This is basically just the begining of Haures' story. The writing style I used may seem odd, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
--Chapter One--
Cloaked figure: It seems we're almost ready for your part of the ceremony.
Young man: (Glances around uncertainly) So this will give me power huh?
Cloaked figure: (Watches the preparations) Hmmm? Oh, yes your body will be invested with great power.
2nd Cloaked figure: The preparations are complete. We may begin with the next step.
Cloaked Figure: Ah excellent timing. Our friend here was getting impatient.
(The Cloaked figure leads the Young man to the alter)
Cloaked figure: Just lay down here and we can begin.
Young man: (nervously) Uh, lay down? Uh, yea sure let's get this over with.
(Various figures approach the alter bringing with them the sound of chanting)
Nos dico super vos Optimates. Beatus nos per vestri atrum lux lucis.
(The Cloaked figure begins fastening straps around the Young man's limbs)
Young man: Hey! Is that really necessary.
Cloaked figure: ...
Young man: Hey I'm talking to you!
(The Cloaked figure raises a dagger above the Young man's heart)
Young man: (hysterical) What the hell are you doing man!
Cloaked figure: Exactly.
(The Cloaked figure plunges the dagger into the Young man's heart)
First fear then pain and finally darkness. These were the last three things I experienced in life. I know I went away but I'm not really sure where. But now I feel a presence surrounding me. It feels evil and hungry. What's that!? Light! Sound! Life!
[Young man: What is this?]
Demon: Why have you summoned me mortal?
Cloaked figure: We require your services.
[Young man: Hey that's the guy that killed me.]
Demon: ...
Cloaked figure: In exchange for these services we guarantee a steady supply of....food.
Demon: If you can provide more like this one then I will agree. At least so long as you do not bore me.
Cloaked figure: I see. Very well. We agree to these terms. (Turns slightly) Bring her!
(Another figure approaches dragging a woman behind him)
Demon: Ahhh a pretty one.
[Young man: Wow she is pretty. Wait, what the hell am I saying!?]
(The woman begins to struggle as the Demon approaches)
Woman: (sobbing) Please no. Don't hurt me. Oh, please someone help me.
Demon: That's right my pretty struggle all you want. Your fear only makes your soul all the sweeter.
[Young man: I've got to help her, but how I'm trapped inside this Demon.]
(The Demon picks the woman off the ground and begins to drain her)
Woman: ..ple...no.do..t.hu.t.me..
[Young man: Inside. That's it! I'm inside the Demon! Then that means...]
(Suddenly the Demon drops the woman and begins writhing about)
Demon: What are you doing mortal!?
Cloaked figure: (Looking terrified) I've done nothing Great One. Please tell me what is wrong.
Demon: Not you fool! The one whos shell I inhabit.
[Young man: Can you hear me Demon?]
{Demon: I can mortal and know that if you do not stop this I will...}
[Young man: You'll what? Kill me? I'm already dead and damned Demon.]
(The pair struggle internally. Bit by bit the Demon regains control)
{Demon: You're losing mortal. Bwahaha!}
[Young man: No. No! No!! NO!!! I WILL NOT LET YOU WIN DEMON!!!!]
(Suddenly a power unlike anything the Demon had ever seen sweeps him into oblivion)
(Meanwhile the body the demon had inhabited glows softly with demon fire that slowly winks out of existence)
Cloaked figure: (hysterically) The Demon is gone! That's not possible!
(The Cloaked figure runs out in terror leaving the two bodies lying on the ground)
(The Young man slowly wakens to a presence hovering over him)
Woman: Are you all right?
Young man: Aside from having had a Demon inside me yea I think I'm all right.
Woman: I'm glad you're all right. I'm not sure what you did but you saved me. Thank You.
Young man: I don't really know what happened except that it seems the Demon is gone and were both alive.
Woman: We should get out of here before the others return.
Young man. Yea you're right.
(As the two head for the exit the young man notices an intense itch focusing on his chest)
(As he scratches he feels some sort of depression in his skin and pulls his shirt out to look)
[Young man: A symbol? Where the hell did this come from?] {Demon: Exactly.}
Young man: Did you say something?
Woman: I was just saying we should get you to the hospital.
Young man: (distractedly) Hospital yea that sounds good.
