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

The crowd chit-chatted and stared at me then I heard Noemi’s voice, “Causing trouble already Feher Demon?”

Then I spoke up, “My name Roldian, I am here to slay these vampires. If you cause me no harm, I will cause you no harm.”

“It’s true, he has helped me in Baja, we have no demons there,” Noemi said and handed me garments.

“How do you know they will fit?” I asked puzzled.

“He looked at you through the door, he knows his measurements.”

“How did he make them so fast?” I asked sill puzzled.

“He makes up clothes in advance different sizes, all the time. He saw you, grabbed what he had.”

There was a little frustration on her voice, “Thank you,” I said, “There are graves here, I can’t leave without showing them.”

So, we asked them to show where the graves were at.  The big fella was still resting comfortably at my feet when the elder with the glazed over eyes, ironically, led the way.  We walked backed a little the way we came and then veered to the right, just before river and then walked into a heavily wooded area and down a hillside.  There were sixteen fresh graves.

“I’m glad you all brought something to dig with, this is going to take some time, even with my strength and speed,”

They sat back and watched as I dug up the first grave.  With it being heavily wooded I had to drag the body out into an opening before the sun hit it.  Flames and screams shot out and gasps from the villagers came to my ears. “You might want to get busy, instead of standing there” I said to them and they slowly got started.

I dug up three more graves as the villagers dug up the rest.  The whole time I was thinking about my new clothes, my old ones stunk, as so did I.  I finished up my last grave and then told Noemi I was going to the river, she then tossed me a rounded, wax disk and told me to wash with. It was the firs bar of soap I had ever seen.

I got on Sabor and patted the side of his neck, then I went out to the river.  I stripped down, taking the soap disk with me and first washed my dirty clothes, the soap had musky and lilac smell to it. I walked the clothes up to a rock on the bank and left them there to dry, as I headed back into a swift part of the water. I went down waist deep and started scrubbing with the soap.

I then noticed a school of fish swimming around me about five inches away from me. Then there was turtle, massive in size and a tail like a alligator, but with a little mace-like tail.  I took a step towards them and they swam off.  They came back a few minutes later and then I walked a little down stream and they followed. I then decided to sit down in the river.  The turtle came up beside me first, the fish swam around me, I could feel them brush up against me every now and then.

I heard a splash behind me and Sabor was in the water, splashing around, it was almost like he was jealous of the fish and turtle being around me, “It’s okay boy, you have nothing to worry about,” I said, then got out.

I walked over to the new clothes Noemi gave to me and looked at them. They were definitely white, I put the pants on first, no underwear back in those days, they fit well, bagged out at the legs and then fit snug around the ankles. There were little draw strings so you can tighten the cloth around the ankles.  There was a white long-sleeve shirt and, white vest, the shirt though had a surprise, a hood. I liked it, it helped hide my white hair and then two purple disks fell out, much like the red ones I used to have.  When I picked them up, they had wire fashioned to them. One wire between the two pieces and a wire off each piece. They fashioned to my face much like glasses, and fit better than the red ones I had. I put the hood on and noticed a flap with buttons and two slits on the other side of the hood.  The flap fit over my mouth and button to the other side off the hood.

“I had him add a few things!” I heard Noemi say and when I turned around, she stood there naked. She was every bit as chiseled as I was. She had a very muscular chest for a woman, muscles formed a V at her waist much like mine and if not for a visible vagina, she could have easily had passed as guy, “Szappan!” she said and held out her hands.  I assumed she wanted the soap disk, so I tossed it to her and looked away.

“Don’t be shy Roldian, I wasn’t when I was watching you. You are as white as snow,” she laughed.

“You watched me?”

“Curiosity, if I weren’t into women, I’d be into you. I like your muscles….all of them,” she said and walked by me, bumping me with her hip, with a smile on her face.

I had no desire after Lilith to ever touch a woman again, the thought hadn’t crossed my mind up until that point.  I watched as she walked by, her tone ass firming up with each step. I oddly found her very attractive, but Sabor snorted and took my attention away.

“I’m starting to think you are Lucifer,” I said, expecting him to change into Lucifer, but he didn’t.

I took my mouth flap and glasses off and after Noemi bathed, we headed back to Tolna, where the big, sleeping beauty, was up. He just gave me a
