Girlfriend From Hell (gxg)

In the beginning

"I summon the devil to make a deal" I whispered. I am inside an empty room of our house doing a ritual to summon the devil, if you're wondering where I got this ritual, well the internet has everything. I have my cape on, sitting in the middle of the circle of lighted candles with a 6 pointed star from a chicken's blood. I don't know if this ritual would work but I'm desperate to make my wife who's 8 mos pregnant to be healthy and I'm scared that her health could end our unborn child's chance to live. I got fired from my job because I couldn't leave my wife at home by herself. I'm drowning in debt so I could buy her medicine and pay for rent. Making a deal with the devil is something I never wished to do but I'm in desperate need of help.

After an hour of trying to summon the devil, I had no luck. I knew that the internet is full of bullshit but hey when you're desperate, you'd try everything no matter how stupid it is.

I stood up from the cirle and started cleaning up the mess I made. Took a shower because I smell so bad from the chicken's blood I was supposed to offer. After a good scrub I started patting dry myself and wore my pajamas.

I slowly laid in bed making sure my wife doesn't wake up, she had no idea about the stupid ritual I made and I would like for it to stay that way. After contemplating on what I should do to pay my debts and make my wife and our child healthy, I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up from the sound of thunder, as I slowly opened my eyes I checked the time, 3:33am it says on my phone. My wife still sleeping. I suddenly felt dry so I got up and headed down the kitchen, as I was making my way downstairs I felt like I've been walking for a good 2 minutes now. We only have a 2-storey home and it takes about literally 15 seconds to go downstairs. Then my surroundings started to go dark until I couldn't see a thing except a light ahead of me. I started to panic. "Maybe the ritual worked and I'm about to face the devil". I said to myself. 'Face the devil' the last words I said made me even nervous.

Crap! This is scaring me. I don't know what to expect. What if the devil looks exactly like from the movie Insidious. With the horns and red face.

"Calm down James. This is what you get for summoning the devil. Face what you summoned. Do it for your family." I encouraged myself.

I walked towards the light. Few more steps and I'll get there.

5 more.

and as if on cue, the light turned off.

I heard foot steps. I can hear it coming closer and closer and....

"Hello James! I heard you calling me."

I saw a guy about 4 inches taller than me. He look handsome, I'm guessing about 30 to 35-ish. Is he the devil?

"Yes James, I'm the devil. Now tell me what do you desire? I have more people I need to make a deal with so hurry up." The guy said.

Wow. For a devil, I didn't think he'd look nice except for his eyes tho, it's too light for my liking, kinda scary if I say. Also I could see he's sort of impatient.

"Uhm so-sorry" I stuttered , still kind of starstrucked with his appearance.

"Yes, I would like to make a deal. I want money..." I heard the devil scoffed. "Typical mortals."

"No I mean, I need money so I can pay my debts and give my wife and my child a good life, and I want my baby to be healthy and so will my wife." I continued.

"And what do I get in return?" He asked.

"Uhm..." I started thinking. "I have chicken blood?" I said, more like a question.

The devil started laughing like I just said something funny. He continued laughing for a good 3 minutes and I could see his eyes watering from laughing too much.

"Ahhh my child" he cooed. "You mortals are such entertainment, but no, I want a soul."

"I'll offer my soul." I answered not really thinking things through.

"It's not that easy mortal. I want your child's soul" He replied, smirking like the devil himself.

"N-n-noo I cant do that please." I pleaded.

"How about this, when your child turns 18, she has to make my son Zykel fall in love with her."

"That's it? But why?" I asked, quite skeptical about the offer.

"There are things that's better left unsaid." He continued.

"It's a deal then. How do I know that my debt has been paid?"

"You'll know when you won't remember about the deal you made with me. So off you go, shake my hand and I'll be on my way." He then offered his hand to me and I shook it.

The next thing I knew is I'm back in my bed at 6:59am.

I just made a deal with the devil.
