Samantha, Sam for short, was drawing on her iPad and listening to random songs when an interesting sound caught her attention. She stopped what she was doing to quietly sing the song as best she could. The beat got her bobbing her head and tapping her fingers along. She was having a blast listening to this unknown song.

Flames burst behind her. Sam, not knowing what to do, stood up knocking down her chair. She was about to run from the flames, thinking up her next move. She has never been in a fire before. Never even imagined it.

Out of the fire came a demon of sorts. "Who dare summon me in the tongue of the old!?" He demanded.

Shocked Sam knew not what to do. She had never summoned a demon before. She has heard of such things but this seemed different. How was she supposed to know the song would summon the beast?

"Speak now child or else!" He sneered her way. He was impatient that's for sure.

"What's your name?" She mumbled without thinking. Sam knew what a demon was as her mother always forbid her from learning such things. Saying things like "it will steal your soul" and "you will never see the light of day" like Sam was naive. Albeit she was, as she was an ordinary child like everyone else.

"My name? you ask? How dare you!" The demon almost looked offended by what she asked. The poor child knew no better. "I'll ask again! Who dares summon me?"

"Sam... M-my name is Sam." She says stumbling over her words. The demon scared her, but she was too curious about him. Why was he here? Did the song really summon him? She would wonder.

"Sam... Is it short for something? I've never heard such a name." He says curiously.

"Yes... Uh, Samantha... It's short for Samantha." She says looking the demon up and down. Sam liked the red-skinned demon. She thought it suit him as red was her favorite color. "What should I call you?"

"Call me? I, the great demon, shall not be anything! No human shall know my name!" He boasted.

"How can I understand you?" Sam curiously asked as her fear slipped away.

The demon said nothing as he was stuck thinking. He was stunned he didn't know the answer. He, the great demon, did not know.

"How dare a human ask such a question! Don't you know manners?" The demon shouted at the little lady in front of him. Her eyes shimmered with curiosity. He could tell she was pure as snow. Those hopeful eyes, the curiosity, the fire in her soul. He wanted it all. "What do you wish for, human?"

"Wish? Me?" Sam asked confused. What kind of wish was the demon talking about? Was he going to steal her soul like her mother always told her?

"Yes, you who else would I be talking to?" The demon asked annoyed. "I will grant you any wish you want, but only one. No more." The demon continued softly.

"A wish. Any? I've never thought of one," She said innocently. "Will you take my soul?"

The demon now shocked didn't know what to say. How did a human know such things? There was no way for them to know. It's part of the contract. "Yes, for your soul. A wish will be granted as long as I get your soul once you die." He says calmly.

His calmness scared Sam. "Will you kill me?" She asked wide-eyed.

"If you wish it." He says simply.

"I do." She says not even thinking. It was true. Sam always wanted her life to end. She wanted a peaceful death, not one that would hurt. If this demon would kill her swiftly and stay by her side, then she was willing to die. She always wanted a companion by her side, especially in death. She learned that no matter who you met, you could never be too sure they would stay by your side as death takes you.

"Is that what you wish?" The demon asked getting closer to her.

"Yes," she whispers, looking the demon in the eyes. He was all so calm, it kept her calm. How could a demon be so sweet, if they were such horrible beings?

"Then I shall grant it." He says swiftly taking Sam's soul out of her body, in one move of his hand. She didn't feel a thing.

The demon held Sam's hand as he took her down the hole in the floor. He was going to take her soul back to his place, with all the others. Sam's soul would make a nice collection. The start of the best collection. The demon was excited about the new adventures.

"Will you stay by my side?" Sam asks floating with the demon.

"For now and forever." The demon says.
