Well, it looks like these chapters are getting a little bit longer.
I hope you guys don't get hoppingmad!
It was dubsaloon's idea.
Nick was in an odd situation.
He was in hell, with a demon, who was making him an offer to bring him back to life.
Very odd.
"You want to bring me back?" Nick asked, eyes wide with surprise.
Damien brought his hands up from the desk,"Yep. That's the jist of it." He told him, smiling.
Nick was just about as confused as he was surprised."But- why? Why me? Why not someone else?" He queried, still confused as to why he had chosen him of all people.
"Well, first, eternity gets boring," Damien explained,"and second, I feel like you got life ripped away from you. It might be the whole 'god's plan for you' but that's always so boring, so I've decided to give you the chance at getting back to your own life." His smile had faded, a serious, businessman-like look spreading across his face.
That does make sense,Nick thought, contemplating wether to press on with the questions or to just take the deal.
"What's the catch?" Nick questioned.
Damien must have expected this, and said like he'd practiced it a million times, "The mammal who ordered your death must be brought to justice in one week."
"Or?"
"You get to stay up there," Damien paused. "But you stay in whatever form I you go back up in."
So that's the catch, Nick thought.He brings me up as acompletely different mammal to make everything difficult. I might as well take my chances. Either way, I'dstill be back on earth.
"I'm not going to be some hideous monster, right?" Nick enquired.
"No, you won't be that bad. You won't be scaring everyone around you." Damien answered, bringing the small box towards himself.
"So,do we have a deal?" He questioned.
"I guess we do" Nick answered. He raised his hand to shake, but Damien shook his head.
"No," he said, opening the box. He brought out a purple-colored flower, similar to a Night Howler, but with paler petals. "All you have to do is eat one of these and you'll be back." Damien explained, smiling. He handed Nick a pawfulof petals.
Nick held the petals in his paws, thinking. These petals have the power to make me into... Something. And if I mess up, I'll be stuck like that forever, and Judy probably won't recognize me and-
"Are you just going to stare, or are you going to eat the flower?" Damien interrupted, ripping Nick out of his thoughts.
Nick brought the petals towards his maw. How am I going to eat these? Just put them in my mouth and chew? He thought. He put the petals into his mouth, and chewed.
Almost instantly his mind became clouded, and his vision darkened, I guess that iswhat I needed to do. He swallowed the flowers and started getting a feeling of intense tiredness.
Damien was smiling broadly."And since you just ate the flowers, just because I said you won't be scaring everyone didn't mean you won't scare your partner! Good luck!" He laughed.
Nick was too weak to spit the flowers, nor even speak, and even through his clouded mind, and the world faded away from him, he had one thought on his mind;
Judy.
Alias's notes: You know, you guys are really lucky I have well too much time on my hands.
And to think I started this entire story at 2 AM in a hotel bed. In fact, I'm writing this at the exact hotel I wrote chapter 1.
Honestly, the circumstances of chapter 1 were pretty normal for me.
Anyways, Alias out!
