Bloodlock

"Would you be interested in making a deal with me?" the man asked. Even with a gun in his face, he remained calm and collected.

"What kind of deal?"

"It's quite simple. I'll give you anything your heart desires in exchange for your soul," he said.

I laughed at his words. "In exchange for my soul?"

"Have you ever felt like something was missing in your life, Gavin?" he asked, attempting to persuade me. I'm certain that I have never met this man in my life. How could he know my name?

My suspicion of him grew immensely when I noticed the look in his eyes. The feeling of deceit overthrew me. "Who are you?" I asked aggressively.

"I go by many names, take your pick," he answered fluently. The expression he had on his face told me that he wasn't playing any games. Could I really be speaking to the Devil?

"Make me a God!" I demanded, instantly testing my boundaries.

Amused by my statement, he busted out laughing. "I can't make you a God, but I can give you magnificent power," he said. "I can make you invincible to any mortal, if that's what you desire,"

"You mean, I won't die?" I asked, finally lowering the gun. Blood rushed to my arm as I did.

"You could live forever under one condition; if anyone finds out you have this power, you're mine," he held his hand out for me to shake. "Is that a price you're willing to pay?" he asked. He waited patiently for me to think of an answer, but I didn't take too long.

"Fuck it! It's a deal!"
