The crisp morning rise of the sun beaming down on the water stained windows. The light slowly hitting the peaceful, sleeping body of Kate. Her eyes are slowly open to the sound of someone walking towards her door. She noticed that she didn't change out of her dress from yesterday.
A knock from the door snapped her out of the trance of what to wear. "Katlyn, breakfast is ready," Her mother said behind the dinghy wooden door.
"Come on Kate, we're going to the grocery store," Tim said after their mother.
Kate got up and put an identical dress on, all of her wardrobes is the same dress. The ride to the local store was uneventful, just the same few rows of houses repeated till the market district merged in. The small store peaked around the corner. The dim, faded red sign of SuperLots is the most eye-popping detailed on the faded cream yellow building. they parked near an entrance to get in and out quickly. The store inside was as dingy and dirty as you would think a chain store would be. The family started in the produce and deli section of the store, Eleanor was looking at some eggplant claiming to be " locally grown", when a crash could be heard. Kate looked around when she spotted twins riding around in shopping carts.
They crashed into a bin of oranges, laughter broke out between the twins. " That looks like fun, Kate. We should do that." Tim said looking at the twins.
"I think we should help them up." Kate walked up to the twin that had a luminous. Greenheart necklace hanging off his blue turtleneck sweater.
"Oh, you must be new in town," Kate lifted him up from the pile of oranges.
"My names John, and that over there," John points to his double, " Is my twin brother Richard, Richey for short." Their conversation was cut short by yelling.
Richey and John ran out of the store after an employee started to chase them. Tim walked over shortly with a certain grin that's plastered onto his face.
"It looks to me that you made a friend already," He snickered out the remark.
"Oh, shut it, Tim".
After the shop for food that isn't rotten or stale for 40 years, they headed home. Eleanor turned on the local radio, the announcer's voice falls softly upon the families ears like butter melting.
" Hello Darksville, Home of the Hornets, I am your host, RadioHead, and I am proud to say that we are in for another storm this afternoon, I hope the sounds of Benny goodman's sing, sing, sing will soothe your thoughts of worries." The transition of the music came into a burst of loud trumpets and drums. The big band noise washed over and in a few minutes, she was asleep, head pressing on the car door window.
She opened her eyes to see the same woods as the night before, but it seemed to be that she was further in the woods. She was sitting in half of the family car with vines and weeds growing on it. She started to get up when something ran past her. The form was a little bit taller than she was, Kate ran after it. Coming to a stop in an opening in the woods. The cloaked figure knelt down to catch their breath. A godly orb of light that had come from the same directions as Kate and the figure, was of an angel. It floated pasted Katelyn and had its eyes set on the figure, that was still gaining the strength to get up and run.
" Lilith, the mother of all that is dark and evil. You have hereby sentenced the damnation of solitude and stripped of your power, for all eternity; Face me, mother of the damn!" The figure pulled down her hood to show blood red curled horns protruding from her head, white curls poured onto her shoulders. Her eyes looked back in terror and fear.
" What have I done to deserve this?", her voice was waxed with uncertainty and harshness to her tone.
" You terrorized the people of this village, killed and possessed children, resulting in the second coming of the Salem witch trials." she rose from her spot on the ground to look directly into the fearless angel. With the calm before the storm, she stated.
