When Jon woke up, he had the worst headache ever. Why was he in so much pain? His arms, his chest, his face ... everything ached.
Then he remembered. It was the Devil. He did this to him, to force him to use the stone. Jon started to wonder why he even agreed to the bet in the first place. Of course the Devil was going to make it difficult for him and maybe even cheat in the process. He was the Devil.
"Jon? Are you okay?"
At first, he thought it was Karyn. But the voice was all wrong. He widened his eyes a little more, noticing that he was in a darkened room. He saw a boy and a girl sitting across from him. They were dressed in black.
"Where ..." Jon started to say, but shut up instantly, once he felt the pain from his multiple piercings shoot through his body.
Then his sister Zoe came into view. "Don't worry, Jon. You're in good hands."
Suddenly, Jon wasn't so sure, as he and his sister never really saw eye to eye on most things. But it was better this than another round with the Devil.
