Divine Violence

A little prayer

"And they shall say throught the fire you're born again"Are you willing to try? Do you want me to tell you what happened to all those men? Alright, I will tell you, but don't say I did not warn you. Have you said your prayer? Not yet? Well, now it's time, you will stain your soul if you don't. Brothels, Strip Clubs, whore houses are the best places to find men. I worked there because it was easy, she knew me all along, and she knew me way before we moved to this city. Centuries ago I made a pact when Lincoln betrayed me, I asked for the dark to give me power and to let me return to a soul that could be corrupted, that looked like me inside. That was Eve. Sometimes she felt bad about what we were doing but when that happened I took full control of everything. She blacked out and I did the dirty work. It's all connected.

It's a demon in the night

 I found him sleeping on the floor, patheticly, with the same bloody clothes he was wearing that day. Do you think I let him escape from the end? No, I just gave him time, I wanted him, disgraced, with nothing, with just the faith that his poor little lover would come back. Some people think that going inside a prison is difficult. It is not. Most of these officers are men and you cannot possibly think about the horrors that come to their mind when they see a woman. I just need a glimpse, a tiny delicate touch on their hands to see it all. Degradation, that's all they think about, power, not only with women but with themselves, men are so perverted that they had to make up some God that would punish them for the common desires they all have. They had to come up with laws and religions to make them obey and be proper. Humans can't have power, love, or virtues, they turn everything to loathe. But since my death, I found out that there is no God above, but there is one beyond, They are the reason all flourishes and all die. Slaughtering cops are the easiest, their souls are more stained, I know, I saw the atrocities, I can hear the prayers, the cry for God, but do not be mistaken, no remorse is in sight. They taste bitter, the soul reflects the taste in the flash. After devouring them the aftertaste is almost medicinal, like when your mother gives you a syrup and it lingers in the back of your throat. Seducing men doesn't take time at all, just a little glance, turning a lock of hair between my fingers, giggling at the ridiculous little jokes, touching his thighs and he is mine. They kiss me as if I am the only one, like they did nothing wrong all their lives, they never took advantage of a howl for help. The same lies hit my ears, they love me, they need me, they need to feel me. "James?" He was still sleeping, how cute is it, I never leave his mind. "Eve?" I cannot stand when he says her name, she hates it more than everything, the memories, liquor, room 13, the red lights, him touching her after she was gone, but he told her he loved her. That was enough, but not for me. I was there when he bit the forbidden fruit, I lured him, and I finished the act. I tried to spare her from it. The wedding, the control of her life, I was there too, just waiting for her to realize who this man was. Just another hunter waiting to kill the dear. He gave her jewels, and a promise of a better future, he tried to paint a picture where she would be safe, a palace of cards. "Oh, James, It was awful, she had no right to do that, I am so sorry. Come here let me touch you one last time. Look at you, all bloody. How are you sleeping?" "How do you get in? Where are the cops?" he was looking at me scared, confused as an infant discovering the world he lives in. I could almost taste it. "Oh Honey, don't be silly, what cops?" I wanted to touch him like the first time when I draw blood from his lips and he did not care because he was still kissing me. "Look around we are all alone."  "That is true my love, I missed you" The spell was working, it always does, it worked hundreds of years ago and it is still working. "James I need to feel you, to taste you again. Those men, they told me I was special, I should not do it." He looked at me like he remembered the first night we consummated our love, but remembered the blood underneath my nails when I got home late at night. "I forgive you, my love" precious words "Oh, James you should not." He was touching my hand through the bars. I felt his heartbeat, warm and endearing. "You see... they loved me when they were lying beside me, taking my youth away. Now they can live with me eternally, and experience the world inside of me, we are one now James. That is what I want with you, stay with me forever. We were together last life, let us be united again. Let me taste you one last time, I need you so I can survive, let me feast on your body." James looked at me like I was grotesque, he withdrew his hand and started to stroll in circles inside his cell like a new hamster trying to understand the cage he was put in. "Let me have you in a way that no one does, let me remind you how good it is to be inside me. James, come here, look at me. She is not a bad spirit, she helped me, please let us be one. You see, I need to end you so we can be one soul, one body, one mind." "You knew she was doing all that? Eve, how could you?" Tears fell from his eyes and I wanted to swallow it. "Of course, I knew, I let her in." Regret, deception, shame and hate soften the flesh.
