the deal

Chapter 1

He was sitting right in front of me completely unfazed . I dont know why he is here thou. Its not like i can help him. I try to recall the last time i saw him.

six years ago

On the verge of death , i saw him. I was diagonsed with cancer when i was 4. The doctor said i only had 6 more years to live . On the age of 10, there i was, laying fargile on the bed, hooked to multiple machines. It was no use i thought. "OH..but there will be." a voice said. My head snapped to the direction of the voice. There he was. Looking smart and neatly dressed. "who are you" I asked. "why i'm the devil" He said causally like he does this everyday ." And you are here because?"i asked him back."Well to save you my dear.'' . I looked at him skecticallly . devils don't save lives, they take it. He saw my reaction and chuckled. And then he said"Well actually , to put it in simple terms , your are gonna die. You don't have that much life in you left kiddo. So i am here to help you. To be alive." " whats the catch ." i asked. I'm not dumb. I was sure this guys wanted something in return. He bend down to my level and look me in the eye and whispered, ''your soul". There was not joking in his tone. I laughed at that thought. Live immortal , but no soul. "time is ticking little girl." He said. "Why would you want my soul? Its useless anyways.". I shot back. As much as i don't like where this is going ..i'm going to push it."Ah.. but its pure ..not something you see everyday in hell. Plus i need the energy. Its my food. " He replied calmly. i chulcked. But in the end, i did took the deal. I wanted a normal life. Though i don't know how i was going to that without any "life" . But i shook his hands , sealing the deal. ''Great. I guess i will see around. or maybe not ." He said and he left. With my soul in a dark, wooden box.

The dooctors were shocked to my recovery. They called it a miracle.My parents were happy too. And everything was normal. Up until now.
