Numb

chapter 6

I walked down the street after storming out of Yurio's house. One thing was on my mind: revenge. It clouded all of my senses and fogged my mind. I started to blindly turn down streets and soon found myself lost. Then I was snapped out of my haze by a blood piecing scream.

I ran to the source of the noise. I went into a building and found a young girl lying on the ground bloody surrounded by five or so people. Then all the sudden everything went black and I heard a voice.

"Tell me, what is it you desire to accomplish?"

I look around to find the source of the voice in vain, "What do you mean?"

"You seek revenge for something, don't you?" I could tell they were smirking at me.

"How did you know?"

"I can smell it on your soul. Do you care to make a contract with me? I will help you get your revenge and in return I will get your soul."

"What are you? Show yourself to me!" A tall dark figure loomed just beyond my field of vision.

"I'm a demon," he paused, "So do we have a contract or not?"

I could find Yuri's killer now! Is it worth it though?... "Yes, we do."

"Be warned... Should you reject the faith even this once, the gates of paradise with forever be closed to you."

"It's worth it. Now demon let us form your so called contract."

"Good." He walked closer and offered out his hand. I could see a row of razor sharp teeth and his elongated black nails. The most shocking feturewas his blood red eyes which seem to have wisps of a lighter red floating about in them. Almost as if all the souls he has eaten so far were swimming in his eyes. Suddenly, I felt a pain on the inside of my right hand. I looked at my hand to discover that a strange symbol was carved into it. "Now, let's get out of here." In a flash I was back on the street. The man stood next to me.

"H-how?!" I looked down at the sidewalk. How did we get here? My breath started to get heavier and my vision went fuzzy.

"Calm down human," the demon stared down at me, "I told you I was a demon and a demon that could not do this much is useless."

I don't know what I just got myself into but I don't think it is going to be good. "Oh, yeah."

"Now that we are out of there, where do you live? We should get our formalities out of the way."

"I live just down town." In a second he swooped me in his arms and took off running. I yelled my address out and within a minute we were back at my house. He set me down; we walk in and I move to the living area.

"So, tell me , what is your name or what would you like me to call you?"

"I'm Victor Nikiforov but friends call me Vitya so I guess you can as well."

"Okay Vitya what do you wish to call me?"

"Uhh... your name?"

"No, what is my name that you wish to call me?"

"What do you mean? Like a code name?"

"My master gets to chose what my new name is every time. So what is my name?"

"Well what did your previous master call you?"

"I have gone by many names. My previous master called me Claus. The one before her called me William. The one before that called me Sebastian. Take your pick."

"Sounds good enough I guess." I didn't want to give this guy a name. It made me feel like he was a dog or something. "I guess Sebastian sounds good. It makes you seem like a butler or something." I inwardly laughed.

"Something like that I guess. I am qualified to be one hell of a butler if that's what you want me to be."

I scratched my head at him, "You literally will become anything I want you to be?"

Sighing he looked me in the eyes, "Yes, Vitya, that is the contract we signed. Now what is it you wish for me to be?"

"You will probably have to be someone close to me. Like a long lost brother or cousin or something. I need to be able to give a reason as to why you would be staying with me." I thought about it as he just stared at me, waiting for an answer. Then it hit me, "I will have you be my new boyfriend! That way everyone will think I am over Yuri's death and we can move without supicous looks."

"Okay, and what is it you wish to accomplish?"

I stepped closer to Sebastian, I was inches away from his face, "I want revenge on the person who murdered my fiance."

"Ahh, revenge. I love it." A small smile formed on his face, showing off his sharp white teeth.

I honestly do not understand what I have just gotten myself into but if this "man" can help me solve who killed Yuri I will go with it. Already things are starting to look better for me. I finally found someone to help and it only costed my soul.
