I saw everything happened a year ago when his bullies raped him and left him for dead. I didn’t do anything to stop it because I didn’t smell that scent of death coming from him. I knew he’ll be alive. A year was gone only to make sure that his heart is filled with hatred and revenge towards them. And who was it that tempted those bullies to hurt him, to make him suffer, to make him have something to trade his soul with? Me! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the culprit! Me, the cunning devil! Everything goes according to plan… Now, the only thing left is for him to agree on trading his soul for a wish…
“What is your wish?” I asked him as I walk closer to him.
He does not know who I am but he doesn’t seem to care as he answers; “Death.”
I smile my charming cunning smile at him. The usual devilish thing I’ll do… “Settled for less, then?” I asked again all composed.
“Yes,” he simply answered.
“How ‘bout revenge?” I asked, seducing his tainted heart to reconsider. The very heart I tainted… He did not answer me. He just stares into space uncaringly. His eyes are full of sadness. “I promise they will suffer more than you,” I tempted him again. He still did not give me an answer. I only smile slyly to myself and sits beside him. “And you’ll get to see them fall one by one…” I said with the most seductive tone ever whispered to his ears.
“Death. That is my wish,” he said, being stern about his very wish. I’m getting a bit impatience but I maintain my cool.
“Revenge first. Then, death. Sounds nice?” I tempted him again.
He then looks at me with his eyes narrowed. “What’s the catch?” He asked.
I smile. A good question indeed. “You. Your soul. Your body. They will all belong to me,” I said. He looks away as he snorts a little at me but he didn’t say anything. “Sounds nice?” I asked. He is quiet for a while before he finally gives me the answer I’ve been longing to hear…

“Sounds nice,” Trance said as he follows me into the dark. “So are all those who trade souls with you became your slaves?” He asked.
“Slaves?” I make a face at his question. “There’s better word for that. I’d call them ‘assistants’, my dear,” I said to him.
“But we will work for you for eternity and there’s no chance for escape,” he stated the obvious with an uncaring attitude. I only smirk at him. “So what’s my job?” He asked.
“You? Let’s see…” I started. “You get to lie on bed all day like a good housewife waiting for me to come home,” I said and then I flash him one of my devious smiles. He only smiles back at me, feeling amused I supposed. He must’ve think I’m joking. “Sounds nice?” I asked.
He chuckles a little and then he sighs as he looks deep into my eyes. “Sounds brilliant”, he answered as he lifts up his face a little to receive a kiss from me.
