Burn Your Local Church

Easy Days

I rolled over to find Cameron fast asleep beside me. The bed sheets were cold and so was my body. I looked around my room, trying to not wake up Cameron and noticed my window was opened. I had forgotten to close it. I frantically looked over at Cameron and grabbed his arm to take a better look at his watch. The time read 6:58. Inthemorning.

I had completely forgotten... About everything. The leader was supposed to come over to my house and I had missed him. I shifted so I didn't hit Cameron and then I got out of bed. I quietly walked to my door and shut it silently behind me. I was walking down the stairs, and about to enter my mom's room to ask if she wanted to eat breakfast with me, and then I realized I couldn't do that anymore.

I blinked rapidly to hold back the tears. I was fighting every urge to stop the tears. I sped walked to my front door. On the mud mat in front of the door layed a package. I instinctively picked it up. I analyzed the package and my eyes scanned the papers. I kept them in my hands and ran back up the stairs. I felt like a child as my feet bounced off of each step. I opened the door to my bedroom and laughed at myself when I jumped at the human I'm my bed, then remembered it was Cameron. Cameron was laying awake on my bed, looking out my window.

"It's such a shitty view." I mumbled.

Cameron turned around and looked at me, then shrugged. "It's not much better then my view." I walked over to my bed and sat down on the opposite edge as Cameron. While I was downstairs, he'd move to the other side.

"I'm just tired of this view?"

"You want a better view?" Cameron looked me in the eyes before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer to him. I had just enough time to set my package on the bed before Cameron's face was buried in my hair.

"Yeah, I want a better view."

"How about somewhere out of here?"

"Like where?"

"Anywhere," I laughed, "with you."

Cameron kissed my forehead and helped me up. He picked up my package and handed it to me. His eyes were wide with curiosity, but he just handed it to me. I didn't break contact with his eyes as his hands gave the package to mine. "Thank you." I mumbled. Cameron eagerly but silently wanted me to open the package.

I used my finger nail to slide across the brown cardboard. A cut in the box was made and I used it to pull the cardboard away from it's interior. Inside, a calligraphy written note was placed clean on top. I pushed the letter aside and a bible looking book was sitting in front of me. I was filled with curiosity. My fingers compassionately picked up the piece of paper. I gently opened it, revealing a page long note.

MydearestJamie,

Your mother dying is no excuse to not fulfill your duties as an Ordo Flammeus Serpen. You must, and without question, burn down the church chapel on thirty-fourth street of the Christian Community. No questions shall escape your mouth because none of your nonsense questions will be answered. Although this is an ancient tradition, our fate is not dependent on you. If you do not follow through, you will be executed immediately. There is noway out of this. We wish you the best of luck. Please, use theSatanism Bible to your advantage. You must memorize and fulfill the practices of your ancestors.

Sincerely,
YourGod

I looked over to Cameron who was starring blankly at me. His eyes were filled with wonder and he was so pure hearted and I was so confused as to how I was going to tell him.
