Beatrice’s pov
It's been days since I've seen my best friend and I'm going mad. I can't live without that little piece of shit.
"Dannniiiii" I screamed into my phone
"LUNNNAAAA SWEETHEART" she yelled back
"I miss you, get your ass over h-" there was a knock on my window. I looked over to see Lily waving at me with a smile on her face and her phone in her hand. I laughed to myself and opened the window
"We have a door!"
"I know" she smirked
"I have a problem" I pouted
You see, back In hell I had a job. I didn't enjoy it that much but it was something to keep a girl busy.
Here on the plains of earth, everyone goes through a tough time, am I right?
Some get into trouble, some get into debt and some desire to be 'famous' but end up working for minimum wage, 9 hours a day
Your desires make you think it's fine.
A deal with the devil was always a myth to humans, the Illuminati, selling your souls, but it's actually true. And I was the creator.
Unfortunately I never actually came to earth. I sent a few loyal servants of the underworld to do my bidding of collecting souls.
All it takes is a signature, tears or a drop of blood and your soul belongs to my collection forever. Your prize is whatever you wish you can achieve.
There IS a limit to your wishes, there's nothing that can affect the laws of physics or most importantly, piss off the big guy upstairs.
When time runs out, your soul is trapped in the underworld and you work for me. Sometimes my sensitive side get in the way of my work but Olivia kept me in check
Before I slept last night, my father called on the mirror. I'll send him a phone soon, maybe he'll use tinder and get himself a wife.
I may have told him about Bella and I, but it wasn't anything serious between us. There was a lot more soul searching I needed to do with that girl
He made it his duty to tease the living fuck out of me.
Then he mentioned my work, he said I was ready to finally enter the space of a deal. I had no idea how to feel about it. On one hand, I was giving someone their dream, but at a dark cost.It was pulling me apart but time was ticking.I needed to pull myself together, I'm the daughter of the most cynical man there is. Billions are terrified of the thought of him, his blood lives in me.
"It's my time to shine" I chuckled
"What do you mean?"
"I have a deal to make, and this time he's actually sending me" I say
"Oh-" her face fell "Do you want to?"
"I do, it's what I was made to do" I say
"Then get in character" she chuckled, I smiled and took a deep breath in
"How's this?" I closed my eyes and let my body take control, a stinging pain came from my back and head.
I groaned in pain as the two chucks of bone burst through my skull. I always kept it hidden unless it was really necessary, my horns aren't something the humans would consider normal.
I hissed in pain as the structure of my wings burst from my back. It's like they had a mind of its own sometimes. The black feathers shuddered as it adjusted to its surroundings. My wings were slightly bigger than I was, they trembled and pulled together, awaiting it's time to sore.
"Are you ready?" Lily asked
"Not yet," I said, exhaling deeply and finally opening my eyes. The sclera and my pupils were jet black. My hair flowed down my back. I held my signature smirk
"Ready"
I closed my eyes once again, it was easier to use my powers in my true form. My vision became cloudy as I felt my body become light.
My eyes opened to reveal the hopeless soul on her knees. I was pressed against the wall in a dark corner. I observed the girl that prayed to her saviour against her bed.I slowly stepped closer to her
"I never intended on things to get this bad, God I'm not a sinner but there's nothing left for me to do about this" the girl pleaded
"You're wasting my time sweetheart" I smirked, the girl stumbled backwards in fight
"Who are you! How did you get in here!" she yelled. I chuckled at her fear, It was fuel to my business
"You wanted a deal with the devil, well I'm here" I smirked
"Are- are you the-"
"Daughter actually" I chuckled, the woman's mouth fell. Her chest heaved heavily, I could see the panic in her eyes
"I'm not here for small talk, Jessica" I smirked, her eyes went wide at the sound of her name
"How do you-"
"Know your name? I know everything about you sweetheart. I know you want to be a big star, your dad is in the hospital fighting for his life and no-one seems to give you the respect you deserve. Am I right?" I raised a brow . She slowly nodded her head.
"I'm here to make your life better. All of this pain you're feeling will go away with a snap of the finger"
"How do I know you're telling the truth"
I groaned, she's wasting my time.
"Do I look like I would lie to you Jess?" I questioned
"I don't kn-"
"You have 5 seconds Jessica." I snapped
"What, no i-"
"Five"
"Wait please-"
"Four"
"Okay fine! How do I do this" I smirked
"Come here" she slowly brought herself up from the ground and stood before me, her eyes trailed over my features
"You're beautiful" she whispered, I cocked a brow at her words. She's a beautiful soul both insides and out. It's such a shame she was given these unfortunate situations to deal with
A mother who's life was short lost, she had to maintain her and her brother's living by working In a supermarket since her father was on his deathbed. It's enough to make a demon cry, but not this demon
"Your mom would be proud of you" I mumbled, her eyes locked with mine
"Can you talk to her?" she asked with hope in her voice
"I know she would" she nodded sadly
I took her hand in mine and flipped over her palm
"Are you ready?" I asked
"Everything's gonna change?" she asked
"Yes" she nodded giving me permission
My finger hovered over her palm and drew a circle. She hissed in pain as her flesh sliced, I drew a 5 points star to finish the signature. Her blood ran over the imprint
"Something to remind you of your decision, it's only visible to the both of us" I explained
"Jessica, use this to your advantage. I don't want power to get to your head, use it to live comfortably" I warned. She nodded
Her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. She pulled the gadget to her ear
"Hello? Yes this her-" Jessica's face fell as she listened to the person on the other end
"I'll be there right now" she said and ended the call, I smiled
"That was.. The doctor... They said it was like they just witnessed a miracle.. My father.. He's... He's gonna be okay" Jessaid whispered, tears streamed down her cheek. I brought my fingers to her face and wiped them away
"It's all you, you're brave enough to sacrifice your life for others. Go see your father Jessica" I smiled
I closed my eyes taking a deep breath in. I opened them once again to find myself back in my bedroom. My horns slowly shrunk back into my skull and my wings disappeared into my skin
"How was it?" Lily asked, my neck whipped towards her
"It was amazing"
