A devilish twist

Chapter 1.1

A/N: now lets start by saying, thanks for reading this and please comment and if you like it, please vote. Second, it's not completely edited and third but maybe most important: I don't truly know Latin, if you do and you catch things that should be edited please send me a message (google translate isn't the most accurate but it had to do) thank you!

I hope you enjoy the book!

"Ego voco vos, unus ut rumor meus placitum. Videor pro mihi ut EGO dico , unus validus cedo is totus." I chanted.

The circle had been drawn and I even had bothered to learn extra Latin in my spare time, this had to work. The words I'd chanted before meant: 'I summon you, the one that hears my plea. Appear before me as I call, the one able to grant it all.' That's right, I was messing with higher powers but really, what did you expect from a witch. Yeah, yeah I'm a witch, run away screaming before I turn you into a toad… are you serious? I'm not that evil… well I could and probably would do much worse if you'd annoy me enough, but up until now I've been 'good' for my whole 17 years. But all of that is besides the point…

Suddenly my room was filled with smoke that reeked of sulfur and out stepped quite a handsome guy, but then again when they have a fair amount of power they usually are…

"Hello, fair maiden, I heard you call me. My name is Michael and I'm a-" The demon started, before I interrupted.

"Demon. I know, never came across one called Michael though… that's quite wrong no matter how you look at it."

"I'm not a demon miss… I came from-" He tried to smooth it over.

"The demon world… listen, I hope for you, and your race, that you ain't supposed to be an incubus… that would be really pathetic. But I guess not, as you would have tried to charm me with your powers… instead of mere words that can be heard of any fool. Let me think… Minor demon with the ability to… huh strange, can't detect one. Well guess I can look into that later. Now I've got some questions… why are you here and where's my dad?" I asked rudely.

"Listen little miss can't be wrong, now that you know that I'm a demon, I'll have to kill you or make a pact with you, as I can't go back otherwise… and what's with that attitude… if you know I'm a demon why not run away screaming, I'm not minor and how should I know where your dad is?! You- hey don't turn around when I'm still talking to you!" He ranted.

Instead of listening, I took a step towards the window and opened it with a wave from my hand. Not a second later another demon came crashing in, this one was kind of ugly… and smelled. I immediately assessed him as a lesser demon and sighed. When would they realize they stood no chance and stay away? From the looks of it, he was sent by Asmodeus… again, I really was getting tired of that guy.

"Wha-?" Michael started.

"Sorry kid, got no time to deal with you right now but I'd stand back if I were you." I told him, thrusting an energy bolt at the lesser demon.

"You sensed my powers, not a small feat for such a brat, yet here's where your luck ends. You're coming with me!" The demon screeched, evading my energy bolt.

"Nah, here's where your luck ends, and tell Asmodeus to leave me alone, it's boring." I smirked, twitching my hand and the energy bolt turned around, striking him in the back.

"You witch!" He yelled, not much he could do except for that, at that point… he was stunned after all.

"Animo meo patet, quod volunt fortuna animam mittere in tenebris involutum in eum caligo et illum dolore, illum rursus redire possunt." I chanted, casting him back from where he came from.

There was a lot of light and smoke right before he disappeared. When I turned around I saw thant Michael standing frozen and doubled over in agony.

"I told you to stand back!" I snapped angrily. "Seriously, why can't you listen?! Mom!" I yelled down the stairs.

"What are you- don't call anyone, I'll be-" He pleaded

"Don't complain! I can't cure demons!"

"Wha-?" He seemed confused and it puzzled me how he could even muster the strenght to talk… and how he could seem such a wuss.

"Yes Lili? I thought I heard noise but what's it now? Did he break something again? Seriously, they should stop- oh who do we have here? This little one seems in quite some pain but as he ain't gone, I figure that wasn't the plan?" Mom asked coming into my room.

"Indeed, he didn't listen so the spell affected him too… I can't heal him but I figured you could. Dad and his wounds you know…" I said with a shrug.

"Yes I do know but which spell did you use?" She narrowed her eyes, which meant she knew, I'd cast one of the spells I shouldn't use.

"Sorry mom, he was about to blast my room and was too quick for energy bolts. After it finally did hit, it only stunned him… I can't keep throwing those half-hearted spells without getting hurt myself. Anyway… it was 'My intent is clear, his fortune will end as I cast his soul into darkness, shroud him in mist and cause him pain, make him unable to come back here again.'" I sighed.

"You shouldn't even know the original spell, let alone make variations of it." She scolded and started casting a healing spell. "Curate quidem daemon et liberabis animam suum reversurum in atrati indiget cordis totum doloris velit, ut auferatur dolor poteris remanere." When she casted the spell, Michael fell asleep immediately. "When he wakes up, he'll be fine but you should learn to control that power you have. I told you before, you still don't have your full power and already you should watch out, as you can easily shift the balance."

"I know, I'm sorry mom…" I said with remorse clouding my voice.

"It's fine but I expect you to learn that spell… devil knows when you'll need it again. Did you remember it?"

"I know mom thanks… and yes… it meant: 'Heal this demon, and save his soul, his blackened heart needs to return to whole, ease his suffering, take away his pain so that he will be able to remain.' right?"

"When did you get this good at Latin… I fear for you. Watch out with spells, certainly those you make yourself, a wrong choice of words and it will have dire concequences."

"I understand thanks…" I said with a grin. "So what about Michael?"

"Let him sleep for now." She said putting him in my bed. "You come with me and tell me about what happened."
