9:30 AM

Sitting at his desk, full of psychological toys and fake animal heads and leather

Furniture with a fresh scent of a new day and looking at his computer, face book and staring at his ex-wife`s account with a celebrity lover and the jealousy that spurs around his veins, is Painful. At 30 years of age with a respectable name, Dr James Rowley and his first client a Vampire, in which he gave him a special sun cream to walk in day light last time the vampire visited.

`Hello` vampire groaned

`Hello, come in` smiles Dr James Rowley

The vampire walks slowly with a shame and sad look on his face, giving away that he has done something wrong and he sits down on the comfortable leather chair, the room is sort of dark but colourful dark and the vampire is ready to speak.

`The sun cream works a treat but didn`t stop my thirst; I started biting people in the daylight` vampire spoke

`Oh dear, ok on to the next one, music` Dr James Rowley quickly speaking

The vampire looked confused as he is most of the days with his encounter with the psychiatrist but always has an answer for everything, the vampire pays him a hundred pounds an hour and he was referred to him, by a werewolf.

`Music has a way of changing moods and making you forget things, may be even blood and not just music but also yoga, get into a sleeping position on that sofa I`m going to put on symphony 9, by Mozart and at the same time, when your in a relaxed state I`m going to speak some words out` Dr James Rowley muttering

The psychiatrist ordering the vampire to be in a sleeping position on the leather sofa, eventually the vampire closing his eyes and Mozart`s symphony starts to be played, the psychiatrist started speaking softly and gently, speaking out some words and the vampire felt some how relaxed, this technique is mostly used in yoga.

`I want you to squeeze your whole body fingers toes and face squeeze everything, now let go, I want you to relax your whole body, I want you to let go of all the problems you have, let them flow out, ignore the sounds of what`s coming from outside like the cars and builders, let them flow out` Dr James Rowley spoke

For a whole ten minutes the vampire was in this relaxed state and seemed to be enjoying the moment of relaxation and released tension, quickly the psychiatrist looked on his mobile phone, an I-phone 4 on face book again, his ex- wife has updated a status and another flow of anger through his veins and the vampire awoke from relaxation.

`Wow I didn`t think about blood all that time, it was amazing` vampire spoke amazed

`Every day I want you to do this for ten minutes or more and here are some tablets, the science is too long to explain but theses tablets, will also help with your thirst` Dr James Rowley ordering the vampire again

The vampire went out, it was a good session.

10: 30 AM

He was messing around with some of the equipments, and comes in a ghoul, a grave yard worker and secretly digs up dead people to eat; he has gone to the psychiatrist for help.

`Playing time` Ghoul Laughing at the psychiatrist playing with the equipments

`No just waiting, come in` Dr James Rowley spoke

The Ghoul sits down; he has mud all over him and a sad look on his face.

`Eating dead people again` Dr James Rowley spoke guessing first time

`Yes I can`t help it` Ghoul replied

The psychiatrist thinks to himself for a moment and playing with the Newton`s cradle, no drug or tablet could really help this ghoul but then a thought came.

`Sex!` Dr James Rowley shouted

The ghoul was shocked to hear such a word and the psychiatrist smiled at him and stood up with his hands in his pockets and the sound of the Newton`s cradle rocking.

`I have a feeling when you eat dead people, you like the feeling of being disgusting or you feel the need to punish your self and for being disgusting, sex could be your answer` Dr James Rowley muttered

`Why sex?` Ghoul questioned

`get all that disgusting energy inside of you making you eat, dead people and making you feel superior, into sex, because the male always feels more dominant in sex, so go to a brothel or where prostitutes go, they`re disgusting humans if you think about it and basically yeah` Dr James Rowley muttering again

`Your one of the strangest people I know seriously, so I have to have sex with prostitutes and go to brothels?` Ghoul spoke

`If that doesn`t work, I don`t know what else could?` DR James Rowley spoke

The ghoul left, it was a 1 hour wait for the next client with the devil. The psychiatrist checking on face book again, his wife is even more beautiful than she ever was with him and slight feeling of embarrassment, when he looks at her profile picture and the need to keep going through the pictures, is torture and agony. Sweat down his forehead and he can hear his own heartbeat.

12:30 PM

The devil steps in, 6`1 and handsome with a respectable look and he smiles at the psychiatrist, staring at the devil with such a name behind him, the devil the one who started evil and god`s number one enemy, wanted help from a psychiatrist.

`Come in come in` Dr James Rowley shouted out loud

`Call me Lucifer` Lucifer replied

`So what`s wrong....Lucifer?` Dr James Rowley Questioned

It was a look the psychiatrist thought he will never see which is a sad look on the devil`s face and being anxiousness, to know what was wrong with the devil and speak to him, the psychiatrist is not a Satanist but the devil is the first celebrity in the psychiatrist`s office and out of the entire psychiatrist`s in the world, he chose the one in England Manchester, city centre. Lucifer stood up and looked out of the window with his arms behind him and looked at the computer to see the pretty woman on face book.

`She is pretty, is she your wife?` Lucifer complimented

`No ex-wife, she left me for a celebrity actor` Dr James Rowley Mumbled

`Women hey, so easy to seduce, if it would make you feel any better, she only went for that celebrity for his status not him, as a human` Lucifer implied

`It does, Lucifer what`s wrong why are you here?` Dr James Rowley questioned

A moment of silence and awkwardness but the devil eventually spoke.

`Last couple of days, I have been feeling sad` Lucifer replied

The psychiatrist wasn`t thinking of his ex-wife any more but the mystery of the devil`s visit was over whelming and he would give him all the time in the world to speak out or even cry, to see the devil like this would be a first of wonders. He opened a bottle of wine and drank till they got drunk; Lucifer and the psychiatrist were laughing and were definitely drunk.

`you know what I hate, when people make a deal with me, then when it gets to the end of their deal, they all go to god for forgiveness for fucks sake, why make the deal in the first place?` Lucifer drunkenly spoke

The psychiatrist spilling out his feelings, alcohol was used to break the tension because a mere normal human being to a dark lord, to break the feeling of importance and respect, in a way alcohol made them both equal.

`My wife and an actor my wife, he is just so goofy looking, my gosh women what the hell do they want` drunkenly spoke Dr James Rowley

They spoke of all crazy things in the world and laughed and it was nearing midnight with the television on.

`Hey is it possible to make a deal to go to heaven forever or never go to hell?` Dr James Rowley questioned

`No` Lucifer laughs

It was late and they put the alcohol away and the psychiatrist sits in his chair and the devil sits up right.

`I think that did it and I`m not sad any more, I just wanted a chat where it`s not about religion or evil or world domination, just a normal fun chat thank you Dr James Rowley thank you, here`s a gold coin and it`s worth thousands now` Lucifer complimenting the psychiatrist

The devil left and the psychiatrist still drunk fell asleep on the leather sofa and morning rose and with a hangover; steps in the vampire covered in blood and an angry look on his face, the psychiatrist awoke in surprise and a worried look on his face.

5:00 AM

`The techniques the tablets they didn`t work!` The vampire angrily spoke

`The tablets, were not real I lied` Dr James Rowley spoke

`Why did you lie to me?` Vampire shouted

`The meditation techniques I expected to work but the tablets were not real; I was going for the placebo effect` Dr James Rowley trying to explain with a hangover

The placebo effect is a where a doctor gives a fake medicine but lying to the patient but the belief, would build a stronger immunity to the disease/illness but the lie is a guilty conscious to carry and sometimes it works and other times it`s a failure. The vampire shouting at the psychiatrist and with the hangover he wasn`t in the mood for it.

`I can`t believe I went to a human for help a human!` Vampire shouting angrily

`I`m sorry` Dr James Rowley trying to redeem himself

`Why do you do it, help creatures like me why do you do it, is their benefit to you spiritually or mentally?` Vampire questioning angrily

Dr James Rowley

`Because out their in the human world I`m a weirdo, I don`t feel normal out their, I`m like one of you guys, weird with weird problems, you guys make me feel normal!` shouted out loud Dr James Rowley

A silence and a moment of thought, the vampire suddenly had a realisation and a smile of genius. The psychiatrist was in a way was like them, the night creatures; he was no different except that he was human.

`I don`t feel thirsty right now, its you, you`re the one that keeps me away from blood, when I think of you a good person, I don`t feel thirsty and all those times when we talked, I could`ve ripped you to pieces but I didn`t` Vampire speaking now enlightened

The sudden realisation leaked into the psychiatrist`s mind and a wonder of hope.

`Thank you` vampire spoke lovingly

The vampire hugged him and a loving smile, the psychiatrist smiled back and also hugged back, he solved a lot cases today. He went back to his desk and on the computer was face book. He deleted his ex-wife off his friend`s list. He thought about what he was to the vampire, because he was mortal and would die one day and he would only start biting people again.

`I`m not going to live forever you know` Dr James Rowley implying the obvious

`Can I turn you into a vampire that way you live forever?` Vampire spoke

`No you just have to find another psychiatrist like, me or you will have to find another way` Dr James Rowley spoke

It was a good day for the psychiatrist but then a phone call came, a surprising call.

(Phone rings)

`Hello` Dr James Rowley spoke

`It`s me the Ghoul, I at ate the prostitutes!` Ghoul shouted
