Chapter 12- Roses for Daisy
"Where... Where am I? Where's Master? I remember him crying and..." the newly made demon awoke and felt extremely vulnerable. Naturally, this scared her, so she glanced around, her ears twitching as she looked around.
"I feel taller..." she noted, eyes finally adjusting to the bright lights around her. The sky was a bright blue, just like she remembered. Remembering felt weird to her, being able to actively call on memories and picture them as if they happened moments ago. The memory of a younger Y/N flashed in her head.
"I want this one." He smiled down at her, slowly reaching his hand into the cage. Instead of sprinting across the cage in fear, she instead hopped closer, sniffing the hand of the towering being before her. He was so kind and he chose her of all the litter, the runt.
"Are you sure? She's the most difficult." A sense of fear washed over her. If he didn't pick her, she would never leave.
"Yes, I want her. I'll name her Daisy."
"My finest work yet. I do hope he enjoys her," an unfamiliar voice said, drawing the rabbit/demon girl's attention.
"I hate to cut introductions short, but we need your help. Our beloved is on a rampage and I'm afraid we just won't be enough to bring him back to his senses. Which is where you come in," Lucifer explained. It felt like more of an order. Pointing at the one she called her 'beloved', Daisy followed her finger and immediately recognized the person. Someone she herself was rather fond of. In a flash, she was tackling him to the ground.
"MASTER! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!" she yelled, hugging tightly to the man that towered over her. Although she was indeed much taller than her original body, it didn't mean much as she was just barely four feet and three inches tall. He looked down at her and at first, she was afraid he didn't recognize her until she noticed his eyes watering.
"Dai...sy?" he asked quietly, arms slowly reaching up to grab her face. She nodded and smiled, tears forming in her own eyes.
"Yes! Yes, it's me! I-I know I look different but-" she began, only quieting down when he stood them up and hugged her.
"I... you're back! How? I had to-" Y/N sobbed, cutting himself off before he really began crying.
"Lady Lucifer used magic! You were lost and they wanted me to bring you back," she said, rubbing her face into his chest. She could tell he was upset by some part of that and so she tried to reassure him.
"But she asked me first! And I don't obey her either!" This little bit caused Lucifer to spit out her wine. Where did she get it from? Nobody knows.
"WHAT?!"
"I know! I can become your familiar to prove it!" Daisy proclaimed. Her exuberant attitude seemed to cheer the human up, so he nodded.
"Fine. Later. I... need to shower and eat, maybe get some therapy for what just happened," Y/N joked. Daisy laughed too, sighing as she pulled away slightly.
"I'm just glad to be back."
It took about an hour to get back. Between talking to the cops and the call to his employer, the walk back was much more tiring than originally expected.
"Alright BJ, I'm taking a shower! If you wanna know, ask the others!" Y/N yelled before disappearing down a hall. But Daisy was distracted by the house. It was familiar, and yet so terribly different at the same time. The number of other demons was surprising, yet she was happy he hadn't lost anyone else after she got sick. Even better was that she got to come back.
"I can't believe this. I'm supposed to be the goddamn Queen of Hell, why does nobody ever listen to me?" Lucifer muttered to herself.
"Well, he is my Master first and foremost. I wouldn't expect you to understand how I feel about him," Daisy said, trying to sound reassuring.
"Oh-ho! Someone's developed a unique personality!" Lucifer said, grinning.
"I wonder what has changed and what has stayed the same. Though you do seem to have a better connection than any of us do. Azazel might be the only one who could rival you with how close she is to him."
"She what?" Daisy asked as the seemingly innocent demon suddenly had a very murderous aura to her.
"And Judgement has been calling him Master behind his back as well," Lucifer giggled. Daisy seemed to smile at the news.
"I suppose this is all fine. After all, a man like Master is bound to attract all sorts of women!" she hummed, still smiling. Cerberus and Daisy ended up making eye contact and both seemed to get ready for something.
"Cerberus, this is Daisy. Play nice or you'll be sat on the punishment couch again," Lucifer warned, glaring down at the triplet demon. It didn't take long for Y/N to come back again and Daisy was by his side in an instant.
"Heh, still as needy as ever huh?" he teased, the rabbit demon going beet red.
"W-Well... if you want me to stop..." she trailed off, looking away with embarrassment.
"Hah! No, I don't want you to change." The human began petting Daisy, smiling in delight.
"Thank you, Master!"
