The Summoning

I've apparently been attracted to writing prompts that bring Hell a little bit closer to home. A lot of which has been inspired from Supernatural. Which I've fallen woefully behind and kinda miss the monster of the week deal they had going on. Anyway. Trying to get back to writing. I keep apologizing for my lack of writing lately. I've been very lax about writing but very busy in general. Works in progress. I swear. Happy reading!

[WP] As the demon stared at the mortal who summoned it, all that could be heard was a sigh before the words, "You do realize this is a marriage proposal, right?"

"Oh for the love of-" he spat as he appeared before the mortal who summoned him. "Is there something I can help you with?"

The human looked at him, seemingly surprised at her success in summoning him. The flame on the candle in her hands wavered as small, pale hands shook.

"Well?" he asked again.

The female squeaked, almost dropping the candle and the demon rolled his golden eyes. The female was small by human standards and looked to be no more than a child in an oversized black sweater, a pair of jean shorts over ripped fishnets and tall combat boots with thick soles. Her black hair was thick and curly, hallowing around her face and her piercing blue eyes were made bigger by the rim of kohl lining them.

"I require your services," the girl-child told the demon in a wavering voice.

"With?"

The girl's pert nose scrunched and she briefly glanced down at the book open at her feet.

"Shouldn't you know that already?"

The demon curbed the desire to smite the girl on the spot and breathed in deeply

"You summoned me, remember? I don't know what you actually want."

"Oh," was the quiet reply. She looked at the demon through the fringe of her bangs. "I need revenge against someone."

The poor lamb didn't even realize what spell she used to summon him, the demon realized. He didn't doubt that her Latin was shaky at best and unintelligible at worst.

"This is your first time doing this, isn't it?" he asked, taking slight pity on the foolish mortal.

She nodded and he rubbed his head, feeling a headache forming. He stared at the girl and heaved a sign.

"You do realize this is a marriage proposal, right?"

The girl froze, blue eyes going wild. And promptly fainted.

"Guess not," the demon mused.
