"Someone! Anyone! Help me, please!" the young girl screamed from within the constraint of iron bars. 'Humans can be so ruthless, even to innocent children' I thought with a smirk as I watched them mercilessly beat the child. 'Perhaps I'll help her' I thought as she lied on the cold, concrete floor, riding the knife's edge between life and death. "I'll help you" I said in a sweet voice. Who's there?!" she called out, obviously terrified. "Do not worry, child, I wont hurt you" I assured her. 'Not yet, at least' I thought deviously. "Show yourself!" she demanded. I padded towards her, emerging from the shadows. "A cat?" she scoffed, "Come out! I know that this isn't you!" she said with a growl, trying to seem strong. "Oh, but it is" I said with a fake purr. "Why are you here? And how can a talking cat possibly free me from this torture?" she glared at me. "I am not in my true form, but I don't believe that it would please you if you were to see it" I warned him. "True form? Are you a demon?" she questioned. "Yes, I am a demon. And I am here to strike a deal with you, a contract, if you will" I smirked. "What would be the terms of this contract, demon?" she inquired suspiciously. "You choose the terms. Along with those set terms, I will protect you and follow your every command" I explained. "What's the catch?" she asked. "When you reach your goal, and the contract is fulfilled...I get to devour your soul" I replied truthfully. "You can have it! It's worth nothing to me anymore!" she exclaimed. 'How naïve' I thought as I suppressed a chuckle.
"Dost thou, wish to make a conract?" I inquired with a toothy grin. "If I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to summon you, now would I?" she smirked. I switched to my demon form and slowly outstretched my hand to the girl as I let out a chuckle. "I guess not" I said as she grabbed my hand. "What are your terms?" I questioned. "My goal is to find who killed my family, and take revenge by wiping them, every trace of them, and everyone and everything that they ever held dear to them off of the face of the earth!" she shouted. "Are you sure about this? Once we seal our contract, you will suffer eternal damnation, be shunned by God, and never be able to go to heaven" I explained seriously. "If I believed in God, I wouldn't have summoned a demon" she smirked again confidently. "Very well, you must now decide where you would like your contract symbol" I told her. She thought a moment before she spoke. "I wish to have it on my shoulder" she decided. I nodded and placed my hand where she pointed. "This will hurt, but please bear with it, it won't take very long" I said. The black Faustian contract symbol on my hand then began to glow violet. She let out a eardrum-shattering scream as I began to place my symbol on her. It took about two minutes for the process to finish. She was on the floor, gasping for breath as tears poured down her face. "What are my orders?" I inquire. "Kill them...everyone in here besides us...KILL THEM ALL, NOW!" she commanded. "Yes, my Lady" I replied as the room went black and the screams of the people who were beating my new master filled the room. She fell unconscious before I had finished off with the last of them.
I picked the fragile girl up gently, holding her in what humans refer to as 'bridal style' as I ran from the place we were in and headed towards the remains of the Lancaster manor, where the new head of the family, Olivia Lancaster, was to return to living in...until the time comes when I get to devour her soul..."Now I need to start re-building the mansion" I sighed as we got there, laying Olivia on a soft bed of grass. Once I decided she was going to be safe whilst I was re-constructing the manor, I began building.
