CHAPTER 1
Letting out a heavy sigh of exhaustion, Walter leant his full weight against the nearest wall. His body, shaking and coated in sweat from the pain, could barely stay upright. He gritted his teeth, struggling more and more to endure the constant agony. On instinct, he clasped a hand around the right side of his ribcage. His hand became soaked in fresh blood.
Weakly, he attempted to open his eyes, before slamming them shut again with a cry, sharp stabbing pain going directly to his head. "Fuck," he hissed, his bloodied right hand clenching into a fist.
Surely this had to end soon? Or perhaps this was his punishment for everything he'd done? To suffer for eternity.
His already weak legs finally gave out, sending him to the hard ground. He growled as he landed on his arm, finally breaking every bone and dislodging the limb from his shoulder. He shivered uncontrollably from the anguish. It was too much. It was all too much.
He tried to stand, but one of his legs seized, sending him crumpling back to the ground. He let out a string of curses, half from pain and half from anger. For the first time in all his life, he prayed. He prayed for the pain to end.
He choked back a sob, trying desperately to close his eyes even more. As if the pain would go away as long as he didn't acknowledge it. He doubted he would be able to move, let alone find somewhere safe to recover from his injuries. If he could recover from them at all.
He chose to dismiss that thought. I…I survived the explosion…I have to live through this. I will live.
The torture intensified. He sucked in a deep breath, wincing at the pain in his chest. He growled, even that action causing a horrible stabbing agony. He found himself not caring as more tears stung his eyes and cheeks.
There was a sound of clicking heels.
Then a female voice. "You are in pain, yet you seem determined to live. Even for a vampire, that is impressive."
Walter finally opened his violet eyes, dull from the torturous suffering. He blinked, attempting to adjust his vision. But there was still only darkness in front of him.
The voice came again, "You are not blind. Look up."
The male vampire looked up, and froze. There was nothing but darkness surrounding him, and it seemed to be moving. All he could truly see, was a pair of fuchsia eyes. They were inhuman…not even something he had ever seen from a vampire or ghoul.
"Your soul is strong," said the strange creature. "But with traces of darkness as well. Very rare."
Somehow his mind – tired from pain and fatigue – managed to put the pieces together. He spoke, his voice weak. "You're a demon."
Her tone was lighter, as if she was amused. "Relax. I am not here to consume you. There are many souls here. I could feed for centuries."
Walter growled low in warning, ignoring the pain the action caused. "So you've come to watch me suffer? For your amusement?"
"No," replied the demon female. "I wish to make a contract."
Walter scowled in disgust, "Never," he spat.
"Don't you wish to live?" she asked. "All I require for my services is to share prey with you. The souls of your kind are useless to me as food."
Thousands of thoughts whirled in his mind. He had never encountered a demon, but knew full well of how manipulative they could be. This one could be taking advantage of his weak state. His mind was made up. She couldn't be trusted.
"If you do not wish to make the contract," she warned. "Then you will die with your injuries. Even a vampire cannot survive what you have been through," The rose-coloured eyes narrowed slightly, the glow becoming more intense. "Now choose."
Walter drew in a deep breath, clearing his thoughts. He had to live. He wouldn't die. No matter what he had to do. "I will make the contract, demon."
"Very well. Then I shall heal you."
Walter's eyes suddenly became heavy. He struggled to keep them open, slipping in and out of consciousness. He looked directly into the eyes of the female demon. "What is your name?"
"I am Regina."
…
A/N: Yes, if you can't tell, another anime I absolutely love is Black Butler. So that's where I got the idea for Regina being a demoness.
I'm not sure when I'll be updating.
Love you all,
