Traps

##Johny##

I wish she would stop talking for us to go back home, my plans were to be alone with her all day, but our day got spoiled by this fest. It was just supposed to be a quick decision, but no, she turned it into a party. I don't know how long I could hold it. I took off my suppressant; my scent quickly filled the air. I hope Noone notice. The sun was going down, we ate, we danced. Now, I want my wife to myself. I finally found the one compatible with me. I want to explore so much with her. Stephanie would usually tell me "not to put everything in," But Carla wants me to. I love her so much. She's been doing such a good job. I wanna show her Something new, Something I know she will love in the bedroom. I took the liberty to let the elders know that me and Carla were leaving, they nodded their thanks. I explain we are their alliance as well, so If they ever need anything, all they have to do is ask. If we are able to, we will help. They praise me for my honesty. She was talking about the gathering tomorrow. Wanting the singing trees at her funeral, my parents laughed, but She was sincere. Why does she want the singing trees to sing at her funeral? Why is she even talking about funerals right now? I opened the carriage for her, and she got In.

King: Wait, when yall take the carriage, how am I supposed to get home? Not to mention your Queen?

Carla: When was the last time you took her for a stroll under the moon?

My Mom started to blush. My dad pulled her closer to him, smiling proudly.

King: Yall kids go head; it's okay to use the carriage until she can fully control her powers.

Queen: Yes, go ahead

King: My Queen, it's been a while since we put our own stars in the atmosphere

Queen: Ohhh Bob

They shared a passionate kiss; I left; that was not cute to watch. We were riding in the carriage, and Carla said

Carla: Do you think the gods will kill me? Or like... kill me, then feel bad and revive me?

Johny: No, don't overthink it.

We made it back to the castle Same conversation. We got in our room. Still talking about them killing her... "I didn't want to talk about that, Carla." I thought to myself.

Carla: Maybe it's best not to say a word

Johny: Whatever you say, you'll have a good reason for saying it.

We went to take a shower, still the same conversation.

Carla: My mouth does say some stupid things

Johny: I don't believe they invited you for your simple mind. Be yourself am sure they will love you.

We got in bed, am thinking we can... nope! Still the same conversation. Laying her head on me, still talking about tomorrow.

Carla: What do you think of the afterlife?

Johny: I believe we meet father creation, the one that creates us all.

Carla: On earth, we call him god.

Johny: Yes, hahaha, I think they do.

Carla: Do you think Hell exists?

Johny: Denying Hell would be to deny lucifer. I believe He exists.

We talked the whole night through, and part of me realized it's a blessing to find someone you can talk to, not just rub yourself against.

##Carla##

It's tomorrow already, and am freaking out. Johny was asleep. I went to shower then called the servants to get me ready. They brought this beautiful dress, white all over but with Golden ruffles in the middle. The trimmings started from my chest to the end of the dress; it was not too big, just enough to cover my breast but not wide enough to reach my shoulders.

Carla: Baby, get up.

Johny: Oh! It's morning already?

Carla: Yes!

Johny: You're dressed already?

Carla: Yes, because we never specified on a time.

Johny: Alright, I'll get up. I gotta show you how to properly wake a man up when their sleeping.

I smiled, knowing where He was getting at. Since last night I've been getting this manly smell off him, it smelled good, but I couldn't put my hands on what it means. We both got dressed and headed down for breakfast. Not soon after.

Lady Universe: Good morning

Carla: Am I going to die?

Lady Universe: Why would you think that?

Johny: My parents frighten her.

He said, shoving pieces of pancakes inside his mouth.

Lady Universe: No, I wouldn't let that happen.

My baby was wearing a black blazer with a white dress shirt underneath, Black and white pants with black shoes? Hair faded in the back, leaving a little on the top. He looks so sexy.

Lady Universe: I wanted to say thank you for Saving the Dragons yesterday.

Carla: Oh

Lady Universe: Although I would have supported any decision you made.

Carla: How can I let them die? You had pain in your voice when you talked about them. When Nature was suffocating one, I could see it hurt you too. I couldn't call myself your friend if I don't protect what's precious to you?

She smiled, Then pointed to this chariot outside, guided by 2 horses, eyes glowing like fire. We got on; the horses started galloping towards the sky.

University lady: You might get wet in this part

Carla: Wet?

Then I saw the ocean again, but the animals up there were not from Instalaxia. We passed through the ocean and then the clouds again.

Carla: Why is there water up here?

Universe lady: Remember in the beginning, the earth was without form?

Carla: Yeah, isn't that from the Bible?

Universe lady: Yes

Carla: That doesn't explain the water?

Universe lady: Then it proceeds on genesis to explain god separating the waters.

Carla: Honestly, I thought religion was bull; you just gotta do good by people.

Universe lady: You are an atheist?

Carla: Am not anything am just me.

Johny: That's atheism, baby

Carla: Yeah?

Johny: You believe "if you don't do it, then it won't get done."

Carla: Yeah

Johny: Honestly, babe, that's just me, my sweets.

He warns

Johny: I believe those categories of people are insulting to me.

Universe lady: There is some upside to being an atheist, of course, downside too.

Carla: Okay?

Universe lady: There will be a judgment day for all of us, even me. You won't stand with any God or Goddess, just you by yourself. You will have several bags behind you repressing your good deeds, the good things you have done for people, etc. The Creator will have your wrongdoings in front of him. You need a bridge to bring your good deeds over, hoping their weight is more significant than your wrongdoing. If your god or whoever you serve gets sentenced to Hell, so are their followers.

Carla: Okay...

Universe lady: The God or Goddess you serve would have been that bridge.

Carla: Soo I can't be my own bridge?

Universe lady: No

She giggled. There is so much I did not know.

Johny: Jesus gave a clue.

Carla: What do you mean?

Universe lady: Honestly, Christianity gets so many clues. I don't know how they are still oo lost? Not everyone but some.

Johny: Him saying His the way to the father.

Carla: Well then, it's best if I don't say a word then. I don't want to say something ignorance to avoid catching the wrong attention.

We arrived on this narrowed way. The trees kept on changing colors frequently. They would bloom, and the next minute, all the leaves were on the ground resembling the fall season.

Carla: Should the trees do that?

Universe lady: In this realm, time passes quickly, years pass in seconds. The trees go through 4 seasons: winter, spring, fall, and summer.

Carla: Neat.

Universe lady: We are just ahead.

Carla: Does it mean I will be 20 when I get out of here.

Universe lady: Hypothetically, yes, if you belong in this realm, but you don't, it won't affect you for quite some time.

Carla: Like, how much time?

Universe lady: Twenty-four hours

Carla: Understood.

We arrived at this beautiful garden, tables were everywhere, and each had 4 seats. White chairs, white Tablecloth, white napkin, the silverware, however, was gold and silver, stunning.

Nature: Welcome!

Carla: You're in a good mood.

Johny: She means hello.

Johny said While staring at me.

Universe lady: You're right; she is in a good mood

Nature: Find your seat!! Am sure you all know how to read? Find your name!

Everyone laughed. Her niceness went straight out the window. Johny, universe lady, and some wind guy had a table to ourselves. I guess Nature was being mean to not call him by his name? Haha, wind guy? We took our seats as the guest started to arrive.

Wind: This is my seat

Carla: Are you wind?

Wind: Hey, why I gotta sit by the mortals!?

Completely ignoring me. An active tornado, whooshing, imitating the wind, resembled his hair.

Nature: Why are you sitting by a mortal? BECAUSE I SAID SO, YOU LOOK LIKE A MORTAL! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? AND STOP THAT TORNADO ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD; IF THAT GROWS AND BECOMES A ACTUAL TORNADO, SO HELP ME, FATHER!

Me and Johny were trying not to laugh... She really has anger issues.

Wind: She is soooo unreasonable!

Universe lady: The tornado does look a bit silly

Wind: That's my new look

Universe lady: Wow, Standing in the four corners of the world can definitely make a man bored, huh?

Wind: Funny, I like how you say, man! Funny.

Carla: Is that your true form or?

Wind: No, my name is URIEL! Not wind.

Carla: Is this your true form?

Wind: Wind is my Job description until Judgment day.

I was starting to get aggravated with this guy.

Carla: Is That Your True Form Or?

Uriel: Do you ever let someone talk, Mortal?

I could feel Johny gently pressing my legs under the table as if he is telling me "to behave." I decided am not going to say anything anymore. What was the point? They are just going to ignore me. Why did I agree to come? God's are jerks.

There was this goat-like creature that came. Then this other guy, illuminating in blue light, that was pretty awesome.

Johny: Are you having a good time, my sweets?

Carla: Absolutely not. I wish I didn't come.

Uriel: You and I both.

Johny started to laugh.

Johny: If you want to, we could talk about Something.

Carla: Like what?

I said, pounding my lips like a child who was disappointed.

He leaned towards my ears.

Johny: What a great job you did yesterday.

I turn to him excitingly.

Carla: You think so?

The party started to pick up as more guests arrived. Nature got in the center of everyone, making an announcement.

Nature: Thanks, everyone, for coming. I know it's hard to find time to meet.

She walked over to where me and Johny seated.

Nature: You made the dragons escape their punishment.

Carla: Am sorry I don't follow?

Nature: You created neutral grounds. No God or Goddess can touch them when they are in your creation, The only one who can is the father of creation himself. I can't even starve them anymore because underneath the mountains you created; you have larvae and crustaceans insects, not to mention carbohydrates; there is Something new you created too, this weird seaweed which causes the fishes to multiply even faster. They will never go hungry; you made sure of that. Neutral ground means everyone is in agreement. To punish one would be to punish them all. I couldn't do that. It's injustice.

Carla: Um

Nature: Do you understand what you have done? I can't make their trees not grow on neutral ground. We are gods, yes! But respecting balance keeps us from falling into chaos. Not to mention their flowers are becoming brighter each passing day.

Our conversation came to a halt as this weird-looking god approached us. Both men and goat facial features, No shirt, Perky female breast, genie pants. He has red a stick with two serpents wrapped around it on his lower abdomen.

Universe lady: Listened to me.

She said in a serious tone. As the guy made his way to us.

Universe lady: Whatever He offers you, agree, okay. To not agree is to be disrespectful. If the offer is bad, I will intervene. Always wait 10 seconds before responding. Give me time to say Something if need be.

Carla: Okay

He finally reached our table.

Goat: You are the famous Mortal?

Waited 10 seconds

Carla: Carla is the name Mortal is just a description.

Uriel laughed, knowing that was directed at him.

Goat: My name is Baphomet

Nature: The spawn of Satan

Goat: Calling me His duplicate is too great of an honor.

Nature: Where is morning star?

Baphomet: When He left heaven, He left that name too.

Nature: As I remember correctly, He did not leave. Now did He?

He looked at her with such hatred.

Baphomet: Anyways, I would like to offer you Something

Wait 10 seconds

Lady universe: What are you up to?

Baphomet: You know it is custom.

Lady universe: Come on, Baphomet, this is not that type of event, and you know it.

Uriel: I will not babysit her for a whole day.

Nature: I have a lot on my plate as well

Baphomet: But it's customary when a mortal find favor in front of god's

Nature: I am warning you, don't speak it into the atmosphere; seriously, don't speak it to existence.

Baphomet: You have to visit 7 gods to see if you are worthy of such favor.

He said with a creepy smile. Like an old man who knows everyone will hate what he is going to say, but He does it anyway out of pure evilness.

Uriel: Ohh, man, why did you invite this grandpa? No one likes him!

Carla: Don't you mean we?

Baphomet: No, you!

Wait 10 seconds

Carla: I will not decline your generous offer, but I can't come as a half; you would want me whole, yes?

Baphomet: That doesn't make sense, mortal; of course, I would want you to come as a whole. Haha, can you imagine half of you strolling in? Haha, You would probably die from bleeding too much.

Wait 10 second

Carla: Hm, It would be funny without my other half.

Baphomet: Wait, what.

Wait 10 seconds

Carla: In the marital sense, Me and Him are whole.

Baphomet: It's not lady-like to withhold vital information

Wait 10 seconds

Carla: Yet, it's not a sin.

Lady universe: I think it's time to go back.

Baphomet: I will pick you up Mortal for your visit with lucifer.

Universe lady: Your despicable goat.

Baphomet: I will bring the hounds just in case you want to hide from me.

Wait 10 seconds.

Carla: When

Baphomet: Let's do it tomorrow afternoon.

Wait 10 seconds

Carla: Agreed

I got up, following lady universe. Everyone seemed oddly silenced. Somehow very sad. When we returned to Instalaxia, I went to my room without saying a word. A few minutes the king and Queen followed.

Queen: Yayy, your back

King: I gotta be honest, with that mouth of yours, I didn't have any faith

Carla: Thank you for your support

I said sarcastically

Queen: You look down. What happened?

Carla: I have to visit Hell

Queen: Thee Hell?

King: That mouth of yours.

Queen: Stop, Bob

Carla: I got Johny in it too. I think He's mad at me; when we got off the chariot, He flew away.

Queen: I'm sure His just overwhelmed. He would of never let you go by yourself in the first place.

King: Haha, I'll never get tired of you.

He kept laughing, exiting my room. I took a shower and waited for Johny to come back. A few hours passed until I heard someone at the door. I quickly got up, thinking it was Johny.

Sarah: Apologies, my Queen. Am I interrupting?

Carla: No, you're fine.

Sarah: I have been assigned as your instructor. We will start training the day after tomorrow.

Carla: For??

Sarah: For you to know how to properly use your powers.

Carla: Okay, hey! have you seen Johny?

Sarah: Oh yeah, he's in the library.

Carla: You guys have a library?

Sarah: What castle do you know doesn't have a library?

Carla: Which way?

Sarah: Go straight down through the double doors; first left should be a book floating in the air; that's the library.

I quickly put on some shorts with a shirt and followed directions precisely until I found the library. His eyes never waver from the pile of books he kept reading. Why did they look so dark?

Carla: What are you doing?

Johny: Oh, um, reading up Hell

Carla: Curiosity, huh?

Johny: I want to make sure to protect you.

Carla: Oh, I see. Is that why you're in your Intalaxian form? Planning on studying all night?

Johny: That's the plan

Carla: You sure?

I said while sitting on him.

Johny: You don't want to know how to defend yourself?

Carla: Nope

Johny: What if you die?

Carla: Then it was my time to go.

Johny: What if I die?

Carla: Don't be absurd. Honestly, your chances of surviving this are pretty big.

Johny: I know. But your mouth, though.

Carla: You mean this mouth?

I said while kissing him.

Johny: Babe, seriously

Carla: Fine.

Getting off him.

Carla: I hope you know the more you read about them, the more you will hate them. You can't go in there with mixed feelings; they can sense that genius.

##Johny##

I haven't thought about it like that. To go in blind is a fool's strategy.
