Enough. That word keeps repeating in your head. Today was the day. You could feel it. Today: you were going to end Sebastian once and for all. You didn't know how the old lady could help you and she never told you when to unleash the plan. But that, you were feeling strange, like someone who was trapped inside a cave without knowing the exit just found salvation and freedom.

Yes. Today you will have your freedom.

- " Mistress~ I just found something interesting~
" came the voice of Sebastian behind the door and you felt a shiver running down your back.

The demon entered your office and came to a halt in front of your desk. Bowing, he thrown on it yellow papers and you stared at him with a confused expression.

- " What is this? " you asked Sebastian.

- " While you were occupied hiding yourself under your bed, I went on an investigation for the estate of Eliza Jones...and when I finally found the coordinates of her home, I asked her information on Michael Jones... " he smirked, his eyes glowing. " She told me he went on a trip to Scotland, where he adopted a baby girl he found in an abandoned cabin in the woods near Edinburg... 
"

- " Me?... " you said in disbelief after a moment of silence and the butler nodded.

- " Michael Jones returned in England with you, but then...a sickness took over him for the next months. No doctors could explain what was happening to him and slowly, the man was starting to die inside...Eventually, his dear sister thought you were the cause of it so she tried to kill you by leaving your petite form in the dirt, far from the estate... " explained Sebastian and tears slowly cascaded down your cheeks. " Finally, you can imagine the rest...Anyway, I took care of Lady Eliza Jones and she won't bother you anymore~"

- "...Why? " you asked, your head hanging low and your hair shading your eyes.

The butler furrowed his brows in suspicion, not understanding.

- " Why do you tell me all of this? I couldn't care less about that Lady Eliza Jones or even my "true" father... "

- " Because when a demon and human make a contract- "

- " Shut up! " you slammed your hands on the desk, standing up while glaring at Sebastian with a dangerous glint in your eyes. " I never wanted this! I have no wish or no request! I was okay with my life! No desperate or anything like that! YOU are the one who forced me into this! There was no purpose! "

- " But there was a purpose, my lady... " smiled the butler.

- " You made up this one, Sebastian. When "we made the contract", I never said any wish so you could decide what to choose to fulfill a request so you can take my soul! " you greeted your teeth at him and the demon chuckled darkly.

- " Exactly...and do you know what it means? "

Sebastian's eyes turned demonic and he approached you slowly. Gasping in fright, you took a few steps back from the demon.

- " You "wish" is fulfilled, my lady...Your soul is mine for the taking...."

- " No! " you screamed and you thrown at him your chair (better than nothing, right?) before you took a sprint toward the exit.

Sebastian growled and took you in chase. You slammed the door open and went straight to the fireplace. You opened the silver rune and caught the syringe in your hand. You turned around and hide it behind your back. Sebastian entered your bedroom and smiled sadistically. He appeared in front of you and took your chin between his fingers.

- " No matter where you hide, I will find you. No matter what you do to me, it won't hurt me. No matter what, your soul is mine " he said and you smirked.

- " Not today, asshole " and you brought the syringe in his arm.

He hissed and released you. Sebastian touched his arm and his eyelids started to close by themselves. His breath was slow and his knees bucked under the demon's mass.

- " W-what...is...this...? "

Sebastian fell on the carpet floor and your eyes widened. You got him?

- " Woa, what the old woman said was true so? I don't know what she put in it but it worked! "

You quickly (and carefully) made your way toward the exit and took a last glance toward the butler before quitting the manor. For once and for all.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were running in the streets of London, in search of the old woman. She must be somewhere near the shop you first saw her. When you arrived at it, you didn't see any sight of the old woman. You sighed in desperation when you felt a tap on your shoulder and you turned around to see the woman.

- " It worked! Now tell me about ritual " you grabbed her shoulders and she took your wrist.

- " Follow me, Miss "

She brought you behind the shop to a darker place. You stopped in front of a small tent and the old woman mentioned you to enter it. When you were inside, the woman sat down on a small couch.

- " Now, Miss. The ritual is quit simple...Drink this essence and all your problems will be solved " she said while showing you a red chalice.

You took it and you hesitated for a moment.

- " What is the trap in this?... "

- " You see...I did once a contract with a demon because of my sight....But then I realized my mistake and I knew it was too late " she explained sadly. " Until I found a solution inside a old book...Demons love souls, right? If you don't have one, then they will let you go... "

- " You mean...you have no soul? " you asked the woman and she nodded.

- " I gave my soul away and the demon never took me away...but I lost my sight and now I'm trapped forever in this world..." the woman told you.

- " I see...so if I drink this, my soul will disappear and Sebastian will...let me go? "

- " Yes, ma'am...but there is a price to pay and it is to live for eternity watching the ones you love dying... "

- " .... "

You were silent for a moment before you drank the essence of the chalice.

Next : Your soul, no matter what -Ending-

I love how my real name is Nevaeh Jones and there are people in the story with the same last name as me
