Summary
David had never given much thought to Karla while she was alive. She had been pretty but plane; boring bordering on strange. Just another classmate haunting his highschool's hallways.
But after she died she became his obsession.
Now she came to his window every night, wearing only what he had dreamed of her wearing that day.
The Necromancers
They hated everything human; swearing their wrathfull revenge, even as they were lowered, then buried, into and under the hollowed ground.
They were the Necromancers; the Dead that ruled over the other dead.
Their hands and feet were bound with silver chains. Their tendons were severed. Cloves of garlic were seen into their mouths and tied around their necks. Copper coins forced their burning eyes shut. Holy water sprinkled over all.
Inside of their minds they screamed in agony. Once buried in the earth there would be nothing for them but to continue their journey into madness and rage. They were to be contained, not killed. The deaths of their bodies would free these Demons. Alive they were confined.
But the surrounding dead all around who loved them stirred, and they were not alone.
Inside every town or city there would always be the living that secretly aligned themselves with the Necromancers. Their hatred for other people rivaled their dark masters. They were the eyes and swords of their evil lords.
As the Necromancers were buried into the ground these spies and assassins of mankind would secretly gather together and conspire; chanting in blasphemous prayer;
"Burned by the light
Blinded of sight
The sun's early rays
Cause our decay
Hatred of Wise
All we despise
Love dies away
Cause our decay
Blinded of thought
All we have fought
All that you fear
Is all that we want
Love fades away
Cause our decay
Won't be a slave
Go to our grave."
Karla
Lee Summit, Missouri. Fall, 2024.
David had never given much thought to Karla while she was alive. She had been pretty but plane; boring bordering on strange. Just another classmate haunting his highschool's hallways.
But after she died she became his obsession.
Now she came to his window every night, wearing only what he had dreamed of her wearing that day. She whispered to him her secrets; told him about the changes to her body, and the changes coming to the world around them.
"The night will rule the daylight," she whispered to him. "The Dead will rise to enslave the Living, and my Family will return to our rightful place as the Masters of the filthy human race. I will be your Mistress. You will be my favorite slave, with all my other slaves serving with you as their Head Master."
"Okay," David would agree with her ever whisper..
And then they would play.
The Demons of the Night.
Anywhere in the world that you may travel, in every country and culture, you will find the Vampire; these parasites of the living. Each type varies in appearance and size, but all are the same. Only the way we perceive them changes from one to the next.
None possess any true physical form; only what our minds will grant them.
The Wurdurlac in Russia. The Vrykolacas in Greece. The Scottish Burach Bhadi. The North American Boo Hag. From South America comes the Bruxa and Bruha. The Chinese Jiangshi. The Asabosam from Africa, also known as the Sasabosam.
Different names for the same Evil, all serving the same Master. All united in their hatred for Mankind, their greatest anger and cunning reserved for the more pure of heart.
They wait aggressively in the shadows, poisoning the air and reality around them. They wait for their time to enslave or destroy, feeling this time coming closer with the end of each wicked day.
The time to end the Rule of Man.
Tongues like Serpents
"David, open this door at once!" his mother demanded. "I want to know who is in there with you!"
"Nobody is in here!" David lied. "I was asleep!"
"No, you were not! I heard you talking to someone!"
"I was talking in my sleep!"
"No you were not! I heard a girl's voice!"
"I was talking to the cat, and answering in a girl's voice!"
"No, Whiskers is out here with me, and she is scared to death about something! What did you two do to her?"
"I was acting out a play for school, and I was doing both parts! It must have scared her!"
"David, I heard a girl's voice, and it wasn't you! Now open this door like I told you to!"
David opened it. "There, you see? There's no one in here!"
"Why is that window open?"
"I got hot, so I opened it! What's the big deal?"
"Oh, David, whoever that girl was, she has something seriously wrong with her. You would have to be demented to say those things! Don't you know that?"
David knew.
From Out of the Ground.
As the Necromancers were buried the conspirators against mankind would watch from within there hiding places. As soon as the last man left, they would go to their Master's graves and revive them.
When the last Necromancers were found and removed from the ground, they found that once united with their own kind they now had a power that they had never possessed before individually.
They found that now together they could make all that had ever died rise again.
Six Servant Slaves
Karla had promised David six slaves of his own, that she would only defile once, then they were his, to do with as he chose.
David spent weeks chosing the appropriate ones.
Melinda, from next door.
Midsy, from second period math.
Angela, his old baby sitter.
Mrs Evans, his science teacher.
Miss Hooper, his English teacher.
Miss Gladstone, from the supermarket.
And Gary, from down the street.
