It was the night of my cousin's birthday, Lucy. And she threw a bash for her special friends at our lodge.
Lucy was dressed no different as she appeared from the small throng of people and pulled me by the arm through the mass of swirling waists of women against their male partners.
“Lucy what is going on here!”, I asked as she pulled me to the hallway.
“Don't you remember, I did say I will throw a party for my birthday”, Lucy was smiling widely.
“You said a party but you turned here to a club, Lucy”
“Clubbing, partying, what's the difference.”
I opted to be in my room when she began telling me about her plans for the night.
She produced a book with nākēd pictures of a woman and men in various coital positions. “Are you joining us because it's about to get hot, baby”.
“The Book of Lilith”, I read the title. “What is this for”
“You always act coy, aren't you seeing the pictures. It's a book on ērōtic, it can make sēx more sensuous”
The name Lilith sounded familiar to me but I was too tired to pry memories. A sense of foreboding clung to my mind when I read the label: sēx magīc beware!
I tried dissuade her but Lucy isn't someone to be talked out of sēxūāl adventure.
“Hope you'll stay, I have one guy for you. Daniel won't find out”
Daniel was my fiancee
I blushed but turned her down and went to sleep in my room.
I woke up late at night and the music was out, so were the lights in our lodge.
Feeling pressed, I got up to ease myself when I heard a faint cry of someone in pains and a rattle from outside my room.
I grabbed my small phone, opened the door, and waded through the near-dark hallway. The sounds were coming from Lucy’s room.
And I immediately thought the worse, was Lucy being mōlēstēd, she said she wanted to try something sensuos but this cry seemed pained.
I rushed in to help Lucy who was sitted on the bed with her back to me.
“Lucy?”
Lucy remained silent but continued thumping and panting on top of her partner.
I inched closer.
“Lucy!", I called out again as I approached her, but she still did not reply.
Not until I was close enough did I see that she was stark nākēd. And beneath her lay one of the guys I had seen earlier, nākēd too and weak.
When she finally turned, her body was so pale and leprosed. Bulgy green veins were strewn over her thighs, chests and face. The insides of her eyes were all fiery red with no whites to see.
The guy beneath her seemed near dēāth and his mouth sputtered blōōd.
I turned to flee but she grabbed me by the neck so fast, long brown nails pierced my skin.
“Lu.. lu.. cyy”
My neck threatened to snap, I gasped and thrashed but Lucy did not budge.
She smiled to reveal yellow decaying teeth and a forked tongue. Something rattled below, and from my line of sight, I saw that it was tail.
Lucy had a serpent's tail.
I had began to convulse a bourn of blood. I teetered on the border of consciousness when...
One of the guys in the party, Charles, rushed in to hit her with a fire-extinguisher from the hall way.
Her head turned upside down to my horror, pieces of flesh fell off her face. And for a split second she lost her grip on me.
Martins, taking my arms pulled me to my feet to flee with him. My last vestiges of strength I directed to my legs and followed.
“The back door” he commanded.
But when he scurried down the hallway to the back door, it had been shut close and locked.
“The front door, the front door, don't look back”.
Despite his warning not to look back, I couldn't resist the urge to. I looked back to see that Lucy was crawling on all fours, her head was turned upside down.
When we got to the front door, it was stiff. While Martins tried to open it I asked.
“What happened to others?”, I said in between sobs as I realized that we were leaving
“The rest are dēād”, he said as he thumped on the door to open.
“But what happened to my cousin, I'm not leaving without my cousin!” I sounded desperate.
The door finally broke open and he tried to pull me again to run but I swatted his hands away because I was tired of the fear and agitation. I was tired of running away from my own cousin.
“Lilith”, he said.
“What?”
“Lilith the first wife of Adam, the Mother of all Succubus and Incubus, your cousin is possessed by her”
.
“But how did she..”
“Lucy read the book and summoned her from the ninth hēll. Lucy slept with everyone and sucked their essence”
Just then Lucy emerged from the hall way her head was still upside down, and she was coming for us.
"Let's get going", I was leading the way out of our lodge and not looking back as Martins had instructed. I had the keys to his vehicle.
As I got to the car, relief washed over me.
“Thank God, we made it Martins”, I said.
Turning back to look, I saw that Martins was no where in sight.
I could hear his frantic screams from within the lodge. He was desperately calling out to me to go away.
“Martins, Martins!!”, my shrill voice pierced the night. I was confused on what to do, I dashed back to help Martins but when I saw Lucy on top of him, gorging on his blood.
I fled for the car.
I immediately opened the door and started the car.
With such speed, I drove off.
As I sped out of the Lodge’s compound.
God, thank you I made it. I made it!
I heard a rattle from behind, I looked in the driving mirror
To my horror
Lucy was behind me
