This fanfiction is based on the animated YouTube video "Welcome to Hell." I would suggest watching that video before reading this. I promise you won't regret watching that video, it is gold.

The full moon illuminated the quiet cemetery. The sound of a shovel hitting dirt was the only sound that interrupted the crickets chirping. Theo was sweating as he continued to dig. He had been digging for some time now. He was exhausted, but he knew it would be all over soon.

After digging for hours, Theo had successfully made four deep holes in the ground. Without wasting any time, Theo picked up three bodies, one after the other, and placed them in the first three holes. Then he picked up his shovel again, and covered the bodies with dirt. Feeling sentimental, Theo found four rocks on the ground and used his knife to carve into them. He placed one at the head of each grave. The rocks read, "Mom, Dad, Tara, Me."

He sat on the ground in front of the only empty grave left. He felt bad for murdering his entire family. He tried to convince himself that it was just an accident; the full moon always made him a little crazy. He had been sleeping peacefully, but when he woke up, he was covered in blood and his whole family was dead. Theo originally wanted to go to the police, but he knew they would not believe that it was an accident. It did not take him long to make up his mind on what he had to do. He was going to kill himself. Theo was an atheist, so he did not believe Heaven or Hell existed. He believed that if he killed himself, he would just cease to exist, which Theo thought was a better alternative to spending the rest of his life in prison.

Theo turned his knife in his hand, seeing his own reflection in it. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he stabbed the knife into his chest. He felt himself falling backwards into the grave he had just dug before everything faded to black.

Slowly, Theo opened his eyes. He was lying on his back. All he could see was white light. He squinted at the brightness before his eyes adjusted. He did not know where he was. He seemed to remember stabbing himself. "Had that just been a dream?" he wondered. Suddenly, Theo saw a face appear above him.

"Welcome to Hell. Would you like a hand?" the man said, offering Theo his hand. He was tall and slender, and was wearing a nice suit. He had bright red hair, which made him look like he had flames covering his head.

"Sure, thanks" Theo said hesitantly. He grabbed the man's hand and he pulled him to his feet with ease.

"This is my office, have a seat," the man said, gesturing to an office chair in front of a desk. Theo sat there as the man flipped through some files on his desk. He looked around and took in his surroundings. The man had said this was Hell. However, it did not look like the fiery depictions of Hell that Theo was used to seeing. If this actually was Hell, then the man must be the Devil. He also did not look like the normal depictions of the Devil. Before Theo's thoughts could go any further, the man spoke.

"Do you know why you're here, Mr. Raeken?" he asked, looking up from the file in his hand.

Theo chuckled quietly. He felt like he was being interviewed by the police, not by the Devil himself, if he even was the Devil, Theo was still skeptical. "Let me guess, it's because I killed my family and then myself. If this really is Hell, why am I not being tortured as we speak, suffering for all eternity?" Theo said dramatically.

"Don't sound so desperate, kid. See, I'm currently in the process of having Hell renovated. Everyone is off the hook right now. The only one suffering is me! Truth is, I could use some help around here. So, I'd like to make you an offer."

"Like a deal with the Devil?"

"Like a job offer. I already have your soul, you think I'm going to challenge to a fiddling contest or something? Anyways, I'm offering you this job because you remind me of myself, Theo. Can I call you Theo?"

Theo did not get a chance to respond before the Devil started talking again.

"By the way, please call me Mephistopheles. So, about this job offer. This demonary position I'm about to offer you is kind of a big deal. You'll be assigned to a human counterpart. It is your job to haunt, torment, pester, and be a general nuisance to this human until eventually he, you know, punches his own ticket. We may be under construction but we still have a quota to reach."

Theo sat pondering Mephistopheles' offer for a moment. "So, I'd get to kill people?"

"Not exactly, you get to help people kill themselves."

"And if I decline your offer?"

"You won't," the Devil said confidently.

Theo smirked. "You got me there," he said. Mephistopheles handed Theo a file. He continued to explain the details of the job, but Theo tuned him out and focused on the file in his hands. Flipping it open, he saw a picture of a boy. Next to his picture was a bunch of information about him.

Name: Liam Dunbar,

Age: Teen,

Eyes: Blue,

Hair: Brown,

Likes: Lacrosse,

Dislikes: Most everything else,

Personality: IED.

After skimming through the information on the file, Theo looked closer at the picture of Liam. Theo smiled slightly. "This kid is actually kinda cute," he thought. He frowned when he remembered that he was supposed to get this kid to kill himself, not make friends with him. Either way, Theo thought it would be a fun job.

It was early Monday morning, and Theo's first day on the job. He was currently standing next to Liam while Liam was waiting for the bus to arrive. When it pulled to a stop next to them, Liam got on it and Theo went to follow. The doors on the bus closed before Theo could get on, but he was shocked to find out that he could pass through the closed doors. Theo wondered if he was a ghost or a demon with the ability to walk through walls and everything.

Theo found where Liam was sitting and sat next to him.

Suddenly, Theo heard a voice from behind him.

"Hey, kid."

Theo turned and saw that it was Mephistopheles.

"He can see me, right?" Theo asked his new boss, so to speak.

"He can, everyone else can't," he replied.

"Can he see you?"

"Nope."

"Can he hear you?"

"No, you're talking to yourself."

"Great," Theo said. Looking over at Liam he saw that he was wearing headphones.

"Doesn't matter, he's wearing headphones anyway," He said looking back at where the Devil was sitting only to see that he had disappeared. Theo groaned. He wondered how often his new boss would randomly drop by.

It did not take long for the school bus to arrive at Beacon Hills High School. Once there, Theo continued to follow Liam around everywhere he went. He decided to stay in the shadows for the day to learn as much about Liam as he could.

By the end of the day, Theo had learned a lot about Liam. His two best friends in his class were Mason and Corey, but he was also friends with some older kids, too. He played lacrosse, and was actually very good at it, Theo was impressed. Overall, Theo felt like he had had a productive day. He had already started forming plans on how he was going to manipulate this kid into killing himself. He would put his plans into action starting tomorrow. Theo felt like he should do some sort of evil, movie-villain laugh, but he refrained from that.

"Tomorrow is going to be a good day," Theo said to himself.
