Succubus

Knitting, and how to bring an ancient power to its knees

*Oona’s POV*

It had been quite some time since I had traveled with a companion, but when I turned to Andy, he seemed no worse for the wear. He was bursting with questions and frightened, but there wasn’t time. “Move!” I tugged him aside, just as Penemue winked into existence right where we had been.

I turned from the willowy angel to see the winged, haloed, platinum blonde Andy staring at himself: his sleeping human form, on his bed. “I can explain later, Andy. Please, for right now, just trust me?” I hoped that Andy was reading my thoughts, that he could tell how urgent it was, how imperative it was that he listen and believe me. He must have understood a great deal, as his expression became grim as he nodded.

Penemue looked from Andy, the conscious, slightly transparent angel, to Andy, the sleeping, solid human. “Come, Andrew. I understand that you are this demon’s,” Andy frowned, Penemue swiftly corrected himself, “Oona’s, mate, and you don’t wish her to be in pain, but you can’t be pulling these sorts of shenanigans, alright? Let me give you a hand and knit you back together. It’s not good for you to fragment like this. As you can see, weird stuff tends to happen.” He beckoned to angelic-Andy, and had him sit next to sleeping-Andy on the bed. Interesting that Penemue knew my name, that he knew Andy was my mate. Either he watched Andy closely, or he had been able to gather that from our touch earlier. I wouldn’t be surprised- the Watchers were an ancient group, Penemue had to be extremely powerful.

“We can talk more tomorrow, Andrew. For now, you have to sleep.” With that, Penemue took one of each of the Andy’s hands in his. Angelic-Andy looked like he had questions, but there was a bright flash of light, and I briefly felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. My ears rang, despite not having heard anything. Angelic-Andy was gone, there was only slumbering-Andy. Penemue gently set down Andy’s hand. Andy shifted onto his back in his sleep and started to snore lightly.

Penemue rose, facing me. I got my first chance to really look at him. Definitely a fallen angel, I felt stupid for not realizing it at once: though he had angelic wings, he had no halo. It made me wonder why Andy had a halo, if he was a descendant of Penemue’s? He was even taller than Andy, and very somber. He had text tattooed all over his hands, forearms, and legs (what is it with angels and wearing no shoes?). I figured the tattoos could be religious, in which case, it was probably in my interest not to read the words. Though I wasn’t like some other demons and intent on the whole ‘down with Heaven/we hate the Heavenly Host’ thing, I didn’t want to start a debate. Though I honestly wasn’t sure what was about to happen. Without question, any angel as old as Penemue, even though fallen, would be able to destroy me with little effort.

Penemue scrutinized me for a moment. I mentally prepared for the end. It was probably for the best- everything would go back to normal for Andy, and perhaps now, together, Penemue, Crow, and Femme could help him connect with his history. I watched Penemue steadily, but without hostility. He had saved Andy, at least for now, and that was all that mattered. If he felt the need to kill me because I was a demon, because of ancient hostilities, or if he thought I had seduced Andy just to feed from him, I would accept that as the price.

Penemue raised his hand, and… scratched his head. “I’m so sorry for my intrusion on your private moment, my lady. I hope you understand?” He wasn’t looking at me directly and was turning pink. Oh, I was still naked. Seriously, angels and their modesty! I wrapped an arm over my breasts to try and make Penemue more comfortable.

“Oh, no, no, you saved Andy! That is all that matters.” I hesitated. I had conversed with very few fallen angels, and none as archaic and imposing as Penemue. It was not everyday that you spoke with biblical figures. Definitely not everyday that you discovered they were related to the man you loved, who didn’t love you in return. My head swam. I supposed finding some clothes was in order. Running around naked in front of Andy’s great-great-great-who-knows-what-grandfather was definitely not called for. “I’ll see if Andy has some clothes I might borrow. Then perhaps we might talk in the living room?” I tried my best reassuring smile, careful to keep my mouth closed, to hide my pointed teeth. Angels were weird and sensitive sometimes.

Penemue nodded, still averting his eyes. It was kind of comical. Here was this incredibly striking creature, who could probably flatten several city blocks with his mind. Yet Penemue’s face was cherry-red, he was practically squirming in his clothes, and he was clearly distracted, distressed, and weakened just by a naked female body. “I’m so glad you recognize that my intention was only to help. I will await you in the living room, my lady.”

Penemue hurried past me with long strides, when I realized Crow and Femme would be more than a little shocked at his arrival. I had no idea if Penemue knew of their nature already or not, and whether they would wish to be revealed. “Penemue-“ he turned at the bedroom door, but looked at the ceiling, “Andy has two cats. It would be wise to announce yourself to them, and clarify that you are here as a guest.” Penemue nodded, as though that were the most natural thing in the world, before exiting the bedroom and closing the door behind him. I heard Penemue sigh in relief behind the door and suppressed a chuckle. I decided Penemue, the mighty fallen Watcher, was a total dork.

I swiftly went to the drawer I knew Andy kept his sweatpants in, and hoped he wouldn’t mind me borrowing a pair. I chose one I saw him wear rarely. I had trouble finding a shirt that was intact, but eventually found something that lacked holes, looked inexpensive, and that I knew he didn’t wear often.

I glanced at Andy, longing to crawl into his bed with him. A part of Andy had cared enough about me, been connected enough to me, to travel to the Underworld to console me when he had sensed I was upset. A part of Andy had made love to me. A part of him wanted to remain my mate. What did the entirety of Andy feel? He was mostly human. Had Andy’s humanity even been there, in the Underworld? What had been from the seed and what was real? What had been able to read my thoughts done to him?

We had made love as an angel and a demon, had returning Andy to a whole, physically assuming his human state, completely solved the problem? Would the Father’s demons still come for me, with Andy, the angel, having ceased to exist? Would the Host still search for Andy? I knew I still had Andy’s semen inside of me, I had drank in his angelic pleasure, it surely showed. I didn’t know if Penemue would know. Angels and demons never engaged in coitus, it was worse than a death sentence. It wasn’t like angels and demons often socialized, either- the opportunity simply rarely presented itself.

Andy… My mate, my angel, my incubus, my human, and my lover. It was time to go talk to your grand-grand-grand-whatever-father and see if we could make sure you were safe. I wouldn’t rest until you were.

Notes

so- ever faced with an incredibly powerful, ancient, biblical force? just get naked- you'll have the upper hand, no worries. :D
