The room was black and white. It was, say, a modern style office. On the walls, there were a bunch of pictures of a devil with a pitchfork. They all had his face. The name Mephisto was written across all of them.
"Mephisto, huh?" I said, looking around.
"Yeah," he grinned. "Mephisto, short for Mephistocles." Seeing that I didn't understand his point, he explained further. "The Old Man Down Below... the King of the Underworld..." Seeing that his explaining still didn't help me understand, he looked down at the ground and chuckled slightly. "The Devil," he said bluntly.
I came to realization.
"Yeah, that's me." He looked up, admiring the pictures of himself. "Of course, on a daily basis..."
I left the room in the middle of his sentence, without him realizing it. I didn't know where I was going and I got lost within a matter of minutes. I sat down against a wall.What am I even doing here? This is crazy, I thought. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I mean yeah, I had some weird visions. And I had blackouts at night. And there was the the fact that I came back from the dead. That was peculiar. But this... this was just insane. I couldn't be the daughter of the Devil himself.
"Yeah, this is crazy," said someone standing over me. I looked up and there he was.
"How did you find me so quickly? And did you just read my mind?" I asked, annoyed.
"For one, I know this place like the back of my hand," he replied. "For two, you really think you can hide from the Devil? I teleported, of course. And maybe I read your mind, maybe I didn't.."
"Haha, tell me how you really got here that quickly."
"You really don't trust easily, do you?" He squinted at me.
I looked down at the floor. He was right. I don't trust easily. I never have. "Well, that's one thing we have in common," he said, stretching out his hand. I looked at it, contemplating whether I should take it or not.
"I don't bite," he said. "I mean, I do feed off of mortal souls, but I don't need to bite to do that, do I?" He laughed. I took his hand and he helped me up. "So, what do you want to learn first, my dear?"
