The Bleeding Anthem Read online

  He was very attractive but kind of mysterious. Malachi said “why are you here?” “Well I need help finding someone a cop that hurt my friend Mili”. “Why” said Malachi “you are a smart girl can’t you do it” autumn looked up at him “well yeah but I don’t think I would be able to catch him myself I would need a little back up” I said. Ok I will help. He agreed. It was getting dark outside and he offered us to stay at his place and we called belle to let her know and to make sure she was OK. He gave us a place to sleep there was an extra bed Candice and I had shared.

  I don’t think Candice was comfortable around him that much but I was there was something about him I loved, he was different and I loved when someone wasn’t the same. Candice and I went to bed I couldn’t sleep but she was already sleep It was 2am in the morning I was dozing off dreaming that Malachi and I were together making love I was so infatuated by him and the time this lady hired us to play music for her abusive husband and seduce him, but first we had to have dinner with them and I hated it even when he was talking it pissed me off soothing about him I didn’t like. I could tell his wife was afraid and she shouldn’t have to be. We killed him by strangling him with piano strings and beating him to death with the guitar but anyway… I couldn’t get enough of Aiden and I can feel someone staring at me and I felt my body being lifted up and taken to this room and I couldn’t fight what was holding me he was too strong, he placed me on his bed .I saw the candles flicker. He stared into my eyes and touched my waist .We were both painting with excitement and slowly took my short shorts off .A romantic vibe filled between us. His hands went down to my panties and he was about to take them off. I stopped him I didn’t know why. I think it was because I had trust issues. He slowly pushed me onto bed and he put my legs over his shoulders I felt like I had no choice, my panties were still on I wanted to take them off and let him inside me but I was afraid he would hurt me like everyone else did .He was a real man that wanted to make love to me. He was so huge and I could tell from his massive erection .It was like huge a bratwursts inside his pants. My legs were shaking in excitement from staring too long. He was between my legs. He is kissing me passionately on my lips, his tongue slipping in my sweet, soft warm mouth. His lips travel to my neck like tiny vampire kisses all the way to my belly button .My moaning is soft by the second. Quickly I woke up to find out it was a dream but it felt real. I rolled around in bed trying to find a comfortable spot and suddenly I stopped and thought about him again and I think I was kind of obsessed with him. I dozed off to sleep and it felt like I was high on heavy medication. I went under the sheets. I heard birds chirping and the sun almost made me blind and woke up. I had my shorts and shirt still on. My eyes were still a little blurry. Aiden was watching me sleep .Are you ok he said. Yeah just a little confused about. He stopped me .I know the timing was awful he said But I needed to feel you with me sorry. “It is ok” I said” last night was very good “.I still couldn’t get enough I went on top of him and we started to kiss each other like we were very hungry it was crazy. My body felt like honey oozing out of a warm chocolate cake. My body was warm from the heat of outside coming in. He kissed me and I went down to check on Candice she was still sleeping as usual, she loved sleep. I woke her up and yelled her name .She fell of the bed .She looked around and was smiling and said I’m up! She got up and touched my arm and she had that look on her face like she was worried and she was right after all she was an empathic and then she skipped over to Malachi and touched his arm and said “What!” “You are having those kinds of dreams and you don’t tell me about them “and she laughed I was embarrassed. I laughed and looked around I wanted the awkwardness to be over. Candice called Mili to see if she was ok but no one answered and we were worried. Mili, Malachi and I got in the car and raced to the house, we didn’t need to knock the door was broken there was blood over the floor everything was a mess. Mili was hyperventilating I can tell she was terrified and crying inside. Aiden wanted us to stay outside but I couldn’t one of my best friends were in there and possibly dead or hurt. Adrienne was about to cream in horror but Aiden covered her mouth and told her to stay silent. “How dare you” said Candice “Who are you to tell me to stay quiet Mili could be dead.” “I know “Malachi said” but I didn’t mean it like that I meant you should stay quiet or they could know you are here and try to harm her even more to provoke you”. “Oh ok” said Candice” I’m sorry”. “That’s ok “Malachi said with a smile. We were looking every where for her. She was nowhere to be found. I was hoping that she was alive until we heard a faint scream it was coming from downstairs. Malachi wanted to lead the way and I let him.

  Chapter 4: I will hurt you

  The door to our chamber was noise proof and even if you scream you would hear a little sound but not too much. There was Mili sitting in the chair crying her writs were slit and bleeding she looked exhausted then all of a sudden she stopped breathing and Candice went to check on her pulse ,but there was nothing, she was dead. I wondered how that could be. This has never happened before she can’t be dead! I felt bad that I had left her alone that night. I saw the man that had beaten her cop that came to our house.” Vic why don’t you leave them alone” said Aiden.”You know him” I asked how? I said he is not a cop and he is my uncle. What? Can you do something? I asked because I work with him and I know all of his moves we murder at midnight.

  I realized that I already asked him that same question. I was scared and then I realized he was something else but couldn’t figure out what. Why didn’t you tell me I asked because I didn’t want you to be afraid of me he replied back. I stood there and understood why I mean if I was one I wouldn’t know what to say either. Vic said how are those miserable girls you saved are they dead yet or having nightmares about our encounters .Hearing them scream was very satisfying. So you were hurting them? I asked. Who else do you think was doing these things to him? He said and before we knew it Vic came running after us he tried to grab me but Aiden blocked him and sent him flying into the corner. I ran towards Mili and got her out of the seat and hid her in a closet downstairs. Candice hid with her. Malachi was fighting with Levine and things were flying everywhere I stayed out of the way so I wouldn’t get hurt and when I tried to help Aiden would push me back. Levine hit me and I was unconscious for a bit but I got back up. There was blood spilling everywhere .I felt like there was nothing I can do until finally I took out the Novocain and filled it up with the needle and stabbed him in his arms and chest. He couldn’t really move now. We strapped him to the table we would lay our victims on .I went to the closet and got Mili. Is it over Candice asked? Yes I replied so we took Mili out the chair and put her in bed, we cried day and night we didn’t even eat. Candice said “This is impossible she can’t be dead” and Malachi went into my room with me we all talked about what we should do with him and Candice and I told him what I have been doing with the men who had harmed women. Then I suggested we should leave Candice in her room maybe she will wake up. I felt horrible. He loved my idea and wanted to watch them suffer as well. We went back downstairs Levine was still laying there he hadn’t moved. We strapped him tightly around the waist and arms, and legs. Before we went upstairs we put a mask over his head and realized it wasn’t him it was someone else he had escaped. I was so angry. He had someone that resembled him to take his place, he is still out there said Malachi. We sat down to think and Malachi thought he had gone to his house. Mili had to rest also I didn’t know if she would wake up or come back to life and Candice stayed with her this time. We locked her door .Candice and I decided to not even perform anymore with out her Candice cried two days. We arrived at his house It was creepy and Malachi could smell him and I had this strange feeling that we were being watched. Before I knew it Aiden was on the floor Levine must have hit him but he was too fast for me to see. I ran upstairs but Levine was trying to drag me back down. I kicked him and ran into a dark room. It was about an hour until I felt that Levine had left his scent was evil. I turned on a ligh
t a dim light and I saw pictures of me on very corner of the walls. There was a knock on the door where the room I was hidden in it was Malachi he hugged me and asked If I was ok I said yes even though I wasn’t I was always thinking. I told him that Levine had pictures of me in the house and I asked him why you think he had them there. Of course Malachi joked that Levine thought I was alluring and beautiful “maybe he wanted to know more about you, or wanted to know your weakness or to learn how to kill you?” said Malachi. I don’t really have a weakness. His grin was turning evil and I had realized that Malachi was working with him. I tried to get out of the car as we were on the way to my house he tried to put his hands on my neck but I got away to fast. It was dark and I ran through the woods and I was looking back to see if he was there he wasn’t. I finally made it and my house wasn’t that far I went in and locked the door and screamed for Mili. They knew something was wrong and I told them that Levine and Malachi are trying to kill us.

  “I knew he wasn’t right “said Candice, I know I replied .We have to get ready get everything we need to kill them go down stairs an get ready, I was worried about Candice because she was hurt and I asked if she was up for a fight she said yes but still I didn’t want to see her hurt again.

  Chapter 5: blood and strings, I will hunt you down

  We went downstairs and got everything we could from gas masks, Novocain, and we were going to mix every drug we had in the basement like statins, lisinopril, meth and redilin. . We were going to mix them up and put them on feeding tubes. They were here, we hid and heard their footsteps come down stairs and then we jumped out and started fighting them trying to numb them with the Novocain but we were keep getting thrown all over they place and we noticed that they were getting tired, we had to tire them out and we got Malachi on the ground and we couldn’t control him but the tricky part was getting Levine but we had managed to get him and he almost escaped but Malachi did escape. Mili played the piano while we tortured him and we recorded some dark music for when we left. Our eyes turned to dark blue. He couldn’t move and we tied him down to the tables. Mili and I put our masks on to protect us we got the tubes and put it down their mouths and slid the drugs in, we cut his ears off and fed them to rats when we did this, we were tired but we couldn’t stop, we tore the skin off his abdomen, poured ammonia on him and gas and then we turned the carbon monoxide on. I got a guitar string and wrapped it around his well you know tightly and it was gushing blood, then we got a piano string and wrapped it around his throat it was bruising and turning red...Yeah that’s how bad it hurt him. I was pissed that we didn’t get Malachi but that was ok I used sex to know what his weakness was and I know it is my secret and no one else’s.

  We left the house before it exploded, the police came too late but they did get what he deserved .The house might have exploded but the music still played. . Mili looked at me and bursts into to tears because we couldn’t save Candice but then I heard something and we turned around it was Candice my heart our heart stopped and we were filled with joy and hugged her to death she smiled and said that she was out of the house before it even blew up, she looked healthy her wounds were gone and her heart was beating like it should be. I saw the little girl again that was strange she waved, I waved back. Anyway I can still hear his screams in my head. We left and never came back. Mili, Candice, and I were always killers it was always our secret, we were never scared or afraid of any man we just pretended to invite them in and kill them with our weapons and looks. I died inside emotionally all three of us did, I never had anyone and I can’t trust anyone. I feel so lonely and sad it hurts and someone broke my heart. It hurts to the point I cry and cry myself to sleep there is no one to hold me. I feel its been to long and I gave up and that is how I died that is how we died that is how we died and I cant explain this sick, disgusting, feeling of pain like I did something wrong but I didn’t do anything wrong and it hurt. I just couldn’t explain this feeling. Every time I get close to someone they leave and I always think it is my fault and it hurts that people always leave me and get tired of me. It hurts so bad that words can’t describe it. I know that I’m kind of shy but that shouldn’t be the reason to leave me. Never let anyone hurt you not even a man, rip his head off, and manipulate him to get the kill. Inside I’m sad, lonely, and hurt. That red velvet cupcake represented blood, romance, our musical murders and sex. My name is Autumn Moon, Isn’t our music lovely??

  Part 2 -The massacre

  Chapter 1: I saw you again

  It has been a two years since Malachi betrayed me. Candice and I were searching for him day and night while Mili rested. He was not going to get away with this and I couldn’t stop but think about that little girl, sometimes I think she is lost or just needs help. I feel connected to her like there is some bond there. I had to snap out of it Candice, Mili and I had another job to perform for a rich man in our town and we had to get up real early. We were getting dressed and packed up our instruments and left since Candice played piano we couldn’t take it with us so we left it home and the client already had one there. We arrived at the house and it was huge the man greeted us at the door and had his servants come help with our luggage ,the client seemed nice but still didn’t trust him. I know this is random but his house smelled good. Mili, Candice and I were setting up, we played a piece that we had written ourselves the beginning was dark and slow. I was having headache thinking about what I should do with Malachi. My eyes were closed while we were playing the song as usual and at the end I opened them. Everyone was clapping for us, they loved our music and we loved music it was our passion. They invited us to dinner but we had to decline and they were actually a normal family it was nice. Mili, Candice and I walked to the door and went home, then I saw some one at the corner of my eye and I knew who it was but ignored it Candice and Mili went inside then I came back out to confront him but he left I put all other midnight victims on hold but I can’t kill him. I rushed inside and told Candice and Mili that we need to find him, we went back out side and we kept searching but there was no luck and we even went to his house but no one there. We walked back home and went to bed I couldn’t sleep but I finally did, the light was in my face I hated the mornings I was so lazy I didn’t want to move, I hopped out of bed and went into the shower it was peaceful but I forgot my towel as my shower ended, I was naked and but then I felt someone behind me and I knew it was Malachi. I faced him and I kicked him in the neck he fell, he grabbed my leg and I tripped, he pinned me down and I spit in his face. We didn’t even talk because I was so angry for almost killing my friend and he hurt me. I ran downstairs called my friends and they came running. Mili already knew and had a machete in her hand and said “do you want me to kill him with this?” “Yes “I said. He has been watching us the whole time .We went down stairs to the basement thinking he was coming but he didn’t we didn’t hear anyone and we came back up but still no Mili. I still had a towel wrapped around me but then Candice said “maybe he went to Levine’s house he was working with him “and she was right. We put our clothes on until I heard a knock.

  Chapter 2: Who hurt you? Who are you?

  Mili opened the door it was the little girl again, she had long dark rustic auburn hair, and brown eyes, she was wearing a hooded black pea coat, brown shoes and she looked lie she had been crying. I asked her what was her name and she said “olive Lauren” and then I asked are you lost she said “no” she was smiling but it looked like she was hiding pain. So I asked her “what’s wrong?” she said “nothing “But I think she was lying something wasn’t right. Can I play with you guys?” I said “We would but do you have anyone you can play with? “No, no one likes me “she said. I asked why and she said “because I’m different” That is not true “but then I felt that there was something about her. I said and she didn’t look convinced. She got up and played with Candice’s hair...I said “lets take you back home “and she didn’t look happy.” I don’t want to go back” she said. I asked why and she replied “I hate home because it is bori
ng” .I knew she was lying so I held out my hand and walked her home and I told her if there is anything you need you can come back and if she was in trouble you can come to our house anytime . She smiled and hugged me I knocked on her door and a man opened it he didn’t look nice or pleasant. “Is this your daughter I asked?” “Yes it is and why is she out of the house?” He said. Now I really didn’t like him. I had to fake being nice “well I’m her music teacher and she came to my house for lessons” I said. I had to lie .He took her hand and said “next time call and she isn’t coming back. She looked scared and I knocked again maybe she can stay a night with me she will be safe” I said he said “No!” and shut the door. Even though I really wanted to find Malachi I had to help her so I put my problem aside and went back home to think.” So are we going to find Malachi?” said Mili,” No “I said “I have to help olive I think she is in trouble and her father is abusing her”. “Ok I would love to help” said Candice, Mili nodded her head agreeing. I wanted to go back to olives house but her father had an attitude over nothing and I needed sleep. Today Candice, Mili and I got dressed and knocked on olives door, but no one answered I was getting worried, we looked for her everywhere and we couldn’t find her. There was a lady that said she knew her and said that her father probably took her out of town and that he was an evil man but I still didn’t believe it but I did believe that he was mean ,in my mind he probably hurt her. It was getting late and I felt awful about not seeing her the night before, we were getting ready for bed until I heard a noise it seems that someone came in the house Mili went down to see who it was, she looked everyone but it was no one but then I saw a shadow behind the chair it was olive she looked scared and she was crying.” What happened?” I asked “my dad locked me in my room and I got out but then he caught me and pushed me down the stairs and threatened to burn me alive” she said shaking, He hurt her I was getting angry she was only ten, she had a little back pack with her. there was a knock on the door it was her dad I didn’t want to open up but I did anyway “Where is my daughter?” he shouted I replied back “I don’t know maybe you should find her” I snapped back, he got real close to me and said “ I know you know where she is and if …” If what? “I said “are you going to hurt me?” I snapped back again.” I know what you did to her” I said, he came back to me and replied “you know nothing she is a strange little girl and I smell evil in her”, I didn’t think she was evil she was a sweet innocent little girl.” If you hurt her again I will kill you myself” I told him and he said “try it “he went off I was glad he left. Olive still shaking in the corner I told her that she can stay night with us she was kind of smiling again .Mili took her upstairs and gave her a bath after that she opened her bag and got her shirt and shorts out and a teddy bear. She got dressed for bed luckily we had an extra room she wanted me to leave a light tone I did and she hugged me and said “good night and thank you”. I closed the door I went into my room and laid down but I heard my door open it was olive she climbed in my bed I didn’t do anything so I let her and she snuggled next to me and we both fell asleep.
