Chapter Text
Lucy's face was damp from her tears even though she tried she couldn't stop her eyes from weeping. She rubbed her eyes slightly so she could at least attempt to make out what was in front of her. To quiet her wild thoughts, she picked up the knife and dug it slightly into her hand. You would think there would be a reaction but it was as if she was numb to the pain. She put a few drops of blood onto the pentagram and began chanting.
"Hear me, demon lord Diavolo, i summon you. To grant a wish in exchange for my soul"
Once she finished chanting she kneeled down and as if on command a man appeared before her. Well, he looked mostly like a man but had black horns, wings sprouting out of his back and muscles for days! Lucy shook her head slightly as if trying to shake her thoughts away. A deep voice made her look up at the face of the demon before her.
"What is this wish you want me to grant? Honestly, im surprised someone so young would have the guts to summon me...aren't you scared?"
Lucy tilted her head "Not exactly, intimated is more the word for it" she looked into his eyes before sighing
"I wish for you to take me away or to kill me which ever takes to your liking more. Both of them take to my ultimate wish which is to be taken away from this place" She bites her lip nervously and looks at her lap.
Diavolo looks down at the human.
"She seems too young to want to be taken away..." He thought to himself and he began noticing himself feeling sympathy towards the small being.
"I will not kill you." Lucy looks up in surprise? No, it's almost as if she's disappointed? That can't be it, right?
"I have a small proposal for you. I want humans, angels and demons to get along. So you will become the foundation to my project, basically an exchange program. It will last a year, if at the end of the year you still wish to make this deal than so be it but i hope for otherwise. Im doing this as it works in my favor. " Chuckling slightly he mutters " Saves me from having to look through all the paper work"
"Who thought the demon lord would be so lazy" Lucy giggled to herself before thinking about what has just been said. Her face becomes serious again as she looks at him once again.
"I accept" She whispers so quietly that if Diavolo had been human he wouldn't have heard but lucky for him he wasnt, obviously. Lucys mind was going mad, her anxiety was building up quite quickly but she decides to ignore it.
"Good then we'll be on our way then"
"Wait wha-"
There was a flash of light before they appeared in some sort of court room. Diavolo held his hand out for Lucy to grab. She took it carefully and then stood up.
A man was standing before her. He looked rather annoyed as he stared her down with a gaze which could destroy armies.
"And who might this be?"
