“I’m from Hell, chicky, what do yer think most of us look like?”
“Yeah, I am so not going there,” I said, making him smirk.
“Then be a good girly and keep me with yer.”
“Okay, listen, first off, it’s YOU, not yer, and second of all, no way! I can’t risk anyone seeing you!”
“Oh well, if that’s what YOU be worried about…” he paused before jumping from the counter and landing with a little roll, then pouncing up and strutting to the door.
“No, wait!”I hissed in a panicked tone, but I was too late as he was strolling through the door and right up to Tara, where he paused and looked her up and down.
“Hmm, fuckable.”
I nearly choked, then snapped,
“You can’t say that!” To which Tara looked at me as if I had lost my damn mind, which at this point, it was more than likely, as well, the jury was still out on that one.
“I didn’t even say anything!” she exclaimed back, and I shook my head and sighed in relief, as it seemed as if the goblin was right, he was invisible to everyone else.
“No, I know, I’m sorry, I was saying that to myself… you know… erm, psyching myself up type thing.”
“Erh… yeah… sure,” Tara replied suspiciously.
“Smooth,” the goblin said, smirking, making me scowl down at him and swallow my insult.
Then Tara’s head appeared next to mine as she asked,
“Are we looking at something?”
I straightened and said,
“Yes, sorry, there was just this gross, pervy little spider.”
“Pervy… erm, not sure a spider knows how to be pervy, Eliza,” Tara said, laughing.
“Look, can you do me a favor and just ignore my weirdness today and pretend when you see me acting bat shit crazy that I’m just drunk or something.”
She laughed and asked, “Oh shit, are you drunk? Is that what took you so long…? Wait, why didn’t you change?”
I looked back down at the goblin man and said sarcastically,
“Something irritatingly unexpected distracted me.”
This made him grunt a huff and fold his little arms.
“Well, you don’t have time now, as they are close to leaving, so you’d better get your ass in there!” Tara warned, pushingme toward the meeting room. One that, unfortunately, I was followed into.
Which meant that as soon as Tara left to go back to her own desk, I ended up walking into the meeting room, trying to close the door on the little demon that was trying to fight his way in. I ended up kicking my leg out of the gap before turning around and leaning my back against the door, after first slamming it and making everyone jump around the table.
Well, if I had wanted to make an entrance, then that would sure do it. However, it turned out that I wasn’t the only one to make an unexpected entrance…
Because my new Demon did too.

“Miss Shadowmere!” My boss said my name in reprimand, making me laugh nervously before saying,
