this part is my favorite no hate.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Chalice floated in the direction of the forest. as quickly as possible. She didn't notice she was getting tired. She eventually paused to take a look around. She had no idea where she was in the pitch-blackness of the woods. she floated near the ground and just stood there motionless. She didn't know what to do. She was alone, scared. She started getting angry with her self because she ran off. Even so, she was unable to go back if she so desired. She was totally lost..
After some time, Chalice noticed that she was falling asleep. Her dreams were gloomy and barren. lifeless... She then noticed her hands when she looked down in her dream. They weren't ghostly at all. They were her normal hands. when she looked away from her hands and raised her head. Her environment had changed. She was standing on a red carpet as flames filled the room's walls. A desk and a chair that was facing the other way were directly in front of her. Chalice felt herself approaching the desk.
"h-hello?"
Chalice spoke after a brief stutter. She was startled to hear a faint, dark laugh coming from the chair infront her. As the flames rose higher, she felt herself backing up again. The chair abruptly turned around. As Chalice turned to face the person in front of her, her face grew dark. It was the devil, without a doubt. Chalice stepped backwards a bit more as she gaped in disbelief. The devil looked at the chalice while resting his elbows on the desk and holding his own hands.
"Hello~ don't be scared~ why don't you come closer wont you? I wont bite~"
The devil's tone of voice was devilish. His teeth were visible in his wide smile. Chalice approached the desk in front of her slowly. She continued to stare at the devil with a shocked expression on her face. A thick book then materialized in front of them both, earning the devil a satisfied expression. Chalice regarded the book from below. It exceeded the size of her head. The devil began poring over the book and uttering the word "Hmmm" as he did so.
"ahh~ here you are. Ms. chalice it is?"
The devil said one again in his devilish tone. Chalice nodded her head not a single noise coming from her mouth. The devil gave her a raised eyebrow then gave a little laugh.
"You are aloud to speak you know~?"
The devil said, Looking intently into Chalice's eyes while grinning widely, Chalice inhaled briefly before speaking.
"y-yeah ok."
Chalice said with a shaken tone. she couldn't tell if this was a nightmare or not. The devil gave her a smile before looking down at the Thick book once again. Reading threw the Words.
"hmm~ so you charmed people with your dancing to get free stuff?"
In a joyful voice, the devil spoke. almost as if he thought it was humorous. Chalice noticed herself nodding once more. but the devil continued to look through the book, paying no attention to her. Due to her anxiety and the heat from the fire, Chalice noticed that she was beginning to sweat. The Devil abruptly closed the book he was reading before it vanished. He then turned to face Chalice.
"Ms. Chalice. its so very unfortunate how you got hit~"
The devil uttered Sounding more joyful and golly about her passing than upset or worried Chalice tried to mask a small smile.
"y-yeah, that happened haha~"
Chalice rubbed her head while speaking and briefly avoided her gaze. She did so, feeling her broken handle. She then realized that her face was beginning to appear glum. This was saw by the devil, who then focused on her broken handle.
"ohm~ you poor thing~ that handle of yours is awful isn't it~ Don't worry, it wont matter soon~"
peaking more evilly. His voice was almost growling. Chalice started to rub her broken handle as she was startled by his tone. Feeling the sharp edges. Chalice then realized fully what the devil had spoken.. "it wont matter soon?" Chalice question in her head.
"what do you mean it wont matter soon..?"
Chalice asked the devil with concern in her eyes. Then the devil grinned at the chalice. The fire then grew larger and brighter as the room's walls began to close in. Chalice then took a small step backward while glancing back and forth to see the walls closing in. She once more turned to face the devil. He had gotten out of his chair. When Chalice overheard him laughing, he approached her slowly. He raised her head by placing his hand under her chin. She was scratched by his claws.
"oh my angel~ Your dead now~ your soul belongs to me~"
The devil spoke in a deep, devilish voice. Chalice felt that his claws were clutching at her head. She was overcome by fear. She couldn't give her soul to the devil. Chalice was young and she had so much to live for.. she though all of this. Although she was now dead, she was incapable of living up to anything.
"unleSssS~"
The devil spoke with a snakiest way. He let go of Chalice as His entire body was turned away from her. Chalice rubbed the place where the devil's claws had been on her chin, tilting her head in bewilderment.
"you wanna make a deeaal~?"
While still turning his head away from the chalice, the devil continued speaking. He had an evil grin on his face. Chaliced raised an eyebrow at the devil Chaliced looked up at the devil staring at the back of his head. She knew people would say "never make a deal with the devil" but there was a chance she might live again. Despite the fact that she was aware that this might come back to haunt her.
"Depends what the deal is?"
Chalice said in full confidence. When the Devil turned around to face Chalice, his smile was as broad as ever and his face was lit up with joy. Because the devil seemed so content, Chalice noticed a drop of sweat dripping from her forehead. She made an effort to maintain her confidence.
"If you agree to do a favor at a later date~ i can make it where you could dance again~ your still be a ghost but your be able to change forms~? does that sound like a deal?"
The devil spoke his face evilly smiling towards chalice. The Devil reached his hand out towards Chalice waiting for her to shack it.. Chalice turned to face him- after looking at his hand. She bit her lip and cast a sidelong glance. She wasn't sure because any favor could be requested. but she wanted desperately to be able to move, dance, and simply appear alive. She inhaled deeply and turned to face the devil once more, shaking his hand.
"deal.."
