I check everything carefully, even though I've already checked it twice. A mistake could mean my death, and it won't be a pleasant one. I take a deep breath to steady myself and light the candles. For a moment everything looks simply beautiful. I grab my athame and slice my left wrist, letting the blood drip onto the floor. Dizziness makes me close my eyes.
"Are you well, little one?" a soft voice asks. I open my eyes to find a gorgeous male with sea-green eyes. My jaw drops, and it takes me a few minutes to remember that I can speak.
"I summoned a demon!" I squeak. He smiles, and I see his fangs.
"Indeed. Now what do you wish of me, or do you just intend to stare?" he mocks.
"I need you to do something." He lets his eyes drift over my enrobed body.
"Really now." I blush, but otherwise ignore his implications.
"I want you to kill someone. A man." The lust disappears, and his eyes grow cold.
"That requires a blood sacrifice." My blood runs cold at the thought of murdering some innocent creature, but I have a solution for that. Besides, he deserves to die.
"Now, or after?" I want to live to see him gone. He studies me for a long moment.
"What do you intend to sacrifice to me? A virgin will work, but I prefer whores." His smile is cruel, but I don't particularly care.
