Melodies of Soul

39: Devil's Contract

I stared at my fiancee and then my mother. I was standing right in the middle of both rooms. Officers were also wounded. I hugged the book tightly against my chest. It took me hours to decide what I must do. What they had was an accident from a runaway lunatic. And now they are in critical condition. The health plan can't covert it all. My earnings isn't sufficient. I had left the hospital crying. As I reached the abandoned building ready to sacrifice myself for them. Prayers won't help. They are young. Healthy. Social. Amazing people.

I looked around before entering the building. Nobody is in here. So I went to the darkest corner I could find and used the chalk. I drew the patterns that the book asked for. Would it work? I have the book opened and so I passed the page. I saw what I must say. If I remember correctly I must repeat it six times.

So forth. I started saying the words. As best as I could. My chest started to hurt. But I did what I must. So forth I kept doing it. I felt something thick start to glide down my lips. So I moved my tongue to taste it. It's a metallic flavor. It's blood. It didn't make me stop. Until the very last word when a reflection appeared. I saw rocks. Fire. Lava falls. A throne.

"This is a first..." I hear a voice from within the glass

I tensed up as I saw this huge half man. He had basically eight black wings. Curved horns. Pointy ears. A thin tail with an arrow at the end. He had on just a robe covering his lower half. He had slight pale skin but you can see the burns from the fire. He sits on the throne. His eyes black. Neck length golden hair. It's Lucifer. The actual Lucifer.

"No mortal has ever been able to communicate with me before... This seems fun now" he taunts with a grin as they were as sharp as a sharks teeth

"I-I am here to do a contract with you!" I say trying to be brave

"With me... The Devil!" He laughs out

I stood my ground and say "I want to have three credit cards... For three people... Unlimited money! In exchange for my soul or services"

He laughs more "Mortal one... You amuse me... Alright what are the three names..."

"Kyle Black Wolf, Taylor Ortiz Hernández and myself Lilac Fang Ortiz!" I tell him while stomping my foot

"Alright then..."

"No funny business... No police... No sudden deaths... No bad lucks either!" I interrupted him

He smiles greatly "Lookie here mortal... Destiny has its way but... Seeing as my son is destined to meet your future daughter I will allow this to be for free..."

I am confused so I say "So you don't want my soul? Or do you want me to kill thousands of people?"

He bursts in laughter again "No mortal... I am allowing your request for free... Even though when you die of old age you are heading straight to hell but I want my son to be happy so... You better train your children well..."

He flicks his fingers and three credit cards land on my hands. I am amazed and confused at the same time. He waves his hand and a piece of paper is in my other hand.

"Better train her well... My son seems to adore her to bits in the future" that was his last words when the mirror vanishes

The books. Started burning itself. Before I could even stop it from burning it was already gone. I looked at the paper and it's like a transcript of what just happened. I felt confused so I reread it all. My heart aches. My future daughter is marrying one of Lucifers sons. He even placed the imagine of them both making out. They look so happy together. So this is destined. The contract enters my arm. Before I could even finish reading it. It hurts like hell. It left a gash on my arm. The patterns I drew were gone also. I turn around and standing there was a shadow. A smile is all I can see. Red eyes also. I swallowed the growing lump but it then fades away. Revealing the door. It was facing the hospital.

How? I rushed forward and so the moment I took a step. An arm holds my shoulder. Pulling me back. It made me shriek. I looked back and it was a man. A woman was holding his hand. But I was just inside a building? I looked around and noticed I am across the street.

"Ma'am... Stay still... Your wound... We'll help you to the hospital" the woman spoke

I looked at the pool of blood that was now beside my legs "Oh my god... I almost forgot about this"

I started feeling light headed "Patrick come the light is green now"

They help me inside the Hospital where a nurse recognized me. She quickly runs out the front doors and thanks the couple who helped me. Francis is the nurses name. She leads me inside. Passing by a nagging woman. Something about she having abdominal pain. I will help them. But if this woman is still nagging I will sucker punch her to the next universe.

She leads me to the unoccupied room so the doctor can clean my wound. It was heavily bleeding. That damn piece of demonic contract went through an artery I presume. She puts on gloves as a man barges in. He saw the blood gushing out. The pain in my arm gone now. The guy didn't even need to tell the Nurse anything. She left the room to get equipment while the doctor did his best to disinfect my wound. I am ready to do what I must. But I felt the darkness starting to envelope me. I felt my body heavy. I noticed the doctor jump forward but darkness had already got me. I know I will survive. I know it.

I am fighter and so will be my children.

Thank you.
