Part two of this ongoing series, we are publishing an exclusive interview with Miss V, a professional Succubus.

Compass: Fairly ordinary.  There is something special tho?

Miss V: Well, yes.  The myths didn’t start on their own.  Succubi like myself can touch people’s dreams, and we can take power from other people’s emotions.

Compass: But a Professional?

Miss V: I hire myself out to others who are having trouble at night.  We can help people sleep if we try, or keep nightmares at bay.  You’d be surprised how many people bring me in to soothe the night terrors of children.

Compass: I’m surprised, given the horrible reputation that Succubi must have.  How do you overcome those stereotypes?

Miss V: Honestly?  I don’t mention them.  I’m an actual therapist, having finished my degree before my powers surfaced, and I only use my abilities when I’m out of other options.  Despite the undeserved reputation, people do have a right to feel cautious.  There are several well documented cases of a Succubus turning against the population.  I personally like to think they were driven to it, but  there’s no way of telling now.

Interview with a Vamp is a new weekly column featured in the London Compass.
