Keagan rolled around in his bed,He couldnt sleep after that encounter with lucy.
He had so many questions that needed to be answered, Like:
What did lucy mean when she said "The future is in Danger?"
And why did she talk to keagan of all people.
(Dammit!) He thought

He got up from his bed and went to the mirror And looked at his reflection
He lopked at his rugged face and sleep wrinkles And suddenly
"Hahahaha" his reflection started moving.
"What the-" keagan was cut off
His reflection came out of the mirror and stood right in front of him!
It stared him blank in the eyes.

They looked at each other.
"W-what are you?" keagan asked
"Haha"It laughed
"Grk!" Then it walked towards keagan and grabbed his neck,Suffocating him
"Listen well child. I am Anamosa! the demon who grants power" anamosa said
He was the same demon that granted his father, powers
"What do you want with me?" kegan said faintly as he was still
"Frankly, your dad died before he could finish his contract"
"My dad had a contract with a demon?" Keagan was suprised and shocked. "Yes how do you think he got so muscular? Did you ever see him go to the gym?" The demon joked
Keagan didnt think it was very funny.

"... anyway as I was saying your father died before he could finish his contract, so Im going to carry it on through you!"
"Wait what?" Keagan said
"Hahaha"
The demon laughed
"The problem is that his spirit inside of you isn't letting me inside you, so I need you to sign this contract."
The demon suddenly pulled out a contract seemingly out of nowhere.
"Just sign here." he said
Keagan was no fool so he looked at it thoroughly.
(Hmmm my father had already did 25 years and there are 15 years left to his contract) he thought
But what really caught his eye
Was (what?I have to give up a bit of my soul every year)
It all made sense, his father had been progressively getting colder and distant each year and thats why
"Can I have some time to think about it?" Keagan said to the demon
"Hahahahahaha sure. As much time as a deadman."

The demon walked back into the mirror and disappeared within it's reflection.
Leaving keagan alone with his thoughts.
