"Admissions of Mark is in the back allies towards canada, right?" Danebod looks to Sokkaina. "We aren't going."
"But, the tapes!"
"We could sneak on the plantations--"
"Hush."
"That's not a bad idea," I said without thinking. "I came off one, after I got… kidnapped by one of the maids."
"Name?" voices Danebod. "Chloe? Close the window or something."
"Close the window?" Sokkaina titters. "She must be ugly. Is she a witch?"
"I think. She said she was going to turn me into one."
"How?"
"I was in a shack and she forced me to drink this nasty liquor."
"Was it Dare?"
"Yep."
"Damn." Danebod sulks. "We need to find your body. Probably can't use it tho…"
"We really should wait for Daisy…" said Sokkaina. "I know we can go alone if we take a feather off Gail."
"That's not Gail!" blurts sokkaina. "She split!"
"I still think we could go alone. Like, I've been practicing and I got carpet."
"It doesn't matter how big your bush is. It's dangerous!"
"Well…" Danebod put her hands on her hips. "I got big pussy power. I'll find somebody to go with. First mate," she turns to me. "How bout it?" she smiles.
"Uh…" I look at Sokkaina shaking her head. "Yeah. I'll go."
What am I doing?

Daisy is having her baptism. We sat in her room with three other girls. "Mokiri, this is Kanshi Crovan, Vella Howlett, and Squire Odonaghue."
"Nice to meet you." I greet. "I'm a boy just to put it out there." says Squire. He looks to Danebod, "You got permission?"
"No…" she sighs. "Daisy is dead."
"What!" blurts out a girl with pink pigtails with buttons in them. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah…"
"No she isn't!" Danebod clasp her hand over my mouth. "Daisy has left us…"
Goddamn it! I shake out of her hand. "Baptism!"
"Is Daisy dead or not?" asks a girl with deep brown skin. She has glitter on her face and pink glowing eyes. Her fro is straight. I hope that perm last.
"What the fuck!"
"Oh be quiet." she waves me off. "Daisy is not dead!" I yell. "You will shut the fuck up!" she hisses. "Ok, we don't care."
"We just don't like Sister Sin and I heard from the grapevine that you saw Abner, so you probably tainted." says Squire He is done up like a whole female. This bitch as eyeshadow, mascara, and earrings. I like his earrings, they attach to his nose.
"What's wrong with Daisy?"
"We just don't like her…" Squire says. "Like… we wanna do stuff sometimes. We don't wanna be here all day and meditate."
"I don't even like sitting down. I haven't gotten high since I joined."
"Really?" Danebod laughs. "I had lean yesterday. Biggest boost of energy. I don't care what my soul looks like."
"Really!" agrees the girl with pigtails. "Drugs don't spoil your spirit!"
"It does!" I chastize. "What the fuck is wrong with you people?"
"Girl calm down…" says the black female. "I do drugs and my soul is white or else I wouldn't be here."
"Y'all…" I take a breath. "Are retarded."
"No…" the girl with pigtails shakes her head slowly. "If you do it once a week. You don't even get high."
"WHAT THE--" Danebod covers my mouth. I push her from me into the wall. "Keep yo fucking hands off me!"
She pulls a knife from her thigh. "Bitch!" she lunges at me with the blade but I dodge and punch her in the neck. "Try again!"
"Wait! Wait!" the girl with pink pigtails raises her voice. I put Danebod in a headlock ready to break her neck. "Let me go!"
"Beg for it!" I twist her neck to the side. "Goddamn it! I said wait!" the girl with pink hair tries to loosen my hold. "Look, we won't say anything about fucking Daisy!"
"What;s your name?" I still grip on Danebod's head. "My name--" she sucks her teeth. "Vella Howlett! Let her go!"
"If you wanna know, we want one of the medallions." says the black girl presumably Kanshi Crovan. "What medal?"
"You stupid fucking giant dike ass bitch!" screams Danebod kicking me. She goes in to hit and I block it with my arm. "SIT!" I shout and watch her struggle to get up. "We want the Athanasia Tiara."
"The Tiara of Athanasia or Athanasia's Tiara?"
Kanshi rolls her eyes. "It's a medallion called Athanasia's Tiara."
"And it's in the church?"
"Yes!"
"And what does it do?"
"It controls devils…" says Squire. "Adonijah used to wear it."
"Who?"
"He ran the church you stupid fat fuck!"
"You literally ride carpet that's a given."
"You wanna eat mine!" Danebod snaps.
"This is fucking gay…" mutters Vella. "We have a theory and we wanna test it."
"What if it kills people?" I narrow my eyes. "Who cares?" Vella looks at the floor. "I died. You died. People die…"
"Y'all fuck up in the soul and mind!" I yell. "Well I burned to death so that means I already had my baptism." retorts Kanshi. "Stick yo fucking neck out again. You gon' stretch it!"
"Bitch, fuck you!" she flips me off. "Why the fuck did I bring your stupid ass here!"
"Well…" I smile. "I'll go but I'm taking the medal."
"What!" exclaims Squire. "Your taking over?"
"Yes, bitch nigga with pearls. I'm doing it."
"You don't even know where it is!"
"Well, y'all giving me ideas. So first, where is this church? Do I need heels or a suit?"
