Blink. Blink.
Little by little, my vision grew clearer and clearer until everything around me came into focus. A bed...a wide one for that. And I was lying on it.

It smelled like sandalwood with traces of lavender. Quite pleasing if I were to offer my opinion. But that was not all there was to it. From beneath those fragrances, my succubus could pick up the scent of a male. This bed belonged to a male who was no human judging from its complexity.
A demon?
An angel?

Whoever it belonged to didn't matter as to how it made my womanhood tingle. It was such an alluring scent, so much that I found myself sniffing the pillows under my head just to satisfy my curiosity.

'Snap out of it Lily! You were abducted, remember?!'

Oh, right. I had forgotten about the painful encounter with the two-winged angel. Had they brought me here? Or had my brother intercepted me on their way?

"Argh! Do angels do abduction these days?" I groaned getting up, a blanket of boredom descending on me heavily. I was sure as hell in no mood to negotiate about my freedom. It was clear as daylight that they needed something from me for them not to have killed me back there.
How easily I had been captured. So much for being a small deity.

My back was a bit stiff from how hard that angel had squeezed my body. I was surprised that my backbone was still intact. Or had they healed me?

The first thought that came to mind, even though foolish, was to bolt through the closed door since the window was useless with its bars. And running, was what I did. But the second my hand touched the door handle, a kind of electric current buzzed from it and into my body before I was sent flying through the room like a dart.

My back slammed against the plain wall before proceeding to fall on the dresser, hitting the side of my head in the process.
"Dammit!" I cursed furiously writhing on the cold floor. That was quite a throw. Better than any I had seen in the Olympics.

While the blow I had received on my head would not cause any tear due to my supernatural body, it did leave a trace of pain. No being was immune to pain that's for sure. But ours didn't last like humans' did. Within a blink of an eye, it was gone.

Being aware that my little fleeing plan might have alerted my abductors, I turned my attention to anything sharp that could be used as a weapon.
After a minute of rummaging through the dresser and night table, I only came across...a cross.
Was it safe to pick it up?
Could it be blessed?

As thoughts raged inside my head, I reached into the drawer to touch it for confirmation.

"Wouldn't do that if I were you!" A voice cautioned out of the blue. A feminine one.

I gasped jumping to the side as my head turned to its source. Right in front of the barricaded door was a brunette, at least five foot six tall, shimmering golden eyes that made light appear so delicious. Her slender body was clothed in a sophisticated type of white leather-looking pants and top that outlined every curve on her.
With her hair held back in a high ponytail, one could see every facial feature and succumb to her radiant beauty; the small lips painted red, and the pull in her eyes was irresistible as well.

For a moment, even I couldn't look away.

"Sapphire," she said.

"Huh?!"

"My name is Sapphire."

"Oh! Um...I'm Lily or Lilura if you want my real name so that you'll banish me from the human realm."

She immediately laughed. Her giggle, delicate and attractive. Damn! Was I falling in love with my abductor? But...I had never been into females my whole life.
"You're so cute and naive. How have you lasted here for so long?"

"Well-" I pushed myself off the floor to stand, my hands dusting my clothes, "-humans are very lovely creatures."

She laughed again, but not with as much amusement as before. "Lovely you say? I beg to differ. You of all beings should know just how wrong that statement is. Sure they were created as sinless, but when they were tainted by evil, their nature became worse than your kind."

Was she insulting or praising us? Hard to tell. But from the fading smile on her face, I could tell she wasn't their greatest fan.

"That aside, why did you angels abduct me? Wouldn't it have been easier to just kill me?"

She grinned widely walking forward. "That is true. But we both know that killing you would cause us much trouble. Besides, I've liked you for a really long time. I love how you take care of some of the dirt walking amongst humans."
So she knew everything?
About my parents, how I lived on earth!

"You see, my unit was once assigned to monitoring you a few decades ago. Some agreed on sending you back to your realm but I just couldn't let such an unrecognized heroine go to waste. You see-" she reached out and caressed my chin, "-I always want to do the things that you do. But punishing humans is out of our capabilities. Therefore I felt thrilled watching those dirt bugs die while deep in their fucked up fantasies."

Shesh! Was all that coming from the sweet and innocent-looking face in front of me?

"And that, is why we brought you here."

"Huh! I'm still not following..."

She pressed a finger on my lips. "I promise you, we won't hurt you. As long as you complete the task assigned to you, you'll leave this place within no time."

I blinked twice, searching through my mind for the kind of task an angel would have for a demon.
She must have seen my cluelessness. "It'll benefit you greatly, trust me."

I gulped down my tension and forced myself to ask, "What kind of task?"

Sapphire smiled wickedly pulling away from me. "It's an easy one with benefits to your kind... Make Love to an Angel."

"Huh?!" My ears must have gotten messed up during the attack. "Come again?"

Sapphire broke out in an amused laugh turning away from me. "You see, my partner is one tough angel. But he's the best in all the ten special units under Michael. I love him to death so it hurts me to my soul to ask another woman to have sex with him. But..." She glanced back at me with a sweet smile, "You're only to do it in his dreams. Touching him as much as a hair on his head will cost you an arm. I know you can regenerate, but the pain will sure be deep as inferno flames."

How...how could she threaten me with that smile on?

Was this unit full of psycho angels like her and Rafael?

Thinking of her so-called partner gave me the shivers.
"Oh! And also, I must warn you. He hates your kind with every part of his body and soul. He has killed all the previous succubuses we brought to help him. So be careful." With that, Sapphire began heading for the door, leaving me half-confused as I tried to process the information.

"Wait!"

She turned her head slightly.

"How am I to carry out this task if he's awake?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "Dunno. That's up to you to figure it out. I was just here to warn you since I genuinely like you." That was all she added before walking through the shut door.
