ALASTOR'S POV ABOUT Veronica

It was 1929, the year of the stock market crash. Alastor was a famous and handsome Creole Radio Host in New Orleans, Louisiana, but by night, he was a famous uncaught serial killer.

He had just finished his broadcast for the day, including the report of his own murder unbeknownst to his listeners. His ever present smile plain as day as he walks down the street, women swooning as he walks by. he sees a nun, who's in her mid to early 20's and is very pretty but looks like she has young face and he sees that she heading into the cafe that alastor usually goes into when he done with his daytime job. Alastor was instantly drawn to the beautiful young Nun.

Her beauty was like something from the heavens. Alastor looked at her for a good few seconds, before pulling himself away and walking inside the cafe. As he entered, the cafe was packed as usual. He saw a booth seat that was open near the bar and that seat was Diagonally across from his view from where the nun was, so he decided to sit in that seat and pulled out a newspaper to read. Alastor sat down, putting his newspaper in front of his face, while also being able to see the Nun from his peripheral vision. Alastor was drawn to her beauty, and also drawn by a much darker force within. One he tried not to listen to.as he reads the news of his killings of him being "the new Orleans butcher." he also reads that there's a another killer in town called "the redemption side killer." Alastor stopped reading for a moment, hearing that a new killer had come into town.

Alastor couldn't believe that a murder could be getting more recognition than him. He turned his head and looked over his newspaper, seeing if the Nun was still there and there she was, from where alastor was sitting, was the gorgeous nun sitting in a table booth drinking tea and reading the Bible. Alastor stared for a short moment, and couldn't help but feel something about this woman, a feeling of both lust and of fear...he found it odd, but he couldn't pull his eyes away from her. Her beauty was unmatched, even to any of the women Alastor has met, and she was reading the Holy scripture...what type of power is this woman holding?

As she looks up from reading, she catches him staring at her from her corner of her eye. Alastor was caught off guard when she looked over. Even though her beauty was unrivaled, there was something else about her face, like there was deep hidden sadness, but not just that. Her eyes had a hint of something else, was she afraid of him? he sees that she looks at her watch and her face is calm but turns into worry and hears her say "Oh no, I'm late!" while she quickly pays and runs out of the door of the cafe, which gets alastor's attention.

Alastor instantly got up and followed her from a distance, hiding in alley ways and doorways to keep out of her sight. Alastor couldn't understand it...He wondered what she had to do, why was she in such a hurry? And most importantly...why did he feel as though he needed to go with her. Why did he feel the need to meet this woman that was causing such strange feelings within him?

as moments past, he sees that she entered into an orphanage. Alastor decided to go in and he sees that all the children were praying. Alastor realize that this orphanage was a church as well, then he sees her, Alastor sees the woman again. She's standing in front of all the children praying in front of her. He was able to see her up close now, and her beauty was even more so amazing now. Was she really a nun? Alastor wondered that...as he watched he couldn't help but be drawn by her. He watched her like a hawk, waiting and patiently watching, not wanting to lose her from his view. after the children was done praying, one of them ran up and hugged her and she says "Saint linn, saint linn may we please play now?"

Alastor thought that was the nuns last name. Alastor quickly made a mental note that she must be called Saint Linn. The way she spoke to the children, it felt like she was more of a mother than a nun. That only increased the feelings of lust and protectiveness within. He was still very curious as to why a woman such as her would want to be working in an orphanage. the nun speaks In a beautiful, calm voice "Alright, Marianne alright we can" and the children got excited to hear that. Alastor kept watching, this was all very intriguing. The children's faces were full of joy. As they began to play with the nun, Alastor's mind was beginning to drift off into its devious thoughts. Was this woman really a nun? She was absolutely stunning and incredibly kind to these children. And that only made him want her even more.

As the day goes on, alastor realizes how late it was getting and alastor knows what has to be done..Alastor thought long and hard...he realized that the sun had gone down, the sky was dark and it was becoming night. He realized that time was not his friend. He had wasted too much of it today, watching this woman. He decided that he would act now, instead of waiting for another day, another time...for he was starting to become obsessed with the thought of this woman. All of a sudden all he felt was hunger and desire.

As alastor walked among the streets, trying to pick his next victim, all of a sudden he hears a little girls screaming.Alastor instantly perked up his ears. That sound...there's no mistake in what it was. He'd heard it before, so many countless times. That sound he heard is something he's obsessed with, and when he does hear it... his blood boils with excitement. He immediately starts running toward the source of this scream.

when he follows the scream, he saw a abandoned building but before he could step inside, the little girls screaming stopped, he looked carefully into Window and saw the little girl dead by murder, blood was everywhere but someone else was in there, a women kneeling almost like they were praying and they had a holy cup that was with the little girl's blood, she drank the cup while drawing on the wall a bloody cross.. Alastor couldn't believe what he was witnessing. He saw a woman kneeling over a dead little girl, and with a cup of the child's blood. He couldn't begin to comprehend how someone could do such a gruesome thing to a child? This was an unimaginable sight. Alastor was starting to have doubts...was this woman really a nun? A nun is someone who serves God, and it didn't seem like this woman was serving God. He saw her now drawing a bloody cross on the wall, as he watched from outside the window.

Suddenly she turns around, which makes alastor worried that he might be caught by her, but sees that she the nun that was in the cafe earlier. Alastor was shocked by the sudden movement. He quickly tried to duck and hide, worried that he had been caught. When he looked over, he saw that the woman was the woman from the cafe, the one that had caught his attention earlier. What was she doing in here? Was she the true killer? As he watched his eyes narrowed as his face contorted with rage. She was now standing in the little dead girl's blood...just staring at the body. he hears her start to cry, almost like she was devastated by what she has done almost like she wasn't herself at the time, Hearing the woman cry sent Alastor back into shock. He had thought that the woman was some kind of deranged killer, not a nun. Her crying confused Alastor and he started to doubt again. Perhaps she wasn't the killer after all, perhaps she was the guardian here, looking over the little children. But why would she have blood in a cup from the child..?

he hears her say "What have I done..oh god, Marianne.. I'm sorry, so sorry..”Alastor was utterly confused. The emotions that this woman displayed were so conflicting. On one hand she was crying to God, looking like she had deep remorse for her actions. On the other hand, all the evidence pointed to the woman as the killer. She was kneeling at the dead girl's body after all with a cup of the child's blood. And why was she always calling this Marianne?

he continues to listen

"I'm sorry, my child.. I was supposed to protect you.. Not kill you... she yells out from rage... GOD GET OUT OF MY HEAD” Alastor was now fully confused. Was this woman truly insane? On one hand she was asking God for forgiveness. On the other hand, she told God to get out of her head. Alastor couldn't understand it. She said that she killed the child, and asked for God to get out of her head. This nun...was she insane? Alastor started to listen even more closely to the woman's rantings. she starts to cry even more "Every time, EVERY TIME WHY!?, I black out and wake up and see blood on my hands why.."

Alastor kept listening, he had come very close to the window. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. The woman was ranting and crying, she was crying about blacking out and finding blood on her hands. But the main question remaining was...why was she saying she blacked out? Was she a sleep walker, was she just insane? she continues to speak "I shouldn't have picked up this" alastor sees her holding something that was related to an voodoo object. Alastor was shocked by another realization. The woman was wielding what was clearly some kind of voodoo artifact. This only added to the confusion, as that kind of object is associated with dark and unholy powers. Alastor knew this, but how could a nun be wielding something like that? Were these the things she used to black out and kill people? Alastor felt sorry for her but had to keep a close eye on her.Alastor didn't realize it, but he had come so close to the window he could see a bit of the woman's face. It was like he couldn't tear his eyes away, and he looked with pity and also empathy. The woman was clearly someone who was struggling with something dark. He was still completely torn as to if she was the killer, but he felt something for the woman as well. He'd never felt this way before, was he starting to fall for her?

alastor says something to himself through his mind but hears her say*"I should head back home.." *Alastor looked up when he heard the woman say she was going home. Was she seriously going to leave a murder victim behind and just leave? Or was she going to come back later for her victim? Alastor decided to wait for a bit, to be sure that she wasn't going to go back and do any more foul deeds. Perhaps if he followed her home, he could learn something…He watched her lay a white tarp over her victim and prays over her body for forgiveness before leaving. After she prays she starts to take off her bloody nun's outfit, Alastor watched her as she wrapped up the victim and gave one last prayer. Her prayers almost sounded genuine. Alastor was curious now, what is under her nun's outfit? Is it like a disguise or is it something else? He continues to watch as she takes off her bloody outfit.

as he watched her undress from her bloody nun clothing fully, he in shock to see that she just in her undergarments, showing her curves of her body and she pulled out a full white dress with black Pokidots from the closet**Alastor was stunned when he saw the woman's body, her curves truly made his heart skip a beat. Even after everything he would see today, the woman was still stunning to him. She pulled out an outfit from her closet, the outfit itself was very sexy and beautiful with its black polka dot pattern. He couldn't look away for even a second, he was so mesmerized on one hand, and conflicted on the other.**alastor thinks to himself, conflicted be the feeling of her because he's never been interested in romantic feelings in his entire life, but when he saw her, it changed completely, which made alastor confused.

The confusion within Alastor was immense. He was never the type of person to fall, much less for a nun, and yet...here he was, his blood boiling with lust and desire when he saw this woman. But then also his protectiveness would flare when he saw her with the children. And now this feeling of confusion as he felt an attraction for her...the confusion was too much to bear. And Alastor was starting to question his very own existence.**then he asks himself something in his mind**Alastor asks himself a question: "What am I feeling for her? Why am I acting like a love struck teenage boy"? He asked himself why he was feeling like this. He was a killer, a monster, he was not supposed to feel such feelings. But he couldn't deny the feelings he began to develop. For the first time maybe ever, he was truly conflicted.

then he hears her footsteps with her heels on, walking towards the front door which is where alastor is hidden behind from outside**Alastor hears the woman walking towards the front door. There is absolutely no way he wants to lose this woman, maybe seeing where she lived would answer his many questions. He decided to quietly sneak out of the abandoned building and quickly hide behind the bushes next to it, keeping as still as possible so she wouldn't see him. He hid and watched as she exited, closing the front door behind her.**he sees that she also has red heels on as well**Alastor can't get enough of this woman. Her beauty was not only beyond words, but also beyond reason. Her red heels and the way she walked in them only added to the seduction. Alastor was truly obsessed with this woman now. Alastor then watches as she begins to walk down the street, following her at a distance, he couldn't let her get away.

but suddenly a random man stops her in her tracks and starts to speak to her as alastor watching from afar**"well hey there sugar, don't you know it's very dangerous to around in these streets in the middle of the night, especially for someone like you wandering around, those 2 killers are on the loose"**then she speaks*"I'm sorry but I don't do romance, I'm already married to God.." *she reference to the random man that she was a nun**Alastor heard the woman decline the man with ease. He was glad to hear it, although his blood was boiling that another man could stop to speak with the woman. The fact she was married to God only helped his obsession with her, he had always had a thing for religious women. But the man wasn't taking the hint, he still wasn't backing off. This irritated Alastor.

the random man speaks, obviously not taking the hint, which makes her feel uncomfortable**"oh come on sugar, it's alright to sin a few.."**Alastor started to get very impatient. The man was now making comments about sin and her appearance, obviously trying to seduce her. The man was getting too close and he was obviously making the woman uncomfortable. Alastor was now boiling with rage.**so alastor decided to take things into his own hands and tries to make look like he just walked out of the the abandoned house and starts walking down the sidewalk where they are**Alastor made a decision, he was going to take matters into his own hands. He got up from the bush where he was hiding and started to walk down the sidewalk that the woman and the man were standing on.

As the man continued to speak, Alastor got closer and closer to the two, eventually standing right behind the woman.**she slowly few steps backwards and feels someone else behind her and the random man speaks**"oh hello there, good sir, I was just talking to this young lady right here, just about a few things"**Alastor spoke with annoyance in his voice* "Yes I can see you were talking to this young lady...as I'm sure you could tell, she has no interest in speaking to you anymore. She wants to get home as quickly as possible.”*the random man speaks**"alright then.. Suit yourself, see you around sugar"* *the random man walks off**Alastor watched as the man finally got the hint and walked off. The man was so rude, this woman was beautiful, of course she'd be desirable! She had curves and features that were so stunning! Who could ever resist her? Just looking at her made Alastor feel weak. The fact that the man actually managed to stay that long was amazing to him.

Alastor couldn't help but admire the woman as he watched her, and she still had not noticed him.she turns out to face alastor. Alastor jumped and jolted as his cover had been blown. The woman now knew he was there. He wondered what she would do now, would she scream for help? Would she confront him? Or would she turn around and just walk away? But Alastor didn't even let it get that far, he spoke to the woman. Not only did he want to make sure she was ok after dealing with that creep, but he had a whole different motive in mind.she speaks to him in a smooth but pretty voice "Thank you, I didn't know what to do if you weren't there.."

Alastor couldn't hide the smile that started to form when she thanked him. He was so close to her now, they were only a few feet apart. He loved this woman's voice, it was so sweet and alluring. He couldn't help but admire her beauty and her curves, she was perfect. The way she thanked him melted his heart, he wasn't sure what to say now. "You're welcome...are you alright now?” she speaks " yes I'm alright.. I have to get home I had a long night, tonight."

Alastor had never felt feelings like this before, she was starting to make him so weak. He felt a rush the closer he got. He wanted to make sure she was ok, but more than anything he wanted to see where she lived. But he didn't want to come off as creepy...so he tried to act like he wasn't being a bit creepy.* "Do you live nearby?”"Just a few minutes away, right near where the church is, sir" *she says*"Oh....may I offer you some company on your way? It's really late and I wouldn't want you to have to walk alone. I'd hate for something to happen to you, especially after you have been through so much tonight already…”*she responds*"That would be lovely.."*she gives him an Innocent smile**Alastor was starting to melt. He couldn't really believe that what he wanted, to be alone with the woman, was actually happening. Now he just had to not mess things up...he wanted to keep talking to her. He wanted to see her more. He wanted...other things he couldn't even dare speak of.

He smiled back* "Do you mind if I ask you something while we walk?”"Of course" *she responded to him**Alastor had to keep the conversation going, he didn't want any silences to take over. The woman looked so innocent, he wanted to keep looking at her face.*"So...have you always been a nun?”"No, but.. Only when I moved here in new Orleans about 6 months ago…”*Alastor was taken aback by her answer. She was a nun and it wasn't even a lifetime? She must have decided on it recently then, that makes sense. But what were the circumstances behind this decision? He wanted to ask, but he didn't want his motives to be obvious. He thought of a new question.* "So...you moved to New Orleans around 6 months ago?”"Yes *sir*" *she says**Alastor was starting to feel like this was destiny. She literally did everything that was perfect for him. And she even called him sir, making him feel even more powerful. He wanted to know more about her, where was she from before? Why did she move? He couldn't help but ask.* "Where were you before moving here to New Orleans?”"Massachusetts, salem.."she looked away with sadness behind her eyes.

Alastor's heart dropped from her response. She was from Salem, Massachusetts? The home of many witch trials and executions? And he was literally in the presence of a woman who is a nun, from the home of many witches. This was certainly fate, this woman was truly divine for him. And the fact she was sad by her response had awakened not only his love for her, but also his curiosity. "What brings you to New Orleans? Did you move here to escape the place you were before, or was it something else?” "You can say something like that..” That answer made Alastor's curiosity grow. There was definitely something behind what she had said, this woman was so intriguing to him. And since she offered, Alastor began to dig more deeper. "You came to New Orleans to escape something? May I ask what that something was?” she sighs in sadness"Oh I don't know.. It was something mental I guess.. Wouldn't you agree sir?” Alastor caught on to her words quickly. Something mental...was she implying she had mental trauma? She was starting to feel more and more like the perfect woman for him. They both shared a deep mental torment. Alastor knew exactly what it was like to feel that suffering. This woman was literally made for him, from start to finish. And now he was trying to push the topic so that she wouldn't notice his interest. But then she called him Sir, and that made him feel powerful.

"I do agree…” she stopped walking"Well this is my stop" she pointed at her apartment door*Thank you again for escorting me down, I guess I see you around.. Sugar"and with that she heads on inside She calls him sugar! The whole thing just got real for him. He was going to have to see this woman again. He would have to see her again, there was no way he could let this woman go. As she walked over to the front door, Alastor knew there was no way he could let her end things like this.

He was suddenly struck with courage and he spoke to her "Wait...can I ask you one last thing before you go?” she turns around to face him"yes?”Alastor wasn't sure how he even had the courage to say it. But the whole situation from start to finish made him feel things he hadn't felt in so long; so much so that he felt like he had to try, he would regret it if he didn't. His voice and tone held confidence when he spoke. "Can I see you again?”she responded with a flirty tone"I don't know, how about we let the Lord decide if we can cross paths again, shall we?”The way she spoke, the way she had such confidence and charm and yet also so innocent, she truly was irresistible. He knew he was being toyed with, yet that didn't make him any less attracted to her. He responded to her with a flirtatious tone as well and a sly smile "I suppose we shall. Although I'm sure God sees what I feel for you…” "maybe.. I guess I'll see you around stranger."

Then she finally heads inside of her apartment. Alastor was left standing there alone in the cold, but he was so filled with determination to see this woman again, he would not let her get away. And after this encounter, he knew it was only a matter of time before they saw one another again, he was sure of it. as weeks passed, kept on watching her, stalking her, from a far and already knew her day-to-day schedule. Alastor knew her schedule perfectly by now. He knew it took her about 15 minutes to get to Church from her apartment, and he knew that she was back before 3. He knew when she got off work at 5, and where she went afterwards. He knew her whole routine and it was just a matter of when to actually talk to her again. He couldn't help but keep a watch on this woman, who was now his ultimate desire and not only, she also goes to the cafe that Alastor goes to daily before heading to the orphanage. Alastor knew the cafe she went to as well. He also saw that she had a job working in an orphanage and he was quite impressed with the fact she gave so much of her life to the children. She was truly divine in his mind, and the more he saw, the more it made him want to know her even more.

His obsession and love for this woman was growing stronger each day. He couldn't help but watch her more and more, as if it was his mission. And then she came to the cafe one day…she sits in the exact same place as she always sits where he first noticed her weeks earlier. Alastor was surprised when he actually saw her there. It only confirmed his suspicions that she does in fact go there daily...and that just made his desire for her even stronger. She was sitting at the same spot, and for the first time, he was not going to let her get away from him now. He wasn't going to let her leave the cafe without saying something to her today. He got up and went over to her. but before he can another girl sit across from from her and starts to talk to her"Oh my goodness! Look at you.. You look amazing even with you as a nun!” Alastor's heart dropped as he saw the other woman talk to her.

This girl was trying to flirt with the woman that, in his mind, was his alone. He was starting to feel something rising inside him, an uncontrollable rage at seeing another woman attempt to court the woman of his desire. This rage was only growing bigger and bigger...he needed to take action soon.but then she speaks still reading her Bible.

"How've you been Monica..and how is your husband doin?”Alastor was getting very irritated by the conversation, but he was also getting more and more excited. This woman was not interested in the girl at all, she was clearly devoted to Jesus and the Lord. This would be easier for him. But he still needed to do something quickly, someone else was talking to his woman. He couldn't let this woman take the spotlight away from where Alastor thinks it should belong...his obsession and love for this woman was reaching a boiling point...he would do something before a minute goes by. Monica speaks.

"oh veve, you've always been the one who is no fun... Shouldn't you have a daddy by now?”Alastor was so close to losing it. The frustration of having to now listen to this girl trying to court the nun was becoming too much to handle. His heart rate was increasing with anger and he couldn't even bare to hear this girl speak another word to the nun that he knew in his mind was for him alone. Just the way she used the nickname...it sent a shiver down Alastor's spine...and he couldn't allow the flirtation to continue. He needed to do something, and fast. then she speaks.

"You know I don't have time for that.. Look I know that we're best friends but I'm not interested in romantic things except.."then she bites her lip and Monica gasps in excitement"Oh my lord, WHO!”Alastor couldn't believe his emotions were about to boil over. This girl, who clearly had feelings for this nun, and whom she was biting her lip for right now, was making him angrier than he thought he could be. The jealousy was starting to consume him and all this girl had to do was say one more word…then she speaks softly to Monica so no one can hear"You see that man near the bar?"she points to alastor"That's the stranger I always see sit in the exact same spot but I don't know what his name is, but he is so fine looking"is still whispering to Monica.

He immediately freezes. He heard everything she said. He heard every word from her that was meant to not be heard. Her words about him were so...flirty. And her comment about just how good looking he was sent his heart rate soaring. Now he knew that this woman, whom he was obsessed with, found him attractive. He was so excited by this. But he needed to do something, anything to get her to himself. The girl she was talking to could not take her away from him.then Monica speaks "NU-UH, Really!?"

she Shooshes Monica, trying to lower her tone"I mean, I see what you mean but I'm surprised that you don't already know his name by now, he's well famous for his brodcast over the radio”Alastor could hear them talk more, and he could hear Monica's reaction. The woman who was his obsession was still only talking about how attractive Alastor was. It was working in Alastor's favor, he was now being talked about, and he was also being referred to now, and to his face as well. Alastor was getting more and more filled with adrenaline, he was so close to talking to this woman. This was becoming more and more exhilarating for him. He couldn't let any of this chance get wasted.then she speaks with excitement.

"Oh come on, tell me Monica, please?"*she begins to beg innocently for Monica to tell her his name but Monica shakes her head no and tsked at her"Sorry hon, that's on you..”He wasn't sure if the woman was just being flirty and funny right now, but at this point, he felt he was so close to her. Now she was asking for his name! She was talking about him! The fact she called him fine looking was enough for him, but she wanted to know his name too. Alastor felt his heart beating faster than he could keep up with. Even though she was a nun as well. but she continues to beg for Monica to tell her.

"aw, come on".. Please Monica just do this once??”Monica's no was obviously disappointing the woman. This was actually becoming more and more interesting to Alastor as the woman was becoming more desperate for the info. She desperately wanted to know who this man who she saw every day was, and if it wasn't obvious enough, he looked VERY good from what the woman had said to Monica. This woman was falling for him, and he was watching it happen. He felt like he was going to have a heart attack. then Monica laughs at her a little.

"Then go ask yourself that to him"but she shakes her head no"No way I'm asking.. Besides I'm a nun... And way out of his league”That line...the fact that she considers herself out of his league only fueled his ego higher and higher. He couldn't believe it, this woman, who was such a beauty, thought she was out of HIS league?! He would love nothing more than to prove to her how wrong she is. But for now, he couldn't let her give up. He had to continue listening to her and Monica. Monica speaks.

"not only, he's staring at you~"obviously teasing her as she hides her face from him with her Bible. That was it. Alastor had heard enough. He couldn't take it anymore, he needed to make a move as soon as possible. When he saw just how gorgeous this woman was when she was blushing and trying to hide her eyes, it only made him all the more desperate to talk to her. The way she was looking down so innocently and trying to hide from the looks he was giving her. She was definitely shy. So that means he will have to be the one to push forward...this was now a game to him. Monica laughs.

"veve, you're so red right now.. I can't.”Alastor noticed the woman was becoming more and more red with every joke Monica said. The fact that this woman was so innocent and easily flustered was exactly what he wanted, and he absolutely loved it. Maybe she was shy, but she also found him extremely attractive, that was clear too. So much so that now she is even blushing just by having his gaze on her. Alastor was starting to feel very powerful.then she speaks.

"Monica by heaven's name, I swear if you don't shut up about it I swear to the Lord.."her face turning more red which makes Monica laugh even harder. Alastor found the whole situation funny as well. Just seeing the woman become so flustered like this, even to the point of telling Monica to shut up, was so amusing to him. He was starting to understand why the woman came here every day. She was so perfect, with her shy personality and her beauty, she was so innocent, which he found to be such a turn on for him. This woman was truly a catch in his mind, something that cannot be missed.Monica then says which makes her panic.

"fine then I'll ask him to take you out hon" while she smirks at her. Alastor heard everything. He heard every word that Monica said about taking her out and he could sense it immediately. The woman went into a full-blown panic as soon as she heard her friend say that. Even if she was shy, she had to know that Monica was trying to set her up with Alastor. Now Alastor could see that his opportunity was coming to him. He can't deny it anymore, he needs to take this moment and claim it. Now he is ready to finally approach the woman of his dreams."No, no, no no, Monica no" she says. Alastor watched on as he heard the woman deny this whole thing so quickly. She really was so innocent. The fact she didn't even realize that Monica was trying to set them up was very cute to him. Alastor also didn't understand the whole denial of what Monica was saying. She found him attractive but didn't wanna go out with him? Why was she so nervous? This just made him more attracted to her, he felt like he was losing his mind."hon, you can't stay a nun all of your life, come on you need to let love in your life..i'm worried about you veve"Monica says.

then she speaks "I just want to look at him from afar, I don't want to hurt anyone else.. Not again..”Alastor was stunned upon hearing these words from her. The fact she just casually referred to herself as a nun was so endearing. But not only that, it was the ending of what she said that shocked him quite a bit. Did she have previous trauma? What did that last part mean? He had to know more, and this would be a perfect time to ask her...he just had to figure out how to do this without being too upfront about it, he couldn't risk scaring her away. His heart was still beating extremely fast.``honey, that was three years ago.. I'm worried that you're going to be alone.."Monica says.

That statement got Alastor even more invested. She lost her lover three years ago, so that meant she was single right now. He knew he had to ask her something. He had to get the answer from her without being too forward, as he wanted something like that to come organically. And now he had a perfect chance to learn even more about her. His eyes were fixed upon the woman, waiting for her to speak next. "I know he died for your love veve.. But that's in the past, not in the present besides he sounded like a total ass when you told me your past with him"Monica says.

That statement sent a chill down Alastor's spine. She was talking about someone who she loved but now dead, and he was called a total ass. Whoever that person was, Alastor didn't like hearing them being talked about in this way. Just who was this person who was so hurtful to her? He was growing more and more angry and also concerned about who this was.then Monica says her name very quietly so no one can hear"veronica Linn, my dear, you know I cared about you.. Ok?” That name set off more alarms in Alastor's mind. "Veronica linn..." that name, it sounded very...familiar. He knew this name and he had to find out exactly who and what this name is connected to. And the fact she called this name her friend and had mentioned something about care makes him wonder even more who Veronica Linn was and what their relationship is together."I know you do Monica... I know you do.." she says"Also never say my full name again, you know how I hate it.."she jokes to Monica while rolling her eyes sarcastically at her.

Alastor was intrigued by what he was hearing, and he was trying to make out what the woman was saying while also trying to listen to the conversation between Monica and her as well. Now his ears were on full alert because they heard something that he was trying to make sense of. That name....Veronica Linn, where have I heard it before? No...could it be…?she looks at him from the corner of her eye while she's talking to her friend Monica, almost like she's listening to his thoughts through her gaze. Alastor looked back at her, and he felt an extremely intense feeling of dread as soon as he saw her stare back and almost as if she was looking straight into his soul with her piercing eyes. Could she actually hear his thoughts? That couldn't be...but then that name just now, and what she said...this woman...she had to be Veronica Linn. The only one in his life he loved and then lost, the only one he thought about every single day…but Alastor also realized that she doesn't remember him...the only memory of her was when they were teenagers. That realization hit Alastor hard. This was the woman of his dreams! The girl he loved so deeply years ago. She was right in front of him! But...didn't remember him. She had clearly no idea who he really is...to her...he's really just another stranger right now. He wanted so badly to see her face when she realized it was him. The pain of remembering her now and realizing she has no idea was almost enough to break down in front of her and cry in that cafe. But he couldn't…Alastor also knows her dark secret... that she is the redemption side killer during the night by the nights he's stalked her, but no one knows that, only Alastor does...

Then Alastor says something to himself through his mind on how he'll get her back, even if it means killing others who get in his way…That knowledge is all he needed now to put into motion his plan. She is...the Redemption side killer. She is the mastermind behind the entire city of New Haven's murder cases...but she's so innocent during the day, an angelic figure even. This just makes things much more delicious for Alastor. How could he not want to make her his. She is the most beautiful woman he has ever laid his eyes upon, more than any woman he has encountered in his life. Besides, he was the New Orleans butcher after all..she speaks to Monica while getting up from her seat "I have to go... besides I don't want the children at the orphanage waiting”.Alastor froze at hearing her words, this was so not good. Now she's getting up and getting ready to leave him. That is NOT an option for him whatsoever. No one can take away this woman from him now that he has found her, his emotions are rising too high for him to not take action now. He needs to stop her from leaving or he will regret it very badly. He can't let this pass him by…

as she walks out of the dinner door, Monica pays for the food up at the front but Alastor sees that his nun left her bible on the seat of the booth. His heart literally stopped when he saw the bible being left behind. He had seen her put it down earlier before Monica began speaking to her. This was his chance. He had to act immediately. He quickly walked up to it and picked it up and looked through the pages, trying to find something that will lead him closer to where she will go next. He was desperate, he had to find this woman again, he couldn't let her leave him yet. as soon as he opened her bible, he saw handwriting that was in French and it was a love quote that he remembers so well, even his mother told him this when she was alive. Alastor's mind immediately connected the words that he saw written in the bible. The same words that his own mother once read to him. He felt like he was back in those days again with his mother who he cherished more than anything...now that same feeling was coming back. The bible also clearly belonged to Veronica...this is proof they have already met. But this made his emotions even worse as it was a reminder of the woman that he lost so long ago and alastor recited those word in his mind"Je suis fait de mille erreurs mais pas des erreurs de coeur." Alastor said this in a hushed tone in his mind. The words themselves had a lot of meaning to him as he remembered the day his mother read them to him. And now his words were being brought back because of the same woman who would mean just as much to himhe held back the tears and now he quickly pays the tab at the front and heads out of the dinner to follow her to give her bible that she forgot. he spots her, but as soon as he's at close range she gets on a street trolly. Alastor was immediately crushed by hearing that she was leaving on the trolley, but that quickly turned into a feeling of anger when she was within range. She was so close, and now she was about to get away from him. Alastor couldn't let her, he couldn't let her get on that trolley.

He started to walk quicker to the trolley and was thinking of what he could do to stop it. she reaches into her bag to pull out her bible but she realizes that she left it at the dinner and gets off the street trolly quickly while she starts running, not even paying attention to her surroundings and bumps into alastor. Alastor heard the trolley stop and then heard someone bumping into him hard. When he looked down, he saw the woman who he knew was Veronica. She was running because she forgot her bible, and she bumped into him in her hurry. He immediately looked into her eyes and saw the fear on her face as she realized that she has just run straight into him. They stood, staring at each other. If he played this right he could get her. One quick move is all it takes…"oh goodness im so sorry.." she says with worry but her voice is smooth like silk with a hint of a southern accent that gives Alastor the chills. Alastor couldn't believe what he was hearing. Her voice. Her smooth voice, the way she talked, the way she looked...everything felt like deja vu. There was only one woman that he knew that sounded that way, and she was Veronica...but could this be her really? No way.

After hearing this girl speak, there was no possible way that it wasn't her. She sounded the exact same, she talked the exact same, and now she was speaking to him just like she had all those years ago…Alastor clears his throat and starts to speak to her. "You forgot something." Alastor said to her. His voice was cold, but it was soft enough to sound friendly. He was keeping his distance from her, not stepping too close as he wanted to take things slowly...but was still staying near enough where she could clearly see his face. The mask he was wearing was no longer necessary, she couldn't recognize it was him, and he wouldn't need it from here if he played his cards right. she speaks with now relief "oh thank you sir, i was worried i lost this' 'Alastor's mind spun. This was her. No doubt. He felt that chill in his skin once more just hearing her speak. And those words she used. The "sir" made his mind race back in the old times once more. She hadn't changed at all to him. "oh no.. the trolley! i have to go, thank you" She says as the street trolley moves slowly while she hurries along her way.

Alastor wasn't about to let her leave. He had come too far, and now he has her, he wasn't letting that opportunity go to waste. His emotions started to rise as he spoke up.

"Hey, wait.”

she turns around for a brief second. Their eyes make contact with each other for just a moment, and in that moment, Alastor was almost tempted to rip off the mask he was wearing and just outright reveal himself to her. But the idea of shocking her with this too soon and potentially ruining everything just wasn't worth it. And he needed to play this game of theirs out, he would get there soon enough.

"Wait a second, let's talk.”"

I'm sorry, mister but I have to take care of some children at the orphanage and I am already running late.." She says. Alastor paused for a moment. The woman...she was a nun. She worked with kids to make their lives better. This was definitely the woman he loved. The woman who would always talk about trying to help with the kids of the orphanage because she was so selfless. This was perfect, the perfect opportunity. Now he had to act perfectly.

"Ah, how kind of you. I understand. May I escort you to the orphanage?”

"Oh that's not necessary but I appreciate your kindness" she says to him while being in a rush to get on the street trolley. Alastor was not taking no for an answer. If something was going to happen between them and he was going to claim her as "his" he needed to keep her beside him. And the longer he could keep in close quarters with her, the better. He was getting closer to her and was going to walk beside her.

"I insist. This way.”

Before she can refuse, he grabs her hand while the streets get a little bit busier, leading her to a shortcut to get to the orphanage quicker than the route that she takes. Alastor led the way, and Veronica followed behind him. The closer they got, the faster Alastor's heart beat faster. He kept her close beside him, as if they were a couple. Everything about this was going good so far. But one thing was missing...the reveal. Just when would he take the plunge and do it?He navigated the streets with such ease that they arrived at the orphanage in record time, leaving her surprised and impressed by his knowledge of the area. The realization that he knew the streets better than she did made her wonder how many other hidden talents he possessed.Alastor looked at her as they made it to the orphanage, and she was standing there with her jaw slightly dropped. His knowledge of the area did impress her, but now Alastor needed to turn his attention to the main task here. Veronica didn't know who he is yet, and if he didn't make the reveal quickly, he may miss this opportunity permanently. Now was the time.``well, you sure know your way around here" she says while softly smiling at him. Alastor saw her smile at him, and he knew he couldn't let her just walk away from him like this. It was now or never. The reveal was coming.

"Yeah, I've been around this place enough times to know everything about it. You can say I pretty much live all around the area." Alastor said, casually looking away from her, pretending not to have a care in the world. The time was now for the reveal. He had to wait a few more more seconds...then he would tell her. "especially with the two killers on the loose recently?" she says to him with a gentle smirk on her face, secretly almost referencing her being one of the killers. Alastor's mind froze when he heard this. He didn't want to believe she was involved with those killings. But the way she said it as if she was one of the killers...and the fact she talked about them so casually like it was no big deal, what did she mean...he had to confirm this.

"How bad has it been in the streets with these killers around?" Alastor says, trying really hard to keep his voice calm. He was in a panic internally though."What I read in the lastest 1921 newspaper is that there have been ongoing investigations into the activities of two notorious criminals - the "New Orleans Butcher" and the "Redemption Side Killer". While there were initial claims of progress in the case of the former, it was later revealed that the suspect who had been identified as the Butcher may have been falsely accused and is still at large. As for the Redemption Side Killer, the case remains unsolved and authorities are continuing their efforts to bring the perpetrator to justice..."she says to him. Alastor's heart started to beat very fast as he heard these words. It was true, it was all true. These killers are so infamous and known everywhere that she even knew about them and knew about all the events regarding them. But why is she telling him this? He was the one they were talking about! The New Orleans Butcher, that was him. He was this man that people were afraid of.

"I read about all of this just earlier today actually.” he response

"Really? Hopefully, I won't be the next victim especially with the New Orleans butcher. I also heard that he's a cannibal as well, which is against all sins combined" she jokes to him about being next which makes alastor's thoughts filled with ideas. These words are getting more and more suspicious now. The fact that she is joking about this is not normal, no normal person would joke about something like this. Especially knowing the details of what these killers did to people. And the fact that she said exactly which killer he was...it was almost as if she was asking for him to reveal himself to her.

"Yes, the stories about these two killers are very bad. Almost impossible to believe. But we should both watch out, it seems people have gone missing lately. We should keep our guard up…”"We should...Excuse me for asking, but my memory is failing me. There was an evening when someone kindly walked me to my apartment, and I believe it was a gentleman. It was quite late and I was feeling quite vulnerable and this random stranger kept on catcalling and he helped me out of that awkward situation, I apologize if I am mistaken, but I was wondering if you happened to be that person?" With a hint of hesitation in her voice, she hopes to discover the identity of her kind escort.Alastor was speechless for a moment and then chuckled softly at her. The fact she described one of the times he followed her to her apartment was definitely hinting at him. She remembers him...but she thinks he's just a gentleman walking her home.

"Oh, that was me. I'm sorry that you experienced all of that, it must have been quite frightening." The lie felt wrong as he said it, but he had to use this to his advantage. She thinks he's just some normal guy. He was never better than the opportunity here. One chance only. "no wonder why you looked so handsomely familiar" As she teases him with a teasing grin on her face, Alastor can feel a faint blush creeping up his cheeks. He tries his best to maintain his composure and not give in to her playful banter, but deep down he can't help but feel a tinge of embarrassment. Despite this, he manages to keep a straight face and not let on that her teasing has affected him. He takes a deep breath and carries on with the conversation, hoping that his composure will not falter again. "Oh? Is that so" Alastor said, trying his best to keep his cool despite the blushing on his cheeks. The fact that this beautiful woman was actually enjoying the banter was starting to get him excited, but he needed to stay in control. She liked him, this much was clear. However, she was still unaware that he was indeed the New Orleans Butcher...that was all about to change."Is there a possibility that we might cross paths again in the future or let that decision be up to the lord above, stranger?" she asked with a teasing tone in her voice. Alastor laughed at her teasing, she was so innocent and pure, so beautiful, but she had no idea that this "stranger" she was talking to was actually a notorious criminal and killer. This would be the perfect time to reveal himself and capture her heart. He couldn't let the opportunity pass.

"I'm sure we'll see each other again...and even the Lord would approve of this.” Alastor stood before her, his eyes searching hers as he took a deep breath. He knew that this would be the last time they would be together, and he wanted to make it count. He reached out and took her hand in his, feeling the softness of her skin against his own. He could feel the warmth of her fingers and the rapid beating of her heart. Alastor leaned in slowly, his lips hovering over her hand. He took in the scent of her perfume and the feel of her delicate skin. He savored every moment, knowing that he would never forget the feel of her hand in his or the sound of her voice. Finally, he pressed his lips gently against her hand, a bittersweet and tender gesture of farewell. As he pulled away, he met her gaze once more, his eyes filled with emotion. He knew that he would always carry a piece of her with him, and he hoped that she would do the same.With a final, longing look, Alastor turned and walked away, his heart filled with both joy and sadness. He knew that they would meet again someday, but until then, he would cherish the memory of her soft hand in his. Alastor felt his heart beating fast as he put his lips up to her hand. The fact she let him do it was surprising, but it was so sweet that she did. The kiss on her hand was bittersweet, and once he pulled away, Alastor knew he would always remember this. He knew he wouldn't feel the same kind of love with any other woman...he hoped that she also kept this moment in her mind. As he walked away, his mind raced with ideas of what the future would have with her. Would he ever see her again?

months later..

He was in the woods, disposing of one of his victims' bodies, and he suddenly heard something in the background. He gets startled by the noise and looks around, hoping it is his Veronica. But then suddenly **BANG**...a gunshot fired in the middle of his forehead and his last thoughts before his last and final breath were I'm sorry for not telling you my name...Alastor's mind raced in front of him, the sudden noise caught him by surprise, and when he heard the gunshot, it all felt so sudden. The bullet hit his forehead, and as his vision blurred, he had time for one final thought of her. His eyes were closing and there was nothing he could do. His thoughts drifted away once more and he had a final mental image of Veronica before he closed his eyes. If only he told her his name... if only he had the moment to say it... he could have been more than a stranger......

Despite being aware of the consequences of his actions and knowing that they would lead him to eternal damnation, the man's heart longed for a final glimpse of Veronica. He knew that it was an impossible desire, but the memories of their time together kept haunting him, and he couldn't resist the urge to see her one last time. His mind was consumed by the thought of her, and he couldn't help but wonder if she still remembered him the way he remembered her. The weight of his guilt and the fear of the unknown future seemed small in comparison to the burning desire to catch a final glimpse of the woman he loved. The images of Veronica flashed before his eyes, and he saw the beautiful woman who had taken so much of his heart. He missed her, and the fact she was on his mind even during his mortal ending...he couldn't help but be content with that. Alastor wanted more, though, he wanted to see her one last time...but with each minute, he realized it was becoming more and more impossible. He just wished he could've seen that beautiful face he loved just one last time.

(A/n: let me know if I missed anything about this)
