Chapter 2:
[SCRAPPED PROJECT] The Devil Inside Me

Stuck with You? Sounds Like Hell!
I woke up with a cold breeze passing through between my bare thighs. The smell of trash and barf is sickening. I feel so filthy. I look around as I— hold on. My bare thighs...?!? The pants from my school uniform cover my ankles! Unless I stripped I wouldn't be able to feel the wind at all!
I look down to see myself nude. Stripped away from my uniform. Not a single article of clothing. Suns out guns out, except the sun had already set and the gun is a sword.
"WHAT THE FUUUUUCKKK!!!!!!!" I yelled aloud.
Trying to cover up, I grabbed the nearest item around and put it in front of my family jewel. A bag of trash was what I got. I look around to realize I'm just at another garbage bin!
"What happened to me?! What happened when I was out cold?! Where are my clothes?!?"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!" A familiar voice suddenly burst out laughing.
After hearing that annoying laugh, it all came back to me. I recall everything that had happened before. This was all his doing, wasn't it?!
First I was struck by lightning and now this supposed king of Hell's soul has possessed me. I passed out and now I awoke here.
"What did you do?!?" in a panic, I screamed while looking around. I knew Lucifer had no physical form, yet I continued to look for him so I could jab him in the balls.
"Now, now. Settle down, mortal. I was just having a stroll around town. I wanna know what the mortal realm is all about. Though after spending a bit of time, this place isn't so far off from Hell, id say."
"It's similar?!" Hearing that makes a lot of things make sense. My entire life has been so difficult and painful - it was basically Hell, and now I learn it's comparable to actual Hell!
"The people here are so godly unkind! Rude is written everywhere! Everyone I've met so far has been nothing but douches!" he sulked.
I give a deep sigh, "I know that feeling all too well. Humans are pieces of crap."
"Absolutely, just like dead sinners! Listen to this! Your clothes were soaked in some weird juice. It was dragging me down. So I threw them away and took a stroll," he explained with absolutely no malicious intent.
Shocked and aggrieved by his explanation, I immediately cried, "you... YOU DID WHAT—!!!" Just as I was about to shout the nastiest things at him, he cut me off to continue telling his infuriating story.
"Then as I was walking around, this big fat metal box that's called a 'kyar' or something almost slammed on me! The scumbag riding it got mad at ME for being in the way instead! The people in his car were pissed as well! I'd expect the mortal realm to at least be nicer than hell, but it was just the same!"
"No... that's your fault, dumbass— WAIT, EVERYONE SAW ME BUCK NAKED?!?"
"Mm, yeah. I guess so. Anyways," he continues and shrugs it off as if nothing important had happened, "then I ran off from there. Everyone in the street kept looking at me weirdly and some even screamed! I knew you were ugly, but I didn't think you were THAT hideous."
Seriously, if this annoying guy wasn't just in my head and had a body, I would already be beating his face till he could be compared with a goblin.
"While running around for a bit, I stumbled on the stupidly hard floor and fell onto these bunches. They picked a fight with me and I fought them all, 1 v 8. They didn't stand a chance to begin with! Then I saw another one of these 'biens' you call and slept."
I look down at my body once again to notice many bruises that weren't caused by my bullies this morning. "You're reckless!!! This is my body, not yours!!! Stop treating it so terribly!!!"
Obviously, he wouldn't listen and continued rambling, "it was tough since your body is so weak, but I managed to bite one of their ears off. They were just buncha' pussies, ended up running away while yelling for help! Bwahahaha!!"
I couldn't come up with a retort after that one. I take back what I said. If he had a body, my already unattractive face would be in shambles... I should probably keep my temper in check, in case he ever gets too mad at me.
"Oh, no I won't," he responds to my thinking. Drats, forgot he could hear my every thought process. "Exactly, so there's nothing to hide! I won't harm you, since I'm stuck in your body." Lucifer explained.
"Ah, thank God... That's reassuring—" I paused as my heart felt like it dropped to the gutters. The realization slowly starts to sink in as I finally registered what he said. "STUCK??? YOU'RE STUCK IN MY BODY?!?!"
"Hey, don't act like you're the only one suffering. I have to deal with a mortal's body that's this weak! It feels uncomfortable!"
"THANKS FOR THE FUCKING HONESTY!!!!" I yelled as I slammed the garbage bag I was using to cover up on the ground. I climb down from the bin and rummage through the trash like a raccoon, looking for something to wear. I can't walk around like this. It's a miracle the cops hadn't shown up to arrest me by now.
"Bwahahhahaa!!! You look so pathetic mortal!" he pities. As I rummaged through the trash, he continues to explain, "as I said before, I'm stuck in your body like a cookie in a sealed jar. There's no gettin' out of it with brute force. I don't know the solution to get out yet.
"As you may realize, I can feel all the damage your body takes when I take control. I may be immortal, but you ain't. So if your body gets beaten to death, you die too, while I won't.
"If your body dies, then your soul will be taken by the grim reaper to the afterlife - although in this case, it might be different. My soul, however, won't die, but I'll be captured instead. I'm tryna' avoid that fate." I silently listen without responding.
Maybe he noticed my gloom, but he continued with a more relaxed tone. "Well, it's not aaaall bad. There's a perk to this!" A perk?
"Me being stuck in your body gives you faster healing abilities! As long as my soul is still in your body, you will heal exponentially faster than a mere mortal. That'll make dying lots harder!" Well, I guess that's something. At least the wounds from my bullies will fade faster.
After a couple of minutes of looking, I found a sock covered in white sticky stuff, a woman's underwear with a bunch of holes in it, a shirt covered with cockroaches, and a decent trench coat that looks good enough to wear. The last option was frankly the only option. Although wearing a trench coat with nothing underneath is a perverted move, I have no choice. It's not like I'll be flashing anyone anyways.
"I can't physically do it, but I'm clapping right now! Well done mortal, you got yourself somethin' to cover up that skinny body of yours!" he mocks.
Without responding to his insulting praise, I took a deep, heavy breath and sighed. I'm so tired and fed up with all of this. I just want to go home and sleep now, but I still have something to do.
"Hey Lucifer, you better remember the garbage bin we were at earlier! I need to retrieve my uniform back! That uniform was one of the most expensive things I own in my wardrobe. I can't just lose it."
"Huh? Oh, hmmm... Well, I do remember what the scenery around the place was. Der'was a buildin' with a striking roof design," he explained.
After thinking it through, I decided to let Lucifer take me there. "Oi Lucifer, take over my body as you did before and get there! Easy enough for you, right?"
He hesitated before doing his comically evil laugh, "bwahahaha!! You sure, mortal?! You trust me with that?!" I could hear his excitement and amusement at my request.
I give a slight nod indicating a yes. Without any more time wasted, a similar sensation came over my body like before. I lost control of all my senses - all that was left was my sense to see and hear. Everything else felt nonexistent - like I didn't have a physical form. I'm just a mind floating in the air.
In a blink of an eye, my body moved without my consent. The reckless and uncouth Lucifer is now in control.
"Alright, alright! It feels good to take control!" He punches my fist into my other hand. I don't exactly know how to describe it, but it felt like Lucifer had left a wide grin on my face. "I'm gonna take a shortcut!" Lucifer exclaimed as he turned to face the wall.
"Shortcut? This is a one-way road. There is no—" before I knew it, my body had already jumped from the lid of the garbage bin into the bricked wall behind it. There were no ladders around, yet he was able to climb the seemingly flat wall. All he grasped on were the littlest surface left by the imperfect placement of the bricks.
Without much time, my body had already climbed to the top of the building and started running towards other rooftops. "Are we seriously going to parkour?!?"
