Devein's POV

I hate this. I hate having to work for such a lowly creature as humans. What's worse is that I have to look for one to work for, if anything they should be begging me to work for them. Humans are nothing, I can kill them in a second and it's degrading to have to go work for one. I'm out here doing all the work for is majesty while he eat my dinner. At that moment I felt a tingling sensation that was pulling me towards an ally down in the streets of London.

An old fat man at the age of 50 was bleeding to death with a group of men laughing right next to him. I remembered what my dad had taught me and pulled up the summoning ceremony and turned into my black snake form.

"You have summoned me here... what is it that you desire?"

"What I desire? Who are you?"

"A demon, I should warn you that you will not be able to enter heaven if you choose to make a contract with me. Do you still wish to get what you want?"

"What I want... what I want is... I want to get revenge on everyone who ever defiled me and to make my company the best." lowlife

"Are you willing to achieve this at the cost of heaven and your soul?"

"Yes, I want to get all the money I can and rub it in my enemy's faces." pig

"Where would you like the contract symbol? The more noticeable it is the stronger our contract."

"Put it on the side of my forehead."

"Very well." I appeared to her in my human form and walked up to her still in the summoning ceremony. "And what will be my name?"

"Devile Evenant you will be my personal servant."

"Very well. When you want me to do something all you have to say is, Devile I order you to..."He nodded in response.

"Devile, I ORDER YOU TO KILL THOSE ME LAUGHING IN MY MISERY!"

"Yes master." Within seconds they were dead and I had killed my first humans.

After a few more kills and convincing I had moved him out of the streets of London and into one of the more finer neighbor hoods with an increasing food company all within three years. Within these three horrible years I had been yelled at, beaten, and taken advantage of.

"Devile! Why are you such a small boy! It's been what twenty years since you have started working for me! You should grow!"

"Forgive me master it has only been three years and demons appearance age much less than a humans."

"Don't talk back to me! Maybe I can beat the puberty into you and you should learn some respect." He threw me on the ground and started to kick me repeatedly, it didn't hurt, but it was so disgraceful that I felt pain.

"You work for me you should be grateful for that!"

"I am, thank you master."

"Now bring me my dinner, my guest do not deserve my presence while they eat."

"Yes master"

"And Devile, remember what I said. You. Work. For. ME..."

"Yes master, I remember."

"No go and bring me the two prostitutes we found on the street earlier after my dinner, they will be my dessert." He gave an evilly disgusting perverted face. How disgusting. I got up and bowed then left to go get the already made dinner. How long must it go on... has he forgotten that he is in the position that he is in only because of me?! Without me he would be nothing! Without me he would be dead by now! Well, with me he is as good as dead. I smirked to myself, but quickly took it off when I opened back up the door to his studies. After that I brought him his dessert and continued on with attending to his manor.

With everything done I was left to my own thoughts. I though back on the day I made that contract with him. It was twenty-one years ago that this all started... on that rainy day when I said goodbye to my sister. I hope that she is alright and that the royal family hasn't done anything to them about the late souls. I need to finish this job ass soon as possible. What was the deal we made when I said I wanted to work for him for his soul. What a disgusting soul. My stomach doesn't growl for it in the slightest. Heh, his highness can have this one all to himself. I just need to get back to Alicia as soon as possible, she's not the strongest, I don't know how well she would do in my position. I wonder what she looks like now? I hope she is still as happy as I remember her. I need to finish this soon. What were his exact words?

"I want to get revenge on everyone who defiled me and to make my company the best, I want to get as much money as I can and rub it into my enemy's faces." Well I got the revenge one down, and the money one since he never said a specific amount. He has also rubbed it into their faces. Now what about his food department company? I would say he has the best food for the commoners.

"Game over" I smirked and made my way into his room. My demon aurora was seeping out of me rapidly. I burst through his door and he greeted me with a terrified expression.

"Hello... master" a painful scream ripped through the air as I killed him and took his soul. When I was finished I took his soul and put it into one of his old necklaces to give to his majesty. I smiled to myself as I looked at the necklace dangling from my hand.

"Sister... I'm coming home"

I finally opened the portal between the human and demon world carrying the soul I collected in my hands. I had never seen an actual soul before in whole or I don't remember what it looks like, because I can barely remember my last meal. The one I was carrying was pitch black and reminded me of his heart and personality. I was excited to see my sister after twenty-one years, but I know I have to deliver the soul to his majesty.

The long walk from my portal to the old vintage style castle that his majesty lived in got me bored and I started to daydream and think about my little sister. I hope she hasn't changed much; I want her to look the same as she did before. I didn't know the whole soul giving process, but I'm pretty sure that I just go to the castle and give it to someone there. When I do arrive at the old Victorian castle a demon looked and inspected the soul. He looked shocked, but what shocked me even more than him is that he was leading me inside.

I was taken through various hallways and would be lost if left to on my own. We finally came to a grand door with demons on each side opening them for me. Inside was the king of hell himself sitting comfortably on his thrown. Slightly annoyed he was given the soul and for a slight second I thought I saw complete anger, but the smile he gave me the next second told me other wise.

"In all my years, I have never seen a soul quite like this one. Please tell me your family name so that I may erase them from my list."

"Shantus..."

"Very well Mr. Shantus, I will send your family a reward later."

A reward? What does that mean?

"Your highness?"

"Yes?"

"Do you mean that my family wont have to provide souls for you anymore? Are we going to move up the economic ladder?" I asked quickly and desperately.

"If that is what you want? How about I have you work for me? You of course would be living here instead and I know that that is a big decision, so I think that I will allow you to think this over." I nodded and he gave an amused smirk. "Now I think that you will be wanting to talk to your family about this now, am I right? You best be getting home now."

"Thank you, your highness. I will give an answer as soon as I can." I bowed and was escorted out of the palace.

I was now on my way home and back on the dirt road. I looked up at the red sky, now turning to black. It's getting late, I need to get to home quicker if I want to make it there before dark. I can't wait to see my sister and family and tell them all what had happened. I wonder what I should do about his job offering. It would be much better working for a instead of a human. My teeth gritted at the thought of the disgusting creatures. I continued walking until I saw my house come into view. My head perked up and I could feel all the emotions inside of me as I ran as fast as I could towards it.

"Sis! Mom! Dad! I home!" I scream out as I open the door. I immediately get down on my knees waiting for my little sister to tackle me with the biggest hug she can give. I wait for a couple seconds, but nothing. No sister. No anybody... I get up and start to walk around the house looking for someone. I turn the corner where the old wooden stairs are, when I suddenly hear my name.

"Devein?" I turn around to see my mom standing there with tears in her eyes. "Devein, is that really you?"

"Its me mom, I'm home" the next thing I know my mom is hugging me. "Mom not that I'm not happy to see you, but where is dad and Alicia?"

"Oh your sister is in the market place getting supplies and your father... well"

"Well what?"

"He's not doing well... he's upstairs in bed sleeping right now. You should go see him and then maybe your sister will be home when your done." I nodded and then headed upstairs.

My dad was lying in bed too weak to even look at me. I sat down on the side of the bed right next to him

"Hi dad... I missed you. Did you take care of the girls while I was gone? I bet you did. I love you... hope you get better." I heard the door downstairs open and close again. Sister... I got up and went downstairs finally going to go see my sister again. After I raced downstairs I stood there looking at my sister. Her black hair was longer, she was taller than before, and she looked older. I now bent down and opened my arm for a hug.

She started walking towards me, she wasn't smiling, but I figured that she was just as happy as I felt.

"Brother...?" she said as she now stood right infront of me.

"yes its me. Its your big brother" we both stood there until I saw my sisters hand raise and swing at my face. It took me a minute to realize what had just happened, until I figured it out. My little sister just slapped me.

"Why?" he looked down. "How could you have just left me like you did?!" she started to yell at me. I was in complete shock. "You promised me that you would be back here soon! You promised that you would be here for me when I grew up! Well take a good look at me. I've already grown up and you weren't here!" Tears started streaming down her face. She doesn't know why I left? Why haven't mom or dad told her yet! No wonder she hates me now she thinks that I just abandoned them!

"I'm sorry, but I did it for you" my voice became a bit shaky and my heart started to tighten up.

"Don't give me that! How could you think that abandoning me would help me! I hate you for leaving me all alone!" she quickly ran past me and up the stairs. A tear finally leaked down my cheek as I struggled to keep the rest of it in. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you for leaving me alone! Alone. Alone? How could I have left my little sister all alone? Her words continued to echo through my mind until I noticed my mom standing in between the old rotten doorway with a sad look on her face.

"Why didn't you tell her while I left! Now she hates me!"

"I'm sorry, your father and I just couldn't bare to bring it up. The topic was always upsetting to her."

"That's no excuse... I just wanted to be there for her throughout her life. She promised me that she wouldn't change... what happened to that promise? What happened to my little sister?"

"Time happened..."

"You know the soul that I got?"

"Yes? What about it?"

"I brought it to his majesty and he was so impressed with it that he removed our name from the punishment list and offered me a job in the palace."

"Oh that's wonderful. Thank you, thank you so much."

"I wasn't going to accept it at first because I wanted to be here with Alicia, but... she hates me now. So I thought that I could work and send half of what I make here, that way I will still be able to help you guys out here. Besides considering dad's condition, I think that this is the best option."

"When will you leave."

"I should probably go now, I said that I would tell him my decision the moment I decide."

"Very well... I just hope... that you will visit often."

"I will don't worry mother."

"Good bye..."

"Good bye..." she hugged me and then kissed me goodbye as I walked out the door.

Time skip

I was back on my way to hells palace to tell the king I would accept his job offer. I gritted my teeth as I heard my sister's words replaying over and over again in my mind like never ending agony. A guard saw me when I reached the palace and he led me back to his majesty.

"So you have returned with an answer I presume?"

"Yes... I would be honored to work for you, your majesty."

"Wonderful. Now I guess I must uphold my part of the deal." He gave me a soft smile, and for a moment, just a moment, I felt my sadness lifted off my shoulders. He clapped his hands. "General, go immediately."

"Yes sir!" he replied. Then he and a bunch of other men left.

"W-where are they going?"

"They're going to do their job."

"W-what's they're job" his smirk made chills run down my spine.

"They're removing your family from the list... permanently" My eyes widened with shock.

"No..." I whispered as a tear grazed my cheek as it fell down. "THAT'S NOT WHAT I AGREED TO!"

"You wished to remove them from my debt list so I did and put them on the execution list, and it just so happens that they are next in line."

"I DIDN'T WANT THEM ON ANY LIST YOU BASTARD!" the tears streamed down my face.

"Is that any way to talk to your king!?" he abruptly stood up from his thrown and I backed up a step. "You insolent fool! You should be grateful! I am allowing you to keep your life and giving you a job!"

"What about the soul I gave to you? You said it was a soul of which you have never seen before! I thought that it was special!"

"Idiot! Of course I've never seen a soul like that. It was pitch black! The most corrupted soul I have ever seen!" I bit my lip.

"I-I'm sorry. It was my first time how was I supposed to know?"

"Why am I supposed to care? That was an insult to your king!" my head now hanged low with tears falling off my face. I looked up at a smirking king and bolted out of the palace. I don't know how I managed to make it out of all the winding hallways, but I did. I had never ran so fast in my life and I would've appeared as a blur to a human eye.

In a matter of seconds I was looking out at a horrific scene. My home was up in flames.

"Sister!" I screamed out at the top of my lungs. I was too late to save her... I was too late to save any one of them. I will kill you Lucifer.

"Do you hear me?" I clenched my fist until they turned white and started to bleed "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY SISTER!"
