Hazbin Hotel 31 Day One Shot Challenge

Day 6 - I Summoned a Demon, and He was not What I Expected.

So, this one shot deals with Angel as a human. Anthony is a young stupid child and he is always getting into trouble. One day, he decides to try and summon a demon from Hell because he didn't believe it would actually work. Now, he has a demon by his side, but at what cost?

Anthony looked around. No one was in the hallway. The young teenager smiled. "Molly, the coast is clear. Come on." The boy motioned for his twin to follow him. The young blonde girl giggled.

"I can't believe that we haven't been caught yet."

"Well, yeah, Molls. Mom is out getting food for tonight, Dad is at work with our brother. We have the house to ourselves... minus the people dad has here to watch over us." Anthony shrugged.

Molly rolled her eyes and gave her twin a smile. "Well, Dad doesn't want us to even be talking. It's amazing he hasn't separated us in different households."

"More people spread out." Anthony said. "Anyway, we just need to get out of this house and do something, anything."

"Yeah, I am so tired of staying inside. I wish I went with Mom to the store. Then I would have been able to leave without sneaking around." Molly said.

Anthony glanced at the girl. "And leave me in the dust?"

"Yes." Molly said, smiling.

"How dare you." Anthony whipped his head away from Molly. He acted like he was hurt, but he was really just teasing the girl. Molly, gently gave him a slight push.

"Jerk."

"Yeah yeah, I know I'm a jerk. But that's really just my charm. I mean, if you really thought I was a complete jer, I doubt you would stay near me for so long. Or go along with my stupid plans. Or-"

"Okay, okay I get it. You're my brother, and I would think that everyday life is boring without you. Let's just go." Molly cut her brother off. The twins made it out of the house without being spotted, to their knowledge at least.

They proceeded to make it downtown to a rather shady area. To them, it didn't matter much. Their father was a well-known mob boss, so the underground community wouldn't dare to mess with them without getting on his bad side. The twins had used this to their advantage many times in the past.

They looked around the street before they found a little shop. This shop was not very popular, and typically got a bad reputation. It claimed to be connected to the supernatural side. Or rather the other side. Beyond the land of the living.

Locking eyes together, the twins made a silent agreement in their heads. Walking into the shop, they looked around. There was a vast majority of creepy trinkets scattered all over. From dead rabbit's feet, all the way up to the bones of birds.

Anthony's eyes landed on a rather interesting book. It wasn't out of the ordinary, it was just a red book with black markings. Picking it up, he flipped through it until he found a page on how to summon a soul. This piqued his interest. Taking out his allowance, he purchased the book and the other materials that were listed required to make the full summon. The only thing he couldn't buy from the shop was a sacrifice of some sort. The book wasn't specific on the sacrifice, but Molly suggested just using a dead animal.

Molly was interested in the book, but not as invested as her brother was. She wasn't going to tell him that she didn't believe that it would work, just to keep his hopes up. The The furthest she went was just to simply give him a small suggestion on what the book could possibly suggest. From the shop, she had just bought earrings that she thought were cute.

The twins did make it back home, and went to their respected rooms - they used to share a room until they got older and then their father thought it would be best that they were to be separated so that way Anthony would grow up to be more manly than be influenced by his twin sister.

Anthony was able to acquire some remains of a deer. He figured that would satisfy the sacrifice enough. It was a good thing that his house was full of taxidermy animals.

Anthony followed the instructions closely. From the detailed circle, to the blood ritual, to the incantation. Each candle was lit, the flames dancing to the small breeze that came from the window.

Once Anthony finished, he waited, but there was nothing but silence.

Anthony waited and waited and waited until an hour had gone by. Checking the book again, he thought he did everything. He touched the circle, tracing the outline making sure it was correct, and it was. He placed his hand in the middle and sighed. "Well that was a let down." The boy muttered.

Anthony blinked and looked at the candles with a frown. "I don't remember blowing those out..." he hummed.

Anthony's eyes went wide when the circle started to emit a faint red glow. The boy backed away and until his back was pressed against the wall. A black figure began to form until the silhouette of a man was present. On the man's face, glowing red eyes stared at Anthony. The figure extended his arm and a staff appeared in his hand. Once he had grabbed the staff, he was no longer just a figure of shadows.

The Man Before him was dressed all in red. A fine suit with a long coat, black leather boots and a bow tie. He pretty much looked human, except for the ears a top his head in the antlers. Not to mention the sharp teeth that could be seen in his smile.

"My my, when I felt a pull coming from Earth, I never expected that it was a summon circle from a little boy. How marvelous is that. Somehow, even the young naive people of Earth can summon a powerful demon like me. Hmmm, That's quite interesting." The man spoke with an echo effect.

Anthony stared at the demon before him with a frown. Part of him hoped this was a dream, but another part of him hoped it wasn't.

"Now, based on your spell circle that you summoned me with, you want me to do something. Bound by the rules, I accept this deal. Unfortunately, I am required to accept any deal from the summoner. Now, you were in hell, I could easily make a deal with any requirements of my choice. What is it you would like, my fine fellow?"

"Ummm, I don't know. I didn't think I'd get this far." Anthony said.

The demon tilted his head. "I cannot leave this plane until you and I lead our deal. But you are saying that you do not have a deal for me? Are you saying that I'm currently stuck here? On one hand, it wouldn't be so bad if...." The demon took in a breath. "I could be seen and touch other people. Being on Earth, I could have easily taken any person I wanted, killed them to my heart's desire, but alas, I am tied to you and you alone. No one but you can see or hear me, because of the spell you did."

"So you're saying I have my own personal demon until I complete a deal with you?" Anthony asked.

"Yes, that is what I just..." The demon paused. "You aren't going to make a proper deal with me at the moment, are you?" He growled.

"Nope. If I have only one deal to make with you, I better make it a good one." Anthony grinned. "So I'm going to keep you around until I figure out the perfect deal for us to make."

A/N: All right, I will be splitting this into two parts. This is the first part, and I'm not sure when the second part will be updated. Whether that is tomorrow, or later during this challenge. I only split it up because I ended up having something come up causing me not being able to to finish this chapter. I will not be home until later, therefore causing me to update this earlier than I wanted to and having to split this into two parts. I hope you like part one, will work on part two later. See you tomorrow.
