12 - Town's New Celebrity

ADA SAT TUNING HER GUITAR in the middle of the hallway of their studio. Mayhem was about to record their first full album called 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas." Of course, with Pelle being out of the picture now they had to hire a new vocalist by the name of Attila Csihar, who had a similar sound to Pelle. But in her heart the dead boy was irreplaceable.

"This is it," said Varg, who was drawing something in the far corner of the corridor. "The biggest cathedral in Norway." He showed the group a photo of a gorgeous cathedral. "We'll have it on the album cover." Varg smiled.

Attila who was halfway through eating a burger looked up at him, "Nice."

"It's from the eleven hundreds." Pointed out Øystein, who was wearing a beige turtleneck sweater.

Continuing from what Øystein said, Varg added, "And now in 1993 we're gonna blow it up." He smirked.

"Wha-? Blow it up?" questioned Attilla, lifting his head up from the burger.

As much as Ada enjoyed burning down the church, the cathedral seemed like too much. Her moral compass was still in the grey, so she didn't know where she stood with the whole 'commiting-evil-acts-for-the-sake-of-the-music' thing.

Then their producer walked in, "Are you guys ready?" he asked and began walking to the studio.

Everyone stood up and headed into the recording room. Ada grabbed her guitar by the neck and began walking when she was stopped by Øystein. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her into a rather forceful kiss before letting her go.

Smiling and blushing, she averted eye contact for a second before slipping into the recording room. She overheard Varg and Øystein discussing something but she didn't bother to eavesdrop, after all, they had an album to work on.

Eventually after waiting for what seemed like forever the two boys finally walked into the room, meaning they could start.

"1, 2, 3, 4..." Hellhammer beat this drumsticks and everyone began playing. Ada played the guitar alongside Øystein perfectly, banging her head to the fast-paced rhythm. She noticed Øystein glaring at Varg the entire time, why, she wasn't sure, but she could assume it was because Varg was pressuring Øystein into doing something that would jeopardise their already bad position with the authorities. Typical Varg behaviour, pressuring people into doing things they don't want to do. Thought Ada, remembering that day in Helvete's den when he tried to get her to partake in a foursome with Ann-Marit, himself and Øystein.

After the day at the studio, playing music for 6 continuous hours, Ada and Øystein were exhausted and decided to rest and head home.

Wrapped up in a big blanket the two watched a horror movie while cuddled up against one another.

They watched some poor guy get torn apart by some alien, causing Ada to snort.

"Wha- Is that supposed to be his back or...or his stomach?" She commented, pressing herself into Øystein.

The boy laughed, "I think that's his ass."

"He got stabbed in the ass." He continued, making Ada laugh out loud.

She was enjoying this a lot. She never thought that she'd end up with Øystein in their own apartment, watching movies together after a successful day in the studio. Ada would have enjoyed it more if the phone didn't ring. Groaning she grabbed his arms, begging him to stay with her on the couch.

"Alright, asshole." He chuckled before ripping himself away from her and walking into the kitchen. With a pout, Ada demonstratively crossed her arms and continued watching the movie without him.
