1 || deal with the devil

another day, another fight.

every day, a demon comes to her. challenging her again, knowing they'll lose. the girl let out a sigh, landing the final blow on the other demon.

she turns to look upon hell, rolling her blood red eyes. she gently swished her hair over her shoulder, frowning at the sight.

she was beautiful. anyone could see it. even when she was in her darkest form, she still shined over all others.

everyday in hell was long. they always seemed to be the same, and all the demon wanted was to leave.

suddenly, she smiled. her sharp teeth showed through her lips. a thought had come to her.

she slowly closed her crimson eyes. she listened to the screams of the damned and the laughing of the tormentors. the sounds that soothed her to sleep. the sounds that soon burned out, replaced by a horrified plea.

she searched further, until she heard a small voice. the child was in pain. she smiled, searching for the little girl.

she was so small, so frail. but her soul... her souls was so pure. she was a rarity among humans, and the woman couldn't help but laugh. she would be quite the feast.

the small girl sobbed. she screamed for someone, for anyone to help her. tears streamed down her sunken in face.

in a moment, the woman disappeared from hell. soon after, she appeared in front of the young girl.

the girl looked up, some hope in her youthful eyes. she smiled at the demon, reaching out to her.

the beautiful devil finally spoke, taking small steps towards her. "you have summoned me here," each step was followed by the click of her heels, each time getting closer and closer to the girl.

"that can never be changed, and nothing sacrificed can ever be regained." the clicks suddenly stopped. the demon bent down. putting her hand out for the girl.

"now, choose." the girl grasped her hand. a burning mark appeared in her small eye, blood falling from the mark. but the girl wasn't in pain, but actually the opposite.

the girls troubled expression disappeared. she looked into the devils eyes, nodding her small head. she smiled.

"my soul... will be yours to take. just please, get me out of this dreaded place." the demons dark form soon changed, showing an equally beautiful woman, dressed in all black. the demon scooped the girl into her arms, killing her captors and everyone in sight.

the demon set the girl down gently. suddenly, she dropped on to one knee, putting her hand over where her heart would be. she smiled up at her new master, the mark on her hand glowing a brilliant purple.

"of course, my lady."

another day, another sunrise.

y/n looked out the window, beginning her work at an inhuman speed. the other servants were not yet awake, though they should be soon.

she took a moment to look at the sunrise, taking in its beauty. it was a sight she had seen for quite a while now, but still enjoyed seeing every time.

the woman cleaned every inch of the house, finishing just in time. she made breakfast, placing the food onto the dining room table.

she walked slowly to her mistresses room, heels clicking as she moved.

reaching the door, she opened it and went to the window.

drawing open the curtains, sunlight streamed in on her mistresses sleeping form.

lucia stirred, opening her mismatched eyes. a beautiful blue on the right. on the left, the devils mark.

she glanced up at her butler, groaning loudly. the demon smiled, holding out lucia's eyepatch.

"good morning, mistress. you will have dance lessons at 2 today, so be prepared to move around a lot." y/n said. lucia gave a confused look, putting on her eyepatch.

"dance lessons? why? i already know how to dance." she got up and allowed y/n to begin dressing her.

"we have to attend lord ciel phantomhive's constume ball tonight. it's been a while since you've had lessons, so i thought you might need to be reminded." lucia sighed and started to brush her hair.

"the queen's guard dog? why would he want to invite me, i've never even met him." lucia moaned, frowning at y/n.

y/n smiled. "you're a very important figure in london, mistress. he probably wants to meet you. maybe he's cute!" the demon joked. lucia laughed at this, playfully hitting her arm. she sat back and continued brushing her hair.

y/n took a moment to examine her master. lucia was a small girl, only 13. she had a very petite frame. her long blonde hair was curly, and her bangs fell just above her eyes. she was never a fan of dresses, wearing a boyish blue suit. her delicate hands pulled the brush over her curls, messing them up in the process.

the demon sighed, quickly helping her master to fix her ruined hair. she escorted lucia to the dining table, bringing her favorite tea. lucia excused her, and she left the room quickly, moving to check on the servants.

she ran in to atticus, her closest friend in the household, first. while y/n was head butler, atticus simply took the title of 'butler'. he was a tall man, with dark hair and eyes. he had many freckles on his tanned skin, and always had a lost look in his eyes.

he smiled upon seeing y/n. he'd grown quite interested in the woman, and he tried his best to impress her when he could. y/n gave a smile back, nodding at him.

"hey atticus. have you seen the others? i'm making sure they're getting their work done." she spoke, her soft voice filling the air around them.

"yes ma'am. last time i saw them, everyone was in the grand hall. please, let me know if you need any help!" atticus smiled dreamily, staring into y/n's pretty (e/c) eyes.

she smiled, thanking him and moving to the grand hall. the others were all working, as it seemed. she looked at her pocket watch, seeing it was around 1:45. a second later, lucia's dance instructor came to the door.

y/n had celeste escort the instructor to the ball room and to get lucia. celeste was a maid of the house. y/n watched her leave with the instructor, and looked back at the others.

the demon quickly walked over to adrian and idris. they were the chef and gardener here.

y/n called the duo 'dumb and dumber'. she enjoyed messing with them, as they always managed to mess something up. still, she adored the two boys silly attitudes.

the boys greeted y/n upon seeing her, saying a quick hello. y/n smiled, saying a quick hello and walking away.

the girl decided to go outside, sniffing the air around her. she loved to go in the garden, as it was filled with white roses, her favorite flower. it was one of her favorite things to see in the human world.

her brow suddenly furrowed and her eyes narrowed. somewhere near, there was another demon. she recognized the smell. there was likely another demon living nearby, as she was sometimes able to sense them.

the girl sighed, running a hand through her (h/c) locks. she stayed in the garden for a while, helping idris a bit when he decided to come outside.

y/n frowned, remembering that she had to prepare for the ball tonight. she had a bad feeling about it. but, she chose to ignore the thought burning at her skull.

if only the demon would have known then, the bad feeling in the pit of her stomach wouldn't have been ignored.
