58 days left until Extermination...

The show was huge hit that Mimzy suggested the she hosted an after party. Demons, imps, hounds, and other creatures were mingling, chatting, with some occasional flirting, and dancing with each other. Niffty was pushing Baxter into dancing with her. Anna sat down to rest as she watched them. Charlie came rushing over with Vaggie over to the table.

"I can't thank you and Am enough!" She exclaimed, happily. "I know that it's probably not enough to encourage everyone. But, it's enough to give them hope. Thank you!" Anna smiled.

"I made a promise, didn't I? I always keep it."

"Aren't you going to dance with the others?" Vaggie asked.

"Maybe, I'm going to rest first." Anna replied.

"Well, Vaggie and I are going to dance! Bye!" The princess shouted as she dragged the moth demon away and onto the dance floor. As Anna watch them as the two left, she heard a chair slide next to her. She turned her head to see that it was Angel.

"Why aren't you out there with the rest of those losers?" the spider demon questioned.

"I'm resting. Dancing in high heels is not exactly easy you know." Anna groaned as she stretched. "My back is killing me."

"Uh huh, sure," Angel replied. He turned his head and saw Husk leaning against the wall, drinking some wine. Anna glanced over and saw the spider demon looking at the cat demon.

"Why don't you go over there and ask him to dance?" She asked. Angel looked back at her.

"Oh, I'm definitely going to!" He smiled, lusciously.

"But, first tell me how it was with Smiles? And don't lie to me, I saw a couple of smiles coming out of you as you were dancing with him." He leaned in resting his elbows on the table.

"It's not like that, Angel." Anna answered. "It was just fun, that's all there is, nothing more."

"Bullshit!" Angel hissed. "I know love when I see it."

"I'm not in love with him," Anna answered, flatly.

"Oh really?" Angel pressed. He turned Anna's head. "Then why don't you look over there then?"

She saw Alastor dancing with Mimzy, next with Rosie then with Charlie as he shoved Vaggie out of the way. He spinned the princess around then dipped her as he rested his hand on Charlie's waist, pulling her closer to him. Vaggie glared daggers at him as he did. She looked like she wanted to kill him.

Anna began to feel her chest grow hot as she saw the two of them together. She didn't want to see anymore. She turned to the spider demon.

"How about a dance, Angel?"

"I don't usually dance with girls, it's not really my thing, doll face. Not unless they're paying, or course," the spider demon smirked, shrugging his hands.

"Great, let's go," Anna said, ignoring him, grabbing Angel's hand and pulled him on the floor.

As Alastor was dancing with Charlie, he saw Angel and Anna as the two came closer. He had a strained smile on his face watching the two dance together. Without thinking, Alastor accidentally dropped Charlie as he saw Anna place Angel's hands on her waist. Vaggie helped Charlie up as the antlers on the radio demon's began to grow, slowly.

Several demons quickly moved out of the way as Alastor began to advance towards Anna and Angel. As Angel twirled Anna around, Anna soon felt that the spider demon was no longer there. Alastor had ripped Angel away from Anna and tossed him across the floor, landing with a hard thud.

"Angel!" Anna called out to him. She tried to run over to him but Alastor grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"What...do..you...think..YOU...are...doing?" Anna heard a dangerous and angry growl coming from Alastor.

"I'm dancing with my friend," Anna cried as she tried to break out of his grip, but to no avail. "Now, let go! That hurts!"

There was definitely going to be a nasty bruise on her wrist tomorrow.

"Why are you dancing with him?!" Alastor shouted, furiously.

"What does it matter? I DON'T belong to you." Anna hissed. "I can do and dance with whomever I want! .Go!" She shouted.

Alastor laughed. "My dear, you claim to faithful to your "boyfriend", but, I can see now, that you've broken that vow."

Suddenly, Anna felt a hard slap on her butt. Her eyes widened in shock as she squeaked. A harsh slap was heard as several people gasped as everyone saw Anna slapped Alastor, knocking his monocle off as she did, as it fell to the floor. Mostly every demon cringed and tensed up waiting for the radio demon to burst into an uncontrollable rage of fury.

Alastor stood frozen in his place, stunned as he held his cheek. Anna turned around and walked away. Alastor growled and snapped his fingers. Some demons flinched waiting for something to happen, or some the to happen to them. But, nothing happened. Alastor had vanished, disappearing into his shadow, slipping away.

"Anna, Alastor, wait-" Charlie called out but Vaggie held her back.

"Let them go, hun," She said. "It's best to let them be for now."

Angel stood up brushing himself off. He looked around seeing everyone had gone silent.

"Man, this party sure died," the spider demon commented to himself. Then he looked over at Husk and smirked. "Oh Husky," the spider demon said flirtatiously batting his eyes, while gesturing with his finger for the cat demon to come over. "Wanna give daddy a good time?"


Anna walked outside closing the door behind her. She wiped her eyes as she began to walk away from Mimzy's. She couldn't stay there any longer, not with him, there.

Suddenly, her vision went dark as a sack was thrown over head. She felt someone grab her legs, lifting her up. Anna squirmed to get out of her captive's hold, kicking and punching as hard as she could. Then she felt a sharp sting on the back of her head. Her vision went completely dark as she was knocked unconscious.

after what seemed like hours, Anna's eyes began flutter open, squinting them, seeing that she still had the sack on her head. Suddenly, it was pulled off and a vibrant electric blue and violet light pierced her eyes. She groaned as she rubbed them. Anna felt leather underneath of her and it was moving as she felt it vibrate underneath. She was in a limo. Anna heard someone cackling with a sort of static sound as looked up to see a strange looking demon sitting across from her, looking like a TV.

"What's going on? Where am I?!" Anna demanded, looking around nervously. Vox made a strange grin as he leaned in closer to her.

"Hello, missy," He said, holding out his hand. "I've been dying to meet you." Anna stared at it, not shaking it, leaning back into her seat.

"W-Who are you?"

"I'm Vox," the tv demon introduced himself, pulling back his hand. He pulled out a cigar from his coat pocket and lit it. Vox inhaled it deeply and breathed out a pink smoke, making a heart, right into Anna's face. She nearly gagged from the smell and coughed. It was like burning ash. Vox laughed, as Anna waved the smoke away. He continued. "But, I'm sure Alastor's told you all about me."

"No, he hasn't." Anna said. She saw Vox frowned slightly before it quickly went away back into a twisted smirk.

"That's such a shame. He and I go way back. You could say we used to rivals when we we're alive, still are today." He said, blowing another puff of smoke.

"That's great and all. But, what ever you have against him, I don't care." Anna replied. "Now, I'd like to leave."

Vox flicked his stogie before setting down into the ashtray, putting it out. "That's too bad, because I could help you end your contract with Alastor." Anna's eyes widen in surprise.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Vox made an even more menacing grin as he leaned over, hands together. "I know that he forced you into a deal with him, otherwise why would he be around you all the time. What if I told you that I know how to break it,"

"How?!" Anna exclaimed. Vox held a hand up stopping her.

"I will tell you," He paused "For a small price." He hinted rubbing his fingers together. Anna began to feel more and more unease. She swallowed and spoke.

"And what do I have to do?"

"Get me Alastor's microphone." Vox pointed out.

"His microphone?" Anna questioned, confused, staring at the TV demon. What does that have to do with anything with her contract with Alastor? How is that going to help?

Vox nodded. "Yes, his microphone." he explained. "It is a living part of him. If anything happens to it, he will die. That is why he keeps it hidden at all time."

"But, I don't even know where he keeps it." Anna murmured. "Even if I did, it's not like he's going to let me near it."

Vox chuckled. "I'm sure you'll figure it out. Maybe, put a few moves on him," Anna blushed.

"There's no way I can do that," She stammered. "He's not into that sort of thing!"

"Sure, you can! Everybody saw you two on the big screens. You are the only one who can get under his skin like that. It shouldn't be a problem," Vox said. "So, do we have a deal?" he held his hand out again. Anna stared silently at it, pondering. Then she looked at him directly into his eyes.

"I'll do it. BUT, you have to promise not to hurt him." She pressed.

"I'm surprised to hear that. Hasn't he hurt you enough? Don't you want to see him suffer in humiliation as he did to you?" Vox taunted, making a smug smirk.

"I-I..." Anna stammered.

"So,...do we have a deal?" Vox leaned his hand towards her. Anna reached out and shook it.

"It's...a deal." A vibrant blue glow emitted from their hands as they did. Vox made a satisfied smirk.

"Good!" He said. The limo stopped right in front of a park. He gestured Anna out of the car as she climbed out closing the door. Vox poked his head out of the window. "Now, once you have his microphone, call me and I will come get you." He instructed.

"But, I don't have your number," Anna questioned. "How do I?-" Vox chuckled darkly, interrupting her.

"I already put it in your phone." Anna pulled out her hellphone to see that his number was already installed into her phone.

"Now, go and have fun. I'll be waiting," He smiled evilly, rolling the window. The limo sped off leaving Anna alone. Anna felt a sense of dread in her heart.
