Faust

Or The Devil in Me

Ah so you see there is a much larger story to this. Fiends here are very common. In this village alone there is a fiend in the library, one in the tailor's house, one in the mayor's house, one in the house of two mechanics, one in the house of a pair of noble twins, one in the hunter's house, one participating in some sort of race with two mortal men, one working with the town beauty and Faust's, of course. So let us continue the tale as we learn more about the bigger picture.

"Good morning master." An all too familiar voice says at about oh god knows what time. My eyes open rather sluggishly to see him there standing without any clothes on.

'Why aren't you dressed? I gave you clothes." I growl.

"Because I do not like your mortal clothes." My Fiend replies.

"And why not?"

"The same reason why you do not like furs. The texture is … awkward."

"How did you … oh yeah."

"So where are we going and what shall we do? Would you like Brave Gretchen's heart today because I can do that."

"Oh no, I want to buy shoes with your impeccable fashion sense."

"There is no need for sarcasm."

I sit up and he starts open my drawers.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING FIEND?" I ask.

"Getting you dressed master." He says as he smirks again.

He glides over and starts unbuttoning my shirt.

"D-don't." I whimper scared for a strange reason.

"Scared are we?" He says continuing to unbutton my shirt.

His hands start digging in ever so slightly as the final button gets undone. I growl at him. He smiles and proceeds to reach for my belt and am I not in control?

"STOP FIEND!" I scream.

"Fine." He walks off.

"And put some damned clothes on." I call out after him.

I stand up and begin to unbutton my pants and I hear a knock on the door. I struggle to get dressed at speed and rush to open the door.

"Hello my name's Bruno Vizor and this is my brother Antony. We are new around here and set up a mechanic's workshop nearby." A broad man with short blue hair says.

I look at him and his brother. They both have dull grey eyes and short blue hair but Antony was wearing a crimson visor. They looked like twins, that made two sets of twins in this village. I look behind them and see a tall and slender man with silver and white hair. He opens his eyes and stares at me. His eyes are a bright red with a burning feel. He laughs a laugh that sounds like tin trying to laugh. I look and see strange clothing on him. A peculiar fabric stretched taunt across his entire body, leaving nothing to imagination. On his hip he had a sword. Obviously a fiend.

"I want to see The Granter of Wishes." The tin man demanded.

"Well you can't. Thank you for dropping by, I will definitely have my car looked at by you two." I say with a great speed.

I slam the door still stained with blood. My Fiend walks downstairs wearing some clothes for once. He sniffs me and mutters something about a creature called Primo. Like I care. I grab him by the shoulder and drag him to my car. My car is rather lovely. It is from Norway and called a 'Vallhander'. I have a special brand, mine is large and square except for the front which is rounded. It also has a strange coloration, white with brown accents. It's far nicer then my neighbors'. I open the back door and throw him in. I climb into my seat and start it up. I close my eyes for a brief second and behold his slender figure is right next to me.

"What is this master? Is it a D-Wheel?" He asks prodding the steering wheel.

I swerve ever so slightly as a red-haired man in a suit screams at me. I look into his car and see a female fiend sitting in the back. She's wearing a white mask. I feel her eyes on me and shudder. I watch as she taps her master on the shoulder and he shoves her off.

"Do you not have to watch where you are going?" My Fiend asks blandly.

I jump slightly and get back to the correct side of the road. We drive to the center of town just outside of the town hall. I open the door and go to get him but quickly realize that he'll get out on his own. I look to my side and see the red-haired man again; he's got to be the mayor. Great I swerved in front of the mayor. He gets out with outrage on his face but is stopped by a very, very tall and broad man with pink and grey hair, the hunter.

"Damn it Aporia! You foreigners are all so damned relaxed! Sometimes one must use force to prove a point! And would you leave the fiend at home for once?!" The mayor screams.

I shrug and continue walking ignoring the fighting men. My Fiend follows. We search around for a while looking for Brave Gretchen. We finally find him and he takes of running. My Fiend smirks and runs after him. I chase after my Fiend and the lovely boy. When I finally catch up my Fiend is cradling his head and saying something in a language I do not understand. He tilts Brave's head up and looks into his eyes and I feel guilty if just for a moment.

"It is done master, are you happy?"My Fiend asks with another smirk.

"Yes." I say.

"Mmn, he is lovely isn't he? But not as lovely as you." He hisses up against my neck.

I once again get that feeling. But he can't do anything until he gets back to Hell.

"I hope you enjoy him." He smirks.

I watch as he walks over to the magenta haired girl with the mask he whispers something into her ear. She glares at me and I hear her say clearly,

"Are you sure?"

That Fiend ought to know that humans haven't fallen for their tricks since Edo Phoenix tricked the previous Hell Kaiser into binding fiends to our will. I smile at my Fiend and motion for him to come to me. He comes with a sway and a smirk.

"Yes master?" He whispers.

"We are going home." I state.

I grab him by the shoulder and watch as Brave rushes home. I drag the Fiend to my car and slam him in. he frowns and appears in the seat next to me.

"Did I make you angry master?" He questions.

"Don't call me master anymore. Call me Dr. Faust." I command.

"Yes Dr. Faust." He breathes drawing out my last name.

I drive home as quick as the country roads will allow. I drag him inside. He smiles and laughs and presses his face against mine.

"You look like a fiend you know." He whispers.

I shove him off and throw him into the bathtub. He yelps in pain. I walk back to my room and begin to read through the black book that for some reason is no longer covered in blood. As I read I see the raven-haired fiend, the fiend in the mask and the fiend with the sword. Apparently fiends have names. Yu, Aku and Primo respectively. The library fiend is called Amnael, he used to work with the previous Hell Kaiser. You learn new things every day. I finish reading and notice that I had read until night. My Fiend walks in with his yellow eyes glowing in the dark. His hands seek my buttons as he starts getting me undressed. I slap him across the face and turn my lantern on.

"Why did you hit me?" He asks expressionless.

"Because I do not want a FIEND touching me." I snarl.

I look and see a red mark on his face. He laughs and smirks. My eyes widen as he lies me down and kisses me. I slap him again the smug thing. He walks off with a grin splitting his face in two.

"I hope you enjoy the boy." He taunts as he walks off to his room.

I will I assure you. I lie on my bed until the god that doesn't judge, the god of sleep takes to me a dreamless rest.

Faust is in far over his head. He has read about fiends and still he ignores the signs. Still he ignores the obvious. Faust is blind in his desire, his pride. He will lose this pride so he can see. Let us hope that he doesn't see to late.
