Working Past Midnight

*}*Ariana and Christian*{*
“Milady,” Christian said with an amused look at the young priestess, “did you happen to set a time for when we would leave the school after our exorcising?”

Ariana and Christian walked in almost complete darkness down another of the school’s hallways; her staff lit the space in front of them like a lantern so she wouldn’t be blind. “Actually, I didn’t,” a sweat drop rolled down the side of her head.

Christian sighed; at least Ariana’s mother and father were both away on cases so they weren’t obliged to return at a reasonable time. A distant flash of light barely illuminated the hallway; Ariana stuck closer to her butler’s side.

10 seconds later the roll of thunder could be heard. “A storm is coming,” Ariana stated.

“It would be best if we leave before the storm hits; after all we already performed the second exorcism in the cafeteria,” Christian said with a glance at his mistress.

The 14 year old priestess looked at the incredibly handsome demon and slowly nodded, “You’re right. Numerous souls are at rest and the spiritual energy throughout the school has visibly gone down.” Ariana crossed her arms, “Besides I’m getting an uneasy feeling that something’s coming to this school, and it’s not good.”

“You feel it too Lady Ariana?” Christian looked in another direction, “Xeger’s coming in a while…” he mused quietly. He heard the footsteps of Ariana as she turned around, the staff’s light bobbing as it moved, and started walking in the opposite direction, “Milady?”

“Didn’t you say it would be best to leave? Come on, let’s go.”

It’s been a while since I posted hasn’t it? Oh well, I have now; short but sweet.
