I muttered the line for the 3rd time. How I regretted taking Latin. I couldn't make head nor tail of this utter nonsense before me. My mother gave me this book to help me practice, extra information to help me do better. But allas it was not working... With a sigh I closed the book and put it back into my bag.I felt a warm wave of heat travel through my body. I turned around and saw him.
His eyes were dull and lifeless, his jawline flawless. His hair had a thin layer of jell, he most likely trying to tame his wild hair. And failing.
He frowned appon me and asked
"What is it you seek, human. It's been decades since I was last summoned. You must be of great power to have disturbed me in my-"
I screamed. He rolled his eyes and with a snap of his fingers, I was silenced.
"Exuse me, but I have sensetive hearing... I know, I know, you are startled to see me. I'm way better looking than in the pictures, blah blah~"
he said as his eyes wonderd throughout my room.
I regained my speech and asked
"W-what are you doing in my room! Who are you?"
He put his hand to his chest and looked at me
"Well that hurts... you brought me here not even knowing my name"
He sheded a fake tear. I apologized and explained that I was merely trying to study for my Latin test.
I handed over my book and showed the last line I read. He looked angry and muttered a few words. I was to affraid to ask.
"Look, clearly this has been a mistake, but this isn't Latin. This is a completely different tongue. Where did you even get this?"
He held the book firmly and pointed it in my direction
"You are going to fail that Latin test if you study from this book, here-" He walked to the center of my room.
"I have a few books you can borrow, I'll take this one as payment."
"No."
He gaze seemd to pierce my soul.
"No? NO?! How dare you speak to me like that? Do you not know who I am!"
I shook my head
"No, since you haven't told me anything about you." I glared at him and told him to leave. He scoffed.
I snatched the book from him and told him to leave once more. He smiled a wicked grin "Well, darling, I can't leave until I forfilled what the enchantment says."
Enchantment? I never should have taken Latin!
"Well, what does the enchantment say?" I asked quite rudely.
He tisked
"That's no way to treat the prince of darkness" I rolled my eyes. It was 10pm. There was a strange man in my bedroom. He appeared out of think air and was now acting all cocky. He wanted my book, and he wouldn't leave.
Then it clicked
He was the devil himself... My eyes stretched wide open.
"You're the devil?"
He smiled and winked
"Bingo~"
A pathetic blush appeared on my cheeks. "What have I done..."
I opend the book and asked him with a hasty tone
"What does this mean, enchantment? What do I have to do?!?"
He sat down on my chair and leaned back "No a smart one are you" He said spinning around in my chair observing my notes.
"Hey!"
He looked at me
"Darling, the answer is obvious... I need to help you with your test."
"So, what will It be? Either I have to help you... Ugh study. Or I stay here for all eternity! What do you say?"
I rolled my eyes, "Neither. I hate studying."
"I could always help you cheat-"
"NO"
"I was just kidding! Geez, touchy, is it that time of the month?"
I threw the book at him.
He pouted
"That hurt..."
"Grow up old man."
"Hmpf, well guess your gonna have to share your bed with me then, and don't be fooled. I need my beauty sleep."
I couldn't help but blush.
He snapped his fingers and a pile of books appeared. For the first time I noticed a little tail wiggle behind him. It was adorabe. Was the devil really? No... Must be a weird dream.
"Now, lets start with the basics, miss?"
"Elizabeth. You can call me Elizabeth" "Very well then! But I was really looking forward to a couple years off... Running the underworld is stressful, and stress means wrinkles~"
