Chicken soup

One shot

The demon stod in the middle of Maeve's destroyed kitchen, screaming at her, "How? How were you able to summon me?!". Maeve stood in a corner flipping through her grandma's cookbook as fast as she could, "I don't know!! You were supposed to be chicken soup!".

Maeve looked up from the book, the demon stod, looking panicked while looking around the now ruined kitchen. "Calm down, you're a demon right?!" The demon looked over at her, "Yes of course I am!" He screamed back.

"Okay calm down I know how to fix this!" Maeve said in a harsh tone, way harsher than she intended but when what was supposed to be chicken soup turned into a freaking demon she was definitely caught by surprise.

"How?! You don't even know how you got me here!"

"I just need to get Pandora, she will know!" At this point the conversation was a screaming battle.

"Who is Pandora?! Is she your Leader?!"

"No- or well- No.It's no, she's not my leader, but she knows what to do with you!"

Before the demon had a chance to talk, Maeve was already halfway through the apartment. "Stay there!" she shouted.

Maeve opened the door into her bedroom where Pandora was laying, peacefully asleep in the bed the two of them shared. She closed the door behind her then quietly walked over to the bed.

"Pandora", she said in a low tone. She reached out and shaked Pandora lightly, "I need you love, please wake up". Realizing that her lover wasn't going to wake up anytime soon she decided to use the only way to get her up.

She walked over and grabbed the tiny item. It looked like a dog whistle but was apparently made for demons. She was told to only use it in emergencies. This could be counted as an emergency, right?

When Pandora was in her deep state of sleep nothing except the whistle could wake her up and Maeve knew that. Stepping back, not knowing how Pandora would react since Maeve has never had to use the whistle before. She put it up to her mouth and blew.

Pandora flew up, looking panicked as ever. Maeve felt bad, Pandora looked just like Maeve did during her horrible nightmares.

"Pandora calm down. I'm here!" By the time those words had left Maeve's mouth Pandora was already standing on the floor and had changed to her demon form. The clothes she was previously wearing while sleeping were now laying teared on the floor. It wasn't easy going from 5'7 (172) to 6'3 (190) along with all her other demon features. She sure as hell wasn't made to fit Maeve's small one bedroom apartment. Instead of those, she was wearing her gorgeous outfit she always had as a demon. Her big wings were taking up more than half of the room. Her horns had gone through the roof. Fuck, Maeve swore under her breath, that was gonna be expensive to fix.

 Pandora had raised her hand, whip in hand, ready to strike whatever danger was here. 

"Pandora stop, look at me!" Maeve carefully walked over to Pandora, knowing that Pandora had just come out of her deep sleeping state, her mind was still foggy and her eyes were still adjusting. 

 "What's happening?! Who is hurting you!?!" Pandora was looking around, making the hole in the roof even bigger.

 Maeve ran up, just holding Pandora tight, not wanting her to fuck up the roof even more.

 "Pandora please, no one is hurting me, please go back to your human form".

"What?" Pandora looked confused, her white eyes looking down at Maeve hugging her tight.

 Maeve let go of Pandora and took a step back. "Please love, go back to your human form, I need your help". Pandora was confused but nodded and began turning back.

 Maeve walked over and grabbed one of her shirts so that Pandora didn't have to stand butt naked. The only flaw with human clothes, they didn't reshape as Pandora changed form. As soon as Pandora was back to her human form Maeve put the t-shirt over Pandora's head and then completely on her. Maeve liked to wear slightly oversized clothes so the fact that Pandora was slightly smaller than Maeve made the shirt go and stopped slightly below her butt. 

"What happened?" Pandora asked, confused.

 Before Maeve said anything she handed Pandora a pair of underwear and pajama shorts. 

"Here get dressed."

"What- Why?" 

"Cause someone is here."

 "What who?" 

After Pandora got dressed Maeve explained everything.

 "So he's out there right now?" Pandora asked.

"Yes, exactly, could you go out and talk to him?" 

Pandora nodded. She opened the bedroom door and then began walking to the kitchen. Maeve right behind her. She could tell a demon had been here but at the moment there was no sight of him.

 Pandora looked around the room. All of a sudden they heard something hit the floor in another room. Pandora and Maeve looked at each other. "Bathroom?", Maeve noded. It was definitely something from the bathroom.

 They ran to the bathroom and sure as hell, there he was. 

"What the fuck are you doing?!" The demon was standing with the laundry basket on his head.

 Clothes everywhere."Get me out of here!" The demon hissed, sounding panicked. It looked like the basket had gotten stuck on his horns and his wings didn't help. They were knocking stuff over and just being generally in the way. 

"эй, успокойся! (hey calm down!)" Pandora shouted. The demon immediately turned his head towards her.

 "кто ты? (who are you?)", the demon asked. Pandora went over and removed the clothing basket from his head. 

"Я Пандора, как тебя зовут? (I'm Pandora, what's your name?)". 

"Цербер (Cerberus)", was all he replied. 

"Сколько тебе лет, малыш? (How old are you, kid?" She asked, obviously he was young. 

"Мне 1105 лет (I'm 1105 years old)".

Pandora turned her head slightly back to Maeve, "That's around thirteen in human years I'm guessing". She turned back to him.

 "Do you know what you are doing here?" Pandora asked the young man standing in front of her.

 "Yeah cause that crazy bitch summoned me!" He raised his voice, pointing to Maeve standing a bit behind Pandora. 

Pandora pushed him back so he slammed against the bathroom wall and then fell down, now sitting on the bathroom floor against the wall. She walked over and bent down. "You do not get to call her that, everyone makes mistakes", she said in a harsh tone, almost growling.

 Maeve could see how the young man almost started crying.

 "I'm sorry, okay?! I just want to go home", he cried out. 

"Stop crying, I can send you home but you need to swear on your life that you don't tell anyone else you have been here, got it?" The boy nodded.

 Pandora held out her hand, the boy took it and she helped him up. "Stand still or you might lose a limb". Her eyes turned white and just like that he was gone. Pandora fell back but her lover caught her just in time. 

"Are you okay my love?", Maeve asked, now sitting on the bathroom floor, holding her lover.

 Pandora nodded. "Yes, I'm okay, I'm just very exhausted at the moment". Hey eyelids were fighting to stay open. 

Maeve kissed Pandora on the forehead. "No worries dear, you can sleep now". With that, Pandora's eyelids fell closed and she was now peacefully asleep in her lover's arm on the bathroom floor.

Maeve carefully got up and placed one hand under Pandora's knees and the other on her lower back. Carefully picking her up, she carried her back to the bedroom the two of them shared. She gently put her down on the bed and then put on the quilt so her lover wouldn't freeze. When she was finally done she walked up right besides Pandora and bent down, kissing her forehead. "Thank you love, I'm glad you're always there when I need you and I love you so much". With that she stood up and then walked out of the bedroom, gently closing the door after her.

She walked to the kitchen and it was then she remembered what had actually happened.

"Oh fuck".
