Chapter 12 House Party

Seven years ago. . .

It was Friday night. Several teenagers were partying inside of a house. The owners had left the house alone while away. The kids had only taken advantage of the situation.

Load music was playing over the speakers. Some strobe lights had been set up. A keg had been set up in the kitchen and the beer was flowing.

Elisha, now a teen, walked through the crowd. However, she wasn't engaging in any of her fellow teenagers. She was wearing her black pants with a white blouse and black sweater. Her light colored hair had been dyed black. She still wore the cross necklace from her mother.

Slowly Elisha made her way towards a group who were huddled around a computer.

The group was applauding what they were watching on the screen.

"Play it again!" One girl shouted.

"Hey, Lisa." Another girl shouted towards Elisha.

"Elisha," she corrected walking over.

"Have you seen this shit yet? This is sick." The girl said grabbing at Elisha and pulling her close. "Seriously, I can't wait for this movie to come out."

Elisha walked over and looked at the video that they were staring at.

She saw the line at the top of the video, Its Not Too Late! Raphael's Punishment Has Begun. The video showed a couple walking into their bedroom, unknowing. Then a third entered. The third killed the man first and then the woman.

Elisha focused on the face of the third man, the one that killed the couple. She reached inside the pocket of her pants and pulled out a locket. Carefully she opened the locket, inside was the picture of Tobias that was found hidden a few years ago.

She looked at the face on the photo and the video, "Tobias." Elisha whispered.

The screen then cut to a shot of the man in a hood talking to the camera. He talked about sinners and the need for those to be punished. The man then said Leviticus 26:18.

"If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over." Elisha said at the same time as the man on the screen.

The group looked at Elisha like she was crazy.

"Wow," the girl that pulled Elisha over said. "How?"

"Tobias." Elisha said. "Play it again."

The teenage boy who was working the computer started the video again.

For a moment, Tobias looked at the camera.

"Pause it," Elisha demanded.

The boy hit pause on the video. The teenagers looked at Elisha holding the locket and staring blankly at the screen. "It's him," she said moving away from the group.

She started walking backwards towards the door and then ran.

"I told you she was some kind of freak." The other teenage girl said to the group.

Elisha ran out of the house and down the street. She circled around at the corner and ran further. She finally stopped when she came to an alley. Elisha stopped and slumped down in the shadow of the fence.

"Tobias," Elisha said holding the locket. "Why?"

Elisha looked over towards the source of a sound. It was coming from a garbage can in the alley. The noise repeated then a cat appeared from behind the garbage can. It looked at Elisha quizzically.

"Jezzy?" Elisha asked towards the cat. It was black with a white strip across the stomach. It looked like the same cat that she had at the school.

The cat meowed in response.

Elisha stood shaking her head. "No, I killed you. I put poison in the scraps to kill you!"

The cat seemed to be staring straight through Elisha. "Help Tobias, help your brother."

"No," Elisha said shaking her head.

"They all suffer from vanity and debauchery" The voice continued to come from the cat. "They can't be saved. They are unrepented sinners."

"Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." Elisha quoted from Leviticus.

"Sinners are to be struck down." The voice continued from the cat. "Find Tobias and help him."

Elisha continued to shake her head no.

"The work of the lord must be done." The cat continued to stare at Elisha.

Elisha responded by running down the alley. She circled around again and came to the alley behind the house that the party was at. She stayed in the shadows and listened to the activity that was going on inside of the house.

Tears were pouring slowly down her face.

A teenage couple stumbled out into the alley. The two started making out against the fence. They were unaware that Elisha was watching them. The boy started to run his hands up the girl's skirt. The girl responded by pushing the boy's hand down.

Elisha stayed in the shadows has the scene played out.

"Don't you see what you do to me?" The boy said rubbing himself against the girl.

"You're disgusting!" The girl said pushing him off.

"Come on, its not like you haven't seen one before." The boy said grabbing a hold of the girl.

"Yeah I have," the girl said before kneeing the boy hard in the groin. The strike was followed by a slap across the face.

The boy fell in the fetal position on the ground. "You little slut." He made a grab for her ankle pulling the girl down. "You'll pay for that." He started to move to be on top of her.

The girl responded by kicking at the boy's face with her free leg.

She then got up and moved back into the house.

The boy remained huddled on the ground for a moment and then got up. He was bent at the waist, still holding his groin.

Elisha looked down and saw an old hammer by her foot. She picked it up stealthily and held it out of sight. She stepped out of the shadows towards the boy.

"What you some kind of girl peeping tom?" The boy said towards Elisha.

"Because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband." Elisha said calmly. "Showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered."

"What the. . ."

The boy didn't get a chance to finish the sentence. Elisha swung the hammer, making contact with the boys head. She continued with the blows. On the fifth the hammer broke.

The boy's head was covered in blood from the strikes.

Elisha started breathing heavily. She backed away from the teenage boy.

"For Tobias." Elisha said in between gasps. She looked up when she heard the sirens. Elisha ran tossing the hammer in one of the garbage cans along the way.
