"I don't wanna talk about this. I'mma go check on Corrie, make sure she healing…" Karolina got up and left the room.
I tap Lucant on the arm, he turns. "Who?"
"You never heard of Shikki?"
"No…" I answer meekly. "Honey, Shikki is Aleigha daughter. He has a son named Coochie Man." adds Jia. "Shikki is his only daughter unless Olisha got pregnant with a girl but for all we know. That baby could be dead."
"Shikki was lynched, beat, shot…" Karolina looks to Jia. "What else?"
"Road burn, pulled the classic being dragged behind a car. Aleigha watched his kid skip the road." says Jia. Her eyes are on fire and blast from her sockets. The flames are bright, large, but she screams. The fire pours out her mouth. I hear her cough, screaming louder and louder.
Lucant covers my eyes. I try to take his hand away. "I'M BURNING! I'M BURNING!"
"You shouldn't have said what you said," says Lucant. "What's happening!" I finally move his hands away and Jia has burst into flames.
O B A Y I F O!
Her screeching hurts my ears. He covered the wrong thing, I pull my hand away and my ears are bleeding.
A deep demonic voice sounds and the walls crack.
G O D B L E S S Y O U
Jia explodes, I literally hear the popping of her soul. "Curse words…" Karolina puts a finger over her lips. I shiver, "What was… that?"
"Jia's a dumb bitch. Was she one of the snitches?" asks Lucant. "I don't know… I was running a small shop. I let Shikki stay in my attic."
"So you helped?"
"Of course…"
"Who's Shikki!" I yell. "Girl pay attention. Luckily you wasn't born but your mother is Mable's daughter. So you the evil grand baby."
"I am not! I don't even know her!" I stand up. "Stop blaming me for something I didn't even fucking do!"
A sharp pain makes me stop. I grab my head and fall to my knees. My body is cold.
I see something… the white lines on a street. I hear feet. 'Gave me a fucking girl!' A gunshot goes off and a baby is crying.
I see a man with dark skin and hair combed back. He's wearing a black jacket to his feet and green pants. He has a skinny face and not big in frame. Behind him, I see a woman crawl.
Am I the body?
Did he shoot a baby?
'Alexis!' the woman calls out. 'Dareion stop it!' she cries.
'You lucky as shit' he fires a golden gun off and my vision is red. I cry in reality. When I break free of the premonition. The mattress has black stains. I wipe my eyes, it's coming from me. I scream, I don't know what that is.
"You excepted blood? Baby we ain't white…" says Lucant standing up. Karolina walks to me, "And we sure ain't happy…"

I hate my life. I should kill myself.
I was told to stay in the room while the adults went to see Jesus. I don't know what that means but I'm sitting scared for my safety about what I saw. Do my parents hate me? No. My mom didn't hate me. Alexis is my middle name…
I face the wall. Why am I here? I could run, beats staying trying to die… I mean get murdered. What does it mean to be the antichrist? What does the antichrist do? Then surely I must hot be.
Adonijah told them to put me in that pit. I hope he has a heart attack in his sleep. In his fuckin' coffin. Who's Jesus?
Better yet.
"Where in the fuck am I!" I sit up straight. I get off the mattress. I don't care, I'm going outside. The hall isn't that big and it's just a room across from it. I go up the hall and towards the front door, also pass the fat vampire with his mouth open.
Easy shit. I'm outside, I'm free, young, and hard headed as fuck. There are cars in front of the door, blocking the the path. Seven purple coupes, some with a design and behind them a giant yellow hummer. I casually leap between the threshold of two cars too close together.
This hold time I've been here, people have cried, died (possibly), and yelled. I look over my shoulder and the west wing of the barn is lit. I continue walking until a step on a sign.
The Admissions of Mark Church, it's a broken sign with four missing letters, the o, the s, the u, and the d in admission.
The crying gets louder in the background. I roll my eyes and make a stupid U-turn because I'm so fucking nosey. I get closer and I hear voice, including Lucant's.
"Get this bitch out of me!" a woman urges. The window is covered by a white curtain. I can't see much but I catch a glimpse of several people in the room.
A woman close to the window is bent over a table and screaming her heart out and Lucant is help her. "Joe! Push a little more."
"I'm sick of this shit…" she cries. "Push one more time." says Lucant. The woman beats the table she bent over, her face strain with the birth. "It's burning!"
"Joella… doe sit have a tail!" asks somebody.
"The head is out. It's a pig's face…" I hear. What?
"I thought this shit came from rituals?"
"It does, the damn thing keeps raping me!" What is she talking about? "Well, he likes you. And I haven't got Jesus out the tub but Dareion's having fun playing with his crown."
Is that Adonijah? Something ugly, comes through the door. I drop from the window and fall on the grass…
Calm down heart.

"I got a shipment to lord crazy for about 750. Joella you need to start giving twins."
"I fucking hate you!" I'm a big ass nigga. I should do something, that's right thing to do. I feel as if the devil goes to church but with all that has happened to me. The Devil got nothing to do with it.
This old nigga is evil. Joella is 18, this is prostitution and that grandfather clock has lost his mind. He has twisted my words and ripped me apart and now we have a kid in church.
Shuja won't do anything. Before and after, I'm not sure who Adonijah is but he said he could help Shuja. He just needed his spirit clean and this nigga dropped the tomb of Jesus himself.
I just wanted my cousin back.
Adonijah came to the church with this two faced mangle. A horrible fucking mockery of angels. It has a head of a dog and a pig. His name is Yoc. It has a lions tail, human arms and feet of a horse.
"I want… a baby." it wheezes.
Why is this on repeat. Lord what did I do?
