Deals. They're what makes the world go round. Most of the time they're highly beneficial. Others can royally screw someone over. So what happens when a desperate man makes one with a rather shady character? Will he get what he wants? Or will he only...
I dispel the fire allowing Sid to reclaim his breathing. I then cross my arms.
Y/N: "Now spill it. Why's everyone so active?"
Sid: "We're hunting."
Y/N: "Demons are always hunting. Be more specific."
Sid: "We're hunting for salvation."
I slightly narrow my eyes.
Y/N: "Impossible. Everyone knows demons can't be saved."
Sid: "That's the way it's been believed. But there's a way."
Y/N: "What is it?"
Sid: "Long ago there was a great battle. Two brothers, each imbued with a piece of heaven. But for some reason the younger brother had been born with a hole in his heart. That hole grew over the ages. Till one day for no reason the younger brother killed the older one. Since he had committed a sin he knew that when death claimed him, he would be damned. So an object was crafted."
Y/N: "What was the object?"
Sid: "No one knows for sure. All that's known is that it can save any soul, no matter how wicked or damned it may be."
Y/N: "So that explains it. Why' everyone's in such a scramble. Any idea where this object is?"
Sid: "Maybe."
Y/N: "How much maybe?"
Sid: "We managed to track it down to a private collector. All efforts have been focused on contacting them."
Y/N: "Any luck?"
Sid: "No. Seems whoever this collector is really doesn't want to give up this object."
Y/N: "Who's all in on this chase?"
He gets ready to speak. But an arrow is fired through his chest. It hits the wall with his heart skewered on it. The arrow then bursts into flames taking Sid's heart with it. I turn around seeing the door close. I run after the assailant arriving back on street level.
Y/N: "Where'd you go?"
I hear laughter fading down the street. Hopping on my bike I speed after the laughter. Getting closer I see a silhouette. But it soon disappears. As I look around I'm suddenly snatched up and taken into the air.
Looking up I see a winged figure shrouded in darkness. Waving my hand I scorched their left wing off. They wail in pain making us drop out of the sky. We land on a rooftop rolling to a painful stop. Getting to our feet the real figure is put on displayed.

Y/N: "Lilith."
Lilith: "Y/N L/N."
Y/N: "Why did you kill Sid?"
Lilith: "He was gonna blab. We're so close. And you're quickly becoming a problem. Naturally we couldn't afford you catching wind of our goal."
Y/N: "Too late. I already know what you're after."
Lilith: "Then you need to die."
She rushes at me, delivering a right hook. I however twist avoiding her attack and bring my elbow into her nose, breaking it. She narrows her eyes attempting to slice off my head with her claws. But going into a duck I avoid them.
Lilith: "Got you."
She wraps her tail around my ankle and swings me into an arch. I hit the ground where she impales my chest with her nails.
Lilith: "Good riddance."
3rd POV
Lilith turns around. After a shout of pain her left wing bursts back into creation. Then with a flap she takes to the skies. However she shouts in pain. Looking back she displays fear seeing Y/N holding her by her tail.
Y/N: "Don't ever think you can beat me so easily."
