Devil

5

Walking.

"What if I die one day?"

The devil got me ice cream when I finish school.

You can say that he had been picking me up from school since mom never came.

She never pick me up no matter how many times she say she will.

"I'll make you one of us."

"Really?"

He's eating an ice cream too while giving me a nod.

Making a turn, I walk in to the dirty alley and there is a guy.

He dressed really sloppy and dirty.

I think he's a beggar.

Throwing away the ice cream stick, I pulled the stripe of my bag as I continue walk in.

"Girl,"

The beggar stopped me from going further as he crouched down to my eye level.

"Don't you dare touch her."

The devil let out a low growl beside me, looking in to his eyes and so did I.

He dropped his ugly smiley face now and I blinked my eyes slowly, smirking just like the devil beside me.

"Be good and not hurt kids. I will break your fingers before you could do so."

"H-How-"

Devil snapped his fingers and the eyes of the beggar had lost its light, falling down on the ground.

Lifeless.

"Is he dead?"

"As long as you left this alley."

He said and show me a hand, "Let's go."

I held his hand tightly, giving him a smile.

And we walked out from the alley.

Without a scratch.
