The dawn rises anew over the city of St. Marcus and the day began for the early risers of this bustling town that, up until now, was a lowly a parish. Still stuck in its old ways of religion and sin tightly coupled together, nothing was really anew about St. Marcus. Hookers still cross the same street as holy men and children heading eagerly, one after the other to school for the day. Among those children would be Miriam, playing traffic guard for the little preschoolers in front of her while watching her back for the bullies that plagued her every day. Little did this emerging city know, today was the beginning of a sequence of events that will change everything it ever knew about its existence, and Miss Miriam was the catalyst to make that happen.

Resurrect Thy Heart (Supernatural-Romance)
Rank #815 in Romance, February 14, 2017 ---- Marcus chose to stay away from her, standing in the mattress with his hand tightly gripping the wooden beam. The whole time Ysabelle was in the washroom, his heart continuously drummed a wild beat. God, the burn in his loins was still there, increasing, and it was unceasing. Back from the time in the cave when they almost made love, Marcus went almost insane when he realized that the illusion of Ysabelle disappeared so suddenly. He was already burning at that time, ready to direct all his ardor to her. He had his mouth wrapped up on her nipple and his fingers were already snaking down her folds, but then she just vanished... just vanished, and damn, because of that, it had kept him on edge in this God-forsaken prison. Even until now. 'So this is what it feels like to want a woman,' his thoughts remarked without any guilt. He turned to look at the mocking curtain and released a deep sigh. He finally concluded one thing to himself and that was he'll play the demon's game once again. He'll allow himself to yield on the temptation. ~ H ~ It was said that a miracle happened centuries ago, about a man's daughter brought back to life by the chosen prophet. It was written in the Bible and told by many tongues throughout the passing of time. One would have to ask though, is it really true? ~ H ~ The Rogratiatto Family, rumored to be an extremist believer of the Priory of Sion, sought out the help of the Vatican Conclave to stop a recent demon possession. Famous exorcist priest, Father Marcus Thayne, was called out by the Holy Pope, Pope Francis, to do the job. Once there, not only was he struggling with the demon he was supposed to exorcise, but he was also battling himself after seeing a mysterious woman showing signs of an immortal attraction with him...
