The warmonger

Hope

     It's only me and the priest left, two days ago the humming became louder and the tone changed for several hours, all of my fellow friends went into seizures and died horrible with their eyes, nose and ears bleeding , me and the priest were in the caves looking for a new hiding place. When we got out, with his dying breath the last one that was barely alive told us about the Humm then his soul left his body.
     My son, it's just me and you, all of our fellows confessed their sins, you are the only one who didn't, do you want to confess now and accept the forgiveness of God?
     Father, do you really believe that God is there?
     Yes, with all my heart, and i feel it in my body.
     If you believe in God that means that you believe in demons as well, am I right?
    Yes you are, why do you ask?
    Well if heaven is like the heaven the A.I. Built i don't want to be there. So if demons are real i would like you to help me to make a deal with them, what do you say father? Will you help me?
     I'm sorry but I don't want to help you doom your soul!
     What's one more soul doomed, already ten billion people are in a hell desguised as heaven , if you help me I might be able to save them. We don't have much time left, and I already have a ticket to hell so you don't need to worry about getting me damned .
     Ok, I will help you, may the Lord have mercy on our souls.
     Thank you, but how will we will summon a demon?
     You know, it's a saying. God works in misterious ways. And that is true.
     I know that but what do you mean?
     When I was a kid, the church in my village had an exorcist priest , he helped a lot of families and children by preventing demons to corrupt the people. He did that by teaching us a prayer from an unabridged Bible. Once a week we gathered at the church and prayed. One day he suddenly disappeared, he left the Bible behind and I took it, that was the day that I decided to become a priest. In this Bible there is a ritual to summon a demon.
     Lucky me, but why does a Bible has a ritual like that?
     It's used to summon a demon in order to banish it, but u can do that only if you know how to get rid of him, I cannot do that, I don't know how.
     So if we do this we are stuck with the demon.
     Yes, but only if the ritual  works.
     Let's give it a try.
     I think you must know that the demon will resonate with your sins, if you are wrathful  he will be wrathful, if you are a liar he will be a liar and so on. We should talk about your sins to see if it worth to do it.
     I think we are good, just tell me what I have to do and you can go away from me.
     I won't go, I want to see.
     Ok let's do it allready.
     We need wood , water, dirt and some of your blood.
     How much blood?
     Not much, a cup.
     Ok I'l go get some wood and my blood, you get the water and dirt.
     Two hours later we got all the things we need and we are ready to start the process.
     Tell me what's next.
     First we mix the blood with the water and dirt and shape it in the form of a body, then we build a bonfire around it and the demon should appear.
     Everything is in place, all we have to do is light up the fire. I threw the match, the fire went up, seconds later there it was, comming out from the bonfire a tall, dark haired woman with glowing blue eyes. The priest fainted, I think he never saw a naked woman before.
     With every step she takes towards me I realize that I didn't prepared for this to work, I don't know what to do or say. She stops two feet in front of me, her gaze is piercing through my soul I feel like I am about to faint as well.
     Don't be scared, I will not hurt you. Tell me your name.
     Lucas.
     Nice to meet you Lucas, I am Lilith. Why did you summon me?
     To make a deal.
     Let's hear it.
     First I have some questions for you. What kind of demon are you?
     Well I'm not really a demon, Its complicated. I'm surprised that the ritual you did could summon me, it's your blood that draw me out from hell. This is the first time I'm out.
     This doesn't answer my question.
     Lucas don't be scared, I'm not going to trick you, you freed me. I'm not in the mood to explain right now.
     Ok then, next question. If I make a deal with you, my soul will belong to you?
     Yes that is how it works most of the times, you can also sacrifice someone life and you'll get to keep your soul and get the deal or you can worship me and get a deal, but your soul can grant you more than the rest of options. Lucas for you I will make an exception as a gift for freeing me. Ask me anything you want and I will be happy to give it to you whitout anything in exchange.
     That sounds to good to be true. Let me wake up the priest and talk to him about this.
     If I was a bad girl I would considered this the deal but I'm not so go on.
     Hey, wake up. Hey wake up father. This is not working, i need some water to trow on him.
     Lilith I'm going to get some water, do you want to come with me? We can talk more on the way.
     No, I will wait for you here, I will enjoy the night sky, it's beautiful.
     I won't make you wait for long.
     Take your time, I'm not in a rush.
     Oh man I didn't expect the ritual to work, I hope when I wake up the priest he has some idea of what to do. I don't even know what deal I want to make, I should have though about it before we started.
      Hey Lilith, I'm back, I brought something to eat if you want to.
      So nice of you, what do you have there?
     Some chips, chocolate bars and peanut butter.
     Can I have all of them?
     Sure, here you go.
     Thank you, but what is in that bottle that you hide?
     Something for later, I'll share it with you.
     I can't , now go wake up your friend.
     I threw a bucket of water on the priest but he doesn't wake up, il started to slap him and still nothing, there's something wrong, he is breathing but he's like in a comma, fuck I think the humming from the A.I. made him break down. Now that I think about it I don't hear that anymore.
     Lilith, it seems that my friend is not going to wake up anymore, I don't know if you are aware what's going on in the world but I might be the only one alive that's not brainwashed.
     I am aware and it's kind of funny how people choose to enslave themselves, I might say that it's in their blood, but not yours that's why I was drawn to you.
     The priest said that the demon that will arrive will resonate with me. It seems that's true. One more thing, since you arrived I don't hear the humming that makes all people go insane, do you have something to do with that?
     I heard the Humm as well and it annoyed me so I stopped it for me and you.
     Thank you for that. You know what let's share that bottle of whiskey and call it a night.
     You know, we can do more than drink and go to sleep.
     I'm sorry to disappoint you but this is the first time in a long time since I will go to sleep without having to hear that humming. We should go back to the base, get something for you to wear and enjoy that drink.
     I have a better idea, you go and get more wood to throw in the fire and after that you'll get naked too, we'll drink and then we'll go to sleep next to the fire , I might teach you something amazing tonight. What do you think about that?
     I can't say no to that. But before I go to get wood I want to make that deal that we talked about.
     Anything you want, I want nothing in excange.
     Teach me everything you know, and teach me how to do everything that you can do. Does this work for you?
     Well well well, you are asking a lot, but i like you so this works. But first you must tell me what you want to do with that knowledge.
     I want to destroy all technology in order to save the humanity.
     You are so selfless, I'm impressed. But I can do that for you right now.
     To be honest, it's not just that, I also want to spend more time with you and get to know you better, I'm a curious man I can't pass this opportunity.
     I know what you really want, don't forget, you summoned me using your blood, now that everyone is gone you should allow yourself to be selfish. I will not judge you.
     If you know what I want why did you bother to ask?
     For fun.
     Well since you know everything about me, tell me what do you want?
     I don't know everything, and the blood connection will fade away in a few days so don't worry about it . And what I want does not matter to you.
     Why not?
     Because I can't get what I want. Now go get the wood the fire is going out and I'm getting cold.
