The demon named Gohnarth lifted his skeletal, slimy body from that of the young woman, causing his cock to slide from her pussy, soft now that he had spent his lust inside her. His huge, sickly yellow eyes gazed down at the fear and disgust upon her face and he rejoiced at the distress the act had caused her before standing and walking back across the inch deep pool of slime to his throne of bones.
The girl struggled to regain her breath as she raised her upper body up on her elbows and grimaced at the sticky, foul-smelling mucus that now covered her naked flesh. Her small, pert breasts glistened beneath a coating of dribbling slime as her chest heaved from her exertions.
"Ew!" she whispered, getting to her feet. Using the flat of her hands, she scooped the muck from her body and let it splosh back into the shallow circular pool that stretched ten feet in all directions from the Elder Demon's throne. After she had removed as much of the mess as she could without a shower, she slicked back her sticky hair so that she could look defiantly at the cadaverous fiend.
"Well, that's my half of the bargain completed. Now, where's the power you promised?"
Gohnarth's thin lips peeled back in a grin of pure delight as his black, forked tongue flicked out over his needle-like teeth. The young girl was again struck by what he reminded her of - the Terminator skeleton in the Arnold Swarzenegger films, only covered in a tight, mouldy green skin that constantly oozed a thin, clear slime.
"Relax witch, the pact is sealed. You shall have access to the power you need to exact revenge for the death of your girlfriend. The Hagnas shall operate the Machina Demonica and feed you all the excess magic you require. But remember this, human; when I require my tribute, you will deliver it at once or suffer consequences that are best not considered. Understood?"
The young woman dug her fingernails sharply into her palms to stop her body trembling as she nodded.
"Return to your dimension witch, and wreak destruction upon your enemies with your newly acquired power."
The girl broke into a broad, vicious smile as she glanced over to the huge open bronze doors that led to the device room. Inside, she could just make out the lizard-like Hagna demons scurrying all over the enormous mystic-mechanical machine that would gather magical energy and funnel it to her.
"Payback time!"

"Stop right there!" warned Buffy, moving to block the way to the front door.
Dawn skipped down the last couple of stairs and came to a halt, rolling her eyes. "What now?"
"Just what do you think you are doing?" the Slayer said, fixing her sister with a stern look as she folded her arms beneath her breasts.
Slowly, as if explaining to a five year old, Dawn said, "Going out. You know, out. That place that's not in. Out. O... U... T, out."
Bristling, Buffy shook her head, "No way. Not dressed like that you're not!"
"What?!" shrieked the teenager. "Why?"
"Let's start by adding the phrases, 'Hooker wear' and 'not gonna happen', shall we?"
The young girl released a squeal of frustration, "Oh why can't you be normal like other sisters, instead of some control freak with a fun deficiency!"
The Slayer just glared. Undaunted, Dawn continued, "What do you think's gonna happen, anyway? I'll tell you what. I'm gonna go and find a guy that's at least twenty years older than me, strip in front of him and then get him to hump me until I quiver like a jelly!"
"Points for sarcasm Dawnie, but you still ain't leaving the house dressed like that."
"But Buffy!" protested the young girl, petulantly stamping her foot. "It's not that bad! It's sexy!" A brief smile flashed on her lips as she added, "And Faith and Veruca helped me pick it out when we went to the Mall yesterday."
Buffy's mouth opened and closed as she processed that information before she shot an angry glance into the living room. "FAITH!"
After a moment, the brunette Slayer strolled through the archway and stopped to consider the scene, giving a little shrug as she slid her fingers into her jeans pockets. "What's up, Bee?"
Pointing at her little sister, Buffy asked, "What have you got to say about this?"
Faith slowly looked Dawn up and down. The young girl was wearing a tiny black skin-tight miniskirt that barely covered her crotch. Her midriff was completely naked because she had untucked the hem of the white silk blouse she wore and tied it in a knot just underneath her small breasts. To complete the look, she had a slim black ribbon around her throat and her long brown hair was tied back into a ponytail.
Faith grinned and nodded, "Wow, Dawnie! You're lookin' hot, Doll!"
"See?" said the college girl, smiling. "Can I leave, now?"
"No, and a multiple of no! Go and change."
"C'mon, Bee, she's not doin' any harm. Let her go."
"Stay out of this, Faith."
"Hey! You asked my opinion, remember?"
"Yeah, that was when I thought you may have some sense. I guess I should have known that your taste in clothing would only reach as high as off-the-peg-slut!"
"Ooo, that hurts,β she replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. βWhat's the real reason you're so pissed, Bee? Is it because Dawnie came shopping with me, or that we went with Veruca?"
"I don't want her hanging around with that girl. She's a killer, or have you forgotten that fact?"
While the two Slayers were arguing and squaring up to each other, Dawn quietly slid around her sister and slipped out the front door, smiling.
Faith grinned at the anger that came in waves from her girlfriend, "You're jealous!"
"What?"
"You heard. Now, is that because Dawnie treats you like a mom and me like a big sister, or 'cause ya think I've got the hots for Ru?"
For a moment Faith expected Buffy to slug her, but the blonde Slayer just whirled on her heels and disappeared into the front room with a gasp of exasperation.
Standing in the hallway alone, a slow smile of delight spread across the brunette's face. "Okay, so it's both of 'em."

The bell above the door to the Magic Box clanged as Dawn entered. She glanced around the shop, taking in all the shelves neatly laid out with magical paraphernalia and saw that the place was empty apart from Giles.
The middle-aged Englishman was stood behind the glass counter of the shop, studying something in his hand. As he did so, he hooked his spectacles back onto his face and turned the thing around and around.
"Hey, Giles," Dawn said, as she skipped down the three steps that separated the front half of the store from the lower back half.
"Oh, hello Dawn," he said, slightly distracted.
"What ya got there?"
"Hmm? Oh, it is a Draken root... I think. Or possibly the mummified brain of a Snarg demon."
The young girl's face twitched as she fought back a smile. Giles was so loveable! To the casual observer he was a stuffy, tweed-clad fop who existed solely for his ancient books. This was far from the truth though. As a Watcher, it was his life's work to know as much about the mystical and magical as he could; to study and perfect as many different forms of combat, both armed and unarmed, as possible; and to use all that to guide and protect the Slayer in his charge. There was never any doubt in Dawn's mind that he was the greatest Watcher to have ever lived. Ruggedly handsome, too.
She was a little disappointed that he showed no reaction to her new clothing. Ru and Faith had both sworn that any red-blooded male would go gaga over the outfit when they helped her choose it. Dawn was sure that if those two women knew anything, it was what turned men on; they both had that natural sleaziness that seemed so potent when it came to the male of the species.
Standing a few feet away from the glass counter so that he could take in the full view of how short the skirt was, and how good her slender legs looked, Dawn waited patiently with her hands clasped behind her back.
Eventually, the feeling that he should be doing something other than pondering the root/brain sank through Giles' academic thoughtfulness. He glanced up at the teen and noted she seemed expectant.
Slowly, he realised what she was waiting for and looked her over. She was breathtaking! Dawn had always been slightly gawky, reed thin and angular, but that just gave her the beauty of a girl who had yet to fully blossom into adulthood. Even now, at nineteen, she still seemed to have the same frame and features as when she was changed from the all-powerful dimensional 'key' into the slightly awkward human sister of the Slayer. Maybe it was something interwoven into the spell that created her that had made her hardly alter over the years.
Her slim legs rose from highly polished patent black leather mules, through white ankle socks and up graceful curves to her thighs. Those toned delights were more visible than he ever remembered due to the extreme shortness of her skin-tight black miniskirt. She twisted slightly due to her nervousness, but it was enough for him to get glimpses of the tight curves of her buttocks. Her flat, sculpted belly rose upward, with the cutest of little navels in its centre, before the white silk of her blouse formed a knot just beneath her tiny young breasts.
The blouse was strategically unbuttoned to reveal the most of her shallow cleavage, and her collar was upturned to frame her lovely, swan-like neck. Giles was thrilled by the little black ribbon choker she wore; he had always loved to see the small collars around a girl's throat and though it very sensual.
Dawn's full, pouty lips were drawn back in a huge grin as she watched his open-mouthed, speechless admiration and her huge sky-blue eyes sparkled with joy at the affect she was having.
"Like it?"
