an addition by: AridWD   More by this author
Baren laid awake on his bed, reminiscing the many misfortunes he had to deal with over the years. His mother, Liya, died of Cancer which was simply the most tragic thing to him that could happen. It was tragic to his father, Greg as well; however, he dealt with it by drinking which he had never done before she died and slept with many women to cope with the loneliness. It sickened Baren to see his father change to the worse instead of coping with the loss maturely. Baren wouldn't have mind having a step-mother but his father doesn't want to even talk about it knowing that he had slept with many women and it wouldn't work out like it used to.
His girlfriend, Jamie, left him not due to any relationship issues but simple fact that they were going to different colleges and neither of them could deny that they were indefinitely going to meet new people. It saddened Baren though to have to end the relationship when it was going along well. He wasn't sure if he was able to meet someone like her again.
He heard the house's front door slam open and random stepping-sounds coming in. It was obvious that Baren's father came in drunk once again but something was odd as he head some unfamiliar steps coming in.
"Huhu, you're quite the man Mr. Gregory," Baren heard coming from a female voice. This would be the first time his dad brought a whore into the house.
"Great," Baren murmered as he rolled his eyes and started to close them.
"You're a great woman er...Liya...ugh" Greg complimented but then passed out.
Baren opened his eyes and quickly got to his feet. Normally, he wouldn't care if he had been drunk or passed out but there was a stranger in the house that he couldn't give the oppurtunity to rummage property away. He opened his room door but the lady was there, almost as if expecting him.
"Ah!" Baren gasped, surprised at the appearance, "Get out of my house you slut! You had my dad but you're not getting anything from this house!"
The lady chuckled. Baren took notice of her features which were very...big and pretty much free. Looking at her overall appearance, she was pretty sharp-looking, red-haired woman probably around in her 30s.
"That's no way of greeting a demonness, Baren," she countered.
Baren fell confused. "What the hell? I'm guessing my father mentioned me which is surprising, anyways, I'm asking you to leave before I call the cops!"
The lady smirked. "Oh but Baren, I have an offer to make for you. I met your dad in the bar and he told me of his and your little issue. You miss your mommy is that it?"
Baren turned red and clenched his hands into a fist. Something was a little strange about this woman other than the fact she pissed Baren off, she didn't seem drunk even though she was acting strange.
"That's it, I'm calling the cops," Baren yelled and went to reach his phone; however, suddenly a sharp pain overtook his knees. He tried to yell out but it felt like his voice-box was taken away. He turned, painfully toward the lady who was standing in the same place with her arms crossed.
"I can't let you do that Baren, first, hear my offer out because I feel a little generous after hearing about your problems," she explained.
Baren's eyes widened. The pain he was feeling was unbearable even though she was at least a meter away with no gun, no knife, nothing.
No way, shit, she really is a demoness! If not, I'm dreaming!
The believable demoness smiled victoriously, "I'm glad you've come to realization. Will you listen to a thousand year old woman who is giving an offer to change your life?"
Baren were in unbelievable pain to talk, but he nodded his head, slowly. The pain he felt disappeared immediately and he felt completely mobile again. Baren knew that he could call the police but there would be no point in it considering that the woman was really a demoness and probably wasn't such a good idea.
"Good boy, now then; I am offering you a chance to take anyone you desire to be your mother. You will be able to adjust that mother to your liking," she offered.
Baren was in disbelief to what he was hearing. "There has to be some sort of catch, right?"
The demoness smiled. "Well...there is...everyone you know will be cut away from you. You'll be completely alone, a nobody. Your friends won't remember you, your father won't, and certainly your girlfriend won't either."
Baren thought for a moment. That was an extreme sacrifice; however, mostly everyone you knew was going away to other colleges, most of which were out of state.
"What about my father, how is this going to help him?"
The demoness chuckled. "Oh your father? He's hopeless but his story was moving. Besides, you won't be seeing him anytime soon."
Baren knew what that meant and he clenched his teeth. "No...even though he's always drunk and sleeping with others, he's still my father!"
The demoness rolled his eyes. "It's not my decision kid. I'm personally offering you this opportunity. Now, tell me your answer. It's a fucking 'yes' or 'no'"
Baren went silent for a minute and then stared into the demoness's eyes. "Is there anyway you could bring my original mother back?"
The demoness pinched the bridge of her nose, apparently getting annoyed and impatient. "No! I can't bring back the dead okay?!"
Baren nodded. "I see, I had to be sure. I will agree to your offer."
The demoness smiled and got close to Baren and suavely rubbed his arm. Suddenly Baren felt weirdly horny having this demoness around him so close but his animalistic urge was cut off as a burning pain struck the arm the demoness was touching.
"Ah! What the hell!?!"
The demoness took a step back and grinned. "Enjoy the new life...oh by the way, since you'll be alone, at least temporarily until you find someone, you never went to high school and you probably know what that means..."
Baren eyes widened and he started running with his fists ready. "You bitch!"
Baren could do nothing though as the demoness disappeared and everything got dark for Baren. His whole world felt like it was shifting or at least his head.
