“ I know I told you to keep your distance, but now I need you to stay close and keep the light from going out. Now let’s go. “ The priest would take the light and only gave a nod at her request. Genevieve would lead the way down a long corridor lit by dim flames, she was lucky she brought her own light as it helped so much better than whatever they had down here. Why the hell did they need to have it so dim if people came down here to visit? She didn’t know the answers and she didn’t have time to dwell on it before they ran into their first ghost. It was a small child that looked no older than five years old. The ghost was a small girl that looked malnourished but had beautiful curly hair and a beautiful dress. Even with its ghostly appearance, she could see this child was very beautiful. When the ghost noticed the two it let out a ghostly wail. It wasn’t one of malice but one of sadness and when Genevieve heard it she could feel the tears in her own eyes swell up. This ghost needed help it did not want to fight and once she realized that the wailing stopped. The ghost skipped away and Genevieve quickly followed the little girl. As the two followed they learned that getting too close caused the ghost to vanish so they kept a steady distance away. It didn’t take long for Genevieve to figure out that the ghost probably wanted them to complete something to help her move along and soon they came to a stop at a part of the catacombs where the girl’s body was buried. It was so deep that even the priest made note of how far in they were and that this part of the catacombs was hardly ever visited anymore.

The two old ghosts came right up to Genevieve, she could feel the warmth from them and soon they began to speak in unison. “ Hey, my brother thinks he can beat me in a game of chess. I know I can beat him. We need to settle this but being a ghost makes it hard to get a chess game going...We might have scared off a few people but we really need help.” Genevieve was more or less surprised at how tame these ghost requests were but she wasn’t about to complain. Sending the priest away to get a chess set for the two ghosts she stayed with them and found out they were always competing with each other which led to their deaths. Once the priest came back with the chessboard the ghost took over their bodies in order to play a game, something Asmodeus immediately realized and instantly hated. The ghost was scared of Asmodeus and so they took turns using the priest’s body for their last game which ended in a stalemate. They played many games which took hours each time the game ended in a stalemate and it looked like they were just evenly matched. It was at this point that Genevieve got an idea. She realized that really they just wanted one of them to win and so she pulled out a coin. This would define a clear winner no matter what, it would be based on luck and nothing more. Yes, it was the cheap way out but if they two kept going like this they would never leave. One brother called heads and the other called tails and when she flipped the coin it actually landed in a way that made it stand upright on it’s side. The two brothers laughed at this turn of events and decided to let it go. Another bright flash of light and more of the priest’s prayers were enough to call it a day. She was paid and sent on her way for a job well done
