There are a few things any demon must know, no matter their power or their status. To possess, to tempt, to kill. They are all important parts of the biggest goal; to survive.

—Do it. —She whispered. —Get in her head and use her hand to kill her. Maybe grab that knife or make her snap her own neck. —She gasped, —Or you can burn her alive! You've mastered that already. You can also use a spell. It's boring but it does the job. —She looked at me, —Why don't you do it? —

I looked at the woman tied to a chair. Her eyes were covered with a cloth, and even though her mouth was not gagged, she knew she should not speak. She was part of the coven. She taught me about time.

—She explained to me how leap years work. —

She scrunched Her face. —That's too little. —Her hand brushed my hair back, —She's been talking with other covens lately. It's not good. That puts us in danger, you know? That can put you in danger, Kid. We don't want that. —

Walking over to her, She grabbed her head and put it back, showing her neck. She moved the neck of her shirt to the side. —Come on, do it. You could call this part of being a woman. —She smiled, —Ah... It's your first time. I wish my first time was this easy. Get over with it, Kid. After this I might teach you a new spell. You'll like it. But if you don't do it... —She shrugged, —I don't know what I'd do. —

So I got into her head, and I did it.
