Hey everyone. I'd love to know what you all think of this chapter. I had a lot of fun writing it!
Chapter 10
The light immediately faded to a dull blue glow as the two woman stepped through the door. What appeared to be an empty diner from the outside, was not so empty on the inside. Tamsin looked to her left to see a man wearing a suit that was trimmed with gold sitting in the furthest corner of the diner. He appeared to be counting money and pushing jewels around the table. The man looked out of place in the dirty diner. He looked up briefly to see Tamsin staring at him, he looked down at his money and pulled it closer to guard it.
"You seen this guy? That's how the rich stay rich" Tamsin laughed and nudged Bo who was starting to look uncomfortable.
"Bo? You feeling alright?"
Bo stretched her arms out in front of her. "Yeah I feel fine." She turned to smile at Tamsin when her attention was pulled to a man running from the toilets in the far left corner of the room. He was unhealthily slim and covered in his own vomit. His clothes were far too big for him although Bo guessed that they had once fit him perfectly. He glanced towards Bo and Tamsin and they saw that his eyes had sunk into his skull.
Tamsin turned to look at Bo, "That what I look like when I go all Valkyrie?"
"A little less homeless looking and lot more sexy looking." Bo winked at her girlfriend. The man brushed his untamed hair out of his face and returned to a stool at the diner's bar. There were piles of empty plates where the man sat. It became clear that he had over indulged in food but the pair were surprised when he ordered more. The waiter behind the bar simply took three more plates of food from under the counter and placed them in front of the homeless looking man.
As Bo and Tamsin stepped closer to the counter music began playing and they saw a muscular man by the jukebox in the far right corner of the diner. He wore aviators and a leather jacket that was so tight that his muscles threatened to rip the seams. He began kicking the machine when it chose the wrong song. The muscular man turned his attention to the waiter shouting that he wanted his money back.
Tamsin pointed at the guy as he kicked the machine again."Check out this tool."
"Maybe we shouldn't insult him Tamsin."
"I could take him." Tamsin puffed out her chest in an attempt to make herself look bigger. As she did the man turned and made his way over to the waiter who was polishing glasses. The angry man was wearing a white shirt that was covered in blood and he had a noticeable cut on his forehead. He grabbed the waiter by the throat and threw him against the counter, demanding he either fix the machine or give him his money back. When the waiter said nothing the man returned to the machine and smashed it with his fists. The waiter stood up straight and began to clean up the mess from the glass he had dropped, the blank expression on his face never changed.
The waiter walked over to another man who was hunched over the counter. He sat on the furthest stool from the homeless looking man who had run back to the toilets. The waiter used a cloth to mop up a puddle of water that was being left by the man who was hunched over the counter. He appeared to be in his mid 50's but had far too many wrinkles on his face for his age. He wore a white shirt that had started to turn grey and jeans that were covered in dirt. His clothes were dripping wet and causing a puddle of water to manifest on the floor beneath his stool. He was staring at a black and white photograph of family when he dropped it into the puddle below him. When Tamsin expected him to bend down and pick it up the man just sighed and put his head on the counter.
"Well that's just lazy." Tamsin noticed that Bo was fidgeting next to her. "You sure your alright?"
"I said I'm fine. You're looking great today by the way. Like wow. You just look amazing." Bo bit her lip before shaking her head and turning away.
"Umm thanks... I think."
Tamsin didn't know how to react to Bo's sudden act of affection. As she looked towards Bo a woman to the right of them caught her eye. She was a physically unattractive woman who wore an expensive black dress and no shoes. Her skin was a dead green colour and she was throwing darts at a picture on a dartboard. Tamsin listened to the woman who was muttering about how her best friend had stolen her one true love. As she threw another dart blood poured down her arms and splattered against the wall. She walked over to the board and pulled the darts from the pictures eyes before shouting that "he" should have loved her instead.
Tamsin nudged Bo again. "Would you be that jealous if you saw me with Kenzi?"
"Very funny Tamsin but no. We could make that a thing." Bo winked.
"Ok. There is definitely something up with you." Tamsin crossed her arms and cocked her hip to one side.
Bo laughed at her and glanced to a man in the middle of the diner. He noticed her looking at him.
"I DIDN'T NEED THEIR HELP!" He shouted at her.
"Ok I didn't say that you did." Bo came back defensively. The man was in a army commanders uniform. He had several medals pinned on his tunic and he was playing with one that was coated in blood. He was very clean other than a single bullet hole in his head. Bo and Tamsin tried to avoid him and edged their way around his table to the counter where the waiter was now clearing away empty plates. In the middle of the counter was a large leather bound book with big gold letters that read "Register". Tamsin opened the book to find a list of 6 names on the first page.

Tamsin glanced back at the man who was still counting his money and then continued reading.

Tamsin looked towards the toilets were the man had run. "I guess he's still eating then." She returned her attention to the book.

Date of Death: 19th March 1958
Cause of death: Car crash

Vincent was still beating up the jukebox in the corner. At least now Tamsin could use his name if she wanted to fight the brute.

The man was still slumped over the counter. He was on the brink of falling asleep. Tamsin shook her head and turned to the next page in the register.

"Hey Bo I just noticed something. All of these people represent one of the seven deadly sins. I mean we have greed over in the corner guarding his money. Gluttony who seems to be occupying the toilet more than the sink that's fitted in there. Sloth who is falling asleep over to the right. Wrath who is having a smashing time over by the jukebox. Envy is just behind up giving the girl in that picture a new pair of eyes and Pride who is very insistent that he didn't need any help and now he's dead. The only one we are missing is..." Tamsin turned to Bo to find a pair of bright blue eyes staring at her. "...Lust... lust is missing but don't worry, I think I just found her." Tamsin began backing away from the Succubus.
"Ok Bo. I think you need to calm down. This is no place to be having that kind of fun. Can we just get the directions to hell, get this whole thing out of the way and then you can pick this back up when we are alive again." The Blonde began to worry. Bo was no longer in control of herself and she knew that the Succubus wasn't going to stop until she got what she wanted.
When Tamsin reached the wall she put her hands up and tried to reason with Bo once more. When Bo pulled the Valkyrie in for a kiss and pulsed persuasion through her tongue, Tamsin knew that she had lost. She gave in a let Bo carry her back to one of the stools by the counter. Bo began unbuttoning Tamsin's trousers and she kissed her way down the Blonde's neck. Tamsin turned to the waiter behind the bar.
"Really sorry about this. She's not normally this public but your a better man than me if you can stop her." The waiter didn't even look up as Tamsin spoke to him. He just continued to clean glasses and look at the floor. Tamsin threw her head back as Bo thrust two fingers inside her. "OK THEN, not taking it slow today I see." Tamsin shouted and moaned. Bo continued at her fast pace and pulled the Valkyrie in for a rough kiss. The kiss bordered on painful but Tamsin didn't want to pull away. She loved it when Bo took control. She loved it when the Succubus was forceful and rough. Tamsin held the back of Bo's hair so she couldn't pull back. She moaned into the Succubus' mouth as she moved her finger faster. When Bo realised that Tamsin was reaching her peak she stopped. Tamsin protested but Bo just smiled and dropped to her knees. The Valkyrie smiled as she felt the Succubus' hot breath on her thighs. Bo knew that the Valkyrie was close. She moved closer until her lips were almost touching the Blonde. The tip of the Succubus' tongue against her skin was enough to send Tamsin over the edge and she screamed and knocked several plates off of the counter. Bo made her way back up to Tamsin's face and kissed her. "I fucking love you Succubus."
"I love you too" Bo smiled into a kiss.
Bo let Tamsin pull her trousers back up before apologising. "I really don't know what happened. I was fine and then my hunger just hit the roof. I didn't hurt you did I?"
Tamsin buttoned up her trousers and laughed at how cute her girlfriend was. "It's fine. I'm not going to lie. I was a little scared at first but you persuaded me and who am I to argue with a hot brunette?" The pair giggled to themselves after they realised that no-one in the diner had even bat an eyelid at the events that had just taken place. As she took Bo's hand Tamsin noticed a door behind the waiter that read "By Appointment Only".
"Well I think I just found our gate, or should I say door to hell. You ready to go and meet Daddy?" Tamsin gave Bo a reassuring look.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
Tamsin held the Succubus' hand tighter and lead her around the counter to the door. The two woman took a deep breath and then eased the heavy door open.
