.

[chanellelynn]

A rush of excitement filled her as she heard him run toward her, the crunch of pebbles was music to hear ears. "No, really, I want to know what's making such a pretty girl so sad." she smiled at his request and she cleared her throat. His touch sent another wave of idiocy through her as she giggled and blushed. "oh its..." she quickly remembered the letter and instantly dropped the schoolgirl look, "my uncle, he is dying." Calmina fixed a strand of hair that had fallen into her eyes and shyly looked back at the man, trying to avoid his gaze.

[Anpu]

"Oh...I'm so sorry." Halphatrax said with false sadness. "What's killing him?" the demon asked, feeding off of the sadness from his newest fleshling.

[chanellelynn]

"If you must know," she gave him a serious look, "Cancer."
The wind blew at this moment and threw Calmina's hair into her face, her long brown hair seemed to whip in different directions as she waited for his responce. She couldnt tell if he was being sincere but his curiousity peaked her interested. Calmina checked her watch, it was already 7:20 am, another hour until work started, no rush.

[Anpu]

"Cancer." the fiend echoed the word, emitting a sudden flow of sadness. "My mother died of cancer." he said in false, but well practiced, memory. The glow in his eyes seemed to go dim as he said this. "I'm so sorry...nobody should have to suffer that pain." as he said this, he brushed her hair back with his hand, sending a wave of sincerity through her. "What's your uncles name?"

[chanellelynn]

His hand seemed to enjoy touching me, several times before he seemed to send energy through me.
"his name is Charlie actually, strange coincidence," She gasped between breaths as his hand gently caressed her face, she no longer wanted it to leave that spot. Closing her eyes, she began to remember her uncle as she was a child, cancer free and full of life. He was an old man but he kept up with her as if he was young as well. Calmina remembered him like this the best, it was hard to think about him lying in a bed and withering away. Lymphoma was his disease and she worried it would take him too soon.

[Anpu]

Halphatrax widened his eyes and gave a look of surprise to the name. "A very strange coincidence. Would you like to tell me about all of this over coffee? I think we both need something to calm our nerves, and you obviously need a friend." Helphatrax said, holding her chin, making her look into his hypnotic eyes, making his suggestion that much more irresistable.

[chanellelynn]

His request was interesting, hoping that it wasn't as strange as it sounded, him offering coffee when she herself worked at the coffee shop.

"Sure, coffee sounds good. I actually work as a barista but I dont start work until 8:30," Calmina smiled his way while she took his hand and directed it down the pathway. She started to feel confidant in what she was doing, Calmina was not used to being a leader. Her new found confidence must have generated from the trust she felt from this man, he didnt seem to be violent, rather a decent human being.
The path ended as they reached the opposite entrance, she could see the coffee bar from where they stood. Facing the street she could see the opposite sidewalk tracing the line of buildings until the cross walk began. A three way stop was at the end of the street reaching to her right, most of the buildings were apartments, some small businesses that she herself worked at. The Coffee Bar was a simple title, but quite unoriginal.

The both of them entered the Coffee Bar slowly, Calmina nodded at her coworkers and said "hello," to those who noticed her. She often came in early anyways to enjoy a quiet reading environment, this was no different except for the fact she had a strange man in her midst.

[Anpu]

"What would you like to drink?" Helphatrax asked, being as gentlemanly as possible, all the while caressing the lower part of her spine, sending waves of pleasure and arousal into the fleshling. His eyes seemed to glow again as he smiled at her.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina felt a tingle go up her spine, a feeling she hadn't felt since her last boyfriend. She instantly knew this was inappropriate and stopped him, "Before we continue, thank you for being interested but lets keep this at a friendly level huh?" She bit her lip slightly, wanting to go against her morals but she really needed a friend about now, not a lover.

[Anpu]

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." the demon lied, adding a nervous laugh for extra effect. "So, what'll you drink?" he re-asked after clearing his throat, removing his hand from her.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina gave him an apologetic stare, she just remembered she already had her coffee and scone this morning, "Im not thirsty." She took a seat at the nearby table, the seats were nicely cushioned with red velvet and the tables were round, fake redwood finish. The tables were polished neatly, showing your reflection as you looked deep into the woods surface.
One of her coworkers walked by, behind Charlie and mouthed, "Who's he?" Calmina Shrugged and smiled at her, the girl named Cindy gave a laugh and waved her and at Calmina as if to say "whatever."

Calmina waited for Charlie to sit before she decided to  continue the conversation.

[Anpu]

Helphatrax sat down in the seat opposite of Calmina. "So, you were going to tell me about your uncle?" the demon asked, honestly curious about what kind of connection she had with the man.

[chanellelynn]

"It's not much of a story, and to tell you the truth he wasn't a true uncle. We met when I was a little girl.
He's only 71 though, and I cant understand why he is just giving up." Calmina nervously took a napkin and started ripping it up into pieces, just to keep her mind off of Uncle Charlie. She didn't feel like talking about him or him dieing, brought up too many memories.
Calmina finished the napkin and started tapping the table with her forefinger, Charlie kept a cool head and level as he watched her. He didnt seem bothered by the fact he didnt know Calmina, someone so different from her. The way he was confidant and wiser that how he looked inspired her to talk more about herself than she should.

[Anpu]

"So how did you come to think of him as an uncle then? Close friend of your dad's perhaps?" Helphatrax prodded onward, grabbing her hand to stop the insessant tapping on the table, but being careful enough to send a comforting feeling into the woman. His pupils seemed to narrow with irritation as he overheard some of Calmina's co workers giggling loudly like schoolgirls over 'Calminas new catch', as though he were a fish of some sort. He could tell that Calmina could hear them too, but somehow she seemed able to ignore it quite easily.

[chanellelynn]

She could over hear her friends acting childish in the back, true, she hadnt seen a man in over two monthes so this had to be the most exciting thing to happen to them. Calmina chuckled in her mind about how screwed up that was,  she being the one thing that was interesting in their lives. Sad.

"More like Ma's, she's a certified Nurses assistant. Charlies Wife was in need of home care. I was like a daughter to him, he never had children..." she trailed off, remembering Charlie saying how his wife could never have children. Something about how she was unfertile and not built for childbearing.
This saddened her, a woman who spent most of her life wishing for children could never have one, yet to die young leaving her husband alone.

Calmina pursed her lips and smiled crookedly at the man in front of her, he was pushing but she didnt mind. His reasons for it amused her because he had no once mentioned why he wanted to know so much.
"Say, do you know much about Lymphoma?"

[Anpu]

The demon held his laughter inside his head. Of course he knew about Lymphoma, he created it after all. "Lymphoma is a cancer that begins in the lymphatic cells of the immune system and presents as a solid tumor of lymphoid cells." he said flatly. "That's the cancer that killed my mother. Why? Does your uncle have it?" Helphatrax could still hear the giggling of his fleshlings co workers, It was getting quite irritating.

[chanellelynn]

She sat back in her chair and sighed, "yea. I thought so."
Calmina noticed the banter continuing behind the counter, nothing more interesting to a bunch of school girls than boy drama. She shot them a look saying, "Stop it now." The girls quickly squealed to a quiet and broke up. Being in charge had its perks, but the best thing of all she could relax while the girls did their jobs.
"Charlie's has it in advanced stage, right now he has less than a week to live. I haven't seen him since they hospitalized him, Ma sent me a letter yesterday asking me to see him but....I don't know if I can see him like this." Calmina pulled out a picture from her wallet, in it was a picture of a man with balding white hair, the time must have been before he was in the hospital. The man was smiling, pulling the wrinkles in his face upward towards his brown eyes that shined in the light of the frame. His teeth were white but a few had caps on them you could clearly see, straight. "That's him, I took him out one day to get a professional picture done. He never liked getting his picture taken, almost all of my Polaroids are garbaged cause he would cover his face." She sat the picture on the table, letting Charlie look at it if he wished. Calmina watched his face as he looked at her, something about him was different. Different from other men that she met in the city, this was New York. Rude, crude men walked the streets. What was it about this one?

[Anpu]

"I think you should go see him." the demon said flatly. "It would make him feel better, I'm sure. I'll even go with you, if you want." The demon said, his green eyes turning gold for a fraction of a second. "I personally think it would be torture to him if you didn't go see him." Helphatrax stared into her eyes, still holding her hand to keep it from tapping. He sent a wave of desire into his fleshling. Specifically, the desire to have him near her.

[chanellelynn]

"Hah, and why would I want you to come with me?" Calmina snooted, she was trying to fight her urge to climb across the table and hold him down. Whatever this man wanted, he needed to ask her straightforward, this teasing crap was really killing her mood.
"I was actually thinking of going down there, but, I cant do anything to help him. He refused Chemo, he's done. What if he dies when im there?"

[Anpu]

Helphatrax leaned across the table and kissed her cheek, forcing more lust into her body. "Well, Calmina, I have no idea why you would want me to go with you, but all you need to do is say so." as he said this, the demon rubbed her shoulders, sending a more...irresistable...feeling into her body. He had expected to have to use this trick early, he always did. But no human could resist this feeling, even the purest of humans had fallen to it. He was quite adept at this specific power. Forcing humans to feel lust of the strongest type towards him, making them want him close by at all times. It would take a few hours for it to take effect though. "So, whaddya say, beautiful?" he prodded again.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina snatched her hand up and clapped it to the cheek he kissed, "Whoa, I notice that you like me but I just met you." She grabbed her picture from the table and stuffed it back into her purse, "I dont know what to say really, uhm." Calmina checked her watch, 8:15 it said.
An awkwardness started to settle in her body, embarassed and giddy. She felt like a teenager trying to avoid a stare from her crush. He wasnt a forceful presence to her no, but she didnt know how to handle such a strong feeling for someone new. "I need to start work now," she got up from her chair, making a skidding noise against the stone floor. Calmina looked back at him as she backed up to the counter, "What are you going to do after this?"

[Anpu]

"Well, I figure I'll go to work and hope I bump into you again." Helphatrax stood up and headed towards the door. "Oh, right." he walked over to her. "So, beautiful, could I get your email?" as he asked he brushed the a strand of hair out of her face, sending the warmth of desire into her, yet again. This time, he made that feeling straight to her heart, making it flutter with excitement. How easy it was to manipulate humans, he thought to himself.

[chanellelynn]

She bit her lip as he stroked the hair out of her face. Calmina didn't know what to say at first, her desires plummeted to an all time low making her whole body twitch. Stay calm, don't be desperate, don't ACT desperate, just give it to him.

"I uh don't have an email. I can barely make rent let alone internet bills. Here," Calmina pulled out a sharpie from her purse and tugged his hand out, she never gave a man anything other than her menu order before.
"That's my number, one of the few luxuries I'm aloud to have right now. Call me, or, stop by after work. My shift ends at 6." She twiddled her thumbs at him teasingly. He was up to something and she knew it, a part of her wanted to slap him for making such advances but she wasn't in a safe city, so why be safe at all?
"I'm warning you, try anything sneaky and you'll find an uppercut in your future." Calmina chuckled but secretly meant it.

[Anpu]

The demon chuckled for a moment. "Got it, nothing sneaky, guess I have to be straight forward then?" he said leaning in just close enough to her lips, almost to the point of kissing her. "I'll be back at 6 then." he said with a grin. He brushed her hand on his way out, sending one last powerful blast of lust through her, knowing full well that this one was powerful enough to make her climax right then and there...but that was just part of making her want him more. He knew that he had enough time to be out of sight before it took effect, so he walked out of view only saying "See ya later, beautiful." after he turned the corner, into another alley, he reverted back to his demonic form so that he couldn't be seen by the mortals and stayed just close enough to his fleshling to get a better idea of what she was like without knowing he was there.

[chanellelynn]

The initial shock of his presence so close startled her heart, what was he doing? toying with her? the girls behind the counter had started to giggle and gossip behind her near the coffee machines. A couple of patrons had been watching but couldn't hear anything that was going on. "oh, ok, see you then." Calmina gulped some air to calm her down as he stepped away and out the door. She gave a weak wave as the door clanged shut and the bell stopped jingling. "Oh, my god Cal. What was that about?" Cindy rushed to the counter from the latte machine and leaned over, her blond hair all disheveled from sweating in the hot backroom.  Calmina bit her tongue to keep from squealing. Her stomach had finally let her know that she was tensed up the whole time he stepped near her. Releasing the tension she could feel her whole body shudder, something about Charlie made her want to scream in frustration, let alone a giddiness she hadn't felt in a long time. He tried a lot of moves on her, she felt different than other girls and she still was paranoid to his motives.   She let her eyes grab a hold of Cindy's and the other girls who formed  around her. "What, nothings wrong, get back to work," Calmina shooed the younger girls away. She waited for them to get on with their business to talk to Cindy. She was her best friend, her only friend in the city that remotely tried to get to know her on her first day at work. They both leaned into each other across the counter, Calmina didn't have anyone else to gossip to, and this was definitely juicy.

"....and he decided to come have "coffee" with me. He never ordered!" Cindy watched Calmina strain over this man as if he was some strange mystery to her. She nodded in a friendly way and replied, "Look. You have to be careful with him, you did notice how he looked right? or did you only stare into his eyes the entire time? I swear, you're a harlequin romance novel waiting to happen Chi-ca." She slapped the towel she had in her hand onto the counter and settled back onto her elbows.  Calmina was in awe, her friend calling her a lovesick puppy? Oh please, what on earth made her think that?  Maybe it couldve been the fact she was, desperately in love with love. "maybe you're right Cindy. What should I do? he is coming back after I get off of work," she took off her scarf and wrapped it up, placing it gently into her purse before walking towards the back room. "I mean, he just showed up from nowhere! all of a sudden he is flirting with me and sending odd signals like he is some sorcerer." Calmina bent backwards to look at Cindy through the door frame, "You don't think...? No no no... That's crazy talk, " She went back to business, coming out of the backroom with her Coffee Bar apron.                                                                                                           

[Anpu]

Helphatrax kept close to his victim, making sure to take notes on her personality. He made sure that every once in a while, he would make her feel just the slightest feelings of desire for him. Unlike the other demons of hell, who fed on fear and sadness, Helphatrax understood that lust and sadness was a much more powerful combination. The joy and carefree nature of lust was far superior in power to fear, and it was more difficult to master the art of influencing these feelings...something other demons were too impatient to do. The fiend watched with interest as the day went by, keeping his presence so weak that none would be able to feel he was there. Calmina would never know what was going on. "Sorcerer?" he questioned to himself, the mere idea of it was not as preposterous as it sounded, many times before had he given such powers to mortals...for a price. He took interest in a particular part of the day when a drunk man stumbled into the coffe shop, the feelings that he felt emmitting from Calmina told him it was a former lover.

[chanellelynn]

The day grew on, lunch rush came through as many business types waltzed in for their afternoon Java and scone's.  She knew this day was going to be like anyother day up until the lunch rush was well over, and a scruffy man barged into the Coffee Bar. The jingling of the bell had been so loud Calmina had to twist her finger into her ear to unplug it. She didn't noticed who it was until Cindy tapped her arm in excitement as she pointed at the man who stumbled up to the counter. His odor reeked of the bar down the street, open 24 hours a day and letting any man with a buck stop in. Calmina watched him as he swung his head up towards her, she instantly felt heat swarm her head as she gazed upon her ex-boyfriend. his drunkenness had stirred up memories of her finding him late at night boozing and trashing her apartment. Using all of her money to go to the bar or get tipsy with his friends. She had enough with him and had to let him go, apparently  not changing his ways for the better to get her back. "Richard! What are you doing here?" He swiveled himself to look at Calmina, a hiccup stirred behind his lips that only parted to burp at her, he slapped his hand down on the counter and gave Calmina a puppy dog look, begging, "Please come back *Hic* Ive changed, really!" His demeanor said different, she pursed her lips and gave him a , yea of course, whatever look. "Richard, you better get your ass out of my shop, I told you if you didn't quit the alcohol Id never take you back. Apparently that didn't stick with you." She looked him over and noticed he was wearing the same outfit that he wore on their anniversary. Blue button up shirt with while slacks, now looked more like a grey button up shirt and stained black white pants. "Get some sense into yourself, change for god sakes! it has been two months Richard, get over it!" Calmina shooed him away with her wiping towel, she hated Richard's habits and rituals, and from him actually coming to see her astounded her. He was never going to change for her, she saw this, making her feel disappointed and guilty for leaving him. Richard snarled at her, before leaving he replied, "I love you Cal, you know this, I love you AAA!" He fell over the pulled out chair Calmina sat in that morning, tripping backwards and hitting his head against the wall. The girls behind the counter all started to laugh except for Calmina, her face said it all, "I don't want to see you ever, get out of my shop or I'll call Reggie to come get you." Reggie was the bars owner, and responsible for his drunks. He often took care of Richard when he was out on the town and 'forgot' to call her at night.

Richard left the shop, barely able to put one foot in front of the other. Calmina huffed as he left for the bar, another round coming up she supposed.  "Why does he do this to me? We aren't even together and he is fucking up my life." Calmina felt disrespected by Richards actions, for so long she was responsible for him but now, two months later she still feels as if he will never leave her life.
"Whatever did I see in him?" Cindy replied to her question with a simple answer, "Sex." Calmina chuckled, "yea, boy was I stupid."  She took the wiping towel and threw it across into the hamper that kept the back room door propped open. The day was winding down and she was getting ready to just go home. Of course, she remembered the fact Charlie was coming back, she groaned at the thought but didn't know why. "why am I such a loser Cindy? I can't even get excited about a man who is interested in me..." She let her head fall against the counter, but quickly remembered how dirty such a thing is and lifted her head. Cindy patted her on the back but didn't say anything, she knew that Calmina already knew the answer. She was afraid of falling for a stranger.

[Anpu]

As Richard exited the shop, Helphatrax phased through the walls, into the street. He followed Richard into into his own appartment, poorly taken care of, stinking of liquer...it was the perfect scene for what the fiend had in mind. The man was already so close, he just needed another push or two. "Just end it all." he whispered into his mind. "You already know where your pills are, and you hav plenty of alcohol around...your life is already over...she's never going to come back." Helphatrax grinned at the phenominal ease with which this human followed his suggestions. Richard downed an entire bottle of pain Viccadin and half a bottle of Vodka. All that was left was to wait. It would be a week or more before anyone noticed that this lifeless bastard hadn't been seen for a while. When Richard finally died, his soul came appeared, free of he drunken stupor his body had been in. "Wha-Who- What's going on?" asked the fiends latest meal. Richard looked at Helphatrax...the demons skin was a pale grey, like a corpse, his silver hair came down to the base of his neck, wings black as a ravens protruded from his shoulder blades, the fiends armor covered from his neck down and was a dull silver in color...and his eyes...those golden eyes, with black sclera and slit pupils eyed at the disembodied soul. Helphatrax licked his lips and grinned, revealing his serrated teeth. "Are you going to kill me?" Richard asked. "HAHAHAHA! You're already dead, stupid human." Helphatrax felt he needed to know this, because a soul filled with dispair always tastes best. Without another word from either, the demon removed the armor from his upper body, revealing his most grotesque feature, a large mouth located on his abdomen. Filled with large, crushing teeth, the mouth drooled slightly and roared as Helphatrax grabbed Richard by the head and forced him into his abdominal mouth, bit by bit. When all was done, re donned his upper body armor, and left for the coffee shop to conitnue watching Calmina...it was nearly 5 in the afternoon when he arrived at the shop. The demon crept up behind Calmina and started sending more waves of lust into her, making up for when he had left four hours earlier. He watched, with boredom, as Calmina delt with yet another asshole, who was screaming obsenities at her for not getting his coffee right.

[chanellelynn]

"Sir, can you please calm down, we will fix your order as soon as you let us, " an angry customer had decided to badger Calmina about his coffee, one of the girls accidently gave him caramel insted of vanilla. She sighed at the man's attempt at anger, he seemed more scared than anything, quite possibly allergic to caramel?
Stephanie, our newest employee came back with his coffee and sincerely apologized looking as if she might cry. "Finally! Youre luck I keep coming back, she better learn soon Dang Nabit!"  The customer slammed the front entrance as hard as he could with its slow closing mechanism. Calmina sighed and turned to Stephanie who was already on the verge of tears, such a shy young thing but everyone makes mistakes at first, however she was already a month in and there wasnt an excuse for switching the flavors. "Look, it's ok. We get them from time to time, no need to cry sweety. You do however need to pay attention, your shifts arent long, it takes little time to remember." Calmina gave her a smile and a shrug, it wasnt up to her to fire anyone but her boss however did. Mistakes were often made with newbies but he was a hardass on them, which made Calmina seem to be a better pick for boss. Mark her boss often didnt come in unless paper work was needed, she didnt mind however but sometimes she wished that the night manager would explore mopping a little more. This she would report one day.

The clock struck 5:30 pm, half an hour away from clocking out. Calmina felt a wave of releif when the last customer of her shift leave. Feeling safe enough to put her apron away and fix her face up for Charlie.

[Anpu]

The demon grinned as he observed the bizzare ritual that human women undertook to look better than they already did, it facinated him. He felt that this was another opportunity to invoke more influence over her. He waited until she was done with her make up, and began his works. The demon slowly caressed her throat, sending in powerful waves of lust and desire, knowing that the fleshling could indulge her feelings, as she was the only one in the restroom, none the less, the entire shop. He forced one last powerful wave of lust into her genitals, and left the room, thinking it un-dignified to watch a human pleasure herself. He waited in the alley next to the shop until 6, and then transformed into 'Charlie'. He walked into the shop at exactly 6 and sat down, waiting for Calmina.

[chanellelynn]

(( LOL))

Calmina sat against the stall wall breathless, she couldnt beleive what she just did. All her pent up energy and tension gone. Her watch said 6 pm, but her face was red as strawberrys. "I guess there isnt need for blush now..." she ran her hands on her face, her bony face seemed a lot more plump after the blood had rushed back to her face. She was eager to talk to Charlie again but wondered if he was the reason to her recent bout of lusting. Shaking off the thought she walked out of the bathroom trying not to giggle and smile. She noticed Charlie was on time, unlike most men, this was a plus for him she thought.
Calmina stood next to Charlie and gave her most sincere hello, "Hey, how was your day?" She had her posture in a flirtatious position, with her hip jutted out towards his shoulder and her arm with her purse thrown over her shoulder. This was unusual for her, yet again what she just did was unusual in her daily routine.

[Anpu]

"Heya, beautiful, my day was just fine, I like your make up by the way." The demon said, knowing from years of experience that he as supposed to notice ANYTHING different about her. "So, how was your day, Calmina?" he said as he stood up and kissed her hand just as he did that morning, sending more feelings of lust into her. Helphatrax was enjoying the massive amount of energy there was to feed off of from this particular flashlings lust. "Would you like to tell me about your day over diner?" he asked, looking into the fleshlings eyes. His eyes working their hypnotic powers over her.

[chanellelynn]

"Dinner?" she almost stumbled as he kissed her hand, she had a feeling through the night her blushing wouldnt make her have to redo her make up for a while. "Sure," she replied, "you choose. " She gently guided him out of the shop and onto the young night that laid outside. The sky seemed to still be a gloomy grey but the humidity had lessened. Charlie's body heat seemed to keep her warm in cool breeze as they walked along the sidewalk.

She turned to him and stared into his eyes, those eyes were telling her something that needed to be said, but she couldnt make out what it was. "Hey," Calmina poked Charlies well dressed chest, "What are you aiming for buddy?" She didnt like how she was sounding but her instinct had kicked in, finally finding its way past her lustful feelings now that her passion had recently been released.

[Anpu]

"My aim?" the demon echoed. He'd never been called into question before. "My aim is to take you out to a nice restaraunt and then walk you home, and maybe talk to you again another time." Helphatrax said matter-of-factly. Not knowing the propper response to such a question. Helphatrax took advantage of the fact that Calmina was still holding his hand, sending warm waves of trust through her, and supressing her instincts. "What brought that up all of a sudden? If I might ask." the fiend asked, now sending a steady stream of trusting feelings and comfort into the fleshling.

[chanellelynn]

She stood there trying to keep her composure, she didn't know how to react to such a responce just due to the fact no man had ever been so straight forward. Calmina took her hand in his and tried to think of a way to respond to his question, "You  are being very mysterious is all. Why is it you are so interested in me?" at this point Calmina had torn her hand from his and placed both on her hips, "Further more, how come everytime you touch me, I want to drop to my knees and pray for forgiveness for feeling so attracted to you?" She was now out of breath for talking so fast, she hadn't realized it while she accused him but now she felt embarrassed for clearly opening her feelings for him. "Oh my...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a scene.. oh boy..." She muttered. Her hand slipped to catch the brick wall where she leaned against trying not to look Charlie in the eye.

[Anpu]

Helphatrax gave his fleshling a look of dumbfounded shock. "Don't worry about it." the fiend said, in relation to her appology. "I can't explain why you feel that way when I touch you, you're the first person to ever react that way. But as for why I'm interested in you...you intrigue me." Helphatrax rubbed her shoulder to comfort her. He leaned in close to her and gently kissed her lips sending a wave of desire through her body, as well as supressing her instincts. He could feel her knees weaken and her body quivering with excitement. He sent one more wave of lust through her body, just to make sure that she wouldn't question his motives for the next few days. "You ready to go eat now?" the demon asked softly, making her stare into his hypnotic eyes by means of gently holding her chin, sending a tiny wave of complience...just to be safe.

[chanellelynn]

She couldnt explain why, but as he kissed her she immediately felt like shutting up and going with it. He had complete control over her and all of a sudden she couldnt complain, as if his touch was in control of her thoughts.

Maybe he isnt trouble,she began to think, Maybe he could be the one? Charlies lips parted from hers with a wet smack, Calmina almost fell but his strong arms  held her in place. "ah, yes," she replied to his question. Cindy was right to prejudge him, Calmina was following some strange man and falling for him. As much as she denied it, Calmina was turning into a romance novel.

[Anpu]

"Well, what kind of food are you in the mood for?" the demon asked, being sure to make the evening special for her. He had already planned out sixteen different areas in responce to this question, he knew how important a first date was to women, having done this thousands of times. His eyes seemed to glow like an emerald colored fire after that kiss, he could tell that it made her genuinly happy, which gave him far more power than it would have, had he used demon powers to inspire the happiness. He could tell that this was simply adding to the hypnotic effect of his eyes, as the fleshlings eyes were fixated with awe while staring into them.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina pondered his question, wanting this evening to turn out different than most of her first dates which ended up usually in the garbage. She wasnt hungry, at least not for food. At this thought she giggled and looked straight at Charlie with lustful eyes, hoping he was picking up on her subtlety. "Lets go to the bar insted, I want to have fun," She ran her finger up his chest to his chin, where her finger turned into a come hither reply. They walked down the block to Reggies bar, at this point Calmina wasnt worried about running into anyone she knew, cause soon she was to be drunk and not remember.

[Anpu]

As the fleshling led him into the bar, Helphatrax swiftly generated a wallet, ID, and currency into his pocket. '$1,000 should be enough' the demon thought to himself, underestimating the number greatly as no two people could possibly go through $1,000 of alcohol in one night. The two sat down in a booth. "So, Beautiful, what do you want to drink?" Helphatrax asked, giving her another sensual kiss.

[chanellelynn]

"Since I know this bar better than you, " She studied him with her finger, pointing at his face, "i'll order." Calmina waved over one of the waitresses, she waltzed over happy to see her  and smiled, "Heya Cal! Your ex dodged his tab again, sounds like another blacklisting might happen," the girl flipped her hair  revealing great brown eyes on her slim face. her name tag said Missy but her real name was Melissa. Melissa pulled out her notepad and leaned onto their table like she always did with common customers. In Calmina's case, a common distress call.
"I'll have an apple margurita hun, my friend here will start off small. Rum and coke please."  Calmina turned her head to Charlie, giving him a smirk like he better like it or else. "I dont expect to drink a lot tonight, I just need to loosen up is all," she leaned backwards and placed herself sideways to the boothes table, laying out on the seat. Charlie sat across from her, looking less relaxed but she was feeling quite happy sitting where she was. The blouse Calmina was wearing had unbuttoned itself to reveal some of her chest, she didnt care, it was late and they were in a bar.

[Anpu]

"Rum and coke huh?" the fiend smirked at her. Helphatrax leaned in and kissed her on the base of the neck, using one hand to gently caress the under side of her chin. "Ya coulda atleast TRIED to not know my favorite drink." he said in jest. In actuallity, rum and coke was indeed the demons favorite drink, there was just something about the combination that he liked, but he couldn't tell what it was. The drink was much like this fleshling, he enjoyed her, but couldn't tell exactly WHY he enjoyed her. "So, if your gonna take the liberty of ordering, I'M going to take the liberty of getting the tab, before you decide to do that too." Helphatrax said to her with a wink "After all, a beautiful girl shouldn't have to pay for her own fun...that's her mans job." the demon said, rubbing her cheeck with a smile, sending tiny wave of lust straight to all of her sensual areas.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina accidently forgot to compose herself as she giggled like a school girl, Melissa looked at her like she was crazy, Calmina noticed and grabbed Charlies hand and smiled, "ok, as you wish." she closed her eyes and smiled like a child.

The two were already on their second round when Calmina started to feel the buzz her drink gave her, she wasnt ever a big drinker just due to the fact how much it bothered her with Richard. Melissa often came by to check up on the two, hoping to get more drink orders but her attempts were foiled by Calmina's wooing over Charlie. She was now sitting next to him where he sat in the booth. She wasnt drunk but easily persuaded to act like it. her arms were wrapped around his body, but no where near places she could go.
Something told her she couldnt let anything happen, not like that, not tonight.

[Anpu]

Helphatrax smiled into the fleshlings eyes. Envying her ability to become intoxicated, as a demon her was immune to such effects. Although he had practiced acting the part many times, and had become quite convincing. "So, Calmina" the demon began after their fourth round of drinks "Were you thinking of spending all night here or did you want me to walk you home?" he asked pointing at the clock, which said it was currently 9:00 at night. The fiend caressed her cheek with his other hand, sending another large wave of lust into her, as large as the one he had sent into her while she was in the restroom at the coffee shop.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina struggled in her seat, she was already past tipsy and well loosened up. She tried not to listen to her gut feeling about just attacking him, hoping to god he was a gentleman. "Go home? psssffffffffffbbbt, I dont have work tommarrow," She downed another shot of whatever he had given her, quite possibly one of his drinks she grabbed. It went down smoother than it would sober so she was happy. "look," Calmina began to talk but her finger caught her attention, the fuzziness of it made her giggle until snapping back into reality, "Hey, what do you want to do?" she leaned her head on his shoulder, thinking of putting her hands in her pockets and hoping thats exactly what they were doing.

[Anpu]

"Well, I know what I WAN'T to do" Helphatrax began, giving her a gentle kiss. "But that would be un-ethical of both of us...we're both drunk...and it's only our first date." with each pause, he scrunched his eyes closed as if trying to make his eyes stop being fuzzy. "So I think I should walk you safe, and make sure your home the whole way." he purposefully mixed up the sentence to continue his charade. With another sensual kiss, the demon sent one more powerfu wave of lust, knowing that it would make her want him...but his plan was to make her wait...tonight atleast. "Just point the direction to your house." He said with another kiss, carying her out the door in his arms, one arm holding her torso and the other with her legs draped over it, while making sure her arms were around him.

[chanellelynn]

Melissa watched Charlie pick Calmina up with a swoop, she didnt notice how well he did it even with many drinks under his belt. The waitress laughed and thanked him as they both exited into the starlit night. She didnt want to go home, home reminded her of reality but her body gave up. Calmina layed in his arms limp and smiling, once in a while she would coo with her head upside down over his big burly arms. "weee hehehehehe, hahah youre strong, " Calmina pinched his arm  with a free hand, she could stop smiling or laughing making it obvious she was a loose drunk. "Hiccup!" her whole body bounced as she started to become gaseous. "oh boy, dont shake me too much mister, im one pretty drink you dont want to end up on the floor, " Calminas head swung from side to side as he carried her through the park and home. She wasnt sure how he knew where she lived but it didnt matter at this point, he was putting her in a safe place. "Thank you, I do hope we see each other again," she slurred. All she could do was stand in one place and smile at Charlie, the waves of drunk swayed her into the door giggling, "hahhahahaha." a snort came out of her nose ending the waves of laughing. Aserious look came upon Calmina's face as she decided to kiss him with passion.

"please dont leave," she asked, she waited for his responce.

[Anpu]

"As you wish." Helphatrax answered, giving her a passionate kiss, filling every ounce of her body with lust. He held onto her waist to keep her from falling. As soon as the fleshling oppened the door, he followed her into the house, closed and locked the door and swooped her up again. "So, which way to your room?" the fiend asked, following his question with another passionate kiss.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina's giggles started again, she tried to suppress them with her hand but needed to remove it to speak, "I...haha...MY room is over there, I dont know where youre going mister." Calmina winked at Charlie, she had morals and ethics but her subtlety was horrible. She knew what her body wanted , she knew exactly, one night of romance would kill her more than a hangover in the morning she was sure. Conscience was buried underneath a mound of drunk, unable to string Calmina in the right direction, she hoped that Charlie made the right choice until date 2 at least.

[Anpu]

"Well, beautiful, I was hoping to be on the coutch." Helphatrax said with another kiss. "I did already say that it would be very un-ethical for us to do anything on our first date, especially when drunk." he added. The demon carried her to her room and took her shoes off for her, laying her under the covers of her bed. "Goodnight, beautiful." Helphatrax said with one final, overpoweringly lust filled, kiss. He left the room and headed for the kitchen, to decide what breakfast to make for the fleshling in the morning. He deciding that eggs, french toast, sausage, and bacon with coffee was a good idea since that seemed to be popular amongst humans. He closed his eyes, to place the guise of sleep...just incase his fleshling decided to come out of her room.

[chanellelynn]

Something told her body that it couldnt sleep, her legs twitched underneath the covers. Obviously her brain wanted sleep but nothing else apart of her.
Calmina looked at her digital clock, 3 am...so she did pass out, great, why wasnt she still asleep?
A fuzziness had fogged her eyesight as she sat up in bed to only stare at her blank white wall that seemed to block her vision of the door. She could feel her body still in a drunk stupor as she stood up and attempted to walk only to fall into the wall in front of her. "ow..." Calmina grabbed her forehead where the wall hit, not a hard fall but enough to jolt the rest of her body awake. She held onto the wall for support as she turned the corner to leave the bedroom and into the living room where she hoped Charlie was. She couldnt remember anything from a few hours ago except for the fact he decided to crash here after somehow getting her into bed.

Charlie's legs hung over the side of her worn couch, he was definately bigger than the seating she had. Expected. She could barely lounge on the thing herself.
She quietly crept next to the wall for support into the kitchen, where a small lamp clicked on, revealing her hand had done so. Her tummy rumbled from not eating, no wonder she was drunker than a skunk. Something had to be in her fridge so she opened it.
The following was in her fridge, though how old she couldnt recall; bread, jam, milk, eggs, syrup and an old box of cookies that she thought might taste good if her milk wasnt questionable.
Calmina took the bread and jam which were mold free, and made a quick sandwich. She didnt know how long it took her to find the butter knife, and make the sandwich but she could barely make out the 4:20 am numbers on her microwave when she had finished. The sandwich tasted amazing on her tastebuds after a long night of sweet and sour drinks on her pallette. A few giggles escaped her full mouth when she noticed that Charlie wasn't making the usual sleeping sounds. Though, it did look the part.

[Anpu]

Helphatrax heard his fleshlings giggle. He poped up in mock surprise of the sound, looking at the sandwitch in her hand "I hope that isn't going to spoil your appetite, I was going to cook for you as soon as the sun came up." He said, sounding groggy. the demon rubbed his eyes and walked over to Calmina. He gave her a kiss on the cheek as she took a bite of her sandwitch, sending a tiny wave of giddiness through her, not his usual tactic, but he knew that once in a while giddiness went hand in hand with lust. His hand gently caressed from her cleavage up to her chin as he kissed her, sending not a sensation, but rather supressing her instinct some more, something that can't be felt. When his hand reached her chin, he made her look into his eyes. His eye's seemed to be glowing again, their hypnotic effect taking further hold on his fleshling. With another kiss, he walked her back to her room and closed the door as he left. His stomache rumbled...he needed to feed. He opened the door again "I need to go for a little while, my niece is drunk and needs a ride home from a party." He scoffed as he said it, making sure Calmina heard the disaproval in his voice. Closing the door once more, he walked out of the house and swiftly reverted back to his true, invisible, form. He turned his upper body armor into a cloud of mist and sent it skyward, revealing his abdominal mouth. He flew around the city and located a homeless man, someone nobody would miss. He landed next to the worthless creature. He imatiently held his hand out to the man, his fingers pointed skyward and his palm facing the mans chest. "Defungo!" the demon said with force, releasing a cloud of pitch black energy that tore the creatures soul from it's body. He quickly grabbed the soul, and began to devour it. When he was finished, he looked down at the corpse. It was stiff, and looked as though it had been dead for weeks. Defungo...one of the latin words for 'die'. He didn't like to use obvious magic, but he needed to feed, and he was far too impatient at the moment to wait for the creature to kill itself. He flew back to Calminas house and transformed back into 'Charlie'. He had been gone for two hours, but he walked into the house and looked around. Calmina was stil asleep...good. He started cooking the breakfast that he knew would take about another hour, Setting a cell phone that he'd materialized down on the counter, after using his power to place a message from his 'niece'...just in case Calmina needed any form of proof to believe him, that shouldn't be nececary, since he had supressed her instinct and filled her with feelings of hapiness, trust, and lust...but it's better to be safe.

[chanellelynn]

Calmina finished her sandwich in silence, it wasnt hard to accept he had to leave, not as much as it wouldve been if they slept together. After eating all that was there, she felt satisfied and went to the bathroom, where she felt even better after peeing for 5 minutes.
The bed was her next goal, she anticipated having to hold herself up, but now she was able to walk a straighter line without falling over. Happy, she hopped into bed and fell back asleep much easier than it was to wake up.

A few hours went by, Calmina only knew this because the light outside was filled with the sun, and her clock said 6 am. Her first thought was, oh, no work but then it hit her, Charlie spent the night. Smells of food entered the bedroom, Calmina noticed she didnt close the door on her way in so she clearly saw someone in her kitchen cooking. She rubbed her eyes and made her way to the living room, all the while wearing an overlarge t shirt that her ex forgot, it hung well below her butt so no need for pants.

"Smells good, I didnt think I had anything in my kitchen that could smell like that, " Calmina leaned over Charlies pan of food, it looks like meat but she hadnt seen any meat in a while, her food budget was barely enough. "That was nice of you, to get food," Calmina kissed Charlie on the cheek, and grabbed a glass for some water.

[Anpu]

"Well, I can't have such a beautiful girl going hungry, can I?" Helphatrax said. He gave her back a soft brush with hi hand as she walked by. "I made coffee for you, by the way." the demon said, pointing to the fresh pot. "Ok, breakfast is finished." Helphatrax said, placing a large quantity of each type of food he'd made on a plate for his fleshling, and gave himself an equal amount, noting that there would still be enough left over if Calmina wanted more. He had over ten thousand years of cooking experience, having figured out rather quickly that if you cook good food for a woman, it will simply make her like you more...so he knew the food would be good. "So, how is it?" he asked as Calmina was between bites.

[chanellelynn]

She had a mouthful when she began to reply but quickly shut herself up, knowing full well what bad manners equal.  She caressed his hand and watched him take his share, but not eating any. "Its amazing," she took another bite of the delicious food, none of which she could afford on her salary.

[Anpu]

Helphatrax gave her a smile and began to eat. "So, did you have anything you wanted to do today?" the demon began when breakfast was gone. He caressed her shoulders for a bit before picking up her dishes to go clean the mess he'd made from cooking. "Or did you want to just spend the day cooped up at home?" he looked back at her, waiting his fleshlings answer with dimly glowing emerald eyes.

[chanellelynn]

"I want to do something crazy but I dont know what," Calmina muttered as she ate, not wanting to seem like a pig. She watched Charlie eat, it was interesting to have a breakfast with someone after being alone. She studied him and his ways of eating, it wasnt different or the same as everyone else she met, but normal.
Calmina finished her food, stuffed, wondering wether or not he was expecting her to eat more on top of the feist he gave her.

"This time you choose buddy," she played with her fork, it flung food across the table and she laughed, triggering the slight hangover that she was trying to forget about.

[Anpu]

Observing the obvious headache that his fleshling had, Helphatrax poured her a cup of coffee. "Here, this'll help." he said, handing her the cup. "I was thinking we should go to a carnival or something...after your hangover is gone." after he said this, the demon gave her a passionate kiss, sending another small wave of giddiness through her. "And after that, we can actually go out for diner tonight." he added with a smile. "Does that sound crazy enough for you? or should we end the day with something a little more..." he gave her another passionate kiss, sending a huge wave of lust through her "exotic?" he finished, staring into her eyes.

[chanellelynn]

She took the cup of coffee and hid behind it, trying not to blush in frotn of him. Her shirt began to ride up revealing the underwear she had on from the night before, quickly pulling the shirt down to hide it. "ive never been, whats it like?" she sipped her coffee, hoping he didnt get any ideas, or so she wanted to hope for.

[Anpu]

"You've never been to a carnival?" the demon asked, honestly dumbfounded. Every human he'd ever met that was around Calmina's age had been to a carnival at least once. "I'm not going to tell you, that'd take away from the surprise of the experience. So as soon as you feel ready to go, that's where we're goin'." Helphatrax said, taking note on her previous reactions. He came up behind her and started rubbing her shoulders, sending in a slow stream of sensual feeling into her and kissing the back of her neck. He slid a hand downward and gave her a firm squeeze on her butt, sending in another large wave of lust through her as well. After the butt squeeze, his hand went back to rubbing her shoulder again. "So, just let me know when you're ready to head out, and we'll go." the demon said softly as he kissed the base of her neck again, sending a light wave of complience into her.

She sheilded her butt after he began to rub her shoulders again, never a man actually smacked it.
"Im ready as soon as Im dressed," Calmina sipped her coffee, and with her newfound sense of happiness she decided to do so fast.

Calmina had already taken a shower and began getting dressed within the last half hour between shower and breakfast, she was suprising herself even more these days. The shower especially suprised her, Charlie made Calmina feel amazing, without his touch.

Once she was dressed, Calmina hopped into the kitchen, already her hangover to a low hum. She wanted to get the day rolling, not caring that the previous day probably made it even more gloomy outside since it never rained. She grabbed her purse before realizing she forgot an important thing, her BirthControl...
"Oh Charlie, please forgive me, I forgot to take my medicine." Calmina rushed into the bathroom, she had neglected to take it the night before, always careful but took the mistake of forgetting a day. What if they did it? She didnt want to think of the consequences.

They both headed out the door as soon as she finished  her business. The day was sunny, better than expected but seemed rather cold until she wrapped herself into Charlie's chest.

Helphatrax and his fleshling arived at a carnival that was scheduled to leave town the following week, he watched her eyes light up with excitement as she looked at all of the rides and the food stands. "So, it's 11:00 am, and we have until 8:00 pm...which ride to you wanna go on first?" he asked after buying special barcoded bracelets that allowed them to go on all of the rides for free, and clasping Calminas onto her wrist for her, and held his hand out for her to take it and lead him to wherever she wanted to go to.

The day went by fast, it was already noon by the time they had ridden half of the rides. Calmina was hungry, she hadnt eaten since 6 am but was ready for something rather bad for her. "Ive always wanted to have carnival food, I want something from every booth, " She waved her hands to show him the rows of booths and stalls selling deep fried everything.
Calmina was a rather skinny girl, her figure never was one to brag about but her metabolism snapped her into shape well enough to where she didnt need to work out. She was rather happy about this but could never sympathize with those who were over weight. This being her downfall cause perhaps she could have been more sympathetic to those who watched her eat dozens of donuts without remorse.
The first thing Calmina tried was an elephant ear, the most delicious thing she ever tasted, the powdered sugar caked her nose as she bit into the tasty pastry.

The demon chuckled as his fleshling enjoyed herself, but once 2:00 rolled by, they had already ridden all of the rides and they had eaten some of everything from every booth. As they left the carnival, Helphatrax gave Calmina a deeply passionate kiss, sending wave after wave of lust into her body. "It's going to be around 4:00 by the time we get back to your neigborhood. Do you think you have it in you at all to eat diner later on?" he caressed her waist, sending a steady flow of giddiness into her. "Or should we do something to work off some of that carnival food and give you some sort of an appetite for when the time for diner comes around?" he asked, sending a large enough wave of lust into Calmina to make her body quiver with excitement. His eyes seemed to glow like green embers into hers as he awaited her answer.
