I stared at him with a look of determination, overwhelmed with grief and anger.
"Naomi I want her back. I want her to know how strong my feelings for her is." I said as the hopper stared at me in the eyes. "Tell me what is your price"
"Your soul- your will- your all. Become mine. Become my servant (he bowed again) master. " I hesitated but nodded in the end. "Perfect now tell me, what do you wish for."
"What I asked for."
"Can I call you my friend?" My nod was the answer. "Move to the skull and place your hand on it's mouth. Don't be afraid of what happens afterwards." I obeyed like a vapid dog. I expected a sharp bite in my left hand and it was what I got. "That is your primogeniture. Take it."
"What do you mean my pri..." Pausing my speech, I let out the loudest Yelp of all as the pain was unbearable. The pain of the 'fusion'. The pain produced from the skull melting and seeping through my pores. Slowly and painfully, it entirely went into my hand. Then through my veins as my veins popped up visible on my skin. I fell on my knees as gasps escaped from my mouth. I thought it was over then suddenly all the agony was focused in my stomach. For some reason, terror had departed from me. I felt the pain but couldn't yell, all that escaped from my mouth was some black liquid. I looked down my tummy then sighted a deformity. For a fact it was the shape of a hand, pushing like a stretched piece of plastic. Fear begun to boil up in me but I cooled it down. As for the pain it kept multiplying. I rose up my eyes to look at the rabbit who watched it like he was viewing a movie. I felt like screaming out the pain but couldn't. Then slowly as the visibility of the hand faded, I felt something coming or someone wanted to come out. I was scared but had no fear. Slowly it pushed up to my throat, I felt like being throttled. Feeling my throat being enlarged , I knew I had to bring it up and out. After eons of silent struggle, I was relieved that it was out, relieved it wasn't a person. What came out was more of the black liquid, it looked like a pot hole filled with water. What was it? I had no idea. Bubbles kept popping up but I couldn't stop starring. Slowly it all sunk down. To where?- no idea. I looked down the hole then noticed it was the deepest one I've ever seen. It seemed bottomless yet felt amusing. I looked up and saw myself looking at me. I shook in fright with shock visible in my eyes and so did he. I stood up and so did he. It was like looking in a mirror- for we did everything in sync. It was so mesmerizing yet unbelievable. I was overpowered with curiosity and and wished to get closer.
We moved around the pit to meet. It was about a metre apart from each other.
"Hey Al'! What is he?"
"The embodiment of our deal. Hold his hand." We rose our hands stretching it towards each other. I hesitated but later complied. The moment our hands met, it turned into a dark smoke, so dark that it looked sinister. It gushed through my mouth, ears and nostrils. When all was done, Al' moved closer to me and wispered, "Master, as my servant, survive for a decade in your new beginning then we will meet again. For my second price, I will take care of it and give you a prize. On your tenth birthday, make a wish when you blow your candle and I will answer you." As l knelt there, Al' kicked me in the gut which shot me up high. As I came down falling, it was like falling for my doom. I fell straight into the pit and I kept falling.
"REMEMBER TO SURVIVE!" He screamed from above. But the fall didn't seem to end. I couldn't make sight of the bottom nor could I see any light not even from above.
