He knew that his mind wasn't going to be on work tomorrow, but he had to give it a shot. His job was important after all, and fun!

Drip
...
Drop

...He brushed the liquid off his nose.

Drip

...His eye twitched as the liquid hit his eye. He opened his eyes slightly to see if he had a leek in his roof again.

He saw three glowing eyes staring back at him with a cartoon like grin.

Drip her saliva landing on his face.

"OH!"

He shouted sitting up immediately before bonking their heads against each other.

"OW! Motherfucker!"

"Ow, ow, ow, ow..."

It took him a second to process what he just saw. His eyes widened as he turned around to look at her.

"What are you- why are you still doing- still here!?"

Alastor shouted. The girl was somehow sitting on the wall without holding on to anything, just sitting there, rubbing her snout from the sudden impact. That's when he noticed the sticks sticking out of her cheeks were actually whiskers. She had short dark curly brown with a small braid that had a pink ribbon in her hair. Her tail was curly like her hair, light grey skin with dark grey hooves and stained claws, orange butterfly wings that matched her eyes.

Strangely, her right lower arm had a small creature attached to it, it looked like a shadow but not at the same time. Like coal stuck to her skin.
She was wearing a white blouse with ankle high back overall skirt with black suspenders. What the hell was she? She looked more like a kids imaginary friend than a demon.

"You didn't send me back shit head! Now you're stuck with me till next year! ... goddamn why does that hurt more than getting shot?..."

Send her back? Stuck with her!? Getting shot!? I'm supposed to send her back!?!? Sense when was that a thing!?!?!?!?

Come to think of it, every time he's summoned a shadow he's never sent them back. He would just keep them as a pet.

"What do you mean I'm stuck with you!?"

"Every time you summon someone just to make deal and not to keep them as a pet, you have to send them back before the next day! And you failed at that so now you're stuck with me till-... What day is it?"

"February 12? 1926?"

"And now you're stuck with me till next February 12. Congratulfuckinglations."

"........WHAT!?!?" He shouted.

"I can't just have you rouming the earth till next year!"

"Well you should've thought of that before leaving me in the basement. By the way your basement isn't the only place that's frozen now."

"...What did you do..."

"HAAGH!?" He shouted. Looking around at the frozen house, luckily the furniture wasn't touched but had ice cycles forming around them whith the little snow flakes.

"Why would you do this!?"

"Bitch it's fucking hot outside, you should be thankful!"

"I like the heat!"

"Oh... Okay."

Alastors eye twitched. He had to live with this demon for almost two years and she was already pushing his buttons.

He took a breath, trying to remain calm.

"Miss, I need to go to work. When I come back, this better be gone." She made a confused look. "The ice and the snow? This better be gone" she made grumpy face. As if she was holding her breath. "Fine. But I'm not getting rid of everything!"

"Miss... What's your name again?"

"Lemitlance."

"Okay, Lemitlance... Is there anything about you I should know about before I get ready for work."

"I have deich maybe more illnesses plus a breathing problem."

They stared at each other for a hot second.

"I'm leaving."

"This is gonna be fun almost två years pretty boy!"
