Merchant Of Death

Fears and colds

I held the jacket tighter as Kora tagged along behind me.the cold seeping through my jacket as I shivered, I know I should have worn two more, I mentally slapped myself.

My mind wandered back to what Kora told me before we set out of the spirit house.

Minutes earlier....

  "Not full spirits? How is that even possible." I asked

".....he is our father" she revealed picking at her fingers,a habit I think she has when she's nervous,or she's trying so hard to hide something but she can't.

" Who is?" I asked leaning in.

" The devil...." To say that I was shocked...that, was an understatement. How was that even possible. I didn't say a thing, soon as she noticed I wasn't going to say anything or ask any question she continued...

"  they were so much in love...it was like love at first sight.
They were like teenagers who found an everlasting love Amelia,"

" Who, who was he in love with.?"

" She was called the goddess of love and beauty..her name was 'Amber' she was the first and only daughter of the creator. She was so beautiful, her heart so pure. But when they both met, it was like love at first sight, they started seeing each other, but in secret places.
Until they both came out in the open confessing their love to the other three gods." She sighed and leaned into the chair then continued.

" ....the creator was so furious and told them to stop their love affair and break whatever bond they had but it was already too late, as she was already with child.
The devil was so angry and hurt at the same time. He did not want to separate from her so they continued their love affair in secret and bore two children, until the other gods found out and separated them for good.....the rest is for derek to say himself." She said sipping from the cup of water she had in her hand.

Everything became so clear.or not.i still need more answers, but first I need to see mama.

"So if you are not spirits or even creators then what are you?"

She laughs before she answers."we are merchants..."

. Merchants...I still don't know how that relates with spirits and creators.
For the past one hour we have been walking,and the spirit house was no longer clear so I could not give up. I decided to rest my bones and told Kora to go on without me that I'll meet her in front, but Kora being like her brother stayed with me to rest.
Funny how they were so alike and not so alike. Kora was a blond, short blue eyed girl. Her curls swept behind her back and her tanned skin shone, I envied her a little, or maybe a much.she looked so beautiful, her smile short but genuine, her heart carried care and love, but her ocean blue eyes held secrets and pain like her brother's.

Unlike her brother she had a good sense of humour, I know how much I've laughed till we reached here.
' creak' we heard a sound and jolted up.
'creak' it sounded loud this time.i clutched the jacket round me as Kora came by my side to hold me wisphering words of " do not fear."
Excuse me, I can't remember being in the church, can we just run. My heartbeat increased and palms all sweaty all of a sudden.

What is happening to me.i think I'm atsmatic. I should have listened to Kora and waited for derek to come back. I'm so not ready to face the devil now.

This is not how I envisioned my end to be like.i silently cried in my heart.
' creak'
' creak'
' creak'
I shut my eyes tightly and waited for something to happen, but when I did not hear a sound I carefully opened them coming face to face with...

" Boo"

" Ahhhhhhhhh......"

I know how I ended it was🤧.
But I promise to make it better
