[Ch. 7]

"How did you heard her story? I thought you were outside."

"I was outside," the man said. "I just heard the story."

"Oh," the reporter said. "Now I understand."

"Let's finish Nikki's story."

 The devil descended to the hill where he could see the stars shining brightly. It was the place where he visited when he felt so upset. Just by looking at the night sky made him feel comfortable. Tears started to fall down as he realized that the girl he met never recognized his feelings for her. He searched for such warm-hearted humans, and when he thought he found one, they didn't come to his side. All that was left was pain and curses.

"Are you the devil?" Someone asked from behind. Snarling, he looked behind, only to find a crazy scientist looking at him. 

"What," he spat. "You want to be killed?"

"No, sir, I was about to ask you to lend your powers to my son. He wants to be powerful, and you would see the ambition in his eyes if you meet him. Would you-"

"Lead the way," the devil interrupted, his eyes shining like the killer's eyes.

"You will..?"

"Just lead the way, mortal," the devil hissed. "I should see this awfully welcoming dude."

 When they arrived at the place where the scientist's son was lying down, barely conscious, the devil's lips twisted into an evil grin.

"He's the boy," the devil growled, liking the ambition blooming from him. No more kind kids. He wanted a powerful host to let his evil intentions known to the world.

"Will you..?"

"Yes, I will," the devil hissed softly. "I'll do the thing. Now, get out."

 As the scientist got out of the room, the devil looked at the boy, who was stirring. When the boy opened his eyes, he instantly knew that this kid was the younger sibling of the guy he knew. Alex. This guy was the boy whose name was-

"Who are you?" The boy asked as the devil touched his chin. The fearless blue eyes locked with the horrifying red eyes which had black crimson smoke. The claws the man had unlocked, and the boy stared at them. 

"Do you want power, boy?" The devil asked, not taking his eyes off him.

"If I can get powerful enough to beat my own father, then I would do anything," the boy responded. His eyes were glowing of ambition. And... jealousy?

"You have an older sibling who's rejecting the world, right? And his name is Alex."

"I have," the boy said, his eyes getting colder. "Why do you ask?"

"I'll let you have a chance to get a revenge on him, Lewis Savage," the devil whispered.

"Is that an oath or just a promise?" The boy asked, suspicious look on his eyes.

"I never lie," the devil said, laughing evilly. "So, what's your choice?"

"I want to get power," Lewis said, his eyes slowly turning into burning red with each word he spoke. It made the devil grin evilly at him, which eventually made Lewis make the same facial expression like him. This boy was getting eviler. Someday... this guy would actually become a devil like him. There were black crimson smoke beginning to appear on the side of Lewis' eyeballs, and his hands began turning into sharp, metal claws. The boy looked at them, and he had another evil sneer over his face.
