A bargain with the devil (also known as a Faustian bargain or Mephistophelian bargain) is a cultural motif in European folklore, best exemplified by the legend of Faust and the figure of Mephistopheles, and is central to many Christian traditions. The pact is between a person and Satan or a lesser demon, according to traditional Christian beliefs about witchcraft. In exchange for diabolical favors, the person offers their soul. Those favors vary depending on the story, but they usually include youth, knowledge, wealth, fame, or power.



It says that you can sold your soul or get your soul into a contract and in exchange of your soul is that you can wish for what you have desired in life. They will give a due date for them to collect your soul. I was in deep thought of that thing. The god above gives you no choice but just to live and keep going while the underworld gives you a choice but in return was more terrifying to accept. Could it be true? But if it is then are there or at least one person living here experience this thing and just waiting for her or his dues? If it is there I want to meet him. I want to talk to that person before the last day of his or her life. I also have seen movies about angels and devils. Devils who lure a person to do such things for them. Words that cannot be resisted by a human especially if talks about the money. People are easily baited when it comes to money. Wealth excites the blood of the human. It sparkles their eyes and then agreed in the end without them totally imagining what will going to happen to them. If you are normal and can think straight you will come into a straight point that you can't bring your wealth when you die. All of your money will be meaningless but come to think of it the desires of the human. They are not thinking of how will things work in the end. And in the final point of your life you will see your destination that you have agreed on.



"Nevertheless, my life is worthless so I'd rather sign my life into death. Come and take me."



A wind suddenly blew my hair. The wind was soft but it slowly turned into an icy and chilly one that seeps through my skin. I then realize what words came out of my mouth? Have I lost my mind? Even though it is way too much impossible to think such a thought but who know it might be true. I am all alone and I am scared.



"Nevertheless, my life is worthless so I'd rather sign my life into death. Come and take me," a deep husky voice spoke behind me which cause me to stiff from where I was standing. I can't move my legs even though my brain tells me so. I don't even know if I am still breathing or I am in normal breathing.



He slowly walks in my front and I heard every steps he makes through the clicks of his shoes. And from the sound I believe it is a luxurious one just like what I see in the movies. What the heck I am thinking? Is this the devil walking near me? Did he heard my prayers? Why so suddenly? Why so fast? Why is he here already? I was just thinking. It was just a thought.



I closed my eyes and think I was just in a dream. I maybe crazy right now and a coward but I am not ready to die. I don't want to die. I will struggle. I will get what my dreams are even if it takes me in a hardship task. I don't want to die. I don't want to sell my soul in exchange of everything but... but it slips in my mind the reality. I can mirror myself of how pity my situation is. I don't enjoy life everyday because I was focus on how to survive just for a day. Sometimes even though it is bad trait to get jealous over a thing I just can't help my emotions not to be. But I get stronger.


This man behind me walking slowly in front of me. Is he the answer of my prayers that even gods' above don't hear? Is the devil only the answer of my prayers? But it will let me into danger.



Then the sound of his walks stops and I bet he is now in front of me. Should I open my eyes and see the reaper with a contract in his hands? How did he heard me? I was whispering the hell out of me. So he is true? I slowly open my eyes and my fingers were fidgeting and my hands are cold.



"You said your life is worthless and you would rather sign your life into death but I know in running in your blood that you want to have a wish. In this case you don't care for your life anymore sweetie so I guess it is better to tell me what you desire and let us begin the contract," he said and every words that comes out from his mouth was clear, elegant and icy that makes your heart stung in every words he said.



Wait, he looks familiar. I have seen him. My heart beats faster as I roamed my eyes in every inch of his face.



"W-wait... you're the one w-who ask me d-directions r-right?" I was stammering in saying those words because his presence is strong and you can't even see any emotions in his eyes. His eyes were called and dominant that it makes you shy to look at him directly in the eyes. It was not as I imagined a devil should be. A scythe holding in his hand and a scary face but instead he is a drop dead gorgeous man that keeps running in my mind and now he is in front of me.





"Why so scared kitten?"
