Sam’s POV
When I wake up the next morning Alex is wrapped around me, snoring loudly. I sigh and pat his head before carefully crawling out of his grip.
I get off the bed and stretch before walking into the kitchen where William and Ryan are leaning over a book.
“Uh, morning?” I try and get a bowl.
“Hey” both say in unison and I frown.
“What’s going on?” I ask and pour me some cereal.
“Nothing” Ryan says and I sigh, sitting down across from them.
I start eating, still watching them with narrowed eyes.
“Something’s going on.” I say with my mouth full and they finally look up at me.
“Tell him, Ry.” Will sighs and looks down again.
“Tell me what?”
Ryan bites his lip and sits up straight.
“The doctor wanted me to sign some papers … so they would turn the machines off.” He says quickly.
I freeze and stare at him.
“Don’t worry. That’s not gonna happen.” He adds and bites his lip.
I nod and frown.
“But what do you want to do?”
He smiles sadly and leans forward.
“You remember what we talked about some time ago?”
I blink at him before I know what he’s talking about.
“Please don’t tell me you want to make a deal with the devil.” I plead and William looks up.
“With a demon.” He corrects and I glare at him.
“You can’t be serious.”
“It’s not like I have another chance.” Ryan whispers.
I open my mouth to protest but I don’t know what to say.
“Ugh, morning” I hear a voice and turn to look at Alex who’s holding his head.
“Hangover?” Will asks and Alex glares at him.
“Alex, Ryan wants to sell his soul.” I say and look up at him.
He blinks at me and sits down next to me without a word.
“Well, if there’s no other way.”
I raise my eyebrows.
“What?!”
“Sam, think about it. Do you want Brendon to die?”
“I- ” I look away. “No”
“Then try to understand.”
“I do understand but there has to be another way.”
William shakes his head and Ryan crosses his arms in front of his chest.
“We’re doing it this evening.” Ryan says and gets up.
“Dad…” I look up at him pleadingly.
William pokes Ryan’s side and points to something on the page.
I watch them for a moment before getting up and rushing out of the room. I run into my room and slam the door shut. Only seconds later Alex opens the door and looks in carefully.
“Sam” he says and walks in, sitting on the bed beside me. “I know you’re just scared but Ryan decided and you have to accept it.”
I nod and remain silent.
We sit there for a while before Alex hugs me and kisses my forehead.
“Everything’s going to be okay.”

Alex and I don’t come out of my room the whole day until William walks in just before sundown. “Hey boys, we’re going to leave now.” He says and Alex looks at me.
I shrug and get up.
“Listen Sam, this isn’t as bad as it sounds. Just trust us, okay?”
I glare at Will and rush past him. In the hall Ryan is putting a jacket on and I ignore him, leaning against the wall.
“Sam…” he starts but I shake my head.
He sighs and nods at William when the other two join us. We leave and I don’t talk the whole ride to the hospital where I get out quickly and wait as Will gets his stuff out of the car.
“Remember what I told you?” he asks Ryan who just nods and walks in, the three of us following.
We walk past the reception quickly and to Brendon’s room. Ryan looks inside and opens the door for us when no one’s inside.
“Alright” Will says and gets a piece of chalk out.
I frown and watch him draw something on the ground.
“That’s a pentagram.” Alex says and I look at him. “What? I grew up with shit like that.”
Out of the corner of my eyes I see Ryan walk over to Brendon and kiss his cheek before he joins Will.
“And you’re absolutely sure about this?” I ask and he just smirks. “Fine then”
Alex sighs and grabs my arm to pull me over to the small table. I lean against it and watch with crossed arms.
Ryan looks back at Brendon before standing in front of the pentagram. Will hands him a piece of paper and shows him two thumbs up.
“I can do this.” Ryan mumbles before reading the words. Seems to be Latin or something like that.
After that he closes his eyes and pulls a knife out.
“Those shitty rituals never work without blood.” Alex sighs and shakes his head.
I ignore him and watch as Ryan holds the knife to his scarred wrist. Seconds later blood drips down and he holds his arm over the sign on the floor so it drips right in the middle of it.
He closes his eyes and waits. I look around and raise an eyebrow at Will who just shrugs.
Just when I’m about to laugh there’s a shrill sound and I cover my ears with my hands.
“What the fuck?!” Alex yells and shuts his eyes tightly.
I watch with wide eyes as a figure appears in the pentagram. It looks kind of like a human but completely different. Its eyes are completely black and the skin is white. I frown because I can’t really tell if it’s male of female either.
It starts to grin and reveals a pair of razor sharp teeth. I notice Ryan shaking and taking a deep breath before he talks.
“I want to make a deal.” He says and the demon smirks at him and grabs his arm, showing his large hand equipped with claws.
I watch with fascination as the cut heals quickly and the thing steps back again.
“What can I do for you, boy?” it asks and I flinch at the voice.
Ryan turns briefly and looks at Brendon.
“I want you to heal him and to wake him up.” He says firmly and the demon nods before smirking again.
“And what do I get? Huh?”
For a second I think I see the ghost of a smile on Ryan’s face before it’s emotionless again.
“You get my soul. But you go first.”
The thing nods and closes its eyes.
I frown for a moment but after a while the room starts to light up. A groan escapes me and I close my eyes at the light.
Alex grabs my hand and squeezes it until it’s over. I wait a bit more than necessary before I open my eyes and observe the scene. Nothing changed and I frown.
“Will, did it work?” Ryan asks without looking away and Will closes his eyes for a moment before nodding. “Good”
The demon blinks its eyes open and shows a too wide smile.
“Now, I believe you owe me a soul, pretty boy.”
Ryan nods and the thing grabs his arm again. Its eyes get white for a second before the light fades again.
“What the fuck?!” it cries and grips Ryan’s arm tighter. “What are you doing? Give me your fucking soul now!”
Ryan chuckles and shrugs.
“I’m sorry but I think I can’t decide that.” He says sweetly.
“There’s nothing there! What did you do?”
“There is something there but you’re not interested in dead souls.”
“You fucking- ”
Ryan cries out as the thing bores its claws in his arm.
“Would you mind letting him go?” a voice chimes in and I freeze, my eyes wandering to the bed.
I didn’t even notice Brendon get up. He’s standing beside the bed, not looking sick at all.
At that the demon looks up and laughs. It’s loud and shrill.
“Will, now!” Ryan yells and William throws something at the demon.
It breaks and it lets go of Ryan with a cry before going up in flames and disappearing.
After that it’s too quiet in the room before Brendon sighs.
“Ryan, what the fuck?”
Ryan whirls around and throws himself at Brendon, covering his face in kisses.
“You fucking stupid moron! I swear I won’t ever leave you alone again!”
Brendon chuckles and wraps his arms around him.
I stand there for another second before I run over to them to join the hug.
“Fuck, I missed you.” I mumble and Ryan nods.
We draw back after a while of cuddling and beam at each other.
“So do you know what happened?” Ryan asks and Brendon nods.
“I heard you guys talk. Ry, you annoyed me every day.” He laughs and Ryan punches his shoulder lightly. “And I don’t even want to start with this stupid idea. Ry, making a deal with a demon?”
“Hey, I researched and made sure this would work.” Will calls and Bren waves at him.
“Hello to you too. And hey, Alex. Can we go home now? I crave real food.”
Ryan laughs and hugs him again and I roll my eyes.
“I guess then everything is normal again?” I ask and he nods.
“Hell yes”
