"It's impossible to do a trial period though,"
I cocked my head at him in question.
"You can't back out of a contract, and there is no way and I'm following you around of my own will,"
I nodded my head then immediately said back.
"Then why don't you just agree to the terms and we can get the contract over and done with. Your the one who said fine,"
His jaw tightened and his hidden aura was pushing the boundaries.
"I'm loosing my patience with you kid, just send me back this instant and I'll pretend I've never met you,"
So this is how you want to play? Fine. I let half of my own aura out and he just narrowed his icy eyes at me.
In turn he left some of his out, I could feel the fact that he didn't let the whole of his aura out, just enough for me to feel that he's superior.
I then let out more and more and he in turn let out more and more, a challenge of superiority. That's what this was.
"Pathetic,"
He said, when in the end I ended up topping his aura by just a little bit. I wasn't sure why he said that though.
Out auras both receded and my guard was let down at that. He looked at me like he was assessing a new species.
"Weren't your eyes red?"
He asked. Then I realised with my guard let down my eyes turned back.
"That's my potential,"
He kept looking at me as if saying keep going .
"Here I'll show,"
I activated all of them. My hair turned white and red began to adorn the tips, my eyes turned red, my skin paled and my nails extended to claws.
I smiled at him and for the first time since appeared he moved away from the spot he was summoned from. As he walked over to me I waited to see what he would do.
"Your not human, what are you?"
Now that he stood in front of me I could take in his true height. He must of been at least 190cm tall. His own pale and cold hand lifted my chin up and he stared at my eyes, I could feel the nails of his hands touching my neck.
He then let go and grabbed my hand then compared it to his own. His nails can't even be considered as nails, their length made them look more like talons.
"No, I'm what they call a myth,"
"Hmm,"
Was all he replied.
"Change back,"
He told me, I listened. It was all for the sake of getting him to agree because having a demon on my side will be helpful.
"So will you do it?"
I asked him.
"Your an interesting child, "
He then turned around and walked back to his spot and looked at the sun.
"It's too late anyways. Ok then, but if you fail then I'm taking Earth as mine."
I nodded resolutely.
"Let's hurry up and get this over with,"
He said with a sigh. There was one thing that I was confused about and forgot to ask my brother before. I don't know how to create a contract with a demon.
"How do you create the contract?"
I asked the demon sheepishly.
He pursed his lips in annoyance.
"Do you have a sharp tool?"
Then I remembered the knife. I picked it up and gave it to him. He inspected it.
"A demon knife will do this no good, it's dirty. We need clean blood."
Then a stick wouldn't work either, I don't want to go into the household yet either.
"Then I don't have a sharp object,"
He rolled his eyes at me and then grabbed my arm roughly I pulled away quickly.
"What are you doing?"
I asked him with caution as I subconsciously guarded my arm.
"I'm going to get clean blood,"
I reluctantly let him have my arm. He went down onto his knees and then flashed his teeth. Deadly fangs were in that set and they gently bit the tip of my pointer finger. Blood began to collect at the tip and it dripped into his open mouth. He then let go of my hand and stood up, not bothering to pat of the dirt on his pants.
He then bit his own pointer finger and pushed my chin up with his other hand.
"Open up,"
He told me. I felt like a child getting fed medicine by a parent. He positioned his finger above my mouth and I felt the cold blood as it dripped. The blood was black. I swallows it without complaint.
"Now what?"
I asked him.
He got on my knee and put a hand across his chest onto the opposite shoulder and bowed.
"Now you give me a name,"
I thought for a moment before saying his new name.
"Osric,"
I said to him.
"A ruler? "
He said back in question. I was surprised he knew.
"You just give off the air of one."
"Hm,"
He said to me.
"Is that it?"
He shook his head at that question.
"One more step, you have to wound me and I have to take it willingly."
I turned my nails into claws then I lifted my hands up.
"Let's do it then,"
He sighed then nodded. He extended his neck to show me the side of his neck. I was a bit taken aback of the amount of vulnerability he was willing to show but I did as he indicated and did a light slash on his neck. He got up and i could clearly see the black blood flowing downwards on his pale skin.
In the pile of stuff I sound a packet of tissues. I sat down of the ground and opened them. Taking one out I then got up and stood on my toes in order to reached the side of his neck and wipe it clean. No reaction came for him and he just allowed me to wipe the black blood off. It was the same consistency of normal blood but to the eye it was like ink.
I stood away and scrunched you're the tissue into a ball to store in my fist.
He bowed with a hand across his chest, Renaissance style.
"Congratulations on your contract, I, Osric, am now your demon to command."
