3 My Demonic Pet

Liam landed safely on the ground. His house was just in front of him.

It was when Liam remembered something really important.

"Oh, sh*t!"

And that's also when Azrael remembered something really important.

"Oh, sh*t!"

"The f*cking groceries!" Liam knelt on the ground crying.

"Sisyphus' f*cking weapon! I forgot to take it!" Azrael similarly knelt in the ground grieving.

"Hey, can you also make something appear in thin air?" Liam suddenly stood up and grin. He rubbed his hands hoping for a positive response. But what Azrael said next broke his fragile heart to pieces.

"You're talking about your groceries, right? Unfortunately, I can't make something edible appear in thin air. But we can teleport to where you bought those." Azrael explained

"Edible? That can vary from person to person." Liam looked at him suspiciously.

"Edible in a normal human standards." Azrael rolled his eyes.

"Oh by the way, can we return back to the alternate reality? I forgot to take something really important." The demon added.

'Teleport?' Liam looked at his watch and happily exclaimed. "Lucky! It's still 7:26. The supermarket will close exactly at 8. We still have time. Azrael, let's go!"

"Understood." Azrael walked forward and touched Liam's head.

"What the f*ck. Are you gay?" Liam shoved Azrael's hand and backed away. He was still a little wary. After all, this demon was insanely powerful. He was affected because of it subconsciously.

"You little sh*t! Imagine where the supermarket is so we can teleport. I can't just teleport to a place I have never been before!" Azrael gritted his teeth.

"Oh, makes sense. I thought for a second that my cute little slave was gay."

'Oh, how I wish I could tear you into pieces!' Azrael clenched his fist and controlled his rage. After a second he touched Liam's head once more.

Liam envisioned the supermarket while Azrael chanted some weird and ancient words.

"Gung en sung dung"

Suddenly the two appeared in front of the supermarket. There were a few people and luckily no one noticed Liam.

That's because Liam's invisibility spell was still active.

They both entered the market and went to the bathroom first. They checked their surroundings before Azrael undo the spell. They exit the bathroom as if it was normal and nothing was wrong.

Azrael has been on Earth for a hundred years now. That's because of his mission to steal Sisyphus' holy weapon and kill him if there's a chance. But now that he forgot to take it, he needed to return to that exact reality to retrieve it.

He didn't need to rush. Only a few angels and demons roam Earth. Most of them were either in heaven or in hell. And it's impossible for an angel or demon to go to the exact spot where the battle begun and accidentally pick up the fragments of Sisyphus' weapon.

Liam tapped his pockets and once more couldn't help but curse out loud.

"For Pete's sake!"

Azrael who was silently floating in his side was startled.

"What's wrong, boy?"

"My wallet. Geez, I have some important things there." He scratched his head. Then he looked at Azrael with his puppy eyes and held his arms.

"Can you do your magic thingy and bring back my wallet. You said earlier that you can make things appear as long as they're not edible, right?"

Just as Liam finished talking, a little boy suddenly laughed.

"Mother, look at that big bro. He's talking to himself. Isn't he an idiot?" The boy laughed.

The mother gripped her son's hand and walked away while whispering, "Don't talk badly to somebody else. But your right, he might have some problems with his head."

In which Liam heard them clear as day.

"Hey, can you make them 'accidentally' trip?"

"No. " Azrael immediately denied.

"That's great. I order you to make them tripped. Also, make sure that the boy's lollipop will crumble to pieces." Liam blankly said.

Azrael couldn't help but laugh at Liam's action.

"Humans are really petty."

Liam got pissed off by that comment and stomped his foot.

"Just do it, will you?" He sarcastically said.

Azrael finally snapped his fingers and the mother and son tripped.

Liam laughed. He made sure that the two can hear his laugh.

The little boy started crying and the mother looked in Liam's direction and glared. After that, she comforted her son and went on their way.

"Also I forgot. Can you make yourself just visible for people to see? I look like an idiot talking to myself." Liam suddenly spoke.

"..."

Azrael hesitated.

"You can use somebody's face. Doesn't matter as long as your here on my side."

"..."

Azrael was still hesitant.

"Or you can just turn into a puppy with a leash." Liam smiled.

"As you wish, boy. I'll make myself visible." Azrael sincerely replied.

They both went to the bathroom once more and Azrael morphed into a human. His wings and horn disappeared. His previous bloodied clothes turn into a well-tailored shirt. His previous purplish skin turned white. From a demon, he became a handsome human.

"Hmmm." Liam looked at Azrael and rubbed his chin.

"Too flashy. Can you just make yourself into an ugly fat man? You're too eye-catching."

Azrael frowned.

"Fine fine. If that's what you like." Liam couldn't afford to abuse this demon too much. He might just really commit suicide right on the spot.

"Oh before I forgot. My wallet, can you make it appear?"

Azrael thought about it. Since this child didn't force him to look like an ugly bastard, he accepted.

"Just like earlier. Picture your wallet in your mind." Azrael reminded and touched Liam's head.

Liam imagined his wallet and its content. 'So I have a black leather wallet. My credit card, coupons, business cards, and 200 dollars. No I mean, 2,000 dollars.'

Azrael chanted once more.

"Nam da si ta na"

Suddenly, a similar wallet that Liam has appeared. The only difference was that this wallet was bulging.

"It worked! Just like what I imagine. Easy 2,000 dollars" Liam proudly laughed.

Now that he has money, he began shopping once more. But he picked up more products than usual. He bought more food for himself and other beverages. And since the money he currently has was big, he didn't hold back and purchased expensive wine and beer.

Normally, the cashier will check his ID. But with Azrael beside him who looked like an adult, the cashier didn't probe too much.

Finally, they entered the bathroom once more. They both carried a lot of grocery bags. Liam couldn't endure anymore and drop these baggage.

"Azrael, teleport all of these to our house. And about that thing you forgot, could you just get it for yourself and return as fast as possible?"

"Sure thing. Bringing you would be a hassle."

Azrael was finally relieved.

They teleported just like last time and appeared in front of Liam's house.

"Goodbye. Be back as fast as possible, ok? I still have some wishes you need to fulfill." Liam snickered.

Azrael grumbly turn back into his real form and flapped his ink-black wings.

While Liam carried all the stuff back into the house.

"Dang! I should have let Azrael help me here first before I let him go. How I regretted that." Liam teared up.

He rang the doorbell and loudly shouted.

"I'm already here mom!"

The door opened and a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared in front of Liam.

"Where have you been mister? It's already 8 pm." Liam's mom stared daggers at him.

Liam sweated and quickly came up with a lie.

"We had arnis training and my body hurts ma." Liam acted like he was really tired and even yawned to show that he was sleepy.

"Plus you even made me carry these bags. I'm exhausted now." He exaggerated more.

But it worked. His mom felt guilty and helped him pick up all the bags. She already prepared dinner and the two ate silently.

Liam finished his food quickly and went upstairs. He locked the door and jumped in bed.

"So exhausting..."

Liam didn't entirely lie though. He was really tired mentally. All those things he experienced were too much for a 17-year-old boy.

"I wanted to experiment more with my wishing machine but I'm so sleepy. I'll guess we'll just continue tomorrow. Hopes he's already here when I woke up."

He slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep.
