The Godsend Backfire: The Beginning by Harold Straugh (best e reader for academics TXT) 📗

“Odd, a couple days ago you were screaming at me,” I said not forgetting how she treated me a couple days ago, but I forgave her for it.

“I’m sorry! I just get offended when I feel someone is moving in on my territory, I didn’t know your attentions.”

“It’s okay,” I said wondering about Lilith, “She’s real, and I released her, she was imprisoned for a reason, I went against something Jehovah did.”

“And you got struck by lightning for it too,” Mer-Alz-Azkiban said.

“I wonder what’s going to happen now?” I asked.

“Who knows, only time will tell,” she said, and took a step closer to me, next thing I knew she grabbed my crotch.

“What are you doing?” I asked and stepped away.

“I don’t know,” she said and shook her head, as if snapping herself out of a daze, “I just feel attracted to you.”

“I think maybe we should head back, I wonder where Wretch has taken off too?” I said, then I called for him and it wasn’t a minute later that he appeared, trotting along the lake front, making that god-awful noise. “Where do you take off to Wretch?”

He simply neighed and walked by me, but before we could even take a step, people from Gomorrah started coming out of their huts, then Abakanazar appeared, “Is it true? Is Lilith real?”

“Yes, she is,” I said, “and she’s looking for Lucifer.”

Mer-Alz-Azkiban’s mom came up, “What have you done, demon?” she directed her question to me.

“I’m no demon!” I said, that is something, to this day, I still take great offense to.

“I think its time you leave,” Abakanazar said.

The village formed behind Abakanazar, after all I had done for them, protecting them, plowing their field, I do one thing wrong and they shun me.  Truth is I didn’t feel at the time, that I had done anything wrong. I didn’t argue, or kill them, I was still soft and wanted peace, so I left with Wretch and Merz-Alz-Azkiban in tow.

We walked down the path, Wretch stayed between me and Mer-Alz-Azkiban, I found it odd.  About halfway through the walk I sensed my brothers and stopped. I looked around, and called for Wretch and Mer-Alz-Azkiban to stop.  Up until that point, I was enjoying the cool night air.

“What’s wrong?” Mer-Alz-Azkiban asked.

“My brothers are near,” I said.

“We aren’t going to hurt you!” I heard Mylicious say, he was in his human form.

“Derium?” I asked, because last time I checked we didn’t leave on good terms.

“I’m sorry brother, for my actions earlier, baby blood and bloodlust do not go good together. Lucifer talked to me, I realized he needed you alive,” Derium said.

“Why me?”

“Because only the purest of heart, can release the most impure of hearts,” Mylicious said.

“Brothers, have I done a bad thing?” I asked.

“Oh, you’ve done a very bad thing, but it’s going to be so much fun,” Derium said and had a strange look his face.

Wretch neighed and looked at Derium and Derium looked back at him. There was nothing said from Derium, the two just looked at each other. I didn’t like the sinking feeling I had going on in my stomach.

“I think its our time to go, brother.” Mylicious said.

“We will be seeing you around,” Derium said, I didn’t like he sounded.

The two retreated and I still didn’t feel comfortable with Derium’s words and the look on his face.  Soon, they were gone and Mer-Alz-Azkiban, Wretch and I, carried on our way.  The sun started to peak by the time we got back to Sodom. Mer-Alz-Azkiban, said she needed to go to sleep. We parted ways, I then went by the lake

“Well, I guess its just me and you Wretch,” I said and looked over at Wretch, who was sound asleep, “I guess it’s just me,” I said and walked around a little bit.  I could sense something was off, I just didn’t know what.

I made myself useful while people slept, I gathered wood and then tried my hand at fishing.  I stood still with a spear, remembering how they waited and posed.  After about an hour fish came by and I struck with great accuracy, for my first time.  I hit the fish just behind the gills.  I wasn’t nothing for me either to toss the fish up on the bank. After about three hours, I had about a hundred fish on the bank. I was proud of myself.

The people of Sodom started to awake, a few gathered around the pile of fish I had on the bank and few started to pick them up and take them to the cleaning house.  They were all smiles as well, even the ones who hardly smiled before.  At first, I thought they were just happy, but I noticed it was excessive, something didn’t seem right. I noticed then some of them were only half clothed. They were giddy and getting really close to each other, they acted drunk.

Then, I saw Mer-Alz-Azkiban on the shore, she was smiling as well, waving me towards her.  I walked up to her, the water slashing about as I approached the shore.

“Look at all the fish you got. Your clothes are all wet though,” she said and put her hands through into my waistband and tried pulling my pants down.

“What are you doing?” I asked and stepped back.

“Don’t be so shy,” she pressed forward, this time shoving her hand down my pants and grabbed me. I backed off, but she had a firm grip on it and wasn’t letting go.  Then I felt hands around my shoulder and when I turned my head, I saw Jezeberri and before I could do anything she was kissing me.

I jerked away, the two collided into each other, then instantly started fighting, it was a brutal fight.  Cheers arose from
