The house was massive and creepy as if Bram Stoker were to film there any moment. She walked listing to the click of her high-heeled boots on the wooden floors.
The man stopped her at a large bedroom door. Aimee could hear voices inside.
"Wait here." The man spoke softly, Aimee heard his voice break and tried not to feel sick for what she was about to do.
The door opened suddenly with a young woman around her age looking confused.
Aimee walked in, "Do you want her here for it?"
The old man on the bed nodded, "A promise is a promise."
Aimee smiled and nodded, "It is."
He looked at the young woman, "I have loved you for hundreds of years, long before I ever knew you."
He closed his eyes. Aimee took his weathered hand in hers and caressed it for a moment as the warm seductive feelings filled her.
She felt his life leave his body and turned away from him. She looked at the girl and spoke softly, "Now you see what happens, remember the ancient creed, ‘Do what ye will but harm none’ and we will never have to meet again young Hyde.”
She winked from the room feeling badly for the girl but grateful she'd been able to help the good Doctor out.
Ari
She slipped up the stairs noticing how her tall black military boots were nearly impossible to remain undetected in.
She could see a light or two on under the crack between the door and the floor, the nuns would be reading the bible before bed. She rolled her eyes imagining such worship by such people. The long dark hallway would have scared the life out of her but she didn’t let it, not anymore. She walked on her toes until she reached the last set of stairs that led to HIS room. She slipped up the stairs in the dark excited with anticipation.
The sickly smell of filth and sin filled the cool air, it hung around everything like a black cloud polluting everyone and everything. She could see the faint flicker of candlelight coming under the door. She could also hear the faintest of sounds. She wondered if he was alone in his room. She gagged slightly frightened of what she might see that would scar her forever. She took a deep breath and kicked the door open. Her legs had grown fiercely strong making the kick echo through the halls as the door was ripped right off its hinges.
He pulled back lifting covers to attempt at hiding his fat flesh. The head nun who had beaten Angry Ari many a time was atop him also gripping at the covers.
"GET OUT!" He blasted her trying to intimidate her.
Ari laughed, "You're a disgusting piece of shit. Both of you."
The nun leapt at her completely naked.
Ari's hand came up fast as lightening gripping her throat.
Ari smiled and put a finger to her lips, "Shhhh. I'm not ready for you yet." The women went still in Ari's hand.
"You little bitch I don’t know who you think you are." He spoke through his teeth jumping off the bed grabbing at her. She let go of the Nun and grabbed both sides of his face pushing into him as violently as she could.
He shot back tripping over the bed and slamming into the wall screaming holding his face.
The air filled with the sweet smell as it sparkled and came to life. His picture was different this time.
He was a young man, he was peeking in a window of a house. A lady was changing inside. He walked slowly around the corner almost tiptoeing. He slid the sliding glass door open and crept into the house.
A noise frightened him and he chickened out running back out the back door.
The picture rewound and he was back at the patio door slipping inside. He ignored the sound hurrying to the back of the house.
The woman screamed as the front door opened and her husband came running in, he grabbed a knife from the counter and ran to the back of the house.
Police and Paramedics filled the house as the man sat on the stairs sobbing looking at the blood all over his hands. Ari watched as two stretchers were carried from the house. The chubby young mans hand fell out of the white sheets.
Ari smiled brightly watching it all play out as the priest faded away to nothing leaving a ring floating in the air. Ari let the ring fall ignoring it.
She turned back to the nun who still stood stunned from the mini push she'd received.
"So now it's your turn."
The nun's eyes grew wide with fear as she started to come back around. Ari touched her face pushing firmly, let it rip from her.
Ari didn’t even stay to see where she went. She walked from the room quickly as the air began to change throughout the building. Ari ran as quickly as she could and burst through the front door. She was out onto the street before the new priest was even in his bed.
She walked out to the figure standing under the streetlamp smirking at her, "Told you I could do it quietly."
Lucas laughed, "I heard you rip that door off the hinges from out here."
She smiled, 'We still have two stops."
He put his arm around her, "Fine but then we go home." He kissed he side of her head and they walked down the road enjoying the quiet of the neighborhood.
