contract with the demon prince

Ana had already decided that she wanted to go to college after finishing high school, so she started researching several colleges.After several searches, she found one, but it was far away from where she lived. Ana had no idea what she was feeling, but she wanted to go there...Ana talked to her parents, and they reached an agreement: Ana would travel to the UK, and her best friend Sandra would accompany her; it would be the best trip ever...

I am looking out my bedroom window, a little anxious and nervous, because I am leaving for a completely different place, and I am leaving my comfort zone...This would be a great adventure for me, and now is a good time to start trying new things.

I am leaving my room, carrying my belongings, and going to the living room.

一All right, I'm already prepared. Ana said as she put her bags on the floor.

Take care, and study hard ...And we'll send you many messages. Marcia said with a gentle smile.

You don't have to study for so long ; we have excellent universities here ; you don't have to go ...

Dad, we've talked about this, I'm old enough, and another thing is that getting to know new places is good and you know it... I'll be fine, Sandra's going with me, you don't have to worry so much, it'll be fine.

一 I know, but you will still be my little one, it doesn't matter how old you are, I just don't want you to stay away from me.

一 Dad I'll be back, and by the time you blink I'll be annoying you.

Ana hears a horn honking and goes to the window, it was Sandra who was waiting for her, Ana says goodbye to her parents and gets out, she gets in the car and greets Sandra.

一 Are you ready for our adventure?

一 Yes, although I have butterflies in my stomach. said Ana putting her hand on her stomach.

一 Normal of all trips... I guarantee you will like it a lot, Belfast has a lot of nice things.

一 I've done a lot of research, I want to be in the know.

一 It will be our adventure together, for me this is the best.

For an instant Ana felt a fear that took her body as if it was an alert, as it was her first trip she simply didn't care...

When they arrived at the airport they went to a cookie store.

一 I remember the time I used to bake cookies with my grandmother, good times, even more the magician I met, he was so different...Why can't I forget him? said Ana.

My life was starting with a different routine and different customs, a life that you decide for yourself without rules or orders.

Belfast - United Kingdom

I moved to this city together with my friend Sandra, we came for studies, this city is the cheapest we could find, we were very anxious to start studying at Queen's University, it was a totally different place, a new life.

I can't wait to start my studies, I want to feel the stress in my veins, meet new people and what about a passion? It wouldn't be bad, don't you think?

一 Sandra, we haven't even arrived yet and you are already thinking about men? But I really can't wait to get started either. Said Ana carrying a box with her things and going to her room.

一 There's nothing wrong with thinking a little about men, look at this view, this is magnificent, it deserves a picture to remember me by when I leave.

一 It really is beautiful, it's not every day that we get to see such a wonder, said Ana approaching Sandra who took some pictures.

一 Let's finish packing everything, I want to rest a lot, travel is good but it's very tiring, I could hire someone to pack for me.

一 I'm almost done, there's just one more box to go. Ana points to the last box next to the door.

一 This is exhausting, since we've been here we haven't stopped for a minute, well I'm going to take a shower.

一 Okay, I'll finish packing my things.

I take the last box and take it to my room,I open the box and start taking things out and see a black book with strong red letters,I take the book and sit on my bed.

一 I have never seen this book in my life,I wonder if someone left it on top of the box?

I hear the doorbell and go to the door, put the book on the couch and open the door.

一 Here's the pizza.

一 But I didn't order it...

The delivery man delivers the pizza and looks at Ana and gives a smile.

一 It's a gift,whenever we have new neighbors we do that.

Thank you... I think...

Her eyes are a piercing blue,her smile strong,Ana looks at the pizza box as soon as she lifts her head it was gone,she looks around,and walks in.

一 You ordered pizza? I can't believe it, said Sandra.

一 I didn't order anything, did they deliver it wrong? We have to return it.

一 No way, who misses a pizza? Let's enjoy... Sandra opens the box and takes a slice and starts to eat. 一 That's delicious, you should eat it too, it's not every day we get pizza, this should happen more often.

一 I'll eat it in a bit.

Ana puts the pizza box on the coffee table and takes the book and goes to her room, locks the door and sits on the bed.

Let's see what this book is.

I started to take a good look at the book, every possible detail,there was a small black leather ribbon with a knot, I undo it and open the book, the book had a very old look.

There was a very different writing, almost impossible to read.

Sandra starts knocking on my door and I put the book on my bookshelf on the side of my bed.

I open the door and she was holding the TV remote in her hands and another piece of pizza.

一 Come eat now, I'm going to eat it all.

一 Okay, let's eat...

Ana closes the bedroom door and goes to the living room, sits on the couch and gets a piece of pizza.

一 What do you want to watch? said Sandra.

一 Anything I don't care,in fact I'm going to eat and take a shower,and sleep I'm tired.

一 I understand you...

Tell me something, in your boxes did you find anything out of the ordinary? Ana takes a bite of her pizza.

一 Hmm, no, why?

Just checking, no big deal.

An hour later, I go back to my room with the towel wrapped around my body, put on my pajamas and fix my hair.

***

一 Bring the book to me, or rather destroy the book, if the book is not destroyed it will be an endless cycle.

一 I will do my job, don't worry, the book will be destroyed, I will let you in on everything, said Gabriel.

一 One more thing, no matter how the book chooses a person remember that they have nothing to do with it, we only want the book, don't hurt anyone, do you hear me?

一 Sure, I will do as you wish, just destroy the book. Gabriel smiles.
