Thana watches with a wide humored smile as Alex gets taken away by two agents and forcefully shoved into the back of their car, "ta tah!" Thana giggles as she watches the car sped away before turning to the house, her smile now dropping and her face deadly.
Breezing through the open window, she passes the high school teacher as she shivers and turns to look over her shoulder, confused. "Wow, you absolutely reek of guilt, it's almost sad," The redhead says, tilting her head to the side.
Valarie moves to a closet door, opens it, and click on an overhead light. Kneeling down, she tugs on a heavy box and begins to check the contents, her expression warms and saddens all at the same time as if recalling a memory "Mom's favorite"
She slides a vinyl record album out of the sleeve and moves to the turntable on the counter. She places the record on the stereo and sets the needle on the album, Thana glances over her shoulder and lets out a snort at the record about to play 'JOHN DENVER.'
"This couldn't be any more perfect if I tried" The demonic girl glanced around the house in wonder, "It's like a dream in here," she grinned, looking at all the possible deaths in this one home.
He was born in the summer of his
twenty-seventh year...
Seeming pleased with the memories the music was bringing, Valarie moves off with a soft smile, she removes the chrome teapot from the stove and transfers it to the sink filling it with water.
As she wipes the pot with a blue checked hand towel Thana moves behind her causing a shadow to show in the side of the teapot, Valarie turns as she looks about the room only to find she is alone; or so she thinks.
Unsettled, the teacher absently tosses the towel on the counter the edge which, catches a knife blade held in the cutlery block. "Oh come on, you're making this way too easy," Thana pouts, almost stomping her foot.
Ms. Lewton turns on the stove gas on and adjusts it "Time to play" The redhead smirks blowing out the flame, Valarie pauses her nerves on edge as her eyes cautiously move about the room but still finds nothing.
"Something out there?" Thana teases as she whispers into the high school teacher's ear, but the woman could hear no sound as she grabs a pack of nearby matches and strikes one.
He left yesterday behind him
You might say he's born again...
The flames re-ignites and the teapot water starts to boil as Thana gives the woman a once over; her aura is only getting darker, which means she'll soon be back on the path written for her.
When he first came to the mountains,
his life was far away...
Thana sits on the counter as the teapot begins to whistle, Valarie drops a teabag inside her mug and then pours the steaming hot water before she picks up the cup, raising it toward her lips.
She pauses, her expression turning tragic, and she spins, throwing out the hot contents before placing the mug down.
Thana claps her hands and kicks her legs, laughing at the sight, "Oh man, I forgot how sensitive you humans can be."
The cup displays the logo of the Mt. Abraham Fighting Colonials, Valarie trembles as she takes a deep breath trying to get a hold of herself "You gotta stop this! Stop this! It's just a stupid mug".
Taking another breath, she composes herself, "You're outta here. Pretty soon... you'll be gone," Thana grins at the woman's words. "You don't even know how right you are lady."
Opening the refrigerator freezer, the teacher grabs some ice and a bottle of pure Polish Vodka then deliberately turns back toward the same mug, watching Valarie throw in the ice cubes and pours the cold alcohol in the hot cup Thana clicks her fingers, and a crack appears in the mug.
The woman picks it up oblivious to the crack as she moves off toward the living room, leaving a trail of alcohol with Thana stalking behind her.
She knows she could have caused her death many times by now, but sometimes the fun is in the chase, and Thana just loves to be thorough, especially with the ones who got away.
Valarie leans over her desk and looks behind her desktop computer monitor as she pauses to swig from her cup of vodka, which drips from the crack Thana put in her mug.
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain
High...
The teacher sets the mug out of the way on the back edge of her desk as the remaining vodka oozes from the crack, pools, then drips off the side of the desk.
I've seen it rainin' fire from the
sky...
Grabbing a piece of bubble wrap, Valarie begins to wrap all of her ornaments and placing it in her moving box before she hears a pop and sizzle.
Standing up slowly, she looks at her computer monitor that is now smoking.
"Now, I'm not great at human technology, but are you sure it's supposed to do that?" The Demon girl questions innocently as Valarie leans in closer to the monitor before Thana clicks her fingers again.
The monitor suddenly explodes as a large jagged shard from the monitor flies into her throat "ooh, have you tried turning it off and on again?" Thana asks as blood squirts from the woman's neck onto the floor.
Rocky Mountain High/ Colorad-oh.
Her stunned expression is sickeningly numb from shock "Tis, but a scratch" Thana quotes as the human reaches up to reflexively pull the glass from her throat, creating a flood of spurting blood "not sure you're supposed to do that but I'm Death what do I know."
Valarie drops the glass and quickly stumbles toward the kitchen, blindly banging the turntable as she passes. The needle skips and settles back at the start of 'Rocky Mountain High.'
"Oh, I love this song. All together now. He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year," Thana sang obnoxiously as she followed Valarie into the kitchen.
Clicking her fingers again, the computer exploded once more only this time the sparks ignited the trickling stream of vodka, flames ride the small trickle of vodka back toward the kitchen.
Valerie desperately presses her hand to her throat as she gurgles and chokes on the blood from the wound. She leans over the now red sink as the flaming stream shoots up the stove, lighting the burners.
Behind the woman the stove erupts in flames catching onto the open vodka bottle causing a fireball which blew the to women onto her back, her open neck wound continues to bleed as blood pools on the floor.
In shock and moving on pure survival instincts, she reaches up towards the hand towel she had used earlier as it dangles over the edge of the countertop. Her hand grabs and pulls it.
"Wow, you do not give up easily do you," Thana says in surprise as the draped edge of the towel pulls over the cutlery block causing the knives to spill out, entangled with the hand towel and the biggest one lands in the middle of her chest making her scream out in pain.
"Ms. Lewton!" Thana glanced up, surprised to see Alex back. "Goody, this was just starting to get pathetically sad" Alex rushes across the threshold to see his teacher lay on the floor covered in blood with a purely horrified expression.
"Ms. Lewton," The boy whispers in pity as Thana climbs onto the counter to see how he tries to fix this. "All right, just stay still, OK?" Alex says as he quickly kneels next to her.
She looks at him, in shock, her eyes pleading. Alex gathers his courage, places his hand on the handle of the largest blade just as Thana shows herself. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," she giggles, waving her fingers at the terrified teacher.
"Thana, don't!" Alex pleads as he's about to remove the knife "no escapes. I am inevitable," Thana recites as she clicks her fingers, making the stove gas line erupt, creating a small explosion.
The cutlery block is knocked off of the counter, and the block lands directly on the butcher knife handle, driving the blade further into Ms. Lewton's body and knocks Alex back into the cabinets.
"Oh god, Ms. Lewton," Alex cries out as he pushes the chair away from the teacher and grabs the knife pulling it out, but the woman is already gone, her eyes open wide and lifeless.
Alex pauses with guilt as he looks at the knife in his hand before turning to Thana when she saunters up to him and leans in closer before whispering "Run" Alex drops the blade to the floor and races from the house.
