How to Tame a Demon

2

Charlie's POV

Well that was weird. Why did the angels and Adam just leave yesterday? Wasn't their purpose of coming down here to destroy what I've built? Dad has decided to move into the hotel! I'm so happy! I hope he and Alastor end up getting along. I don't need fighting in this hotel. Where is Alastor by the way? Vaggie notices my worry and asks what's wrong.

"I don't know where Alastor is. What if he's hurt?"

"I'm sure he's fine, princess. He's alive," Husk answers before Vaggie can say a word.

"How do you know?" Husk drinks from his bottle as we all wait for an answer. Niffty runs out with her dagger, not the angelic one, creepily giggles. She's chasing a cockroach.

"I can still feel his leash on me."

"Oh. Maybe we can all look for him! He might need help! It'll be today's activity!" I say, putting my hands on my hips and a big smile. Twenty minutes later and a little talk with my dad, I got everyone searching Pentagram City. I look behind a trash can before looking back at Angel and Husk.

"Do ya think Smiles was kidnapped by Adam?" Angel asks Husk.

"Mmm nah. Who would want that asshole?" They both shrug and walk away. I sigh and continue looking.

Adam's POV

I'm fucking awesome. I walk down Heaven with Malcolm beside me. He doesn't look too happy, but he has a smile. He smiles too much. Weirdo. I'll change that. I'm going to make him fucking rock.

Malcolm and I go to Heavenly Beach. Very creative name. Fucking Michael. Lilith sits on her stupid little chair, getting a tan in the big ole sun. Her stupid blonde hair flowing.

"Hey bitch!" I call out. Lilith doesn't do anything for a moment. Is she fucking deaf? Then she stands up and looks at us. There we go. Her eyes shift to Malcolm, angered, then back at me. "I'm taking your pet!" I flash a big smile and put my hand on my hips.

"No you're not."

"Oh no, yeah. That's toootally fine. Not like I can just throw you back down to Hell, *ehem* where you belong, and away from this paradise. And I can do whatever I want."

"Why do you want his soul anyways?!"

"Uhhhhh. Because I do. Hurry the fuck up before I just send you back to Hell now." A gold scroll appears in her hand and she throws it at me. Heh heh. She walks away, having a pissy fit. I open the scroll and scratch out Lilith's name, putting my own. "Your name was fucking Alastor?"

"What do you mean 'was'?" He asks. "Alastor is my name?"

"Mm. No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes. You said I can do whatever I want. So I want to change it back to Alastor." He crosses his arms and stands up straight, trying to be taller than me. Cute. I mean no, ugly. I'm not gay.

"Alright. Fair enough. I'll let it slide if you keep the collar on. I'll change the tag to 'Alastor'." He grits his teeth and I smile at him. He smiles, even when looking mad. Weirdo. Doesn't it hurt after smiling all the time?

"Fffffffine." Yes. I make a finger gun, shooting gold magic at the collar to change the tag. He picks it up and looks down at it. He twirls it in his fingers before letting it drop and sway back and forth on his neck. "What's this even for?"

"So you still know I own you now. I don't do kinky shit with the chains. You sinners are weird. But, you can do whatever, just not leaving Heaven and uhhh don't try to kill me or anyone up here. Anything is fine. Until I find something else you shouldn't do." I look into a void, poking my chin with my finger.

"Commit arson."

"Don't do that, you psychopath. You can't do anything sadistic or violent up here in Heaven, dumbass."

"And here I thought your only rule was to not talk about the exterminations every year. So there is more than one? Hm? This system seems flawed. If you can really do what you want, you could kill winners and angels."

"And if I don't want to kill them?" I raise an eyebrow. But he does have a point, but who would want to kill people in Heaven? You'd be sent down to Hell and die again. Nobody wants that. Hell is disgusting. I ain't going back down there. Bleh.

"You kill demons every year. Winners and sinners are both souls. Are they really that much different? Nobody really knows how to get up in Heaven, anyway. What if you're killing innocent people placed in the wrong afterlife?"

"They are very much different, smartass. Some do good so they come up here and live in paradise. Some sin and go into the pits of Hell and be killed again."

"But I am one who has sinned. Am I different from the rest? I'm just some little sinner who has been lucky enough to survive years of exterminations. But you brought me up here and healed a wound-that you made, but that's beside the point. You've freed my soul from Lilith and for what? What makes me so special? Hmm?" He raises an eyebrow at me and smirks.

"Uhhhh. I-umm. Fuck you. Shut your mouth." He shrugs his shoulders and hums. I walk away and he follows behind me, catching up to my side. Stupid deer asking questions. Asshole.
