Mary

Tik Tik Tik

     When will the class end? Mary was sitting in her Math class watching the clock. Waiting for the last few minutes so that she can get home and online so she can talk to her friends who have already graduated. 

     Mary isn't really the type to go out anywhere. She is 15 years old and her hair is a deep black with red highlights and her skin is so pale that she is almost translucent. She wears large black hoodie with black jeans and shoes which only makes her look even more pale. She loves to draw and talk to her friends online like any normal teenager. But in this case she isn't really normal. She sees things. She knows things. She can do things that nobody else can do. Typical thing to say for any story right? Wrong.

     Mary tries to live a normal life...as normal a life as anyone can live who sold their soul. When Mary was only three years old she was left alone for days and nights at a time...nobody to care for her or to protect her. Her father was always away from home and her mother was always doing drugs. Mary would wander around the neighborhood looking for people to play with and to take care of her. Then one of those days she was wandering around a younger couple asked her if she wanted to go to their house to play. She of course agreed because she didn't have anything better to do. When they got to the house they took her down into the basement to show her something. 

     "Where is we going?" She asked with her three year old curiosity.

     "It's okay Mary we are just taking you down here to show you something that is a secret because no one else can see it." 

    "Oooh...okay then." Of course with a three year old they don't know yet to not talk to strangers and she followed them. They get to the basement of their house and pull out a book. Mary is looking around and she sees an altar and an upside down star in a circle on the wall and floor.

     "We are going to play a game Mary. Okay?"

     "Okay."

     "I want you to go over to that star in the circle on the floor over there and sit down okay." The lady tells her.

     "Okay" Mary walks over to the star on the ground and sits.

     "Now I want you to repeat after me okay, but first do you know who the devil is?"

     "No who is he? My mommy and daddy never told me about him."

    "He is a very special man Mary. He is very powerful. He can do things that you or I can't do. He is greater than anyone even God."

    "Ooo...He sounds like he is a good person." Mary who has never been to church does not yet understand what it is this lady is telling her.

     "Oh he is, and do you want to know something?"

     "Yeah." Mary says in excitement.

     "You too can have some of the same powers he does. You can be able to know things and see things and even do things like move things without touching them like he can."

     "Cool. Can I meet this man called the devil?"

     "Yes that is why we have brought you here, because you know what. The Devil has asked to see you personally. He wants to meet you and teach you the things he knows."

     "When can I meet this man?"

     "You can meet him today. All you have to do is repeat what I say okay and my dear loving boyfriend will get you all ready so that you can meet him okay."

     "Yay!" Mary is excited about meeting Lucifer yet she has no clue who he really is. While she is sitting there in the inverted pentagram the man is getting things prepped and the lady is opening up the book she grabbed.
