I remember the day was as hot as a kitchen that was making stew in a dry summers day, which said a lot considering that it was already noon and the heat only seemed to get stronger. We arrived at a bar in a bad side of town one which in any normal circumstance we would have completely avoided.
However, this wasn't a normal circumstance, we wanted to see, no experience the paranormal. So when we heard drummers about a team of experts that had performed wonders, well we just had to meet the pair.
The stories we had heard from time to time could only be compared to miracles. A woman who swore she was constantly tormented by the devil, the moment the sunset, claimed that the pair had captured the creature imprisoned it inside a book, she had in her attic. The book itself was wrapped by a heavy set of chains, that were blessed and for just an added bit more protection, she had placed the book inside an iron chess.
When we asked her if we could see the book, the elderly women absolutely refused, saying she didn't want to risk releasing the devil
Our journey led us into the sewer system, where the undesired people of the city lived in. It was from them that we heard about in unseen battle that had occurred between the pair and what could only be called vampires. According to the homeless, the fight lasted two straight days and only ended when every single vampire was decapitated and burned where they had fallen.
Sure enough, we found several strange skeletons with oversized fangs and littering the sewers, all around them were the signs of a battle. But the strangest thing of it all were the many runes we found that kept the skeletons inside the sewers. It was possible to lift a single bone, for even the smallest fragment weighed a ton and a half.
Our last clue/story or whatever you may call it, was when we followed a trail of strange writings that littered the city streets, hundreds of runs that somehow made it almost impossible for our camera to work properly. Now that I look back, I now realize that those very runes were keeping the many evils away that dwelled within they city, away from the unsuspecting people.
Still, as we entered the bar we found ourselves greeted by the cool air and the darkness of the building that compare to the hot bright day outside was ironically warmly welcomed by us. There sitting at the stage was a man wearing a black suit and a long trenchcoat and a young girl wearing a white nun's clothing about to sing.
The moment the two sang together, it was in a way that seemed to mix their voices in a single persons and almost seed hypnotic, we quickly took our seats and ordered a bucket of beer and we simply passed the day drinking and listening to the pair sing, like the many drunks that passed their days there.
Had we paid any attention to our surroundings, we would have noticed that the bartender along with several men were now keeping their eyes on us, had we been just a little bit more aware we would have noticed that the women that were seated in the nearby tables each held a gun on their lap, as if waiting for a signal for them to kill us all.
Finally, when the lair stopped singing I went to ask the bartender if he knew of the pair of exorcist that seemed to be making a name for themselves and as a topical bartender did, the man simply said he had never heard of them. When he asked what I wanted the lair for, I knew the man knew who exactly the pair were and he was only acting as a guard dog for the two.
When J told him my reason, he just looked at me like if he was looking at a fool and proceeded to point at the direction of the man and the young girl, that had been singing earlier.
Now I wish he had never directed me towards the two, in moments of weakness, I wonder if my life would have turned out differently had he simply ignored my foolish request.
