Prologue- As I Lay Dying
Danny's eyes snapped open. He was floating in a black shadow, the air covered in white feathers. He leaned up, the only thing covering him was a thin blood colored blanket.
"Where am I?" He whispered. Looking around, he felt safe and protected. He hasn't felt that way in a long time.
"You are in the darkness, between Heaven and in Hell. You summoned me in pain and now I'm here to help." Danny's lifted his eyebrow in confusion.
"Wait- I summoned you?" He couldn't see the man hiding between the shadows. Feathers were still dropping and he caught one. It vanished in his hand.
"Yes. Do you remember you screaming? Do you recall screaming for someone to help you? To escape your suffering and torture?" Danny's blue eyes widen and he looked at his hands. Blood stained. All his body was beaten to a pulp. He had nobody.
"How will you help me?" He shouted his eyes getting moist.
"I will be your servant. I will do anything and everything you ask. And in exchange, your soul." Danny gulped. His eyes lids dropped, thinking. He had nothing left. Everyone betrayed him. There was nothing too loose… but getting revenge. It wasn't like him… But maybe once they dead he would die in peace.
"Your wish?" The man asked curious.
"Revenge to all that made me suffer great humiliation and pain. That's what I want." He chuckled.
"I am a demon. One of the son's of the devil. Once you do this, you will never able to escape the devil's grasp. And if you once reject the faith, you can never pass through the gates of heaven. So, I'll ask you again, do you wish to make a contract?"
"Yes." Danny said, "I do." A purple star appeared on his right eye.
"Very well, young master."
