The Godsend Backfire: The Beginning by Harold Straugh (books to read in your 30s TXT) 📕

the sunlight, silver burns right through me and I have to feed from humans to stay alive."

"Thou should not speak evil of our father, he would not do such a thing."

"Oh brother, you are still too blind to see, but if you won't see the truth in me, see the truth in what he done to our other brother." Derium motioned and nodded to something behind me.  I turned around and looked and there stood my other brother Mylicious.

"He looks fine to me Derium..." I said then watched as Mylicious transformed into a wolf, a rather massive wolf at that.

I heard his bones crack as he changed, his jaw popped out of socket and his facial bones cracked as well as his nose grew into a snout.  His teeth fell out as sharper teeth took their spots.  His eyes grew wide and yellow and he let out a howl as his transformation completed. His old teeth turned to dust and disappeared.  He stood there, looking at me as I looked back at him.  His heavy, growl-like breaths concerned me greatly.  He took a step forward, as I took a step back because my caution went up.

"What's wrong brother?" he spoke to me in my mind, "Are you afraid?"

"I sense as if you want to cause harm to me brother, I don't know why, but I love you anyway."

"We love you as well, which is why we haven't killed you.  Lucifer loves you as well brother, he wishes you'd come be with us.  Jehovah is no good for you." Derium said, wiping the blood from his mouth.

He took a step towards me and I no longer felt safe, I stepped back and thought of Paradise, but nothing happened, when I opened my eyes I was still on Earth, looking at my brothers, Derium with a crooked smile on his face and I couldn't tell if Mylicious was smiling but he was growling.  So, I used my swiftness and fled, fled far away, to a different part of Earth where I felt was safe.  I could still hear them though in my head.

"Ohhhh brother! we weren't going to hurt you, we have plans for you."

"You must stop killing and seeding with the humans, pleeeease I beg of you!" I pleaded.

"We did not do this to us, he did," Derium hissed.

I shut them out after that, I didn't want to hear anymore blasphemous things against my father.  I thought of Paradise again and was denied once more, I didn't understand why but told myself I hadn't finished what I had come to Earth to do and that's why Father wasn't allowing me back up in Heaven.  I prayed to Father and asked for safety. I prayed until the sun came up, stayed in the light, feeling safe by it, until it went down and headed back to where my brothers were.  I sensed something was way off from the minute I could see the town.  It was empty, all the dead bodies from the night before were gone, my brothers weren't responding to my calls, both physically and mentally.  I could pick up a presence though, it was dark and nearby.  I walked around the town a little bit, I noticed around every little hut the dirt was disturbed.  Graves lined the outside of the huts, the dark sense grew, it was like a vibration almost when I got closer to the graves.  Whatever was in those graves they were evil.  The amount of evilness that came from them made me upset to my stomach.

I felt Mylicious’s presence, “Brother, where are you?” I asked.

“Over here,” he responded.

I looked to my right and there stood Mylicious, he looked scared, his wavy brown hair, matted with blood, his eyes were back to being brown, but were just as wide as he if were the wolf again. His shirt, once being white, was torn and covered in blood.  He walked with a limp but as he got closer I heard the bone pop and it straightened his walk.  I didn’t sense any harm from him, so when he brought his arms up to hug me, I embraced him.  He sobbed uncontrollably in my arms, I consoled him the best I could, but it didn’t’ feel good enough.

“What is wrong my brother?” I asked.

“Look at what Derium and I have done, we’ve buried most of them, but can you sense it? Can you sense the evil that lurks in those graves?” he asked, scared.

“I can, where is Derium?” I asked not sensing his presence, nor was he responding to my calls.

“He’s in a grave on the outside of Sodom. He won’t stop killing. Lucifer told him to let a few taste his blood and see what happened.” Mylicious said.

“What happened?” I asked curious, but I feared I knew the answer already.

He pointed to the graves, “Those are what happened. They’re like him and the ones bitten and not killed, have healed from one day to the next.  I’ve tried to stop Roldian, I can’t, the lust is too great.” He cried, “You know I use to enjoy full moons, but now I just get really hungry and want to take every woman that comes within sight of me.”

“That’s horrible Mylicious,” I said, then looked up and noticed the moon was full.  A sickening sound of bones snapping came to my ear as Mylicious pulled away.

“RUN BROTHER!” he screamed and shoved me from him as he started to change right before me.  I watch, frozen in fear. Finally, I was able to move and pushed myself against the sand. I used my speed to get away and headed towards the next town.

There I found a grave just on the outskirts of Sodom, it was once a lush and providing town.  The sand turned to green grass and fern style plants. The grave was
