The ride to the house was a quiet one. Sina and Azania
looked at each other like they were crazy for letting complete strangers come
inside their home. Have their complete boredom have gotten to them so much that
they forgot the first rule of an educated adult?
“So how do you guys like it here so far”? Sapphire asked breaking the awkward silence.
Azania turned around smirking “It’s ite ,boring ass
fuck but it’s cool, not used to this peaceful shit though”.
Maurice smiled back at her but frowned as they pulled
into the drive way. It was almost has if he knew what awaited him but it was forbidden
to speak about it.
“Looks a lot different since the last time we been
here” Penelope said as her eyes roamed the driveway.
“It really does” Emerald said as she started to shake
as she stepped out of the car. Abigail walked over to her sister handing her a
thick sweater. Sapphire stared at Emerald realizing it was to soon to freak out
in front of Sina and Azania. However,
Roses always made Emerald weak like they physically sucked the power out of
her. She was the only Blackwilt in
generations that struggled with this allergy since their Great Great Grand
Mother Effy.
Azania plopped on the couch waiting for all the
adventure Maurice was talking about in the club. When Emerald passed out on the
floor the upon entering through their front door. The Blackwilts then
surrounded her in a circle chanting something then touching her until she rose
in the air spinning around and around in a circle. Maurice yelled some funny
word causing Emerald whole body to jerk back until she landed back on the
floor. Azania was now on her feet as well “WHAT KINDA HOCUS POCUS SHIT WAS THAT”!
she yelled as Emerald shook off the
tension and they all walked towards Sina and Azania. “This is the reason we
were outcast” Sapphire said holding her head down afraid of what would happen
next.
“So if your family were outcast for being witches and
warlocks that makes us…? Maurice cut Sina off as he stood in front of them all.
“You have to come into your powers to know if it was
passed down to you, as of now your just regular people”
The room then turned silence again. As Azania jumped
up putting her hands on her wide hips.
“Ya’ll niggas here to help open that damn gate in the
garden and show us this dungeon” she said grabbing Maurice by the arm.
He smiled finally realizing that their revelation didn’t
affect how the girls saw him our his family. Sina jump in agreement as everyone
else followed Maurice’s lead outside.
The door to the dungeon was on the far back side of
the house camouflaged by a grandmother willow tree. Azania and Sina looked at
each other as if it was their first time noticing the obvious. Sapphire touched
the lock “Open up and let us see what you keep in secret under the tree” she
chanted as she pulled the lock off opening the door.
“Everyone turn on your flash light” Maurice said as
there wasn’t a speck of light to be seen.
It was what seemed to be 100 steep stone steps that
lead almost what felt like 6 feet under the house. There was an ire feeling attached to being
down there. It was as if someone was watching them although there wasn’t any
stories attached to this dark place. Emerald switched on the main light illumining
the whole dungeon that was just bare.
“Mr. Wilson use to hold all his liquor down here”
Abigail said answering the silent questions Azania had been asking herself.
“The key to the gate is down here though” Maurice said
confirming that this little trip wasn’t just for fun.
Sapphire circled the front area until see saw a crack
in the wall she then popped out the brick hiding the key behind it.
“Ya’ll ready to see what behind the gate? She asked
swinging the key in the air.
“You bitches could’ve just hocus pocused that shit
open” Azania said rolling her eyes as they started picking up their flashlights,
turned off the main light and started climbing back up the stairs. As Sina climbed out the door she looked back
realizing the light was back on and she saw him. The man in the window staring
back at her with his finger on his heart shaped lips as if he was telling her
not to say anything.
Standing in the rose garden Azania was over joyed as the
key was inserted into the gate she jumped up and down as the door open.
Sapphire stared at her puzzled so did Maurice, Emerald, Penelope, and Abigail
as they all took turns peeking inside. Sina pointed and froze before fainting.
Azania then took a deep breath look inside the place she have been dying to
crack open since day one and even she couldn’t find the words to say about what
she saw…
