Reverse Summoning

Alice finished drawing the magic circle, and began collecting the ingredients she needed to perform the ritual. Blood from a pregnant woman, for additional life essence, collected from a local hospital. Goat horn, for an anchor. And finally, a lock of her hair, to make sure the binding applied to her. She threw all the ingredients into the circle, and stepped away, all the while chanting Latinate words in a high, powerful voice. As she chanted she started feeling the ancient power of sorcery fill her. Reaching a crescendo in her chant, she released the built-up power inside her directly into the magic circle and cried “Hear my call and obey!”
Immediately, a kneeling form began to coalesce in the circle, eventually developing into a large, red-skinned man. His horns grew out of the sides of his head, which was covered in short dark hair. The demon was completely naked, and Alice could discern the fine scales that covered his entire body, each of them as shiny as a finely cut ruby.
“I am your master now, dragon-demon.” Alice said, her voice commanding and strong. As she said this, a black collar appeared on the demon’s neck.
“I think not.” The demon’s voice was deep, but had a cultured ring to it, almost as if he had been born into the upper crust of ancient English society.
Alice was about to reply, but there was suddenly an immense magical pressure from the demon. He was casting a spell! On her! A bound demon shouldn’t be able to cast spells until given leave by its master, and even then, it would not be able to target the one who summoned it to this plane of existence. The pressure surrounding Alice forced her to her knees, and a final burst of power and malice came from the demon, causing the collar to disappear from his neck, and reappear around Alice’s own neck. The magical pressure left her, but she found she still couldn’t move from her kneeling position.
“I am always surprised by the audacity of humans. Three times have I been summoned to this plane, and every time it has been by some foolish animal who believes that the pitiful magic in this realm can contain a demon. You’d think you’d learn from your history.”
Alice struggled to move, and when that didn’t work began attempting a non-verbal attack spell to distract the demon in order for her to escape.
