Let me begin how all other stories begin, from the beginning. So in the beginning there was my grandma and my grandpa on my moms side of the family. My family started with a friendship that blossomed into a bond that is so strong that not even death could part them. Let me put it as my grandma did, "We were two very opposites who really did attract." Him being in the air force, and her a student at the college in Virginia, they were not a match made in heaven let me tell you. They met one day while he was stationed there. He noticed her as she was coming out of a convenient store with her friends from school and that is when he made the mistake of his life, he whistled at her and hollered out saying, "Hey there sexy lady, come here!" Well you see my grandpa was a rolling stone but my grandma, now she is a proper lady. I mean dresses, hair up in a bun the works. She walks up to him maintaining a smile and didn't say a word, she balled up her fist and before he knew it she had punched him dead in his face. As he was picking his ass up off the ground she asked, "Do I look like a dog to you sir?" He said, "No ma'am!!" While he was rubbing his cheek and smiling back at her. She said, "Well then I suggest you address me as a lady, and ask me out on a date." He said, "Yes ma'am, will you please go to the movies with me tomorrow evening?" She said, "Now that is more like it, yes, yes I will." Thus started my family tree. Oh she was his rock when he needed to feel grounded and he was her wings when she wanted to feel free. They ended up marrying and having three children, two sons and one daughter, my momma.

My grandma called her, her miracle baby, because neither her nor the docs thought she was going to make it, but what they didn't know was that this woman was a beast and she was determined to live, and boy did she ever. My grandma was looking forward to having a little girl to share all of her things with and play dress-up with. So, without further ado and in no time flat on July the 14th at 3:45 pm my mother, my angel, my rock, superwoman of all women was born. This fiery redhead was bound for greatness. She was the apple of her daddy's eye and her mother's best, best friend as she was mine as well. I am not going to put real names in here for privacy reasons so we will call her what my grandpa called her when she was a little girl, we will call her Red. So, as Red started to grow up and blossom as she should, her mother and father thought that the boys were going to be an issue but this fiery redhead, rebel without a cause ass would be the smartest and most tomboyish person they had ever met, so my grandmother was dissapoinmted, no one to play dress up with, she liked to beat up boys and play in the mud. Well as she started to bloom into a young lady, so did all the young men she grew up with. They were flocking to her like she was something they had never seen before. She was very popular and liked by most of the guys and the girls alike. So, let's start when she was in high school and how she met the one she was bound to be with. She was, I believe 16 at the time and the one, we will just call him the preachers son. He was just that the preacher's boy, but how she knew this he could nevetr tell, but to him it was love at first sight. Now I know what you are thinking, "Eww sappy, not another dumb ass love story with the same shit envolved!!" Well, it's not so shut up and read. So, she and her friends were on lunch and were outside on the school grounds where she was sitiing on a benc, something drew her gaze from her food to a scuffle behind a tree. She saw the three punks who were the school bullies over ther with this boy and were trying to gang up on him. She said out loud, "Yes, I have been waiting for a reason to beat a punks ass today, thank you, thank you!!" She got up and started towards the tree, her friends were like "Oh shit, where they at Red???" She said to them, "follow me". As she came around the tree to see just what it was Larry, Curley and Mo were doing, now, let me chime in and say this, I am going to tell this as it was told to me by that very same preachers boy. He said, " I couldn't beieve it, she was the most beautiful angel I had ever seen and she came around that tree all I could see was those beautiful blue eyes and that fiery red, thick , long hair flow in the wind and the sun shined off each strand as if her hair was made of gold, and she grabbed the cig out of my hand took a big puff and said, "Now why are you three punks trying to gang up on a preacher's son?" He thoguht to himself, I have never met this women until today so how did she know I was a preacher's son??" She threw the cig on the ground as Larry, Curley and Mo begged her to spare them, and they did not know that he was her friend nor did they know that he was a preachers son. Spare them he thought?? What is that about?? But he didn't care his thoughts were only on her and her beauty and her very heroics. They ran as she turned around and offered him her hand and that's what started his mission to be with this women no matter what it took. So, he was the one with the car, and license and was old enough to buy the alcohol and cigs she liked so that's how their friendship started and this is the beginning of what would be my mother's misery and heartache. So, she skipped school with the preachers boy one day to go to their hangout spot and just chill when the preacher's boys dreams, or so he thought, were coming true. She got tipsy and kissed his ass knowing damn well that he was head over hills in love with her, her feelings were not the same at the time, she just wanted a way to get away and he just wanted her. So, after that mistake they were riding down the street to go to the hangout spot when she noticed, (as she described it to him) "a young handome fine ass man, walking down the street!!" He floored it as they passed him because he knew exactly who it was and he knew that he was a dog and didn't know how to treat a lady and he was not going to have that asshole hitting on his lady. But, as they were riding by she asked the preacher's son, "Well, who is that you suppose?" He said, "Oh, that's my cousin." We will call him "dick head". That was his cousin dick head. She said, "you really aren't going to pick him up? Your just going to let him walk as hot as it is out here? Don't do that go back and pick him up." So he did and as dick head got in the car he seen Red and asked the preacher's boy, "Well, arent you going to introduce us fat ass?" He said, "No, that right there is my lady and she is off limits to you, you got it?" He said, " I don't give a fuck what you say, I am going to get me some of that!!" Thus started the shit show, and a love triangle that would ultomatly lead to lies, treat and desceipt. This was when she came into her powers as a white witch and found out how powerful she really was.

Chapter 2: White Witch and her Curse

As my mother got older she realised that she possesed some rare powers that superceded any others, and she dabbled a bit into the occult and things just to kind of see what it was about, and where she fits in all of it. She was what we called a "good witch" or a "white witch", only capable of good because she was so pure. Well when she met dick head, you know the one in part one? All this would soon change for her and who she was meant to become. We all know that everyone handles trauma, and heartache differently and what we may see at the time the trauma takes place or what we may compare it to may not actualy be what we say, or what we really see or witnessed. You know like putting the jolly green giant as a metaphor for someone who may see as very tall. So, this part of the story is going to be where you have an open mind or it will freak you the fuck out and also may be taken for what it may or may have not really been.

Red, ended up marrying the dick head because he got her pregnant with her first child, a baby boy. Since time began God had not created only one women, for Adam, but two. The first we know as Lillith. Lillith was created the same as Adam, from the sand. So, with that being said she wanted to be in charge of things just as he was. But God told her "You will be for Adam and comfort him in times of loneliness nothing more." Lillith not wanting to obey rebelled against God and God gave her a choice, as he does with all of creation. Either she could be as he intended or she would have to leave the Garden of Eden for good. Now what was said in the textbooks is that she left and God, seeing Adams sadness and lonliness decided to put him to sleep, take a rib from him and create who we know as Eve. So, Lillith, being jealous of Adam and Eve's happiness and love, shape shifted into a snake and snuck back into the Garden of Eden and talked Eve into eating from the tree of life. Therefore dooming us all. Lillith was turned into a demon by God and she was then labeled as a taker of children. She would, as the legends say, take the first born of some and cause disease and death of children. Now with you knowing this let me tell you how Red told the story to me. Like I said she dabbled in a bit of everything and I mean everything dealing with the occult that means evil shit as well. She would go to the field of the ladies meeting place and would dance under the full moons with her ladies in white. She was the ripe age of 22 and pregnant with her first born. She told me like this.... "This was the happiest day of my life, even though his daddy and I were not doing so well as far as relationship wise and he didn't want to be a dad or tied down to just one women his entire life, I was still happy to bring my baby, my son into this world and was ready to show him all the beautiful things in life. The night finally came and this beautiful blue-eyed boy was laid on my bear chest and I could tell something was wrong right away because as soon as he was place on my chest they snatched him back up and the doctor had to pop him several times on the behind to get him to cry, finally I heard that cry and a sigh of relief came out of me that you could only imagine, then they laid him back on my chest and I looked at him as I cried and whispered in his ear, like I have done all of you on the days you were born, I whispered in his ear, "I love you more than life, more than this air I call breath, I will protect you, I will cherish you, no one will ever hurt you my life my love my first my baby boy!!" So, it was finaly the day, the day she got to go home with her baby boy when she started noticing something strange about her baby that she knew couldn't be normal. He was only three days old and ever since she got him home she had not slept because what she didn't know yet was that he had colich. This is a sickness that some newborns get and in some cases it can cause SIDS, (crib death), but sometimes it will go away as the child gets a bit older. This is a sickness that is very painful to the baby though because it causes cramps from gas so he cried and cried and cried and she didnt sleep. Dick head couldn't stand it and would yell at her and holler and ask her why she couldn't get him to shut-up. So, he left and supposedly went to a friends but we all know he went to a womens house, (the babysitter no less, because she was younger and didn't have any children yet), he left my mother there by herself, stressed suffering from PPD and no rest. She said, "I remember him leaving that day and I know I had fallen asleep in the room with my son, but as I woke up I had realized I was on the couch and my son was no where to be found. It was about 2am in the morning and I was at my parents house with him and I felt a presence, a presence I hadn't felt since I was in my teens and doing all that black magic, a presence and stinch of pure evil and death. The smell of death I was used to but this stinch was different, it was pure evil. I jumped up and looked down the hall and heard my baby cry out in pain I took off running in the room when all of a sudden by the crib was that bitch, that evil stealer of children. She had one finger on his forehead and raised her other hand with two fingers and said, "TWO DAYS". She looked at her and screamed out, "Get your finger off my fucking son you demon, you stealer of childrens souls, I will end you, I will send you back to hell where you came from!!!!" The demon laughed and all of sudden she was gone. She ran to his crib and grabbed him and held him close and tight as she again whispered in his ear the same words she said at his birth. "SHHH stop crying my son, Mommy loves you, I will never let anyone harm you, I will protect you and keep you safe, mommy loves you my life my love my first baby boy!!!" She slept in the room with him until the second day, the day it was said that she would come for him, she had stayed up for 2 days and held him in her arms as she would rock him to sleep, but she didn't realize that she had actually rocked her self to sleep as well. She had a dream that she was woken up on the couch again as her eyes focused she could see that familiar black piece of clothing fly by and she could actually feel the wind brush by her face as if something or someone had run by her. She jumped up again realizing she was on the couch and her son was gone she scrambled to her feet dizzy she could hear him crying as she staggered to the hall that led to the room, she looked up and there she was, Lillith holding her son and she darted into the room and she took off down the hall screaming for her mother and cursing at Lillith, she heard only a wimper as she finally made it to the doorway where she ran to the crib and seen that her son her baby boy was blue and wasn't crying anymore. No he was silent and not moving she snatched him up and started CPR and screaming and damning the very angels and the God who had given her this gift and let that evil take the gift away. Her mother and father ran into the room to find her trying to give him CPR as she held her son up to her mother she said to her, "Mom save him, save him momma I can't get him to breathe, momma please help me as she cried and tears welling in her eyes she looked at me and said to me I cannot save him he is gone honey, I tried I can't." My momma dropped to her knees and screamed at my grandma and said "I hate you I blame you for this, why is it you can save everyone else but you cant save my baby, I damn you and I damn God, I will never forgive either of you for letting that bitch take my son, you hear me Lillith? You will never take another one of my children, my childrens children I will break this curse and I will see you in hell bitch." That my friends was the start of all of what I will share with you in the next chapters to come.

Please tell me what you all think so far and if it is well-liked I will complete this part of my life's story. Now that I reeled you in let's see how many read it and respond and I will finish the book I have started here.
