Chapter Four

I knew what she was thinking. How could she? She couldn't join me no matter where I was. I am in Hell. There is no way she could join me here no matter how hard she tried.

I must think of an idea to get on earth this very minute. I need to find her and tell her to never join me here. I need to tell her to just move on. She could be with Brian if she wanted to just as long as she didn't follow me here.

I decided to visit my boss.

There were many names we demons called him.

Humans refer to him as "The Devil" or something like that.

He's a lazy bum and I really don't like him at all. I don't really think any of us do though. I decided I'd go visit him anyways no matter how much I hated him.

I saw him sitting in some kind of throne. He had some demon guards standing next to him. What a wuss.

"Can you help me?" I asked him.

He laughed.

"Why would I help you?" he asked.

"I don't know. No one else asks for help do they? I turned most of the humans into zombies already using a mosquito disease! C'mon man help me out for once!" I yelled.

I watched him.

He seemed to be considering.

"What is it that you want?" he asked.

"To return to earth. To see Phoebe," I answered.

He laughed again.

"Stop laughing! Or else I'll be laughing in a minute here," I threatened.

He didn't like that threat very much.

It suddenly felt like a ball of fire landed in my gut.

It hurt like Hell. No pun intended.

"I'll make you a deal," he said.

Oh joy. The last person that made a deal with him was Dracula and he was turned into some monster that ate people or something.

"What deal?" I asked hastily.

"Keep up the disease and I'll let you go. I may even let you become a human again," he said.

"If I become human again, will I have a chance to be a good person and go to Heaven next time?" I asked.

"Possibly if you are a good person. I don't need you here. I don't care. Just one less idiot to put up with here," he said.

"Fine. I'll take it. But it'd better work," I said.

He half smiled.

"Excellent," he said quietly, and before I knew it, I was sitting in a cave on earth.

My only problem was: I wasn't a human; I was still a demon.
