(Y/n) shot up from where they were laying on the ground. They felt dirty, as their clothes were covered in mud, grime and the likes. But despite that they felt strangely… Alive. That’s when it hit them.

‘Did I die..?!’

Or they think they died, but that can’t be, (Y/n) is in one piece here right now. The little bird did something, didn't it? That bird made a contract with (Y/n), in exchange for preventing their death they were supposed to pet every cat they see? (Y/n) doesn’t really get it but they will try and fulfil their part of the contract.

(Y/n) felt around their face. It seems to be intact with no major injuries, not that they could see. There's no reflective surfaces around here. Then they noticed something.

A feather. It was hanging from their left ear, like an earring except it felt permanently stuck. They tugged on it, seeing as it only hurted them they stopped.

Well then, where are they? As far as they know they’ve just been wandering the forest ever since the bear devil died to some invisible force. Looking around (Y/n) noticed they still were at the boulder where they met the single eyed bird devil. It was already getting dark so best to get moving.

They trudged through the forest, twigs broke under their step. After a good 15 minutes they eventually got out of there and found themself on a road. Now that they’re out, where the hell are they now?! (Y/n) has seriously never been here. Maybe they can ask for directions but there’s no one around.

In the end, following the road was probably the best idea for now. (Y/n) walked by the road just by the edge of the forest. It was getting darker. (Y/n) hoped that they wouldn't encounter any devils at this time. At the end of the road they could see a warehouse. Maybe there’s someone there that can help them!

They sped up towards the warehouse. But to their disappointment the warehouse seems to have been abandoned. They sighed, it wouldn't hurt to stay here for the night though. But then they heard a car pull up. Panicked, (Y/n) ran inside one of the warehouse’s broken down doors and hid behind some rubble.

After a short while, a young boy around (Y/n)'s age came in with a chainsaw…dog? Accompanied with an old man.

“There's a devil out here?” the boy with blonde hair said. “Can't see one… Guess it's hiding somewhere.”

Devil..? Here? Oh shit, this place might have a devil! (Y/n) tried to keep calm, it's probably fine. That blonde guy seems to be looking for it. Although they seem a bit young they can probably take care of it right?

“Denji boy… you have our thanks,” (Y/n) heard the older man say. Aye, so the boy's name is Denji.

“Ah, yeah…” Denji replied.

“Obedient like a dog. Happy to work for cheap treats like a dog too.”

“What?”

“Thing is though, I hate the stench of fucking dogs.”

Hearing that, Denji glanced back but as he did, a sword cut through him and the chainsaw dog. Impaling the two of them like some meat on a skewer.

(Y/n)'s eyes widened. What's going on..?! T-this seems mad personal..! They couldn't leave without making any sounds, the sounds of things  moving about would alert the old man to them and who knows what he would do to them. Best to stay hidden and hope for the best.

“Us yakuza,” the man spoke again. “We wanted to get stronger to make more money, so we made a contract with a devil just like you did.”

‘Hmm, so that chainsaw dog is a devil? I mean I should've thought about it from the start,’ said (Y/n) to themselves in their head.
