I once wrote this as an essay and I got a star so....

I updated it abit so it's not the exact same as the one I'd written
*******
ONE EVENING, A PORTAL TO HELL OPENED AT THE FOOT OF MY BED.A demon strides through, rips off my covers, and begins to drag me through the portal by my ankles saying,
" You are going to help me settle a bet!"
*********
" WH..WHA...HEEEELP!" I shouted fighting helplessly to break free.
The portal was in the form of a spiral stair that reached upto a burning wormhole that led to God knows where, and when I realized that we were getting nearer and nearer to the hole, I tried to scream, hoping my neighbors could hear me before I entered into a portal that lead to God Knows what
It was an absolute failure, he didn't even seem to care about my petty advances to say the least
He grabs onto me tightly, his hands going around me and grabbing onto my breasts which sent an electric shock into me by the burning feeling that resulted from his touch.
And I gasped in an unbelieving shock
" You fucking pervert!"I shouted at him
He lets out a terrifying chuckle," Silly girl!"he spits, "you do know that you are not even trying, right? You should save your insignificant energy for something more worthwhile"he said as if trying to help me as he looked at me with his completely bewitching red eyes. God surely knows he didn't deserve such beauty with his rotten attitude.
It was then that became a hundred percent sure that I had been dreaming, for how in heaven would a doorway to hell open at the foot of my freaking bed?!
" I am going to strangle you with my bare hands when I get free!" I bluff as anger coursed through every vein in my body, making my blood boil with hate and disgust for the egotistical bastard, my heart pleading for revengefor him manhandling me so!
I wasn't stupid, I knew I couldn't beat him, or even hurt him, but I was pretty angry, so I could bluff at him
But by his reaction I knew he wasn't even a bit fazed by my petty attempt at threatening him. I couldn't believe there was someone as infuriating as him around me!
But dream, or not,I have never been one to back down from a fight and so I wasn't going to go down so easily.
"LET ME GO!"I shout again as I tried to kick him, but he was two strides ahead of me, he catches it mid- way, clicking his tongue in annoyance and throws me over his shoulder like a cave man.
" You will pay for this, you ugly piece of shit!" I say, pounding thoroughly at his back as he releases a sarcastic laugh, his enjoyment and amusement at my antics visible on his beautiful scarred face even though I could not see him with my head facing his butt.
" You know, for a silly girl like you, you really know how to talk nasty!" he says, it sounding more like a complement and praise.
And I hated it! I didn't want to be complemented by the freaking kidnapper!
" Who asked for your opinion you fucking devil!" I shout in disgust, hoping to annoy him.He stops. And I think that I finally got to him.
He turns to look at me with a smile, and I cringe.... why in heavens name was he smiling?
" Now that," he slaps my ass with his free hand,"is the first true thing you have said to me, all night. Now let's not waste any more precious time,"he said as he drops me down to stand, not giving me time to admonish his behavior.
He pulls me so close to him that even not an inch was left between us and despite my strong resistance he doesn't even budge.
"Do you understand the term personal space?" I asked as he decides to carry me like a baby instead.
He snorts at me as he tightens his hold
"You will regret this!" I say again sternly, still with minimal hope of breaking free from him.
"Believe me, I already do," he smiles as he jumps inside the portal.
Instead of breaking free, I clench him tight, screaming in his masculine arms with my eyes close in fear, forgetting what I was doing except thinking of my dear life, my sweet innocent life.
Then everything becomes quiet....
" Now, who was it talking about personal space again? Or was I only dreaming,"he says as I regain my sanity from the frightening fall.
I open my eyes and that is when I realize what I was doing and pushed him away in disgust and open dread.
"What do you want from me," I cry out, hugging myself in protection.
And that is when I took notice of my surrounding...
Four huge beasts, well as it may seem, their heights were extraordinary, standing before me, over seven feet tall, black wings,masculine hot figures all with deep red eyes.
But...no no no! I stepped back in fear...
This couldn't be happening, couldn't possibly be real! It wasn't real!
They had horns.... freaking horns on their heads!
I begin to hyperventilate as I nervously looked around
I try my best to take deep calming breaths, hoping to God I do not get a panic attack infront of these strangers.
"Camille, now I know this helluva an epic kind of a dream but I highly advise that you wake up right now!" I say to myself, pinching my arms as the huge men look at me as if I were a rare bug.
I turn away from them, the fear of what it is they wanted to do to me making me shake from head to toe...
Am I in….hell?
"Oh no no no no please this cannot be happening!" I mutter to myself, my hands shaking in terror and I hug myself to keep myself from trembling.
The stupid one who led me here to this creepy place came in front of me and started speaking as if he did not even consider my state of sanity.
"So...we brought you here..." but I couldn't let him finish, I couldn't wait, I was too mad and too far gone to care anymore. I slapped my rage out on his perfect face.
"Where the fuck did you take me you jerk! Is this some kind of cult and shit coz I'm not interested!Take me home ….NOW!" I shouted, angry tears pooling at the corners of my eyes.
My breathing gets stronger and I put my hands on my knees and breathe, trying to get some semblance of control before I could throw up. And as I calmed down slowly I begin to realize the atrocity I've committed.
Oh God! What the hell did I just do!
"Wow Nick! The girl really has anger issues!" the first one said blowing out a sarcastic laugh.
"Don't make me do it to you too!"I said back without thinking then clamped my mouth shut.
Did I want to get killed!
To my absolute horror the demon gulps and takes a step back in fear.
Was he... seriously afraid? Of me?!
What in the fucking world was happening?!
"Lets cut the chase, shall we?"the second one said, at least this one looked responsible.
"I am so sorry for my brothers' manners! My name is Lucio, and my brothers here are Jared, Lukas,Zaeed and you've already met Nicholas .Together we are the five princes of hell, and we brought you here because we want to settle a bet…"he says as he releases an evil smirk on his face.
"What?!.... I am sorry but did you say you brought me here for a bet?! Why me?! I'm absolutely remorseful but I really don't think I am the girl for you, so if you could just take me back…"
"I believe you possess a black book?" Zaeed interrupts.
I startle for a second,"Well, yeah, but I swear I didn't steal it, the librarian guy gave it to me for free! if that's what you want you can happily take it, I don't want it anymore, never even read it!" I say as I start shaking.
"Relax, we want to thank you for finding it for us!" Zaeed said smiling.
"Well...huh?" I said , looking as confused as I sounded," I don't get it, thank me? Why?"
"That book is very important to us! And since you found it, we owe you an non refundable debt!"he says again.
What the hell was happening? Debt?
I was seriously going insane. Did the book really creep me out this much that I started having weird nightmares?
"You have to choose between one of us who will come to your aid whenever you need it, well of course with a prize, as we are devils, we will at the end request a favour in return, the bad thing is, by any chance you lose this book, or you refuse the offer, you die!" Robin says, as if he were talking about the weather.
"WHAT!" I shouted unable to think straight with all the information I was getting, "wait wait wait, so let me get this straight...you want me, to choose one of you to keep me alive because I found your useless super book, that I now do not give a shit about,and you will also demand payment?for keeping me alive after finding this book for you?"
"Well, if that's how you want to put it,yes,"he says, his shoulders shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal.
I chuckle, cause what the hell was I supposed to do?
"Let's make this clear, I am not, at anytime, in my perfect CATHOLIC life,thinking, or even dreaming!... of making any deal with the devil! Am I clear? Never, ever, EVER! Not happening , never happening, if you want the book so badly,you can fucking take it! I don't want to be involved in your stupid cult or whatever it is going on around here," I firmly said but also chuckling. Like, were they really joking with me right now?
What kind of stupid dream was I having really ?!
"Look, I have the book in my house, in my bag, I haven't read it or even opened it, so whatever is in there you can be rest assured is not read,I can swear it, you can take it for all I care," I said in a disgruntled tone.
"Ha! What the hell did I tell you guys, they always say this on the first day, I love God, I'm saved and all that crap, but when they come to kill you, I won't save your stupid ass, and I really won't care if you die!"that jerk Nicholas says.
I really, really, really hate that guy!
" I'm sorry but I'm not 'others' as you say it! And can you watch your tongue?This is all your fault you know, I would not be in this damn place if it were not for you," I angrily say.
"Did I help you pick the book?You took it yourself. Don't blame me if you have weird fetishes on picking creepy books. And like I said,I really don't care about your life, girl, I have mine to worry about and that's more than enough as it is,"he says, his tone harsh like a blade.
Argh!!!!
"I am sorry but we don't care if you read it or not, but as my brother said earlier, the deal is totally non refundable! The book doesn't leave you till you choose,and when you are ready to choose, just call us!"Lucio said giving me a smirk.
A gust of strong wind hits my eyes and I cover my face to protect my eyes, when I open my eyes I realize that it was morning!
I was truly dreaming!
"PHEW!" I loudly exclaimed to myself. My smile so wide I feared it would cut itself out of me.
I quickly went to my bag and fished out the black book out and opened it for the first time…
"A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL"
The title written in bold, and there was a red note attached to it..
"The clock is ticking"
Wait wait wait!
Wait a minute!...
Was I not dreaming?!
"No no no no!This is not real!This is just a mysterious, creepy black book, just a stupid coincidence! NOT REAL!" I concluded to myself, trying to slow my breathing.
It takes a few minutes but my chant works and I'm calmer.
"I am not making any deal with any devil and there is no deal, I better throw this book way before anything gets out of hand!"I say as I take the book and throw it away in the trash.
"Lets see who is going to try and kill me now!"I say to myself.
Feeling lighter, I sit down for a while and catch my breath...
But inside in my heart, I knew I had to be cautious, and I was trembling, shaken!
*********
I took quick strides towards the film producing company I worked at as I thought deeply of what had happened in my sleep.
I knew that I shouldn't allow this bad feelings to overpower me. I made a promise to my mom before she died that I would take care of my little sister Uma with my life, I am all she has now and I am not going to allow some silly dream that was stating my fate for me to make my life miserable.
Especially when my dream of meeting Gorge Bates of the Canary series, and him coming to invest in one of my writings is finally going to be met.
Finally I get to meet my idol. He was captivated by my idea and finally….FINALLY,gets to invest on it!
This man was the person who inspired me to take a course in film producing. The person who made me love film. I've read all of his articles and had seen all of the movies and series he'd produced. And to finally be working with him....
It was a dream come true....
I was still in my beautiful thoughts as I bumped hard on someone, making my sling bag fall to the ground.
I look up and holy crap he was tall! I look up straining my neck to take a look at his face.
Having failed due to my shorter stature; though I was 5'9 so he was the giant, I took a step back and saw this beautiful dangerous face that would make anyone blind!
He was so...unworthily beautiful. His dark eyes so captivating they were threatening to swallow me whole and I was sure I'd be willing.
How did such a man even come to even exist!
"Aren't you even going to apologize or are you still going to stare at my face!"he said narcissistically, possibly knowing the effect his face had on people.
It was one thing for a guy to be handsome, and another whole thing for the guy to know he was handsome.Made them proud for no reason.
Either way, I was embarrassed for staring so I decided to apologize.
"Oh!um...Sorry!" I said smiling, my face turning red.
"Too late, silly girl!"he snarks rudely.
"You don't get to apologize after I say it, that's not how apologies work."
"Um, excuse me? I was going to apologize, and who are you calling silly, didn't you ever learn your manners!" I shout at him, enraged for no reason.
Since that dream, that word just made me feel like slapping the hell out of anyone who dared call me that.
He chuckles... and I personally do not understand what he saw funny in my sentence.
He bends down to meet my face.
" Look, girl! You bumped into me, then you stood there like a bag of peanuts for ten minutes straight, looking at me, wasting my valuable time and not apologizing. If I don't want your petty late apologies, you don't get force me to do so because you don't rule me. Now if we could both do ourselves a favour and spare ourselves my precious time, I would really like to take my leave, I am a very busy man, silly girl!" he says as he brushes his shoulder forcefully past me, almost knocking me flat on my behind.
A shocked gasp escapes me...
He is so rude!
I wonder why God did not give that beautiful face to someone else who is more respectable than that guy.
I pick my bag as I start walking, turning around time to time to watch him walking away.
He was so rude, but why did he seem so familiar? Like I've seen him somewhere before? Like we've met before?
Anyway, I would not want to be involved with him so I let it go.
I walk on until I reach my set, finding that the crew was already busy setting up for a scene, my assistant, Rita, running them through the orders I left her yesterday before I clocked out.
I went to her and took over, wanting everything to be perfect for Mr Bates arrival.
I wanted him to be completely wowed with the scene I was about to shoot and not regret investing in our movie.
As I was busy directing the stunts guy on what he was going to do, I hear a shrieking sound on top of my head, and people screaming. As I look up to see what sound that was, I see the chandelier for the scene creaking and breaking on top of me.
This can't be good...
"SILLY GIRL!"...
Tell me what you think
Love you all
Have a nice day!
