The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Chapter 23: Part One Pedition

A young lady joins me and Camilla Dawn. “Come with me.” She insists.

She was not rude but she was not very nice either. Well, I guess we should follow her. I am

prepared for anything at this point.

“Do not worry sugar. I got this.” Camilla whispers to me. I know she does. I wonder where

Brooke is. I hope she hasn’t betrayed us. It really wouldn’t surprise me. We follow the young lady with

the long white hair down a long hall.

Ancient pictures are hanging on the walls of the hall as we walk. I try to look at every one of

them but the white-haired lady is walking fast.

“Who are these people?” I ask.

She stops and looks at me, It’s an odd pause before she answers me. “They are the ones who

have served Daniel for many years. We are his kingdom.” She replies.

She immediately turns around and keeps walking quickly. Camilla Dawn grabs my arms tightly.

“If anything seems like it might happen to me. Get to me quickly. I do not care how. I have to

give you something before they kill me.” She whispers.

I was not afraid before but I am now. The halls are so long. I hope I can find my way out if I

need to. The young lady with white hair finally stops in front of a room. The door is painted with a

magnolia. The smell is magnolia. I smell my mother. She is here.

The bride of Lucifer, my mother is here in a compound of crazies in the middle of nowhere. We

walk past the young lady and I stop. I have to know her name.

“May I have your name please?” I ask. She is reluctant. Daniel appears at the door.

“Tell her.” He demands.

“My name is your name Perdition.” She smiles and walks away.

“Come Perdition, We have much to discuss. Camilla, Brooke is waiting for you.” He barks at

her.

“Yes sir.” She doesn’t argue, she just goes to where he is pointing.

He leads me to a corner of this huge room. There are so many people here.

“Why is Sunnie here, Daniel? I thought she had betrayed everyone. She tried to kill me.” I ask. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Daniel leads me to a wingback gold chair. “Sit.” He tells me.

I comply. I sit down. “Sunnie works for me. I told her to kill you. I also told her to kill Camilla

Dawn.” At least he is telling me the truth.

“Who has my children?” I ask.

“Izzy, do you even remember ever having children? Do you remember your time in the void with

Mayhem? Do you remember anything? Pull yourself together. You do not have children. Those are

mine. They escaped from the compound. Camilla Dawn found them in the void and gave them to you

to care for. You are not a mother. You are a weak excuse for a sister. I have built an empire here on the

topside. I am going to destroy this place. Only my people will remain. There will be no heaven or hell

just the chosen ones.”

He walks away from me and leaves me stunned sitting in a gold chair. He plans to kill me. I

know it.

Camilla Dawn was right they are planning to kill her but why? Whose children did I care for in

the underworld? Where do Mayhem and Chaos fit into this? Why isn’t the apple working for me?

The lady with the long white hair comes back to me; she is carrying a small white teacup. She

hands me the teacup.

“Drink.” She says and walks away.

I hold the cup in my hand for a moment. I can hear Camilla in my head saying drink it quickly. I

drink it. My brother rushes back into the room he is angry.

“Who gave that to you?” he asks. I do not answer.

Camilla is running. I can hear her running for her life. I close my eyes to try to find her. Sunnie

appears in my vision. I got to get out of here. I try to get up but Daniel is holding me.

“Let me go, Daniel. Camilla needs me.” Brooke appears.

“Daniel, Sunnie is trying to kill Camilla. We have to do something?” She screams.

Daniel is not bothered. He doesn’t seem to care. “I know I told her to take care of the problem.

We no longer need her.” He turns quickly to Brooke. “Do as you are told my love or you will be next.”

“She is pregnant Daniel. She is pregnant with your child! Do you not care?” I ask him.

He does not respond to me. “Tell me who gave you the tea Izzy?” he asks.

He is so angry. The chosen ones begin to merge into the small room I am in. I have to get out of

here and help Camilla Dawn. How did she know she would die tonight? The gray-haired lady comes to

me quickly. She runs past Daniel and grabs me. She places a small bag in my pocket and begins to

recite a spell in an ancient language. I know these words I have heard them before. Daniel is trying to

grab her but her powers are strong. She keeps chanting until an energy burst pushes me out of the

room.

I am standing at the front door. I have to move. My body is being stubborn. Shake it off

Perdition. I collect my thoughts and start running across the field toward the magnolia trees. I bet they

have Camilla Dawn at the trees. I am running fast. I can hear her more now than before it must be the

tea. It has to be the tea. I have no idea how to help her. Brooke and Sunnie have her. I am going to kill

that bitch. The trees are insight. The rows and rows of sunflowers seem longer than before. I have to

keep going. I am coming Camilla Dawn do not give up.
