Windy and Baron looked at the blonde man named Tyler Breeze pacing in front of them. It was like watching her world, dark and light, two sides of the same coin, when she studied those two friends. They were nothing alike.
"So let me get this straight," Tyler said. "You want me to cut myself open and bleed out to lure a demon here?"
"Kane," she said. "And we only need a little bit of your blood."
"This can damage my model career," he said.
"What career?" Baron laughed.
"I'm still dreaming of having one," Tyler pouted.
Baron placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Come on, Breezy. I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't important. Our world depends on it. You'll be an unsung hero," he said.
"All this for an angel?" Tyler asked.
"I'm not an angel," she said. "And I have a name. Don't make me feel unimportant just because you don't understand me."
"Sorry. I tend to hide behind stupid lines when I'm scared," Tyler looked at her. "Windy, right?"
She nodded and gave him a little smile. She could understand humans' fears. She wasn't gonna make them seem like they didn't matter just because she didn't share them.
"Okay, I'll do it," Tyler pointed a finger into Baron's chest. "But in return you're going with me to that Chippendales show."
"Okay," Baron said.
"And you'll wait with me after the show in hopes of getting pictures and autographs," Tyler said.
"Why don't you just admit to being gay?" Baron chuckled.
"I'm not gay. I wanna be a Chippendale too," Tyler said.
"You got the body for it," Windy said.
"See!" Tyler beamed. "She gets it!"
Baron shook his head. He couldn't believe they were actually debating if Tyler had the look to join The Chippendales in the middle of a demon-like creature running around in their world. It was too absurd.
"So when are we doing this?" Baron asked.
"Now," she answered.
"Now?" Tyler looked scared. "I thought you said midnight on the phone."
"I thought it was midnight," Baron said.
"No, he has to die before midnight on the day he dies," she pulled out her knife. "So let's kill this son of a bitch."
They took Baron's hearse to a field far away from anything.
"Remind me again why we couldn't do it in the safety of the funeral home," Baron said.
"Because he's been there. He's not stupid enough to go back there when someone calls him," she said. "Go hide behind that tree."
She walked over to Tyler and grabbed his hand.
"Are you ready?" She asked.
"What do I say?" He asked.
"Just call out to any near by demons, and sound desperate and pathetic. He'll hear you," she answered.
"Will it hurt?" He asked.
"Yes," she answered.
She ran the knife over his palm without warning, and he cried in pain. Blood started dripping down on the ground. She moved to the tree Baron was hiding behind.
"Demons? Anyone from the other world?" Tyler called. "My life sucks, and I'm going nowhere. I just wanna be seen and loved. I wanna join The Chippendales. I'll give you my soul in return if you can help me get there."
He started moving backwards when a man came walking towards him fast. The man grabbed his hand, stared at it for a second, and then licked up some of the blood.
"Tyler Breeze," he said.
"How do you know my name?" Tyler whispered.
"I can taste it," Kane chuckled. "So you wanna make a deal with the devil?"
"Yeah, I got the body to become a Chippendale," Tyler said.
Kane grabbed Tyler's throat and smirked. Tyler couldn't breathe. He struggled in Kane's grip when Kane suddenly rolled his eyes back in his head, let go of Tyler, and fell to the ground. Behind him Windy stood, her white eyes turning green again, before she bent down and pulled the knife out of Kane's back.
"Why did he do that? He was trying to kill me," Tyler said.
"Those deals are only for movies," she said. "It's just a fun game for them to pretend to give it to you. He was here to kill you."
"And you didn't think to tell me beforehand?" Tyler yelled.
"No," she said. "Now get him in the hearse."
The two men carried Kane into the hearse, and they all drove back in silence. They got him back on the table where he had been lying a few hours earlier.
"Now what?" Baron asked.
"Now I do what I came here to do, and you're not gonna stop me this time," she answered.
"Sorry," he looked down.
"You didn't know," she said. "Give me the room."
Baron and Tyler walked to Baron's office and watched on the screen as she raised the knife.
"I, Windy, daughter of light, condemn you Kane, son of darkness!" She spoke loudly.
She stuck the knife down in his chest.
"That's it," Baron said.
"Not quite," Tyler pointed at the screen.
She started carving through Kane's chest until she finally pulled out his blackened heart.
"Gross!" Tyler shivered.
"We better get in there," Baron said.
They walked back in where she still stood with the heart in her hand.
"Was that really necessary?" Baron asked.
"Without his heart, he can't rise again," she answered.
"We have autopsies to avoid such a mess you made," he pointed out.
"I have faith in you cleaning it up," she said.
"I will," he said.
She put the heart in a bag, and walked over to the sink to wash her hands and knife. She grabbed the bag, walked back and stopped in front of Baron. She didn't need to say goodbye. He knew this was it. She had done what she had come here to do. She was going back to Lemuria.
"What do I tell people?" He asked.
"Tell them you met an angel," she answered.
