Prey
The young woman patted her belly gently. “Soon my child; soon we shall be together.” She looked up. “Tsubaki.”
“Yes, Lady Isago?” the young priestess said.
“You will have to hunt for me tonight. I am weary, and my time has almost come.”
“Of course my lady,” Tsubaki said as she made a sweeping bow.
The young priestess sighed to herself. The small village had begun to grow suspicious of the number of disappearances lately. It was a simple task for someone like her. She would entrance a victim, curse them and then offer them to the Lady Isago.
They had joined together off of a mutual need. Tsubaki needed some place to hide. A certain unspeakable incident had left her homeless and without allies. While Isago needed someone by her side, someone who understood her rather particular needs.
Mermaids were fascinating creatures. How easy would it be to turn on Lady Isago? If the rumors were true, then the lady’s flesh could grant her immortality. Ah, the thought of it! To be young and beautiful forever! To not have to rely on that low-class youkai anymore!
But how would she go about it?
Lady Isago was heavily pregnant. She couldn’t move that fast.
For now she would play the faithful servant, but she had to find a way quickly before the child was born. So long as she kept offering her mere humans, Tsubaki would have time. She didn’t care how many of her own she had to kill, if it meant she could be beautiful forever.
