Landon peered into an allyway by the bar. We'd come alone. Come on, we're the fucking Prince and Princess of Hell, what's this weirdo gonna do?

Landon and I's ears were perked up, straining to catch any noise as we entered the ally. Our tails were both sticking straight up, we were tense, on alert.

Then, we heard footsteps, and we both turned around as a man entered, sort of wolf-looking. He had an eerie smile plastered on his face that reminded me of Father's, only Father's wasn't as truly terrifying. Not to me and Landon or anyone else in the hotel, maybe those outside it. But this man's grin sent chills down my spine.

My heart lerched as Vexton and Kelly followed close behind him, their heads down.

"Kells? Are you okay?" Landon whispers, stepping forward, only for the wolf-man-thing to put up his hands.

"Ah, ah, ah, not another step little prince~" he hissed, two chains appearing in the guy's hands, connecting to two cuffs on Vex and Kelly's necks. "Unless of course, you want them dead. That's always an option."

Landon's eyes narrowed, a glare twisting onto his features. "Let them go bitch."

"Now, now, now, is that any way to speak to your grandfather~?" The wolf asks.

My heart stopped.

Grandfather . . ?

"The fuck are you talking about?" I exclaimed.

"Oh, did your father never mention me? How odd, after all if it weren't for him killing me he wouldn't be here. You probably wouldn't exist." He frowned. "My names Henry."

"Oh fuck fuck fuck-ity-fuck what have we gotten ourselves into Amara?" Landon said. "What do you want with us?"

"Weeeeeeeeeeeell, your souls sound pretty great." He shrugs.

"And why the fuck would we sell our souls to you?" I growled.

Henry's face darkened, he pulled on Vexton's chain and dropped Kelly's, who cowared behind him, her ears pressed against her head. Henry pulled out a knife and held it at my partner's throat. "Because if you don't sign it right here, right now, I'll kill bot of these brats on the spot."

Fear clutched my heart, making me frown, my ears flattening against my skull as I grabbed my broter's arm, terrified.

Landon went quiet as well, he looked at his girlfriend, who shook her head in fear.

"Don't do it Amara!" Vexton gasped, the angelic knife pressing against their throat, causing dark red blood to leak from the cut.

I looked at my brother, he looked at me, I saw the fear in his eyes.

"C-can we think about it?" I asked. Maybe we can tell our fathers, they'll help. They'll-

"No." Henry growled fiercely. "I'm not giving you the chance to go blab to your fathers about this. Either you sign now, or they die. What's it gonna be?"

Fuck. We should've gotten Dad.

"Where's a pen?" Landon said suddenly, and Henry grinned.

"Splendid! What about you dear? You gonna sign too?" He clapped his hands gleefully, turning to me.

Vexton shook her head rapidly. "No, no, no, Amara don't-ah!-not for me!-OW!" Henry pressed the knife a bit deeper into their throat.

I hung my head. I couldn't let them die . . . I just couldn't. "Where do we sign?"

Henry grinned even wider. "Wonderful!"

"Landon, please no-" Kelly started.

"It's okay Kells." Landon said, flashing her a weak smile as he was handed a pen. He signed his full name, Landon Gabriel Morningstar.

He passed the pen to me; I hesitated for a moment, my hands shaking, before I signed. Amara Kathryn Morningstar.

"Delightful! Now, we can't have you two running off and telling your daddies, that wouldn't be very nice, so, here's an order; you can't breathe a word of this to a single soul. Understood?" I felt something like the threads of a sewing needle prick through my lips, gasping at the pain until it stopped, sealing my mouth shut.

I looked at my brother, the same thing was happening to him.

"There!" Henry grinned. "Now you should be getting home, it's getting quite late. Pleasure doing business with you two! G'day!" He disappeared into the shadows, leaving me and my brother alone with our partners.

"Oh, what the actual fuck have we gotten ourselves into Amara?" Landon said, looking at me fearfully.

"Deep, deep shit Landon. Deep, deep ass shit." I replied.
