Sleep on it and wait until tomorrow to decide

From Create Your Own Story

You don't have to decide right away. You can sleep on it. Stripping down to your underwear, you take a moment to admire your muscular but feminine body in the mirror, then lie back on the bed and go to sleep.

Several hours later, you are awakened by a thumping noise, as if someone has stumbled, followed by a curse in Spanish. Seeing a shadowy figure in your room, you reach for the pistol you left on the nightstand and point it at the intruder. As you take a closer look at him, you see that it is Eduardo! "Back for more?" you growl.

"Bitch," he mutters. You can see several bruises on his leg. "Fucking stones you put in my way. I hurt myself. But I made it out."

"Um, you're forgetting something," you say. "I'm the one with the gun here. And you're not going to make it now unless you do exactly as I say."

"Fuck you, cunt," he grumbles.

You perform a one-armed cartwheel towards him, then punch him in the nose, sending him to the floor. He tries getting up, but is met with your rapidly rising knee as it strikes him in the face. With a splatter of blood, he is knocked back down again. You aim the gun at his testicles. "Ready to obey now, you little shit?"

"All right, all right, Senorita Katarina! I'll be good!"

"Now tell me the whole story. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

"Several hundred years ago, an Inca warlord made a deal with the devil, selling his soul in exchange for superhuman powers," Eduardo begins. "He began a bloody campaign of conquest and terror, slaughtering thousands of people. The wisest and most powerful Inca priests gathered together to try to stop him. They were unable to kill him, but they managed to seal him away in a tomb deep underneath the Andes Mountains. He was immortal, but he was trapped, and for hundreds of years his rage and hatred grew. Then, a few weeks ago, a group of tourists stumbled upon the opening I showed you. They went inside and accidentally freed the demonic warlord. He slaughtered them all, then began awakening the spirits of his long-dead army."

"Go on," you say. You allow Eduardo to sit up, but keep the pistol trained on him.

"I was hired to look for the missing tourists. I found the opening and went inside, and I encountered...it. The demon gave me a choice. Lure new victims to him, or be killed. So I..."

"You took the coward's way out," you finish for him.

"What else could I do? He showed me the corpses of the tourists. They looked like they had been burned from the inside, and every one of them had a look of pure terror frozen on his or her face. I didn't want to die like that!"

"Why didn't you just run away and never come back after the demon let you go?"

"He said he had powers, that he could track me down if I betrayed him. I couldn't take that chance!"

You look straight into his frightened eyes, pistol pointed at his face. "Now the question is, what to do with you?"
