Chapter 2

Your POV

They are very close to my face, analyzing my appearance. I try to ignore them by watching the documentary. They sat next to me but their attention is still on me.

I don't want to show how upset and uncomfortable I am. I start to think about what attracted their attention to me, then an idea comes to me. "It's my scars, right?"

I turn to see them, they nod. "Tell us, how did you get them?"

"Cerberus, she just woke up. I don't think she wants to answer your questions" Said the man from earlier as he brought a tray of pancakes.

Cerberus... Wasn't it a three head dog? It could be that they have given to them that name as a nickname but... Their ears and tail seem so real... Maybe they really came out of hell and all of that isn't just cosplay...

The girls looked down and their ears are now drooping. I didn't dare to say anything more.

The man offers me a pancake, and I gladly grab one and put it in my mouth. It is quite good. They also had pancakes and began to eat them almost instantly.

Cerberus turn their heads towards me, they seem to realize that I was looking at them. They smiled at me and their ears were straight again. "We have an idea, we tell you everything we know about hell and how we got there and you tell us about your scars, okay?" They said excitedly. It seems that they are real demons... I nod without saying anything.

Luckily, they seem to know nothing and that gives me the advantage of being able to lie about anything I want. I know that at some point they will hear something about my past but in the meantime I am going to use this to my benefit, also in this house they do not know my name, and I am not planning on them knowing it, which makes it more difficult for them.

They started telling me all about hell and Helltaker's adventure in hell. "Hey, have you ever heard of Beelzebub?"

"Emm..." I think about what that big fly told me... I think I'm going to listen to it. "No, I've never heard it"

"Beelzebub is the most dangerous kind of demon and she was sealed forever in the Abyss after Justice defeated her" That's quite interesting. Suddenly someone appeared behind us.

"Are you talking about me?"

"Justice! We were just telling her about your fight with Beelzebub"

"Oh yeah. That fight was amazing. Well, I'm going to get some pancakes" She said and left without saying anything else.

"Now it's your turn"

"My story isn't that good, compared to yours it is quite boring"

"We don't care, we still want to know what happened to you"

Sigh. I guess there's no way to make them change their mind...

"I was with a group of friends at night, we decided to go to a bar after the work we had done. The neighborhood we were in had a reputation for being very dangerous. Everyone had at least one weapon, there were also drug dealers in every alley and even a mafia. Well, we enter the bar and after hours of drinking, things got violent and I was in the middle. You can imagine the rest"

I direct my gaze towards Cerberus, they have a fascinated expression on their faces, they seem to like my story.

"Who was the one that started that whole fight?"

I can't tell them it was me... "It was just a random guy..."

I keep eating my pancake. And now that I think about it, why has this man let me stay at his house? And more importantly, why does he treat me like he knows me, like I'm a close friend? I mean... He found me unconscious on the sidewalk, took me to his house and also he gave me breakfast.

And when I realized, I had already finished the pancake. I scramble to get up from the couch and start to walk towards the exit but before I could get out Helltaker stops me. "Where are you going?"

"I was leaving, I can't stay at your house"

"Do you have somewhere to stay?"

"...No..."

"Then stay with us, at least until your wound is fully healed. I give you a place to sleep and food. So... What do you say?"

"..."
