Idea: A Demoness tries to possess a five-year-old girl. And quickly finds herself losing.

Taken from a Reddit Writing Prompt, which you can find here.

My post is there too, which you can find on that page under my username: "FearTheProxyHorde"

Enjoy!


''BETH AND SHELLY''

Technique, Astaroth said. It was all about technique.

WHY THE HOLY HELL DIDN'T I LISTEN?!?

How long has it been? Six minutes, and still all she's got is the Ren and Stimpy theme song up in her head? Lucifer Almighty, do parents just park their kids in front of the T.V. sets nowadays? I could parent these kids better, and I exist to create suffering for no defined god-damned reason! Literally, that's in the handbook: "Thou art to weave pain, and woe, and (And, well, it goes on for 666 pages after that) for some god-damned reason. This is the Devil's Creed, and we honor it for it is in our nature."

Ugh, when is this gonna turn off? O.K., wait it out, they taught you about this. People can be very patient, even children with their short attention spans.

Did she stop? Oh, sweet merciful Beelzebub. She stopped. Only twenty-five minutes after I parked in here. Antichrist, I'm gonna have that bongo-guitar song up in MY head forever........but no matter. Now, onto the possessin'! They trained me for this, I know what I'm doing!

O.K., so: "Shelly, I am Bethatastriel. The Demon Princess of the fifth layer of......

What?

Um, no. No, I don't have a Tiara.

What do you mean you can't be a Princess without a tiara? I'll have you know I was given that title on an infernal certificate and I.....what?

You only answer to Princess Shelly-Bells in your head? Really?

O.K., fine. Princess Shelly-Bells, I am Bethatastriel, and I AM a Goddamn Princess in the Fifth Realm of the Goddamn Underworld! And I am -

What's that?

I DON'T BLOODY WELL CARE IF DAMN'S A POTTY WORD I'LL SAY IT ALL I GODDAMN LIKE! GODDAMN, GODDAMN, GODDAMN! SILENCE! I could show you things your feeble mind could never hope STOP BLOWING RASPBERRIES AT ME! I AM ROYALTY OF THE UNSPEAKABLE VOID OF DARKNESS THAT COMSUMES ALL SOULS AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!

O.K.......O.K......keep it together Beth. I am NOT going to be thrown out of a five-year-old's mind by......

Oh, that's right, they have visual imaginations, these little ones. That's just great. What am I wearing now? Oh, here's that Tiara she was picturing. That pink, sparkly tiara. Great. Now, as INFERNAL PRINCESS OF THE FIFTH REALM OF THE ETERNAL VOID I HEREBY COMMAND OF YOU TO

Now, who is this you've conjured in front of me?

What?

Who the Hell is Ariel?

I will most certainly NOT play tea-party with you and this half-fish Spawn-of-Dagon Wannabe! I have connections to REAL Aquatic Abominations thank you very much, and I will NOT -

Oh, Jesus, there's more of them. Wait, wait, wait. This is Disney stuff. Gorgoroth was behind this. Lemme think, this was to market materialism to toddlers and children, make them obsessed with.......

Oh, this I remember. This is the "Narwhals Song." I remember the guys in the music department infesting it with catchiness, right between "Saints Go Marching In" and the Safety Dance.



Shit - I DON'T CARE IF SHIT'S A POTTY WORD I WILL FILL UP YOUR SHITTY LITTLE MIND WITH IT IF I WANT TO! Now, here we go: Do you want to be like these Princesses? Like Ariel and Jazzy from Aladdin and whatever the Hell else those cartoonists downstairs cook up? Well LISTEN HERE! You need to get a big, shiny knife, and.....

What do you mean they're too high up? Well knock them down! You can do that, can't you?

What's that?

You're already a Princess in your imagination, eh? That doesn't count. That -

Oh, dear God, the Barney Theme Song.

I'm gonna be so fired for this.

Holy Hell Below.

I think I'll look into becoming a Secretary. They'll never let me go Possessing again after this, they'll never......

How do I get out of here?

Oh, no. You're fucking kidding me.

Yeah, it's a Potty word, great kid. Real great.

You're gonna be hearing a lot of 'em for a long, long time.

(Bethatastriel sobs tears of blood, quietly and softly; as the Barney Theme plays and Princess Shelly-Bells dances awkwardly, unknowingly in triumph over one of the greatest evils know to all of the human race).
