Four years have passed since I gave him my soul. He came to me today with a box. This box was odd. The odd thing was it was colored, these colors were like a void in space in time. I couldn 't keep my eyes off the box. The colors of the box moved like a wave the colors came in shades of blue, pink, and purple. Maybe my curiosity will kill me. Before I could open my mouth to ask my curious questions he started to talk in a hushed voice.

" I don 't want it," I stared into his eyes. They were gorgeous. He staggered back as if I had punched him in the stomach. He looked as if he couldn’t catch his breath. At first he couldn’t form any words.
"Why...but it is your soul. How could someone not want their soul back," he looked like he was going to cry. Does the devil cry? I almost felt bad for him. "Elizabeth, please I need this," in an almost pathetic voice. He looked at me with sad eyes.
"Why don 't you ask someone who actually wants their soul back" I laughed, it was almost mean. It was like I was kicking his pretty body when he was down. " I know what is in that box, I know what is in my soul and I do not want it back, weather I am saved or

The willingness for someone to sell their soul in exchange for something they desire or what they most want in life and not always do they have another choice and that’s when they decide to not work for what they want and go the easy way to having fame, power, revenge and beauty. Both Tom Walker from “The Devil and Tom Walker” and Queen Ravenna from “Snow White and the Huntsmen” thought they had no other way and chose to sell their soul to the devil but ended up worse than how they were in the beginning and alone with nothing or nobody by their side. Foremost, Tom Walker was a very greedy man who didn’t care about anyone but himself, not even his wife who he was married for years now, yet there was no love nor affection from both of them.…
