Zelda woke uneasily on this cold, damp morning. The weather miserable and depressing. She slowly climbed out of bed and put on her black, silk robe. The day she had ahead of her was not going to be easy.

Zelda's point of view...

My wardrobe is dustier than Hilda's herb cupboard. It's been a while since I wore something other than the practical dress I have several of. My red and black lace pencil dress suits the occasion I suppose.

*She puts on the dress and matches it with a red lip and red shoes.*

I have never felt such dread and nerves in my life. I consider my self a serious and confident person though today that has changed. It's been over six decades since I last saw Faustus Blackwood. He is a hunk. Never mind I take that back, since he did have a Shirley Jackson phase. What was he thinking when he was with her? She's repulsive.

- there's a knock at the door -

*takes a deep breath* here we go. *opens the door and sighs* sabrina! It's your mortal friends they're waiting for you. SABRINA!

Sabrina: ok ok im coming. *nudges zelda* remember you can't call them mortals when they're standing right in front of you.

Zelda: *clears her throat* right well you had best be off before your late for school. *closes the door* For Satan's sake why can't she just go to the Academy and sign the book of the beast and do as Edward and Diana please. When will she learn that we can't always get what we wa...

- there's another knock at the door -

For the love of lucifer! I can't have a minute to myself in this Satan damned house hold. I just need some time, some sort of tropical get away or somethi.......

- Faustus is stood in front of Zelda -

Oh, Faustus..
I apologise, I have a lot going on today. *clears her throat* do come in. I'll tell Hilda to brew you some tea if you'd like.

Faustus: Blessed morning sister Zelda. I'd love some of Hilda's marvellous tea. What's troubling you? Hold that thought. I need to speak with you privately. Anywhere we can go that's less *looks at ambrose and hilda* crowded?

Zelda: Yes of course. *nods towards her bedroom and they walk in* welcome to my humble abode. It's messy and all but that's Hilda's doing. What is it you want to speak to me about? Goodness, it's been so long since we last spoke.

Faustus: sister Zelda I don't know how to tell you this but...

Zelda: But What Faustus?

Faustus: I seem to believe that I'm still in love with you.

Zelda: For Satan's sake Faustus did sister Jackson put you up to this? Absolutely pathetic. It's been decades.

Faustus: honestly Zelda I.....

Faustus leant in towards Zelda. She tried to move away from him but his beautiful eyes met hers and she was frozen in time. She hadn't realised how much she had missed him. She craved the touch of his lips pressing against hers. She was satisfied. Faustus gently connected his lips with Zelda's. Slowly, the pair stood up, their lips not separating. Faustus lifted Zelda, her legs wrapping around his waist. She pulled away gently.

Zelda: Hold on..Why now?

Faustus: I couldn't wait any longer.

Zelda kissed him again and though she was surprised he returned the kiss, she unraveled her legs from his waist and pulled away.

Zelda: Go home Faustus. I know your only here out of self pity. You know where I am if you need me for something that's actually important.

*She fixed her hair then opened the door leading Faustus out of the bedroom and towards the front door. *

Hilda: Leaving so soon?

Zelda: Faustus has a meeting to attend. He can't be late.

- Zelda's point of view -

How peculiar. Another day goes by so soon. Tomorrow, Lilith arrives in Greendale. Wish me luck.
