2023-03-09 20:35:50Working in this sleazy pub daily always takes a toll on me. Well it was tiresome and making me angry because of the filthy and nasty male customers who like to grab my ass. Those was one of the times I wished I had superpowers, like lightning you know so that I can get somebody's ass. I had tried reporting them to management but all the manager ever says like now
"Lana, try and be nice to those gentlemen, then they will nice to you". Like you I scoffed in my head. Everyone working in Sultry Nights knew how Mark Callary was foaming at the mouth to date me or better still shag me. He seemed to take my silence for resilence and nodded at me."Go on, Lana go work the tables to you've got a lot of people to serve.' He shooed at me to leave his office. If one of those assholes deemed to touch my ass, I would give the lucky bastard a glorious eye shiner if you get my drift. My coach at the mixed martial arts studio, I attend for self defense classes said I have a mean right hook.I walked over to my standing post at the bar.Meh! this heels were killing me. Thankfully, my shift was to end two hours from now.
"Lady get a vodka" A guy said as he slid me a twenty."I am at that table". He pointed. Asshole, why can't he wait patiently for his drink. He expects me to bring it there. If not I desperately needed every cash that came my way, I would have quit this job a long time ago. I sighed deeply.I was a graduate finished at UCLA in Los Angeles, got a degree on Hospitality Management. Since I couldn't further my studies and get a decent job in that career. I opted out for modelling, you know since LA was the city of entertainment and Hollywood. I thought being 23, with my 5"9 height, killer blue eyes, jet black hair, a tight curvy body and heart shaped lips, I could be an aspiring model. But damn was I wrong. Most of the agents managers of the various companies I went to, wanted me to sleep with them. Yuck, so I kept close to my discipline if you can call it that working in a sleazy bar. "Lady I am waiting". The asshole said in a sing-song voice. Let me get him his drink before I bored you to tears with my life story."Coming". I yelled over the loud music. As I was passing through the tables, someone wanted to tap my ass. Unfortunately for him, I felt the wind whispering at my back and I had cat-like fast reflexes and I dodged. Sorry sucker, I snickered.Thankfully I was at the table to give the dude his drink when I felt an uncomfortable sensation run through me. Naturally, I had some weird sensations overtime as I got older, some like hot flashes, ice cold and others lukewarm. But this I had never felt this one before. It felt as if tiny insects were crawling around my body, and to confirm I had goosebumps.
I turned to see what prompted the action, or rather who. I turned to see a guy entering the bar, the sensation I got when he looked at me was ... hmmn creepy. I felt this crazy instinct to protect everyone including the people I hated and disliked from this guy. Hmmn strange.The guy was an average Joe in looks with greasy black hair that looked as if it hadn't be watched, even from the slight distance I could see and smell it. Did I forget to tell you that I also had great sense of sight and smell, infact all my senses were enhanced. Sometimes, I wondered if I was a freak of nature, hmmn food of thought for another time. Now back to this guy, he was wearing a green Ben 10 T-shirt with black jeans and black canvas that had seen better days. He looked around the bar with eyes that felt serpentine, yeah I was getting snakes vibes from him. Ew, even when he looked at me again, it felt as his eyes were caressing me with it's ickyness. I hoped he wasn't going to order any drink cause I didn't think I had in me to be in reaching distance of him and not destroy him.He searched for a seat to sit down. I sighed. After giving the asshole his vodka, I went back to my post and continued working but my senses were still acute on the snake guy. Slouched on his chair, he seemed to be waiting for someone. I wondered who would want to be around someone like him, except someone like him. I don't know what my excitement spiked, weird and weirder still I purred in sneaky satisfaction."Two for the killing, that makes it perfect". Shocked, I never purred, Jesus I just purred like a fucking cat. If I was looking for any reason to confirm if I am a part cat, I just confirmed it. What other reason was I looking for, dog hate and bark at me, cats both owned and stray love me (notice the word love not like), I can jump from heights and have a nimble walking style .I checked to see if anybody caught the sound, none thank God and saw snake guy looking at me. Way to be more weirder, immediately I noticed snake guy straighten up in his seat as if he felt something. He turned quickly and looked around frantically as if frightened. I leaned on the bar table and studied him with peaked interest. In a quick motion, he stood up and ran out of the pub. Just great, not only was he creepy but also a psycho. Wouldn't shock me if the dude was a drug addict, the consumption of meth must be making him crazy.My phone chimed with the sound of the alarm I set for 8:30pm. Thank God it was time to go home..

The Invitation
LanaSome weeks laterAfter the day I went to the library and saw that mysterious book, I never went there again because it seriously creeped me out.Besides Ra was hardly available since he went on missions to the human world doing what I had no idea of.And I didn't tell him about my dreams, something told to withhold that information from him like it wasn't the right time to say anything.Today after taking my bath and eating, I strolled out to the balcony where I saw Ra training with his men. His golden skin glittered under the sun with sweat as he turned, dodged and kicked at his opponents.Their actions pulled at my interest, so I went down to the training arena to take a closer look. There were three men currently sparring with Ra, they all yelled and attacked as one.Ra dodged the first one, kicked horizontally at the second and punched the last one hard. The last one collapsed hard on the floor as I gasped with shock.Shit! Did that guy just faint because of Ra's punch? Some of
Cryptic
Lana After reading to my satisfaction, I looked up and noticed that I must have spent a lot of time in the library because Gem was sleeping. Her neck was going to get sore in the uncomfortable position that she was sleeping in. But first, I had to keep all the books I had taken and return them to their respective shelves.When I had finished placing them in the shelves, I saw a white paper peeking out from one of the books grabbed my attention. It must be a bookmark but as I turned to leave, I felt this nagging sensation in the pit of my stomach. I always felt this when something was really important or amiss.I turned back and picked the book up. It was voluminous and titled The Greatest Woman On Earth, intriguing name. I opened the book and flipped through it, the pages were so numerous. I came across the white paper that was in-between the pages. The piece of paper was folded into two equal halves. It wasn't a bookmark, rather it was a cryptic short message which read"Read this
The Library Of Souls
LanaI never the library to be this big, but what did I expect when it is owned by a god. It was divide into sections and arranged in rows and columns. I was amazed at the monstrosity of the library, I walked over to one of the shelf and touched, more like caressed the spine of one of the books on it. "Do you like it, my lady?" Gem asked with a little smile in my direction. She always had that little smile thing going on. "Why yes. I totally love it." I screamed in excitement and almost twirled. I heard shuffling of feet coming toward our direction. My little charade must have alerted them to the presence of other people in the library. "Who is there?" an old croaky male voice called out. I exchanged glances with Gem, that person had to be very old. His voice had that droopy feel to it."It's me Gem." Gem called out. The shuffling feet was coming closer and then an old man came out from the side of one of the shelves. He was very old and had wrinkles all over his face. The most ou
Strange Dreams and Weird Occurrences?
Lana I was turning around restlessly in my bed, crunching my brows tight in confusion. I was confused because of the different dreams I had in just one night. And the worst thing was that I didn't understand any of it since they were coming in the form of flashes, and I was always dying in each one.The last one before I jolted awake, I was running away from some people. Though I couldn't see their faces since they were blurred. I couldn't get away fast enough and got hit on the back with a club.That was when I woke up with a gasp, my body and the sheets were covered with sweat. I was breathing heavily scared shitless out of my mind. What was that and when did that happen? I felt a pricking sensation at my back and lifted my pajamas top. I felt around the area, it was sore and I was feeling remnants of the pain. Wait! what was going on? I rushed to the bathroom and moved to the mirror. I lifted my PJs top again, turned to the side and checked again. I sucked a breath at what I sa
The Summoning
LanaThe room quietened as we flashed in. Everyone was looking at us, more at me though. Without saying a word, they took their respective seats even Ra as he left not before clenching my shoulder in one last form of support. I felt very small under all their penetrating stares, it was so unnerving. I fought the compulsion to fold my arms or hide from their scrutinizing stares. I just needed The Summoning to start, so that I could leave this uncomfortable place.A minute later, Khonsu flashed in. He was wearing an ice blue pants with a sleeveless jacket, leaving his chest open. His face was expressionless displaying indifference, like he had other things to do and this summoning was a waste of his time. "Can we get this summoning going?" He grumbled with a hand in his pocket. "How nice of you to grace us with your presence, Khonsu." One of the ladies spoke with a false smile on her face crossing her slim legs. She was the image of feminine grace. I noticed there were only three ladi
The Ennead Of Heliopolis
LanaAfter eating in my room. I wore a flowing gold dress with open toed sandals. Gem applied light make up to my face, according to her to enhance my natural beauty. Even I was appreciating myself in the mirror after she was done.Ra was waiting for me in the his receptive chambers when I entered. He looked at me in awe, I could see the appreciation in his eyes."You look beautiful." I arched my brow."So I look ugly on a normal basis." I pulled my face into fake frown just pulling his legs. He fell for it."No, that's not what I'm saying. You always look breath-taking every time I see you." He looked into my eyes as he said that. We were both lost in the moment, he was looking at me like someone so special to him. Like he loved me? I creased my brows in thoughts. "Wipe that frown from your face, you look hideous right now." His expression was back to normal. I elbowed his hard stomach as I laughed softly, sore throat remember? "We both know that's a lie. You look uptight, Is it be
