A Close Encounter Two - Burning Exorcists

Part Five - Applications

Singe was lounging on her couch. The day after the spa day had been uneventful so far, which was exactly what Singe wanted. She was in the middle of tuning her guitar when there was a knock on the door.

Singe set her guitar down in its stand before answering the door. Dolores was standing there holding a stack of papers.

"Oh, hey, Dolores. What brings you here today?"

"Ugh... Duties. I doubt you'll want to, but I have to hand out these application forms. For joining the Heavenly Armed Forces."

"Yeah I'm not becoming an Exorcist," Singe didn't even give it a second thought.

"I still have to give you one. Do with it whatever you want," Dolores says as she hands one of the forms to Singe, "See ya around."

Dolores walked away with more of a smile than Singe thought was necessary, but Exorcists are always smiling. It reminded her of Alastor, and it always set her on edge.

Singe set the application form on the kitchen counter. Something inside her compelled her to keep it, for whatever reason.

"She has the form?"

"Yes. I gave it to her earlier today. And the effects of yesterday haven't worn off yet."

"Good. We'll be able to see what a Hellborn like her can really do."

"Won't her parents and that traitor be a problem?"

"Not after a year under your command. Work your magic, Commander"
