Jeff's pov
It's been a couple days after we meet Valefor. Jane has nightmares every night. I try asking her about them but she just leaves for an hour or two. I wonder where she goes. One day, I followed her and she went to her family's grave.
"Jane...", I said.
"Go away.", she said.
I kneel down next to Jane.
"What's wrong?", I asked.
"I want to be left alone, Jeff. Go away.", she said.
She was crying. I got up and kissed her forehead.
"If that's what you want.", I said.
I left and went to the hospital.
In the hospital
Violet's pov
"Hi, Violet.", Jeff said.
Dad came. "Where's mom? I didn't hear her come in.", I said.
"Violet, something is wrong. I can feel it. She just won't tell me.", he said.
I heard my mom come in. She kissed my forehead. Someone else came in.
"I see you didn't like my gift, Janey.", valefor said.
"It tried to kill me.", she said.
"But you always wanted it.", valefor said.
"I didn't want that. I didn't want it to be like that.", she said.
Jeff looked over at Jane.
"It?", he asked.
"Jane was pregnant and killed the baby.", valefor said.
Jane turned to face Jeff.
"I'm so sorry.", she said.
"Why?", he asked.
"It was killing me. It was eating and ripping my inside. Jeff, the baby was no longer our. It was a demon.", she said.
Jane fell into Jeff's arm crying.
"Jane, it's okay.", he said.
I ripped off my bandage that covered my mouth.
"Valefor, what was your deal?", I asked.
I heard my parents telling me no.
"I will give you back your normal skin. You won't have any scars or burnt marks. It would be like you were never burnt.", valefor said.
"What's the catch?", I asked.
"I get your soul.", valefor said.
"When?", I asked.
"Ten years. What are you sixteen?", valefor said.
"Yes.", I said.
"You'll have enough time to get married and have kids or take revenge.", valefor said.
"Deal.", I said.
Valefor put his hand on me then kissed me. Then he left. I took off my bandages. I went to the bathroom. I saw myself in the mirror. I looked like I normally did. I went back to the room.
"Okay, let's go.", I said.
My mom looked at me. My dad came up to me.
"Do you know what you just did?", he asked.
