TARTERUS - HELL

THIRTEEN.

Experientia 1

A few words before I start

If you don't mind, I'm gonna write in a different script. I tried to think of how this could be told that had nothin to do with my normal, that's a laugh, life, like you dudes. When I really had deep and meanings with my brain it always came out the same. There was no way in Hell or Earth that a child of the Devil and Celestial could possibly have a life like yours.

◦ Do you live forever? No

◦ Do you have flames that flare out your fingertips when you are mad at someone? No

◦ Can you suck the essence outa any living thing if you touch them or it? No

◦ lastly, are you or have you ever been a child of Celestials? If you have, I have great empathy because they have f****d up my life so far.

Now that I have got that off my chest I'll get on with the rest of the story, unless of course you're bored with it and gone to play games on your cell. Even if it never gets made into a book at least it is out in the open how I feel. Note with the time I had on your little planet my spelling aint got any better. I only am doing this to annoy Pa and Grandpa. Even though I love them all to bits and can, when I want, to speak and write quite well. How's that for posh!

It started blast too small Try again

It began when I went to get outa bed in the morning. No idea what morning as Pa and Grandpa mucked up the time again? How did I know because I was back to being thirteen again? Was I never gonna get out of my thirteenth year? They didn't muck up my mind thankfully because I remembered coming home to my flat in London with my friend Marcus. We had some nosh and played chess. He beat me this time. And then he leaned over and went to kiss me. My age was sixteen then.

'No Marcus, don't, I cried out.

'Why not Ruby you like me I think a lot. I would never do anything to harm you because I like you heaps. And anyway, your father would probably punch me out if I did.'

See this is where my life sucks. I was aching to lock lips with him. It didn't matter how much I wanted to I just couldn't.

'Pa, please just this once without him getting hurt,' I called. One of my new talents when I turned sixteen was to cause people to nod off for a few minutes or so if I wanted to talk to Pa.

Next minute my semi-invisible father was standing between Marcus and me with his body shielding Marcus. 'You can kiss me on my hand and I can pass it onto the boy without him being harmed.'

'No Pa can't I feel his lips, just once.'

'My darling even I can't do that. I am so sorry for ruining your love life. Eventually in a few Celestial years you will find your true love.' Pa faded.

Marcus came out of his dream and had a big smile on his face. 'Oh Ruby, that was fantastic.'

My father gave me a big grin through my mirror. If only he wasn't so powerful, but I thanked him. At least one of us got a kiss. But that also got me thinkin, my Pa and Grandpa were able to do whatever, sorry, said it again, so how come they couldn't allow me to feel Marcus's lips on mine. I had a feeling they didn't want me to kiss any boy, not just Marcus.

"One of these days I was going to have a deep and meaningful discussion with the pair of them," ran through my head.

The night ended and Marcus left me and he was singing as he bounded down the four flights of stairs from my place.
