We pledge this honest word...
The sound echoed in Katherine's mind.
To harm no beast or bird...
It was Samantha's voice.
Friends forever, to the end...
Singing the sorority pledge song.
I'll be there forever, forever my friend...
Katherine slowed for a moment. Maybe Samantha really was there to help. Or, this could be a trap! She began running again.
Trust in me, I'll trust in you...
The words struck a chord, though.
Friends forever, friends true blue.
Katherine stopped running. Samantha had been right. She could have taken her at anytime. She owed her friend the benefit of the doubt. She waited for her succubus friend to appear.
It didn't take long for Samantha to come winging from the sky. She had dropped her mortal disguise, and now appeared as her naked demon self.
"Don't be afraid," Samantha said, hitting the ground and becoming her mortal guise again.
"Just stay back, for now. I want to trust you, but I can't take a big risk."
"Let me do something for you then," Samantha said, "To prove that I'm still the same 'ol Samantha."
"You want to do something? Then you can..."
