[WP] Satan owes you a favor. Now the time has come for him to pay up and he is begging you to choose anything else than what you just asked for.

"You know, I really hate when someone talks bad about my friends. It gets to me, it irks me, it get under my skin and fills me with rage. My old boss did it once, you know that." he begun to trail off, losing himself in the moment.

He spun on his heel, bracing his desk. Now looking eye to eye at the one sitting across from him. A stare that could cut down empires, laser locked at me. Someone who by all counts should anywhere else but just happens to be there.

"I got to tell you when I heard this! I didn't know what to think, you know what that is like?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, "Lu, I'm sorry but this is what I want! Besides you're talking me out of it, you kind of screwed me once like that. Listen I can still do my work, everything else is in motion!"

Rising to my feet, "And why the fuck can't I have what I want!? What does it matter! I was supposed to die anyway right?"

The warmth of the room suddenly felt chill, "Did you really want all the extra work Lu? Just another couple billion souls? To keep playing sheriff to that prick brat former employer!?"

He just stared at me, no starring past me. Shit!..was it my pitch or my tone. I tried to regain my composure as the realization of who exactly I am standing before washes back over me, "well did you want the bullshit or not?"

Nervous is an understatement, I just rose my voice to Satan, I'm so screwed, pretty sure he is going to just kil...

"No, Not really" he spoke & winced reflecting his inner thoughts.

Did he just say no? "Wait, what seriously? Then why the push, why all this?"

The room almost shifted, it seemed lighter more spacious. The stone accents now complimenting the soothing cool air flowing in. Creaking breaks the silence as the side door of the office opens.

"Well!" His tone shifted, as our attention turned to see Casey walking in. "I was hoping you'd watch her for a little while"

"let me get this right, I've been the last key to setting in motion war world 3!" A dread like no other lit fire to my bones, "all for the purpose of babysitting my god daughter!?"

Casey stopped mid step, "Daddy, how dare you! we talked about this! You Promised!!!!" Her voice became shrill, her words had force, they had anger, and they struck him hard.

Casey is one of Lu's many kids, and like other parent they need a break once in a while. We met years earlier, he dropped her off at a summer camp I was working at. Turns out to be a pretty universal thing, interaction with erm them... So much that most of the human race know at least someone, who well isn't.

"sweety, I..I'm sorry... yes I..." She's isn't letting him get in a word, closing the distance he starts to back up.

Casey had a habit of running off into the forest, sometimes she'd come back and then sometimes we'd have to go find her. Once night fell, no one else was willing to go out to find her. Except me, I guess you could say she struck a cord with me. It was kind of fun too, she was a smart kid. The kind that could only relate to those 10 years her senior, the kind that had a spark of the "divine" in her which no one her own age understood. The first night I found her shivering, having slipped into a stream. So I gave her my hoodie to keep warm as I carried her back to camp with night fallen around us. I kept an eye on her all summer after that.

Now that so called scared little girl, is ripping Satan, The Fallen Star, The Dark Lord himself.. a bloody new Asshole! It's really impressive, "of all the pitiful, two faced bullshit.." she's still not letting up.

He's starting to look at me for help, I know better. She did it to me once, and I haven't been the same person since. Its sort of fun to watch him sweat. However this is ending soon, she has him on the ropes. Throwing his hands up, "FINE!" echoing through chambers. She won, there was no hiding it as he cleaned the sweat from his brow. She's got that smug look on her face now, to hell with anyone who says its not deserved.

"No war! But you're still not getting what you want!" Pointing at me, I recoiled in shock... "And before you blame me, that part of the deal is up to her!"

Fuck my li.. how could I forget!!! Hmm...Maybe he'll kill me out of mercy.
