Void

Chapter 1- "You made a deal with me boy..."

So this is what death feels like. Almost peaceful like. Anyway, I'm Void, or at least that's what I remember being called before I died at the ripe age of 16. My body is hot, almost as if it was on fire. But as I ascend to those pearly white gates, a black figure came out from below and pulled me downwards. A scratchy voice came the figure and proclaimed, “You made a deal with me boy, when you performed that ritual you were mine fo’ the taking,” “Wha-” “Don’t talk over me boy, WE goin’ to my domain!” Just then we started to air dive straight into the ground penetrating the earth itself to reveal what one would assume it to be; Hell.

When we entered the underworld my memories came to me...I died in a fire or at least I think I did because I passed out after completing the ritual. In some stupid attempt of a joke, I thought contacting the devil would be a good idea. Little did I know that I actually did make a bargain with the Devil himself. As we’re still flying over the hellish landscape, he released me from his clutches stating “Meet me at my place, you and me gots some business to discuss.” As I’m falling into eternal damnation, I hit a multitude of buildings hitting the hot pavement. I felt my blood quickly rush out of my body through hole it could, with my body twisted and contorted from the fall, I felt everything twist itself back into place. This gruesome sight caused me to faint for what felt like a hour.

After recovering, I started to question everything think it was just a dream but, alas to no avail, this was no dream...I’m actually dead. After realising this, instead of crying like anyone else in this situation, I got furiated. “SATAN! I’M COMING FOR YOU!” I screamed. I quickly regretted that decision, a legion of what I assumed were either the army of the undead or demons, quickly surrounded me. I heard one of the demons screech “FRESH MEAT BOYS!” Hearing this made my body enter a flight or fight mode. I thought if could take down the biggest guy, they'll back off, but as it turns out, they’re all the same size compared to me. So I went into flight mode. After running for god knows how long, I was able to lose them in an alleyway.

“So you’re the new blood everyone’s talking about” Her smooth voice almost frightened me for it was the closest thing I’ve been to heaven since I’ve been here. “Who are you?”
