The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Chapter 25: Part One Pedition

We approach the wooden building where the car is I still cannot believe no one is following us. “Be

careful. We will only have a few seconds once we get inside to get the car and get the hell out of here.

We need to go in on that side.” She points to the east side of the building.

We remain silent for the rest of the walk. I can hear rustling in the building. I thought this was going to

be easy but I guess not. Something is moving in there. The side door opens and it’s Sarge. That means

Labith is here.

We run for the door. “Come on” Labith screams to us. Sarge is running to me. He gets behind me and

Key to protect us as we make it to the door. I look behind me and Its Daniel. Shit. The cloaking spell

has worn off.

“Just go Perdition. I will find you.” Key says as she rushes towards Daniel to stop him. I make it to the

door.

“Camilla is trapped and Key is trying to block Daniel so I can get out of here,” I tell Labith.

“I need you to go to Sam. We have a plan for once. Humans are strange. I will get Key and meet you at

the bar. Take Sarge with you for protection.” She pushes me into a black mustang.

“Labith I do not know how to drive,” I scream out the window.

“Figure it out and get out of here.” She says as she goes after Key.

“Sarge you might want to put on your seatbelt this is going to be a bumpy ride.” I pat his head and

attempt to get us out of this hell we are in. “It’s just me and you again.”

As I crank the car a hand slams down on the open window. “Let me drive.” It’s Chaos.

I jump over into the passenger seat and let him into the car. There is no need to argue with him. I need

his help. Chaos takes over. Sarge is sitting in the backseat, ears back eyeballing Chaos.

“It’s okay boy. We need his help.” I tell him. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Chaos puts the car in gear and we are off. “Listen P. I know you don’t like me and that is fine, but you

need to know Sam and my brother were never trying to hurt you.” He says.

“I know. But why is it everyone feels the need to baby me? Why were my memories erased? Why am I

important?” I ask him.

“P. We have to get closer to the bar and I will be happy to tell you more than anyone else has bothered

to tell you. I will be completely honest with you. Before you start interrogating me can we please put

some miles between us and your deranged brother?” He is sincere.

“Yes. Get us the hell out of here.” I reply.

As we fly down a highway that seems almost deserted, I close my eyes. I hope Camilla Dawn survives

this. Her twins. Where in the hell did she hide them? Why did Chaos decide to help us? I cannot

overthink this. I will hear him out. He better be nice.

“Stop it!” Chaos says to me. “This is why your memories are blocked. You’ve always been like this. As

long as I have known you, you can’t help but over-analyze everything.” He is right.

I need everything to be right in front of me, well planned and well organized. I cannot have bumps in

the road.

“Wait? What do you mean? As long as you’ve known me?” I ask him.

“I have known you much longer than Mayhem. We were friends once. We were close friends.” He says.

“

Should I be afraid Chaos?” I ask.

“Yes. You should, but not of me Perdition. I am not your enemy.” He says. He never takes his eyes off

the road. “ I am going to give you all of your memories back.”

“How?” I ask. “Another potion? Nothing has completely worked. I only have fragments.”

“The person who blocked your memories can give them back.” He says. “Perdition I took your

memories and stored them. Do you want them?”

“Why did you take my memories?” I ask.

Chaos stops the car. He keeps looking forward. “Because P. You asked me to remove the pain.”

We sat in silence. I forget for a moment that my brother was sadistic. I forget that Camilla Dawn was in

trouble. I forget that unborn twins are hiding from the world and I forget that my children are missing. I

sit here realizing I have forgotten a lot of things and it is time I know.

“Chaos give me all my memories back please,” I say to him. I sound like a wounded animal begging

for my life. I guess I am. I need to know.

“The pain will come back with the memories. The pain is our pain. The pain of losing.” He stops. “You

told me to never give you back the pain.”

“I changed my mind.” I reach for him. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a small red stone. It looks

like a red raven. The eyes are purple. It places it in my hand.

“This stone contains the real you.” He says and starts to dive.

I examine the stone. I look back to see his face. A tear is running down his cheek.

I hold the stone for a long time. “When you are ready P.” he chokes back his emotions. “If there is a hell

I will meet you there P. I should’ve never left you to… I should have stayed. I am sorry P”

“When you are ready just tell the stone and you will know everything.” He keeps looking forward.

“I am ready” I hold the stone tight. I close my eyes and prepare myself for the worst.

“No! I remember everything! Why Chaos” I scream. As we drive toward the frog pen bar I know what I

have to do. I know who I am.

I am Perdition. I am the Queen Of Hell. I am not here to save anyone. I am here to destroy the

topside.
