Serge gave out a boisterous laugh. “Yeah, I could see why. He doesn’t like to be defied.”

“I can spare it. Your life.”

“Can you?” He narrowed his eyes on me. “And why would you do that?”

“Because you have something I need,” I whispered, staring at one of the carvings.

Serge followed my gaze and suddenly he was by my side. I couldn’t help but jump back. “How did you…” I stared at him in a loss of words.

He gave me a knowing smile. “An old friend gave me these.”

“Who?”

“Someone who hated Lucifer as much as I did.”

“Someone good.”

He shrugged. “What is good? It’s just the perception of man. Let’s just say she was on my side.”

“Where is she now?”

“Dead,” he smiled. “But I would think she likes to watch, like some perverted witch.

The lights began to flicker and that same evil presence I felt out in the club filled the space.

“So how does one get their hands on them?”

He laughed again, wholeheartedly this time. “Ohhh, I like you. You don’t fuck around do you?”

I shook my head. “There’s no time for it. I just want to know.”

“So let me get this straight. You cut a deal that went raw, and now you’re out to kill me, but will spare me if I tell you how to hide from the Devil? Do you not hear yourself?”

“I know what you’re dealing in. What type of…supernatural you’re bringing into this world.”

“You know nothing!” He finally showed his anger and that fire inside him burst.

Taking my gun out, I pressed it against his chin. “Don’t think for one second I won’t kill you.”.

He smirked. “Honestly, I don’t care. Humans like you, have no power over beings like me. You naive, little insignificantman.”

He said the words with loathing in them. As if he hated the terms of man.

“I’m a lot more deceiving than I look.” I stated.

His eyes narrowed on me then and he stared at me, wanting to intimidate me. I remained stoic, not wanting to show an ounce of fear.

“You are, aren't you? Did the devil give you some power that I don’t know of? Something…unexpected,” he mused.

“You laugh at what you don’t know.”

“No. I laugh at a man who was so overcome with grief he became desperate and made a deal with the most evil of entities. Now he’s sunk himself in such a black hole he’s got no way out. And since God doesn’t seem to really care for those of us who dwell on the darker side of the world, he’s come to me to ask for help.”

“Fuck ,your help. I’ve come here to strike another deal.” I shoved the gun at him and he laughed.

“Ohhh this is getting better and better. Go ahead. I’m curious as to what a puny human like you can offer someone like me.”

“Since you don’t seem to care about your life, then how about I spare your raven’s instead?”
