She was haggard, her clothes were dirty and torn, and she had the look of utter lifelessness in her eyes. I recoiled from her ever so slightly and she noticed me for the first time. She stood on shaky feet and turned to me smiling. ?Mom,? I said. ?What are you doing here?? "I came to apologize," she said. "When you left that last time after what I did, I hated you for a long time. I'm sorry that I did that to you. You cannot help being what you are and seeking what you want. Your father told me that long ago. I just never realized how true that was until this last year." "Mom, I don't think I could be more shocked than I am right now. I'm sorry too. I said some pretty hurtful things when I left, but I meant them. I cannot have you in my life if you cannot accept me, all of me. I have to ask, why the sudden change?" "It isn't sudden for me," she said. "There was someone in my life five years ago who encouraged me to be like I was. After you left, she said I was useless, worthless, and she left. I was a wreck after that. I commited myself to a hospital to get help. I've been working on my issues ever since." I strode across the room to her and hugged her. She was so thin and was shaking. I knew something more was wrong and sent my power inside her. What I found sent ripples of fear down my spine. Mom had several curses laid inside her. Curses like the ones I could cast, but never would because they were so harmful. I knew that a succubus was behind all of our troubles from five years ago. Mom hugged me back with all her strength, which I felt waning. One of the curses was slowly draining her life and strength away. Thanks to Olivia, I knew how to remove the curse of a succubus. I gently pulled her back and kissed her forehead and let every feeling of love, life, and laughter fill me and then her. The curses melted away, like melting butter. I felt each one disintegrate and I sent each one back to the caster with a little surprise tucked inside. Forced celibacy is a real kicker to break, if you know what you are doing. When Olivia taught me to remove curses, I learned how to cast them as well. I also learned how a succubus casts one and managed to combine incubus and succubus castings. It made it necessary for one of each to willingly remove the curse. Whoever did this, would find that they could not drain a person of energy, nor could they have sex of any kind. The vulva would not open, there would be no lubrication, and no possiblity of orgasm. It would feel like the most excruciating pain that a person could experience if the succubus was even touched in the vicinity of her vagina. I had no qualms casting this curse. After it was done, Mom swayed where she stood. I fed her a tiny bit of energy and led her into my office and helped her sit on my couch. "I'm sorry," she said. "I feel a bit dizzy." "Maybey you should get some rest," I said. "You don't look so good. Are you taking care of yourself?" "As well as I can," she replied. "I'm staying in the Hotel Newton for the next few days. I hope we can catch up." "Yes we can," I said. "And no, you are not staying in that Hotel. I'll have a suite at the Palace Hotel ready for you by the time you get there. They will treat you like a Queen and don't worry about the charges. I've got that covered." She tried to brush it all aside, but I wouldn't have it. I had my driver take her to the hotel, pack her things, and drive her to the Palace. Meanwhile, my meeting went as smooth as expected. I had no trouble with approval for the new division because my lucrative ideas from the past five years had made so much money for the company. I left the office in the late afternoon and made my way to the Plaza Hotel. They had a suite on hold for me, a Terrace Suite. It was a standing order and I paid a pretty penny for it every month, but it was worth it. The reason I had it was for someone else. His name was Andre, and he was my kept man. But he was far more than that. Andre was different, special. He had special qualities about him that made him very attractive to my incubus side. He had a particular energy that made him stand out from everybody the day that I met him. A certian animalistic life force. The reason for it all, that I provided him with food, shelter, and anything that he needed was because once a month, he became very dangerous to anyone, except me. Andre was a werewolf. **************************************************************************** Sorry for the confusion I and the Archivist have been giving you all.
