wolf in sheep's clothing (Origin Story)

chapter 3: the deal

I was sitting in the middle of the trail with my son's dead body in my arms. Wolves were slowly closing in from all around me. I pulled my son's​ body close and prepared for what was about to happen. Preparing myself for the pain but the growling stopped. I looked up to see the wolves slowly backing away. I was wondering why they would just back off. I turned my head to look behind me and I was shocked to see a man standing behind me. He was wearing a red suit and had a smile on his face. I asked who he was and he told me his name didn't matter. He asked what happened so I told him. He told me there was a way to bring back my son. I gave him a puzzled look and asked what he was talking about. He told me he could bring my son back to life if I helped him with something. I told him he was crazy. He asked me what's the worst thing that could happen. He told me I had to kill for him. I asked what he meant and he said if I kill four hundred people for him he would bring my son back to life. I told him that I didn't believe him. He told me if I didn't accept his deal he would leave and the wolves would kill me but if I accepted he would get me to safety. I asked him to prove to me that he was telling the truth. He waved his hand and my son appeared beside him as a ghost. My eyes widened and my heart started to beat fast. The man waved his hand again and my son disappeared. I stood up fast and begged the man to give me my son back. He told me all I had to do was accept his deal. I told him that I would do anything for my son. He asked if I accepted and I said yes. All of a sudden the world around me got dark. He told me that he was going to give me powers to fulfill our arrangement. When he finished I had a sharp pain in my chest that was spreading. I looked down at my chest and noticed something moving across it. It was a tattoo of a wolf. When it finished the pain went away. I asked what he did to me and he said that I now had the power to change into a hellhound and that I could summon wolves from the shadows. He told me I couldn't use my name anymore. He told me I would have to go by bloodfang from now on. I asked him who I was supposed to kill and he told me anyone. A dome of fire appeared around us. I looked around at the dome of fire that was spinning around us. It slowly disappeared and I noticed that I was standing outside my house. I looked around and didn't see the man in the suit. I heard a voice whisper in the wind that sounded like the man in the suit. The voice said don't forget our deal. I realized that everything was real as I looked down at my chest and saw the wolf tattoo. My son's body was still on the ground next to me. I dug a hole and buried him. I had to leave home to find somewhere I could complete our deal.
I was headed toward the nearest city. When I got close I saw a sign that was covered in graffiti. The graffiti said welcome to hell. I knew this would be a good place.
