A city that never sleeps
The world isn't as it seems, and New Yorkers certainly know that well. While the element Asterium is not widely understood, those in the city's underground know better. For millenia, humans have known of this energy. They called those born with it in their bones changelings and mutants. Legends have told of werewolves and vampires for centuries. Those who can harness it became witches and warlocks. All they know now is that some things are better kept secret, and where else can you hide a secret better than New York City?

The delight was clear in her expression when Lucy found out that he could help her with her newfound goal. It had come to her rather suddenly, but now the idea was taking root, spreading out in the corners of her mind. A demon killer. It did have a nice ring to it.
"So many questions," she said with a sigh, waving her hand. "Whatever the price is, I'll pay it if I have the ability to. What do you want? My soul or something?" This little act of bargaining, questioning about price and payment, reminded her of the stories of the devil. Of course, it was just a hunch, but he was possibly a demon.
Lucy was speaking genuinely. Losing whatever she gave to him didn't seem like that much of a price to pay. She had long been bored of her life and her toys, and this seemed like a glimmering opportunity to do something... well, something different. Something actually exciting and dangerous. She would give up a lot of things that most humans would cling to for the chance to experience a true thrill.

Erik laughed at that, amusement reflected across his expression. An adrenaline junkie who was willing to sell their soul to the devil, how intriguing. Of course, Erik was still wary of the implication of his actions. Giving humans any sense of power often meant trouble, but were the risks worth it? He could simply give her an ability to charm...once a demon or an angel saw through it, they'd be able to cancel it out, but it was a start, and he'd own another in his fight against fate.
"I mean if that's what you want to trade," he teased with a toothy grin, "I have no problem with that too." He knew most people thought it as a joke, but hey, selling a soul by accident wasn't out of the way for him; easy wins were accepted, despite his own thrill for the game.
"Let's just say I know of some interesting artifacts around the city, and one that can give you a slight boost in your ability to charm others. What do you say?" he mused, "you up for this?"

Finally, something pragmatic. Lucy grinned in response. "Sure," she said brightly, waving her hand once again as if selling her soul was something she did every Wednesday. "If you don't need me to sign a book in blood or anything, I'm ready to go right now."
"But you can't take it away if you don't like how charming I become to you," she teased in return. Lucy never wanted to relinquish her playthings if she wasn't through with them, and it would be a bummer to gain that ability just to quickly lose it if this guy planned to double cross her.

"Oh, of course not," he grinned, a mischievous smirk was on his face. "I will put limits on it, simply for the sake of my own safety, but let's just say I don't have the same qualms about giving power to those who desire it as others do. I'm not a moralist, let's just say."
He tilted his head towards the direction of where he had been heading. "Are you coming along dear?" he hummed, "tell me, what is it about hunting that thrills you so?"

"Enough about me," Lucy said with a laugh as they started off in the direction he indicated. "I'll only answer if you start telling me more about you. But to oblige you, I'll answer first. I like the feeling of ending a life. It's a rush of power, but I suppose it wouldn't be right to kill a human, so I haven't. But killing vampires and demons... it's new, and it's fun."
She stretched her arms over her head before dropping them back down at her side. "Your turn. What's your name? I'm Lucy- Lucy Lauder. Also, have you been in New York long?"

He smirked. "My name is Erik, Erik Sinderis," he spoke. Of course, it wasn't his true name, but years had passed since he had used his name, so much that he barely could remember what it really was. He could understand her perspective; it was true, killing was amusing once he stopped caring that human lives truly mattered.
"I've lived here for longer than I should," he chuckled. He hadn't lived here his whole life, but New York had been a decent place to hide for the last twenty or so years. "I know the place by heart now, even if it keeps changing." A chuckle left his mouth. "I'm guessing you're born and raised?" he mused, "seems like a very socialite thing to be."

"Well, if I do anything I do it thoroughly," Lucy laughed at his comment. "So yes, born and raised. Of course, there were plenty of summers in Europe." Her tone was teasing, even if the words were genuine. She clearly liked playing into his stereotype of her.
They chattered for a bit longer as they walked toward Erik's artifact, Lucy chattering freely and asking a few simple questions in response. Sometimes she flirted a little, sometimes she seemed faintly bored- her interest levels changed every time the topic did. When they finally got to the place he'd been leading them, she gestured. "So where is this fancy trinket that will help me compel demons?"

"Europe?" he mused, "I grew up in Greece, but I'm pretty sure everything looks different from how I remember it." He was amused by this conversation really; she seemed like an easy conversationalist when she was simply chatting, nothing like the bloodthirsty hunter she truly was. Then again, this made it all the more satisfying; turning a hunter was always a bit of a 'fuck you' to their ways, and this felt no different. He wouldn't mind having this one as a pawn for the rest of eternity, he figured.
"Patience," he hummed, as the entered a square with a fountain in the center, embellished with angels and statues all around it. He walked around the fountain, as if looking for something, his eyes flashing as he spotted a few lines in what seemed like a script. "Ah," he murmured, moving closer, before whispering something in a language that didn't seem human at all.
"Come," he beckoned towards her, "stand here. Do you see the mouth of the beast, where the water comes out?" He gestured to the gaudy fountain, a creature that looked like a reptile and human at the same time. "Reach into its mouth and you will find the serpent's tongue."

Lucy watched him closely as he surveyed the area, eyes alight with interest. And she'd always liked foreign men and languages... vaguely, she wondered what it would be like to have sex with a demon. Her train of thought was redirected when he beckoned her forward.
She moved to his side, peering into the fountain where he pointed. "Sure," she said readily. "Hold my coat." She shrugged off her Burberry, handing it to him, leaving her in a simple, form-fitting black top. She rolled up her sleeves and reached in without a second thought. After a moment of searching, with water streaming down her arm, her hand closed around something small and hard.
Lucy wiggled it free and pulled it out, peering down at the intricate amethyst brooch that seemed to radiate warmth into her body. "Pretty," she remarked, seeming pleased. With a swift motion, she pinned it on her shirt. "Let's see if it works. Lay down, boy," she told Erik, with a growing grin.

At first, it seemed like Erik truly was under a spell, his features went slack, and moved forwards, only to kneel at her feet...and lunging forward, he grasped the jewel from the woman with a grin. It was amusing really, how the first thing Lucy did was try to turn against him; then again, he always did like a fiesty one.
"Eager to make me your pet already?" he teased, glancing at the jewel before turning to Lucy, "for a hunter, I didn't really expect you to believe the first words that'd come out of my mouth, but maybe you're just new and haven't heard of the whole 'never trust a demon' thing."
He chuckled, pocketing the jewel. "This thing doesn't work if you don't know how to use it," he mused, before turning back to Lucy, his eyes turning black, "but lucky for you, I'm the one who's granting you the power you desire. Still want to make a contract?"

"Aw, drat," Lucy said theatrically, pouting. "I thought it would work. I am still new to this, you know." She watched him pocket the jewel, then raised her eyes to meet his gaze. "Ooooh, that's a sexy dark glower. Is that the demon's version of bedroom eyes?"
This damn deal again. "Are you contractually obligated to ask me a thousand times? I told you I want a deal- I still want it. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it so we can hurry this thing up," she said, rolling her eyes with a grin. She was surprisingly unphased by the whole thing, not as scared as she should be- not really scared at all, actually.

He chuckled. "I'm being gracious," he hummed, "compared to other demons who'd just love to snatch you up without you knowing." He wasn't a vindictive sort, the kind who wanted to fuck over any human he could possibly get...well, at least not in this case. She was interesting enough that he wanted her to be certain.
"In return for giving you a little bit of a boost with your demon hunting, and in return, you belong to me." His wide grin spoke more than any of his words did. His finger drew a line and he chuckled, passing her what looked like a fountain pen.
"Here, sign this and you'll have what you want," he mused, passing her the pen and holding Lucy's hand in his, pressing the tip of it to her wrist like a needle, until a pinprick red dot appeared.
"Sign."

"Kinky," Lucy remarked of the belonging comment. She didn't hesitate- in her ignorance she believed that eventually she could just leave. Her parents broke contracts all the time. You just bought you way out of it to avoid the consequences. She took the pen, dipped in her blood, and signed her name, adding a little heart at the end to seal the deal.
An odd feeling spread through her chest, not a painful one but certainly unpleasant. Lucy laid a hand on her neck until it passed, and then she smiled. "Now my powers, and then I'll do your bidding, master." Signing her soul away still seemed to be some big joke to her, but it couldn't be said that Erik hadn't given her plenty of warning.

He laughed at that. "Oh kinky," he murmured, leaning into her ear with a smirk on his face, his teeth meeting his lip in an almost feral grin. Of course, the power didn't exactly work on him; he had made sure of that exception, but still, he was interested in seeing how it worked. As a demon, this kind of wish seemed almost blasphemous, and if one of his higher-ups had known, he'd be fucked for sure.
Still, he was curious for the sake of his own purposes. "Why don't we find one of those other creatures crawling in the night and see if it gives you the boost you've been looking for?"

"Sounds good to me- then I need to get to bed," she said, stretching out. "Unless I'm required to tail you around 24/7." Without waiting for a response, she started off to search the streets. Her hunting was usually haphazard and occasionally drunken, so she let Erik take the lead.
"What's the likelihood of us finding an angel or demon right now?" She asked, looking at her phone's clock. "Usually whatever I find is a vampire or mutant, one of the more boring creatures. If I test this new ability, it should be on a real subject, right?"
