David trolled through the stacks, though in truth he wasn't really paying the books much attention. He'd retreated to the campus library after spotting Judy McElvoy across the quad, all wrapped around the jock quarterback while they played kissy-face, utterly oblivious to everything around them. Especially him.

He sighed, letting his fingers drag along the spines as he wandered down the aisles. Judy was the hottest girl at school, and there wasn't a guy on campus who didn't lust after her a bit. They'd had a couple classes together, but she still didn't know he existed. It was depressing as hell, even though he knew he didn't have a right to feel snubbed like he did. It was just...every time he saw her, he felt his heart skip a beat. He'd do anything to be with her, just have her notice him him for once in his life...just to spend five minutes alone with her....

His fingers brushed across something that felt out of place, and it was odd enough to pull him out of his reveries. David turned to look at what he'd touched, and discovered a strange-looking parchment wedged between a couple of texts on 19th Century Philosophers. His brow furrowed with curiosity as he pulled it out, feeling the thick rich vellum against his skin. It was covered with bizarre markings and runes, but as he opened it up and flipped through the pages, one heading jumped right out at him.

To Have Your Heart's Desire

He almost laughed at that, as he read the words below. A spellbook, probably stashed here by some poor Wiccan girl making love potions or something. A waste of time. He almost set it back on the shelf...but something stayed his hand. David unzipped his backpack and slid it inside, before heading for the door on his way home. Maybe it would be good for a few laughs...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was back at the house...and several beers later...that David opened up his backpack and pulled out the manuscript, and started reading it over. It was still ridiculous...but late at night, when you're all alone in the dark, what seems crazy in the light of day no longer sounds quite as insane. A lot of it didn't make sense to him, but he had on hand the things the ritual required. Why not? he thought with a chuckle. Not like I have anything to lose...

It only took a few minutes to find the candles and draw the pentagram, as he knelt before the symbol, stumbling over the strange words he was supposed to utter.

"Voco super te: Percepit Asmodeus, ut det mihi quod desiderat anima mea..."
 
She slept upon her quiet little throne. Her eyes awakened, something was off... She was in her own private hell, well not too private.. as she looked upon so many lustful souls dancing and fucking in front of her. Was it one of the souls she had corrupted? no.... its different. she looked up and saw the rune marks upon the ceiling, was someone actually summoning? Technically her father, but he had been overthrown so many millennia earlier... but as his daughter, she had access to his magics... Time moved so very slowly out there. A thousand years for her, could be simply a year for humans. But moments like that slowed hell, synchronized them briefly. And she listened to the summoner. She felt his wish. A woman. She smiled, they would have a deal.

She closed her eyes and felt this woman, this 'Judy McElvoy,' she was sleeping, sleeping under the influence of a large amount of alcohol. Better, well easier. It was easy to invade this woman's dream. She was startled when she was approached even in the dream. "Time to dump the jock, and get together with this man. She held her hand up and an image of David appeared before her. She refused. And a hand reached her hand reached out to touch Judy's shoulder and a mark appeared on her. a corruption tune. "You will obey. you have no choice." and with that the demoness left Judy's dream.

Judy awoke wit no memory of the dream, but an odd tattoo that she must have got while she was drunk. She was embarrassed. during lunch that day, she got into a huge fight with her boyfriend,a and all of a sudden he didn't even seem remotely attractive. In an impulsive declaration she dumped him and left. That evening after her last class she stopped int he University's library and found herself up in the philosophy section, she saw a guy, and he suddenly seemed like the most attractive man on the earth. She found herself for the first time ever stumped at talking to someone. and then she saw it, he was holding some of piece of paper... and it had the same mark on it, that she had for her new tattoo. Icebreaker! She walked up to him, somehow knowing he was going to get lucky with her tonight.

meanwhile the demoness watched everything playing out. a smile on her lips, "give into Judy, young David, and that which you hold most dear will belong to me."
 
David was back in the library the next evening, his memories of the previous night a little fuzzy. He'd remembered the odd manuscript he'd found, and he'd done...something. He wasn't sure what, exactly, but the next morning he'd found the puddled remains of candles and a crude pentagram drawn on the floor. Crap....how much did I drink last night? he wondered, as went to work cleaning up the mess. Living at home had its perks, but the last thing he needed was to have his mother find this! She'd probably think I'd started worshiping Satan or something, he thought with head shake, scraping off the dried candle wax and scrubbing up the markings until the floor was spotless again. He dumped everything in the garbage can outside, and got ready for school...shoving the manuscript in his bag to return to the library before heading out the door.

He found his way back to the same section he'd found the book, looking around him before slipping it out of his backpack. Stealing from the library was frowned upon, to say the least, though he hadn't noticed a University sticker when he'd flipped through it. Oh well....better safe than sorry. He was just about to slip it back on the shelf....when Judy McElvoy appeared beside him. David blinked in surprise, the book all but forgotten in his hand. "Oh...hey, Judy..." he said with a stammer, shaking his head to get himself under control. She was actually looking at him! For the first time, he wasn't invisible to her! This is great! he thought to himself, Maybe things are looking up after all!

A strange sense of calm came over him, as he nonchalantly leaned against the stacks, and smiled at her. "You're looking especially lovely tonight...." he said with a sly grin...as he dropped the manuscript on the shelf, dismissing all memory of it....though some part of the previous evening tickled the back of his mind. You don't suppose...Naw, couldn't be.... he thought with a chuckle, as he gave Judy a wink.
 
The demoness watched the interaction of the two using her sorcery. David greeted Judy. She smiled, "Oh, You know my name, that's cute. Do i know you from somewhere. i was standing over there, and I saw you, and thought I should introduce myself to a cute man like you." she had almost said 'cute boy,' but somehow her mind couldn't go there and 'cute ma' came out instead.

She giggled and twirled her hair. biting her lower lip as he told her how 'especially lovely' she looked. "Thanks sweetie. you're so nice to me." She giggled again, she wasn't sure what was driving her to be so openly flirty like this to a complete stranger. but her new tattoo kinda itched. and she scratched it. She felt herself moisten. She wanted him. "So what brings you to nineteenth century philosophy?"

The demoness continued to watch everything unfold being sure that she had kept her end of the bargain.
 
He couldn't believe how easy it was...all this time without being noticed, and suddenly, it was like every word coming out of his mouth was pure gold. He'd never felt this confident before, not with someone as hot as Judy was, and the grin on his face just kept getting wider. "I remembered you from English 201," he said with smile, putting his hand on his chest. "David...third row?" he said by way of introduction, hoping that would jog her memory.

He took a step closer, and casually rested his hand on her arm. "I was just checking on a book, but...maybe you'd like to go somewhere a little more...private?" he suggested with a smirk. Whatever he was doing seemed to be working...so what did he have to lose?
 
The demoness amused watching the two going forward. She hadn't expected the boy to move so quickly with the thrall.

She giggled when he mentioned English, "Oh, that's why i don't remember you, that was such a boring class. I wish I had seen you earlier, it could have made the class more fun." she giggled again inching in a little closer to him. She stopped biting her lower lip when he stepped in and seemed genuinely more comfortable with him, and even a bit excited when he put his hand on her arm. "You are so adorable David."

he asked her about finding a place a bit more private. She nodded her head, "I know just the place." she took his hand and walked down a couple flights of stairs into the basement area, and opened a door to a closet, there was a smelly mop bucket which she pushed outside, and pulled him in closing and locking the door. "i know its not the best place, but it is private..." she said as she took off her sweater and undid her bra. "Well you're seeing mine, how about I get to see yours..." followed by a giggle.
 
It was like he was living a dream...or a fantasy. Judy moved even closer, thrilled just to be near him, and when he touched her it was like electricity ran through his fingers, spreading across his body like wildfire. And when she called him adorable...he absolutely melted. "You're pretty wonderful yourself, Judy," he said with a grin, blinking in surprise as she took him by the hand and led him away, down the stairs and into a small janitor's closet.

He looked around, wrinkling his nose. It wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind...a motel, maybe...but when Judy locked the door behind him those concerns went right out the window. David grinned at her in anticipation, but she moved even faster than he did, yanking off her sweater and unhooking her bra, letting her...incredible breasts...fall free. His jaw dropped in pure amazement, but when she asked to see his...

David undid his belt and unzipped his jeans, pulling them down to his knees...along with his boxers, all thoughts of conversation pushed out of his mind as he pulled her into his arms, kissing her hard as he began to fondle her tits.
 
"You think I'm pretty wonderful? you haven't even tried me yet." She giggled clearly in a sexual high.

She watched him drop his pants. and she giggled again, "I meant your nipples... but that's okay, it looks..." She looked up and trying to copy hi tone, 'wonderful.' She gggled a bit more as she dropped down to her knees, and used one hand to work it, while using her tongue to do long slow licks on the underside in an attempt to get him hard... He was just about fully hard, a she hadn't even wrapped her lips around his head yet. She paused after a few moments, "Don't cum yet... I want you to fuck me first... If you think your close, let me now, I'll stop and get ready to switch positions... So no cumming until I say so... okay?" She waited for her answer paused her fist tight around his cock, and her lips open ready to take it in.

The demoness was still watching... though truthfully, she had to sometimes wait years to continue since time move at such a different pace, but she would wait for moments to pass and watch them... And she was certainly delighted to see how quickly Judy had taken in the bait... and wasn't sure if she was delighted, or feeling pitty for the poor mortal who was wasting this opportunity in such a pathetic moment in such a born place. but at least she is following through with her side of the bargain.
 
Ok, so he'd misunderstood. David blushed and shrugged, giving Judy a shy grin as she looked down at his crotch. "Oh...thank you?" he replied, as she complimented him. It wasn't something that women usually commented on...not in a positive light, anyway. But as she dropped to her knees and reached out to take his cock in her hand, giving it a few licks, his body responded in a heartbeat. He moaned softly as he felt her hot and wet tongue work it's magic, nodding frantically when she made him promise not to cum in her mouth. "Oh no...I swear I'll let you know when I'm close," he vowed, and for once in his life he actually meant it. Judy was right, it would be a waste to blow his wad in her mouth...the first time, anyway.

David's hips began to move as she worked her magic, his eyes rolling back as his moans grew louder. It was incredible...better than he'd ever dreamed. After all these years, to finally have her here, now....to finally have her. Thank you God, he whispered in his head, as he felt himself getting close. "...unh...Judy...almost....there..."
 
She bobbed her head back and forth faster a faster.. harder and harder with each thrust... She felt he was going to cum soon, and then he said it. and she used her index finger and thumb to gri the base of his penis, stopping him from being able to cum... "Hold it.. good boy..." she giggled as she held his cock firmly until the 'twitching' stopped.

She eventually let go. and walked tot he door spreading her legs and bending over, using the door for leverage. She looked over her shoulder at him, "come on big boy... don't you want to fuck my pussy?" she almost surprised herself with how forward she was, that wasn't lie her, but it just felt so hot... She lifted up her skirt, "its hotter when my skirt is still on isn't it?" her tattooed tingled, she scratched at it for a second and let out a soft moan as one hand left the door and moved down between her legs... inviting him... "Please..." she gasped, "I need it.. I need you..."
 
David thanked God once again he'd kept his word to Judy. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately...though who could blame him? But she'd realized he was getting close even before he'd warned her, pinching it off and letting come back down before letting go and rising back up to her feet. Damn...every move she made was sensual, and when she went to the door and bent over, exposing that firm round ass, David's eyes zoomed in like laser beams.

"Oh yeah...definitely leave the skirt on," he growled, moving behind her and flipping it up, pulling her panties aside and pressing his cock against her steaming wet pussy. "Fuck...I've thought about this for so long, Judy..." he moaned, pressing his hips forward and entering her slowly from behind. He grabbed her hips with both hands, slowly stroking in and out of her as he found his rhythm, giving her butt a little smack as he began to pick up speed. "That's it baby...don't stop...."
 
She felt him come closer, agreeing that skirt on was hotter, she felt him pull her skirt up higher... She briefly thought about her panties, but he seemed to take care of that pushing them tot he side... She felt him push in, and she pushed off the wall back at hi at the same speed. "Ohh fuck... that feel amazing..." She used her hands to push back off against the wall, almost like doing push ups, except using it for extra stimulation. Judy never realized what a squealer she was, but she was loud, half-hoping someone would hear her on the to her side...

There she was getting wetter, getting louder and listening to the squishy sounds of their sexes banging. "That's it.. fuck me like that.. fuck me baby..." She gasped... "Rip me in half if you can!" She honestly didn't know whether she wanted him to blow his load real fast, or if she wanted to make this last... but she didn't think he would last long give how he was ready to cum with her blow job like a minute earlier...
 
Judy was howling like a banshee as he pounded her, almost screaming at him to fuck her harder...and David was happy to oblige. An almost feral growl rumbled in his chest as he dug his finger into the soft flesh of her hips, his cock sliding in and out of her wet juicy cunt as his cries joined hers. "Oh fuck...that's it baby...God, you're an animal Judy..." he moaned, his hips slamming into her as his belly slapped against her ass, adding to the noises they were already making.

He wanted it to last. He really, really wanted to make it last...but when you've been lusting after the woman of your dreams for years, and she finally gives you everything you've ever wanted...stamina goes right out the window. Faster than he'd thought was possible he arched his back and roared like a lion, exploding inside of her and spewing his cum deep inside her pussy, moaning with every sensation as he pumped into her again and again, before finally collapsing on her back.

"Oh...Judy...it was so good..." he whispered, reaching up and fondling her firm bouncy tits, "....you were incredible..."
 
She bounced back and forth with every trust he gave her. She felt her own orgasm coming upon her, just holding back.. she couldn't quite get there and she didn't know why, but she screamed every time he slammed it in... she moaned everytime he pulled out. She was in utter ecstasy... She heard hi call her an animal, and she felt her pussy tighten around his cock... She couldn't help her self it just happened...

Then she felt him cumming inside her and it triggered the most powerful orgasm she ever had... almost knocked her out... She was gasping for air. she heard him compliment her, "yeah... you too, haven't cum like that in... well ever..."

though something clicked in her mind, and she didn't really want to be around him. she wasn't sure, he just gave her an incredible orgasm, minutes ago he was so hot to her.. She started fixing her panties and skirt trying to be nice. grabbing her bra. "it blows my mind how great you were." Pulling her sweater back over her head... "See ya in class Danny. Thanks..." and she opened the door and left...

What had come over her, she wasn't the kind of girl to slut around like that... she was waling across campus, and ran into a couple of her now-ex boyfriend's friends... They tried to be almost civil, but were obviously giving her the cold shoulder... but then she felt the itch on her tattoo, and looked at them, and suddenly she knew she was about to have her first threesome.


The demoness watched... she spoke aloud knowing that he couldn't here it, "My side is complete David.. In one year I collect what you hold most valuable..." and at the same time, her new thrall would quickly become the campus slut, and each orgasm from her or the ones she fucked would fuel her power.
 
David was still panting heavily, his entire body buzzing in the afterglow of the most powerful orgasm he'd ever had in his life...when Judy suddenly pulled away from him, adjusting her now very soiled panties and smoothing down her skirt as she reached for her bra and sweater. He blinked in surprise, stumbling backwards at the sudden change in direction, almost tripping over the pants that were bunched around his ankles.

"Hey...woah, Judy...there's no rush..." he stammered, but she was already pulling on the rest of her clothes and bolting out the door. "Wait...can I call you?" he said to her back, as she disappeared around the corner and up the stairs.

"Well...fuck..." he grumbled, before looking down and blushing furiously, reaching for his pants and pulling them back on. It took him a minute or so to make himself presentable again, and then sighed heavily. Well...it had been great, even if it had been a little...short. Still, he had to smile as he grabbed his bag and left the closet. All these years, and he'd finally gotten what he wanted. Totally worth it, he said to himself, as he headed back up to the library himself.
 
Sarah had been cleaning the house, David, her son was coming over tonight. They often had movie night on Wednesdays as he had no classes. Though it almost felt strange that just a few years ago he graduated high school. her son was growing up so fast. She put together a simple meal, teak and corn with the odd hash browns which were usually a breakfast item, but sometimes it just worked out in her head that the flavors would mix perfectly.

She wasn't actually sure if he ate or not, but college students.. they usually don't get home cooked meals that often.

She picked up her phone and texted David asking when he was coming over, though she kinda knew he would probably be there momentarily and her next text would probably be him telling her that he was int he driveway.


The demoness jumped almost with a start as the wall turned was turning black... The time of the deal had been passed, she had forgotten it, it was so many millennia ago it wouldn't be long now, a few more years for her... a couple more hours for her new possession.. David.
 
David smiled as his phone beeped. He knew it was his mother before he even looked, asking when he was coming over. Regular as clockwork, she was. He tapped out, "B rt thr", since he was only a few blocks away. He could have just ignored it, but he knew she worried if he didn't reply. Moms. What can you do?

He pulled his car into the driveway and killed the lights, whistling as he unlocked the front door. "Hey Mom, it's me," he called out to her, shrugging off his coat and tossing it on the hook, before wandering into the dining room, following the scent of freshly charred cow. "Mmm...steak..." he said with a grin, as he found her putting the last minute touches on their dinner. "You spoil me, you know," David told her, giving her a kiss on the cheek as they settled into their Wednesday night routine. "So what did you pick for a movie? Please tell me it's not "The Notebook" again," he said with a smirk.
 
Sarah smiled when she saw the text. She knew he was fine, but mother's do worry.

A couple moments later she heard the car pull up and she started setting up the television and the dinner table. "Hi sweetie." she stpped what she was doing for a moment and walked into the room and gave him a hug. "I missed you when you didn't come last week."

He asked her about a movie, "I was thinking the Notebook, we haven't watched that in a while." She held a straight face for a moment, "I'm just kidding, I know you didn't love the movie the first time, and I really hoped you would have picked up o some of the finer and subtler moments the second time... but... She let out a sigh... "I did pick one out.. 'The Devil's Carnival.'

She used her phone app to stream the movie to her television with the neat little device David installed on the HDMI thngy a few month ago.. The movie starts... "up to you if you want to eat in here and watch, or take your plate to the couch." a moment later the movie starts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idg41jBax8Y


The demoness waiting for the time to pass stops, and sees the movie, "Oh? has human entertainment actually gotten better or worse?" secretly watching along with the mother and son.
 
He froze in mock horror before he realized she was pulling his leg, shaking his head and chuckling. "Ok, you got me," he said with a smile, trying to remember if he'd seen the movie she'd picked before. "Hmm....don't think I know that one. Sounds interesting." He considered his options before answering, "Lets eat in the living room. Easier to see the TV that way." He helped her carry the plates and glasses over to the coffee table, glad to see she was streaming movies now. It had taken him forever to break her of the DVD habit, but she was downloading like a real pro now.

The two of them settled in, and he gave her a quick hug as the movie started. "This is nice...dinner and a movie," he said with a grin, "...and with my best girl, too." He smiled at his mother, though he wished she'd get out more. She was still an attractive woman, and he knew she got lonely sometimes, but getting her to date was a bigger battle than introducing her to Netflix had been. He started in on the steak, though he did manage a sigh. "...a musical?"

Oh well...at least it's not another chick flick, he sighed to himself.
 
"Yes a musical... and a horror movie.. sort of..."

The movie was interesting, not a huge budget movie by any means, but they watched as the devil brought a bunch of souls by train to heaven against their promises.. God who was portrayed as less than perfect.. or less than interested as he was less angry and more annoyed that the distraction was taking away from his masterful creation. it went into back story of some characters and how looking into the history of God's creation had condemned some to hell, while on Earth sin lead to people being sent to hell.. and how the devil broke the rules and sent every soul to heaven becasue there was redeeming value in everyone... and ultimately God was not pleased... all told in gory delight and song.

When the movie was over, Sarah asked David, "Well what did you think?"

And an answer barely escaped his lips when Sarah looked down and saw a candle on the floor, "Where did that come from?" and another, and another.. until there were five and a black tar substance poured out from underneath and started creating a pentagram with odd runes... and the black started glowing red and a female shape started to appear, all black, and slowly faded to a woman in red... and by red, her skin was red. "Hello David, its been one year... I have fulfilled my side of the contract... Now its your turn."
 
David smiled at his mother. The movie had actually been pretty good, despite his initial misgivings about musicals in general. It wasn't something he'd have chosen, but the plot had captured his attention and been more than entertaining. "I liked it," he answered, "although, I'm curious how you stumbled across something like..."

He froze, and stared at the candle that had suddenly appeared in front of them. "What the Hell?" he asked in shock, as four more candles appeared along side it, and a demonic looking pentagram started drawing itself on the floor. His eyes grew wide...something about all this seemed....familiar...

Character-Design-No.64-by-Cyzra.jpg


His heart seemed to stop beating in his chest as a cloud of smoke seemed to swirl about them, coalescing into...a woman. A woman unlike any he'd ever seen before. Her blood-red skin was covered in strange markings, and if he'd any doubt where she'd come from, the horns on her head and the long spike-tipped tail that danced around her answered the question in a way that was impossible to ignore.

"No...it can't be..." David stammered, but when she focused those glowing eyes on him and called him by name, all the memories from a year before came rushing back to him. The strange manuscript he'd found in the library....the ritual....Judy....all of it was suddenly as clear in his memory as if it had just happened.

"Oh my God....what have I done?" he asked in horror.
 
Sarah was a stunned as the red woman appeared before her. Almost a chill irony given the movie they had just watched. about demons and such. The she called David by name, asking about his turn. Sarah still visibly stunned was all but frozen in her seat on the couch and turned her head to David. At first he seemed shocked.. stuck in disbelief and then an admission of some kind of guilt.

The demoness basked in the toxicity within his fear. "Why are you questioning it David? You summoned me. I fulfilled your request, did I not? were you not satisfied?"

Sarah managed to ask, "David?"

The demoness smiled, "Yes David... why don't you tell your lovely mother what you are willing to sacrifice that which you hold most deer for. tell her why she will no longer have her loving son in her life..." She smiled wider, "As I am going to take what you hold most dear.. your sense of self.. individuality... the essence of who you are... or simply.. your soul."
 
David's mouth moved, but no words came out. This can't be happening...it just can't, his mind gibbered, but the sight of the...of the demon...was impossible to ignore. He couldn't be hallucinating it, not if his mother could see her too, and the stench of sulfur in the room almost made him gag. He slowly turned to his mother, desperate to make this all go away, but in his heart he knew it was impossible.

That he was doomed.

"I...I thought it was a joke," he babbled, "I never thought it was real, Mom," he whispered. "It was...a girl..." David managed to get out, ashamed at himself and what he'd done. "God, Mom...I'm so sorry..." he managed to choke out, as his eyes filled with unshed tears. He was going to lose his soul for a ten minute quickie in a janitor's closet? How was that even possible?

He turned back to face the demon, shaking his head. "No...no, I won't go..." he told her...though how he was going to stop her was a question he didn't have an answer for.
 
Sarah didn't even now how to respond, somehow this demon was claiming she was going to steal her sons soul. and his admission that it was for a girl... sarah looke dback and forth... why would he.

The demoness added, "Not just a girl. Not looking for a relationship... he wasn't looking for love, at east that wasn't his wish. he just wanted to feel her cunt rubbing over his cock repeatedly, and she did. then she left him after they fucked for ten minutes in a library closet." Giving details to embarrass him in front of his mother. rubbing in both their faces that David surrendered his soul to a hot chick in a library closet having sex."

Sarah listened then looked at her son. She suddenly remembered a night he came home from school. She was going to ask him about some wax on the floor, from a candle, it looked like he had cleaned up a mess, but not very well.. But he seemed so out f it, she just never brought it up and suddenly it made sense... He was falling for a girl, he must have finally managed to get the nerve to talk to her, they had sex, and she walked out on him leaving him feeling crushed... "Oh David..." but with that she felt energy building up within her self and she pushed herself to her feet and stood between the demoness and her son, her arms and legs spread out as if trying to block her. "You will not take my son."

The demoness laughed, "Well he said he won't go either, but you are both about t learn, that saying he isn't coming with me, and actually stopping me from dragging him down with me, are two entirely different things."

Sarah looked down at the pentagram for a moment, and then back at her son, with a sad look in her eyes, looking back at the demoness she spoke with strength in her voice, "Then take me instead."
 
As horrified as he was about what was happening, hearing the demoness spell out exactly what he'd done to deserve it to his mother was a thousand times worse. His fear at what she'd do to him was nothing in comparison to the utter shame he felt as the demon told her exactly what he'd done, in darkly amused tones. He'd do anything to take it all back, but he knew that wasn't possible. Just like the movie they'd watched, he was damned. Damned for all time.

David bowed his head, utterly defeated...until he heard his mother offer to take his place. His head snapped back up in shock, staring at her in horror. "No! You can't, Mom!" he shouted, his eyes casting about desperately for something, anything, when he spotted the remains of their meals sitting on the coffee table. He pounced, snatching up a piece of silverware and throwing himself between the demoness and his mother.

"You aren't taking her!" he screamed, lunging at the creature with a steak knife.
