Devil's Contract

2

Cold steel circling around my wrists, a chain connecting with the wall, keeping my arms hanging above me.

"AH, you're awake!"

I get jump-scared by a man staring right into my eyes, bending down with his palms clasped together.

Questions rummaged through my mind as I tried to grasp my surroundings but nothing. Nothing was in my surroundings except for this man in front of me.

Before I opened my mouth to say something, he straightened up and stepped a few feet back. Other than small horns erupting out of his head and silver eyes, he looked normal while in a velvet suit.

"Can you..speak?" He tilted his head slightly to the side while his jet black hair moved along, looking confused. 

"Is this a dream?" I finally got the courage to speak. Everything felt too good to be a dream, but everywhere I looked was a white void, nothing in the distance.

I see the side of his lips tug up while one of his arms waved in the air. A TV appears out of thin air, the screen being me sleeping on my bed.

"Miss Dosalo, I am sorry but tonight was where you made horrible decisions," He looked almost disappointed, I couldn't help but also think he was mocking me.

"Did you kidnap me?"

His expression changed once again, this time his eyes widening.

"Oh no. God no, why do you think that?"

I shook my arms as the chains erupt a sound of jingles. The man chuckled in return.

"That's just for aesthetic purposes, you can pull and it'll pop off,"

And it did. Before I could stand up and run, a familiar voice erupted from the TV in front of me. Turning my attention to the big screen, I watched myself sleeping calmly while a girl stood beside me. I couldn't turn my attention away even if I wanted to.

Nothing made sense to me and the more I stayed, the more it felt wrong. I wanted to run but where to? So I stayed, one could say fear was what made me freeze over the clip.

It's crazy how so much can happen in a few mere seconds. Lexi, the same girl from the party, just stood there until I saw her hands holding a sharp blade while slowly moving it above me. Small mutterings turned louder while she stayed in that position.

"Taav ra igroom,"

She repeated it again and again, louder and louder each time.

My heart started racing, confused but still scared for myself.

TAAV RA IGROOM" She finally did it, she screamed for the last time before rushing to stab down at me.

And it all turned red, my bed-sheets on the screen, the liquid on Lexi's face and hands, the room I was currently in. I stare off into space with my mouth gaped open.

The screen turned pitch black as it left me gaping at my current reflection.

"That was tragic! Seriously though, Miss Desalo, you should be careful with strangers,"
