What's been happening:
~~Gustave had laid on the floor dead for almost 4 months, no one had come to check in on him. His family had died years ago and he was a man who kept to himself and had no proper friends but he was kind to most people around him.

The putrid smell of his apartment stayed there, but then again there was always a putrid smell in his apartment so no one thought anything of it.

Later one day footsteps were heard climbing the apartment, sounding like heels, it was a woman wearing a suite, something strange, why would a women wear a suite?, but no one really cared it wasn't that bad anyway. An old lady asked the gorgeous woman in black who she was as she hasn't been seen before in this apartment, the woman in black smiled

"Everyone knows who I am even your mother has met me"

the old lady laughed

"That's impossible"

the lady in black stared at the old woman before turning to look at her watch, it didn't look like the ones the woman has seen before, the watch looked like it was made from a pure black metal so strange,

"Oh it's your time.."

the old lady replying in a questioning state

"What.."

the woman in black whispered back to the woman

"Shhhhhhh Edith it's time to go"

the woman gently placed her hands on the old lady's cheek and said the word

'Yashen'

as soon as the woman said this the old lady slowly and gracefully collapsed to the floor. The woman returned walking up the stairs as people ran to the old lady on the floor a man screamed to the woman in the suite

"HELP HER!"

the woman said nothing and continued to walk up stairs the man screaming again at her

"BITCH NOT EVEN HELPING THE OLD"

she rolled her eyes as she continuing her way to Gustave's part of the apartment.

The woman revealed a black key from her pocket, almost a pure black if you will as if no light was hitting it and she slowly placed in the key hole and began to turn it to reveal to herself that there was a man, who laid dead on the floor, almost like an alive dead. The woman stared at the body and revealed her voice to the body saying,

"To kill is a sin but to protect your people is not? You were a terrible man and liar Mr Arden but even so your life was wrongfully taken, god has given you a second chance although between business partners, angel to mortal, I wouldn't, personally I fucking hate it when I have to go fix up his mistakes, enjoy your second chance of life, Gustave Arden you certainly won't receive a third"

the woman then saying the word

'Chayah'

the body disappeared nowhere to be seen in Paris or France. The apartment looked normal and clean and the smell was gone, a strange sensation to the people who lived in the apartment but it's a good sensation aswell, most importantly the lady was gone, but there was a note where the lady sat, it said 'Gustave Arden has received a second chance, with a soul, if he is seen committing a sin worse than torture he will lose his soul and it will become property of Azriel"

The note slowly dissipated into a dark vapour, Arden of Paris was never to be heard of again after that.~~

March

She saw them, she saw Aaron and she saw Dianne, she screamed out

"Aaron? Dianne?"

She ran towards them and saw an ocean appear between her and then the water slowly turned red as she saw Aaron bleeding from his eyes he screamed the word

"Maggephah!"

Bernadette wondering what was happening Aaron screamed it again. She screamed and opened her eyes to see the ceiling and the fan was slowly spinning

"Shit it must have timed out"

she turned to see the table with her ash tray and a light but lingering smell of tobacco in the room.

"It was only a nightmare"

she got up and stretched

"I've got to stop having cigarettes after 9".

It looked like it was 10pm or later, the smell of the warm spring air filled the room, a refreshing smell that rid the room of its staleness and made her only crave the smell of toxic tobacco.

That was the only 'true' warm air she enjoyed plus it was the only one that truly made her feel heat and kept her dying lungs at bay. She decided to turn on the radio probably some wannabe band was playing but really she didn't care any band's music would keep her happy at this time at night. The radio burst out with a loud noise "This be Coco's late night treats for yall who are still up enjoying the new record from the Fontane sisters, you keep rocking sistah's" .

Bernadette pulled out another smoke and lit it and decided to go for a walk as there was a limit for her on the amount of cigarettes she could have before employing a true act of health, plus a late night walk always helped her clear her mind and it wouldn't hurt her either. She put on her minx coat and locked up the house before she began to head out, the smell and each toxic breath of tobacco keeping her that bit warmer she looked at her city at night it was somewhat quite

"Is this the shit hole I'm going to live in until I die, no son, no husband no love just boredom and cash?"

she sighed and kept walking.

Her cigarette was almost out before she got somewhat weary of how far she walked. She saw the moon, well half of it she whispered to herself

"Beautiful"

a woman in a suite walked passed,

"It truly is"

said before continuing

"One more month till Passover if I aren't mistaken".

"What a strange thing to wear, a suite? Really? "

Said Bernadette, the woman smiled

"I can tell you know this will be the biggest thing in fashion in 35 years"

and before walking off said the word Maggephah. The word from Bernadette's dream what a strange word, but she felt it meant something important but nothing that'd matter at the moment.

Her midnight stroll continued as she walked past the Louisiana sleep-ezy radio and saw a woman locking up, the woman was wearing a gorgeous pant suite with a floral print of blue and green "What a gorgeous outfit" whispering Bernadette aloud. The woman heard what Bernadette said and turned to see a woman she looked like someone she knew except older. Coco stared at Bernadette before saying

"Watcha lookin at you white skin"

Bernadette knew that voice

"Your Coco?"

she smiled

"Dat be right Darlin"

Bernadette decided to walk with Coco beside there was no issue as both of them were already talking and had no intention of stopping in the next five minutes .

"So watcha doin out sah late?"

Replying to Bernadette in a face of worry. She sighed in a tone of questioning

"Why don't you judge me like everyone else, I've been demonized by my nationality and killed for my beliefs"

Coco confused wondering what she meant,

"I'm sorry but everyone had judged me for being German and Jewish but you don't why?"

Coco smiled

"No Jew has eva called me a Niger, no German has eva called me a Negros, so I show da decency not to be a racist cow to those who aren't racist back"

Coco continued

"But you ain't have answered my question, why you out sah late?"

Bernadette telling her about her dream and Coco replying

"girl sounds tah me you need to be relaxing come on Freak show should be opening now."

Bernadette wondering what 'freaks show' is went along with coco, there's no problem exploring those strange and wonderful things that appear in life.

"Jesus Christ"

said Coco

"It's hot tonight"

Bernadette nodding,

"it's not like this in Germany"

Coco laughed and they continued walking, that freshness of the warm spring air was there but it was intoxicated by a fowl oder of cocktails, drugs and the buildings surrounding 'Freakshow', an almost erotic smell to Bernadette.
They finally reached it

"Madame Patricia's Freakshow, brings back a lot of memories"

Bernadette looked questioning

"You were an erotic dancer"

Coco nodded

"About 15 years ago, I was young and looking for somewhere to sleep, Madame Patricia offered me a spot on her show in return she'd let me stay with her, until I could afford to move out, after 5 years I finally had enough cash to buy a house, nearby hers so I got it but I kept working there for another decade it was good easy money"

Bernadette replying

"Good money for your dignity"

Coco looked mad

"I NEVER GAVE AWAY MY DIGNITTY, JUST REMEMBER I DO NOT JUDGE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE SO DON'T DO THE SAME TO ME GOT IT?"

Bernadette sighed and nodded, "Now let's go in" Coco remarked before fixing her hair.

Coco Flashback 1:
~~

Patricia yelled

"Coco come down here! You're on next after Johana"

Coco screaming back in a rushed tone

"Wait! I'm putting on my bra "

Madame Patricia rolled her eyes and now running up the stairs the doors opened to reveal coco in a white bra, leggings and heels she gave a cheeky smile to Madame Patricia

"Ready"

she then smiled and ran down stairs about to begin her performance Madame Patricia rolling her eyes again

"ugh children"

. At this time coco was 25 and young she was always somewhat poor at the time aswell as a burlesque dancer for 'Madame Patricia's Freak show' a fierce house of burlesque but certainly no brothel, women respected themselves and tried to keep their virginity before marriage.

The band began playing music and coco began to sing something new she wrote but Madame didn't mind some experimentation in her shows, she began to show her voice in such a fierce mannor

"Show a little more show a little less…."

Coco enjoyed herself on that stage it's where she felt her best and were she didn't feel worthless and also strangely enough feeling dominant to the men, although sometimes feeling lesser compared to the other girls who were white as snow in complexion.

Madam Patricia sat at the bar constantly, wondering how she found a jewel of singer and one that has a good body too, for a 25 year old chocolate. Coco finished her set and finished she walked up stair with Madame Patricia following her,

"Great show as always Coco"

Coco smiled back

"Thank you Madame Patricia"

She bowed sarcastically to Madame Patricia, they then began walking

"Are you sure you're going to go home now? And not stay the night, there was some shady men in the crowd tonight "

Coco hugged Patricia

"I know you care for me, but I'll be safe"

Madame Patricia smiled replying

"that's ok darling but ask god for protection when you walk home"

Coco nodded and went into her room and began changing.

Madame Patricia then screamed

"Christine you're on next hurry up darling"

Coco began laughing as she heard the Madame screaming at Christine for being slow. Patricia began talking to Christine

"Christine I need you to do me a favour , distract tommy la rue he's trying to get his hand on Coco and hurt her, I feel it in my blood, show him your breast or let him play with pussoir I don't give a shit comprehend?"

Christine nodded and ran downstairs. Madame Patricia walked into her boudoir feeling a little flustered so decided to brush up. Coco finally finished changing and walked past Madame Patricia's boudoir and knocked on the door

"Madame I'm leaving, also thank".

She began walking outside and slowly made her way home, she felt the cold brisk winter air on her soft skin and a lovely smell winter made for Coco. it was dark and she began dancing her way home, a woman in the suite Coco stared at her and slowly whispered

"Lesbian"

the woman stopped and turned to coco

"You talk about my problems when yours are much worse? ask forgiveness when the plagues come, use the blood of the lamb"

Coco wondered what problems the lady was talking about? Coco asked

"Who are you, what plagues?"

the woman was nowhere in sight and coco kept walking home and only to forget about it.

Coco finally arrived home she opened the door and stretched like a cat, only to see a man in her living room, the same man Madame Patricia warned her about. Coco was frightened and the man was laughing

"What's up sugar tit's",

Coco stared at him wondering how he got in

"Who the fuck are you"

he walked to her and she screamed

"Get away from me please, I have no money"

the man laughed and said

"I don't want money burr head"

he walked towards her and felt her breasts and said

"You know what I want sweetheart, I want to pry those chocolate legs of yours open and then.."

Coco began to cry and scream

"GET AWAY FROM ME, HELP! HELP!".

She hit him with her hands and clawed her nails into his flesh and tried to drag it off, the man cringed

"Ugh …..stupid…bitch"

he raised his arm and punched her multiple times in the face until her nose started bleeding.
She was weak and was slowly crying, bawling in a weak croaky voice

"Fine do what you want with me just stop hitting me"

she slowly pulled out her nails, they were all bloody and had pierced the man's suite and skin.
The man slowly opened her legs and ripped her pants open, she heard his pants slowly unzip and felt every horrendous moment of what was happening.

She turned her head to see her friend, the woman in white and her blonde hair, Coco whispered "Please help me" the woman looked at her with a face of worry before slowly nodding her head and fading away.

Madame Patricia was about to finish her show and then suddenly the same woman in white appeared to her, only she couldn't see her, 'She' slowly put her ghostly hand in Madame Patricia, Patricia gasped for air as if she felt her life was draining out of her, the almost spirit looked and felt alive 'she' then dragged her full body into Madame Patricia , Madame Patricia then gave a final scream before her body was in control by the woman in white. Joanah ran up to see what was wrong

"Madame, are you alright?"

Madame fixed her hair

"I haven't felt alright since 1962 since I had the drugs"

Joanah laughed

"Nice joke"

the Madame began to leave the Freak show to Coco's She then began running, running to coco's apartment, whoever this woman was she cared for her,

"This body is so awfully tight"

Madame Patricia said, well her possessed self.
Finally arriving to Coco's apartment she saw the door opened and pulled out Madame Patricia's unique handgun and said

"Bitch you better catch the drift and know what to do"

before the woman in white pulled herself out of Madame Patricia's body.

Madame Patricia was really faint "What where am" before rubbing her head, Coco screamed again

"HELP"

but she was losing her voice, thankfully Madame Patricia knew what was happening as she saw the handgun in her hand she opened and saw the man on top

"You son of a bitch, YOU ASSHOLE"

she lifted her gun and shot at the man in the knee cap he screamed before pulling 'it' out from Coco she ran into her room to put something on as the man ruined her clothes, Madame Patricia stared fierily at the man

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO CHRISTINE AND COCO?"

the man laughing and said

"Nothing woman, but I don't see why you care for the chocolate and the blonde whore"

Madame Patricia let an inferno of rage on the man

"A LIFE IS A LIFE YOU ASSHOLE"

She shot the man in the other knee cap

"YOU ARE COMING BACK TO FREAKSHOW WITH US AND YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR SINS THERE" ~~

A voice yelled

"MACY YOU'RE ON IN 19 MINUTES GET THE BUNNY COSTUME ONE"

Coco knowing it was Madame Patricia whilst Bernadette wondering who it was, almost like a faux French accent . They kept walking to find a woman wearing a little black dress and heels so devilish and red, the woman turned around and stared at Bernadette

"Madame you are not supposed to be back stage"

Before Bernadette could speak she turned to Coco

"OH MY GOD COCO! WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?",

Coco began to hug the woman

"Me and my friend are here to catch the last bit of the show"

Madame Patricia smiled and began walking back stage as Macy came, Macy began talking to Madame Patricia and burst in with such

"Madame something has happened!"

Madame Patricia sighed

"what? What happened can't you see I'm busy girl!"

Macy began whispering in Madame Patricia's ear, Madame Patricia's face quickly turned to one of dismay

"SHIT! Excuse me ladies I need to deal with something just go get seated",

and Macy pondered a question to Madame Patricia

"Should I come with you or should I just continue with the show?"

Madame Patricia didn't know what to do

"Umm just go on with the performance Macy we don't want to scare anyone"

so Macy went on stage and began.

What Macy had said:

"Madame, Chloe was doing a private show for a gentleman and he wanted to play 'doctor' and there's blood everywhere and she's not breathing"

Madame Patricia's calm look turned to a look of dismay

"Excuse me ladies I need to deal with something just go get seated"

and Macy pondered a question to Madame Patricia

"Should I come with you or should I just continue with the show?"

Madame Patricia didn't know what to do

"Umm just go on with the performance Macy, we don't want to scare anyone"

so Macy went on stage and began to perform.

Madame Patricia walked to the booth and saw Chloe on the floor struggling, Madame Patricia stared in horror

"Jesus Chloe, I'm going to take you up to my boudoir and you can rest there while I try to heal you, "

Chloe slowly nodded but she was still bleeding out so she tore off a piece of her dress and placed it on her wound.

"Madame I'm feeling tired…."

Chloe mourned as Patricia looked over her body, Tears started pouring from Patricia's eye's and it ruined her eyeliner,

"Shhh baby don't say that you've always been a good girl and I know Jesus wouldn't let a star like you go"

a voice screamed for the Madame

"MADAME COME QUICK WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

the Madame rolled her eyes

"Chloe you hold on DON'T LEAVE"

Chloe nodded slowly and Madame Patricia walked out to the right.

The exact second she walked out to the right, the woman in the suite walked in from the left and the door quickly shut in and locked itself without even a touch, the woman took a seat.

"NONE OF THE PROPHETS HEARD MY CALL! DECADES I HAVE GIVEN WARNING TO ALL OF THEM, TO PREACH MY WARNINGS OF FAITH AND NOT ONE"

Chloe started to slowly bleed from her nose but very slowly

"AND NOW I'LL GIVE MY STRONGEST WARNING, GOODBYE CHLOE GROADABEAN"

A cockroach came out from under the bed

"Akal Ha Shawmut!",

more cockroaches came out, swarms and swarms of them and they headed into Chloe's mouth she gagged trying to say something, the woman in the suit laughed at the girl as she checked on the roaches

"I can't hear you over the cockroaches and blood",

her eyes started to produce blood instead of tears and her pupils slowly became clouded over with black.
You could now see the imprint of cockroaches swarming in under skin and you could see the girl in such horrible pain, the blood started pouring from every hole in her body, the pain was immense and the woman in black stood up and walked towards Chloe, who was dying, She stared at the girl fiercely before screaming

"THIS IS JUST A SMALL TASTE OF THE PLAGUES I INTEND TO BRING".

The woman touched the dying girl's face and released the poor girls soul from the body, the woman in black wasn't seen anywhere in the room although she had left her warning, a dead husk filled with roaches and covered with blood.

Bernadette went up to the bar she quenched for a good scotch on the rocks, the warm sensation of the alcohol was a strong reminder of her younger life in Germany, pre-war, when her and her soon to be husband went camping in the forests and how he always snuck in a large bottle of 1808 labelled scotch which he stole, Scotch doesn't rot your insides it only gave you a warm fuzzy feeling when in the company of a loved one. She remembered there talks during those nights and the stories he told her about Witches in the forest.

Bernadette flashback 4

"Dominik we shouldn't be here"

remarked the young German woman to her boyfriend.

"Don't worry Bernadette I told my parents I was going hunting with James"

implied Dominik who had the bottle of 1808 aged scotch they'd stolen, The Girl's face quickly changed to a face of question

"Who's James?"

Dominik shrugged

"I don't know but apparently I'm hunting with him",

Bernadette laughed really loud

"You sneaky devil "

he turned around to her and remarked

"Oh I'm a sneaky devil am i?"

he slowly put his hand on the girl's thigh and pulled down her underwear slowly she then stared at him

"Here? Seriously….. I am shocked and appalled at the thought you'd think I'd have sex in the bush"

Dominik's face quickly changed from sexually tempted to sad, Bernadette continued with her rant

"What makes you think I'd have sex in the forest….. WITHOUT GETTING DRUNK?!"

she began to laugh again at Dominik, who thought she was being serious his look quickly changed from sad and began laughing with Bernadette.

She sat on Dominik's lap holding the bottle of scotch she took a gulp of

"Jesus this shit's disgusting I don't see why people like it" Dominik gave out a slight giggle. Bernadette got down on top of him face to face, she pulled her head towards his ear

" Simon says pull my panties down"

and so Dominik followed and pulled down her underwear she then flipped him on top before whispering in a sexual manner

"Simon says, Put your hands on my….. "

and so he did aswell as slowly kissing her neck as he pulled slowly across to her mouth, that was the first part of the night that happened in the woods.

After they had sex the night continued with Dominik telling stories about a coven, that roamed the woods they were in

"Apparently there head witch is called Alisa, you know the one who got rid of the orphanage"

Bernadette laughed

"She sounds like a bitch"

Dominik began speaking of their abilities just to scare Bernadette, she hugged him

"God damit Dominik your scaring me "

the night slowly pulled away at their talk and soon they fell asleep.
