Inner Desires

     Confliction tore at the demon as she stood at the edge of the tall building. The wind whipped her scarlet locks back from her pale face, her icy hues raking the city below her. She needed to feed, her body was aching, her bones screaming at her, demanding her to leap from the building and devour a human's soul.
     The toes of her boots dipped below the edge of the building, her knees bending, her thighs clenching as she tried to calm her instincts. She had crossed through the lines of reality to escape the Demon Realm. What she hadn't expected, was the inability to escape herself.
     Before she could stop herself, she was falling through the air, the ground approaching at a fast pace. Her eyes fluttered closed as the freeing feeling of falling to death washed through her very being. Her eyes snapped opened and she turned in mid air, landing in a soft crouch on the sidewalk, her instincts would never allow her to die so easily.
     Humans screamed. She didn't look much different from them, but they knew what she was. The Demons had begun to cross over, populate the Human Realm. Laws were set in place, laws that Sin was about to break. Once broken she would be hunted. This thought filled her with fear, but underlying all that fear was excitement.
     She didn't have to work hard, being bred, born, and raised to one day rule her father's kingdom in the Ice Division of the Demon Realm came with a certain amount of power. The dark essence that was her began to rise, the black markings of power that lie dormant beneath her skin begin to writhe and light up with her inner power.
     She rose and began walking, her wide, exotic gaze raking the people along the streets. She wasn't looking at them though, she was looking through them. She could see them, sparks of their souls igniting deep within their bodies.
     One shown brighter than the rest, and suddenly, the hunt was on. The Mixed breed demon cut across the street and slunk down, nearly disappearing into the shadows. She had never seen a soul shine with such brightness, such power before in her long, unnatural existence.
     "Almost," She whispered to herself as she turned a corner. The figure turned, facing her and she came to an abrupt stop. He stared at her, with eyes as brilliant as the shining blue of his soul, then spoke, "why are you following me?"
     This had never happened to her before. She was a mixed breed demon, blood born vampire and Succubus. Her hungers were great, but so was her power. This male stood before her, in the face of her dark essence and didn't so much as flinch. He wasn't a demon, she thought to herself as she leaned in, breathing his scent in deeply. 
     Her eyes fluttered closed as the delicious aroma filled her, "what are you?" She whispered, her voice low and sultry. The strange male grinned then, flashing white, perfect teeth in his dark face, "your worst nightmare," he breathed out softly, before suddenly she was falling. Her eyes fluttered closed as her her mind shut down completely.
