Episode 7

Book:Contract with the Prince of Darkness Published:2024-5-1

Say it and I’ll do it.
一I like you… Maybe you deserve to live.
一I’ll do your bidding, my lord.
Louis came close to the man’s ears and spoke, he widened his eyes and held Louis’s work hard.
Not that, please, anything but that.
Be a good boy, and follow my orders, where did your word go?
She’ll die anyway, just like the other one did, and you won’t be able to save her.
Good, you’re the one who chose, you talk too much and that can get in the way of your life, but you don’t have to worry about that, I’ll give you an end, just the way you deserve it.
Louis brings his lips close to the man’s ear and speaks:
一 Fly away little bird.
Louis lets go of the man and disappears.
The man goes all the way to the ground.
Before Ana can see the man fall Louis appears in front of her, his eyes dark orange.
一Don’t look there, you won’t like the look.
His serious look doesn’t let me look at anything else, I can’t say anything to him.
一Why didn’t you obey me? I told you to leave with the book.
What did you do with it?
He chose his ending, I just helped him.
一You killed him… How can you be so cold like that?
一Let’s go. Louis takes Ana’s hand.
Let go of me. Anne pulls his hand away.
Louis looks at Ana with his serious face.
一You go out killing everyone you see?
He was bewitched, and another, I saved your life, you should thank me… a little more education would go a long way with you.
一 Next time you don’t have to save me, do like that girl who had the book and you killed her, a child, I’m not surprised, the way you are I expect nothing less.
Don’t you dare tell me what you don’t know. Louis frowned.
You’re a monster.
Earlier.
Sandra hears knocking at the door, she walks towards it and opens it, she is faced with Louis with his arms crossed.
一But what are you doing here? said Sandra.
一Where’s Ana?
一She went to the market.
一How long has it been?
It’s been a few minutes, why?
Louis enters the apartment and goes to the sofa where Ana’s bag was, he opens it and takes out the book.
一That’s why
一I didn’t know she’d gone without it.
一Damn…
Louis disappears as Sandra walks around worriedly.
***
一And how do you know this? Louis closes his fist.
He slowly approaches her, Sandra takes a few steps back.
一Did you think I wouldn’t find out, did you intend to deceive me? Is that it?
Don’t say what you don’t know, you might regret it later…
一You have no feelings, you’re a monster, so much so that you could kill a child… What do you plan to do to me?
I told you not to say that!
His eyes change color, he disappears into a red smoke.
一Did I go too hard?
***
I appear and punch the wall, causing it to crack.
一But what are you doing? What’s wrong?
一I’m pissed at Ana, she’s so ungrateful I could let her die, but I was an idiot because besides saving her life I heard things I didn’t expect to hear from her… Finish the job.
一You need to drink some chamomile tea.
Louis looks furious at me and I disappear.
***
一What are you doing here?
一Louis?
I turn around quickly hoping to find him but I don’t see anyone.
一Olhe down.
一Zyan what are you doing here?
I’ll take you home, why don’t you have the book?
I went to the market so I didn’t think it was necessary… Since it’s so close to my house.
一As soon as the contract is made, you’re no longer safe. You’re lucky Louis saved you.
一He killed a man… He saves me by killing other people?
一Ana that man was bewitched, he’s no longer human, pay attention a puppet needs to be controlled… he was one. (Refers to the man) ” He wasn’t going back to normal, even if Louis let him live, he would try to kill you again…”
一I was an idiot… Ana runs a hand through her hair
Her eyes fill with tears, Zyan took Ana to the apartment.
Don’t blame yourself, it’s normal to be confused.
Thank you for bringing me back.
一No need to thank me.
When Ana turns to enter the apartment Zyan speaks:
一Just one more thing, Louis is not a bad man, you will find out everything you need, in the right time.
Ana looked back and didn’t see him anymore.
***
I enter the house and Sandra comes running towards me.
一Are you hurt?
一I’m fine, no need to worry.
Next time I’ll go to the market, if you get hurt I’ll never forgive myself.
But I’m fine. Ana says without understanding.
一Go take a shower, ok? I’ll order us something to eat.
Ana walks towards her room not knowing how Sandra knows that something happened to her.
I sit on the bed and hold a change of clothes.
***
Before….
一 Ana, that man was bewitched, he is no longer human, pay attention a puppet needs to be controlled, even if Louis let him live he would try to kill you again.
一 Just one more thing, Louis is not a bad man.
***
I keep thinking about what Zyan had told me, my conscience gets heavy and I come to a conclusion that I should apologize to Louis.
Hours later we were watching a movie, only one thing was bothering me.
一Sandra, how did you know that something happened to me?
Since the market was near here and you never came so I thought something happened to you, but now you’re fine, that’s all that matters.
一You’re right.
I’m going to sleep, is that alright with you?
You can go rest, I’m going too, I just need to know the ending.
Then you’ll be in charge of telling me what happened.
Ana nods her head in agreement, Sandra goes to her room.
一That was a close one… Sandra says in a low tone.一I’m glad he had time to come. I wouldn’t forgive myself if something happened to her… When I saw Louis take the book, I had no reaction, I thought a thousand things… I won’t forget that scene.
