"Goodnight Al"

Mimzie said happily to Alastor who held open the door of the cab for her.

"Goodnight my dear"

He said smoothly as he closed the door behind her. Alastor took a step back as he watched the cab drive off. He took in a deep breath, as he sucked in the cold air of the night. Alastor then began his walk towards his home until he heard a scream coming from the alley. He quickly ran towards the alley and peaked around the corner and stumbled upon a man holding a knife to a women who was trapped between the man and a brick wall.

"Just hand over the purse lady and nobody gets hurt"

The man said raising his hand towards the women who backed away as she clutch her purse tight to her chest.

"Please no"

She begged as she slid to the ground as she stared up at the man who was now hovering over her.

"Lady, I'm not gonna ask again..."

The man was cut off as he felt his neck get slit. He grabbed hold of his neck as blood began gushing out, he no longer was able to speak as he fell to his knees and fell down to the ground in his pool of blood. Alastor quickly cleaned his knife before putting it away in his back pocket. The women fearfully watched the man bleed out before looking up to see a man holding out his hand to her.

"Come now, you're safe"

He said softly. The women nodded as her eyes went back to the man who held the knife towards her.

"Y-you killed him"

She said quietly before turning around to face her hero. She grabbed hold of his hand as he brought her into a hug for comfort.

"It was either you or him"

He answered as he pulled away from the hug to get a good look at her for to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"My name is Alastor miss um...darling I didn't catch your name"

He said with a small grin.

"Teresa"

She said softly.

"Teresa, are you hurt?"

He asked.

"I just feel a little light headed..."

She said as she felt the world began spinning around her. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head before collapsing to the ground. Alastor quickly catches her bridal style before she hits the ground. He looked at her as he let out a soft sigh.

'You have got to be joking. Now what do I do with her'

He thought as he carried her out of the alley and into the street lights. Alastor looked down at the women in his arms.

'She is quite lovely'

He thought once more before he began to walk home.

**Alastor's Home**

Alastor soon arrived to his home, he skillfully unlocked his door while holding Teresa in his arms. He then entered his home and kick the door behind him as he slowly ascended up the stairs. He went passed his bedroom and headed towards his guest room. He gently placed Teresa on the bed, he quietly removed her shoes and covered her with a blanket.

**Morning**

Teresa let out a yawn before fluttering her eyes open. She slightly frowned as she stared up at the ceiling.

'Funny, this doesn't look like my ceiling'

She thought with a frown before immediately sitting up. She looked around the room.

'T-this isn't my room, was everything before just a dream?'

She thought before realizing her hero from last night rescued her.

'He must have brought me to his home'

She thought before a smile appeared on her face.

"Alastor....the least I can do is make him breakfast by rescuing me"

She said to herself as she uncovered herself and quietly got out of bed, before placing her shoes back on. She made her way out of the room and down the flight of stairs. Teresa found herself in the kitchen and began to look around to figure out what to make for her hero. She walked to the pantry and opened it before gasping in shock. A dead man was seen sitting on a chair with his hands tied behind his back and blood spilling out from his guts. Teresa slowly took a step back before a voice startled her.

"I really wish you didn't see that"

Said the voice. Teresa snapped her head and looked to see Alastor holding an axe.

"Oh my God, you're a murderer. You're the New Orleans serial killer that has been on the loose for months. That's why you didn't hesitate to kill that man"

She said quietly. Alastor scoffs with a smile before fixing up his glasses.

"Now now my dear, you shouldn't have been snooping around in my home. Now I can't let you go"

"Please, I-I won't say anything"

She said nervously.

"Exactly because you're not going anywhere"

He said taking a step towards Teresa but instead Teresa took a step back until her back hit the counter.

"My husband is going to find out I'm missing, you'll have to let me go"

"I'm afraid I can't do that my dear, you've seen too much"

"B-but I won't say anything"

"And I'll make sure that you don't"

"My husband is going to be worried, at least let me give him a call"

She said trying to convince the man who was slightly swaying the axe in his arm.

"I'm sorry my dear, but I don't let my victims live for too long"

"Please, you have my word"

"And your word means nothing to me"

He said quietly. Teresa felt tears begin to build up.

"Are you going to kill me?"

She asked as the tears fell from her eyes.

"Yes"

He answered with no hesitation. Teresa swallows the lump in her throat.

"But I don't want to die"

She cried. Alastor made his way to her and gently cupped her cheek.

"Curiosity is what killed the cat"

He said softly. Teresa moved her head away from his hand.

"You don't have to do this..."

"I'm afraid I have no choice"

He said as he grabbed hold of her neck.
