"Save me your cowardly pleading, Obyzouth," Delilah scoffed. "Weakness isn't a good look for a demon. I do believe you just made up my mind for me."
"Good!" Will nodded vindictively along with Delilah's words. "This unholy bitch needs to learn that humans aren't just toys she can play with so roughly."
"You stay out of this, monster hunter!" Obyzouth spat, shooting Will a dirty look. The orange-skinned succubus turned back to her boss. "Please, Ms. du Charme, give me one more chance. I can learn to control my appetite, I swear!"
Delilah shook her head. "I've given you one more chance eight times already. I have to draw the line somewhere. Look, this doesn't have to be forever. The scrolls of Imhotep also contains a spell to turn humans into succubi. I can restore you once I feel your time as a human has taught you to empathize with their kind."
"That exists?" Obyzouth wondered in disbelief. "I thought that no magic could turn a human into a demon!"
"Imhotep was one of the greatest wizards who ever lived," Delilah responded. "The Merlin of his time, really. If anyone could figure out how to turn a human into a succubus or vice versa, it was him. Now, let's begin."
Obyzouth tried to sprint out of the room, but Will and Valeria grabbed her and wrestled the unruly succubus to the ground. Delilah stood over Obyzouth and unfurled a papyrus scroll. The elder succubus began chanting a spell in Old Egyptian, the rhythmic words stinging the younger succubus like fire.
Slowly, Obyzouth's body began to change. First, her vast bat-like wings began to shrivel into her body. Next, her curled bovine horns sank back into her skull. Obyzouth gasped as her lovely cloven hooves began to reshape into human feet and the hard keratin receded lower and lower until all that remained of it was ten little toenails. Obyzouth's claws were next, blunting into useless fingernails, followed by her sharp fangs and forked tongue, which also took on human appearance. Her eyes also lost their mysterious feline quality. Obyzouth let out a despondent wail of anguish as her orange skin turned peach and her tits and ass shrank slightly, completing her wretched transformation. Obyzouth the succubus was no more; only Opal the human remained.
"I hope you're satisfied!" Opal bawled. "Look what you've DONE to me!"
"I don't know about Delilah, but I'm very satisfied!" Will laughed vindictively. "Welcome to Team Human, Opal! Trust me, it fucking rocks."
"It is temporary... right?" Opal asked Delilah, tears of despair still streaming down her cheeks.
"It lasts until you learn some humility and compassion," Delilah said firmly, "whether that takes a week or half a century."
"How do I do that?!" Opal asked, her voice desperate.
"Only you can answer that question," Delilah said enigmatically.
"I hope I figure it out soon," Opal sighed, feeling her new toes. "I miss my hooves already."
While Delilah spoke with Opal, Valeria and Will helped Roxy to her feet. "You feeling okay?" Valeria asked Roxy. "How's it feel to be a vampire fledgling?"
"Cold," Roxy giggled as she and the other girls got dressed. "I'm still getting used to this lower body temperature."
"You'll get used to it fast," Valeria smiled reassuringly at her girlfriend. "Come with me to Karnstein Manor. Matriarch Carmilla needs to know what happened so she can prepare your initiation ceremony." Roxy nodded.
"Goodbye, Valeria," said Delilah. "I'm so sorry for everything. And goodbye to the rest of you as well. Sorry, but I don't believe I caught your names."
"I'm Wilhelmina Lucy Weiss," Will said, warily shaking the purple succubus's clawed hand, "but everybody calls me Will for short. And this is my sister, Roxanne Nicole Weiss. As you heard, we come from a proud monster-hunting lineage, specifically the Harker family on our mother's side. Don't worry though. As long as you don't go around acting like Opal over there, nobody has to get doused in holy water or bashed over the head with a crucifix."
"How... comforting," Delilah laughed nervously. Even though she truly meant no harm, monster hunters always made her nervous. It didn't help that Will Weiss struck her as an especially passionate and driven monster hunter. Delilah silently prayed to Mother Night that having a vampire for a sister would moderate Will's aggressive attitudes.
"Well, we've gotta run, Ms. du Charme," Will said after clearing her throat awkwardly. "Roxy has to meet her new... matriarch." She said the word as if it were obscene. "Thanks for making sure our 'friend' Opal got what was coming to her. Bye." With that, the human and vampires filed out of the supply room door.
