You continue lying around and try to fall asleep. The pain won't let this happen and you lie in bed starring at the ceiling. You start thinking about Catia again as it seems to be the only thing you can focus on. You think about how much of an idiot you are for passing up sex with a demon.


Your front door makes a loud squeaking sounds followed by footsteps. Is Catia back to finish the job? You try to get to grab your sword but your head pounds forcing you to stay in bed. Expecting Catia to kill you at any second, you are very surprised to hear,


"Son, I'm home."


"Mmmm—-mmmmm—-mmother?


"Yes, it's me and I come baring bad news. Your Father, he was killed on our way home. I feel so empty I don't know how I'll go on."


She begins crying into her hands. The pounding in your head stops, allowing you to get up to comfort her.


"Everything will ok you just have to stay strong," you say while patting her back.


Your mother looks up at you and smiles. Her blue eyes shine through the tears and you know everything will be ok. She goes in to hug you and you return the favor. As you embrace, she massages your back making you feel like a kid again. She whispers into your ear,


"Will you sleep with me tonight? I don't want to be alone after all that's happened."


Now you're really starting to feel like a kid again. This is your mother and as sad as it sounds, you could also use some company after all that's happened.


"Sure, I don't want to be alone either."


You both fall into bed and feel instant relief. She moves closer to you and grabs your hand. She moves your arm over her body and huddles your body close to your chest. As much as you want to say something about how uncomfortable this makes you feel, you know she needs company after all she's been through. You no longer feel like a kid, but feel like your father? This is pretty weird, but its just one night. One weird night is nothing to be alarmed about.


You drift off to sleep and have the best night of rest you've had in years. When you wake up you're surprised to find your mother still pressed up against your chest. Not wanting to disturb her, you just lay there eyes open. Your headache is gone, and you think you know why. Only the love between a son and a mother could dispel the curse Catia put on you. Your mother soon wakes up and says,


"I don't want to be too forward, but can we do this again tonight? The horrors I saw, the bloodshed, is too much for me to be left alone with my thoughts. I need someone to be my rock, so I don't fall into the pit of despair."


You've never seen your mother so sad before, thought its understandable. The question is, are you ok with doing this again? Sure, one night of sleeping in the same bed of your mom after such trauma isn't that crazy. But doing again, that may be a bit crazy.

You put a stop to this now

This is just too weird, and it needs to stop before spirals into something else.


"Mom, I love you, but I just don't think this is the best path of recovery."


You expect her to be sad, maybe cry a little, but her reaction is completely different.


"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT YOU ARE TOO PURE!" she screams.


A cloud of dark smoke blinds you as your mother morphs into a demon like form.


"Mother, what happened on your trip?" you say while blinded by smoke.


"You insolent fool, I'm not your mom I am a succubus."


The smoke clears and you find Catia standing before you.


"Whaaaaa," is all you have time to say before she tears your head of.


"That's for wasting my time!"
