Only If you swear...

Chapter Six

Now, on with the task. If I manage to save Becca, she is totally buying me McDonald's. Totally. "What's this task I have to do?" Cass laughed at my bluntness. She gazed at me, "Well, we have to rid the world of what she has done and, according to the book, hell must keep a human. Whether it is her or not. Hell must have it's human." I looked blankly at her I was thinking about saying 'you know what screw you, Becca, I'm out. You cheap non-mcdonalds-buyer' but I managed to swallow my opinion, "Seems to me hell really loves its humans." Cass laughed at that, I thought it was odd though how she had the same smile as my mother. MOTHER! "CASS! MY MOTHER! TIME, OHHHHH NOOO OH HELL NO!" I managed to screech out. Cass erupted in laughter "I take it you've realised that time is passing on Earth as it is in Hell?" I nodded "Chill out, we're good. We have an hour. Once this whole thing is over, you'll go back." She seemed to be quite sad about that. Really sad actually. "Where am I meant to get a human from?" Cass looked at me with sadness in her eyes, "Hun, I'm part human. I know how it feels. But you see the only other human descent here is, well, you." My eyes widened. "So, can you just stay here forever?" She winced. "Sorry, I'm not considered fully human so no. And also, I already live in hell so technically I'm already a resident." I sighed sadly, so this is how it plays out. "I need to check that you're fully human so show me your arm," She demanded, although more in a motherly manner than a spiteful one. I handed her my left arm, and she poured this black and red liquid over it as it spelt out 'half fang' whatever that meant, but it must mean something bad because of Cass' eyes lighting up and basically yelling. "Oh. This is not good." She murmured to herself, I assume as she wasn't speaking directly to me. "What isn't good?" She poured the liquid over her right arm and the black liquid melted and altered to form words, 'half fang' OH. I NOW UNDERSTAND. "YOU MEAN TO, NOT REALLY BUT KIND OF, TELL ME IM ONE OF YOU?" Cass glared "I'm offended that you sound offended." She seemed to always be offended. "Well, that must mean my dad or mom is one of you because no way would my mother get down with some demon freak." Should not have said that. Should not have said that. "Demon freak? That freak is my father." She spoke highly of her father, 'The devil' as she had called him. Whether that was because she loved him dearly or because she was afraid of him is unknown to me, wait a second. "What do you mean by your father?" She sighed, honestly I was expecting a sarcastic answer but everyone gets sick sometimes, "My father always made it known that I had another sibling, but she wasn't evil looking so they ditched her and 'gave her to the pesky human that birthed her' his words, not mine, I always wanted a sister and there is a way to find out your parents, if you want to?" This girl - if indeed hellians had genders, had just poured out her heart, so I may as well fill it back up, "Sure." She smiled at that. "Great! I'll get the liquid!" I smirked, "Why, oh why, Must EVERYTHING in hell be in liquid form?" She laughed, a bowl of green crystal water crashed into her hand but not spilling in the slightest. "Right, let's do this,"
