Belamania: Summoned

"Good work today, Vlad," Arthur said. "I'm heading off. Don't stay too late."

Vlad gave a small smile and nodded at his mentor. Arthur returned the smile before he left. Vlad sighed, placing the mop on the floor. As the apprentice, he was meant to clean up, but it was always an excuse.

He used the time when he was supposed to be cleaning to do some extra studying. He disagreed with Arthur's pace. Arthur thought it wise to keep him at a snail's pace, but Vlad knew that he was ready to take on more.

So far, Vlad had been able to summon a few smaller creatures – like fairies and goblins – but he felt ready to try something more challenging.

He was going to try to summon a demon.

He searched through Arthur's spell book, looking for the right one. When he found it, he took a deep breath to clear his mind. Then he grabbed a piece of chalk.

He looked to the book several times, making sure that the circle was drawn correctly. He knew the dangers with his actions, and he didn't want to make a mistake. A mistake could cost him his life.

He also made sure to add the part of the circle that dictated that the demon would be bound to him. That it was his servant. It was the best way to ensure his safety.

"Alright," Vlad muttered, sitting beside the circle.

He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths to clear his mind once again, and started to chant. He didn't open his eyes for anything, needing to complete the chant. If the chant was stopped prematurely, he would either fail or he would be in grave danger. He didn't stop when he felt something tug at his consciousness. He didn't stop when he thought he heard something – voices screaming. He continued on, trying to keep as focused as possible.

When he spoke the last words he remained in that position for a while. He took a deep breath before opening his eyes.

Standing in the middle of the circle, arms crossed and scowling, was a woman with silvery hair and piercing blue eyes. Vlad's eyes widened and he blushed, before thinking that he had messed up the spell.

"A-are you a demon?" he asked.

The woman arched an eyebrow at the question.

"Are you an idiot?" she rebutted, making Vlad flinch. "Yes, I'm a demon. I take it that this is the first time you summon one."

"Y-yeah," he said, blush growing on his face. He then grinned widely. "But I managed. Didn't I?"

The woman rolled her eyes and sighed in annoyance.

"Yes," she said. "You are my master, and I your servant. What do you wish?"

Vlad jumped up happily, ignoring the other's tone. This was a great milestone for him, and he didn't care how he came across.

"This is great," he said. "Wait here a moment."

Vlad quickly went to a cabinet where he knew Arthur kept the bottles of alcohol. He searched for a bottle of wine, and smiled when he saw one. He then went to get the two goblets, all the while the demon was watching him with an intrigued or perhaps disturbed expression.

"Here," he said, giving her a goblet filled with wine.

She stared at him for a moment before taking the goblet.

"And what is this for?" she asked.

"The first demon I summoned…" Vlad said. "It's cause for celebration, don't you think?"

The demon rolled her eyes.

"How did you ever manage to pass your apprenticeship?" she asked.

Vlad scratched his cheek sheepishly.

"I'm actually still busy with it," he admitted.

The demon's eyes widened, before she looked around.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet," Vlad said. "My name's Vlad. What's yours?"

She stared at him for a moment.

"Natalia," she said.

Vlad smiled, before he held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Natalia," he said. "I hope we'll be able to work well together."

She stared at the hand for a moment before taking it, a smirk on her face.

…

Vlad had been continuing with his apprenticeship, calling Natalia to him whenever he had cleaning to do. He had her clean while he studied, and he managed to make some progress with his studies. And Arthur had noticed it, and was pleased with how talented his apprentice was.

One night, however, just as Vlad had started the summoning ritual, Arthur returned.

"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?!" Arthur shouted.

Vlad jumped in shock, and he turned to stare at his mentor with wide eyes.

"M-master," Vlad stuttered. "W-what are y-you d-doing h-here?"

"More importantly," Arthur said, "what do you think you're doing? You've been going behind my back, haven't you?"

"W-well…"

"And what exactly have you been summoning?"

"Um…"

Vlad's eyes widened when he felt something dark and menacing behind him. It felt different from the other times when he had summoned Natalia. This time it felt as though there was something ready to kill him.

Arthur must have felt it too, for his eyes were just as wide as Vlad's and he was looking behind Vlad. The apprentice swallowed nervously, before turning around to see what the damage was.

It was Natalia – a horrible, grotesque version of her, with blackish skin and red eyes, horns growing out of her head and wings on her back. But that was nothing compared to the sharp-looking claws and scorpion-like tail.

Vlad looked down, and he paled when he saw that he was standing on the circle, the chalk having been wiped away by his shoe. And the fact that he hadn't completed the chant…

"What have you done?" Arthur whispered.

Natalia grinned – cold and cruel – and before Vlad could even attempt to reverse what he had done she lunged forward, grabbing a hold of him. There was a sound of thunder as Vlad screamed in pain, and in the next instant he was thrown to the side, grunting in pain.

He looked up with blurry eyes, seeing Natalia looking as she normally did, but there was a cold smirk on her face.

"And now," she said, "it's time to repay you for enslaving me."

…

Arthur stared at the place where Vlad had disappeared with a look of horror on his face. His student had been kidnapped by the demon, and there was no telling what she would do to him.

No, actually, there was… But until that happened, there was no telling what the demon would do to him.

"Bloody idiot," Arthur muttered, already searching through his books. He found a minor spell and quickly lit a candle while muttering the chant. This candle was now connected to Vlad, and as long as the flame burned, Arthur knew that his apprentice was still alive.

Now he would need to get his apprentice back.

At least he knew that the demon – and thus Vlad – was still in the mortal realm. He just needed to make sure that that didn't change.

…

Vlad swallowed nervously, staring at the ground below. It would seem that Natalia had brought him to an old tower, and the only exit was the window, but there was no way that Vlad could exit that without getting killed.

Although, if what he had read was anything to go by, he would get killed anyway.

He glanced towards Natalia, who was pacing thoughtfully, trying to think of what she would do to Vlad. Vlad shuddered, regretting his choice to study independently. He should have listened to Arthur. He wasn't ready for this.

Natalia looked up at him, a stormy look in her eyes, and Vlad shrank back a little.

"W-what are you going to do to me?" he asked.

Natalia came to a stop, before stalking closer to him. Vlad tried to inch away, but there was only so far he could go. He felt himself shrinking under Natalia's glare.

"I should kill you," she said. "Rip you to shreds. Skin you alive. Feast on your organs."

Vlad started to tremble, staring at her wide-eyed. She sighed.

"However," she said, "the thought of doing that to you just doesn't sit well with me."

Vlad's trembling subsided a little, and he stared at her wide-eyed.

"You're not the first human to summon me," Natalia said. "Not the first to enslave me. But… unlike all the others, you actually treated me well. You didn't treat me as a mere slave."

Vlad swallowed and looked down.

"I-I'm s-sorry for enslaving you in the f-first place," he said. "I… I was so caught up in being a better summoner. But… If you told me that you hated it… I would have set you free."

She stared at him before smiling softly.

"You're not like any other human I've ever met before," she said. "And I like that about you."

The prompt is: 'Imagine person A as a summoner in training. They study on their own behind their master's back and manage to summon a powerful demon - person B - to serve them. One day they make a mistake and B breaks free. B captures A and imprisons them in an abandoned tower far away as a revenge for being enslaved. However because A treated them good unlike any other summoner, B can't bring themselves to hurt A. They manage to make an agreement and start to live and work together, gradually becoming friends (or more).'

I wanted to have this being NorBela originally, but the way I wrote Lukas wasn't in character, but suited Romania more. Both NorBela and Belamania had been requested, so I just made the switch.
