Gabriel awoke for the first time in a while on Kevin's couch,he had almost forgotten what it felt like to have a place to call home,his bed was occupied by Carmen for the time being so he was forced to sleep in the

couch.By the time he awoke everybody else was asleep except Kevin who was in the kitchen making coffee...

Gabriel-Good morning doc.

Kevin-Good morning Gabe, how did you sleep?

Gabriel-Incredibly well.(That couch in the bar was awful in every way.)

Kevin-I'm sorry that we had to give Carmen your room but we didn't know if you would ever come back.

Gabriel-I'm ok with that, the couch is fine.

Kevin-Would you like some coffee?I would have made you sooner but you got up early.

Gabriel-I don't get much sleep these days.

Kevin-Are you still afraid of that power?

Gabriel-Yes.

Kevin-You have what it takes to control it Gabe, don't let it scare you.

Gabriel-I'll try.

Carmen got up from bed anxious and immediately run downstairs to see Kevin.

Carmen-Doctor!

Kevin-What's going on?Are you alright Carmen?

Carmen-I am fine, I just saw a strange dream.

Gabriel-A dream?

Carmen-There was this boy....and a girl....in a school.

Kevin-Calm down Carmen, what else?

Carmen-The girl killed the boy, like sucking out life from him with a kiss.

Gabriel-A kiss?

Carmen-It felt so real doctor, I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Kevin-It was just a nightmare Carmen, sit down, would you like some coffee?

The commotion awoke Mak as well...

Mak-What the fuck is going on down there?That prick has been here for one day and we already can't sleep.

Gabriel-Shut up you moron, get down here.

Mak came downstairs and met with the rest of them...

Mak-What?

Carmen-Sorry to wake you Mak, I just had this weird dream and got scared, it felt so real...

Mak-A dream?Precognition maybe?Or Astral Projection?

Carmen-What do you mean?

Mak-Did it feel like you were there?Did you watch it from someone else's perspective?

Carmen-I was there.

Mak-Astral Projection then.

Gabriel-Woah, care to explain?

Mak-Oh, we have the idiot to educate once again.

Gabriel-What was that?"Gives Mak an angry look"

Mak-Nothing.

Gabriel-Go on.

Mak-Astral Projection.An out of body experience,the psychic leaves behind the body and travels only with a mind projection of himself, witnessing an event as it's happening.

Kevin-So...Carmen saw an event the same time it happened?

Mak-Precisely.What exactly did you see?

Carmen explained in detail what she saw in her dream, Mak immediately figured out about it...

Mak-From what you said I can think only one thing.

Gabriel-And that is?

Mak-A succubus.

Kevin-Succubus?

Mak-Female demons, they seduce men and devour their souls for themselves.

Gabriel-A demon?Why would Carmen see such a thing in her sleep?

Mak-Carmen probably thought a lot about our conversation last night, about you being half demon, her subconsciouss basically forced her to witness another demon in action.

Carmen-What do we do now?

Mak-What do mean?

Carmen-Shouldn't we try and stop this?

Mak-Do you even know which school it was?

Carmen-No...

Mak-I want you to try and focus as much as you can in recreating the image in your head, Clairvoyance should kick in and clear some thingss out.

Gabriel-Untill then?

Mak-I go take a crap.

Gabriel-Fucking ashole.

Carmen went outside to the yard to focus on the scene she saw in her dream, Mak went to the bathroom, meanwhile, Gabriel sat with Kevin at the table and enjoyed their morning coffee, Gabriel then asked Kevin...

Gabriel-What's with this succubus thing?

Kevin-You heard Mak, a demon.

Gabriel-Demon huh?

Kevin-I understand that you feel a bit uneasy about this.

Gabriel-That's not it.

Kevin-Then what?

Gabriel-I can't get a damn day off.

Kevin-You knew this when you chose this path Gabe.

Gabriel-I know.Any other information on succubuses,before that prick comes out of the bathroom.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Kevin-I know that they are called succubi in numbers.

Gabriel-Very informative.

Mak-What is up?

Gabriel-Come here short-ass.What else do you know about succubi?

Mak-Other than the fact that they suck the life out of you,they are weak when it comes to combat,they avoid it all costs,normaly demons can't cross and come to our plain.

Gabriel-Are you serious?

Mak-Succubi aren't strong, they are the only demon species that can come to earth in their own form, stronger demons can only posses their victims, even stronger demons have to be summoned by external means in

order to even get a chance to do their thing.Normally the lesser demons are those who collect souls for their masters, not many people nowadays try to summon demons, that's how they work as of now.

Gabriel-Hmmm....

Mak-I don't know anything about your case Gabriel.There hasn't been anything like you in forever,i don't know what your limits can be,nor do i know the extend of your streangth at the time.

Gabriel-How could i end up here then?

Mak-No idea,more to the point,succubi can seduce only men and absorb their souls in order to present them to their masters.

Gabriel-Who are those "masters"?

Mak-Mainly higher class demons, occasionally humans.

Gabriel-Humans?

Mak-"Brujo la Chile"

Gabriel-Come again?

Mak-Chilean Warlocks.

Gabriel-What are they?

Mak-Incredibly powerfull warlocks that could bound the succubi and use them to collect souls for their rituals, members of the "Brujeria" are called those who said they could even open portals to hell to make deals with

the strongest demons, their rituals often ended up in villages worth of human souls.Chile was afraid of La Brujeria's power for centuries.

Gabriel-Nasty people.

Mak-Although rare, they could also be in comand of succubi.

Gabriel-And they only take the souls of men?

Mak-Succubi yes,their male counterparts are called incubi,they perform the same tricks on women.Their spells are way to strong for normal humans to resist them,so they fall victims to them.

Gabriel-How does one defeat a succubus?

Mak-You don't,they always avoid confrontation and are extremely weak,to the point of Carmen being able to beat them with a single move.

Gabriel-That weak?

Mak-Espers can be very strong Gabe.

Gabriel-I have already fought espers before, while i was working as a mercenary, some pyromaniac asholes.

Mak-Pyrokinesis, the abillity to create heat and control fire.

Gabriel-Not even a challenge.

Mak-Carefull Gabriel, when it comes to epsers, their powers differentiate acording to each individual, powerfull espers could conjure energy barriers strong enough to withstand a nuclear blast.

Gabriel-Holy shit.

Mak-Other's could even conjure things using only phycic energy.

Gabriel-Like money?

Mak-Try limbs, revive themselves even when shot in the head, epsers can absorb energy from their surroundings, the stronger the vessel, the stronger the esper, level 7 espers like Carmen are extremely rare, I have

memories of an esper so strong that his Phycokinesis could change the earth's spinning.

Gabriel-No shit?

Mak-No shit.Not to mention that their physical abillities can be amplified by their phycic energy.Destroying something like...the moon is a piece of cake for a strong esper.

Gabriel-Carmen is at this level?

Mak-Theoretically speaking,yes.She can use every phycic abillity there is,her vessel isn't very big,making a normal human explode from inside out is her limit.

Gabriel-Is there a way to increase the size of ones vessel?

Mak-No, only spontaneously, by heavy emotional stress, resorting in a burst of ones energy, blasting away anything in front of the esper.

Carmen-Guys!I have found a clue.

Mak-Speak of the devil.

Carmen-What?

Mak-Nothing, what did you find?

Carmen-I found the school, it's an internal school in England.

Gabriel-England?

Mak-Yeah!Roadtrip.

So,Gabriel has found his next mission,stopping a succubus from stealing the boys' souls at a school in England,what challenge awaits ahead?Gabriel is soon to find out...
