Bloody Deal

by Brittney Follett   Oct 18, 2007


Passionate kisses upon a dying man.
The light is fading from his eyes.
Air barely escaping his parted lips.
Crimson blood around where he lies.

Staring at his face, she's holding his hand.
With a last gasp for air, he struggles.
"Baby I love you." His words rush out.
Sitting next to his corpse, she trembles

Body numb she sits there for hours.
A shadow lingers watching her, scheming.
It clicks its tongue inside of its mouth,
Her heartbeat in her head is pounding.

Approaching her it settles behind her.
"My dear, sitting here won't bring him back."
Startled by the noise, she spins around
Snapping it's fingers, her world goes black.

Waking upon a cold stone floor,
She scrambles toward the light.
In a chamber, she sees him on a throne.
"Welcome darling, glad you woke up."

The Devil flashes his white pointed teeth,
Danger reeks from his dark form..
Sneering at him she spits at his feet.
The mood in the room suddenly transforms.

Lightning crackles, pain sears her being.
She's blown to the floor, writhing in agony.
The pain subsides, she's covered in her blood
"Oh, my dear, you are quite messy."

Raising his nose in disgust he tells her
"Come my dear and join me here."
Gesturing beside him, her 'mess' cleaned.
A chair appears before him, "Sit.. please."

Giving him a hateful look she doesn't move.
Smiling crookedly, in a flash he stands before her.
"Darling you need to learn some respect."
Face to face, in the light his red eyes glitter.

"You want your love to come back or not?"
Hope and joy fill her soul, "Yes I do."
Grinning malevolently he grabs her wrist.
"You'll do anything to get him back?"

"Anything. Anything you want."
Eying her up and down, he chuckles.
"So its a deal then?" He holds out his hand.
She grasps his hand, her knees buckle

Shrieking in agony, her insides squirm.
He's stealing her soul, best thing about evil.
Blank eyes stare out of her lifeless body.
Looking at it the Devil starts to giggle.

Her soul is screaming inside his head.
Calling forth another body, empty as hers.
It's beautiful, sculptured to perfection.
Placing her spirit inside it, she gasps for air.

Staring at her hands she starts to tremble.
Hauling her into the Room the Dead
He summons forth her love's spirit.
He appears staring at his new love...

The Devil glances at her and then him
He turns on his heel and leave the room
"Five minutes love birds, make it quick."
Drifting toward her asks "What did you do?"

Explaining to him what had happened.
"I didn't know that it would end like this..."
The Devil comes, her lovers body at hand.
"And now for the sweet goodbye kiss."

Restoring the spirit into his body,
The lovers embrace and then gently
They kiss for the very last time,
"I love you too baby, I'm so sorry."

With those last words, he disappears.
"Come on Darling, its me and you now."
The Devil chuckles, this all took no effort
Not a bead of sweat upon his brow.

Grasping her by the waist, she whispers:
"I cannot believe that this is real..."
And this all happened just because:
She and the Devil made a Bloody Deal.
