"One evening, a portal to hell opens at the foot of your bed. A demon strides through, rips off your covers and begins to drag you through the portal by your ankles saying, 'you're going to help me settle a bet.' "
I rub my eyes, looking up from my homework.
"Guess I'm having dinner alone. Again." I mutter.
Yawning, I think of what to have for dinner when I spot my phone on the bed. Looking back and forth between my phone and homework, I shrug deciding I deserved a break.
I jump on my bed spread-eagled, narrowly avoiding my phone. I get comfy on my bed and unlock my phone to scroll through instagram. I like a few posts, most of them food related and gradually get ideas for dinner. Suddenly, a shiver goes through me.
Feeling a little cold, I get up and close the window and come back to sit at the foot of my bed. Deciding to start on dinner, I get up when all of a sudden, the carpet near my bed frame falls as my floorboards start falling through.
"What the-"
I exclaim as I start playing the floor is lava with my bed being safety.
The floorboards (or lack of) started going up in flames but I am too freaked out that I didn't notice that nothing was being burnt.
Out of the flames came a figure, their skin having some sort of reddish-bronze hue and things looking similar to horns come out of their head. The figure wore a suit and- wait, is- is that a tail?
The being opens their mouth and a horrible sound comes out. Like nails being scratched on a chalk board but ten times worse. I cover my ears as I physically cringe at the sound.
Seeing my actions, the being's mouth closes and they clear their throat. When I see them open their mouth, I flinch preparing for another round of earsplitting noise.
"Human."A deep voice says.
I blink and look around. Seeing nobody, I pointed to myself.
"Me?" I asked.
Rolling their eyes, the being scoffed.
"Of course, you!" They snap. "I don't see any other insufferable creature here!"
"O-oh, uh... what can I do for you Mr-"
"I didn't come here for meaningless conversations!" They interrupt as a chain appear in their hands. Stretching their hand towards me, the chain wraps around my ankle. My eyes widen as they smirk and say:
"You're going to help me settle a bet."
