The Dark Corruption (cc and SinfullyDelicious)

Jewel was a beautiful orange haired fox, and though it was cold out here in mountains, she and her boyfriend had decided to scale the place. After climbing up the large mountain range, they noticed a large forbidding castle in the distance, and though she never set foot inside of the building. She felt that their presence had awoken something that lay dormant inside of the place. Little was she know that her presence had stirred a very old entity that had been trapped within the castle that looked as if it had come out some gothic Dracula movie. Turning her back on the castle she glanced out over the view that the climb had given them. "Oh this is so beautiful! I am glad that we made this wonderful climb." Though she quickly scouted out a place to have their picnic which went off without a hitch.

Afterward making out on the mountain, but eventually it grew late, and she knew they had to leave. "We should head back to our motel room, I doubt the castle has any good rooms that could be used it looks as if its fallen into ruin as well." Plus there was no telling what kind of horrible things might be lurking within such as awful beasts. The feeling only intensified as if something or some one was watching. It only left them, when they had traversed back down the mountain the way they had come. Getting into the car she smiled at her boyfriend. "Perhaps next time we go some where remote we can actually make out and finally get to finish what we started unless we do that in our room tonight." How ever something was going to happen that night that would prevent her boyfriend from being able to do what she had asked of him.

Once they had arrived at the hotel, the sun was setting, that night she was getting ready for her boyfriend to come, only what happened that night was the fact that a great power surge knocked out the whole power in the motel. The other weird thing was just prior to that her boyfriend had come to her and apologized about not being able to stay the rest of the vacation trip it seemed something had come up and he was needed back at work. so he urged her to finish out the rest of their vacation. Which she planned on doing, slipping into the bed, she slowly closed her eyes, and started to dream.

Malfesto had inhabited the castle for seven centuries. He had possessed an old feudal lord back in the day to build it for him. Demons never had their own places of worship like gods or angels, but they still liked to have a place in the mortal world that they could call their own. For Malfesto it was all about finding the right mortal targets that he could possess, corupt, or just fuck until they renounced their beliefs and decided to accept a life of sin. The castle worked perfectly for that purpose for hundreds of years. It served as a place of debauchery, one that got so bad that the castle eventually became abandonded after a few too many marraiges were ruined and a few too many people died within its walls.

Now all that he had to occupy his time were the lone travelers who had heard the rumors and legends of this place and were foolish enough to check them out for themselves. That day Malfesto assumed he would find just the perfect to mortals to corrupt. The beautiful orange haired fox seemed eager to explore his home, yet the man she was with clearly took more warning from the legends than his partner did. Malfesto waited just inside the castle, staring down at the pair as they drew nearer and yet ultimately turned away. He let out a sigh at that. It was no matter, it wasn't like he was bound to this place, his form was just stronger here. Here, he could be himself, in his true form. Instead he would have to go out into the night in the form of a mere human mortal.

As Malfesto headed out of the castle he checked himself in a mirror. He smiled at his appearance, having almost forgotten to hide his long protruding horns and to put on a shirt. The customs of the day would look down on this appearance, so he made the horns disappear and he snapped his fingers to form a blood red button up shirt on himself, one that hugged his slim frame. He stepped outside of the castle and in an instant turned into a black puff of smoke, one that zipped through the air and towards the hotel where the couple was staying. He could still smell them, the possibility of corruption lingered on the female. As he made his descent he materialized right in the middle of the hall. He was standing there behind the man who had turned away his prey.

Malfesto shook his head at the sad and righteous mortal, raising his right hand up and placing it up against the man's temple. The man froze, his ears fell to his head and he tried to turn to face the demon. Malfesto allowed this as he said, "My good sir, you were right to stay away, but I am sorry that your one good decision will not save you or your loved one. Sometimes, life just isn't fair. You won't be remembering this conversation, but I did want to let you know, I am sorry for your loss." With that said wiped the man's mind and sent him on his way. Sending the boyfriend to go and tell his girlfriend that he was leaving.

The demon watched as the man walked away, still in a haze from the demon's charm. From there it was simple. He simply walked up to the door and tapped on it twice. The woman was so open to change that this would be easy. He sent her a little message, one that told her to wake up in the next five minutes and head down to the bar across the street. The one building that was still open at this time, oh and to wear something sexy.

Malfesto would be waiting for her, he wanted to see if she would be a good pawn. Someone he could use to make a new home for himself in a place more open to his influences.

Jewel's dream was strange to be sure as she found herself in a place that was unfamiliar to her, when a voice came out of the mists, telling her to wake up in the next five minuets and to wear something sexy to the bar that was open at this time of the night. Waking up with a snap of her eyes, she blinked heavily with a yawn. Exposing her fangs, surely it wouldn't hurt to do as the voice had asked of her. After all she didn't see the harm in going to the bar this late. So getting up from the bed, she once again got dressed, putting on one of the dresses she had bought specifically for her boy friend to see for one of their more advanterious dates though she had not had a chance to wear it yet.

The Dress sparkled in the light with many beads that made it shine like silver against her orange fur, and made her stand out, as she made her way down to bar. Having no idea that the demon was in fact waiting for her there. Had she known she might have tried to put more of a resistance to the voice that had spoken to her in her dreams. Once there she entered into the bar the voice having directed to be at a certain area for him to find her.

As Jewel walked into the bar every head turned to stare at her. The men stared in awe while any woman who couldn't see Jewel as a possible partner glared at her in pure envy. Malfesto loved the reaction, she would be absolutely perfect. He needed someone who would catch everyone's attention, someone who could manipulate others if she wanted to. So as she took her first few steps into the bar he reached out from behind her, catching her wrist and turning her to face him as if they were long lost friends who had planned to meet up here.

"Hello darling, I am so glad you could make it down here, you look absolutely stunning." He flashed her a smile, gesturing with his free hand to a table that already had two glasses waiting there for them. The glasses were empty at this time but he cast an illusion on Jewel's glass to make it appear as it already contained her favorite drink. Beaming at her he said, "I have been looking for someone like you for what feels like ages and I wanted to propose something to you, to see if you would be interested."

The demon took his seat, letting go of her wrist and giving her one last opportunity to come to her senses and run away. He didn't want a puppet, he wanted someone who would want to be molded, so he left her mind free, not attempting to influence it at all as he simply smiled at her with his natural charm.

Jewel certaintly hadn't believed in creatures that could go bump in the night, so the rumors of what had surrounded the old castle, to her were just that. Oh she was going to be proven so very wrong. She didn't think meeting this stranger and hearing his proposal would harm anything. It did how ever have her curiosity peaked if nothing else. Though she took a seat she did not run away, though most of the locals would have at the first sign of what was going to happen. The locals knew how ever an pitied the poor female for falling into the demons well laid trap. She glanced at the glass that showed in the illusion that he cast that it held her favorite drink. "Just what did you have in mind exactly?"
Though something about the voice almost rang bells in her mind that it almost sounded like the one in her dreams But it wasn't enough to set her off for the hills at least not yet.

He smiled back at her before glancing around the room. In total there were about seven people in the bar, including the bartender and another staff member. He pointed to a man clearly in his 40s. He was sitting alone and had been glancing back at Jewel ever since she entered the room. "Well you see, I have been searching for a business partner. This partner needs to be quick on her feet, she needs to be able to listen to orders, and she needs to be able to do whatever it takes to get a job done. So here is how we are going to test all three of those qualities at once. That man over there. I want his ID card. He keeps a money clip with that ID card in his left breast pocket."

He gave her time to look over at the man. He was around 5 foot 7 inches tall and probably weighed over 210 pounds. Clearly he had given up exercising after he turned 30 as he had a pot belly and a round soft face. He had just begun to bald and was in that awkward stage of deciding whether to keep onto his last strands of hair or to just shave it all off. Overall, he was not the most attractive man in the room. So Malfesto leaned back, resting his back on the wall as he made a gesture for Jewel to go over. "Take it however you want, but I want that ID in half an hour." He didn't care what she did, she could seduce him, distract him, steal it from him. Hell as long as she got it back here without the man complaining to get it back she would be good enough to work with him.

Once she had heard what he wanted her do and though she looked at the man in question. Jewel knew that she would never do it. Besides she was on vacation and she had no intention on working during her vacation. It was suppose to be fun and not include anything work related at all. "Sorry but you'll have to look some where else for that kind of thing. I wouldn't do it even if it was the last thing on this planet. Now if you will excuse me I am going back to my motel room." She got up and decided to leave.

There was no way she was going to do what he wanted, not only that but it was wrong, and though she wasn't above having fun on her vacation there were just some things she would never do such as try to steal from another person. What ever that voice had tried to do to lure her here it may have secueeded in doing that. But that was all it had been able to do. Though she didn't believe in such creature as demons, very few had the strength to stand up to one, and the fact she had just done it. Actually spooked some of the locals who knew what was going in the bar tonight, and some of them thought the demon wasn't going to like the fact she had just told him no.
