The lonely man waited at the edge of a cliff. It was a very cold and misty night with the full moon as the only light source for miles, the only thing the man wore for warmth was an old jacket and pants that were ripped. Still that man waited for hours to the point that he wondered if it was only a prank. But he had no choice but to wait or else he had to go back to his pregnant wife and look back into her depress face.
Finally that man saw him, a tall figure who was wearing a long coat that stretched to his feet, his face was covered by the shadows that come from his wide-brimmed hat that from afar looked like a cowboy hat. There was something odd about him like he wasn't quite human so the man walked up to him, "E-Excuse me." he said.
"Yes, you must be John." Came a deep voice from the dark figure. So it was the creature John was told to look for. "I--I've heard that you could help."
"Yes I can." Although they were talking the figure still looked out towards the ocean but John was close enough to him to make out his eyes, they clearly were not human instead they were yellowish almost reptilian like.
"Well you see." John said still nervous, "I was just fired from my job of ten years, I have a wife and we are expecting our first child, and times are rough....."
"So you come to me seeking money." The monster interrupted, "Quite a desperate man, but money isn't enough as it will certainly run out what you need is also power alongside that wealth. Power to protect your family, and to ensure you have more money flowing into you bank."
"Yes you are quite right." John agreed.
"However you humans must know about cause and effect. If I give you these gifts what would you return to me?"
"My soul"
"Your Soul.... Your SOUL!" The demon laughed "And what use is a soul to me? What would I do with a soul!"
"Well what can I give you?" John asked terrified now, what could it be that the demon wanted.
"You said earlier that you are expecting a daughter."
"A child" John clarified.
"It will be a daughter." The demon insisted, almost knowing what will happen. "If you offer me your daughter, I will give you what you want."
John was shocked, he never thought he would have to give his child to the demon, but what choose did he have. "Ok, I accept, I will give you my daughter for exchange of wealth and power."
"Excellent." The demon said before turning and walking away, "When you wake up, your life and that of your family will change but when the time is right I will came back to take what is mine."
