Incubus II C1

My name is Dick and I am an Incubus. 4 years ago, my friends needed
me. They were imprisoned in a facility designed to turn them into white
collar, missionary loving heterosexual men. They crossed the wrong person
when they did that. I went to save them and ended up incarcerated myself. I
ended up building a power base and eventually giving testimony that shut
the place down.

After breaking ties with my mother, who spouted some weird nonsense at me,
I returned home to Hawaii, where I learned more about past Incubi and their
problems with our female counterparts, the Succubi.

As much as I wanted to return to as normal a life as possible, life doesn't
work that way. We took in young runaway, Olivia, who is a succubus, but
doesn't want to do evil things anymore. She even broke the curse on my
first lover, Chad, and has been showing us how to break other succubi
curses. She may be a succubus, but she does have a big heart.

Now 4 years later and life has changed dramatically. Dad moved with Olivia
to the Philippines, where he is teaching her what life truly has to offer
outside of a life of sucking men dry of all their life energy. He told me
in confidence that he has a way of cleansing her of the demon trying to
take her over and there they have a better chance of it.

Meanwhile, he has left me in control of his financial holdings. I brought
Jimmy, Joey, and Shane with me when we moved from Hawaii to New York,
leaving the Hawaiian House in the hands of Chad and Adam, another friend of
ours working through his medical residency.

We moved to a large penthouse apartment on top of a hotel in the Upper East
Side.  The penthouse was high up in the air, on the 51st floor, and was
three stories tall.  It had 4 master suites and 6 smaller guest rooms. We
decorated our rooms to our liking and Jimmy and Joey had, at last, stopped
sharing one room.

In the three years since we moved here, we hosted regular events to promote
our interests. These fundraisers brought in money from socialites that
allowed us to give away our services pro bono to those who could not afford
them. Every day, the twins, Shane, and I would give fertility, health, and
support to those in this city and others who needed it the most.  The three
of them became my official proxies, allowing them to gather energy for me
and to distribute my power to those who needed it.

In the contract we had made, they agreed to never abuse the power, to never
force themselves on others, and to be responsible to all other beings. If
they broke this contract, then they would lose everything. If they spoke
about my secret to anyone and failed to erase memories afterwards, then the
contract would be broken.

One of the good things about New York, is that there are a lot of gay men
that are `out'. It makes finding lovers so much easier. But as close as I
want to get to someone, I find that there is always something holding me
back.

Upper West Side – Family Health Services run by the Ross-Ford Family

I entered the building on a Monday morning around 9am, to the usual hustle
and bustle. The building was twenty stories high and was the workplace of
hundreds of doctors, researchers, nurses, and other necessary staff. No
other building in the world held so many gifted people and worked with so
many people and their problems. Most of our treatments were conventional,
but in extreme cases, my friends and I would use my powers to help those in
need.

I wore a tight fitting designer suit, charcoal grey pants and jacket with
the white shirt untucked. I wore a pair of frameless glasses that were not
for vision correction. The glasses were part of a new computer system,
completely portable. The computer was on my wrist, disguised as a
bracelet. It connected wirelessly with my glasses and allowed me to
interact with what I saw.

People were highlighted in a blue halo and their names and occupations were
displayed. If I wanted to, I could use it to look further into their status
here in the building. For patients, it told me who they were and what they
were here for. Visitors were marked as well and with who was the patient
and where they were supposed to be. There were other apps that I could use
with it, but I was still experimenting with it.

I swiped my card into the building and headed for the elevators. As always
the feel of disease and death permeated the air. I ignored it and continued
on my way. In the elevator, I pushed the button for the top floor. The
elevator rose like a cloud. I barely felt anything move.

I exited the elevator and crossed the building to my office.  I had several
meetings to get through today and hopefully by the end of the day, the
executive committee and I would sign off on opening a new division. As I
went through the double doors to my office, I found someone waiting for me.

I stopped, dead in shock, for I had not expected to see this person for a
very long time. The last time I saw her, she screamed at me that I was an
unnatural beast because of my homosexuality. She called me a liar, a
sinner, and the last time I called her two years ago, she called me a
whore.

It was my mother.

book of the Incubus series. Now I've got some good ideas about what is
going to happen next. So stay tuned and let me know what you think. All
