Horror Prompt  #42 (You sold your soul to the devil years ago. Today he gives it back to you and says, "I need a favour")

Not everyone gets a second chance at life. For that, some would call Marcus Taylor one of the luckiest men alive; but he would beg to differ. Just as things were starting to up, the devil comes calling to retrieve a favour he is owed. 
It had been five years since they had first met, and now with new friends, the love of his life and a baby on the way. Marcus has everything to lose and no right to refuse. 
The devil's children have taken a liking to earth, and with no one to watch the many circles of hell, it will be up to Marcus to find and hunt down their seven deadly souls in exchange for his own. 
"So when the devil wants to dance with you, you'd better say never- because a dance with the devil might last you forever." - Dance with the devil by Immortal Technique (2001)
