I’m gonna kill these bitches! Lorelei seethed. She was sweating, her blouse was sticking to her skin. She gred at all the women whose thoughts lingered onto Theo, their darkest desires coming to light, and wanted to shred them apart. Her tail was frozen in striking position; she was a springboard ready to snap! Fire sparked from her fingertips, heating her nails.

  “I can see the devil in all of you…” Her words were sharp, scary even. It definitely frightened Marci.

  “So, are you gonna stare at everyone like this every time we go out?” Marci’s sweet voice was just barely enough to break Lorelei from her fixated rage.

  Lorelei scowled, her tail was constantly hovering in a striking position, its tip aiming at everyone she looked at. Marci slithered alongside her, her school uniform revealing a tasteful amount of blue skin. She kept her shoulders exposed, and her dark hair seemed to flow with her bodies movements. Lorelei couldn’t help but feel mesmerized; watching a mia move could put you in a trance. Blood red scales glistened, the rain seemed to flow across her lower serpentine body. Apparently, Marci had molted a few days ago, the new scales were healthy and shiny.

  Lorelei tried to focus on Theo; he was walking with his roommate several yards ahead of them. The crowds were fairly packed, although not so much as to frighten her. People seemed more focused on the women in the upcoming movie than any living person in particur. Even still, there were plenty of people interested in some of the men on campus, Theo included.

  By the time they made it to the theater, Lorelei had almost forgotten what they had come here for. Her attention was so fixated, so focused on Theo that more than once Marci had to keep her from bumping into something.

  “How about you get the tickets, I’ll get the snacks.” Marci seemed eager to give Lorelei some space.

  “Wait!” Lorelei almost spoke to loud. She jerked to the side to make sure Theo hadn’t heard. Luckily, he seemed lost in his own mind while waiting in line.

  “What?” Marci slithered back to her side. Her head was cocked to the side, her tiny fangs poking through her lips. Lorelei could even hear her stomach rumbling.

  “Could you get me a White Chocote Creampie?” Lorelei fidgeted. She only brought enough Siins for the tickets and was desperate for a tasty treat during the movie.

  “Sure.” Marci had prepared for this. “Not a problem.”

  “And a box of Chocote Somesomes, oh and those tasty Sugie Smashers.” Lorelei’s lips were already watering at the thought of delicious milk chocotes and sugary snacks filling her mouth.

  “Anything else…?” Marci’s eyes were twitching. She was either trying to hide a ugh or was hold herself back from smacking her in the face.

  Lorelei’s hands were close to her chest; her eyes were lit up like Christmas lights. “Maybe… Some Sinister Snappers.”

  Marci shot her a look that bordered on shing out. Lorelei was thankful that her nature only sensed sexual temptations, not outright violent ones. It was painfully obvious that Marci was entertaining some pretty dark thoughts right now.

  “I’m going to buy us some popcorn, two drinks, and one box of snacks. I literally don’t have the Siins for any more.” Marci waved her finger in the air. “So, which of those would you like?”

  Lorelei tried to smile. She knew she should be feeling guilty, asking her roommate to buy her additional food. It was times like this when she missed having a job, just for the extra income.

  “Just one?” Lorelei pouted.

  Marci stood firm, crossing her arms over her chest.

  “Ok…” Lorelei thought about it for a moment before deciding. “I guess… Creampie.”

  “Alright,” Marci shrugged. “White Chocote Creampie it is.”

  “Marci.” Lorelei didn’t know it, but the way she stood could easily come across as rather cute.

  “What?” Marci asked.

  “You’re the best!”

  Marci smirked at that. “Just get us the damn tickets.”

  Lorelei stiffened; her tail was twirling around like its usual self. She checked the Siins storage device she kept hidden in a hair brooch and

  breathed a sigh of relief.

  Five minutes ter

  When it came to all the different kinds of species on campus, mia were perhaps the ones who had the hardest time fitting in. Their tempers fred easily, and if someone was particurly pushy, it often led to biting.

  Thankfully when it came to Marci, no one had gotten bitten… Yet.

  Lorelei heard the crash and saw the crowd gathering toward the concession booths. The moment she saw the fsh of Marci’s red colored scales, she knew her roommate was in trouble.

  A crowd of students had surrounded Lorelei’s roommate, watching as the mia was panicking under the dispy case of the concession stand. Her tail was writhing, trying to pull her out, only for her upper body to be pinned down. It looked like Marci had been the target of an orcs affections, and not in a good way. When she had reached out for Lorelei’s snacks, the orc brute had decided to sit on the counter, his weight enough to cause the roof to cave in and pin her inside.

  “Get off me asshole!” Marci hissed.

  “Make me.” The brute ughed. He was tall, bulky, and easily three times Marci’s weight, at least from the waist up. He had to wear a specialized uniform that stretched over his skin. The buttons on his shirt were barely holding the material together. Dark green skin stretched thickly over sbs of muscle and two tusks protruded from his lower jaw.

  Lorelei wasn’t sure what to do, but her fingers were tingling. She knew exactly what he was thinking, in the deepest recesses of his mind; his lusts were crude and simple, she didn’t even need to be a succubus to figure that out.

  “Hey back off her,” someone else's voice boomed, and its owner came out of nowhere.

  “You stupid little shit.” The orc turned to face the source of the new threat but was too te to dodge the closed fisted punch to his face. Surprisingly, it was strong enough to push him back several feet. The impact was so strong that it dispced the air around the impact.

  Free to move, Marci squirmed out of the booth, then twisted around. Her teeth were bared, and her eyes were piercing. Now she wanted to bite someone. Her rescuer stood between her and the orc, his muscles magnified as if suddenly swelling beyond his natural limits. It was then that Lorelei realized he was a Musclemancer.

  “You little shit!” The orc grunted. To his credit, rather than cry out for help, the brute stood his ground. The massive bruise on his face was healing fast, it would be gone in only a few seconds.

  “Biomancy,” Lorelei whispered, taking a step back. “A Musclemancer fighting a Biomancer? This will take a while. Probably should grab Marci now.” Lorelei did her best to analyze the situation. She ran like a thief through the crowds, grabbed Marci by the arm, and the two of them then rushed from the scene.

  “Hey wait?” Marci wanted to know more. Her eyes were darting back and forth between the human who rescued her and the orc who had taken advantage.

  “Not now, Marci.” Lorelei did her best to smuggle her away. Security would be coming soon, and while Lorelei was curious who the random stranger was, she certainly wasn’t going to stick around while two brutes turned the lobby into a warzone.

  “Sorry,” Marci said to Lorelei once they were out of the way. She rexed her shoulders, and tried to adjust her blouse. “I wasn’t able to get you your creampie. I wasn’t even able to get popcorn.”

  Lorelei was just thankful she was safe. “It’s fine.”

  “Maybe we should just go home.”

  “No! We came here to watch Ultimate Zombie Bonanza, Bimbolicious Babes Against the Apocalypse 2, and by the will of all the majari we are going to see it.” Lorelei looked over at the lines which were now vacant. Everyone was watching the fight. “Look, the lines are empty. We can easily make it in time before the previews.”

  That seemed to make Marci feel better. “Ok.”

  As the two of them headed further inside, Theo was stuck in the crowds. He saw a succubus grabbing the trapped mia just before the fight, and while his roommate was currently in the middle of that fight, Theo was too frozen in pce to help him.

  He got a good look at her, for just a fleeting moment.

  “No… It couldn’t be…” He wanted to chase after her, but before he could do that, he had to save Craig. As strong as Musclemancers were, they couldn’t instantly heal themselves like his opponent could. He wouldn’t st long on his own.

  Swearing to himself, Theo cracked his knuckles, before drawing on the power of his own magic, and stepping into the conflict.
