Like an emotional vampire he was to her, if someone smile at her, he would say, you like him, do you know him, why is smiling at you then. If she sits in the sun so she can get color & just feel the heat to her body as she comes alive, some way, somehow, he finds a way to suck her life out of her. As she plays with the bug, she wishes she was small, like the bugs she plays with and he don’t they are there. They hind when he is home. She doesn’t go outside unless it’s with him. Her belly is getting bigger & their baby boy will be here. The bugs are her only friends. Like she’s in an unlocked cage, but can’t get out. Her long golden blonde hair, with a ring of flowers around it, she is the sexy woman in the small town of 400 people. Big Springs, Deuel County is where she calls a place to live, but she unhappy. As she dies inside when he's at work she cleans the 2-bedroom house. She looks at herself, trying to understand how she got there. She picks up her magazine to check out her horoscope like she does every day, but this time, it told her to go call the wic program that new to helping with new mother & their baby. As she calls around trying to learn where to go and what she should do, she tells herself this is my way out. I can feed my baby & they will help me find a place to go. I can be free, then she dials the wrong number, thank you for calling the Wicca Shop where we have the things you need for your spells, this Star Dragon how can I help you. Did you say spells & Star Dragon? yes, the voice answer back. I’m sorry I miss dial. Bless you, be, but remember the universe doesn’t make mistakes. Then she hooks up the phone. She looks back at the phone, place her hand back on it, but she didn’t know the number she dialed. She wrote all the number that it could be, then tried the 1st 4 but no luck. She places her paper with the number on it, inside her shoes under the sole, where she made hold to hind small things, like a photo of her brother, who she hasn’t seen for 10 years. I’ll try again tomorrow she told herself. She needed to get the dinner going so she wouldn’t have heard she’s wasn’t going to be a good mother. She was so sick of him, & his bullshit. Going in her things, if he doesn’t like something he put it in the garbage can without her knowing it. She was drop off with him at age 16. Her mother sold her to him for $10,000 & she been his housekeeper, cook, sex slave & punching bag. Only because she’s now having his baby she doesn’t get hit as much. As night came, he walks inside the house, with his beer in hands. Trying to find anything to make her feel bad about herself. You getting too old, it’s going to be time for me to let you go. He takes the food and pushes it to the floor. Clean that shit up & get in here take care of me. Need to wash 1st she was thinking to herself. Just thinking about she had to put her mouth on him made her sick, but she knew it would be over within minutes. So, she cleans up everything & when to the room to take care of him. She wanted to clean her mouth, but she couldn’t move, or he would hit her because he knows she wants to clean her mouth, but he believes he pays the bills she can keep him inside her, but he would get that baby out her again like he did the others he sold. He wasn’t going to feed two mouths. It had to go, next week we are going and get that out of you, I paid that bitch she said this would happen anymore. I’ll make sure it’s done right this time. He told her. Then he when to sleep. She slowly & quietly cries herself to sleep.
Morning came, they did the same routine every morning and every day, sex, cook, and he is out the door. Then she cleans herself like she never been clean before. Then she cleans the house up. She picks up her magazine, but quickly put it down & took the paper out of shoes. Pick up the phone then put it down, what are you doing, she asks herself. She inhales put her hand on the phone and dial the 6th number on the list. Thank you for calling the Wicca Shop where we have the things you need for your spells, this Star Dragon how can I help you. She didn’t speak, she wasn’t breathing, the voice over the phone exhale Sarah, how did you know my name, Sarah ask Star Dragon, I been waiting on you call me back, you need a lot of help, but you must believe in herself 1st. I must say I didn’t think you were going to call back till next year. How do you know me, Sarah asked. I have this spell just for you. I don’t have any money Sarah ask. I’m not selling anything to you. You have everything you need in your kitchen & around the house.
Star Dragon told her what to do. She wrote each step down then she put the phone down. She’s crazy, this not going to work. But how did she know my name? I must try for my baby she told herself.
She took the paper and wrote his name on it added consecrated water and her urine and his hair to a small jar. That once had peppers in it & place it in the freezer. After she clean everything with salt. Then place her hands in the air and said with all her heart,
As it freezes so do you
As you freeze your hate will stop
As your hate freeze, you leave me be
It is written & it is done
Now chill out
Then she walks away and didn’t look back, she only came back to the kitchen to cook dinner. She cooks and places the food on the table as he walks in. he didn’t say a word to her, he eats and washes himself up then when to bed. Never look her way or said anything to her. What she didn’t know was Star Dragon did a powerful spell, but Sarah had to show no fear and do as she was told to get the spell to work. And Sarah did it. The phone rung she look at it, she didn’t know what to do, she answers it. Bless you, be Sarah, now you need to say No more & walk out the door. How did you know? the dial tone is all she heard. She looks at herself from the kitchen window, then she screens no more and walks out the door. Only to walk outside to see a van and a woman with dark brown hair with green in it, and green eyes say, Come and be one of us. Be free & I’ll show you the way. Star Dragon, Sarah said. Bless it be I’m here. Can we go now, but how did you call me on the phone. If you believe you can do anything Star Dragon reply. She walks around the van and jumps in and they drove off to the Wicca Shop. Where Sarah read books after book on herbs, timing, spells, tarot cards, stones, spell boxes, sigils, and much more.
She stops eating meat, and she stops getting bigger. However, her baby was ok, and the time came for her to push. As the women help her into the small pool. They all meditate together around her and with one big push, he came. I name you Lotus the Six. His eyes were big and dark. They all smile and sing and give thanks to Hekate.
He grows but he never grows any higher than 3 feet tall, when he turns 14 he and his mother learn he could make himself small like an ant. She looked at him and said, I didn’t think I couldn’t love you anymore she was happy, but sad too because her little friends were in that house. Make yourself big again ok, Lotus the Six did as he was told. I’ll be back with some friends ok. She walks out the door and drove back to the house where she didn’t have a voice. She pulls to the house, she just knew he was at work. She told her friends to come out I’m going to take you home, but she didn’t feel her little friends, and someone hit her in the back of her head.
Lotus the Six why are you here alone Star Dragon ask him, but before he could answer she knew. She calls all the women with her mind and they came one by one. He has Ladybug we must go, I’m going to Lotus the Six said. She's my mother I must go. Star Dragon didn’t say a word they all join hands and said,
Like light, we fly
Like the time we move
Like light, we fly
Like the time we move
Like light, we fly
Like the time we move
Like light, we fly
Like the time we move
And like lighting they were there, the rain came down hard, but they weren't getting wet. Lotus the Six made himself like a lotus and when inside the house from the floor and opening the front door, the women walk in, Star Dragon could feel Sarah, but she was weak. The smell of the house was hard to their nose. The lady to the left of Star Dragon touches the light and the power in her give the house light so they could see. The power has been out for some time with all the death they can smell coming from the house walls. Beer cans where everywhere, then the drunken voice said, you dam witches put a spell on me I’m going to kill you all. Star Dragon told Lotus the Six to go outside. He gives her a look of why but did as he was told. The drunken man had a gun, he shot but miss because he was too drunk. They all rush him and took him down. Star Dragon made her way to Sarah. Who she found that was tight to the bed with eyes swollen close & naked. Star Dragon cut the ropes, get up Ladybug we are taking you home. I didn’t know the power was off, I didn’t know the spell was broken. It’s ok Ladybug it’s time to go. They walk over a big dead snake and like lighting they were back into the Wicca Shop. The snake was my father, Lotus the Six ask Star Dragon.
Yes, my Bug.
Will continue next week………….
