Pet to the Demon Master

Chapter One

I stared down at my feet situated on the beautiful marble floor of the 'humana centrum', the place that will determine which master I go to and how my life turns out. There are people sobbing in the line, but I don't really see the point, why waste my tears.

The woman at the desk calls out 'next' and I slowly shuffle to the front. The clerk looks me up and down before saying "Door 36, level 2. Next!"

'Okay...' I think to myself, looking around for an elevator or some stairs. I see one to my left and I go and press the button.

While I'm waiting for the lift, I hear a series of gasps behind me, I turn and see all the staff staring at the man that has just walked in. He's dressed in a bluish grey suit with a bright red necktie and a white dress shoes. He is tanned with dark hair that is curly on the top and has on a pair of black sunglasses. He has a square jaw and is very muscular and intimidating.

He is obviously a demon due to his sophisticated clothing, humans are not even allowed to wear shoes unless they are doing a job that requires them.

The man walks to the desk and says something to the clerk. She looks like she is about to faint but points towards me.

The man slowly turns towards me, and I turn my eyes to the floor again.

He walks towards me and my pulse quickens, he has an aura that makes me feel like I have done something wrong, like something bad is going to happen to me. He stops next to me and pushes the button again.

The elevator doors open and he motions for me to go first. I slowly tip toe forwards and stand in the corner leaning against the wall.

"What level are you going to?" He asks in a deep, calm voice.

Humans aren't supposed to talk to demons. I look up and on the roof of the elevator is a camera with a small blinking light. Okay... definitely can't talk to him so I hold up two fingers.

"Same" he says and presses the button.

I stare at the floor, what if he is my master? How will I manage? Gosh I'm scared.

The elevator comes to a stop and he walks out, I slowly trail behind him. And let out a breath of relief when he passes door 36. Only to suck it back in again when he stops next to the door, as if he was waiting on the person inside.

I take a deep breath and knock on the door.

It makes a creaking noise as it opens, my heart races as I am pulled inside with a gust of wind. The room is dark. I can't see anything. There is smoke all around me and whispers everywhere.

A pair of red eyes appear directly before me. I search for emotion in them, something that can reassure me that all will be okay. Nothing.

"Come forward" a deep menacing voice commands.

I don't even think before complying. There was no chance for hesitation in the voice's command.

"Closer" the voice calls, before I am lifted up in the air.

I'm floating and turning around in the air. Before I can think, a gust of wind rips all of my clothes off my body and leaves me bare.

"Hmm. Yes, you will do quite nicely" the voice whispers in my ear, causing me to shudder. Then I feel a sensation in my shoulder and I black out.
