The devil and me.

The devil's story part two

'God offered me a deal. He would create heaven and hell. There would be an after life for all the souls. The condition I would become the devil. Stay in Hell and never be admitted to heaven again. Never see the light again. I accepted, I could do nothing but accept' , said the devil.

'God laughed as he tore my wings from my body and hurled me down to hell himself. The deal was struck. I hate hearing how the devil tricks and cheats. I need no trickery. Did God care, when those souls cried out? No I did. people cannot abide the thought of a devil who cares. It's alien to them. But I do about each and every soul',he smiles thinly.

'I would like to show you my true form, how I looked before I was cast down',he said. 'So this is not what you truly look like',she said in awe. 'No, I was an angel remember, I didn't look like this', he said.

She nodded curious to see. When he turned around, his golden hair reached his shoulders. He had a young face and a man's firm body. She longed to run her hands over him. He looked like something from a dream. Even his voice took on a more melodical sound.

'Why do you not take on this form all the time?',she asked. He is silent awhile, then says ' It reminds me of all I have lost, it hurts me to see this form'.
