Petra had seen her fair share of demons in the past, but they were nothing compared to what she saw before her. 10 feet tall with hellish red eyes and three heads, this beast looked like something out of mythology.

"Ah a puppy!" Petra tried to seem fearless. One wrong move and she knew it wouldn't hesitate to kill her. Slowly the demon bent down, heads extremely close to her tiny body. It seemed to be assessing her worth.

"Captain," Petra hissed while simpering to the monster. "What the fuck happened to 'could kill you before you even realized I had moved'?"

However, the demon had escaped while she was busy dealing the demon dog. Petra saw out of the corner of her eye, he was on a nearby rooftop, laughing his ass off.

As the monster continued to sniff her, Petra made sure to shoot him a bird before returning to the situation.

This demon was obviously very powerful, but seemed to be waiting for something. The middle head was level with her face, staring at her with those haunting eyes. Tentatively she patted the head.

To her surprise, images filled her head. Pictures of a Dalmatian with a security flashed through her. In the span of a few seconds, she saw the duo work, play, and live a peaceful life. However the last image haunted her: both of them lying on the ground, blood everywhere.

"So you miss your master?" The dog growled in response. Petra hoped that was demon for yes.

Petra racked her brain. This demon looked like Cerberus, so that was probably significant. Cerberus was the guardian of the underworld which made sense, the dog in the images was with a security guard. Suddenly she remembered a phrase she had heard while witnessing those pictures. If she paired it up with Cerberus…

"The shift's over Spot!" The beast seemed to shatter at those words, in it's place was the Dalmatian from before. The dog ran over to jumping on her and licking her face.

"Easy there, boy." Petra laughed and moved to pet the dog. However when she looked up, it had vanished into thin air.

"Hmm, guess you are a demon tamer," Captain voiced as he drifted down to reunite with her.

"What the fuck were you doing? I was dealing with that monster while you were busy-" Petra was cut off however when he took her hand and again she was teleported away.


In a flash, Petra had moved from the alley to a beautiful mansion. Sitting at a nearby table were presumably two demons, one with neatly combed blond hair, another with brown, messy hair in a ponytail.

"Ah, there you are Captain." The first one regarded him.

"Found one." He replied before collapsing in a chair, like he had an exhausting day.

"Oh, they're so cute!" The second demon squealed.

"Will someone tell me what's going on!?" Petra yelled, patience long gone by now. Captain sighed, as if dealing with her was such a trial before introducing the others.

"He's Commander, they're Four-Eyes, she's Petra. I don't give a shit why they need you, Girly, they'll explain." And with that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Four-eyes cackled at the answer while Commander just sighed. "Today must have been traumatic for you Miss. My deepest apologies, but we needed a demon tamer."

"What even is a demon tamer?"

"Glad you asked!" Four-eyes interrupted. "I've been researching your kind for centuries, and know a lot. First what do you know about demons in general?"

Petra sighed. "Practically nothing."

"Who knew Captain would find one so innocent!" They cooed. "Anyway demons are born when a living thing dies experiencing deep emotions and/or a strong will to live. They cause some chaos til you guys come in, demon tamers, the only people who can save demons and help them transcend to whatever comes next."

"Is that what I did?" Petra looked at her hands with a shocked expression.

"Well what exactly did you do?" Commander studied her with cold, calculating blue eyes. Petra recounted her tale of watching the demon's memories and then coming to the revelation of what to say.

"I see, you can tap into a demon's memories." Four-Eyes stared at her with amazement as they adjusted their glasses.

"What that's not normal?"

"No, especially since demons can't remember their lives. There's a reason we go by these stupid code names. But tell me, how did you the dog's name was Spot?"

"Easy," Petra grinned. "I study Mythology at Sina U. Cerburus is based off the Greek word that means 'spotted.'"

"Remarkable for such a young lady." Commander said. "Now I bet you're wondering why we summoned you."

"Do you want to be saved?" Petra guessed.

"Hahaha, Honey I've been up to no good since before you were a glint in your father's eye. I don't care about being "saved." What we want to do is help Captain eliminate some enemies." Four-Eyes explained. "See over the years, we've made Sina our territory. Unfortunately we've been having a nasty pest problem, Petra baby. You can kill a demon, but they'll only regenerate. With you, though we can get rid of them permanently."

"But why do I have to team up with him? Can't I do it on my own?" Petra wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"I'll admit you're very strong, any demon can tell by your aura." Commander remarked. "That's probably why no demon has attacked you before. But trust me, your aura only scares off the small fry. If you want to tackle our targets, you'll need protection, and Captain is the strongest out of us."

"You know, most people wouldn't want to work for nothing."

"Oh don't worry, we'll pay you very well. Once your done, you'll never have to work a day in your life. Regardless," He looked her directly in the eye. "No one says no to a demon."

Petra wasn't threatened. All her life she had wanted an adventure and this was it. Not to mention, she wouldn't have to deal with debt now after school.

"As long as I have time to attend college, and I still can see my father, you guys have a deal!"

"Excellent! There's only one problem though…" Four-Eyes turned to where Captain had been sleeping the entire time. "-we just have to tell him the news."
