"Jack where are you?" I rush through the forest as I look for him.
I trip over something on the ground. I sigh, it was just a tree branch. Where did he go?
"Jack! Where are you?" I shout as I search for him. I need to find him. He's probably just hiding behind a tree so he can scare me. But I'm worried. He said he needed to talk to me about something.
He's been down lately. I hope it's nothing serious.
Suddenly, I feel a rush go through my body. Everything goes back.
I open my eyes. I'm laying face down, it's cold and dark. Where am I? I think to myself. When I turn myself over I see something I'll never forget.
The face. The face of a demon.
The devilish smirk with crooked teeth, but that's not all. I look to the side. I see Jack, but it's not exactly him. It's like a skin.
I then realise. The devil I'm looking at, is Jack.
I look him in the eye, I take my hand and hold his cheek, "How did this happen?"
His face turns sad as he struggles to speak. "Time came to go home. Family is hell demons" he spoke in his broken English.
"Take me with you." I say. "I want to be with you. I need to be with you."
"Demon life horrible. No want to be demon. Stay human. You happy here" he chokes out.
"I won't be happy unless I'm with you."
