a/n: yo, sorry for the wait and I shall keep you waiting no longer
oh and I almost forgot, this is the very next day
I woke up lying on Kiesha's grave; the fire had burnt out and was now a pile of grey ash blowing away in the wind that could not touch her before I was finished with her. My eyes are sore and red. I was crying in my sleep I walk away from the grave reluctantly. I see my reflection in a window, my face is blank, my body is tense, I don't even recognise myself. I look so hollow.
Kiesha was the closest thing I had to a friend and I only meet the girl an hour before i killed her
Man, let's get going, we have to find the rich lady, Kiesha would have wanted us to succeed or else her death would have been for nothing.
I look down at my wrist where I had cut off some of her jacket to remember her by and I won't let her sacrifice.
Let's go, Fred
I ran to …..
The library (anti climatic right?)
"Google: Emma Lauren"
Three thousand links came up.
Oh
Mah
Gawd
Well aren't we popular
I look up her address
69 Jiraiya Street
Is this a joke (any of you seen Naruto should get this)
And now I ran…
To get lunch
Are you just stalling?
Yeah
Get going NOW!
Now I ran to…
The bathroom
DAMN IT, MOVE YOU'RE PUSSY ASS TO THAT HOUSE
Okay jeez, let me pee
This time I ran to…
69 Jiraiya Street
Fina-fucking-lly
Okay, I know that this is crazy but I think I love her house, I mean it is a fuck mansion. Decked in black. Old style haunted house
I slam down the door and am shocked silent.
She's… she's… she's an
Otaku!
Otaku!
I've never seen one, incredible
The walls decked in black, shelves everywhere with anime practically falling off it
Dude, I like manga as much as the next guy but dude I see anime genes I never even knew existed.
Man, this chick has got serious issues, dude!
What?
is that high school of the dead, and howls moving castle? Fred said getting all jumpy
I love howls moving castle, Calsefer is the best
Nah way man Markl beats Calsefer hands down
Bitch please, Calsefer can move a whole castle and what can markl do, oh yeah I can change into old man.
Markl!
Calsefer
Markl!
Fred!
That's my name
We need to find…
That's all he had time to think before a figure emerged in the hall way
"hey you,' slurred a feminine drunken voice "what are you doing in my house?" she was wearing a silk black robe, red hair in a loose pony tail bottle in hand
"Hi miss" I played along with a husky tone "your candy looks so sweet, I wanna lick the wrapper"
"yeah, well fuck off" she yells "I'm tired, hung over man last night I drank, I smoked weed and not that sissy rolled up Tabaco combo shit, I mean hard core straight from a bong rez."
"Do you have any left" I asked, not actually meaning it
"Yeah, I got a lot, but you aren't getting any from me" she says greedily
"Hey is this fruits basket "I ask and her mood instantly changes
"Yeah, it's one of the first few I bought" hook
"I love it, I love the pairing Kyo and Haru" I say
"You like yaoi" line
"Yeah totally"
"You should come with me we can get drunk high and laugh a Akito when he goes ape shit" and sinker
"Totally"
-Basement-
Wow, her basement is like completely full of manga.
There is a fucking cinema screen across the wall, with an ice-cream stand, fairy floss machine and a bloody popcorn mountain.
"So, how did you become so rich?" I seriously need to try it
"Well when I was younger, I was a graphic designer, I made this awesome video game idea and Microsoft bought it off me for a billion dollars an- don't gimmie that look I ain't no five dollar hooker. And every time a copy of the game is sold I get paid one thousand dollars. Since about five hundred copies are sold a minute I get about five hundred thousand dollars a minute and I don't gotta do jack shit." She smirked getting out her bong and rez.
"Man, I wish I was you" I really wanted to be her
"Doesn't everybody" she sat down turned on the TV and clicked on something called Akito's best moments then pressed pause.
"Okay we need to get high first" she started to fill the CP and lit it up "whew, that is some spicy stuff"
She passed it to me and I pretended to inhale, of course Fred had a problem with that
Man, you're wasting some quality rez right there
Shut up Fred, we need to finish soon
While she was high I bound her to the floor and roof with chains that were strangely there. I had of course knocked her unconscious and she now looks kind of the same but is dangling from the roof.
"Peter Peter pumpkin eater
Had a wife and couldn't keep her
He put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well!" sang a voice from the stair way
A figure descended the stair way. A young girl with red hair all in oily clumps and eyes wide as if in fear of being here. Her clothes in rages all bloody and tattered. Her wide brown eyes looked up to Emma. She walked toward Emma not before picking up a knife I had put down next to the forgotten bong. She went to harm her
"stop, I need her to suffer" I stepped in front of Emma but my words fall deaf to her ears when she jumped into a corner of the room. I heard shuffling and squeaking then she re-emerged with a clear tank about the size of an a4 piece of paper and as high as twenty centimetres filled with about five anorexic rats
"Don't worry,' she says with her voice that sounds like a spirit 'I plan for her to suffer greatly"
She walks towards Emma who is just now waking up, I waited for the customary 'what is this fuckery' but got instead
"Hey otaku buddy, what's going on" she clearly hasn't realised yet. She looks at Emma and her mood instantly sours. "How did you get out of the attic?"
I knock Emma unconscious again.
The girl who told me her name is Maddie Alice and is Emma's cousin. Emma had locked her in the attic for the past five years and is now every kind of insane.
"Hmnonnom uhg give me the bacon" Emma said as she awoke.
During her state of unconsciousness, Maddie and I had set up a few beach chairs and snacks to feed Africa.
"Are you ready?" Maddie whispered.
"Maddie, what are you- uhg" Emma's word cut short by a grunt as the knife Maddie gabbed into her gut while I sat back and ate popcorn and dragged the knife upward.
"Mary Mack, Mack, Mack,
All dressed in black, black, black
With a knife , knife, knife
In her back, back, back" Maddie sang as some of Emma's blood splashed on her face
I, of course, was using my powers to keep her from bleeding to death or passing out. Maddie then shoved the clear box with the starved rats into her stomach. "Why are you doing this" Emma screamed and withered against the chain and Maddie started to sing again
"Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?"
And the rats stated to eat Emma from inside out
- (Time skip) -
The torture lasted three long days. I finally gave up I stood near her ear and whispered
"You want to die, don't you?" I whispered in her ear breathily
"Yes, yes, yes, yes" she nodded and I snapped her neck and felt no remorse doing so. I was being merciful, because what Emma did to Maddie that is true torture; Emma deserved to be stripped of all her power until she was reduced to the mental state Maddie was in.
"The things we do," Maddie was suddenly next to me and sounded so serious "it is sick isn't it? What is wrong with us, do you think we could stop now, by how far we are in"
I was about to say something but she started to sing again
"Do you ever think as a hearse goes by,
that you may be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet.
They put you in a big black box,
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead."
Her song sounded like she knew a lot about death. It made me think of Kiesha a little bit. They remind me so much of that preacher. In fact I have a few song quotes that suit them.
'Create in me a new heart,
God of my salvation
God of my salvation
Live in me a new life
For you have brought me to greater
You have brought me to greater'
And another one is
'Mighty
Let the righteous rawr
Victorious'
And last
'Jesus
Our hope
El shadai
There is no one like you
None like you
The wind and waves
They will obey
You calm the wildest storms
Mountains move
Oceans roar
You're merciful you're lord'
These are quotes that are given to me and I think it describes Kiesha and Maddie, because no matter what life they had they would always come back up if life pushed them down, because that is what god created them to do.
They were born to be victorious, but people like Emma, shut in that power and hide it from the rest of the world, because people fear what they can't control, especial when they have something to lose.
Maddie was smart and popular and Emma saw that as a threat, so she destroyed any chance of Maddie becoming successful by locking her away.
Kiesha had a talent without magic, she had precise aim with knives, she was strong, but I never found out what happened to her, witches and werewolves always stay with their pack, but because of something that she didn't want and couldn't control, she was left alone. But still, she still survived alone and unloved for fourteen years of her life. She survived.
They survived in a world that didn't want them ever since they were young.
"You know this reminds me of two haikus one of my old friends wrote" Maddie says serious once more
"Really?" I ask
"Yes, would you like to hear it?" she turns to see me nod "the first one is
For once, I will win
And for the first time ever
You will lose to me
And the second one goes like this
Death doom and despair
Three main things in my life
Please don't let them be"
"They are deep, who wrote them?" I ask because the way they a written they remind me of some one
"Her name is Kiesha Fay, she was friends with me and Emma when we were kids" Maddie smiles at the memory but I just freeze. They were friends? They knew each other?
"Maddie, how old are you?" I ask ready for a shock
"I am fourteen, Emma is fifteen and Kiesha would have turned fourteen about four day's ago"
Four days? Four days?! I killed Kiesha the day she turned fourteen, she was practically a child
I am crying again
"How old was Emma when she became rich?" my eyes still wouldn't stop 'sweating'
"She was nine, incredible right, Emma had so much talent, but when she became rich she locked me in the attic and threw Kiesha out on the street"
"How long were you friends?" I felt so sorry for them
"Well a year to the day. One night Kiesha had showed up one our door step cold shaking and alone. Well we thought she was shaking from the cold, but when I grabbed her arm, she was hot, she was shaking because she was crying. That was the only time she had ever cried. She didn't even cry when Emma screamed at her to get out, she just stood and left, even today, I still can't understand, why would she cry like that, what could make someone so strong cry so hard"
I can, was all I thought and suddenly Maddie changed again
"Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose" she sang and ran out of the room
I grabbed Emma's soul which was a greyish yellow the size of a finger nail.
42-42-564
"good job cam, you only need two more and you will forget all about you're little friends" the devil appraised me.
"thank you" I said and laid on the lounge.
Fred…
Fred are you there?
Yeah man, I was just thinking about Kiesha. And you're songs. Her and Maddie were supposed to be victorious, they could have achieved it if they had stayed together. Maddie was stable minded and Kiesha had confidence and strength and Emma had tech.
I rolled over and heard something go crunch. I pick up a book. It was black inside were beautiful drawings, sketches, of animals, people, angels, demons and everything mythological. I looked for a signature and all I saw was a symbol like this
.|././\
"That's Kiesha's signature, it's her name in Elysian code. You're lucky, if she didn't want you to touch it would have burnt you're hand" Maddie said from the door way "I'm going to go get some help with mental stability and hopefully get a new life"
With that she left, the house, the memories, everything for a new beginning just like me. I fell asleep hugging Kiesha's book to my chest.
A/n; hey sorry for the wait, but I would like to know would you like to finds out what has happened to Kiesha Emma and the way emma changed so drastically, have you seen souleater? no, you sould watch it, well she pretty much became a keshin
