The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Day Four

We arrive at the bar just after midnight. Day four on topside I guess, let’s see what today holds.

I help Mayhem with the twins. JJ and Camilla Dawn meet us at the door.

“Get in here. Everything is going crazy.” She tells me.

 She is so dramatic. I am already aware that everything went sideways. I was there. I will let her fret over me; it is what she does best. This girl worries way too much.

 “P do you know what is going on honey?” She asks me.

“Well my bubbly friend I know Sunnie tried to kill me, my brother is more psychotic than I originally thought, and I also know I was trapped for 900 years in hell. Oh and before I forget there are two children caught up in all of this. Did I leave anything out?” I say to her a little too dramatic.

 Camilla is staring at me like I am crazy. “I am going to get you a drink of Heaven's nectar. Is that okay?” she says as she walks off.

Did I piss her off or hurt her feelings? I am not sure.

“What is heavens nectar exactly Camilla Dawn?” I ask her. She doesn’t respond she just keeps walking. Humans are so sensitive.

 “Mayhem maybe we should put the twins in the office. Can JJ watch them for just a moment? I need to apologize to Camilla Dawn.”I ask him.

 I turn for a response he nods his head. JJ picks them both up and walks to the office. He knocks on the sign that reads unholy ones. Sam lets him in.

I look around the room. The booth in the back, I wave at Camilla Dawn to meet me at the booth. She nods. I make my way through all the people in the bar.

There are a lot of people here. Don’t fall to pieces keep going Perdition I hear a voice telling me. I just want to scream I am fine but I keep walking to the booth in the back.

 I sit down with my back to the wall. I can see everything going on. I can hear all of them. The bracelet in my pocket feels hot. I take it out and sit it on the table. It seems to be trying to mold  back together. That is not strange at all.

Of course, the last few days have been full of oddities. Why should this day be any different?

Camilla Dawn arrives at the table with my drink. “Drink it. It is made specifically for celestials and descendants. It will help take the edge off.” She tells me as she sits it down in front of me.

 I am terrified. JJ and Mayhem join us. The four of us sit silently for a moment. A lot has happened and we all need to just take it in. I wonder if it’s safe to drink this. I hear a voice saying just drink it. It probably won’t affect you.

Well, that is good enough for me Mayhem. I know you are the little voice in my head. I look at him across the table. Wait. Maybe that wasn’t him.

“Mayhem can I drink this?” I ask.

 He smiles. It was him. I am going to just drink it and see what happens. Nothing will surprise me at this point. I pick up the small glass and smell it. It smells like heaven. I should not remember that but I do.

 I wonder what this is made of and who made it. I trust Mayhem so I drink it all in one drink. I sit the glass down and everyone is looking at me. “Is there a problem?” I ask Mayhem.

 “I hope not.” He responds. “It really shouldn’t affect you. I will get you some water.” He says as walks to the bar to get me a bottle of water.

“JJ, what happened with Sunnie? I thought she was on our side?” I ask him.

JJ shakes his head and runs his hand through his hair. “Perdition I just do not have an answer. All I can think is she loves Ryan and she would do anything to be with him. Maybe she is confused. I just do not have any answers.” JJ says.
