Kimberly POV
The temperature in the room kept dropping enough to freeze. Kaleb’s back was still turned so I couldn’t see his face but I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be good. The women in the room appeared to be frozen in place as they kept staring at his face, their eyes wide and mouth open as they looked at Kaleb. And then suddenly their eyes changed becoming void of any emotion.
Then I heard Kaleb speak in a voice I’ve never heard before.
“Leave this room and forget you came here today. You will come again when called, if and when I need you”.
And then Asif hypnotized all fifteen of them walked out in accordance. One by one they all left the room and it was when the last one left that Kaleb finally turned to face me. I gasped my heart about to beat out of my chest.
His signature golden eyes were now a deep dark red. No pupil or Iris. When he spoke this time it was harsher and colder than when he spoke to the ladies.
“What do you think you were doing Kimberly?”
His voice…. I’ve never heard anyone sound like that… it couldn’t possibly be human.
I shifted back from my desk. I ended up tripping and sat on the chair with the wall behind me and the desk to one side as kaleb came up from the other. My heart fell like it was about to pop out. Kaleb’s eye, the temperature in the room still dropping…. this wasn’t possible! How could he do that?
“Y-you’re not human” I managed to squeak out beads of sweat breaking out on my forehead.
“Damn right I’m not!”. Kaleb was getting closer by the second as he took slow steps towards me. I let out a scream just as Kaleb came to stand in front of me, my knees brushing his legs…. and then the elevator door opened.
“Kaleb”
I felt relieved as I heard Denlian’s voice.
“We do not hurt the innocent, Kaleb”.
We, Denlian had said we, asin he wasn’t human too. So he too was like this monster standing in front of me.
And then Mary walked out the elevator before it closed and stood close to Denlian.
I looked between the two brothers and then turned to Mary, I was numb. Kaleb was turned away from me, facing Denlian and Mary stood timidly behind Denlian, looking at the ground.
I watched as Kaleb and Denlian talked to each other, but u couldn’t hear anything and suddenly I saw black dots in my vision until darkness consumed me.
**************
I opened my eyes. The ceiling was higher than that in my room ur Mary’s. I sat up on the bed alone and scared, trying to understand what was going on around me. The man I’ve been working for, for the past three years was some kind of monster. And he wasn’t the only one even his brother Kaleb looked like some kind of monster too and they had something to do with women. But the confusing part was why in the last three years and days I’ve worked for these monsters I didn’t know the truth.
“Kim?”
I looked up at Mary as she entered the room, anger enveloped me. You knew!
“Kim calm down I can explain”.
“Explain what? That Kaleb and Denlian are monsters”. I said avoiding her
I can’t believe she could do this to me. How could she! We’ve been friends for over five years and she didn’t think to tell me about this the moment she knew. I guess this was why she kept on defending them anything I brought up their names in our conversations.
“Incubus” she whispered
“What?”
She cleared her throat. “Incubus. They’re not monsters they’re Incubus”.
“Well what the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“It means that they are demons, but Incubus which translates to sex demons”.
“S-s-sex demons” I said in between laughter.
“So explain to me what exactly is a sex demon”.
She took a seat beside me and began “Incubus is a species of demons that feed on the life force of humans. Male incubi can only feed from a female human and female incubi feeds from a male human. That’s why Kaleb keeps sleeping around it gives him strength”.
“And what happens to us human when they’ve sucked out our life force?” I asked even though I knew the answer.
“They die. But they aren’t allowed to drain a human completely, that’s why they both never sleep with the same person twice. It’s against the rules and it could lead to their discovery”.
“Then why not let them get discovered? Why guard their secret?”
“Because demon or not they’re still people Kim. And besides incubi don’t just sit around and fuck people, they’re really powerful. What you saw today was just one percent of what Kaleb can do.
They’re strong and can manipulate the entire nation to do their bidding. Even if I exposed their secret, do you think anyone can get close enough to them to do something about it.”
I stayed silent, I know that what I’ve seen was not normal and what Mary said made Sense but I still couldn’t get my head to process everything.
“How do you come to know so much about them?” I asked when she was heading towards the door.
“Because I’m Denlian’s scribt… and now you’re Kaleb’s.
