small device from her suit coat that resembles a
garage door opener and points it at the bulletin board. Her thumb presses down
on the device. At that instant, a soft click is heard as the bulletin board
pushes away from the wall. She puts the device back into her coat pocket as she
steps forward to the bulletin board. She reaches out and pulls it open to the
left, revealing a hidden safe. She nimbly turns the dial a couple of times,
then pulls down on the small black handle. She reaches inside the safe and
removes a small earthen cup, etched with several markings. Protruding from
inside the cup is a small yellowish brown bone of some sort. Mrs. Lawless walks
to the front of the room and places the cup on the table in front of the
Reverend. She continues around the table and returns to her seat.
“Mr. Foley, if you please,” said the Reverend.
Ed moves from his seat to the head of the table. He pours the
contents of the vial of blood that he had just extracted from Sammy Porter into
the cup before the Reverend. From his coat pocket he removes a small folding
case. The case glitters in the room’s light. It is obviously made of gold. He
opens the case and inside of it is a small vial of blood just like the one he
just emptied into the cup. Ed empties this vial of blood into the cup as well.
Also inside this gold case is a small gold compact. Ed delicately removes this
compact and opens it over the cup. He pinches a small amount of gray ashen dust
from inside and drops it into the cup. Ed replaces the compact and vial inside
the case and places them back into his pocket. Ed returns to his seat next to
Sammy Porter.
The Reverend pulls the cup directly in front of him and
proceeds to gently stir the contents inside of the cup. He whispers an ancient
incantation taught to him by Moloch. He passes the cup to his left and Shirley
Carter, Sutton’s one and only beautician, takes the cup with both hands. She
removes the bone and licks at the dark red liquid that drips from it. She
passes the cup around the table and each one present repeats this ritual.
Finally after the cup has returned to the Reverend and he too has tasted its
contents by licking the small bone, he rises and walks down to where Sammy
Porter is seated and places the cup in front of Sammy.
“Moloch commands all to drink and share in the promise of the
blood.”
Sammy opens his eyes and looks down at the cup set before
him. He picks it up with both hands and slowly drinks from it while closing his
eyes.
Everyone else in the room rises from their chairs and
applauds Sammy Porter. Joy engulfs them all. Sammy, finished drinking the
contents of the cup, removes the bone and licks it clean. He puts the cup with
the bone placed inside back down onto the table.
Sammy opens his eyes. They have changed to a deep, lifeless
black. They resemble the eyes of a shark—haunting, menacing, cold and totally
evil. Sammy responds to everyone’s applause by rising and nodding to the room.
Sammy raises his hands and gestures for all to be seated. The room falls
silent.
Sammy now speaks in a raspy guttural voice that is clearly
not his own “I am pleased you have chosen this one for our coven, our circle of
Keepers. You and your ancestors have all served me faithfully for these many
years and as I have promised to each of you before, I repeat once again. I,
Moloch, on behalf of the Great Satan, solemnly pledge that you shall have all
the riches of this earth, all the power known to mankind, all that there is
shall be yours and your successors forevermore, once you have fulfilled our
pact. Once I take up human form, and walk again upon this earth to prepare the
way, you, each of you, shall rule beside us over all that is created.”
Sammy now closes his eyes and sits limply back into his
chair. He rolls his head once and then his eyes flutter open. His eyes are once
again the eyes of Sammy Porter.
The Reverend speaks to Sammy.
