CHAPTER 15: STATE THE OBVIOUS
“Why are you spacing out?” The demon appeared beside him and casually took his workbook. Damien shook his head, “I guess this is enough torture for human beings.”
Chris sighed and tried to get his English workbook back, “Why? Does our contract remove my liberty to space out too?” He retaliated and continued doing his homework after he succeeded in taking his book back. He is trying to finish everything so he could be free for the rest of the day.
Chris merely just got home from school an hour ago since the class decided to allot few hours after classes to finish their preparation for the school event. It's tiring for Chris but it's taking his mind off the grief, even just for a moment.
“I’m bored, isn’t there any amusing thing that would happen today?” The demon said and plopped on Chris’ bed.

And I don’t need to report everything to you. Stop hiding, he already knows that you’re here ages ago

You shouldn't worry about him, he's with Damien.”“That is the reason why I'm more worried. He's with a demon, like you.” Linus laughed.“We actually follow the rules in our contract, contrary to what humans portray us" Joaqin 'tch-ed', “that's because the rules are never on the human's side.”The demon laughed again, “Bingo.

Succumbing into Darkness CHAPTER 20: PUNISHMENT
Chris had to adjust his eyes because of the blinding light. He blinked fast for a few seconds before his eyes could fully adjust. He roamed his eyes at the place, all he could see are trees and other plants. The place is beautiful that it took him a moment to realize that he didn’t know where he was. He started walking around, he realized that he’s barefooted but he didn’t mind. The grass beneath is soft and a bit ticklish to his feet. He heard the sound of birds chirping. It made Chris smile, he rarely hears bird chirping because he lives in the city ever since he was young. He tried finding the source of the sound and saw the two birds happily chirping by the branch. Chris watched the birds without disturbing them but to his surprise, the birds flew towards him. The birds circled him before they flew away from him. He continued walking around the place.
