We traveled back home, when we got there I saw my body was moved. I was placed in the kitchen on Ganuku's sponge. It was weird. I was on the same sleeping position I was in from when I left my body. I panicked, they probably thought that I was dead or they were playing a prank on me. Were they trying to murder me? All these thoughts came crashing into my head, from that one gesture.
"Do they know? Do they know, that I had left?" I asked Ganuku."Yes, but we have to act quickly, before they tell your father... Get inside your body, we're doing this thing today." Ganuku stated. I did not know what he was really suggesting, but I complied to his demands. I got inside my body. He grabbed me with the shirt and he made us open the door. It was dark outside and I felt the breeze of the cold night hit my skin, like a deep freezer. I was really scared of leaving with my body in a human form.He made us walk until we reached the gate and then we walked towards the road."We have to act swiftly." Ganuku was stating impatiently. I had never seen him agitated like that, even though he was a ghost in real life. I could not help but think that he was the coolest ghost ever. I was not afraid of him. He was still my brother and I knew that no matter what, I could always trust him. But, nothing had prepared me for what he was going to have me do.The door to the shed, that used to be his room was opened. He whistled, then a brown and black chicken came out. I wanted to run away, but he gestured for us to leave. I followed him."Was that chicken there the whole time?" I asked feeling scared."Yes, we have to act quickly." He said. I nodded, although I was feeling sceptic with the whole thing. Something in my spirit felt very unsettled, it was like I was dragging my feet to something sinister, but I knew I had to trust Ganuku, he was my brother.We walked in darkness and I saw us crossing the huge Koma street, which crossed over to Rockville. The reminiscences of Rockville tragedies came crashing back to my seven year old mind. The darkness of Rockville consumed me, I could feel the shift on energy, the huge trees seemed to have something lurking in them. My throat felt dry, fear consumed my soul. "Ganuku, there's a mermaid in this place." I told him. Ganuku seemed to sigh, but he kept his stoic expression."It would not hurt you." He stated.I felt like peeing myself, while he kept his nonchalant expression. I just envied his unbotheredness."I'm a child!" I said. I could not stand it any longer, walking in a dark road at night and leaving my brothers alone in the house, with the door unlocked was crazy to me."Well today you will learn that sometimes you need to grow faster because the world will harm you if you are not careful. Sometimes the ghost is not something you should fear, because it has your best interests at heart. Whereas human could be real the monsters that you need stay clear of. Human are more dangerous than ghosts, you hear me? " He asked.I knew what he was saying, but I could not help but think about why we had to walk all there way. I could astral travel with him like I always do, why did I have to walk with my physical body?"Why did we not leave my body behind like we always do?" I asked him."Boy, who are you talking to and what are you doing here at night?! Where are your parents?!" A person in one of the houses asked. I became so scared, I did not even know how to answer."Run!!!" Ganuku stated and I did. I did not even know where I was going but I was running deep into the darkness of Rockville."Kid, where are you going?! Kid!!!" The man tried to stop me, but I ran not looking back.I arrived at Rockville Park panting. I was so tired and I realized that I was near the dam, on the crime scene where they found a girl who was drowned. Fear consumed me, my heart was pounding so hard in my chest, I thought that I was going to lose myself as I felt the ache on my chest."What are you doing here kid?" A man appeared, he did not seem like a normal person. I backed away, although I was trapped by the pond. He was huge and he could catch me anytime. I wondered where Ganuku was? In that moment I thought I was going to die because I had listened to him."I am the man who drowned that child, I drown juvenile kids who play besides the pond." He approached me, becoming bigger with each second he came. "My master needs to feed, he lives in that pond and you are innocent, his powers will grow from that." He said.I felt like dying in that moment.But, "Duck!" Ganuku said and I obliged. I got down covering myself and closing my eyes, folding myself like a ball. When I looked up, after some time, I saw Ganuku standing there and the man nowhere to be seen. When I looked back behind myself, I him being submerged into the pond. The ghostly look on him made Pennywise look like a joke. He was terrifying. My pants were drenched with pee, I had never been in any situation like that before and I could not hold myself any longer. I started sobbing."We need to go back home." I said finally, tears were now coming down my face. I was beyond petrified.Ganuku watched me for a while and he said,"We cannot do that, we have already came so far. We need to complete this mission." I saw the small brown chicken appear from behind him.

"Wake up, wake up!?!" I was father's voice. I looked up at him, I was back on the kitchen floor on Ganuku's blankets and sponge. I really did not know how I got back home, but from the horrific stare my father was giving me, I knew something was wrong."Who did this to you?" He asked.I did not pay attention, I was thinking about last night, about how I nearly died. So many things had happened yesterday. Me and Ganuku's had traveled to Evalon graveyard, we performed a ritual. Something had happened to me last night because I only remembered collapsing inside his grave, although it was weird, almost like witchcraft. My soul felt like it was traveling again, but it also felt like I was reborn. Ganuku had made me chant about giving him access to my temple, I did not know what that was about, but he was able to enter my vessel. His soul was now mysteriously living in my body, with me and I could feel its presence. It felt like I could feel him and he could take over. His soul felt stran

"Why did you lie on us and where did you find the blood that you had poured on yourself?" Samson asked."I always used to protect you, but the stunt you pulled on us is mean and unacceptable. From now on I will let Simon do whatever he wants to do with you!" Abraham added."Well first of all, both of must be sick in your head if you think there is any help I need from you. Go to aunt Rosina and learn some morals!" I told them not holding back my rage. In that moment I was thinking of the events that had happened when I was still alive, living in my own body."You do not sound like a real innocent Clearance that we know, you sound like crook from hell. That's why that blood was all over you? You are reeked off evil, I can smell it on you." Samson added."Well at least you can just smell it, you performed it. Now you need to learn your morals. Maybe aunt Rosina will teach you a thing or two about them." I said. These were my greatest bullies from the time I was still alive and reliving t

Ganuku P.O.V. :"Okay." Clearance said with understanding. I knew I could count on him when it mattered the most. "Can I enter my body now, just in case father gets back?" He asked looking at me. I nodded, although I did not feel like that was a wisest idea. ~When father came back from his mini vacation of air, I could not help but think that I needed to also get rid of him, if I had to accomplish all of my missions. My brothers were now out. It was then time to make my guilt and shame his potion for putting me through that struggle of being humiliated and the neglected. I had endured so much from him. I had not forgotten about how he let me experience the wrath of his late vengeful wife and I knew that she sometimes visited my other brothers and him, from time to time.I needed to occupy his dream with nightmares, he would think that he was being haunted."What are you planning now?" He asked as he entered the room, that all his sons used to sleep in, including Clearance. I did not

Ganuku P.O.V. :I could not sleep, I was not a sleeper and I could never sleep. I yearned for my justice. Vivian had been left to rot in jail ever since I had died. She was the only person who came for my defense, stabbing that well deserving mother monster, who had happened to be a mother to her five demonic children. The hurt they had put me through? When I was still alive, it could not be subdued with a slap on the wrist, everyone had to pay for their crimes. I despised and hated each and everyone of them.The one memory that still haunted me the most was the moment when Abraham was instructed to test which of my private organs were working? He inappropriately touched me when I was only a child, on my previous body, when I was still a human being. I cried out to father during those days and fought him from touching me inappropriately. Father came rushing in our bedroom to see what was happening. When I told him that Abraham wanted to molest me. He became so rigid and he blamed me

Ganuku P.O.V :He might have thought that he had escaped my wrath, but it was far from over. The was so much I was planning. He had to learn a harsh lessons. Everyone had to pay for their wrong doings, that they had created. He was scared to death after seeing me, but I knew I had to do worse. "Why are you doing this to me Ganuku? I am sorry I did not know what to do in those moments when they hurt you. I wish I could go back and change it, but It was out of my control." He tried to explain again, wiping his eyes. After sometime when I did not respond, he opened his eyes. He did not see me anymore, although I was still there, but invisible. He sighed heavily. He covered himself in blankets, hoping that what he just witnessed was not real. I went back to Clearance's room, my heart filled with rage. I was hurt, my own father had abandoned me because he felt my reality was a nightmare to him. He addressed me in a way that I could never get used to. At least when I was alive, on my pre

"I am becoming more of myself." I told him with a smirk. I knew it was his worst nightmare witnessing any of his boys acting suspect. He was high on sexual morals and gender roles. Like if you could not conform to his moral standards? You would have gotten disowned right then and there. (I hid the bottle Clearance was in, in a sock, as he was still distracted with my appearance.) "Since when?" He asked confused. In a movie where he thought that he was a hero, I was most definitely a villain. And if he thought that he was a villain, I was double that villain. I really wanted to piss him off."Since the day you stopped becoming my father. Yesterday we agreed on your boys going to live at aunt Rosina, now you want me go fetch my bullies and bring them back to this house and then go and live on a shed like some dog? Fine, I might as well take an identity of my late brother, Ganuku. I might as well fight for his justice and since I am someone who is made to live in his shoes." I told him.

Ganuku P.O.V. :"You know we are going to start beating you up after we are finished eating here, right? We do not tolerate gay boys here." One boy said."After doing that poisonous thing in front of my face, what makes you think I might spare you?" I asked them and they all looked at me as if I was a crazy person."We will beat you up, even God does not like things like you?!" The other one said clicking his tongue."Which God are you referring to?" I asked."This boy is sick, you should be running before we start hitting you!" The second boy said laughing. It seemed like being bullies seemed like the most common thing that they glorified. Another act that created so much rage inside of me."If you are referring to the god of the colonists, the food you are eating will turn into termites and it will start eating you from within." I stated. It seemed like what I had said had no effects on them and they started approaching."We are referring to the one true God of the Bible." Another s

Clearance:I woke up in a idiosyncratic place. It looked weird, everything was shadowy and I heard whispers. Ganuku had apologized to me, but I knew that things were getting exacerbated, especially with father. When I heard the tumultuous noise he had with Ganuku, I nearly died from terror! My heart was filled with so much fear. I had never seen father so upset with me, I did not even think I was going to survive his wrath. My brother was not frightened though, he might have been feminine and had a liking of girly things, but fear did not recite in him. I heard voices between him and a strange lady, I was not familiar with her, I had never seen or heard of her anywhere. I was agog. "Why did you bring a living person here?! This is no place for him! You know what the Pharos will do when they find him here, right?! They will use him as their next sacrifice! Why did you risk him coming here?!" She posed questions, agitated. "Do you seriously think I had any choice in this situation?
