Hilda sat up panting and looked around. She shook her head, shaking the remains of her dream from her head as she stared off into the darkness.
She slowly drifted down from her perch in the sky, and stepped on the land. It was to early for anyone to be up, but the casino was always open.
She quickly started walking, heading towards Inkwell Island two. From there, she kept going to Inkwell Island three, and then the casino.
As she stood outside the door. She took a deep breath before opening the door and going in.
She looked around, and noticed the drop in the number of people that had been there earlier. Of course, that was normal as most of the people were asleep. 'lucky them' she thought.
She hesitated, knowing she still had a day left to think about it. She took a deep breath and walked over to the sleazy casino manager, King Dice.
"Hey! Dice!" Hilda said as she walked over to him. King Dice looked at her. "Hey Hilda! What do you need?" "I need to see the Devil"
King stared at her for a few seconds, then shrugged. "Um, sure. Follow me" he turned around and walked through a few doors, and Hilda followed.
"Devil, you have a guest" King Dice announced, and the devil looked up and spotted them. "Ahh, Hilda Berg. I have been waiting for you. You can leave now Dice" King Dice looked suspiciously at the two of them, then left.
"So, have you agreed?" The devil asked, Hilda nodded.
"You know, you won't remember any of your friends and won't remember ever loving this guy"
Beppi's small face appeared in thin air, and disappeared.
"H-how do you know about that?!" Hilda demanded blushing. "I know everything that goes on in my casino." The devil replied. "And you will only know them, as customers of the casino. Nothing more, nothing less."
Hilda gulped, looking at the smirking devil. She knew the impact this would have, but it still had been a tempting offer.
She was always kinda jealous of King Dice. He seemed to get all the glory, and was respected in the casino. He got almost everything. But he didn't get love.
It hit her like a rock thrown at her heart, when she realized that she would never be able to love. And for that, break Beppi's heart. She had felt like the luckiest girl alive but she knew that Beppi would be heartbroken, when he saw her like what she was about to agree to.
Cruel. Cold hearted. Emotionless.
"So, do we have ourselves a deal then?" The devil asked, smirking. Hilda nodded, against her heart "Deal" the devil laughed, as Hilda's world turned black.
King Dice woke up outside the casino, and brushed off the dust from his jacket. He felt, strange and decided to check the casino. He was questioning why he had been lying outside the casino. He had been at the bar a minute ago.
He knew something was wrong, as he walked back in. There she was. Suited up and everything, playing his role. He growled slightly, not liking this one bit.
"Evening Dice" Hilda said, as she came over to him and smirked. "What did you do?!" King Dice asked.
Hilda chuckled, "Just made a deal with the devil. I'm Queen now Dice."
She smirked and walked away. He stood there, staring off where she had been not believing what he had heard.
He walked out of the casino again, knowing he had to get to Hilda's friends and the words still ringing in his ears.
"I'm Queen now, Dice"
