DEMON RULES
I do not own the characters - they belong to Kripe.
Chapter 2
Sam was so overwhelmed that he had to put his head onto his knees for a few minutes. He had it in his hands! This book was all about the laws of demons - who would have thought they had any? The book was very old, with pages like parchment - yellowed with age and fraying at the edges. The cover was made of tough black leather, but the articulate, fanciful design on the cover contradicting the sinister contents that Sam knew would be inside. Sam flipped to the index and finds that the seventh chapter was entitled 'Crossroads' and could be located on page 294. Finding the page, he started to read.
Once the Crossroads demon is summoned, it must make the deal for whatever is asked. The wish is given in exchange for ten years of life, after which the soul is sentenced to hell for eternity. This demon is only a negotiator for the contract holder, who is a different demon. These are the only terms ever available. No deal can ever be refused. If a deal is made different to this, then the contract is null and void. If such a contract exists, the Crossroads demon must be called upon and be verbally issued with a protest and challenge. The contract holder must be summoned and be told to show the Demon Rules. If ten years are not given and the contract holder will not show the rules, the demon council must be called upon. The summoning ritual for the council is written below. The council will ask all parties concerned to state their cases and to see the contract. If the contract is for less then ten years, the council will rule in your favor, making the contract end and burn.
Sam was still sitting on the floor in the corner. He had to lean against the wall beside him, since he was shaking so hard he would have fallen down. It took everything he had not to scream out or start crying. After taking several long minutes to settle down a bit he looked at the price. For a book so old it was very expensive. Sam was grateful for his credit card now. He didn't care right then that it was illegal. Now it was time to get back to their hotel room and find the nearest Crossroads. Should he tell Dean? He was pretty sure that this book was truthful from his research, but just in case it wasn't, should he go alone?
Dean has yet to make an appearance, but he will in the next chapter.
