Nothing much. For now.

"Th-thank you very much..." Penny took one of the fresh, oven-warm cookies, Ellie already munching on the first bite. She'd always been more susceptible to the worldly vices. "Now, I would like to read with you from the Book of Revelation, as it does seem the most fitting for the... current situation."

"Oh, I'd love to! But won't you try my cookies first, dearie? They are... delicious." Linda's smile was still warm and motherly, but there was something else in there, an almost predatory edge.

"They really are! You have to eat at least one, Penny!" Ellie was already on her fourth.

But Penny did have to admit that her friend was right: The cookie was sweet, moist, with just a hint of saltiness, the warmth straight from the oven spreading through her mouth - together with a faint tingling. Maybe there were exotic spices in there? As the two friends began reading from the good book, trying to get Linda to see the error of her ways and repent with the imagery of Revelation, they found themselves sneaking in a cookie or two between verses.

"... and you have to see that this is the work of the Dark Prince himself, this so-called outbreak!" Animatedly gesticulating, Penny's heartfelt pleas were a little undermined by the cookie she waved around. "It is not yet too late to turn away from Lucifer, to come back to God's side!"

"Oh my..." Linda had once again placed one hand on her cheek and tilted her head sideways, the warm smile replaced by a look of concern. Her right hand was placed in her lap. "That sounds terrible... And to be honest, I do think I'll be needing your help..."

"Really?" Penny couldn't help but smile. The first house they'd entered, and already they were about to save a lost soul! "We'd be delighted to!"

"Mhmm~..." Voice suddenly growing husky and sensual, Linda began rubbing her crotch with her right. Penny's stomach dropped as if she was in freefall. "I very much like to hear that~..."

"Bu--no, ma'am, that's not what we--"

"I told you, call me Linda." The smile was back, but it wasn't quite as warm and motherly anymore. No, it was... hungry. "Or better yet... Call me Mommy."

"I... I'd rather not!" Penny squeaked out, pulling her mortified friend from the couch and towards the exit. "Please, we... we just wanted to help you!"

"Then you girls shouldn't run away, dearie! Let Mommy pamper you a little..." Squeezing a distinct bulge under her apron, right in her crotch, Linda advanced towards them like a lioness about to strike. "Maybe even a lot."

Penny had reached the door and felt around for the knob, Ellie's arm in a vice grip as they stared at the suddenly very scary housewife.

"NothankyouLordbewithyou!" Penny blurted out as she finally got the door to open, squeezing out with her friend in tow.

"Aww~..." As the two frightened girls dashed down the garden path, Linda called out after them. "Don't be strangers, you hear? My door's always open~!"

Their mad flight took them down the street, past several villas that might or might not house other deviants that were in league with the devil. As she ran, Penny's mind whirled - how could she have been so stupid? Of course the first house would be inhabited by a servant of the Dark One! They'd seen themselves that the beach was obviously the nexus of all this depravity, and the closer they were, the more likely it was to encounter souls lost beyond the two friends' admittedly meager abilities.

"I... I can't run anymore, Penny!" Ellie finally gasped, slowing down and bringing them both to a stop. "Do you... do you think we lost her?"

"I hope so. I don't think she even followed us..." Panting and leaning down with her hands on her knees, Penny tried to catch her breath, a few strands of hair that had loosened themselves from her bun hanging into her face. "We should be safe..."

"Are you serious?!" Voice trembling, Ellie squatted down on the sidewalk, hiding her face behind her hands. "This city is in the hands of the Devil! We won't be safe anywhere here! Oh Lord, deliver us from this evil..."

"Ellie!" Kneeling down next to her friend, Penny took Ellie's hands in hers, gazing into the frightened woman's eyes. "Ellie. We will be alright, for the Lord is with us. Even if we haven't been able to save Linda, there are souls in this city that can still be saved! And with His hand guiding us, we will find them and guide them back to the light!"

"Y-yes... you're right." Penny's righteous fervor bolstered her friends spirit, and Ellie set her jaw and stood up, pulling Penny up with her. "We will trust in the Almighty and do the work He expects from us. It's just... Linda seemed so nice, and then she was..."

"The Dark One's workings are insidious, indeed. But don't you see? Thanks to the Lord's protection, we have come out unscathed! She couldn't lay a finger on us!"

"Yes... Yes! That's true!" Straightening a little more, Ellie began pulling her friend towards the house next to them. "Come one, we should try the next house."
