Hey it's Sammy Koker, I was 19 and I had just finished my secondary school, that's like the equivalent of highschool in my Country. My dad had died in a car accident when I was fourteen, leaving only me and my mom to fend for ourselves. We were still both doing relatively fine as my mom had this government job that paid her monthly, everything was fine until one fateful day when everything turned south.
It was my last day of secondary school and mom had promised to take me out with the little that she had, just to congratulate me. The whole day it was the only thing I thought of. My head was so clouded that everything happening around me seemed to be unreal. Even the questions on the final papers seemed to dance on the white sheet. I was happy that I'd soon be leaving this hell hole of a school for good. I was sitting close to the window when I noticed something in the sky, it seemed like the clouds were spiraling around the center. I watched as what seemed like Black lighting crashed down into the earth just close to our school. Everything else that happened seemed like total darkness, I really don't know what transpired after because I lost my consciousness but one thing I knew was that, there was total destruction.
I woke up in a pool of blood to see what seemed like a lady laying on top of the rubble our school had been transformed into right in front of me. I watched her stand up, I thought I had been hit pretty badly on the head when I saw that she had a tail and was stark naked with very pale skin and a pair of horns protruding out of her forehead.
She mumbled some unintelligible words to herself. I couldn't see anybody else apart from her. There was debris everywhere, blocks, steel, glasses.
"Is everybody dead?" I said out loud, I didn't know she heard.
"A human?" She echoed, turning back to face me as I looked at her from below and she looked from above.
"I thought humans were weak, why aren't you dead yet?"
As weak as I was and on how the situation was, You'd think that I was scared but no I wasn't. For some reason I thought, seeing a devil up close would bring chills down my spine but I wasn't the least afraid. The only thing I was feeling back then was pain. It seemed like a miracle that my body wasn't buried by the rubble and apart from me she was the only other person that seemed to be alive.
She would know what's going on. I said in my mind as I prepared to ask her.
"What happened here ?" I asked in an authoritative manner that actually showed the lack of fear I had.
"Oh!" She exclaimed in a kind of sheepish manner that I wouldn't have expected. "It's a normal thing for inter dimensional travels. Everytime a portal is opened between realms a certain amount of blood is needed to appease the lords of the universe and the powers that be for bending the laws of the universe to allow us move from realm to realm. And the sacrifice was the people in this school."
At that instant, I felt enraged that I didn't mind the pain in my body as I proceeded to move.
" Yy-ou mean, all my friends and classmates were sacrificed for you to come here?" I started with anger in my tone. I could see a bit of fear on the devil's body.
"Is she really a devil?" I thought.
"Please c-alm down." She advised, waving her hands nervously at me.
"Don't just tell me to calm down." I roared at her, already picking myself up and limping towards her.
"Come any closer and I'll take possession of your body." She threatened, still nervously waving her hands.
"Do your worst! You've already killed all my friends."
"Oh my god-! I think you have hearing disabilities. I didn't kill your friends. They were sacrificed."
"Bitch what's the difference?" I said, growing more annoyed of the horned fellow in front of me. He was just inches away before she mumbled some words and ran into him with both their heads clashing and bodies crashing to the floor with her naked body on top of him.
"What the hell are you doing? You're also perverted." I lashed out at the top of my voice. "Get off me."
"I'm sorry," She started as she stood up from my body. "I don't know how to do the possession spell yet. "
"I don't fucking care. " I thundered as I took hold of a stone at my hand's reach and threw it at her.
After dodging it she mumbled some more unintelligible words again and touched me on my head and I felt my soul living my body. Everything went blank for a while before I found myself In a strange dark place.
"Where am I?" I asked, only able to hear my voice and words rolling back at me in an echo.
"You're in my subconscious. Sorry." The devil's voice answered after a while.
"What do you mean by sorry?" I asked, feeling more frustrated than before.
"I tried doing the possession spell again but instead this time I did it in reverse and now your soul is sealed inside my subconscious.
It was really a bad day for me. First my school mates and friends were all used in some fucked up ritual, now I'm stuck in the body of some dumb she devil and would probably not see my mom again.
"Are all devils this dumb?" I questioned.
"No!" Her voice replied in a sad manner. "I'm just useless. I was sent here to Earth because In Hell realm where I'm from, I was a nuisance who never did anything well and was bad at being a devil and here I am, banished. I don't even know how to unseal you."
Something in me wanted to sympathize with her but then I replied coldly with a ; "I'll kill you."
"That's fun. Turns out I can't die. So from now you're my innerman."
