"Saint John HARPER. Was a poor racist. He was notorious for pretending to be married to women just to get in a house or forging documents. Following the ways of the tribe. This nigga bulit some shit, and the vampiric Gods saw the disrespect and lynched this nigga and decided let's sit on his ass."
"What is in trying—"
"GODDAMN IT. CAUSE AN UPRISING."
"I get that but what does he want out of it?"
Ayeta slaps himself. "A BODY. THEY RAIDED HIS CASTLE."

I thought we were in love with Jesus?
I'm done. I know better than to expect anything from a praiser. All they do is fill their asses with the holy spirit they can't even see. Experience rolls her eyes, at the moment it's Ayeti ad fear I've grown attached. It's illegal anyway.
To be honest, if I had a human, I'd be a pain In her ass I'm so greedy. "Is that body still human?"
Ayeti stares open-mouthed at me, "Nigga you one of those chubby chasing hoes? I know she a big bitch but goddam."
"Come on man, I'm a vamp." I lift my shoulders.
"Hmmm, oh" he smiles. "I'll do you one better. I know where the fountain is."
"The blood fountains?" That's really that's the last thing I need to know. I am hungry but my better instincts say otherwise. "Where?"
"It's at the bottom of the school. However..."
I roll my eyes, it's always something. What is my brother going through right now? I left him In a damn car, I can't text him. Oh well...
"Take me there... ancestor."
"Something like that... I promise I'll make it worth your while." He grins through her body. "Trust me, even if it you lose your head."
Now that is dangerous.
Ayeti, in Experience's body, leads me out of the art room ad we down the right hallway. "You can take the elevator to the basement, but you got to go through the principal's office. "Secret passage?"
"Sort of," he says. "It's really the school superintendent's room. You have to move the shelf I his office."
"That's weird."
"He dead anyway."
"Oh, ok." My mind still hasn't left the fact that Alexis is fucking wild. She is around and I don't want it. We meet on a two-way path. To the left is a hall and to the right is the bathroom. I should go.
"One minute." I say heading to the restroom. I don't have to but I feel something. Might be my dick piercing if it's anything else, I don't wanna think about it.
My mind starts pondering. The text from Sunaila , she worships Jesus? I'm not a religious scholar. My mother was and was said to be married to several men and I do have a lot of families. Vampires breed heavy, it's custom. But I have a brother, who is just weird. I haven't spoken to him in a long time. I don't even remember his name.
Warr is my brother, the firstborn and he has a twin named Real, we call him Reality. Mama's father is Gabriel or Regal.
Vampires have a tradition when it comes to marriage. Yes, she's married to multiple men. I can only remember seven. I do recall mama running to grandma Olisha. What a weird time to bring up Jesus.
Leaving the restroom, Ayeti takes me to the elevator ad we go to the bottom floor. In the elevator, "Sorry." he says.
"Why?"
"I used to be his servant. I can't say anything."
Oh. So, it's like that.
"It's way more to it?"
"It's not power. The first King is Iarius's father... well. His grandfather."
"You just said a lot right then." So, the grandfather had a throne. Assumingly lost the throne, Iarius is Warr's father. If I'm thinking about it correctly, shouldn't Warr be more involved? Does mom know something? "You not finna tell me shit. You swore allegiance?" He shakes his head. "Well, I used to go to church. People went to church to find the spirit! Ooo, we love to praise but I am a confessional piece."
"And that means?"
"Look at your sins. I did a lot for the King." he looks at me. Experience's eyes are white and red, "You wanna sit peacefully?"
"What you mean?
"All gangstas just want peace.
We make it to the bottom floor. I'm tired of ominous dark halls. The halls at the bottom are tattered, its blue paint peeling off the walls. Holes I the floor, a rat nibbling on God knows what. Broke lockers, glass, ad an old banner. I pace down the corridor and look at the yellow and orange banner, 'Humanity!' with a cartoon smiling and reaching their arms in the air.
Creepy.
One, why is that in a vampire school? In the ghytto, to top it all off? "Did this basement have any significance?"
"The super used to rape students." Shut up the rest of the day, but he goes on. "The female students would drink some type of liquor with him. Made the girls have sex with each other and the boys involved got him more girls. But also..." Be quiet. "He called them Ladies and the girls, were... uh..."
"You can shut up."
"Not Bitches." he cups his chin. I'm just talking to the wind.
"So, basically a grown ass man raped underage girls?"
"Yeah... six got pregnant." he shrugs. I squint my eyes, "Question, Was... Augusta a girl that was--"
"Yep... she's just really drunk."
"Can I have her back?"
"Nasty." he grunts. "You can't get attached to hoes. You breaking codes."
I didn't say I was I love. Mokiri... I can't help but sigh, it's just loneliness. "Do you have a first love?" asked Ayeti.
"Uh..." her name is like blisters on my lips. "Nah."
"Liar!" he jabs his finger at me. "Who is Mokiri?"
Mine. "Somebody, we met." In a basement, my chest is tight. I feel I might be sick. I grab the sides of my head. We have a kid... right?
Ayeti blinks. "You got an heir?"
"I don't know." I swore I got her pregnant. "I can tell you everything but we have to find the fountain. Headcount is Iarius's father... he's basically using it—" Experience's body convulses, spits foams at her lips. She collapses on the floor.
"You won't get me that easy... well. You are almost here. Sup." a deep French accent comes through the speakers below. They light up, a blue light surrounding them. Is he using magic? "Good morning students. It is a lovely dreadful light, in Amalaric Thrallmaster. I hope you are rested ad ever weary."
The lockers open and close behind me. Clanking against the metal like a loud theater. "Stop it!" I'm tired of this son of a bitch. Enough! "Your Iarius's father!"
"And?" his voice is so dead. "He married Hanielle, what a sweet girl."
"You got something against my mother! Nigga!
"I just—I have allergies, apparently, I just don't like happiness. When I was little I watched my father get lynched. I'm sorry you saw that. But of course," he clears his throat. "SHE'S NOT FUCKIG DEAD. They fucked me up... Made my mom kill my step father, locked me In a fucking basement and beat me till this shit happened. I'm not fucking Zhaire."
"The who!"
"It sucks so much when you raised by a king ad you lose everything! But ow it's ok, he gets to be I the family business. Something the DOHRCC can't control but as last... they mimic."
"So, you want your throne back?"
"Yeah, but then I heard through a little bird's ears that. Your mom built a throne just for you."
I can't even fathom what's so fucking special about it. "My father's seat got fucking THRASHED." the speakers whistle. "SO WHERE IS IT LITTLE BITCH."
"what's with all the cofusio?"
"I said you did the same. Your fuckig side of the family. Hanielle's blood broke ito the dam house a dowuld't fucking leave."
I stand tall. "My mother has nothing to do with this."
"Bullshit nigga." he growls over the speaker. "Little miss savior got a lot to do with it. Did you know she got adopted by Arch Angel Gabriel? Like an angel took a liking to her and said, that's mine. Ad to top it all off, Gabriel is God's son! Like niggas is out here doing the most."
That's only partly correct. I can define it In his voice. Mama had nothing to do with it. They want Regal.
"Where are you?"
"Sitting In a bath with blood." I hear slurping. "My nuts look like two big ass cherries." He wheezes into a hearty laugh. "Come lick em."
