"I will bring you back unnie. I promise, and we will take revenge on them," Lisa said as she looks at the mirror blankly.
"I will bring you back in this world--
even if it means that I have to make a deal to a demon, I'll do it. Just to have you back unnie."
A week after Lisa said those words, she came into a village where a said shaman lives.
A lot of people thinks that the shaman was just a crazy old lady, but Lisa is desperate to bring her sister back that's why she chose to come to the shaman and ask for her help.
...
"Tell me, what should I do to bring my sister back?" Lisa asked the shaman desperately.
"You'll need to do the ritual that I will give to you. Once the ritual is done, you'll have to talk to the spirit that the ritual will bring. After the ritual, you'll have your sister back." the shaman stated, earning a nod from the latter.
"But beware, once your sister is back, there's no turning back and also, your sister might not act the same anymore because she will be brought back by a demon, that only means that her spirit is already owned by a demon and all that she will feel is revenge and rage." the shaman warned Lisa, but Lisa didn't payed much attention to it. All she needs is her sister back.
At exactly 9 in the evening, the ritual started.
The shaman keeps on repeating her mantra while Lisa was inside a circle made up of salt.
After a couple more mantras, the spirit or should I say demon, comes out of the circle.
"What could I help you with little human?" the demon asked. Lisa gulped first, for she can't believe on what she's seeing right now. A scary and almost disfigured man with sharp teeth. Eyes as piercing as daggers.
"I want my dead sister back," Lisa said with full of determination.
"I'll bring your sister back but there are conditions that you have to follow. First is, you'll be given an eternal life, but you will serve your whole life to your sister. Do you accept that?" the demon asked earning a nod from Lisa. She is really determined to bring her sister back.
"And when I say you'll serve your life to your sister, it means you'll have to give her needs. She will be staying in your mansion forever and you'll be able to see and talk to her, but, she needs to eat too, and her food are spirits. Since her death was cost by a group of friends, the spirits that she needs to eat are the spirits of a group of friends. Do you accept that?" the demon stated, making Lisa gulp. She hesitantly nodded her head.
