Tina scoffed, “You think I haven’t killed? Doesn’t make you evil.”

“I once massacred an entire village in Africa, and I killed the children first so that their parents could watch,” I said.

Tina’s face seemed disturbed for a minute then she shook her head, “It’s no use trying to kill you even though you really deserve it for doing that.”

“That’s not the worse I’ve done.”

“Do you want me to kill you?” Tina said in a serious tone.

“Well since you know me so much, you probably know that you can’t kill me,” I said.

“The curse,” Tina said softly. “When you turned good the demon you used to work for cursed you with a curse that made you indestructible, so that when he managed to turn you evil again no one could ever kill you.”

I glanced away so she wouldn’t see the pain in my eyes, but she seemed to see it anyways. “It was a safety net you know,” I said softly, “to know that if I ever turned evil again that someone would kill me.”

“Well I can help you, that’s why I’m here,” Tina said.

“Is this out of the goodness of your heart or does your clan want something from me?” I said suspiciously.

“Nothing is free babe,” Tina said that teasing smile that I was actually starting to like.

“Okay if this is all about the trade and exchange, why don’t you tell me how you can help me and then tell me what I need to do?” I said.

Tina nodded and said, “I know a witch out in Russia who has harnessed her powers to heal creatures like us. My clan leader spoke with her and she can lift your curse easily and protect you from any other curse anyone else can put on you.”

My heart filled with hope and she smiled. “Are you serious?” I said.

“Absolutely,” Tina assured.

“Okay, so now what’s the catch?”

“It’s not a catch, just a favor,” Tina said.

I cocked an eyebrow at her.

“Look, there’s a demon out there named Jodi, she replaced your old boss after one of our clans killed him,” Tina said.

“Whoa whoa,” I said raising my hands, “Trikol is dead?”
