Episode 2: Contract signed

...

Where am I..

Why are there.. -

Several men in black cloaks surrounding me..? -

I almost don't see a thing..

"Ren, Ren, Ren.. Do you remember me?"

"I don't know who you are, and I don't care about it." I said, aggressively.

(Slapped sound)

I yelped.

"Ren StephenCord, or should I say, BRAT. You've got no rights to speak back to me like that."

"Who told you that I can't speak back to someone like you?"

"Me."

"Since when?"

"Now."

"I am the Queen's watchdog, I have a higher level than you."

"Oh? Don't be so prideful, brat."

"I sure am prideful,"

"I had enough of you. What are you all waiting for? Go ahead and teach that StephenCord Brat a lesson."

(LOUD THUD)

(Moments later, with Ren being jailed up.)

"Ren, You're lucky that I still have a heart towards you. I may have been your father's friend before, and I was supposed to respect his child. You're lucky that I didn't order my men to rip your limbs off and tear you into pieces, Like I do to other children."

I heard that..

Rip my limbs off..

Tear me into peices ..

L-Like the other children..?

N-No..

I looked over at the other jailed children.

They.. They have dull eyes..

But they look like they have the same age as me..

"Ha-ha, I better be going. Important occasion that I have to attend."

The footsteps seem to be gone.

But..

The poor children..

I just can't believe they don't have any sparks on their eyes..

I leaned on the Iron bars.

"Who will save me?

Who's gonna be there for me?

What do I do..?

I have nobody."

"*Or maybe I'll just be like those dull-eyed children.."

Kill them.

Punish them.

Make them feel something more worse than death.

Perish them.

Separate them.

I want to see a show where..

Blood splatters everywhere*.

.. Small footsteps, I heard.

"My, my. What a pure 11 year old that I'd serve."

I turned to the unknown person outside the bars.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"What? You shouldn't be asking that; You summoned me."

Summoned..

"How is that even possible?"

"Well, I'm a demon after all, and you seem and try to seek revenge, I suppose?"

".. Correct."

"Indeed, I am correct. Do you wish to sign a contract with me?"

"What contract?"

"It's almost impossible to explain, but I'll try. Yes, You've summoned me from trying to seek revenge to somebody. Yes, I am a demon. And, once you seek your revenge, You'll give up your soul and body to me; Or maybe, consuming you whole."

"So, If I sign your contract, you will obey me?"

"Certain orders, yes. But I can do more."

"But, my whole manor thinks the last StephenCord relative is dead, which is me.."

"No, it doesn't work with that. It may be confusing, but yes. They'll think that you're dead. I just don't wanna explain anymore, I'll just get an headache."

"I want to know more; To do so, I'll sign your contract. But first, break me free from this jail."

As the unknown demon did so.

"I'm surprised that you weren't shocked or anything about telling you That I'm a demon."

"I'm not used to it, but maybe I just to have an priceless reaction."

"Open your eyes widely." He commanded.

I opened my eyes more wide.

"Now, caress your hand on my palm without getting distracted by anything. Or, just stare at my eyes."

I caressed my hand on the demon's palm while staring at his eyes.

I've gotta admit, this is weird and strange.

"Close your eyes and don't focus on anything."

I closed my eyes, and cleared my mind.

(Ren's right eye started bleeding.)
