Haru felt like drowning in the depths of a ocean.He was just sinking and losing control.Hours passed, days passed.With Haru's lost perception of time on the 3rd day something happened.
Haru teleported in a white place which he can float.There was nothing in front of him.Suddenly a shadow enveloped him and a horned lady manifested on his front.
Shadow demon was actually a girl all the time.It doesn't matter to Haru anyway because he is a firm believer of the gender equality.
Horned lady was close to two meters and has black feathery wings with a crown on top of her head.She has two big purple horns.Her other features can't be seen because of the smoke.Only her horn's colour was different from her other body parts and her body was well… curvy and well proportioned.
Haru can distinguish her body even with the smokes covering her.He just can't have the right time to relax himself since the apocalypse and it was starting to make his imagination wilder.While Haru was daydreaming the shadow demon started to spoke.
"What is your name?"She asked me.With a hopeful voice.Her voice was like a little girl and she awakaned my protect impulses.
"Haru Crowrich and your name?"Shit i think i asked a wrong question.Her face sulked and she didn't answered my question.Soon our view changed and now we were standing on a red dirt.The ground was looking like it has been dyed with blood.The smell here was full of sulfur and it makes my breathing hard.
There is magma bursting out everywhere and temperature here was so hot that i was melting like an icecream.The Shadow Demon started to speak again.
"I was born here this place is Hell.My home."
'Yeah like i care, just let me out from this place i am dying.'I didn't said it tho.I have to make a good impression on her and fastly make a pact.I put a smile on my face and talked.
"It is beatiful."She looked at me and smiled.I think she believed me than i heard a ringing.
*DING*
I am not going to look at it right now.She started to talk again but now with more closeness.
"Yeah i know, it was hard for me to live in here everybody was devouring each other and fighting nonstop.I did my best and win.Before i was trapped i made it in the second place of the demon hierarchy.I was the ruler of the 6th floor."
Holy fuck.
*BZZT*
A lightning shocked my body and a headache fell down on me.It was my idiotness saying stupid things in hell like 'H0ly'.I am not going to say it again.Seems like she saw it too.
"Did you just said something shouldn't be said in hell?You are an idiot."she said while laughing.Her laugh wasn't cute it was just terrifying.
"So lets cut to the point,Why did you disturbed my slumber?What do you want from me?"she asked me with clear dislike in her voice.
"I want to make a pact with you."
"Why should i accept it? Are you going to use me like others did in the past? I don't believe you and there is no benefits for me to be your slave."
"I won't let you be my slave rather you'll be my companion or a friend if you want."
"Yeah you can't sugarcoat me.I am not an easy demon."she said but she didn't knew that i was just acting.I just want to see her true persona.A demon can't be this sweet.Rather she should be more cunning and sly.
"Then what do you want?"I asked her to see her true intentions.
"Controlling your right eye and right hand.I'll be constantly draining your mana and going to live in your heart sucking your blood when i feel hungry or bored."
"No way i'll let you drink my heart's blood.I am not a big idiot i know if you drink it i am going to die.I can give you my right eye and right hand but no more.Living in my heart is a no go."I talked with full rage.I should have knew that this demon wasn't a sweet little girl.She just wants to kill me.
"You are speaking huge for a puny human.If you are not letting me live in your heart then i shall take your shadow as compensation.Oh and if i deem you unworthy i am going to devour your soul are you still accepting?"
"Yes."I said with a firm tone because i need her help if i want us to survive.I am going to protect Rin at all cost.
"Then the pact is clear."

***POV CHANGE***
I was just testing this human but he actually accepted my conditions and called my home beautiful.
He wasn't like the other disturbed me.I just wanted to help him but i don't want him to feel high of himself.I am not going to devour his soul or harm him in anyway.He is the key for my emptiness.I won't let him die.
Let's just wait for the future and protect him from the shadows.
