Vampire King Apollyon

**********************

"Lilith." Apollyon said as he used his Fae Magic to keep her in place. "How did you manage to take the reins of Luna's consciousness?"

The Archdemon of Envy had returned in his beloved's physical vessel.

This bitch was like a disgusting little cockroach that refused to die.

Did his plan to make his beloved wife angry backfired on him?

Was it a stupid thing to do?

Did Luna's anger feed Lilith's awareness to come back to the surface?

Was Luna's anger part of Lilith's triggers?

Her legs tightened around his thighs as if she was prepared to run but she couldn't but unfortunately, she couldn't move.

"It's a secret, husband." Lilith replied. He found it a bit strange that her natural arrogance had vanished. Sweat trickled down her forehead and to be honest, her face didn't look too good.  "I'm not going to tell you that."

Was she afraid of something?

Nevertheless, he wouldn't keep his guard down.

He couldn't kill her so being alert and vigilant would help.

Lilith stayed still as she straddled his lap but he could sense the raw Archdemon power emanating from her aura as they looked at each other.

From this rapid switch between the two personalities, Apollyon thought that being Luna's wife would make him go insane like his mother.

He was reminded of the past events and unpleasant memories with him and the Blood Beast and it stirred this outrage and injustice inside him that his blood lust for Lilith intensified.

He felt like losing his mind.

Apollyon's jaw clenched as he tried his best to contain her strength while she ground her teeth in frustration.

He could sense psychic energy blades coming from her as she poked holes around the expanse of her skin.

Apollyon smirked when he realized she was testing the weakest area of Fae magic he used to blanket over her pores.

She was smart, he would give that to her, but he wouldn't let the Archdemon of Envy outwit him again.

As the Vampire King, Apollyon knew he was powerful but he couldn't quite reckon if he can defeat a manipulative Archdemon--whom his wife and his heir depended their life on—with Fae Magic.

This battle will determine the victor and he was eager to win—unlike his beloved who had lost her hope.

Apollyon was more calm, cool and calculated so that he wouldn't endanger his beloved.

He remained silent and unyielding while Lilith's Archdemon  Magic continued to probe around his enchantments.

When she could no longer penetrate through the strong barriers he reinforced over his enemy's paralysis, he noticed Lilith' eyelids had pressed shut as her body went limp.

As she swayed to the side, Apollyon captured her and allowed her to rest on his shoulder.

A minute had passed and Luna  called his name under her breath,  "Apollyon."

The inflexion of her tone sounded similar to his wife and he immediately assumed it was Luna.

There was no way Lilith could copy the way she spoke. "What just happened?"

"Lilith." Apollyon responded and he didn't feel the need to elaborate.

"I don't know the trigger but I think if I kept this up, I can overpower Lilith's will for a longer period." Luna panted as she wiped the sweat dripping on her face.

Apollyon panicked when he witnessed her pupils almost rolling at the back of her head but he didn't let it show.

He anticipated Lilith to take the reins of this body again.

The knowledge made his stomach feel rock hard. "She is strong but the more she used Archdemon Magic, I became more and more aware of her presence inside me. I blacked out but I know she was there. I can pinpoint her now if I wanted to fight and struggle for control."

Apollyon held his breath as he instructed her in a gentle command,  "Focus on your consciousness hard so that you can return to me. It wouldn't matter how long it will take." He reassured her. "I will wait for you."

"Oh Goddess. Just tie me up, Apollyon." Clutching her stomach, Luna let out an uncontrollable whimper.  "Use your Fae Magic. I can't hold on  to myself any longer." Her chest hitched,  "Lilith will take over—"

The switch happened for the third time.

Apollyon came prepared and he didn't think twice.

He used Fae Magic on her and wrapped it around her like a fortification.

"This—This can't be!" Lilith cried out as she struggled to break free from his restrictions, "How can Luna forced her mind to resurface when I should still be in control?"

Apollyon gave her a smug grin. "It only meant one thing, Lilith. She was learning to observe what you do, pick up the patterns of your brain activity and mastering it until she got it right. My wife is getting stronger and when it comes to that point, we will successfully exorcise you out of her physical vessel."

"No!" Lilith screeched like a banshee. "She wouldn't be able—"

There was silence for several minutes.

"Apollyon. It's h-hard but I'm t-trying." It was Luna this time and not Lilith.

Heartbeat racing, Apollyon opened his arms to embrace her as he patted her in the back.

He was glad that he can differentiate her from the enemy easily with just the speech and her face.

Her body shook all over as if she had been zapped. "If I hold on, I can win this battle inside of me."

"Wife. Call on your Familiars and revoke your commands about them staying at the rock shelter until early morning before it's too late! We had to restrain Lilith for good before she did something stupid." He let her hear both anger and alarm in his growl. "The Archdemons can help us with this. This is the reason why the Goddess Hecate sent them to become your Familiars in the first place!"

"I command Ravin and Sloth to—"

Luna fell against him she kept her head down, shoulders hunching over.

"Freeze, Apollyon, Freeze." Lilith was able to control him with Archdemon Magic. "This is bad.. I'm running out of here."
