Succubus

[WP] While sitting in class you absentmindedly doodle something in your notebook that looks like a rune. Suddenly your book begins to glow. Your teacher looks at you, sighs, and says “Looks like we have another one,” then turns and begins drawing mysterious symbols on the board.

"So...in 1482 witchcraft used to be practiced heavily in this region which centuries later became this province we live in, including our little village", Jed, or Mr. Parker as he was called in the small school, absent mindedly explained his barren classroom.

"Though not every part of the region practiced the same thing. Potion concocting was more prevalent in the village of Rannwich in the north, alchemy was practiced in the South Wallen, and in here we practiced demon summoning..."

Jed looked up from his textbook to see all of his students-- 8 of them, not paying the slightest attention. There usually be 15, though 7 decided to skip the boring history class that day.

"Any question?", he asked.

A faint murmur of "No" answered his question. Sighing heavily, Jed turned back to his textbook.

"Fine then", he whispered to himself, unamused.

It had always been his dream to be a teacher. Though growing up in such a backward place didn't help his case, Jed Parker found an opportunity to chase his dream, getting a scholarship to study in the country's capital which he successfully finished and graduated as an educator.

To make it even more special, he had the opportunity to come back to his little village and be a teacher in the school he grew up in. To make a difference, to make sure the children got a better education than he did. But as reality set in, Jed's expectation was shot down to its current level...

"Alright. Let's move on to page 37...", Jed flipped his book slowly when he was suddenly interrupted by one of his student.

"What the hell?", he heard the boy in the back of the class yelped.

Jed saw the student's notebook on his desk was glowing purple. He didn't have to see it closely but he could tell, the student was doodling on his notebook. He would know, all those years ago when he was a student, he did the same thing while being bored to death by the lesson.

"Oh of course...", Jed rolled his eyes and calmly stood with a marker. Walking to the whiteboard he began inscribing some mysterious symbols with great precision.

"Mr. Parker! Help!", the student yelled and his peers began screaming in panic.

On the student's desk a hellish creature appeared. It resembled a gargoyle statue though a small one as it stood around the same height as the human students. With wings of bats, fangs of wolf, and knife-like claws, the creature hissed its beastly face at the students.

Jed finished his inscribing in mere seconds and as soon as he muttered some gibberish language, the symbols began to glow purple. It grew brighter and brighter, and in a large flash the light disappeared, leaving another figure standing in front of the whiteboard.

"Kr'Azakk! Stand down! Leave that boy alone!", said the just summoned creature.

The creature resembled a human though clearly not one. Her figure was unmistakably female, though she sported the same bat-like wings on her back. She was a demon, a succubus.

From her clawed hand, she lashed out a black whip which she controlled like her own limbs, tangling itself around the creature's neck, she pulled it back to prevent it from attacking the student.

"Whoa, who are you? Where's Mrs. Mezbah?", asked Jed.

The succubus eyed Jed when she gave him a cheeky smirk.

"She called in sick. I'm the substitute teacher, Mrs. Analar", the succubus offered her other hand to shake, which Jed took hesitantly. "But call me Lilian."

The creature called Kr'Azakk tried to lunge at the students again, but Lilian's grip on it was too strong. With a jerk, she sent a surge of flame running across her whip, enveloping Kr'Azakk with it. In a loud growl, the hellish creature was sent back to its realm.

"There we go. I'm so sorry", Lilian chuckled. "Kr'Azakk is a problem child. Mrs. Mezbah is still working on him"

"I see...", Jed raised his eyebrows. Quickly he turned to his frightened students and gave them a warm smile.

"Uhh students, why don't you take an early recess hmm?", Jed said.

His students all ran out from the classroom, leaving Jed and Lilian behind.

"It's always hard to explain to them the first time. I remember my first time seeing my teacher summoning one of you hell teachers...", Jed reminisced, walking to one of the student's desk and sat on it, waving his hand to let Lilian sat across him.

"It was Mrs. Mezbah actually, the one who showed up the first time", Jed laughed.

Lilian sat on a desk opposite Jed, folding her wings behind her, she looked at Jed with fascination.

"Is...is there something wrong?", Jed asked, feeling uncomfortable of her gaze.

"Oh no, no. It's just...you're the first human I've ever met. And I must say, I thought all of you are hideous", Lilian said. "I don't believe I got your name"

"Oh uh...Jed", Jed blushed at the beautiful demoness' remark. "And uh...I thought all of you demons are...you know...hideous too..."

Lilian giggled and she hopped off the desk. Still eyeing Jed, she walked up to the whiteboard.

"I'd love to stay and chat, Jed. But I have a class to teach. But...what do you say we continue this conversation later?", Lilian asked, picking up a marker.

"Oh! Uh...sure! Ye-yea! I...I'd love to...chat...and...uh...yea!", Jed stuttered speechless.

Lilian let out another cute giggle before scribbling something on the whiteboard.

"Call me", she winked, leaving Jed a set of inscription of her personal summoning spell. Wiping Jed's summoning symbols, she vanished back to her realm.

Jed was stunned as he stared at the whiteboard, at the symbols Lilian just left him.

A big goofy smile spread across his face as it blushed red. Not everyday you get asked out by an attractive demoness.

THE END.
