Rebirth

Damon can still hear the loud ringing in his ears, the feeling of his bones shattering and his skull crushing, he had a feeling he was going to die and he's already given up on any attempts to escape...

Damon suddenly felt an infernal glow inside of him, he felt his bones reshaping, his body bending and morphing in something...unnatural. Damon couldn't help but croak as his lungs were forced to reposition itself, and he suddenly found himself falling from the sky.

Damon screamed loudly, eventually landing on a fence, his body piercing right through its pointed edges. Damon felt his body being impaled, but despite all the pain he felt, he no longer felt the same drifting feeling as he did before, he was totally awake.

Damon looked up and saw a large Manor ahead of him, it seems like he landed on the gates of the estate, he suddenly panicked when he saw a tall looming figure open the door and step out, desperately trying to get out of this predicament, he began to slowly pull himself through the jagged fence in an attempt to escape.

"Now Now, Why don't you calm your horses" the tall figure asked, he was almost as tall as the gates, and he...HE DOESN'T HAVE A FACE!!!

Damon screamed and began kicking and flailing his arms around, "Wait!! I didn't mean to land here!! I'm- WHERE AM I-" "I asked you kindly...to hold your goddamn horses" the faceless man grumbled, making a tight fist, upon closer inspection, the man had a line across the bottom of his face, sewn shut with needles. "You're actually lucky to have landed here...this manor here...it's actually an orphanage, for young souls like you who have met an untimely end" the faceless man stated.

"What the fuck, so is this Purgatory?!" Damon asked, the man bursted into laughter, clenching his stomach, "Oh Ho Ho!!! NoNoNo, You are a lowly sinner who probably did some sick shit during your lifetime, which is why you landed in HERE, HELL!!! A place filled with serial killers, corporate lawyers and the worst people to have ever existed!!!" The Faceless Man explained, "Here, let me help you out there" he stated, his skinny and boney arms suddenly grew in length, the arms moved unnaturally as they lifted Damon by the head and yanked him off the fence, tossing him on the ground. "Follow me...if you don't wish to die" The Faceless Man stated. "I thought this was Hell, how would you die in Hell?!" Damon asked, "You can't...well, you technically can't... Sinners like you will experience a "Rebirth" upon being killed in Hell, which is basically just respawning in the same place that you originally fell from...meaning if you were to be killed, you'll find yourself landing on that fence again" the faceless man cackled, "As for Imps and other Hellborn...I'm not too sure" The Faceless Man shrugged as he opened the door to the Manor, at the entrance of the house, there was a large sort of ballroom, there was a chandelier with bodies hanging off of it, and decapitated heads were used as jack-o-lantern. "...It may not seem very welcoming at first, but you better get used to it if you wanna live in Hell" The Faceless Man stated, "Anyway...The Mistress would like to see you, go upstairs and enter the room with the Black Door...and I suggest you avoid making eye contact" The man suggested before he stomped away...

Damon reluctantly walked up a flight of creaking stairs, he looked up at a large painting of a woman who's face was concealed by a cloth, she was standing with a family of humanoid-Owls. Damon eventually reached the room with the Black Door, and he knocked, after a moment of silence he reluctantly opened the door to find a pale woman with long prickly nails and razor sharp fangs. "...Hmmm...turn around" the woman ordered Damon, he complied, turning around and keeping his head down, there were hundreds of mirrors around the room. "I see Fenrir told you about my eyes...do you know what happens to those that peer upon my eyes?" The Mistress asked, before Damon can answer, the Mistress reached out and wrapped her prickly fingers around his cheekbones, "Well...of you really wanna know, then why don't you have a look?" She asked him, Damon shivered and kept his eyes shut. "...C'mon...don't you wanna see?!" The Mistress slithered, pulling Damon towards her, Damon could hear familiar voices urging him to open his eyes and look, "...AHHHH STOP!!" Damon immediately pulled back, "Stop whatever that was!!! Eugh!!!" Damon yelled, panting heavily. "...Well, you managed to resist... Anyway, you're welcome to stay at my Manor, we welcome lost souls like you" the Mistress giggled, Damon could hear the sound of excited slithers behind him. "You'll be staying in the Green Room...with another one of our recent newcomers" The Mistress stated, "Begone!!!"

Damon rushed out and immediately began mumbling to himself, "What the fuck was that? How the hell did she do that? Can I also do that?!" He muttered to himself, he stopped in front of a room with a green door and he hesitantly placed his hand on the doorknob, slowly turning it and opening the door to find a grotesque scene of two demons doing it in bed.

"OH GOD-" "AGH!!! Knock next time!!!" The Male demon screamed, "Go Sheila, I'll see ya later!!" He yelled, shoving the female Succubus out the door. "So...you must be that new roommate I've been hearing about!!" The man exclaimed in a raspy voice, he wore a spiffy leather jacket and he sported greasey hair, his skin seemed mutilated and burnt. "You're lucky you have found this place, here you get to sleep with hot babes every night, quite the fun time!!" The Greaser chuckled, "The name's Leroy, how do you do?" He offered his sticky hand. "The name's Damon...I don't do handshakes" Damon muttered, "Look, it's my first day in this shit-hole...I'm tired, I just wanna rest" Damon groaned, "Haha, sure, you do you, I'll be making out with some hot babes though...ya sure you don't wanna come with me?" Leroy asked, "N-No, maybe next time, I do like me some...smoking hot babe" Damon cringed as he said those words, as Damon laid down onto his rusty old bed, he thought about his life before all of this, and deep down inside he knew this place was bad news...
