Well would you look at that? This story is still up and kicking. Guess the curse ain't so real...

Anyways for this we have Bill getting caught by Manny.

If this story gets orphaned then the curse has claimed me.


Manny was not having a good day.

First he accidentally falls off his and Camila's bed after rolling over which earned him an unfortunate headache.

Of course he wouldn't let something like that ruin his day so he gave his still sleeping wife a kiss and then he went over to his daughter's room to do the same which only earned him a slap as it turned out his daughter was already awake and was only doing one of her hobbies which was meditating and must have been taken off guard. While his bebe didn't apologize he knows that she didn't mean to do it which was good enough for him.

So he went on over to make breakfast for his precious wife and daughter. He was planning to make pancakes which he accidentally burned when he got a call from his co worker from the fire station which went on for too long. Fortunately he made a new batch before anyone woke up.

After that he waited for his family to wake up but he can't help but notice that his headache still hasn't gone away. At first it was bearable but now it slowly starting to get unbearable.

When little Luz and his wife woke up he waited until breakfast was over before he told her.

Camila had suggested he go to the hospital to get it checked out and so he did.

The doctor did some tests but told him they will have the results by the end of the day after which he can come and get them.

For some reason Manny got a sense of foreboding after that visit.

Manny always prided himself on being happy go lucky and always be cheerful but there was something off about it. Like something bad will happen.

No matter!

He'll just have ice cream with Luz. He had noticed that his daughter has been grumpy lately so this was a chance for both of them to cheer up and have some father daughter bonding experience

"Hey Mija I was wondering if you would like some ice-" Manny began to say but the words died in his mouth at the sight before him. His daughter performing some sort of demonic ritual "Um...sweetie. What's going on here?"

Luz's room was covered in numerous strange symbols from the floor and up to the ceiling. In the center was his daughter standing in front of some...circle surrounded by candles.

It reminded him of those horror movies he and Camila would watch during date night.

Luz though looked like a deer in headlights having probably not expected him to enter her room.

"Uh...I'm playing...house?" Was her daughter's answer before she suddenly scrambled for a weird looking book and the last thing he saw before he involuntary lost consciousness was his daughter's eyes glowing a sickly green color


Bill Luz cursed out loud after knocking out the idiotic man that was the vile woman's husband.

"Maldito infierno you're not supposed to be home until this afternoon. My calculations made sure of it! So why the fuck are you here!?" She yelled at the unconscious man.

She had studied the idiot's schedule and daily activities that she was so sure he wouldn't be home until this afternoon. It was the reason she even did the summoning because she expected to not be disturbed.

She looked to the summoning circle and to her horror she just realized her attempt to call forth Asmodeus has been interrupted

"Wait no! Asmodeus come forth! I summon you! Obey!" She desperately tried to initiate the summoning again but try as she might she could not get the demon to appear. They had a very picky requirement in order to be summoned which just included a particular day and one can only make a summoning attempt ONCE every few years.

She had intended to get a grimoire that focuses on the manipulation of the mind which was a top priority in her list of magic to acquire.

And now she had missed her shot. All because of the idiot behind her.

Bill Luz had to resist the urge to kick him in the head.

Instead she took a deep breath...before grabbing a nearby lamp and throwing against the wall causing it to shatter on impact.

She brought her hands to her face and let out a frustrated scream before she finally managed to calm down enough to think rationally.

"Ok Bill. What to do? I could tie him up and ship him off to Australia where one of their giant spiders could hopefully silence him" Bill Luz briefly looked at Manny's unconscious form "Or I could come clean and hope he doesn't run his mouth to everyone"

She had of course considered other options like acting like nothing happened but the stupid man had seen her performing both a summoning and using a spell book. Plus she was just not in the mood to come up with an excuse only for the man to inevitably grill her for more information.

On second thought maybe she can do a more "permanent" solution.

You would love that wouldn't you?

You already killed us Bill. What's one more family member to add to that pile of bodies?

Bill Luz involuntary froze at that before she immediately shook her head "No...On second thought it would be too messy and the vile woman would be inconsolable if she finds out her husband died"

Come on. Why are you hesitating now?

"Shut up" Bill Luz growled out before facepalming "Oh great now I'm hearing stupid voices in my head"

She did not have the time or energy to be going insane less she wants to get sent to a therapist. Her lifespan as a human simply could not afford to waste time on that unless she finds a way to get eternal life.

With a sigh she once again turned to the unconscious idiot. Screw it. She might as well get it over with.

Bill Luz snaps her fingers and Manny almost instantly woke up.

"Mija? Wha-"

She didn't let him finish whatever he was about say though

"I'm a demon"
