The Advent Of The End

Chapter 17: Contracts

"So, what do you need from me?" Ayako asked, while Ezekiel is sitting right beside her, holding him down in his hand and gripping it tightly so he can't and won't escape.

"We knew you were a high level mage" Pierre replied "And so I hope you can help us dispel a possession mark from countless people".

"And how will you pay my services?" Ayako asked, looking down at them three "As you know that I won't work for free".

"We'll give you Ezekiel for a day?" Evan said, trying to bargain against a mage, from which he never done before and is a bit anxious. But, he is willing to throw Ezekiel as bait if it meant that she will help them.

"And why should I agree?" She hugged him harder again "She's my little brother and I have all rights on him" She raised her hand and started to chant until a dark electricity started to appear, as it got bigger and faster as time passed. "Besides, I could kill you all if I wanted too".

"She does has a point" Castriel answered, thinking of another thing to bargain with.

"Killing us meant Ezekiel will hate you forever" He looked at the now pitiful Ezekiel, listening and doing anything her sister wants forcefully, as he has no choice forever. "Right, Ez?"

"There's no way he'll hate me...."

"I hate y..." Ayako covered his mouth.

"ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT!" She admitted "HE HAS ALWAYS HATED ME EVER SINCE BUT THIS FEELING..." She touched her bouncy chest, calming down a bit and talking in a subtle, alluring voice "This feeling of pure love for my little brother" She looked down at the table "Is something that will never fade, no matter how hard I tried"

"Let's have a deal" Evan said "We'll give you Ezekiel for a month in exchange on helping us with the possessed and the incoming horde of Scorpix coming in six months from now".

Ayako started to think if the deal is something advantageous to her, hugging her brother much more tighter, making him suffocate more faster. Then, she let go.

"Deal"

"Yes...."

"However" Ayako added "My brother will tell me how he truly loves me and follows all of my...."

"Most" Evan added, not knowing what she will mean by *all orders*

"Fine. Most orders I gave to him, deal?" She replied, reaching out her hand in a form of handshake. But retrieve it anyway and said something else instead. She winked to Evan "Contract".

Suddenly, a big white paper is seen at the left side of the table, blocking Castriel who was seating on the left chair.

"Hey" Castriel complained "What the he..."

"I think you already know what this is" She gave him a serious, interested look at the person in front of him. "E-van"

"What are you talking about?" He replied, looking at her, confused as to what she's talking about.

"So, where playing that game then" Ayako laughed a little while only Ezekiel stared at it in curiosity, as when Castriel stood up and saw what they're doing, she returned to her seat in silence. Pierre also remained quiet, as he knows how important this is. "I'll play along to your lie, but remember" She answered, patting Ezekiel at the head "That all lies will be revealed, and no secret shall always be hidden forever" She clapped her hands and a big ink showed up at the big paper, starting on the left side on top. "Let's start shall we?" As she said those words, the ink pen started to write.

*A CONTRACT THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED, OR THE PERSON WHO DISOBEYS, THE LIFE FORFEITS*

"I know we're on a serious note" Ezekiel said, pointing at the big paper on their right(or to Evan, his left) "But, what is that thing?"
