So... where do I begin. Lets begin with my name and a description, my is Sam, I had black gelled back hair and an average height for a ten-year-old I guess and brown eyes. So there's the description, I know short but I just want to get to my story.
So my story begins when I was walking home from school by myself, I had my red blazer tucked under my arm and my red and grey striped tie slightly untied and my top button undone since it was a warm afternoon. Yeah for people who live in America, I live in England and well, we wear uniforms to school so in case you were wondering why, now you know. Anyway, I was walking on the outskirts of a forest that is on the way to my house when I heard voices, they were faint but I could hear them.
"Come on Clive we need to get this escaped soul back to hell where he belongs." A deep gravely voice said.
Curiosity got the better of me and I ran into the forest, my brown leather satchel smacking my back as I ran to where the voices.
"I know Mark it's just this is one heavy soul, I think you should carry him with you being stronger and taller." I heard another deep voice which sounded louder.
"Don't be lazy and get a move on" I heard the other voice which was above a small hill.
I quietly climbed up the hill and laid on my stomach as I got closer to the top, I peered over the top of the hill and what I saw shocked me to the core. I saw two demons is all I can describe them as, both had two small black horns coming out of their balled heads they had red skin and wore no clothes except for a piece of cloth that was around their waist, they also had two large dark purple wings protruding out of their backs, I could also see that their eye's glowed yellow. I saw that the one who I guessed was Mark, he was tall and I mean very tall and bulky and I could see all his veins popping out all over his bulging muscles. The other demon, Clive was tall but only reached up to the others elbow and was not as bulky, but I saw that he was carrying something over his shoulder it was slightly transparent and humanoid whatever it was, was tied up in chains with a gag in its mouth.
"Right is this where the gate is?" Clive asked.
"Yep hang on" Mark said and then muttered a language I could not understand before a large hole appeared in front of his feet. "after you Clive" Mark said as he pointed to the hole that gave off steam and a faint red glow.
I saw Clive nod and jump into the hole with the lost soul with Mark soon following after. I watched the hole, waiting for it to close but it didn't. Now any normal person would just walk away and not think anything more about it, but as you guessed I didn't do that. I got up and walked slowly to the hole, leaving my blazer and satchel on the ground and peered in. I could see that it went down for miles and I could hear the faint screams from way down below.
"What are you doing?" I heard a feminine voice whisper in my ear. I shrieked and spun around and saw a demoness wearing a t-shirt and jeans with black wavy hair and large black horns and red skin, her body was slim with two regular sized breast underneath the t shirt and I could see two wings behind on her back. the surprise of me seeing her made me step back but I stepped onto nothing, as I fell back I saw her gasp and try to grab me but it was too late and I fell into the hole and saw her and the sky getting smaller and smaller as I descended deeper into the Earth.
I fell for what felt like forever before I soon hit the ground but it didn't hurt for some reason. I grunted as I got up and dusted myself before looking around. What I saw scared me, I saw that I was standing on a large, tall table top cliff with the view of a decrepit city in the distance with a sea of lava surrounding it. The sky was covered in dark orange storm clouds but it didn't rain but every so often orange lighting would strike and hit the lava.
I soon felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end as I felt someone behind me. I slowly turned around and saw Mark towering over me with an evil smile showing off his black teeth.
"Well, looks like I found a lost soul" He said as he reached down to grab me. Without thinking I ducked away from his hand and ran away but that was short lived as chains snaked around my body and I soon fell to the ground. I rolled over onto my back and saw Mark looking down at me and laughed which boomed loudly.
"Thought you could run away from the Devil's right hand demon?" He said as he picked me up with one hand and brought me to his face, I was sweating madly as my face was inches away from his "Well you can't."
"MARK PUT HIM DOWN!" I heard a voice boom out in a deep threatening tone.
Mark turned around and we both saw the demoness I saw before I fell in the hole.
"Clara?!" Mark said in surprise "what are you doing here?"
"What I'm doing here does not matter and I said let that boy go." Clara demanded.
"Why? He's a lost soul that needs to be taken back to hell" Mark said as he lowered me down to his waist.
"No he's not a lost soul, he fell in here by mistake because I startled him."
"You mean you were up in the mortal world?" Mark asked with an eyebrow raised
Clara's face turned from anger to regret and looked at the floor before saying "yes."
Mark sighed before saying "you know your farther is going to be mad at you."
Clara just nodded "yes I know but I just wanted to see it once and meet a Human for the first time and luckily I saw both" she said as she gave me a warm smile.
I just blushed as I heard Mark say "well I'm going to have to take this Human to your farther Lucifer because we have never had a Human Accidently fall down to hell." I gasped when he said that Clara's farther was the Devil. "So come on" he said as we began to walk, well they were walking I was being carried in Marks tight grip.
"Well can't you at least put the poor guy down, he's shaking like a leaf" Clara said and she wasn't wrong, I was petrified.
"No I'm afraid I can't, you and him are my responsibility until we meet your farther, plus I don't trust him" Mark said and I felt his grip get tighter.
soon we came to the edge of the cliff and I looked down at the lava far below 'oh god' I thought as I looked away before looking up at Mark.
"S-s-so what are... we waiting... for?" I asked in a shaky voice.
Mark glared down at me before saying "waiting for the train." I cocked my head in confusion before I heard a loud "CHOO! CHOO!" I looked up to see a long steam train with a large skull on the front of it with glowing red eye's flying through the clouds. The train was coloured red with black stripes and had five cars behind it. When it pulled up to us I saw gold lettering on the cars and on the side of the train which said 'Hell's Express'. I then looked to see a door open on one of the cars near us and a skeleton with black, soulless eye's wearing a conductors uniform and hat stepped out.
"Tickets please" it said in a tired voice.
Mark held out his hand that wasn't holding me and a gold ticket appeared out of nowhere and handed it to the conductor. The conductor took the ticket and then brought out a hole puncher from the pocket of his uniform and punched a hole in the ticket before handing it back to Mark. Then the conductor then looked at Clara and said "ticket?", Clara looked at her feet and said in shame "I don't have one."
"No ticket?" the conductor said in surprise but before he could say anything else Mark said "this is Clara one of the Devil's daughters so she can ride for free." The conductor gasped and then spluttered out "I... mean, well yes of course come aboard."
We all entered the car but before I knew it I blacked out. I probably passed out because it was all too much for me.
I woke up in a chair with my wrists and ankles chained to it. I looked at my surroundings and noticed that I was in some sort of office with a large window that had a view of the city below. I saw a desk in front of me with the legs of it made out of bones and behind the desk was a high wingback chair with a skull on top, I also saw behind the chair on the wall a red trident. But what caught my eye was a plate with about five large chocolate chip cookies on the desk which, yeah, I also thought was odd, looking at the cookies made my mouth water as I felt kinda hungry. I grabbed the arms of the chair and thrusted my body forwards and the chair move an inch, I kept on doing it until I was close enough to the cookies but as I reach out to grab one the chains held me back and I sighed in defeat and leaned back on the chair.
Before long I heard doors open behind me and close and I looked behind to see... him, the Devil.
"Well... looks like your awake" he said in a deep voice which was far deeper than Marks. He wore a black three piece suit and a red tie, he had massive black horns, bigger than Clara's and a red bony face with yellow, glowing eye's and black hair, when he smiled at me I could see his perfect white teeth and his canine teeth were longer than a normal persons would. I saw, tucked under his arm a cream folder as he walked around me and sat on his chair before opening the folder.
"Hmmm lets see here" I heard him mutter as he looked through the file "Sam Brown, age 10 so on and so fourth", he just kept talking under his breath probably about me until I interrupted.
"Please Mr Devil" I said and he looked up at me "this is just a mistake I haven't done anything wrong."
"I know" he said as he closed the folder and placed it down on the desk "which is a shame for my daughter who brought you here by accident because she likes you." I blushed at that.
"Oh... r...really?" I asked and the Devil nodded as he grabbed a cookie before taking a bite out of it.
"Yeah, even though I specifically tell her not to go to the mortal world, she does it anyway but bringing a human back who hasn't died" He sighs and shakes his head in disappointment "it's that sort of stunt that gives Hell a bad name, but no worries she's grounded now... literally" he said as he finished his cookie and picked up another one and asked "cookie?" I just showed him my arms that are bound to the chair. The Devil clicked his fingers and the chains disappeared and he handed me the cookie which I ate.
After I had finished eating the cookie I asked with curiosity "why are you nice to me, I thought you were... you were...em" I trailed off, not wanting to offend the Devil.
"Evil?" the Devil asked and I nodded. He laughed and leaned back on his chair before saying "young man, I'm only evil to those who are evil themselves, a bit like Jesus and his "I help those who help themselves" that's how it works with me. So your fine because your not evil and by the looks of your folder" he patted the folder "you won't be coming here when you die."
I just sighed in relief before asking "so can you help me get home?"
The Devil smiled warmly at me which kinda felt unsettling before saying "of course" he then got up and walked up to the double set of doors behind me. "Well come on" he said and I quickly got out of the chair and walked up to him.
"You know Sam" the Devil said as he put a hand on my shoulder "I like you, I don't like a lot of mortals but I'll make an exception, your a good kid and I hope you don't end up here when your time is at its end because the future can be changed."
"Thank you" I said shyly not knowing how to take a compliment from the Master of Hell.
The Devil then opened the door and behind it was a portal that glowed red "goodbye Sam" he said "I do hope I get to meet you on my visit to the mortal world someday" I just nodded and walked into the portal and my vision turned white.
Then I opened my eye's and I saw that I was standing outside my house with my blazer under my arm and my satchel on my shoulder. It felt like it was all just a dream and I thought that until now, I'm now twenty four when I'm writing this and I know what your saying "why bother now?" and "wasn't it just a dream?" Well that's the thing. I got a letter which was sent from the Devil saying how he would like to catch up on old times which even I think is very odd seeing how I just met him by accident, but that memory that I thought was a dream all came back to me and now I don't know what to believe, but it inspired me to write it all down. But now since I have finished my story I have one question now.
Should I go?
