I12DT: Happiness Depends On Ourselves

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

The subtle encouragement from Mallory had a dramatic effect. Regan relaxed her defenses on her emotions, letting the newly created demonic desires and impulses start to run free. All sorts of dark thoughts started running through her head.

"I just want so much," Regan says greedily, "Ever since I've gotten this body. No matter if it was Christie, Alex, Kay, Theresa or...or even Ms. Valentine. I want them all in so many different ways."

The little voice that had been telling her this wasn't who she was had faded away under the din of pure desire.

There was a wild look in Regan's eye and a growl in her voice, "How do you deal with it? I feel like I'm going to fucking explode."

"I find ways to let it out at times." she says, flashing Regan the memory of impaling her while inside a corpse. "But mostly I temper it, make sure when it does come out I can savour it."

Regan shivers at the memory.

"Teach me," Regan says.

"It's not that simple, though I'll gladly help you. You have to find something that feels right, let's you let out that explosion in exactly the right way. Have you ever killed something?" "Or someone?"

A memory flashes through Regan's head. On the plains of Limbo, straddling another lost soul. Strangling her as a crowd of demons cheered. At one time, the memory would have been a painful one. Now, it was exciting.

"Yes," Regan says.

It's probably a good thing Mallory has a decent amount of self-control because that memory certainly strikes a chord.

"Then maybe that's a place to start." she says, not at all getting excited about the idea. No sir.

Regan dwelled on the memory for a moment, replaying it in vivid detail. At the point, anything resembling "Regan" was gone. Replaced by twisted desires and impulses that had been set free.

"What do you suggest?" Regan asks, smirking.

"So?" Regan says, "I want them to see me. I want them to feel fear."

Regan's voice trembled in anticipation at dark fantasy running through her head.

Regan smiles, "Fine. Then I'll just hide."

Following her newfound demonic instincts, Regan's demonic aspects seem to fade away, hiding themselves under some sort of glamour. Her wings fold up under her jacket and her horns seem to shrink down until there's nothing left. Even her teeth and eyes hide themselves behind a facade of humanity.

"Better?" Regan asks.

"No, but that's just my opinion. It'll do just fine for everyone else." she says, getting up to grab her coat.

((After the Hunt))

Regan sits on Mallory's couch, her demonic features no longer hidden. The excited and exhilarating high of the kill had faded, but she was still enjoying replaying the scene in her head. It was more addicting than any drug.

"Is it always that fun?" Regan asks.

"It can be." she says, walking in from the kitchen with two glasses of wine, setting one down on the table in front of Regan. "It should always have a certain sense of purpose to it. Otherwise you're just... disposing someone."

Regan picks up the wine and takes a slow sip as she considers what Mallory is saying.

"I think I understand," Regan says, "There was something...fulfilling about the whole thing."

"Kelly was a girl I wanted so very, very badly, back when I was alive," Regan says, "She betrayed me and used me. Humiliated me to my entire school."

Someday I'll make her pay for that, Regan promises herself.

"Why?"

Regan summoned the sword to her hand and offered the blade to Mallory.

"Be very careful not to cut yourself," Regan says, "You wouldn't enjoy the consequences."

She takes the blade and for a moment she wonders what would happen if she struck down the little demon with it. Then she turns her eyes back on the sword and runs a finger along the flat side of the blade.

"You know, if she ever confronted you about things this could probably hurt her enough for you to get away..."

"Yes." she says with a genuine, almost dreamy smile. Of course genuine for her means rather disturbing, in part because of how honest it is.

Mallory could see that hungry, greedy need sparkling in Regan's eyes again. The demonic girl runs a clawed hand along Mallory's leg.

"Are you going to make me yours?" Regan asks, a teasing tone to her voice.

"This has been a very educational night," Regan says, sprawled on Mallory's bed. Her clothes had been discarded somewhere in the living room, but Regan felt no particular need to go looking for them.

It didn't take a telepath to see the adoration in Regan's eyes, but Mallory could easily sense the influence she had gained over Regan. The demon girl absolutely worshipped her.
