BLUE Hyssop Voice

Prologue:
"Please, grant my wish!" A woman screamed into the vast shadows around her. She saw nothing but darkness as tears ran down her cheeks. Silence continued to be her only response.
"Miranda!" She jumped in fright then turned toward the voice, disbelief written all over her face. The man ran to her side and pulled her into a tight embraced. Miranda struggled against her lover, continuously wailing. All the while her husband petted her hair and whispered soothing words. "It will be alright. We don't need it to be happy, we don't!"
"Well," A deep, airy voice husband tightened his hold around his wife, in a sad sort of protection, to shield her from the words that seemed to emanate from shadows. His eyes glared into the darkness, searching for the unknown presence as it continued with its short phrase. "Isn't this touching." The words were said mockingly toward the couple.
Miranda sobbed into Tyler's shoulder, feeling the ominous soul behind her.
The evil laughed, sending chills down the humans' spines. "Don't worry so much little girl!"
Seeming to have pinpointed the demon's location, Tyler threw his wife behind him widening his stance to block her from view. "What do you want." He snarled toward the anonymous voice.
"I want nothing from you," He spaced his words evenly, continuing to talk in a mocking tone. "But it seems you have need for my," He paused to laugh. "Assistance."
Tyler sensed his wife freeze behind his back. Sending her a questioning glance, he crouched lower in defense. "Don't want your help! We are managing quiet well on our own!"
"It seems your little wife doesn't think so." The voice seemed amused by the husband's antics. It wasn't everyday that something this interesting came bumbling up to the door to his world in search for his help. In fact, his life hadn't been this interesting ever. "In fact, she seemed pretty set on a deal that we came up with."
The husband scowled, refusing to believe his wife would ever think to do something like that. Surely she would have wanted a confirmation from her husband before making a deal with the devil.
