Chereads / The Triad Curse / Chapter 11 - Curiosity can Kill You.

Chapter 11 - Curiosity can Kill You.

Until some times, people were disappearing then the man noticed and asked the owner at his last visit,

"Hey, Svetlio!", the man with the neat suit on the corner table, called the owner who was staring blank at his cake showcase because there were still a lot of them. "Is it just me, or people just don't come here anymore?"

Svetlio surprised by the man's compassionate act. Because it's impossible that the man would ever mind others' business. He usually simply came, ordered a milk tea with a small plate of blueberry cheesecake.

Sit for one or two hours and ordered some more milk tea if he was thirsty, then he just left with the same taxi that brought him to the café and waited to bring him gone. No one ever met him there, or he ever answered any call. Svetlio even thought that the man didn't have a phone, unlike many people would engross to their phones whenever they sit alone.

"Well, I dunno, sir. People just stop coming, especially the ladies. Maybe they had finally found their soul mates," Svetlio let out a small chuckle.

Then the man just smiled," well I do hope so, indeed."

Svetlio paid full attention to the man then asked from behind the serving table," Do you mind me joining you, sir?"

"Not at all… come, sit here with me"

Then Svetlio grabbed a cup of coffee and joining the man. He looked like he had something secrecy to tell to the man. Svetlio lowered his voice like whispering,

"I couldn't talk much, sir. But I think the ladies are missing. The police told me they've found some bodies in the woods. Looked like animals attack. But the weird thing is, their body fluid was drained. I asked the cops to keep this a secret. I just don't want people to tie the horrible deaths with my place…"

Svetlio talked too much then he suddenly stopped because he just realized that he talked too much to the stranger.

The man just smiled and said," I thought you'd never tell me. Yeah, I noticed that too. You're worried, aren't you?"

"Definitely, sir… It wasn't because my customers are gone, but… poor those ladies." Svetlio answered with deep sympathy.

"Yeah, I know, I can feel your emotion. You're a good man, Svetlio. It's just obvious if you're worried about them."

The man let out a statement that made Svetlio frowned. But before even he asked further, the man asked another question,

"Do they leave the cafe with someone? Is there anyone new you knew coming here and then the women started to… missing?" the man shot a thorough question like a professional investigator.

"Well, not that I know of." Svetlio answered.

"How about those two?" the man moved his head to the direction of a couple on the bar.

"Nothing to worry about them that tonight is their second visit. It's obvious that they're in love. Can't you see how engross they're to each other? They practically can't get off their hands to each other's body" Svetlio stared at the couple while smiling evilly. But the man frowned like he saw something different.

He knew the woman was being hypnotized by the man, the charming man. His big grin, his sharp gaze with high tip of eyebrows told otherwise to the man. The neat suit man knew, that man wasn't in love, but he was in control of the couple's relationship.

And he could almost hear the woman's mind saying,

[Help me! I'm in danger!]

So, the man just smiled to Svetlio and asked him to go back to work, because he said he needed to make a call.

Puzzled, Svetlio back to the serving table and started to clean the glasses. He didn't know he was under the spell of the man's mentalist suggestion.

But before the man had the chance to make a call, the couple went outside because it was obviously seen that the woman was high, aroused by the man's provocative seduction. She was helplessly sexually intoxicated, like her body longing to be ravished by the man.

There were only few people in the café, and everyone in the room could hear how the woman let out a tiny moan over and over each time the man touched her. The touches weren't inappropriate, but the woman kept on moaning almost soundlessly.

It was definitely a lustful sight, so the man decided to take her out while saying,

"Let's get it out, baby. You don't want to have it here. Not in front of everybody." The charming man stated the sentence like he was worried about the woman, with sympathetic expression.

But the man with the neat suit could hear what inside the man's head was…

[Yeah, like that. Keep being aroused. Look so ravishing like that. I'm gonna eat you tonight, and I'm gonna suck you dry. It's about time I change another prey. Yours already satisfied my thirst. Your last juice tonight, would give me the energy until I find another juicy woman.]

The man in the neat suit was shocked after he read what in the man's mind was. He tried to hide his being shocked because he knew what the man was. He kept his figure calm, but his heart raced like an adrenaline junkie.

So, the man waited until the couple got outside, never letting them out of his sight through the window. Quickly put bank notes sufficient for ten times of his meal's price he ordered that night on the table. He got out of the café while taking distance from the couple. He followed them to the edge of the woods near the café.

He waited from few meters away and carefully listened to them. He made sure that he didn't take the wrong conclusion and made sure what he heard from the charming man's mind was true.

There was only silence then the man in the neat suit heard the woman's voice moaning harder than he heard when she was in the café,

"Yeah baby, like that… ahhh… eat it… like that. Suck my pssssss… ohhh…"

The noise was really disturbing then the man thought that he was just mistaken. He thought that it had been a while since he read people's mind and emotion.

He thought that it was possible that he made a mistake so he turned and he was about to go back to the taxi to go home, when suddenly he heard the woman's voice became weird almost choking,

"yeah… hhh… hhhkkk… hk… hk…"

The sound kept on repeating, so he went back to the source of the voice while running there then he found something in horror under his phone's flashlight…

The woman's legs were open wide while the man's head was between them. His hands clawed to the woman's breasts and his index fingers were teasing the nipples. The woman didn't look in pleasure anymore that her hands were both on her own neck like trying to escape from something that choked her.

She kept on letting out the choked sound and it was even getting weaker. And the man's head between her legs made a terrible sound of slurping like he was drinking something, like he was extremely thirsty.

"No no no…" the man in the neat suit wanted to let out a scream but he couldn't because he was so shocked. Then he tried to call someone when alas!

He suddenly was lifted on the air so high being hit to a pine tree. But there was nothing that lifted him.

While his head still between her legs and kept on slurping when the woman gradually withered, one of his hand directed to the air. He had telekinesis with his left hand lifted the man.

The man in the neat suit tried to fight his force. And he succeeded but he just realized his phone fell when he had been suddenly lifted so he just said one thing to prove his point before he died, to let that night creature know that he knew what he was,

"O my goodness, I thought the likes of you were already extinct thousands of years ago. How come, your kind still alive until today? Please tell me that you're the last of your kind. Please… Oh Lord, we're too careless for thinking threats like you would never arise anymore…"

But before he finished his sentence, with one blow, the charming man or that night creature broke his neck at once and threw his body to the ground.

He finished his feast from the woman's body. Sucking her juice dry until her body became completely withered without any life force left. Then he approached the man's body while talking to himself,

"There was only one kind who knew we exist. And yes, I am the last of my kind. I've survived this long because I hide from my kind. And that one only kind, who knew us, is the Empaths that the life juice is always the best from any other creature. A male Empath would taste bitter, but it's better than I don't eat for few days. Let's see if you have any siblings or family to eat…"

So, the incubus drained the man's fluid through his neck. He was actually just unconscious but too late to awake to fight because the succubus already sucked his life force dry. But he stopped in the middle of his feast. He mumbled,

"Ah… you have a daughter. Perfect! I'd gladly make her lustfully satisfied then I'll suck her dry. Female Empath's juice at her peak is always the most delicious feast with lots of energy…"

Then he continued his feast from the man's body. He left a little bit of life mark but not the life force. Made some scars here and there on the man's body so it would look like an animal attack.

Then he buried the woman's body under the ground. Hoping no one would find the corpse with odd condition. He thought he grew careless for sucking women's juice dry like the body couldn't be identified as an animal attack's victim anymore.

But he felt relieved that he finally would have a female Empath's juice and life force to keep him from feeding for few years.

He checked the ground surface where he buried the woman's corpse once again, making sure canine troops couldn't find it, and he left the man's body as a leftover of an animal attack. Then he escaped into the not so cold night…
