Kaiden's P.O.V
"You are Marco's brother, right?" asked Crimson.
"Yes!" Josh replied with his voice going an octave higher than his normal voice in surprise.
His face said it all. He didn't think she knew he was there, let alone to talk to him.
"Marco will be happy he won't need to hide his secret when he gets back. We will talk more about it in the morning. Meanwhile, Red head and the little brother will go home with the artist and protect her during the night."
Suddenly there is a vicious growl in the air. Everyone looks at Zesty and then a loud sound happens right after, Zesty's head is turned to the side. Crimson Just slapped him hard across the face leaving her hand print visible in a red outline on his white skin.
"I understand why, you did that but you will respect me and my authority, pup. I know, you know her. So, you know where she lives. Your punishment will be dropping them off, then coming to my place. I will fill you in on the faker's punishment."
They both take a few moments to calm down. He knows her? Who is she to him? How? Then as Crimson rubs her hand she walks to the girl.
In a soft voice she asks the young girl,"Honey, I truly love your piece. Where did you get the inspiration?"
Sally replied in a small voice"A dream I can't stop having."
What? Her, too?
"Thank you, for answering me. I hope you kids can forgive me for slapping Zesty. The inner circle has harsh rules and pecking orders. Right, Zesty?" She said as she turns to him.
He nods once. His face clearly shows he is not happy with it but has no choice but to follow her orders. Then disappears from the same black hole she came from. I realize that we are riding in Zesty's car. Knowing there is a girl riding with us, me and Josh will sit in the back on our own accord. I bolted to the car. Headed straight for the seat behind the driver side. Zesty restored this beauty. But on the inside, the back seats to be exact, didn't need anything done. There is one seat still usable and the other is uncomfortable as hell. Not long after I moved I heard feet moving.
"No way, you fucking bastard! That seat is mine!" yelled Josh.
I opened the car door swiftly but carefully. I am not looking for a beating. I push the front seat back and plop my butt on top of my prize. Josh gets to the door looking annoyed and I return it with a shit grin. As if that shit was normal to us. We are just glad no one went to the hospital tonight.
"Whose seat is it today?" I ask smugly.
"A fucktard's" said Josh.
Before I had the chance to retort we heard,"Josh get your ass in the car or I will make you ride in it upside down the whole way."
At that Josh hops in the car. He makes a face and a wheeze sound. He has tears in his eyes. I am surprised. I think I know what happened.
"Dude, did you just sit on your balls?" I ask.
He nods his head yes. I burst out laughing. I know that shit hurts worst than a mother fucker. It is also funny as hell! How did he do that? All he had to do was sit. How did he mess that up? I heard 2 other laughs with mine. I almost stopped laughing just to hear the fullness of the angel's laughter. Zesty and Sally were seated in the car. Zesty turns around with a perplexed look on his face while chuckling.
"Kid, how did you manage to sit on your balls while getting in the car?" Zesty asked.
"Let's.........just.........go." Josh managed to say in a fetal position.
At that we head off. the tension is not bad. Well, at least there was no heavy tension in the air. We are all in our own heads. It doesn't take long to get to her house. She hops out quickly and heads inside. It dawns on me that the house looks familiar.
I have to ask,"Zesty, who is she to you?"
We are at Zesty's house. He works out of his garage. Never letting anyone inside, for any reason. Hell, not even to use the restroom.
"My sister" is all he says.
"Understood, sir. Our lives are on the line for her. I know you made it safe, but it also means we will give her the utmost respect in the world. Right, Josh."
"Yes sir, we will be on.... our best behavior." he slowly got out.
This was not buddy to buddy. This was a gangster to the boss. One of the bosses anyway, I have yet to meet The Boss.
"Good, I have wolves in there. I do not mean wolf dogs or dogs that look like wolves. They are actual wolves. They love and care for my sister. Just be careful, I thought I should warn you." said Zesty.
"How many?" I ask.
"3, one of them is fairly new. Just be careful." Zesty finishes before waving us away.
I give him the money from this shift. Then I shut the car door and he pulls away. The house is one story with a 2 car garage. Pale light blue for the outside and a yellow front door. The windows have bars on the outside. It has a concrete path with only a concrete step going to the door. We both walk in.
"Hey, we are locking the front door." said as I shut and locked the door.
No response, but I was not expecting one. The living room was fairly cozy and large with a long black couch towards the front and another black couch to the side and a large flat screen TV parallel to that and with white walls and soft carpet. Far to the back of the room is a doorway which seems to lead to the kitchen.
"Bro, what are the chances of her dreaming the same dream that you and your sister have almost every week? On top of the fact her paintings look exactly like Janet's drawings?" asks Josh.
"If that is the case, then she will dream more than just the souls being moved like clay. It is scary, man. You might hear screaming from her being scared. It's so freaky how it feels like a memory. But let's hit the hay. I am tired." I said
Josh nods in agreement. I grab one of the couches and get comfy. My thoughts go to the teacher of Crimson. Just who the hell is she? We head to bed, not realizing they were being overheard.
A woman wearing a grey robe walks on top of a metal fence gracefully, in one of the many backyards, stops near one particular house. No shoes to be found on her and yet it seems that the weight of her body doesn't bend the metal. Her long salt and pepper hair dance in the wind behind her. Her young appearance does not show her true age but her grey eyes do.
"Witch of Reincarnation!" calls out the woman in grey.
An elderly woman comes out of the particular to greet the woman in grey. She is already in her night attire. Looks like she has been woken up earlier.
"Witch of Divides and Balances, what brings you here? It must be of importance for you to have come yourself." says the witch of rebirth.
"Yes, it is. The evil soul is almost here in our world from another. Knowing you would be involved somehow, I thought it best to warn you in person. For it affects the balances in our world." says the witch of Divides and Balances.
"Thank you, for the heads up. You were correct to assume I will be involved. How much time do I have to prepare?" asks the witch of rebirth.
"At least 2 weeks."
"Thanks and goodbye Grey"
"Your welcome, good bye Elder"
The woman on the back porch thinks for a moment. It must have been fate to put all of this together in one night. Fate you are kind to this old woman, thank you. A soft breeze brushes over her shoulders as if to respond as she goes back inside her house.
