Sold My Soul To the Devils

Chapter 2

After two weeks in the cage, I'm brought back to my room. I notice a note on my bed. I pick it up and it says,

Dear Serenity,
We're coming for you. Be ready. We'll help you, if you want to stay with us or leave, it's up to you.
                    ӾΩӾΩ   ΤнΣ DΣ∇ΪŁȘ

I might sound stupid but I want to go with them. I don't care anymore. I'd rather be murdered than get killed slowly.

Seraph and Crew rush in, holding a note. They explain and show it to me. "I'm going with them. Anything has to be better than this!" I yell.

"Fine, we'll go with you but we all have to keep our guard up." Serpah says and I nod.

"And we all must keep a knife with us!" Crew says.

I nod and shoe them away. Nurse Susan comes in and gives me watee but no meds. I look at her frowning. "Don't tell anyone," she whispers. Then she starts talking in her perky voice. "Anything else I can get you?"

"I need a knife," I whisper. She nods and leaves. I went to bed, not thinking of what to come.

                             ***
"Hey! You! Wake up!" a voce rings in my ear. I shoot up and look around my room; nothing.

I grab the knife that is on my black side table. I grab it, feeling the rubber. I crawl back to the corner where my bed rests and slam my back against it, causing me to yelp.

I hold the knife with my left hand, my thumb pointing to my chest. I close my eyes, trying to breathe correctly. i feel the bed deepen and my eyes shoot open.

A male with a mask is staring at me. The mask is completely red with three black tears under each eye. "Abdul,"

"S-Serenity." I say. I didn't even notice the tear rolling down my face.

"Hey, hey. Don't cry. I'm your saviour."

"Knight in shining armour?" I ask.

He chuckles and takes the knife out of my hand. "No, think of it as selling your soul to devils."

I snap out​ of shock and try to take the knife out of his hand. He gently pushes me on the bed. He climbs over me and points the knife at me. "I'm being nice. Don't test me."

I nod and he gets up slowly​, cautiously. Once he's up, he grabs my hand and takes me out​ of the room. Another man with a mask holds Crew bridal style. His mask is white with black swirls.

"This is Junior. No one knows his real name but all we know is that he's the second." Abdul says.

"Where's the others?" Junior asks.

"Getting other patients in need." Abdul answers. On cue, a guy (with a mask too) walks towards us with a small teenager. She's like seventeen​ and her name is Xena.

"I'm Jensen!" he says happily.

This time a female runs up to us with a little girl that I'm fairly close with. Her name is Lacey. "I'm Veronica. You can call me V."

Jensen's mask has black and purple veins on it. V's mask is white with a hole on the forehead and a V on her cheek.

"Let's go. We'll meet up with the rest of them in the limousine." Junior commands.

I panic and start hitting Abdul on the chest. "What's wrong, Pancake?" he asks.

"What about Seraph?" I ask.

"Nick has him." he says and I calm down. Abdul crouches and picks me up bridal style, just​ like Crew. My bones are weak at the moment so I use this advantage.

"Why pancake?" I ask trying to make a conversation.

"You're skinny but you look yummy. If y'know what I mean," he says.

I smack his shoulder and shake my head. "Why do you guys wear masks?" I ask and boop his nose that's covered by his mask.

"Enemies look for our faces." he mutters. I nod even though he can't see me.

They run to the bay window, which is securely locked. Jensen moves Xena on her feet and points his hand to the window. Spirits bang against the window and it silently shatters.

Jensen picks her back up and jumps out the window. Everyone else jumps out except me and Abdul.

"You ready, Pancake?" he asks me.

"We're on the top floor! I'll die, we'll die!" I yell at him. He chuckles and jumps out of the broken window.

I scream as I see the ground closer. He lands on his feet but he doesn't break anything. Surely he would have. He looks at me and smiles. I look at him with a confused look and he runs til' he gets to a black limousine.

He opens the door for me and puts me down. I slide in and see Seraph, Crew, and all the other people that escaped with me. They were both sleeping in the corner seat.

I scoot next to Jensen. All the others that escaped were asleep. Abdul gets in and sits next to me.

Jensen looks, no, stares at me. "Hey, what's your sexuality? You look bi but you seem homophobic."

"Okay . . . I'm pansexual." I say awkwardly.

"Mm." he says and licks his lips. "I think she's the one."

"Really? Does she have the mark?" V asks in disbelief. Next thing I know, Jensen is making me lean forward. All of my hair goes in front of my face.  I attempt to blow my black hair out of my face but I fail.

"It's a variety of colours! What the fuck?" he yells.

"No way! That's not possible! Let me see!" Abdul yells. He pulls me towards him and looks at my neck. "Woah."
