Two more days had passed. While elena watched brad kill another girl, a cute blonde lady with chubby cheeks and a thick little body. She looked pleasant enough giving Elena the little Debbie wholesome feeling.
He did it at the zoo again playing that old trick of lets go backstage thats where the real fun is. Its better at night. You can see the stars,the moon and even the night creatures surrounding them and im not talking the animals.
The shadows had gathered. The blonde lady didnt know that the smell of death was in the air tonight nor did she stand a chance against their wicked will.
She went down without a fuss or a muss. A beating and eating. One act done by brad. the other by the shadows speaking in that tone they knew very well. telling the lions, persuading them into a ferocious hunger strike that could and would be filled by these fair maned beasts.
Then the day that followed this gruesome act. Lucas lafron had a car accident. a truck came out of knowhere. He was t-boned. Hitting the drivers side of his crown vic was a black ford f150.
Luckily when his car flipped he only broke his left arm. his ribs cage had been cracked with a couple of them fractured. He had a concussion. Later on that day he thought. Someone must be looking out for me. Maybe someone was. He didnt know but was happy to still be breathing.
Elena grew mountains of anger as the days passed. Resenting herself for loving such a foul despicable man. She now saw as a devil in hiding.
She wanted him out of this world. The things he'd done. stirred within her consumed her thoughts. She started to grow a whisper of darkness in her soul. It started to show in her white aura. As it was now becoming light grey with a tint of a black shimmer surrounding the outsides. As if it waited to hear a knock saying "come in. Come home"
Elena started crieing for the days seemed to be eternal for her. With no escape in hand thinking "no one can hear me anymore. Anyone alive anyway." In this moment
She screamed for anyone anything to put an end to this pain. Her pain! She wanted it to be gone just as much as she wanted him gone. She was sick of this world. that she once thought of as her beautiful palace of liveliness and wonder. With happiness all around it. She now thought of it as a realm of murderous intent filled with no mercy. just a surcharge of pick up your ticket at the door. your number has been called. you won in the lottery of nothingness. just a shadowy death from creatures beyond your control.
Then she heard it. the voice from the zoo. The dark lit shadowy creature that talked of gardens and eden. it spoke to her as it was shoveling itself through a vent in her house. It poured out like ahot shower of steam. Coming together in a moments notice. Right infront of her.

The black smokey creature spoke with a solemn low pitch, high vibration frequency that it sent out," my dear dont fret. Ive come to help you grow the garden! plentiful! Its about harvest time. i need a pair of good shears to help me cut the fruit from the loins. I've heared you cry darling wipe those tears. You'll rise! let me show you the way to eden. "
Elena showing foggy tears that streamed down her cheeks onto the ground. as sadness was voiced in a melancholy of distrust," sure whatever you are. Just tell me what i have to do. I just want to be free from this world.
The foggy creature replied loudly," I've saved your friend for you. He'll be important later. I just want you to keep doing what you're doing. When the time comes. Youll know the time. Do as i say when i say it. If you do. You'll see eden! the real eden with a garden set under a moon of hopefulness. Its the one! the true! utopia! Do you wish to hear its calling?"
Elena wistfully willingly spoke," yes i am (more tears roll down her once bright cheeks) im ready.!"
The creature replied with a grin,"good! Times almost made its rounds again but this time we'll show them the true nature of the only pure garden. you will call it home my dear. It brings many pleasures without sacrifice. Trust in me! The one true friend you'll have in this world."

The smoke left the way it came. Elena now felt a sigh of relief but still confused on everything that had passed and probably would still come to light.
These shadow creatures whatever they where.. Left her breathless. If there was any breath left to breathe thinking "there not good but what other choice do i have."
She felt sorrow, a bunch of sadness with a whole lot of despair attached. Not knowing what to do or how to proceed. She had wanted to talk to walter. The yellow eyed creature had said he'd have the answers to help her through the darkness but would she be able to see him again. she hoped so. Hoped it wasnt a pipedream. She thought, how much time is left before the end of this. The shadow creature said it would be soon but how soon?.

Brad still pissed stood in the middle of the living room speaking angerly," Elena i know you're here you crazy bitch. You cant stop me! Trust in that! Trust in me. Speak to me! i know your here"
(A moment passed nothing happened but elena watched him getting riled up with every moment that passed)
Brad gleames cheerfullly. Then smuggly spoke,"come on lil miss priss. You always have something to say. So why dont you come out with it. By the way i killed you! You crazy cunt. I did it. I poisoned your oj. What are you gonna do. Nothing! Thats right. You crazy ass bitch."
(Elena furious now started to rise levitating as a gust came through the house that had no windows open. It threw the many household applaicances directly at Brad's head)
Brad dodging while laughing ferociously spoke proudly," is that all you got! Even in death you aint shit. Little princess with no slipper. Whose gonna save you now.(his laugh deepened)"
17a. elena elevated by a new level of anger and despair. Started to scream hitting the veil with a harsh scary sound that crossed over to brads ears. He heard her say"you'll pay! bet your ass! Ill make you pay."
It startled Brad but he continued to laugh thinking to himself"i might be in trouble"

Brad was careful the next couple of days. He didnt want to raise anymore suspicion or attention until this mess blew itself out.
He had high hopes the creature he captured would do its job. The job he himself had set upon it. The plan to relinquish this town from the light nature it was, into a dark abyss. in which there would be no escape. The way he wanted it surrounded in darkness. The way he felt.
First the two amigos(brad and the black eyed smoke creature from the zoo) would turn the town against itself through false tellings with a touch of murder and lies. Then Brad would watch everything burn. He didnt care for life but loved him some death. Intrigued by it. It consumed him. He was pure evil. He had come up with the plan or thought he did. He didnt know anymore. Thinking maybe IT did. he really didnt care, none the less,for the end result was the same. Him on top of the mountain, with death as a witness, a heaping pile of it. Brad wanted to be king of this hill. His only desire was death. Death to everyone. Thinking about all the many ways that led one to its door.
The shadow thing from the zoo had told brad how to capture the yellow eyed creature with a cat. He had shown brad through black and white images what could come to pass. If brad listened, it would be accomplished. While projecting these images. It also gave brad a hazy feeling that consumed his body. He was dazed, impressionable. It led brad to think he was in comtrol. He was the one with the wits and strategy. It made him believe it was his plan. He met it after he killed his mother. When he was 16. It wasn't bound to anything but felt like it was bound to everything. Espicially him.
He was the puppet in this case unfortunetly. Not knowing it had its own plans for succession. He thought he was the master of this thing too. Both these thing, creatures whatever they were. He thought"there mine! Mine to order. They follow my word"
He captured yellow eyes with a cat. That made him laugh. Such a silly way to be locked up but it was his. His to control. His to dominate. He loved the fact he had accompliced such a feat. He found something just as sinister as him or maybe even more sinister.
With Lucas lafron out the way now. Thats what brad thought anyway. He could accomplish his goals. No one could stop him but elena. What could she do he thought"shes dead now and dead people cant do shit but throw things in the air, blow a couple fuses and cry around." He was wrong tho for elena might be dead but not gone. There was something she could do. She'd be damned if she didnt use all her afterlife powers to stop him. In her mind he was" the evil bastard."and with that he must be executed but how?

Brad stopped by the park to see who needed to be saved but the pickens where slim. Barely anyone there. It was vacant. All you could hear was the sound of the wind hitting the trees. As leaves swirled around.
There were two kids playing on the big blue slide. It gleamed with rust looking as though it lost a leg to stand on. right next to it were two swings on a riggidy chain link rope that teetered itself together like fickle straws. It would probably fall soon.
Brad sat unknowingly next to walter on the bench waiting for the next victim to reach its destination.
Elena seen walter sitting in his chummy position showing his monterous smile.
19a
Walter spoke with a cheery happiness,"my dear! Its been awhile hopefully everythings right as rain for you?"
Elena pleasant but unsettled in her voice assuring herself rather than the world shes ok spoke with concern," the shadow thing with yellow eyes told me to ask you how to get through the darkness? It said you'd know."
Walter cheerily replied with an unspoken concern,"my dear. I have no clue. Im set in the ways of the old. Be kind, be caring but much more show love to the things that have no love to give. Its always better to put a smile on a frown. As i say you just gotta be good to the world. Its hard when times are tough but it can be done. You said yellow eyes? You seen my wife?
Elena cautiously. but content with a pleasant sound replied,"that things your wife? I guess it spoke to me about you. You have to tell me what happened to her."
Walter expressing spectisism but cheery in sound replied" well madame. She started out like you. Wide eyed and bushy tailed. A beautiful woman inside and out. who stole the show. Everytime she entered a room. A beacon of light she was. Till that black eyed horror machine full of smoke got to her. Convinced her to do things she'd never do! Never! Little things at first. Play a mean joke or two. Then she got mischievous. It turned to anger! bad things. Bad! bad! things. till her soul was gone and then it went black becoming that yellow eyed beast. you see before your eyes. Where did you see her? I thought she had left our world. hoped for a better outcome for her. I guess not."
Elena with sincerity in her voice replied briskfully," at my house walter is a yellow eyed cat. She had been captured by the man sitting next to you! Hes evil! There all evil. I cant get away from him or them. They want me for something and i dont think its a good something."
Walter concerned spoke with vigor but with a passion of strength in his voice," you must cut the cord. my dear! You're tethered to that man. Like people are to possessions. Those things want darkness. thats all they ever want. As for my gal. my love!. She's gone. I want to say to a better place but now i hear no such thing has happened."
Elena nervously talked with a scaredness about her,"how! How do i get away. I fly back to brad. I can only go so far and as for those evil things. I dont know what to do to get rid of them. Im losing my mind.
Walter pressing for strength standing now with power in his voice replied,"dont do that my dear! You're still good. You've changed. I can see that in your essence but you are still in purity! All i can say is dont do what it wants. You gotta finish your buisness before you can move on to the greater good. we can only hope is heaven. Finish it!"
Elena strong in form but scaredness in attitude answered," i dont know what that is walter. Im scared. I dont know what to do or what that buisness is."
Walter retaliated with wisdom," only you know. Look in your heart. It's filled with love! It will show you the way my dear! It always does just like that gut instinct follow it."
