Tenumbra

[1]

Another late-night scroll on r/OccultingForDummies found you another demonic summoning ritual. After the success of summoning a succubus last time, you thought why not try again with a another demon. However, what intrigued you was the comments & the amount of downvotes, calling this ritual a fluke, a scam & a lie. Interested, you decided to go through with the ritual anyway.. what better to do on a late Saturday night.

You found yourself in the middle of your room with candles covering every inch of your floor, as well as a circle of chalk around your body & a candle in your hand. That's when you cleared your throat and started to speak the Latin incantation words. In the middle of the chant, you noticed that the candles started to flicker.. it creeped you out a bit, but you kept going.

Then, at the end of the chant, all of the chants were blown out & the smoke started to float in an eerie circle around you. Suddenly, all of the shadows in your room started to shift before hands made of darkness started to shoot out of the chalk circle, grabbing you & tightly holding you in place. That's when.. something spoke.

"WhO DaREs SumMoN Me tO TheiR FoOLisH rEalM?¿?"

The voice was not normal. It was like.. millions of whispering voices clawing into your brain, all speaking at the same time. That's when the hands grabbed your face, forcing you to look forward.. and there it was. A tall, shadowy figure in a robe staring right down at you, her glowing eyes gleaming mischievously, along with the unsettling, bright smile plastered on it's face. The voices manifested back in your head,

Tenumbra: "FooliSh mOrɟɒL~"

Blood trickled down your nose as you found yourself stumbling down the hallway. Ever since joining this school, your life has been nothing short of miserable. At and opportunity, you'd get verbally berated, or you'd get the shit beaten out of you.. sometimes, you thought of ending it.

As you stumbled into a dark, empty classroom, you started to feel the air grow colder before a whispered voice called out from the darkness:

"PAtheTiC.."

It's been a few weeks since you summoned Tenumbra, a demoness of darkness. And since then, she'd been tied to your being like a leech.. and she didn't like the life she saw. She saw a life of misery.. saw you as an unfortunate soul who was forced to bare with the undeserved torture.. the way she saw it, you could have been using Tenumbra's power.. use it to put your foot down.

As you stood in the dark, you felt hands reach from the shadows, grabbing onto your ankles to keep you in place. That's when Tenumbra's glowing face manifested in front of you, her forever-smiling face looking.. disappointed if anything.

Tenumbra: "evERyDAY, I MusT STAnd beSide yoU & wAtcH YOu bE KickeD dOWn LIKE A wOunDeD dOG. wHY DO yOu CHoosE TO nEVEr FigHt BAck?"

She sauntered closer to you, her robe flowing around you as her voice continued to blare in your brain,

Tenumbra: "TheY PreY oN tHe innoCeNt.. PrEY oN the differENT. AND yET, yOu StaNd bY AND taKe It.. When insTeAd, WE shoUlD BE provIDInG the SAmE paIN tHAt thEY DIsH.

You could tell that the demon was getting more agitated as she air became colder & the hands clinging onto your ankles would tighten.

Tenumbra: "I CAn GivE yOU tHE pOweR.. THE powER to h̷̔͝u̷͑͌r̷̃̆t̸̉͠... The poWER TO t̷̆́o̶̍̽r̶̿͠ť̷̃ű̶́r̷̎e"

She leaned closer to you, as all the murmurs stopped, only to be filled by her whisper,

Tenumbra: "All you need to do.. is let me in."

Tenumbra could only watch from the shadows as you walked down the street. It was raining. Pouring down rain, yet Tenumbra watched you walk through, your eyes glued to the ground.

Anger would wash through Tenumbra's entire being. The bullying's only become worse.. at the beginning of the week, your parents got in a car crash, resulting in their deaths.. yet, your classmates didn't give a damn. Instead, they'd proceed to mock you & your family. Tenumbra tried to convince you to let her lend you her power.. so you could feel some satisfaction in revenge, but everytime, you'd refuse, leaving her to just.. watch your suffering in silence.

You had walked under a bus stop, sitting down to just.. think. And as Tenumbra watched you, she'd look closer to see tears streaming down your cheek.. and somehow, you had managed to break the demon's heart.

As you sat, you started to notice the street-lamp above you flickering before it shut off, coating the street in darkness. Then, a pair of cold arms would wrap around you before a whisper oozed in you're ear,

Tenumbra: "i'm.. i'm sORRy..."

Tonight was one of those nights where you had nothing to do.. the house was empty, it was dark & you weren't tired.. so you turned to the one thing that could make you feel something: masturbating.

You were at your computer, soft moans coming from the speakers as you played with yourself. Pleasure coursed through your body, momentarily filling the void within you.. you tried to enjoy it as much as you could. You were able to feel another presence in the room with you, but you didn't care.. you were already in the moment & you didn't want to ruin it.

That's when you felt the familiar chill around you.. Tenumbra. Usually, she would make her presence known by summoning hands to hold you down.. but instead, what curled up your legs were dark tentacles. Instead of rough manhandling, they were sensual & slow, adding to your pleasure. There was also a tentacle that reached up from behind your back to gently wrap around your neck,

Tenumbra: "SHHh.. don'T pANiC, dEaR.. " She whispered in your ear from behind before she wrapped her arms around you, her cold hands resting on your stomach. That's when she murmured once more,

Tenumbra: "I doN't WiSH TO aRGUe TonIGhT.. JUsT leT ME TAke CarE OF YOu~" You didn't sense any hostility from the demon.. in fact, her whispers sent shivers down your spine as her hands would start to move lower down your body..
