They got out of the car and Rose fell to the ground. She threw up one last time. She was done, until the next time she decided to take someones gift. She wiped at her mouth. Her brother helped her up as much as he could. "Okay" He said simply. They were ready.

The guard escorted all of them into the palace, "the Duke will be with you shortly." he said, before turning and going back to his post. Sanaras backed himself up against the wall behind him, his rank, which wasnt much of anything at the moment, meant he was to be seen and not heard, or simply out of the way completely until called upon.

Sam held his sisters hand tightly. He wasn't letting go, nor was he afraid. Well he was, he didn't want to show it. Rose looked around, it looked nice in here. But she felt like it was an illusion. Something to just look nice and pretend to be better then the alternative.

After a moment the Duke appeared,followed by four assistants. he was obviously quite powerful. Even though it wasnt an emotion, Sam could probably feel something about it, simply because it was something present in every part of his being,and therefore within an empaths capabilities to sense it. Sanaras's master bowed, "sir". The Duke nodded in acknowledgement, "what brings you here, Samael." He looks up,"the involvement of the living sir....and...a possible candidate..." he hesitated for a moment,"Sanaras, its your candidate..." Sanaras stepped out of the shadows,"the boy,sir....hes an empath....i request to see Martin..." he said. He kept his eyes averted, out of respect.

Rose looked at her brother. His eyes were full of fear, fear that he didn't want his face to show. Sam wouldn't be one of them. He couldn't. He had to look after Rose. No one would if he was gone. Rose squeezed her brothers hand. Even she could feel that he was powerful. It would be tempting to swap for a moment. She thought better of it quickly. "He won't" She said, she had no respect for this authority.

"not even for the chance to live without pain?" the Duke said, "hes better off with a contract then ending up here randomly when he dies" he continued. Sanaras watched everyone, and bit his lip. This would be his only chance probably in a long time to do something this big. He was nervous just because of that fact.

"He's only five years old! You can't ask him to make a decision like this at that age? what if he changes his mind" Rose exclamed. "There is no way to make sure he understands 100% of what the deal actually is" She said. She swapped powers with him. She knew the pain was so distracting, even at this age, it was hard to concentrate on simple things. He would resort to them later, holding onto his superhero collection for one. Rose looked the Duke in the eyes. "Why are you the Duke?" she asked

"thats a useful power isnt it." he said, grinning. "but i assure you, i am the Grand Duke of Hell because i earned it. and five year olds understand more then you think, if you let them. besides, you can read the contract if you want." he said, taking a glass from one of his assistants. "the average person ends up in hell, not in heaven. those who had the chance to get a contract but didnt usually end up regretting it later. besides, as an empath, he would climb the ranks quickly. especially if i make Martin his mentor."

She huffed slightly. "Have you ever been in his mind?" She asked "He feels everyones pain....five more minutes of being here will reduce him to tears" She said. Her brothers eyes were empty....then full of life. "I don't like it here" Sam said softly "it smells like the bathroom after daddy is in it" He said simply and started to walk around, looking for an exit of some kind.

"Martin is an empath, he can remove the pain.besides, i cant let you leave yet. the whole interference thing hasnt been resolved." the Duke said, sighing. He handed the glass back to the assistant. "im not saying he has to choose now, im just saying let him be informed before making up his mind for him."

"Ten years" Sam said He repeted it a few times. Rose nodded "From now?"She asked her brother who nodded. She turned towards the Duke "what about 'the whole interference thing'?" She asked. Rose crossed her arms infront of her.

"well, technically your not supposed to know about us until its your time,or unless theres some agreement." He said. "since there is a possibility, there also has to be some way for him to reach us if he does decide to join. Talking to Martin is a good idea, for that reason."

She nodded, "of course" She rolled her eyes. Which was exactly why everyone has seen this strange man roaming the other half of the city. It made perfect sence. Sam sat down on the ground and started to cry.

"Martin..." the Duke said. Martin steps out of the shadows. While he is definitely powerful, he is completely neutral and there is no emotion attached to him whatsoever. He walks over to where Sam is sitting and sits down next to him. "hello there," he said. Martin's presence was actually kind of soothing to him, because Martin's abilities included blocking other empath's abilities, so Sam for the first time probably was only feeling what was his.

Sam had to sit down. He felt nothing. He only knew fear. "Hi" He said. Rose crossed her arms and watched Martin. She didn't like the looks of him. Rose hugged herself. They needed to get home soon. Mother would worry. Sam looked at the man. "Are you going to kill me?" he asked. Sam didn't want to die, he didn't want to be here.
