"H-hell???" She squeaked. She couldn't stop shaking even if she wanted to.

Seeing the shock in her eyes 'Lucifer' corrected himself.

"Well, it's not actually Hell. It's a simulation of what hell is. Although it's not even 0.1 times as awful. It was created so that I may freely speak, reward and punish those who live, should I need to." His eyes darkened and he shot a glare at her.

"You mean... I'm not dead...?" She asked, although not exactly relieved.

"Of course not! No living soul can survive in Hell. Their lungs would burst like a balloon, among several other things. It's quite lovely to watch. One of my favorite torture techniques."

She wanted to cover her ears. She didn't want to hear anymore. Yet his gaze had her stuck in place.

"But I've already said too much." He stretched himself out, as if this were all just a normal day for him.

"Why am I here?! I don't want to be sent to the down to Hell!"

"Shut it." He said calmly.

Scarlett shuddered, her eyes widening in terror as blood ran slowly down her nose, tickling her skin as it moved.

"Oops. I got carried away." He said, shrugging. "It could have been much worse however. Imagine any wound, I can make it happen. As for you being sent down to Hell... Well that's rubbish. Hell is in a completely different dimension than Earth. Let's just say that death is simply a portal between Earth, Heaven and Hell." Lucifer yawned. "But let's get down to business. I've come simply to tell you that you're not going to live much longer."

She stared, shocked.

"Keep living the way you do, and you'll be seeing me in Hell very soon." He chuckled. "It's already gone too far, there's almost no way to stop your death. That's where I come in. I can strike you a deal  to ensure that you have a full life, as well as a one way ticket to the Overworld. The only downside for you is that you must be my pawn." He finished.

Seeing the interest in her eyes he went on "This isn't going to be easy for you. In order for the deal to be complete. You must bring me five human organs."

She choked on her breath as he continued, "Kill to live. Like an animal. Be the wolf, and hunt your prey. Consider this to be your own personal purgatory."

Her head spinning, Scarlett blacked out.
