The Harper Generations

Back at it again

Misty

After Christmas break, we returned to school with a clear new path. Oh, who was I kidding? We had no clear path, vision, or purpose. But did we ever?

With this new lease on life, we intended to enjoy it while kicking demon ass. We finally decided it was a demon instead of a thing. It made our lives less complicated.

"How the hell did you get holy water?" Ryan asked Preston.

"I filled a bottle from the finger bowls at the church when no one was looking," Preston said, waving a small spray bottle of water at us.

"You stole holy water. How does that work?" River asked.

"I didn't steal it." Preston rolled his eyes. "I borrowed it. It's not like they can't bless more."

"Do you plan to give it back?" Michael asked.

"Not if I use it."

"Newsflash: you stole it. You're going to hell."

"Then, I'm taking all of you with me." Preston smirked.

"Out of curiosity, how will we test this out?" Tino asked.

"We wait until someone walks by. I spritz them with holy water. If they're a demon, they'll burn like a mofo. I even brought a cross with me." Preston shoved a medium-sized cross in our faces.

"Great. We're relying on Preston's memory of his ministry days. We're doomed," Ryan said.

"Ye have little faith."

"I have no faith after that stunt you pulled with my wedding."

"That was my first wedding. Ah, memories." Preston smiled.

"Memories? You got ordained online," River said.

"I still became a minister."

Remember when I said we had no clear path? This was it. We kept getting sidetracked by previous events.

"You figure out the demon hunting. We're heading to class," Tino told the others before leading me away.

"When did we turn into the demon busters?" I asked.

"When we figured out what was happening."

We walked into class and took a seat. I want to focus on my relationship with Tino, but Preston has other ideas for us.

Thanks to Preston, the lyrics say something strange is happening in the neighborhood, and it keeps playing in my mind. Halfway through the teacher's lecture, I tuned him out because he was boring. It's not like I needed to pay attention in history class since I was living proof of the past returning.

The rest of the school day was pretty much the same way. I remember school the first time around. It hasn't changed much.

However, the best part of the school day was watching Preston try out his theory with the holy water. He would squirt people with holy water when they walked by. When they looked at Preston, he would act nonchalant.

"It seems your theory is way off base," Ryan told Preston.

"Give it time. Our classmates are going to hell for their heathen behavior," Preston said.

"Then you're their leader since you have the worst behavior out of everyone."

"I never claim to be a saint. But at least I can repent for my sins when I become a minister." Preston smirked.
