Thread: Devil's Trap (Panda and Dogged)

Vetis pondered Elsa's words and actions, scrutinizing her delicate little face. A part of his mind worked frantically at Eric's defenses, breaking down the walls and leeching all information from it like a starving parasite on a fresh new host. Her only loyalty was to her family? She had no friends to speak of? No lover? The demon smiled at Elsa, slow and calculating. He licked his lips in anticipation of what he was thinking and getting from her brother. According to Eric, she was a family burden they'd picked up when she was a child. Something bright had fallen from the sky and crashed into their garage one night. They'd thought it was a meteor strike but they'd instead found a young girl of an unearthly, exceptional beauty. The entire family had the opposite coloring of Elsa and she still hadn't yet figured out that she wasn't one of them. In a family of hunters, according to her 'brother' she was not a real part of them in the least. The family of assertive, confident and aggressive hunters had found themselves with a gentle, passive, kind hearted young woman. She had been an anomaly all her life with her so called family and always a little on the outside. They all worked full time to protect the strange but lovely young woman in their midst. Excellent! Eric's memories gave Vetis everything he needed to formulate a plot. In conjunction with Elsa's proclamation, he believed he could better manage the situation to its fullest potential now. She swore her trusting and naive vow to allow a complete carte blanche to Vetis' whims! He chuckled now that he was able to take full advantage of the situation. Eric's mind had been a library chock full of how her family saw Elsa. A gentle little deer to be protected by the family of wolf like hunters, never an authentic part of the family. The old adage of divide and conquer would be best. Well Elsa, now that sounds like a mutually beneficial proposition that will help both of us. I -should - let Eric go. 'run to the rest of the family to blab so they can hunt you down when I turn your ass to willingly join my side!' his thought finished the sentence with silent glee. That's a reasonable and very smart decision. he answered with a smile, using Eric's trustworthy, well known family face, ultimately positive that it would lend further credence to the words that Vetis would never be able to feel. Her comment had him raising his eyebrows to show surprise and dispute the validity. Now now Elsa that's just not so. It doesn't have to be just little bitty you against all of the legions of Hell. We could help each other out you know. Vetis sent out a mental shout to the lesser minion to hurry the fuck up, now. 'She's a fallen angel who lost her Grace. A hunter family took her in as a child and raised her but never really accepted her as one of their own. The next door neighbors have a son that she has a deep attraction for. I'm using him as a meat suit now and I'm on my way.' it answered swiftly, knowing Vetis had patience only when he felt like it. 'Bring him over here now so I can wear him. Give me a mental shout when you're near the porch.' answered the demon, his tone eager with the idea of ultimate corruption just beginning. He returned his attention to the beautiful young woman, his lust not quite showing in his eyes. Elsa was about to enjoy being bad and he knew just how to go about it. Using Eric's voice, he said coldly, Elsa you've never been a real part of our family so you really should just leave us alone already. You've never been a Hunter, you'll never be one, and hells, you don't even -look- like us! That should give the chit something to chew on while he waited the few extra minutes to change to a better meat suit. Something to seduce her with...
