The Basement....

Later that day I arrived to work at The Little

Ray of Sunshine cafe, run by Mrs Ray. She was

in her late fifties, but didn't look a day over

forty! She was five foot four, had soft caramel

blonde hair and the greenest eyes I had ever

seen.

I arrived slightly late today, due to meeting

the so called devil, what was really bugging

me was the fact that I didn't even know what

he looked like, only that he had dangerous

red eyes. Running into the cafe, I squeezed

past the long line of customers where Mrs

Ray greeted me with a warm smile. I quickly

apologised for my tardiness. Damn the devil..

"You wouldn't believe the morning I've had,"I

said whilst putting on the little black apron, I

tied it around my waist and grabbed a tray to

clear up some empty tables.

"We all have our bad days child," Mrs Ray

said softly, "now get back to work before I fire

your ***!" Amusement twinkled in her old

eyes, lighting them up. This let me know she

wasn't being serious, I smiled genuinely at the

women I had known for the past five years.

A few hours later, Mrs Ray called me to

the back room, "can you be a dear and go

down to the basement for some tea bags and

coffee?" She looked very busy chopping some

vegetables up.

"Yeah sure, want anything else?" I asked

opening the door to the dark, creepy, spider

infested basement.

"No, just coffee and tea bags dear." I

descended down the squeaky staircase, upon

reaching the bottom, I pulled the light switch,

but nothing happened. I repeated it a few

times to make sure the cord was actually

working. Just my luck, now I have to find the

tea bags in the pitch black! The strangest thing

was the fact that Mr Ray had changed the

light only last week!

Turning round to climb back up the stairs not

bothering with getting the supplies, I heard

a voice that sent shivers down my spine and

not in a good way. The voice had me stopping

dead in my tracks. "Scared of the dark? Isn't

that just adorable, my little angel's afraid."

My heart rate was beating so fast, I couldn't

breathe, depriving my body of sweet oxygen

as I felt my air ways closing up.

"W-what are y-you doing here? Go away!" I

shouted into the dark nearly hyperventilating.

"I wanted a cup of coffee. Why else would I be

here?" I couldn't tell if he was being serious,

or if he was extremely good at using sarcasm,

but I'm going to bet it was the latter as he

stepped into the only light available. Light

that was being provided by the opening up the

top of the stairs. His cloak in place masking

his appearance.

"If you wanted coffee, why aren't you

upstairs?" The man shook his head from

side to side, chuckling softly to himself, his

red eyes glowing with amusement. "Why

won't you take your cloak off?" I covered my

mouth with my hand, realising I had asked

the question out loud, I began backing myself

away from him slowly, feeling my feet bump

into the first step of the stairs, if looks could

kill, well let's just say I'd be 6 foot under by

now.

"If you know what I looked like, it would ruin

my fun. You see I could pass by you in a street,

sit next to you on a bus and you wouldn't

have the faintest idea it was me!" He paused

slightly. "Also, I happen to be fully aware that

the cloak I wear often causes people, mainly

humans, to fear me more, that's what humans

do you see, they fear the unknown." I snorted

at his explanation.

"One, I don't think the average, normal person

would have blood red eyes, do you? Two..

again with the dramatics, really? I must

be special to be graced with the almighty

Lucifers presence twice in one day." I paused

watching the amusement fade out of his

demonic red eyes. "Three... I said quaking in my

boots! Your cloak is sooo scary!" With that I

ran for my life up the stairs...
