Life In The Fast Lane

Part 2

 

I was dead tired by the time my head hit the pillow after a well-earned massage from my wife Rhoda as she snuggled up against me placing her head on my chest, and stayed that way until the following morning finding her and Jackie gone, but not far as they run us a tub inside my adoptive parents bathroom. Rhoda had everything she needed to give me a hair treatment so I could match my adoptive parents. My hair had grown back some since the last one when I went home to see my mother. We had left it that way, but after two weeks of growth, my hair had turned my ginger hair to more of dark color as the other one had fade it.

The idea was to look like enough of each other this time around without looking more like Shawn when they had to cut both our hair short so our hair length and color would match, counting the broken leg and arm in a sling as a facial point. Now I was just Nate Carrion, who has had eye surgery over the last two weeks and another one so I could walk more, then I had before. Jarred had progressed more then I had, so they wouldn’t consider us both paralyzed beyond help. He had been practicing using a single cane and using the wheelchair to get him places faster. I too would be using a cane, but a double cane with help walking in a snail's pace.

The story was that our surgeries were a success that we should be up and walking without any help, but we needed the wheelchairs to get around. So Jared and I can participate in the pool an active only and so I could do other things like drivers ED the book part which would be taught during this quarter and the following known as winter quarter would be the driver portion where my wheelchair would be limited. Everything else was off limits. It was also to help disguise my real identity if someone saw me getting out of the Van and going to work or driving to work with Eli.

There were over 500 employees working around our area on Stringum’s housing development including his own new estate. Any of those employees could be working for the satanic church and that would be very bad if they saw me walking about without any kind of help soon.

Tony would be totally paralyzed so nobody here would recognize, in fact, looked like an average goofy teenager with sunglasses that were prescription so they would be told because his eyes were sensitive to light. Wearing the most outlandish disguise, which included several scars, and fake nose that looked like it had been broken in three places, plus his hair which was painted black with white strip down the middle and a ponytail, he wore biker rebel clothes like with silver rhinestones, that glistened in the sun as his main jacket with skull and crossbones on the back and on bedazzled on each of his front pockets. He looked awesome compared to Jared and I nobody would guess that he wasn’t a high school student.

We couldn’t dress in our wedding clothes until we arrived at the church house. After last time we took no chances as we bundled up tight nearly racing to our vehicles. Today was a trial run in our souped-up wheelchairs, that had to be where heavy as they had reassembled them the moment we stepped out of the limo with Stringum’s logo painted on the sides of them. The limos were basically made four wheels drive with big tires for the snow and the rough riding to make our ride smooth.

Plus it was to show off our wealth, including our robes that have been made of cotton silk compare to most member robes was just made cheaply except for those made of money. Who we were trying to attract as the High Bishop met us at the sidewalk stating we were people that got first class attention.

His cabin was also being built roughly the same sizes as Stringum’s almost right next to it maybe mile if that downward as well as High Judge Mr. Grayson, not far from his. In many ways, it stated they were far richer then us being somewhat above us looking over the valley. I am not saying they aren’t richer than us because they were, and they weren’t pretending to be rich like we were.

Yet it was more for prestige so they could hold large parties instead of renting a ballroom. Even Bishop Earl’s cabin when done can hold large events for at least 150 to guest’s dinner parties or more once the indoor-outdoor patio has been built. The only time that we showed off was out in public and that was here in church we wanted them to see us coming, we wanted them to flock to us begging to get to know us as the Carrion's and our very wealthy friends.

So it was our job to be flashy as we made our way inside finding that it had been redone with richly dressed curtains with plush soft comfortable chairs and our boxes were redone to accommodate our three wheelchairs, with a front row seats to the show. We didn’t have to be searched like we had been last time as we were taken our seats with our guests that were visiting us and that area had been roped off just for them.

On the main, the stage was four large metal cauldrons in each of the four corners on the stage. In the middle was the large alter draped with a black cloth with basic, a burning bowl and two golden chalices, below it was an identical alter for kneeling for special things from blessing a baby to the wedding ceremony.

On the sides were two large solid gold candle stands that held 7 white candles. Which was new, that wasn’t here last time. It was something you would see in old movies that stood on the floor and were about 5 or 6 feet high. They were unlit for now including the four metal cauldrons. Everything was set from the lighting to the sound; after all, it was or used to be an old stage where plays and musical programs played here and still do when it isn’t used as a church. In the middle of the stage was the large satanic symbol just like there was before with its candles around it the same circle, those too were lit.

Once they were made comfortable; we were led to the changing rooms to dawn on our wedding clothes. The wedding ceremony was a lot more basic than one we had gone through in Texas, where it combined the wedding with the birthing rights because we had already been married civilly and we wouldn’t need to sacrifice a lamb to consecrate our marriage. Or having them bless our unborn child, it was just a standard basic wedding that we consecrate our souls to the church and to their devil god. We only be going through the first part of the ceremony, where would each kneel at the altar and be married as we had done in Texas.

The only difference when it came to our parents, they would only be married to one husband and one wife as new converts to the church; later if they wanted to marry a second wife or husband they can, so I have been told. Today was all about a show of power and the very thing would be something they hadn’t seen in a very long time. So no one would dare question, it the right people was who they say are, because of the recent change in power, of the 9s, and the new Holy Queen.

They were opening their bag of tricks today to show that would squish the rumors even though they were true that High Bishop has turned tail even the rumor that Eli’s father had turned stateside evidence, as he too I was told that he would be making an appearance in the most unusual way.

Just like in a play the curtain usually rises, but there was no curtain as the stage was center stage as the audience sat around it in a horseshoe pattern either on movable bleachers or in a standing front row box, lined with plush cushion pads for measurable comfort was the people that sat in boxes row seats were given comfort high back chairs in the order of how wealthy and powerful they were. Today it was a full house because of who was attending, which included the 9s of Heber and the outlaying of small towns.

Many of them had been replaced after the raid at the school in Salt Lake City. They had agreed to let them play their little game of house, showing them how powerful they are. Yet I was told there would be something special happening today and I will get to that or it would ruin the show. Because the show will be something no one will forget today.

Once everyone took their seat the lights dimmed and the floodlights came on lighting up the stage leaving everyone else in the dark as the High Bishop made his way to the center of the stage. He gave a flush bow and said. “Thank you my brethren for coming today, my most esteem guest and the council of 9, as well as our New, favored of all woman the Holy Queen has taken me,  has her first husband, As you know we were married last week right here in this very church. As well as many others rededicating themselves to our God Lucifer and our true savor Mormo.

Tonight she is here to give special healing and as our true god to heal one of our own, for helping her remove the fallen queen, that has lost favor among us and our true God Lucifer, only punishable by death. For deceiving you the very people she was called to serve. Tonight she asking our God to make Nate Carrion whole so he might be able to walk among us and become her champion as well as his husband Eli Carrion, bestowing on them the rank of leadership as one of her Second Lieutenants, in training new converts as described in our most holly bible.

“You shall witness great power tonight my little flock, many of you are doubtful because of the recent advents that have taken place around the world as someone is targeting our members. My self have suffered a great loss and is giving the loss of my first wife, who was your Holy priestess, Tonight a new one will be called. May our God Lucifer and his savor bless that may be so.”

The audience repeated the mantra. ‘May our God Lucifer and his savor bless that may be so.’ The lights dimmed as the all the cauldrons around the stage were lit, by torches leaving just enough light around the stage so people could see, as the gong sounded as Mom and Dad were called to be married at the altar.

Yet apparently we weren’t told everything or least I wasn’t as everything changed the moment Mom and Dad took their place at the altar as Mr. and Mrs. Vincent joined them. Eli said. “Well, that doesn’t happen every day.” Stating not even Eli was told about the change in the program as Mom and Dad were being married to them. Mr. Vincent just became Dads first husband, and Mrs. Vincent just became Mom’s first wife. Eli stated it was power play making them a very powerful couple. The High Bishop used the Vincent’s real names.

Considering Stringum did and so did everyone else except Mom and Dad using our Carrion name so the satanic church wouldn’t get wise thinking they were somewhere in Saint George. Because they were from both wealthy families with powerful friends they each kept their last names, but married to them in the eyes of the Satanic Church.

Stringum and they had been talking about having the Rothwell’s have a tragic accident of some kind in the coming months. But the real issue was Shawn because that would make him an orphan since he is the only one of the family with the Rothwell name that never changes. And the prophets are aware of the fact that he is in Texas attending school there and so far has left him untouched, considering he is getting a very good education there and no longer living with his parents.

Which they wanted in the first place, hating the Rothwell’s for exposing them in Highland and the reputation of their prophet known as Crawford. They had agreed a truce that they make no more moves against him or his followers anywhere in the world.

Plus they have received a noticed that if they make any attempted to remove him from the school they will take action and wipe out our entire family; he can visit only, but must be returned within 72 hours to the school unharmed in any way. They had given up Arthur according to the state and given to Stringum, and so far they haven’t been interested because Stringum and Dr. Sars were to be believed to be practicing Satanism was exactly what they wanted and he had paper trail that said the State, not the Carrion's or Rothwell’s gave him to them.

The fact that he was mentally retarded had a lot to do with them leaving him alone. Because he couldn’t be touched, unless they wanted to lose Stringum’s support, and if they lost that they would lose the Carrion’s, the Benson, and the Earls support and all our friends. That they couldn’t afford, not after having a taste of the wealth that is shown here today.

The trick of the burning fire and the knife was still cool even though you know how the trick was done as they were all married together like we were in Texas. Once they were done with everyone else, it was our turn and being we were last to be called and wed. Yet what surprised me was Greg when they called his name as he stepped forward in his wedding clothes.

I had thought the agreement was he wasn’t going to be married to me until Thanksgiving as Eli and our wives were told to stand and give their permission for him to be wed to me as my seconded husband; giving him all the rights that Eli has as my first husband.

I heard many voices around me that said that it was a bold move for me to make, adding a second husband so quickly and placing me into a very powerful position with the Earls another wealthy family with power and connections. It caused a stir the moment Bishop Earl stepped forward giving Greg a ring identical to mine. They mixed Greg’s and his Dads blood with mine then mixed again with the wine and burned it little into the fire as it was poured directly over mine and Greg’s head consecrated our union as we all drank from the chalice. Greg was given the choice of retaining his last name or taking my Carrion name.

Everyone gasped as he took my name, lining our houses together. It will remain so until he takes his first wife and has his first boy child and that child would take my Carrion name as his middle name to show me respect. Eli's face was unreadable, but as he linked with me he said, “You just became a prime member of the satanic church and a target and second class member, which means you, will need an honor guard.” Once Greg was married to me he kissed me then Eli then each of our wives.

I whispered. “Do you know what you just did?”

He said. “Lining our houses and making you some sort of king in their eyes. Don’t get mad at me, it was our pal Jeff’s idea. He says it will you get us in the door, faster then if I kept my name, not only marrying me but my family. That if I did that it meant you have made known you are player lining yourself with wealth and power.”

I cursed wondering why Jeff didn’t tell me, hearing a whisper, “because you would have said no.” Greg surprised me as he went down on his knees and bowed onto the floor kissing my bare feet. Eli said they all had to indicate he was mine as Eli and the girls did like wises. Then they gasped a second time when the Earls also got on their knees and bowed as I was told in whispers by the High Bishop to walk in front of each of the Earls including their children who weren’t’ apart of the wedding ceremony. So they can show their respect to me.

Then they gasped again as the High Bishop and the High Judge Mr. Grayson also did likewise including their families as well as the two inquisitors. This showed that I was a very powerful and rich person. That I had been raised to a high position in the church because of what Eli and I had done by removing the fallen Queen from power and placed her as the new Holly Queen on to the throne as her champions. This called upon the High Bishop and the Judge to kneels in front of me as a sign of respect to me and their devil god. It also meant, the devil god was telling them; that I could be their next prophet in the years to come, or at least a High Bishop myself or even a High Judge.

The Holy Queen Dora who was now the High Bishop Colin’s, wife, made her way onto the stage with a very large honor guard causing everyone in the audience to go to their knees as I was called forth to the circle.  There was a loud gong, announcing my deeds of fighting to prove with the help of their devil god that the Queen in power was a fallen Queen and needed to be removed from her throne.

To them, it was a big deal even though I wasn’t responsible and was a team effort. Eli and I were given the credit because we changed one of their main rituals, that they had been practicing forever ever in their eyes, and this is what proved the Holy Queen had fallen, and the lies she was telling the church for her own benefit, not guiding the church as she had been called serve.

I took my time; I knew this part was going to happen. She was giving me the first rights and dedicating me and Eli as one of her loyal Second Lieutenants. I was told to come into the circle, by using my wheelchair, as they removed my wedding clothes while I was in it and laid a stretcher with gold polls and handles nearby with red pillow setting it down beside it for now. With a black cloth painted with a satanic cloth outlined in red matching the one on the floor and the surrounding curtains as drapery. Folded neatly to indicate I was about to blessed with a healing and given a title.

Man, I was glad I didn’t have a problem with everyone seeing me naked. Not that they could see much as her honor guard circled around me as Dora as Queen was about to anointment anointed me with oil. And heal me so I might walk again. It was to show that she has magical powers granted by their devil god bestowing on me a gift for destroying the fallen Queen and her minions that followed her. It was really a big deal according to the High Bishop and the High Judge. That when this type of ceremony is given people tend to notice, because it is a rarity that Queen her self bestows such a gift.

Even though it’s a bunch of smoking mirrors, meaning all an act and people believe it. It also states the Queen is very powerful if it works. We knew it would work because I really wasn’t paralyzed, but the members didn’t know that. We were using it so it would surprise them as I began showing signs of improvement a lot quicker, in fact, I would be capable of walking tonight as a wobbly drunk as people help me to my wheelchair. Which we had practiced so it was convincing that I was healed but my body needed time to recover fully when all I would need it would be a single cane in the next few weeks.

It began the moment I was in the circle as the queens honor guard circled me and with a wave of her hand the candles around the circle on the floor where the satanic symbol was painted on lit one by one the two candle stands in a burst of light with no one touching them to state that Queen did it by using the power that had been given to her. Causing the lights to go on the stage to go out using the only the candlelight and the four burning cauldrons as our light.

Someone had moved the smaller alter off to the side of the stage as the big alter was moved into the middle of the large circle as if by magic as she used hand gestures as it picked itself up and floated above the lit candles on the floor and lowered its self-right were she wanted it. Which was marked with brown stage tape, it looked really cool seeing it do that, but knowing that it was on wheels and hydraulics, unseen by the audience; making her look as if she was doing it instead of someone using a remote control to move in out of its place. Even the candles were made to look as if she had lit them; using small gas lines to lit them and distinguishes them at will.
