They origins of Casinos and Diners

A deal you can't resist.

You sobbed, sinking down the wall in an alley you found. You hated yourself for snapping, or even saying that... 

You needed to fix it, you take out the paper, running to the address. You saw the man from before, walking the pit inside. You follow him, trying to catch him. 2 people grab you, Kingsley and Ashton? How'd they get here so fast? You try to get away before you screamed.

"I WANT TO MAKE A DEAL!!!" Kingsley covered your mouth.

"Don't even say that." He growled. The man paused, looking back.

"Been expecting it." 

"No, boss, he's kidding. He's a funny kid. Ain't he Ashton?" Kingsley smiled nervously.

"Yup, funny, hahahaha.... ha... ha." Ashton gulped. 

"Well let me ask him." The man came over to me removing Kingsley and Ashton from me, having them watch from afar. "You're a spunky little guy, aren't you?" He lifted your chin up. "Best part is, you aren't who you say you are." You gulp as you sweat beads.

"I'm not here for that. I want a deal." He grabbed you by your neck throwing you in front of Kingsley. 

"Try and try Dice, but he isn't who you think." Your eyes widened as Kingsley went to help you, yet you quickly put your hands up, sending him flying back. Kingsley stared at you in shock. You panted softly, getting up weakly.

"I want a deal." You growl. 

"Alexander..." Kingsley stared. You teared up as you look back.

"I-" 

"He's not real. He's an experiment gone wrong. He's been here for a long time, takes the bodies of the dead, lives as them." The man took you outta your body, your soul trying to go back. "Feeds offa life energy."

"Let me go! Stop that body, it'll decay!" You sob out as he threw you into your true body. You look at your hands and panic. 

"An imp, nothing more." He laughed. You look back at Kingsley and your breath hitches. "And better yet, the same Imp where when he was alive he was a witch, the same one who cursed your parents Dice. He paid to have them killed. He worked with the Mayor." The devil laughed, showing himself to you. You stumble back.

"Kin-Kingsley that, that was the past, I'm not like that no more.... I'm someone new because of you..." You reach out for him but he stepped back.

"I grew up, having someone who wasn't prepared, sacrifice his life for me, because my parents got killed. And that, that was your fault? Your fault Ashton was alone for most of his life? Your fault I never met my parents and the diner caught fire? Then you feed offa us? Expecting I'd love you?" He shook his head. You began sobbing more. 

"N-No! It's not like that!" You wipe your face. "She stole him from me! She deserved it!" 

"Wh-What?"

"I loved your father... We were together for a long time, until he cheated on me for Quinsel... The he left..." You stare at Kingsley. "Alone at the alter, with a card that said Sorry..." You snicker. "Next day, I put the plan together, but when I thought about it, I decided not to... But the mayor stole my money, stole my plans, poisoning me, calling it an overdose..." 

"Who are you really Alexander?" Ashton took a step closer to you. You inhale. "Luna Wolff, my 'mother'." You look up at him. "Alexander was my son, died at birth before I met Red... so I used him, giving him life." You sniffle. "I never expected to bump into Red's son... but when I did, my past came back to me..." You chuckle. "Remember me yet Ashton? There for your birth... saw you grow until 10. Ya ma and I would play music for you." 

"Lu Lu?" Ashton paused.

"Bingo... That's why when I first saw you, I hugged you and sobbed..." You shook your head. 

"Now that that's outta the way, you've got much to do Luna Wolff, stole some very important stuff." Devil grabbed me and laughed.

"Wait wait wait!!! Please! You can have me but I want to make a deal!" You cried out. He snapped, sending the 2 out, trying to get back in. 

"What may that be?"

"Alexander, give him life where I left off as him, but him and Dice must meet." You stare at Devil, tearing up.

"Consider it as a favor." He smirked sending me down, screaming. Kingsley banged on the door.

"Wait! Let us in!" He cried out.

"It's useless Dice. We lost him..." Ashton stood there. "... If I knew..."

"It's not his fault.... it was my father..., thought I'd never say that..." Kingsley sunk down.

"Wonder what the deal was?"

"We'll find out-" Kingsley was cut off by the fact of him forgetting what had happened. "Hey Ashton, want to go get food?" He smiled. Ashton smiled back.

"Ok."

Alexander, prince of Hell?

"My son, oh you'll be perfect for it all." Devil smirked as he grabbed Alexander's body. "I'll make you my son, the prince. It's part of the deal to Luna to give you life and this is how." He laughed.

Part 2 coming out soon.
