I am a six feet five female! I do not know how tall my daddy was but I know he was Moroccan! I'm a muslim! My mother was on drugs. My ass hit water and I've had enough!
"You realize we are dead, right?" sneers Vella. "I am. But I also don't have to act like it." I said.
"What the fuck does that mean?" exclaimed Squire.
"Why do vamps walk?"
"Oh please…" Clearly he had nothing to say. Vella had the means to use a ritual or charm to teleport there. "Welcome to the back allies." A bunch of cars were tipped over, broken car windows, and the church's windows with glass spluttered about. The church sat on this small hill and had decaying grass with discolored patches in the dull jungle green grass.
There was graffiti on the church and inside the building. Some in bible verses and some in Asian writing.
The front door was swaying on the hinges. Even that had the glass planes missing, not shattered, just missing.
"What happened to this place?"
"They made the show here and big barn in the back of the church. And a lynching tree." said Vella.
I went around the church and in the back I saw a picnic table broken fully in half and a picnic table on the ground facing it's top.
There was a tree and it was burnt with corpses, some skeletons of vampires littered at the base of the tree. It was just a torso without arms, legs, or a skull. I found a skull by a broken table and the top of the bone was cracked with a split down the eye socket.
The vampire teeth were missing and the left eye socket had been smashed in. "Who was this?" As most people ask.
"Who knows the bone are practically useless. No soul, no body." states Kanshi. Squire goes to the big barn in the way back and I notice sand already over the small patio in the back of the church.
There were clothes scattered inside the emptying sandbox. This wasn't a normal sandbox, if that makes sense. One part was just an inflatable swimming pool and one corner had a palm tree, of course made out of plastic, attached to it.
The right corners were sinking into the ground and sand spilled out.
The other side of the pool was a wooden dark brown box that was still together but held too much sand and had a tarp laying loosely on top.
"Remember, we want the Tiara." I hear Danebod without turning my head.
I had the urge to shift the sand. Sandboxes are important, it talks about childhood. I kneel to the sand and grab a red bucket and scoop sand up. As I move the material, I see a skeleton had show up. I dump all the sand over the hand and leave. I don't wanna see any more.
I jog to the church and walk through the glass door. I cover my nose and look at the blood splattered on the book case towards the entrance. I head to the left side and see a dozen mattresses. In a room, a corpse laid in black cesspool on a high mattress. I didn't count for Kanshi to follow behind me.
She walks into the room and looks at the corpse. She moves a mattress overlaying the dead body to the wall. Kanshi pulls out a small flashlight from her pocket and shines it down. "This might be fucking Adonijah."
"Is it?" I turned around to a light switch on the hall wall and flick it up and down. It makes noise but no light.
"How did he die?"
"I thought y'all already knew?"
"The realm is Locucts!" she shouts. "We literally are shown shit because the realm is alive. Do you know what I see? I see Dalmatians on a daily fucking basis! Just running behind a white child and they happy!"
Bitch don't raise yo voice at me.
I hear Kanshi scream and look in the room to see the corpse grab her.
My mind is constantly convinced I don't have magic. But a witch can practice.
The corpse of Adonijah tries to hold Kanshi with both hands. There's a body outline on the mattress and defying all logic. This nigga's jaws start clamping the air trying to get to her.
I don't think Kanshi is a witch. I feel so unbothered by this. I see Adonijah's eyes sockets glow pink but it doesn't make sense to me.
Why can't I move?
The corpse raises off the bed still holding her arm. "LET ME GO!" she screams. I cannot move.
His body sways off the floor and chomps down on her neck. "I'M VAMPIRE I'M VAMPIRE!" she hollers. Vella runs to the hall but immediately stops and walks backwards. "She's dead.
"GET OFF ME!" Kanshi's body thrust to the wall. Her bleeds out, Adonijah puts out both his arms. "ǝʌoɯ I ʍoɥ ǝʞᴉʅ ǝʌoW…"
Kanshi lifts off the floor and her body shakes. Adonijah's mouth opens.
Pass me the pacifier
Get the baby wipes, nigga
Look at the mess you made
Make sure this shit clean
Before I come home, none of this should be seen
Riding between scenes, ready for a Guthrie test, sleeping with the grow bag
I'm not a baby boomer, I'm a mover
Limelight this pregnancy, baby mama asking for change
I say, joyless is a life, blasphemy that's… just money
What is this lyric? It sounds greedy. I can step back but I can't go forward. I push Vella back to the yard and go around to look through the window. Adonijah is just floating with Kanshi in front of him. "The girl…"
"Get her…" Adonijah faces the window with a broken jaw and his tongue slipping out his mouth.
Is that a smile?
Kanshi comes flying out the window. She spins and dives down. Kanshi flies towards me with her arms beside her. Vella bolts away from me.
Kanshi's legs smack me with her legs, holding her mouth open. I grab her leg, drag her down, and twirl her body into the edge of the church. She screeches and an arrow hits my shoulder. "What the fuck!" I pull out the arrow and look at Danebod by the tree. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" I scream.
"Sorry!"
I see one of the skeletons by the tree. It hovers behind Danebod with legs and arms from another. The skull circles her, getting in her face. "What the hell!" she waves it off and another skull with the top missing bites her shoulders.
"COME HITHER!" Adonijah's voice carries to my ears. He howls in the sky and I look beyond the ditch pass the sandbox. Bodies lift from it, clawing at the dirt to escape the hole.
They appear shot up, cut, beheaded, mutated and lost. What the fuck is the soul doing? There is nothing left.
I hear a high pitch scream from the barn and something runs to the church. It has a horse's head and bloated white legs. I can hear that deep breathing.
It drags a string of heads behind it's tail. Where is Squire? "Mokiri we have to leave!" Vella bolts to the front door and screams.
I can't get in to help her. Something is blocking me. "I can't die!" I look up at Adonijah's body. Behind me, pink smoke clouds the air. "What are you doing!" I shout.
He looks down at me and his socket's are wide. "What am supposed to do…"
