''Considering the kind of person you are, I don't doubt that you'll find the whole experience euphoric. In fact, I can't help but wonder if you're even afraid of death at all. Then again, as you said, I've give you reason to know that there's something else beyond death, even though it's not very pleasant. Even if you enjoy twisted things, I can assure you that our attendants down there will find something that you will absolutely hate. It's their job afterall, and just like me, they're very good at what they do.''
''I'm afraid that my point of view differs on the whole killing a stranger thing. You see, for me, this is work. What the family thinks is irrelevant...'' He paused for a moment, smirking mischeviously. ''... In fact, it's usually suggested that most of the time, we try to make it look like an accident. Of course this is nothing but a suggestion, one that I don't care a single bit for. It's impossible to track down one of us afterall, as far as mortals are concerned, we don't exist.''
''You won't remember a thing, sad as it is. Simply telling you about your past would mark both of us for a swift purging, it's quite a serious rule. Besides, does it really matter in the end? You will keep your personality, who you really are. The only thing gone will be your memories... It's not that bad, trust me.'' He added that last part without thinking about it, but it ringed true to his ears. 'Trust me' he had said, as if he himself had been a mortal before... He had said it on a simple impulse, nothing more, it came naturally... What if...
A sharp pain raced through his head as he tried to remember and he paused for a second, holding his forehead, a pained expression on his face. ''G-Give me a moment...'' He said, trying to clear his mind. It took nearly a full minute for the demon to shake his head and feel fine again. ''My apologies, not a very good thing to think about the past, quite painful I assure you. The more I think about it, the more it hurts. I think if I really tried to put some serious thought into it, my head would explode... At least that's what it feels like.'' The demon laughed dryly... It was half a joke, but deep down, a part of him really believe that could happen.
''You were staring at your watch weren't you?'' The demon said, before the pain coursed through his head, he had noticed it for a split second. ''Going to keep that appointment or...?''
