SOLD TO DEVIL😈

HISTORY 🤭

As soon as she set her eyes on the figure, a shrill scream escaped her mouth. With a pesky smile, he walked closer to her.

It started with a dare, it was suppose to remain a dare but what seemed like a joke, changed my life drastically over three days.

Three Day Earlier:

**

* ”Wilson, are you ready for the excursion next week?!” My History teacher yelled at me.

Engrossed with my painting, I looked up at him and let out a ”Huh?”A peal of laughter escaped the mouth of my class mates, it doesn't freak me, it really not their first time doing it.

The history teacher, Mr. Bradford, rolled his eyes at me and continued to talk. I listened this time.

”In Ghoid town, there are two popular gods, Lican and Rican. According to history, Rican is the youngest and he is the most hated god while Lican, who is the eldest is the most loved god.” He paused and looked around for any questions.

I docked my head to my sketching, looking at it, I couldn't fathom what I was painting, it seemed like someone or something was inspiring me but I can't just see it.Since I just started the painting, it is beginning with a sky and then a floor filled with roses, I can't fathom what would be in the middle yet, whether a human or animal or just things.

”Why is Rican hated?” The question from the back pulled me out of my thoughts, I looked up at the history teacher as he prepared to answer the question.

”According to history, (When the gods were still allowed to roam around the human world), god Rican was possessive, dominant, an ugly. He was too possessive especially over his woman, he rarely finds love. However, he found a human woman to be very attractive and was so possessive of her. Regardless of the true love he showed this woman, she had feelings for his brother, Lican instead. Rican got so angry andus that he destroyed the entire town.” The history teacher explained.

”god Rican is very wicked. The woman must have rejected him because he was very ugly” Another student chipped in with a whizz.

I didn't care about history, to me, these stories are fake and not true at all. They just have gotten them from one of those novels, I thought.

”Furthering, god Rican can only be let out if he finds another human woman attractive. That's why everyone hates him, no one wants to have the ugly god stalking them” the History teacher finalized.

After the history teacher left, I placed my books in my bag and walked out of the class hurriedlyavoiding Freddie Benson.

Freddie Benson is my nemesis, the bullies me at any chance he gets. I can't risk that today of all days.

Luckily, I got to my dorm without being seen, I removed my glasses and started at my ugly self in the mirror...

I've always been the center of a bully because of my nerdy look, no one likes me and I have no friends, well except my roommate who is rarely home.

** Excursion day came like every other day, the bus halt at the excursion site - Ghoid town. We were welcomed by the high chief and hissubordinate.

They love us, especially because we are students. I, as usual, made sure to avoid Freddie as much as possible.

Our history teacher made way to the golden house, which contained the statue of god Lican and god Rican.

Approaching the golden house, I felt a force pulling me, it was like I'm meant to be at that place before and now that I'm there, they can't wait to have me.

As soon As we entered the golden house, a disgusting smell pervaded our nostrils. Everyone began to sneer and spit.

”god Rican stinks!” Mandy Grey announcedremoving our eyes from the silver-looking god Lican. Our eyes landed on the other statue just right beside Lican.

It felt like my eyes were going to bulge out because Rican looked like a pile of garbage only that this garbage stinks and looks horrible.

I maintained my distance, I didn't want to get stained by the horrible god. I was still thinking about this when Freddie Benson let out a burst of mockery laughter from my side.

”You look like a twit, Wilson!” He yelled.

I rolled my eyes at him and watched the history teacher talk more about Lican completely abandoning god Rican.

”Did you see how ugly god Rican is? He looksjust like you” He added.

I completely disagree with his utterance because god Rican can't be seen, he is covered in dirt and bird poop which makes it difficult to see him.

Seeing that I had completely ignored him, he came closer to me and whispered in my ear.

”Let's make a deal Wilson”

I turned to him and urged him to continue. He let out a mockery laughter and continued.

”Clean up god Rican and I'll stop bullying you” He let out.

I looked at his crispy eyes down to his thin lips. I've to be sure he is being serious, if I can cleangod Rican then Freddie will stop bullying me?!

”You promise?!” I raised my brows.

He nodded his head, laughter lingered around his thin lips. I find it hard to believe him but if I can do this, then we are ace.

”Okay, I'll do it” I blurted without thinking.
