The darkness was suffocating her. She couldn't breathe, as thick black oil seemed to leak into her lungs and choke her. She forgot to think, only focusing on getting out of this breathlessness.
'If you want me to, I can get you out of this darkness, if you'd like. I can change everything. You seek revenge? I can give it to you.'
She struggled the blackness wrapping around her. She thought that, indeed she wanted to get out of here, and also wanted revenge against the sadistic murderer who'd killed her parents. But was this really the only way?
A blurry, holographic projection of a face floated in front of her, an image of a boy, maybe take year or two older than she? Icy blond hair framed his wine red eyes, slits for pupils, staring her down. She was going to die if she didn't answer the boy, but how could he help her? She was good as dead anyways.
"Help...me...please...My brother...he's going to be...all alone if I...die..." She struggled with each word, trying not to slur her speech.
'But there are conditions, and you'll have to be slightly...altered. Is that really what you want?' He tilted his head, smirking like a madman.
She opened her half-shut eyes, a dark blue coloring the irises. "Anything. What are...your terms, exactly?"
'I am to be a loyal servant to you, until our contract is dissolved, when your thirst for revenge is finally quenched. Then, when our contract is no longer...' he paused, licking his lips. 'I get to devour your soul. I am, in fact, a serpent demon, after all.'
She didn't think. She immediately nodded, and said, "I agree to the contract."
A blinding flash of white-green light, and a hand reaching towards her face, and a burning sensation in her right eye as it turned emerald in color, a serpent wrapped around a star branding her pupil, completely dissolving the small black dot.
'Pleasure doing business with you...young Mistress.'
