Him.. (Val x Reader/oc)

Chapter 3: Wait!

*present time* "I...I um..Was an actress" I responded, my brain flashing memories that were all blurred together of when I was alive. He starred at me in silence before expressing "Holy shit. You shitting me?" He asked in disbelief, I shook my head no in response. "You were an Actor?" Another pause, I nodded. "We-e-el" he said, with a hearty chuckle "Ain't that just a STRIKE A' GOLD! You see, I own my own studio here! You could come an' work for me! I would pay you a handsome and tidy lil sum, every film you did, every scene you partake in, ahhh the movies would gleeeaammm with you shining in the world." He paused, examining my face and expression, which was intrigued yet afraid. He let out another chuckle, before continuing. "Just ask Angel here" he said, gesturing to the spider next to him, who simply nodded in response his face twisting slightly into a half smile half frown, he seemed worried. That should've been my first warning sign. "Angel here," val continued "is a perfect example of what daddy can get you. In't that right Angel?" He turned his head, and gripped Angels face harshly "yea, but it ain't worth it." Angel whispered, just loud enough for Val to hear. "What?" Val said, grabbing his face harder, "y-yes daddy." Angel quickly corrected himself, and Val loosened his grip "Dats what I thought....and you and vox is in biiiigg trouble now." His voice changed into the demonic form, sending anxiety butterflies to my  stomach, and chills down my spine. "W-what does that mean um...sir?" I asked, not really wanting to know the answer. "Don't worry 'bout it babycakes, listen, I'm sure if you came and worked for me, you'd be my everythang too, you'd be my baby too." He stared at me through his rose colored heart shaped glasses, I stared back, "What films do you um, produce?" I asked, "What films?" He repeated, before replying "Well, my films specialize in a particular kind of Industry.....the adult entertainment industry." He smiled, looking me up and down, I felt uncomfortable with his eyes looking at my body the way a predator looks at its prey before striking, I shifted in my seat. "It is of that kind, I'm afraid, I do hope that will not be a problem for you," he said, his smile fading into a more serious face, he waited for my answer, "It might be. I've never done that before and I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with that, at all." I looked around the car, trying to avoid his eyes. "Huh....well, I'm very sorry to hear that.....Driver why don't y'all pull over to da nearest curb, I do believe our friend is done with us." The driver said something but it came out as more of a muffled voice. I thought about it. About what he said, things could be-would be- so much worse out there on the curb, on the streets in hell, than they would right here, he could make my life easier, better, and all I had to do was shoot some pornos? Sleep with some people for extra cash? "Wait!...." He looked at me as we pulled over and he opened the car door, pausing for a moment to hear my sentence. "I-I'll reconsider your offer sir." I mumbled. "Oh I'm sorry babycakes, did you say sum'n?" He said, his hand still on the door, "Y-yes...I'll reconsider your offer." I spoke a little louder, shuffling in the seat and making eye contact with the moth demon. "Hm..you'll reconsider, Oh that is good, Carry on driver!" He exclaimed, shutting the car door. He looked at me again, "babycakes, as I said, y'all in hell. At some point ya' gonna have to accept dat reality. Ya' gonna have to scratch out some kinda livin' down here; and I'm offerin' you a chance for fame, a chance for glory, Everlasting in eternity..." he paused, again examining my expression, he was right, "tell me, did you ever make it? Y'know as an actor? Did you ever be rich? Did'ya ever be famous? Did'ya ever accomplish anything? When you was up t'ere?" I sat in the silence and shook my head no as the memories again flashed before me, the years I wasted on something so stupid, the months I wasted with that jackass JT, who promised I would be a big star, the tears, the time, the effort. "No. Dats what I thought. Down here, like Anngeeelll cakes here, I will give you the chance, to be somethin' greater than you is now. People will love you, people will adore you, I already love you and you ain't even been in anythang." For some reason, even though I didn't trust him, and he reminded me so much of JT, what Valentino said seemed true, seemed real. Was I really going to be foolish enough to believe him? Yes. Yes I was. "It sounds like an incredible offer Mr.Valeninto, I would love to be one of your stars, if you're givin' me the chance." I smiled, whether I meant to or not, I smiled. "Ooooohhhhh, that is sssssuuCH Good news! You have made me sssoo very happy, oh I can't wait ta get started. I will buy you the finest outfits, the finest clothes, the finest jewelry, I will buy you the finest food, you will be livin' the life a' luxury down here, you mar' my words, you mar' daddy's words. *wheezy laugh* All I ask, is dat you siiignnn her'." He said, moving his hands rapidly, causing a contract to appear out of what seemed to be thin air, a ring of red smoke surrounded it. He handed me a pin with one of his extra arms, I hesitated and looked up at him, leaning forward, "Just sign your name, sweet thang." He said, his face in a twisted smile, but his eyes seemed kind, I leaned forward and began to sign my name at the bottom of the contract. "Oh, dats right, just sign your name sugar, and all your troubles will now be daddy's. I'll solve everythang for you." I nodded as I finished signing and he made a happy "hm" noise in response, "you signed it, oh that is fantastic. And now?" He said, looking over the contract and then making it vanish, "you belong to me...ain't that marvelous?" I gulped and nodded, unsure of the correct answer. "I will take very, very, good care of you, sssweet cakes." He let out at mischievous wheezy giggle. "Now, just sit back and enjoy the ride baby, we'll arrive at my studio shortly...Vox, you can turn the music back on sugar. And Angel, c'mere."
