''Is... is someone there?''

Shortly after she had had some horrible dream about a horde of Voidspawn marching at the command of some horrifying creature, Claire heard a very vague voice inside her head.

''Urgh... ''groaned the voice. ''Just what is this place? He-hello? Hello? Good, you are awake! Do I have your attention?''

Claire didn't know what to answer. She recognised the voice as Carmilla's, meaning that she hadn't been rid off her, but something had changed. The demon didn't... seem to remember...

''Well, lookie here! ''chirped Carmilla. ''If it isn't one of those little pink-faced monkeys with a short lifespan? Well, monkey! You can call me Carmilla, the proprietor of this empty space you call... conscience?''

The demon seemed to have worsened in attitude, to say the least. Claire slowly sat up. Her head was spinning and hurting as if a Voidspawn had crammed itself into it. Though she guessed that the majority of it was because of Carmilla's presence.

''So much... stuff in here! ''growled the demon. ''What a mess! Did you know that you have an entire section in here solemnly for book titles? You have the entire volume series of The Life of Alessia in here! Wait a moment... The Naked Knight? The Virgin and the Orc? You... you naughty girl, ''shrugged the demon. ''You read that last one thirteen times at least! Did you wear the book out when you took care of business, or what?''

Claire was burning red in her face. "Not any of your business, demon", she growled quietly so that the others wouldn't hear that she had woken up.

''Oh, the monkey can speak as well? Got any other tricks? Eh? Monkey?''

Claire straightened herself. ''My name is Claire, demon. And these people surronding me are Sentinels.''

So?

They are mages, she lied. She saw an opportunity in starting over with Carmilla. Whatever had happened during the process it seemed to have reverted the demon's memories and life experience, causing it to start all over. This was now her time to take control. And if you call me monkey one more time, I will have them exorcise you from me!

The demon made a whining sound, halfway to a growl. ''Fine... Monkey... Claire... Whatever!''

You will follow my commands now, understand?

The demon hesitated.

Or else I can just throw myself out of a cliff and take you with me?

''Alright! Alright! ''sighed the demon. ''Since it appears that I am stuck here with you, monkey. Claire! At least let me make this mess of a head a little more comfortable for me... and a little more... spacey...''

Claire felt a burning sting inside her head, but only for a short moment. Afterwards she actually felt fine and refreshed, as if she was an entirely new person.

''There! ''said the demon. ''I did a little spring cleaning and sorted through your mess. Could have happened that I lost one or another memory in the process, but you didn't really need to remember that time you masturbated in an alleyway in Riften, right?''

I did what?!

''Excellent! ''said the demon triumphantly.
