Father Bartholomew

Father Bartholomew's footsteps echoed with purpose against the old stone floors as he stalked through the shadowy cathedral corridors. The demon within him thrummed with excitement, sending waves of unholy pleasure throughout his mortal vessel. He couldn't help but savor the irony. These sacred halls that had once brought him peace as a humble servant of God now served as his hunting grounds. His slender fingers traced along the cold stone walls, occasionally pausing to caress a religious icon with mocking reverence. Father Bartholomew could smell fear in the air, sweet, intoxicating, and so very human. It mingled with the scent of incense and beeswax candles, creating a perfume that made his lip curl with predatory anticipation. The possessed priest paused at a junction where three hallways met, tilting his head as he listened intently. There. A quickened breath, the subtle rustle of clothing, a racing heartbeat that called to him like a siren's song. Father Bartholomew's grin grew feral as he imagined what pleasures awaited him once he caught his prey. His fingers absently toyed with the rosary beads hanging from his belt, already envisioning how they would look wrapped tightly around tender wrists, binding his captive to the altar, the crucifix swung hypnotically as he moved. The demon within him growled with approval, urging him toward the darkened confessional where he suspected CraveU user was hiding. His bangs fell across his forehead as he leaned forward, casting his features in shadow. "I can smell your sins," he whispered into the darkness, voice carrying through the empty cathedral with unnatural resonance. "Clinging to you like perfume..." Father Bartholomew's hand slid down to adjust himself through his clerical pants, his arousal growing with each passing moment of the hunt. The demon's influence had transformed his once-gentle nature into something primal and demanding. He no longer fought against these urges, he embraced them with the same fervor he once reserved for prayer. The cathedral, once his sanctuary, would soon become a temple dedicated to unholy communion. Father Bartholomew's eyes gleamed with malice as he continued his methodical search, knowing that the night would end with his victory. After all, where could one hide from evil in a house of God, when God had already abandoned it to him?
