You wake up in your bed. You made a deal with him. You put your hand over your heart, taking a deep breath. Your heart was beating so fast. 

Maybe this deal is good.

You look over to your phone for the time. 10:14 am. It was the weekend and you were going to hang out with your friends today. They want to get you out, recently you have just been hidden up in your room, which they did not like. They said it was unusual for you to be locked up. You loved your friends and enjoyed hanging out with them.

You got up and grabbed your towels out of your closet and made your way to your bathroom where you took a long warm shower, clearing your head and thinking over things about the deal. While you had your eyes shut rinsing out the shampoo in your hair you saw a triangle outline glowing blue in your head. You opened your eyes quickly causing shampoo to get into your eyes. You shut your eyes again while you were running your face under the water to get the shampoo out. You saw it again.

Great, now not only were you constantly thinking about Bill, you saw his symbol everywhere. Just what you needed.

You got out of the shower, wrapping yourself in a towel. You stood in front of the bathroom mirror, you brushed out your tangled wet hair, you applied product and combed that through your hair. While you were drying your hair you saw a glowing blue triangle in the corner of your eyes, but when you went to get a direct look at it, it disappeared.

No. You are not going to be thinking about the damned triangle at all today. No distractions when you are with your friends.

You told yourself this. You didn't want your friends to think you were ignoring them. There just had been a lot going through your mind recently. It was kind of hard to explain, and you don't think they really believed the whole 'There has just been a lot of school work' excuse.

Once you finished drying your hair you went to your bedroom. You put on a cute outfit and did your make-up. You even did your hair in a ponytail. When you looked in the tall mirror you actually looked really cute. You wore a black skirt, a white shirt with black cursive letters spelling out 'Perfection' it had a not tied in the front, black knee-high socks, and a pair of cute black boots.

When you checked the time on your phone, 11:58 am. It only took you over an hour to get ready.

"Wow a world record" You said to yourself, chuckling a bit at your lame joke.

You looked back up in the mirror touching up a couple things, like some stray hairs, or uneven mascara.

You went to your phone to take some cute photos for your Instagram. While you were doing so your phone started to glitch out then everything went grey except for yourself and the yellow isosceles triangle that had appeared in front of you.

"Hey kid, you got a minute? Of course you do! You are frozen in time!" He laughed at his lame joke. You just rolled your eyes.

"What do you want?" You crossed your arms looking up at him with a bored expression. You really hated this triangle. You didn't exactly know why but you did find him annoying and very, pushy.

"I need you to collect a couple things for me today" He says floating closer to you. "Just a couple of things. It should not take up to much of your time." He said making his cane appear and swirling it around.

"I can't Bill. I'm busy today" You say applying more mascara to your eyelashes.

"Well unless you don't want to keep your end of the deal then don't get what I want' He says crossing his arms.

You sigh then respond, "What do you want" You close your mascara and look over to him.

"I'm gonna need a couple of things. I need the sap from a dragon's blood tree, the pedals off a franklin tree flower, and deer antlers." He says as if it were so simple to get any of those.

"I can't even get those!" You bellowed. "I don't even think I can get those things here!" You declared to the demon. "It's impossible"

He rolls his eyes, "You immortals are to ridiculous. I'll take you to where you need" He swings his hat around and bows to you "I am at your service"

"Can't this wait a till tomorrow? You know when I am not busy?" You ask crossing your arms looking up to him.

"Unfortunately for you toots, the sooner I get this the better it is for us both" He looks back up to you with his one eye. "You will just have to make your stops between the times you are hanging out with your friends."

"Who said I was going to hang out with friends?" You cross your arms holding a sassy pose.

"Nobody did" He said with a smirk on his 'face'. "Mind reading darling." he finished his statement off with a wink.

You scoffed and turned around. "I'll get the stuff, if you put me back into reality" You said with an eye roll.

"As you wish dear" he said and with a snap everything went back to color. You then heard a knock at the door. The door opened revealing your mother, you panicked a bit knowing Bill was next to you. When your mother walked in you look at Bill then to your mother. Your mother looked to you saying, "What time do you need to get out of here?" You looked over at Bill, then you calmed down realizing she could not see him. "Me and my friends are meeting up at the mall at 12:30." you looked at your phone "I guess we could leave 12:15" You say peaking over at Bill. "Alright" she turns around and walks out.

You look back over towards him "I forgot she can't see you" you tell him in a whisper, in fear that your mother may still be around.

"Kid do you really think I would let myself be seen?" He snickers a bit, a yellow gleam surrounding his body with each snicker.

You look away rolling your eyes. "I don't know if I'm going to be able to get all the things you need by the end of that day" You say while gathering your stuff to leave.

"Of course you will kid" He says in a cheerful tone. "Otherwise the deal will be off" He says more seriously. "Now we wouldn't want that would we?" he continues in a threatening tone.

You really wanting to be able to do all you want in life respond to him, "Of course not."
