Picnic day, we are in the middle of a pasture, near a lake and a forest in the background. The family is together, we are having a picnic, Darling is near the water trying to catch something to eat later, my daughters Kasumi and Charlotte are next to me, we are having a nap, hugging each other, in their faces, you can see an unmistakable smile from being next to me, my mother in law is typing on the laptop and her daughter is listening to music lying on the blanket next to us. That Fox Goddess seems to be reading a book under a tree, the fly girl is in her head sleeping, and the fish girl is swimming in the lake. The stupid angel is screaming for help while she is just a couple of meters away, she looks like she is in agony full of pain and despair, what beautiful noises she is making.
....
Wait a minute, that last one is wrong. If my daughters see her like that they will be sad, they will cry a lot, and Darling will hate me. I have to change it as soon as possible.
Time starts to slow down until it stops, no one moves in the slightest. I get up from the blanket and grab a couple of cookies as I walk over to the angel. What would she usually do? put her on the radio? no, we're supposed to be enjoying a family evening. It has to be something quieter, like what? I know, she's cooking, she's having a barbecue and preparing our lunch!
I raise my hand and give a click, in a split second she was next to a grill preparing a couple of skewers, she is wearing only a tablecloth and her face looks scared by a huge flame that came out. If that's better, I think this would go better with the personality of that glass bottle. The others are sure to be happier with it.
I finish eating my cookie and get ready to go back to where I am next to my daughters. One of the advantages of being a succubus is that I can manipulate dreams to my will, so why not take advantage of them and dream what I want, right?
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
"Just look at you, now no one's afraid of you"
"Now you're just a puppet, you're just everybody's plaything"
"You used to be known as a harbinger of death, and just look at you now"
"Hiding in the background, playing house, denying your true purpose"
"Who is there!"
"Reveal yourself!"
"Get out of my head now and maybe I'll let you live!"
I shouted into the darkness of the forest, where the voice seemed to come from. I even had my scythe in hand ready for a fight.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"You still use that as if you have any idea what you're doing."
"...."
"My name is Profound Darkness, at least that must remind you of something, right?"
"What a stupid name!"
"If you want me to kill you fast just come here and I'll make it real for you"
"......"
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Damn, please stop, you're making me laugh nonstop."
"Your mind is so fucking messed up it's like looking at a page shredder"
"You're inside your own dream remember?"
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"You can't kill me in any way"
"...."
"But I'm not your enemy, I'm on your side."
"I just want to help you, that's all"

In the darkness of the forest, a new silhouette came into view. A dark girl, so dark that outside of her form nothing else could be seen, even though I was relatively close to her. But her voice didn't come from that, every time she spoke her voice sounded from a different direction. What the hell was that thing?
"On my side?"
"What nonsense is that?"
"I don't need help from anyone I don't trust!"
"Come on! even with your sieve of a mind you can't be that stupid"
"Isn't it as clear as day?"
"You are being manipulated, for a long time, you have always been in the claws of someone else"
"Even longer than you realize"
"They are my family!"
"These people are the only ones by my side!"
"They would do anything to help me!"
"They would never betray me!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Your mind is a garbage can that is barely able to remember important things."
"And yet you keep repeating it endlessly to yourself over and over and over again"
"Like you're afraid to forget it"
"You trust them more than you trust yourself?
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"I must trust them!"
"They are the only people by my side!"
"They would do anything to help me!"
"They would never betray me!"
"Are you sure?"
"I must ..... trust them!"
"They are the only people by my side!"
"They would do anything to help me!"
"They would ..... never betray me!"
"Can you confirm it?"
"I must ...... trust them!"
"They are the only people ....... by my side!"
"They ...... would do anything ..... to help me!"
"They would ...... never betray ...... me!"
"You are being used!"
"I must .... trust ...... them!"
"They are. ..... the ....... only people ...... by my side!"
"They ...... would do ..... anything ........ to help me!"
"They would ......never ..... betray...... me!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Is your mind wandering so easily?"
"You sound like a fanatic saying over and over again the same prayer"
"Like you're praying for forgiveness to them"
"I must trust them!"
"They are the only people by my side!"
"They would do anything to help me!"
"They would never betray me!"
"Now you're saying it like you are crying?"
"Do you have so little faith in them?"
"Is it so easy to make you doubt?"
"And what do you think will happen when the real test comes?"
"They will abandon you when they learn the truth that you forgot!"
"I TRUST THEM!"
"THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE BY MY SIDE"
"THEY WILL GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP ME"
"THEY WILL NEVER BETRAY ME"
"THEY WILL BE THE ONES WHO WILL SAVE ME!"
Cold and fear take hold of me.
"Cesar saw in me much more than anyone else"
"He will die first rather than betray me"
"He will make the gods, angels and demons who took advantage of me pay!"
"He was the first to see beyond the purpose for which I was created!"
"He found my daughters, my family, my friends... Everything I have and I belongs to Him!"
"All that I have and am belongs to him because I gave it to him."
"He is worthy of my absolute trust!"
"I trust him more than I trust myself!"
"Well good, at least you're able to keep something inside your hole-ridden head!"
"Maybe we can do something and get our revenge!"
"Our?"
"But you must remember who you really are!"
"You can't hide your true nature forever!"
"Sooner or later it will come out!"
"I will make sure of that! To honor your true purpose!"
"From what was stolen from you, your future, your person, and your ....."
"......"
"He... will know justice ...... vengeance ..... from .... our ...... hand!"
I couldn't accept it, she couldn't win, and I wouldn't let her get close. She was a danger I had to hide. For the sake of my family.
