A Date with the Devils Daughter

Jack sat up in a red hallway with torches along the walls. It was at least four metres high and three metres wide. Behind him was a wall and at the other end of the hallway there was a black door. Seeing it to be the only exit he got up and walked towards it. Just before he reached them they swung open revealing a massive chamber with a floor of lava. In the middle of the lake there was an island with a massive chair on it, it was unoccupied at that point in time but Jack had bad feeling about the being that would later occupied. As he walked out across the bridge his suspicion was confirmed as the god of destruction appeared. Know to humans as the devil but known to everyone else as Մեծ չարիք է (pronounced Mets ch'arik' e). Whatever reason it had to bring him here it wouldn't be good.

"JACK FROST" Its voice was loud and echoed around the cavern. "I HAVE HEARD MANY THINGS ABOUT YOU."

"Just cut to the chase. Why did you bring me here?"

"YOU HAVE POWER. POWER THAT I NEED."

"How the hell are you going to get my power? It's with my wand in the land of the living."

"YOU WILL RETRIEVE IT FOR ME OR I WILL DESTROY MEWNI."

"I know about the rules that prevent you from doing that. If you try to you will be banished here forever."

"UNTRUE."

"You know I'm right. There is nothing you can do to make me give you my staff."

"IF YOU DO NOT GIVE ME THE STAFF YOU WILL BURN HERE FOREVER."

"Go ahead. I don't care." The being stopped for a second then shrunk down to Jacks size, taking Cassandras form. It wore a black business suit and had a suitcase in one hand. A table appeared in front of them and it sat down.

"How about we talk about this then? I'm sure we can come to an agreement." It said.

"Fine then." Jack sat down across from it.

"I know full well that if you could you would go back to the world of the living. I can make a deal with you that would allow you to do so."

"What's the catch?"

"The catch is I will take your natural powers for myself. I have a use for them."

"Why do you want my powers?"

"Reasons that I am not going to say."

"Okay. I'll think about it."

"Here's the contract." She opened the suitcase and got out a piece of paper with a slight red tint. Jack took it and had a look.

"No. If I sign this you get possession of my wand and all hell will break lose if I do."

"Then let me change the terms."

"Again, no. I'll change the terms myself." Jack earned a scowl for that but no objections.

"Fine. But there's another term."

"What is that?"

"You have to take my daughter on a date. It's been a while since she's been in the mortal world so she asked me to get you on a date with her."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. You do that and afterwards you can work out the details with her."

"Then I'll do it. Where is she?"

"I'll transport you to her room. She can find you some clothes to wear." It clicked its fingers and Jack disappeared. He landed outside of a small cottage in the woods. Confused about where he was he walked up to the door and knocked. It was soon opened by a black haired girl who was about Jacks height.
