Turning Saints To Sinners

Chapter 3: Night Of The Living Dead

Sabrina was babbling on about her friend Susie at the table as they ate breakfast. Zelda hid behind her news paper, clearly disinterested in the topic. Hilda respectfully listened to Sabrina's story as she washed the dishes.

"So, I was wondering if she could postpone my baptism?" Now this caught Zelda's attention.

"Postpone your baptism? Have you lost your mind?" Zelda slammed her newspaper down onto the kitchen table, making Ambrose jump. "Sabrina, you will be baptized under a blood moon, like your father was, like all the Spellmans before us were."

Sabrina sighed, "Fine." Getting up, Sabrina stormed out of the kitchen, collecting her bag and heading to school.

"Postpone her baptism!" Zelda laughed, "I don't think so."

Zelda sat at the kitchen table, reading when the phone rang.
Getting up, Zelda answered the phone.

"Auntie Zee, can Roz, Susie, Harvey and I go to the movies tonight?" Zelda thought for a moment and right when she was about to answer, Sabrina spoke again, "Can you come with us? Apparently you have to be 17 and older to see this movie without an adult." Zelda huffed.

"Fine."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Zelda hung up the phone and leaned against the counter. The things I do for this child.

Zelda walked down the stairs and into the living room, where Sabrina and Harvey were sitting.

"So what movie are we seeing?"

"Night of the living dead." At least it is horror. Zelda sighed and grabbed her coat.

"Where is Roz and Susie?" She asked as Sabrina and Harvey grabbed their coats.

"We are meeting them there." Zelda nodded and they made their way to the car.

Pulling up to the theater, Zelda sighed heavily once she saw the two other mortals standing, waiting for Sabrina and Harvey. The two got out of the car and ran towards the two girls. Zelda stepped out of the car and walked with them to get their tickets. The four beelined to their seats, while Zelda went to go to the washroom.
Finishing up into the bathroom, Zelda went to get some popcorn. One of the few things Zelda enjoyed back in her day, was coming to the movies with her brothers and sister.
Paying for popcorn, Zelda went to turn to go inside but caught sight of a familiar brunette.
Zelda sighed and walked towards the woman.

"Funny seeing you here." Mary's eyes shot up and a wide smile appeared across her face.

"Zelda! I had no clue you were planning on coming to see Night of the living dead or I would have asked you to come with me." Zelda raised her brows in shock but kept a smile on her face.

"Well I wasn't planning on coming but Sabrina insisted. Walk with me?" Mary nodded and they walked towards the group of teenagers. Zelda sat directly behind them, making sure they weren't causing any trouble. Mary sat beside her, oddly comforting the red head. They both held medium sized bags of popcorn in their laps and a bottle of water in their hands. Zelda put up the arm rest, feeling uncomfortable with how small the seats were.
Zelda turned to the woman beside her, who smiled in return. Turning back to the screen, Zelda sighed in contentment.

They were a half hour into the movie, and Zelda was already starting to get bored. The zombies were quite slow and didn't do much. Dozing off, Zelda failed to see the zombie jump out at the screen, making the woman jump into the teacher. Zelda latched onto Mary's arm, blinking rapidly. Mary chuckled and patted Zelda's hand.
