Walking up the stairs of the Metro Station, and out into the sultry weather and busy streets of D.C. in the summer time, she studied the reaction of the humans as she walked among them. No human reacted when they saw her, and this pleased her. What she didn’t see coming was a spirit of Murder and Hatred coming towards her.
“Why are you in human form?” the spirit asked.
Thinking quickly, and not wanting trouble, she said, “I’m just seeing what it feels like.”
Glaring at her with eyes of slits, the demon said, “If I catch you in human form again, I’ll be sure to kill your human body myself, and have you dragged to Hell, immediately. Do I make myself clear?”
Knowing better than to argue with the most vicious and powerful of the dark spirits, she immediately changed back to a Lust Nymph, and headed back to her cave in the Second Heavens. “Phew. That was a little too close. I’d better be sure to tell no one when I go back to Earth.” Regretting having told of her plans to VD, Poisonous flew to VD’s cave, and entered without announcing herself. “I have something to say to you,” she said.
Startled, VD jumped and held her chest. “You scared me.” Calming down, she asked, “What do you want with me now? I thought you were going to work on your own.”
Stone faced, she answered, “I am. I just want you to be sure to tell no one. I just met a demon of Murder and Hatred, and he almost killed me.”
“Well, you wanted to do it your way. I can’t help it if there is danger involved,” VD said, crossing her arms, and looking defiantly at her old partner. “But, as I said, I’ll tell no one out of what used to be our friendship.”
Ignoring the emotion in VD’s voice, she said, “Good. I’m counting on you to do the right thing by me.”
VD didn’t answer: she just stood there, staring and saying nothing.
She flew back to her cave, and hung from the ceiling with her claws. She didn’t hear him coming, but one of Lucifer’s personal aides flew into her cave. She fell from the ceiling, and landed on the floor. “Owww. Couldn’t you have at least warned me you were coming?”
He ignored her plea, and said, “What you need to do is heed my warning. I’ve heard from Dark Death that you have been spotted imitating a human without the proper authorization. If you’re caught again, you will be immediately dragged into the Abyss, by the Sentinels of Hell. Are we understood?”
“Yes, I understand you,” she said, impetuousness in her voice.
“You’d better,” he said, then flew away.
Shortly after the aide of Lucifer had left, her eyes turned to the throne of Lucifer. Poisonous yawned, uninterested. “You and your boring ideas. I need a change of pace, and to do something other than following your archaic, worn-out plans. I’ve made up my mind, and I’m heading to Earth to wreak havoc, Hell or no Hell.” The smile on her face grew larger with each passing moment. Then she screeched with pure demonic joy, as she prepared to land on earth, and ply her trade in twisting the thoughts and intentions of human beings, as well as inflicting pain and suffering—in the flesh, so to speak.

Her black heart pounded within her, pumping a source of venom and death, and added to her lust for leading sons and daughter of men to destroy themselves with meaningless relationships and a twisted view of the Father, Lord Yehovah.
The first thing she needed to do was to pay a visit to one of her favorite victims: Shane Logan. He was an extremely handsome rake that she had trained since he was about twelve years old and such a good learner. “I made sure that Evie could not convince her sister that Shane is a debaucher, and that Gracie’s virtue got tarnished. They left Shane, but I have more poisonous lust to fill his heart with.”
Alighting in the Friendship Heights neighborhood of D.C. she descended the stairs of the Friendship Heights Metro station, went into the women’s room, and changed into human form, wearing a very revealing outfit to accentuate her female features. Walking out of the Metro station, and up the street, she entered the Chase Point Condos, and took the elevator to the eighth floor. Arriving at unit 898, she knocked on the door. Deep blue eyes met hers, and took in her form before he said a word. “Hi. I’m a new neighbor of yours. I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me about the apartment complex?”
“Sure,” he answered, “Come on in.” Once seated, he asked her, “May I get you a drink?”
“Certainly. Would you make me a Bloody Mary, with lot’s of hot sauce in it?”
He returned from his liquor stand, gave her the drink and then sat down next to her. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Shane Logan,” he said, taking her hand in his.
“I’m Perri Loliyekar; nice to meet you, Shane.
Shane said, “To answer your question, I’ve lived in this complex for about four years; moved in shortly after college when I got my first job. I like it for the location, first: it’s right near the Friendship Heights Metro station. Second, it attracts young people like myself who like to work hard and party harder. What brought you here to these condos?”
Poisonous pondered her answer for a few moments. “I moved here because I heard that this is a place full of young people who like to have fun. I’m all for fun, you know.” Her body moved closer to his, skin touching him
