The devil gave me a mesmerizing smile, holding me in his arms. 'The storm that thrives within your vulnerable mind and heart.' His voice rose from my neck to my ear as his shimmering red eyes watched me with hunger. 'It will always attempt to consume you, always now and forever more,' His soft, black hair brushed against his pale face as he tilted his head to me, 'Until you are mine and mine alone.' I had decided. This was my decision, and I was going to pull through it. The devil's a nightmare, but he is also my guard through the pain and sorrow. He is to be my soldier, my pawn, my strong willed companion in this game. He is horrendous. He is cunning. He is amazing. He is able. He is manipulative. He is handsome. He is my black knight. My knight that follows his Queen no matter what his risk is, no matter how extreme the situation is. He is mine to control in this game of life. He is a devil in a beautiful disguise and can fool many as he roams by my side. "Pitch Black as always Master Butler." The Undertaker. "Are you apart of the incidents in this town?" The Sheriff.
