"I've got it!"

Dice and I had a quick meeting in my office about what we are going to do with the small one. I needed a name..

"How about Princess?"

I know, Dice didn't like the idea of a child working at the casino, but someone working for free is very rare, especially with their soul under contract. Wait.. Nevermind.

"No Boss."

Dice rubbed his temples as I lit up a cigar. He clicked his nails on the desk in a annoyed manner. He looked at me, and I looked straight into his eyes. We had to go rapid fire.

"Dicey?"

"No."

"Purple?"

"Thats stupid."

"Violet?"

"Thats already her name!"

"How about.."

"No, No, No! I wanna name her Dice!"

"Little Dice."

"Nah, doesn't roll off the tongue"

"Hmm..."

"What about Lil' Dice?"

"Yes, Thats perfect."

"Lil' Dice."

[Violet's Pov]

I put on my Purple Outfit and waited until Mr. King Dice came to retrieve me. The grape juice splashed around in my head as I flung my feet off the bed. I gazed at all the purple around me. I grazed my hand over the brass trumpet My Grandfather gave to me,

"You have music in your blood. Make sure everyone knows that."

I whispered to myself. I held the Trumpet in my arms, it was almost bigger than my arm, yet i could still play it. I stared at the Dice that was engraved into the metal.

"Could this be destiny?"

I thought to myself, touching the white fabric dice placed on my new skirt.
I sighed, staring at the door.

Who knew waiting to go work was so boring!

I tilt my Mug-head, I hum a familiar tune. I hear a knock at the door and a click following it. I leap off the bed and sprint to the door, opening it. My new favourite Dice Headed man stood infront of me, I smile wide. Mr. King Dice looks the opposite. He looks, Grumpy.. And annoyed.
My smile fades as he speaks,

"Boss has given you a new name. In the Casino, during work hours, you will be called, 'Lil' Dice'. But Boss, the other employees and I may call you anything we'd like. Got it?"

He yawns. I nod quickly and slip past him and the door, running into the main room of the casino.

[There was shit here before, but Wattpad decided to delete it. So i gotta re-write it.]

I approached the craps table, where my new Devilish Caretaker resided. I watched as the 'customers' rolled the dice and betted their lives away. It was kinda sad in my eyes, just as mine was bet away.

I walked up to him, my eyes sparkling,

"Can i try?"

He laughs, he looks genuinely happy. He pats my shoulder,

"Sure kid, have at 'er"

I smiled wide, i was always into card games and dice, i have no idea why. Must have just ran in the family.

I waddled over to the table, another friendly worker set up a stool for me to stand on, i said thanks and readied myself for some fun.
Everyone in the casino gathered round the Table to watch me throw the dice, for the very first time.. In the devils casino.
Even Mr. King Dice came to watch me!
The devil grabbed Mr. Dice By the waist and pulled him toward him. Mr. Dice Blushed, smiled proudly and gave me a thumbs up.

I closed my eyes, the darkness consumed me. I took in deep breaths, reassuring myself that the powers deep inside me wouldn't harm me again. I touch the small scars on my side, my powers cracked me.. Every time.
I inhaled deeply for one last time.

It had to work now.

I opened my eyes,

Purple.
My eyes glowed Purple again.

My powers were activated.
I could feel it in my chest.

I shook my hand violently, everyone around me held their breath.

Snake eyes.

But this was no loss.

This was a win in my books.

Snake eyes,

The same roll..

that sold my soul..

Only a day ago.
