Chapter 3

The day of the soul rise was very long all day there was a party. The mens village was allowed to join. A lot of banshee got pregnant during a soul rising her mother was no exception that is how she was born. Selah sat on her mother's and generational Banshees throne which possessed something each Banshee left behind for the new Queen.  She sat with her legs crossed as Banshee hooped, hollered and danced half naked with men with visual hard on's. The suns was down thank the Gods.

She was these with these new horns killing her. Selah grimaced every time she moved her head. She stepped down men and women bowed to her. When she walked in her old tent the loud ululating continued. Selah looked around making sure she was alone she went in a Louis Vuitton purse a requester offered her to avenge her against a rapist. She was young but it was all she had. Hell a rapist Selah would have done it for free. The girl left a bottle of motrin in the bag by accident. She took two for the first time since she got the pills a year ago. She also had volume from a woman and bottle of percocet that came in handy when her mother broke her ankle from a man. 

Western meds were forbidden but these horns were killing her and she needed some sort of relief. Not ten minutes later she closed her eyes the pain leaving thank the stars she whispered sipping a glass of moon shine. Selah exhaled feeling 80% better. She put her ceremonial cape back on. It dragged behind her as she walked in the empty village back to the river Castor. Did you likely roses?

Selah grabbed her chest you scared me. Sorry my Queen. Yes thank you i needed them my mom had just went to limbo and...well they made me think of something else if even a fleeting moment thank you. You look beautiful in the double moon light. Thank you Joel. You remembered my name? Yes she grinned holding her head. Are you okay my Queen? The horns made my head sore I will be okay.

Wait here Joel was gone two minutes when he returned he was chewing a leaf. He pulled it from his mouth it was wet and pasty. He reached up Selah backed up you just took that out your mouth. Do you want the pain to stop? The healer gave me a tea. Did it work my Queen? Selah bent her head I must be crazy. You aren't crazy you are wise and no longer wish to be in pain.

There let it dry rinse it in the morning you will have soreness but no more pain i assure you. If you are wrong Joel? Then haunt me with you Banshee scream he bowed his head. Heheh she giggled. Go now soon they will come for you my Queen I will watch as you walk back. Wont you come Joel? Next time my Queen I have a sow in labor.

Selah grinned okay Joel she waved making it back to the river bank when she looked back he was gone. Selah sat on her chair when Malachi stepped up permission to approach my Queen? Yes her female guards let him pass. He sat im the chair next to her did our mother tell you who I am? She said nothing I am Malachi the first of eight children our mother bore you are the eighth. Selah grinned she told me of you.
