The two were eating in a diner. Lorraine's stomach lurched. And churned.
Ed noticed. "You ok, honey? You look pale..."
She rushed to the bathroom and threw up violently. And passed out.
She woke up a while later. She checked her watch.
"Ugh. How long have I been out?"
Then she heard a female's voice.
"An Hour or two."
The voice cackled.
She stood up, terrified. "Who...who was that?"
She turned around. Nobody was there.
Then she saw her reflection.
It looked like her...but not her. She had small horns on her forehead, claws, and a long demon tail. But her eyes were the most off. They were blazing red. And a sinister smile was on her face.
"Nice to meet you. Call me Lilith."
She had never been more terrified in her life.
She tried to scream, but no sound came out.
"Tsk tsk. Not today."
This has to be a dream. I'm going crazy.
Lilith chomped on an apple in the mirror. "Seriously? All the shit you've seen and you doubt ME?!" She laughed maliciously.
Then Lorraine saw she herself was holding an apple. Then she saw her own hand.
CLAWS.
Nononononononononononononono
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I had to bend the rules a little. But then again, when it comes to looking good, I can't help myself."
Lorraine whispered, "I am a freak of nature."
Lilith laughed. "Oh, please. You're no more of a freak than your husband. Who, by the way, I do plan on killing."
Lorraine stood up. "I won't let you hurt Ed."
Lilith cackled. "We'll see if he accepts you, first."
Then Ed knocked on the door.
"Lorraine. Are you in there? Are you all right?"
Lilith giggled. "Ooh, save me Ed, you're my only hope!!! HAHAHAHAAHAA!!!!"
Lorraine hid in the stall. "DO NOT FUCKING COME IN!!!!"
Ed, on the other side of the door, was stunned. Lorraine never cussed.
Lorraine was stunned. Lilith laughed. "Nice. I couldn't have cussed better myself. Your soul is already being corrupted."
Lorraine screamed at Lilith, "I WISH I NEVER MET YOU, YOU FUCKING WHORE!!! GO AWAY!! JUST GO AWAY!!!!!
This made Ed concerned. Lorraine never spoke this way.
"Lorraine, I'm coming in."
This spooked her.
"NO!!! DO NOT!!!!"
He walked in.
And was stunned.
There was a demon, an actual demon, in his wife's place.
He held up his crucifix. Lorraine shrieked because it burned. But not just that.
He rejected her.
"WHERE IS LORRAINE?!"
That stunned her.
"W-what?"
"MY WIFE!!! WHERE IS SHE?!"
She whimpered, "Wise men say..."
He fell back, stunned. "Lorraine?"
She nodded and cried.
He put down the crucifix. And held her close.
"You accidentally signed the contract."
She nodded.
Ed was silent.
The two just sat.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. We should have turned around."
Lorraine held Ed. "It's ok. Can we just go home?"
Ed looked out the window.
"Let me give you a boost."
"My shoes are really uncomfortable."She took them off, and to her relief, her feet were ok. The toenails, however, had become claws.
Ed gave her a boost out the window and met her outside. The two got in the car and began the drive home.
