part 1 THE DEVILS' CHILD

Angelique was sitting in the comfortable parlor, in the quaint little house
by the sea. There was something missing in her life, but she couldn't clearly say what it was.

Was it a man? Of course not, Angelique had many men; especially Nicholas and Quentin. Joe Haskell could easily succumb to her charms once again. No, it wasn't a man that she lacked. She had power, beauty, and was financially stable. What more could a woman, or a witch desire? Still, there was something missing.

Suddenly Nicholas opens the doors to the parlor.He walks into the room. "Hello, my dear!" He says to Angelique. He is grinning at her as he speaks.

"Hello, Nicholas. "What have you been up to?" She asked him. "You look like the cat, that swallowed the canary." Angelique said.

"I've been to see an old friend, Angelique." He tells her, as he saunters
into the room.

"Who was she?" Angelique asks suspiciously.

"My, aren't you the suspicious one." He tells her. He rests casually in front of the mantle by the fireplace. "No, Angelique; I shall try to satisfy your suspicious mind." "I did not "see" any women today; unless you want to count Mrs. Johnson."

She eyed him curiously. "Well, tell me, Nicholas; who did you see today?" Angelique asked him.

"I've seen our "Master" today, Angelique." Nicholas said.

"Our "Master"? She looked a little worried.

"Now, don't worry, my dear." "He has not come to tell me
that you've "misbehaved", as it were." "He had quite a different bit of
information to tell me." "It concerns you and I." Nicholas said.

"What does he want us to do, Nicholas?" "Whose life will we ruin next?" She asked him wickedly.

"No ones, at least not for the time being." He replied. There was silence for a few moments. Nicholas just stared at her for a time. He had the strangest look on his face. He looked as if he were about to grin; and trying to suppress laughter from within.

"Well, Nicholas, what IS it?" "Why are you being so mysterious?" She
questioned him.

"You, my dearest, Angelique, are about to become a mother!" He said with one, great big, wicked smile upon his face, as he lingered at the mantle.

"What?!" She replied, visibly shaken. She looked at him. Her bottom lip trembled now. He was still standing there, and still smiling that "Nicholas" smile at her.

My, he did look quite handsome and debonair, yet devilishly wicked too. "I knew you would be delighted, Angelique!" He teased her. "Did you know, that our "Master" chose me, as his favorite. Do you know who his favorite witch is, my dear?" He asked her.

She looked at him with suspicion. "I suppose that you are going to tell me, that it is me." She replied, her green eyes flashing.

'You are correct, Angelique." Nicholas replied. Nicholas walked over to her. "He wants us to mate, Angelique." He whispered in her ear.

"You and I?" She looked at his handsome face.

"Do you think it a bad idea, my dear?" He asked.

"I do not know what to think." Angelique replied.

"He wants us to produce a child as we are; evil, wicked, charming, exciting, mesmerizing, and spellbinding!" He told her. "Our child must also be extremely beautiful!" His hands move to her abdomen. He wraps his arms around her. "He wants me to give you my seed, so that it will make our baby grow, in you."

He begins to rub her abdomen, very lightly and slow. Then, he gave it a little squeeze. "My guess is, Angelique, that you shall lose your "girlish" figure." He told her. She looked at him in awe.
