Thread: My Soul to Take

It had been years since he made the deal. Foolish mortal woman. He was weak, he needed sustenance, demons could only live for so long on mortal soil without proper sustenance, which often came in the form of sex. It was the best feeling to have the pure feeling of euphoria rush through one's body, demons thrived off of it. They appealed to their worst sides, and often demons were consumed by their own lust for living on the mortal world where they depended on such a 'sinful' way to stay alive. But Vetis was different the demon of corruption, he was well known for his ways amongst the mortals. Often times he only traveled to the mortal world for 'fun', he never stayed long, but once his stay was prolonged a bit too long, often cherubs would serve as a decent 'meal' for him, but there was nothing like watching a mortal crumble between his fingertips. That's when Alaister's mother came into the picture. She was such a foolish woman, she foolishly gave up her only child before he was even born. A couple months pregnant, with the promise of endless wealth, she wagered her only child, only to get cold feet as soon as the bundle of joy was brought into the world. Such were mortals, they only gave away things they didn't have yet. And as soon as they had them, they no longer wished to relinquish them. So she ran. Correction. He let her run. He let her run for thirteen years. Vetis kept a very careful eye on his prize, he watched him grow and develop into a decent young male specimen. He had no time to care for an infant anyhow- why not allow the mother to be a mother? That's what she wanted wasn't it? A rich life, and a child. She had both at least for now. This was the thirteenth year such a lucky number wasn't it? And Vetis returned to Earth, but not in any form that would be obvious. No, instead he took a mortal form. A butler he would grow close to the child, there was nothing fun about dragging off a screaming child to Hell even to the demon, it didn't seem very nice. But it's not as if demons were known for playing nice. As a human Vetis was tall, as he was a demon, his hair being the only thing that changed dramatically. As a demon Vetis had dark midnight hair, it was a joke amongst demons that the darker your hair the darker your soul, and if this jest was true, then surely Vetis would be the darkest among all of them. But as a human, Vetis' hair was a bleached blonde, his hair almost appearing snow white in some aspects of light. His eyes were still a steely grey, that darkened as a mortal, anything lighter he would've surely appeared already dead. He worked diligently as a butler, and during the first week of moving in with the family he had spotted the boy. He had perhaps spoken once with the male, but even Vetis had to practice using his new name, as a mortal, he was Vex, demon, Vetis it seemed easy enough. When the boy tugged upon the back of his suit, Vetis turned quickly and gave a very graceful bow to the boy's level, Yes I work here. His voice was smooth while he retained no physical quality of being a demon he was devilish smooth talker. I would be glad to run you a bath Young Master. Escorting the male to the upstairs bathroom where it was quieter, and less populated, Vetis eyed the large marble chamber, and approached the bathtub. Feel free to begin disrobing, and I will run your bath water. He murmured softly his gloved hands working nimbly at the knobs near the faucet. Do you enjoy your new home? He questioned. lol. Your title is fine.
