Don't seem to have a choice...

You look the demon in the eyes, still trying to decide for yourself if you can trust him or not when you reply. "Well, I guess we don't have any choice really. But why would a demon want to stop the Lilith Strain? I mean...I would have thought that this whole thing would be good for demons."

The demon averts his gaze, casually looking at something on the ground and shaking his head. "There's a large difference between real demons and the watered down versions this 'Lilith Strain' of yours has created. Also, if all demons want to feed off of human souls, but a souless human becomes a demon after transforming, how long do you really think it will take before the demons run out of pure humans? This is a matter of everyone's survival, not just yours." As he finishes, he looks back your way. "At any rate, we don't have much time. I need your help with this...or at least a human's."

Raising your eyebrow, you ask him in response. "What the hell could you need from us? We can't seem to do anything you can do better."

"On the contrary, there's a lot of things you can do. But for one, I need to speak with the leader of this town. However, he's holed himself in on that church nearby, and no demon can enter, not even one such as I. The others will find a way soon however...infected humans can walk on the ground freely, and if they happen to be on the grounds when they transform, they'll gain a type of resistance to the holy grounds, and be able to defile the land until it's safe for other demons to cross. The people inside that church don't know that, but they're not going to hold out for very long once the holy aura of that place has been turned. I need one of you to find a way into the church, and relay my message to their leaders, and hopefully be able to convince them of what's going on."

"Wait...so you want us to walk into a church, and just ask them to come out and meet some demon who's only virtue so far is that he has enough restraint not to **** four humans on site? I think we're going to need something more than that...and how will we be able to convince them that this isn't a trap? Hell, I don't even know if this is a trap."

Mairrick's patience seemed to be wearing thin inside of his eyes. While we seemed calm before, it's obvious from his face that he doesn't have the time for this kind of banter. "I swear on my honor, that this is not a trap...In addition, I can give you one piece of help. That church was built with an emergency exit in case of an emergency such as a fire or a tornado. The clergymen had an escape route built that leads underground, you can possibly use that to get in to find the people without having to use the front door. I can show you the secret exit, but that is all I can do for now....Now will you help me or not?"
