for voicesinmyhead Prompt #51
.I'm not just royalty, I am a succubus. Therefore cunning, deceit and murder are all familiar territory. After all,one cannot possibly rise to top without stepping on a few bodies along the way. Draining energy doesn't usually kill them...unless I want it to. ;)
However,if it costs them their lives, then so be it. The universe must not have meant for them to survive. After all, it's the way of world...the strong survive while the weak and the many get crushed by the wheel of fate. Despite what most people think,I do have humanity in me...it's simply weak to the point where it may as well be non-existent. I don't kill for pleasure unless my family and I have been slighted or wronged in some way.
No...I kill because it's necessary. You see,in my world,there's a storm coming. Even if it seems as if unsuspecting people are about to get affected,there's no such thing. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear and when the dust settles,everyone will have blood on their hands, not just me. Setting examples, exacting vengeance upon one's enemies,punishing those who forgot their place and getting rid of competition are all integral if one is to achieve victory. The world isn't black and white and even fairy tales are sometimes rooted in darkness.
There are many ways to kill someone, but I prefer subtlety. After all,what was the point in all the sweet,beautiful plotting and scheming I did if I get caught red-handed?
I could simply drain them,but where would the challenge be? Draining them is the equivalent of eating breakfast and it's usually a mundane task, unless the victim is particularly virile or possesses an extraordinary amount of psychic energy.
No...I prefer poison and the Dark Arts,much like most of my family. Father enjoys the taste of blood and could easily lose himself torturing his victims and I suppose even tante Lilith could. However,The Delacroixs pride ourselves on our vast knowledge of the Dark Arts,especially obscure spells. If I really wanted to show off and make sure everyone was impressed,I could always pick one that left a mark,but I'd still be subtle. Only those worthy of knowing just what I'm capable of and how foolish it would be to test me should be able to connect the dots, n'est pas? ;)
I've used weapons before and both my brother and I started a weapons collection when we were younger. However, I have a petite frame, spell-casting is usually more effective and somehow... watching someone bleed to death by my hand isn't quite as interesting as watching them get eaten alive or writhe in agony after they realize they've been poisoned....
