The Pact

The demon approached with a casual air, concealing his infernal nature.

She, consumed with sickness, looked up at him hopefully.

You have come -she whispered incredulously.

He smiled, a gesture that would have been charming but for his predatory eyes.

-I always come when called. Are you sure of your desire?

She nodded, gathering her last strength. The pact was sealed.

Suddenly, an unearthly vigour coursed through her veins.

The coughing stopped, her skin glowed. But as she looked at her hands, a blazing fire consumed them.

The demon watched her with pleasure. Elena's soul now belonged to him for all eternity.
