I snickered and laughed, "Not all humans are the same, I knew that I was adopted so there is no point in telling me that now," "So you're a smart one huh….I like that," Satan said.
"Now Xavien, tell me if just if you had a second chance in your eyes, what would a perfect life look like? Choose your words carefully," Satan said.
A perfect life? I just want a life where I'd never met him....that one guy who made me lose everything.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I tried to imagine a "perfect life" and then it hit me, no one's life can be perfect. They need to go through some or the other challenge to reach the top.
I slowly opened my eyes and I could see Satan smirking, "Now you know," he said, "So then how," "How what?" Satan asked, "How did I choose hell instead of heaven?" "You humans are all the same, you're so desperate for another chance you barely even know what's right or what's wrong."
He had seen right through me, he knew I was desperate from the start. I gritted my teeth, "In that case, I want a life where I'd never met that bastard," "You've met a lot of bastards in your lifetime, be specific," "The one who killed my family and took everything from me," I said while staring at the hot red sand beneath my feet.
"Him?" Satan chuckled, "Well yes that can be done however there is a-" "I know I know a price," I said while cutting him off. "Sometimes those old geezers tend to overshare things, I wanted to see the shock on your face when I told you there was a price," Satan said.
Well too bad, I braced myself for the condition, "There're two conditions, firstly the memories from your past, they won't be erased. Second, this new life, won't be the same as your previous life the people who were the bad guys could be the good guys. Also, you will have encounters with him but you have a fresh start. You may object and insert your useless opinion." Satan said.
"The first condition, why are you giving my previous memories back? You said the people I met wouldn't be the same and second I don't even want to see that his face ever again," "I can't erase someone from your life permanently," "But you said-" "And this is why they say that you shouldn't play with the devil," Satan said while throwing a smile at my frustrated face.
"As for the first condition, you need to figure that out yourself, what's the fun of this new life if I tell you," Satan said. I kept my mouth shut, I made the wrong choice again.
"Ok yeah so anyway, now you are going back into the real world but your identity has changed, from this moment on you are not Xavien Park, you are Kuragari Kai."
A huge ring of red light emerged from the hot red sand, there was a star in the centre of the ring and I was standing in the centre of the star, Ancient language started to encircle me. The sky turned white and I could see grey clouds, the grey clouds turned greyer and greyer until they were eventually black.
The cross I was chained to turned upside down.
"Have fun," Satan said.
A bright white light flashed from the circle. My mind went blank. I blacked out.
When I woke up I felt a sharp pain in my head, I hissed in pain, all my memories were coming back. I could hear Satan's voice inside my head, 'Enjoying the pain?' 'Does it look like I am?!'
The pain finally stopped and I got a better view of my surroundings.
I was inside a bedroom, it had ash grey walls, the floor was a beautiful black and gold marble. A crystal chandelier was hanging from the ceiling. In the centre of the room, there was a black king-sized bed, the bed had white pillows and grew sheets. In front of the bed, there was a door, which led to a walk-in closet. I saw my reflection, damn I looked hot.
I had a thin and masculine figure. I had pale white skin. I had my big lavender eyes and I had raven black hair, there was a streak of silver in my hair. I had bangs that covered my eyes, I was wearing a black shirt and black and white joggers with black sneakers. I was wearing silver earrings and there were chains around my neck.
"Kura!" A feminine voice called out, I turned around and I saw a small girl. The girl had black doe eyes, dark hair, fair skin and she was wearing a pleated dress. She looked like she was five or six years old.
'That's your sister,' 'Oh ok,' "Hey uh-" 'Satan uhm what's her name?' 'Yuqi,' "Hey Yuqi," "Kura, I want to play," Yuqi said with the most adorable look in her eyes. How could I say no to that, "Yeah sure," "Yay," she started jumping around like an excited little bunny.
"So what do you want to play?" Yuqi looked at me with a cheeky smirk, "Hide n seek," she said. Ok well, how hard can that be she's just a kid. "Count to ten Kura," she said,
"Yeah uh ok but you can only hide in this room or in the closet."
"Ok."
*Ten seconds later*
I started looking for Yuqi, after fifteen minutes I still couldn't find her. Suddenly I heard Yuqi screaming.
