***********************
On the wall of Harold Weston’s main bar was a picture of his favourite niece.
Harold, or Harry as his family and friends knew him, was the Uncle of Fiona Weston. Harry loved Fiona like an Uncle should, but he knew what the regulars at his pub, the Dog and Gun in Walthamstow East of London, thought about her. More than once he had to remind them that she was his niece as he overheard their conversations of what they could, should and would do to her given half the chance.
Harry had never dreamed of the effect him being related to “little Fi” would have on his pub. He had found that in the last few years, since she had developed into the gorgeous creature she was today, his increased custom had built up largely due to the fact that he was related to her. He sometimes thought that his customers came in simply on the off chance that they might just see her, but mostly he gratefully accepted the increased trade and got on with it without thinking too much.
Others though, the ones who came most regularly to drink at the Dog and Gun, knew that sometimes, maybe seven or eight times a year, Fiona would stay at her Uncle’s pub and help out behind the bar. Whilst most of the time she was no where to be seen there was always the chance that she would be there, pulling their beer in all of her glory.
This particular evening had been one of those occasions.
*************************************************
“Come on ladies and gentlemen, time to go please.”
Harry had been trying to clear his pub for the last half an hour. Outside a taxi waited to take him and his wife, Fiona’s Auntie Freda, to Napoleon’s casino. He liked a flutter did Uncle Harry and those places never got going until late so he was more comfortable making sure the pub was cleared before he left.
Fiona stood at one end of the bar and laughed heartily.
“Go on Uncle Harry, you know that I can lock up, it’s really not a problem.”
“You’re a good girl Fi, you really are,” he said as he kissed her cheek. The last of his customers had now filed out onto the pavements outside the pub and Harry and Freda soon followed.
“Goodnight love,” shouted Auntie Freda, “I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Night, night,” replied Fiona. She would be sound asleep, enjoying her break from the rigors of everyday life when they returned.
Fiona moved to a table with a couple of the day’s newspapers. She opened the front page of the Mail when a voice startled her almost into heart failure.
“Oh love, I forgot to ask, could you change the bitter barrel for me? You’re a darling.”
“Yes Uncle Harry of course, now get yourselves off otherwise it’ll be time to come home before you get there.”
Fiona stood up and went to the bar. There was a pot of hot coffee on the boil and she poured herself a steaming cup. The fresh smell of the beans relaxed her. It had been a busy night and she was always called upon to combine the tasks of pulling the drinks with a little idle chatter.
She knew her Uncle liked her to dress up and please the customers so she tried to wear moderately sexy clothes and keep them happy. Tonight had been very warm and so she had worn even less than usual and at one stage, when she caught the eye of a young man standing at the bar roving down her low neck T-shirt to her braless breasts, Fiona had thought about going to change her clothes. But she soon reflected that if that was as bad as it got she could live with it. After all she was helping his trade, and Uncle Harry had always been good to her.
Fiona walked back to her seat and setting down the cup she took a sip from the coffee. It was a pain in the backside having to change the beer barrel but she knew that it would make life easier for her Uncle tomorrow. She glanced at her watch, 11:40, almost midnight.
The lovely young girl brushed back her blonde locks as she dragged herself up from the table and made her way across the wooden floor of the main public bar towards the beer cellar steps. As she walked she glanced about, as if anxious someone else might be around. It was a big old pub, and, whilst she would never have told her Uncle this, being alone there made Fiona nervous. She looked down at her legs as the chill of the night air filtered back into the room now that the customers had left. Goose pimples began to appear making Fiona shiver and she thought to herself that her brief skirt might actually be a little inappropriate for this trip to the cellar, the short hem threatening to expose more and more thigh with every step. She hugged her folded arms to her body in an attempt to warm herself, wondering momentarily if it might be wise to get a torch before heading off.
The entrance was a narrow doorway, the sign informing everyone; 'Cellar – Staff Only' hung at an odd angle. Fiona looked back into the large room behind her feeling even more unsettled now. She opened the door and stepped through onto the landing at the top of the steep, stone stairs. A single naked bulb, poised to shed some light on the surroundings, waited to be switched on. It was dark inside, and she groped along the wall for a light switch. When she flicked it on, she thought for a moment that it wasn't working. Then there was a flash, and another, and the bulb came to life, emitting a low buzz.
“Anybody home?” Fiona called apprehensively leaning into the dimly lit entrance. “Only the ghosts,” she laughed nervously to herself.
She started to descend the stairs. The air became even colder moving up Fiona’s bare legs and seeping through her thin T-shirt. Her goose bumps developed goose bumps. She made each step gently, feeling her way down the uneven stone of the staircase trying to set her heel against the down slab of the previous step to make sure she didn’t trip.
At the foot of the stairway Fiona stopped. The floor became wood again and a rickety floorboard creaked under her weight. She jumped. Fiona moved her head stiffly around, studying the darkness, as the benefit of the single light bulb faded more and more.
“You must sort this out Uncle Harry,” she spoke to herself as if trying to calm her rising fear.
Fiona made out two old doorways framing large wooden doors and she couldn’t remember which one contained the beer barrels and pump supply.
“Eeny, meeny,” she started to guess at which door was the right one.
“Oh grow up Fiona,” she said to herself. Reaching out she took the doorknob of the door to her left and twisted. It moved and creaked open like the door would in a horror movie. Fiona gulped at the cold air, her skin now really chilly, and moved carefully forward.
Somewhere in the room before her a board squeaked. With a shriek Fiona whipped her head round and stared back out towards the staircase. She gazed into the blackness for a long time afraid to move a muscle.
