Cannibalistic (Book Two of A Bloodline's Saga)

To the Festival, We Mosh: Part II

Meat is tasty cut her up

Woman is missing, she's f****d up

Flesh in blender, grind her down

Meat for chili, we'll feed the town

Brain Spasm

With Abola finishing their set, we all find each other when the crowd takes a break for the next gig to come on. 

"A quick dab of speed each?" Liam offers during the meeting in our secluded part of the festival grounds. 

"Fucken oath, let's do this." I grin before observing him open the bag up and offer me the first try.

Wetting my finger I press it hard in the bag then pull it out, popping it straight into my mouth though instantly regret it when the worst chemically taste to ever hit my tongue runs throughout my senses and I'm almost gagging.

"Here have some of this." Mitch laughs while offering me a drink I assume he brought here prior to the gig. 

"My God that tastes like asshole." I cringe after a lengthy sip and making sure it is all off my finger.

"And I'm sure you know what that tastes like." Dalton grins when it's his turn next and watching Liam point the baggie at him.

Once the baggie has gone around we head back to the stage and find Behead the Betrayer is already starting their first song.

So moshing out to that one the next song to come on is Invitation to Desecration, my brain being absolutely blown away that such a noise could come out of someone, a noise that has my arm hairs standing on end and almost a little wet in my underwear.

I'm not joking, this music hits me in the soul like no other and I'm amazed that I have people like this to provide as such.

With a few walls of death and whatnot, we jam our way out through that gig until Capital Punishment come flying on and I realised that I haven't had any water for a while.

So asking Liam for more water, he hands it to me then places me on his shoulders once he's done so I'm able to get a better look.

Knowing a few songs I scream my heart to the lyrics of Armed Conflict, Hanged, Drawn & Quartered and Personal Justice, the night seeming quick but slow enough for my brain to remember for the future when I want to look back on it.

The rest is a blur up until they announce that it's Deathsinger's turn to take the stage, a band Liam and I also share the same interest in too and find that our favourite song by them Bone Burner is about to play.

Hopping down we both make our way to the mosh pit before losing ourselves in the song and entire set, my mouth feeling dry yet I couldn't give a f**k if I look like s**t right now, I'm having too much fun and the people around me don't seem to care.

Discovering that a lot of people are on at least something here tonight, I don't feel like I have to contain myself as much, only around the Police Officers I see patrolling around to make sure everything is going safe.

"Alright people, another dab?" Liam asks as we make our way to the drinking taps to fill up our water, all agreeing until finding that the event is going to be over soon even but I feel the night is still young.

"That's okay we still have three more bands and we have just enough time to hit the merch tents, so let's do it!" Ankara yells with the rest of us agreeing to hold off on taking more speed just to beat the merch tents.

"We can also have a proper look tomorrow because I hear they're bringing more in." Noah states when we begin making our way for the merch section and observing some as they pack up for the night with others in the process.

"How about we hold off because I'm sure some would want to go home for the night." Amelia suggests as we get halfway there, all of us halting to take in her words until agreeing with what she has to say.

"Good point, more time and more choices." Beau pipes up and more nods of agreement go round.

"Alrighty, so dabs still or nah?" Liam reoffers to everyone still gathered around contemplating on what to do next.

"f**k yeah, and we will still have enough time to get back to a good spot to see the last three bands for the night." Dalton adds in while fist pumping the air in a way as if he's at a rave and not a slam metal festival. 

"Alright folks let's go!" I declare with a clap of my hands and letting Liam take the lead to the place where we first had a dab.

With a drink that's not water on standby, we all have more than before and find that I'm able to tolerate the taste considering I know what to expect but not to the extent where I don't need a drink.

Once the bitter taste is gone from my mouth and replaced with a soft drink of some kind, we return to the festival after smashing down a couple of joints between the ten of us and refilling our water bottles with a healthy choice of water of course.

With Ennui Breathes Malice coming on stage I'm once again losing my absolute f*****g s**t considering one of my all-time favourite, yet their most known song When Curiosity Kills A Dog is about to play after opening with Number One In A Number Two Business, the song a complete throw back considering how old it is yet impressed that they dug up that one to play.

"IDA YOUR FAVOURITE BAND!" I hear Esther scream at me whilst I'm being lifted up onto Mitch's shoulders thanks to him being the tallest out of the group and this obviously being my go to band when I want to listen to something I haven't heard in a while, so they clearly want me to enjoy them to the fullest.

Screaming the lyrics and not caring how s**t I sound as long as I get them right, I'm then crowd surfed to the front to have Nic Tsopanis touch the toe of my Doc Marten while belting out a beautiful pig squeal in the mic in his left hand.

"f**k YEAH!" I scream along with the crowd around and beneath me, my mind telling me to never wash that shoe for as long as I live.

Arriving on the top of some other fellow metalhead's shoulders, I catch his name as Trent before we're jamming out together and find that I'm being crowd surfed once again back to my group of friends.

"Having fun?" Liam grins when I'm back at his side and grabbing his hand.

"Of course now that I'm back with you." I say gaily and earning a laugh in return until he takes me by surprise when he leans down to give me a kiss.

With Ennui finally calling it quits and stating that they are proud to be from Australia also and that they are happy to share such a moment with family, everyone goes absolutely nuts until welcoming on Anomalistic. 

Kicking off with Dismembered Limbs Monstrosity, we join the wall of death and cop a few bruises only it's nothing to write home about. Only because the people made sure I was okay yet they still had fun themselves, and that's including the people who didn't even come with me today.

Meaning my parents, they would have had fun considering my Mum loves this stuff and slowly got my Dad into it over the years.

"Dude this is f*****g awesome!" Beau shouts as the band gear up to play Feculent Artery Drainage.

"You don't say man; I just can't wait to continue on with the party when we get back to the camp site!" Mitch yells until going ballistic when the song starts and a circle pit is formed.

With Anomalistic announcing their departure, we all agree to get a shirt from each band that has played tonight as well as other band shirts this festival has to offer before heading off and having a quick toilet stop. 

Realising this is the first time in ages I have used the toilets here; I check myself in the mirror to see I'm a sweaty mess and not to mention burnt considering the hot sun and my lack of remembering to lather sun screen on.

"No point in putting sunscreen on now because its night time, we just have to remember to do it a lot more tomorrow." I warn the girls who decided to come to the toilet with me, all of them agreeing until we're back out joining the guys for the last band.

"So looks like we're the last two performing for the night considering we're a two piece metal band, I feel honoured yet sad because we have to go after this. But we love Australia and the people in it, so be assured my friends, WE WILL BE f*****g BACK!" Zack screams into the mic and that has the drained crowd pumping for one last amazing gig.

Opening with their song Open Your Eyes, they them play a handful more including Numb before the two call it a night and the crowd are demanding an encore.

Being satisfied with one last song, we then decide to start heading back to camp and continue the party from there.

"We have to get merch though tomorrow." Ankara declares as we exit the car with the others pulling up behind us, Liam and I finding it hard to keep our hands off of one another due to the feeling it sends through the both of us thanks to the drugs.

"I know and we will; now someone turn their headlights on so I'm able to get the fire started!" Dalton calls to the guys still at the wheels of their cars, Mitch doing just that while the others turn theirs off and let the music carry on from Dalton's car speakers.

"Thanks f**k face; now let's get this party really started! I'm going to rack up a few lines in the tent where the bong is, so anyone is more than welcomed to come, Ida." Liam states instantly on a quieter tone and locks gazes with a cheeky smirk, a grin forming across my face when I go for his reached out hand and feel his fingers lace in with mine.

"Will be there in a minute; let me know when it's done!" Beau calls from where Dalton is trying to get the fire started as Mitch and Noah busy themselves with getting more drinks.

"Will do, alright let's go Ida." Liam beams then starts leading us towards the tent where we shall be partaking in more drugs.

"Now we aren't going to O.D because we haven't had that much when you think about it and the lines aren't going to be that big." he explains when the tent is zipped up and he has everything he needs.

"That's fine; I'm more interested in going to bed." I blurt before I can even stop myself, Liam chuckling but ceases what he's doing to come over and give me a kiss.

"Not just yet, it's not you it is legit the drugs. There's a thing called speed d**k or pinga d**k, either way I've got it and there is nothing on God's green earth that is going to get that bastard up any time soon. But as soon as it does, I will let you know." he assures me through my fits of giggles at what he's just said to me.

"Well either way, I'm happy." is all I can manage to say when I feel like I probably need to change underwear soon.

I feel bad yet envious because it's easier for me than him, but I know I won't mind in about five minutes once I'm back out at the party.

So beaming up at him and giving him a seductive kiss I let him go back to racking up his lines, my eyes catching something near the bed and instantly I begin taking random pictures on Ankara's phone.

She shouldn't have left her phone in here.

"What're you doing?" Liam chuckles from behind me when he hears the click of the camera, my smug grin landing on him when I snap a shot of his confused yet grinning face.

In this photo you can tell he wasn't expecting it because he's still talking, but I still find it f*****g hilarious and set it as her lock screen photo.

"Nothing."

"Did you take a photo of me?"

"No."

"Ida!"

Giggling when he comes over to take the phone from me, he manages to get it off me before bursting out laughing when he sees what I've done.

"She's going to love that." he laughs then offers me a rolled up dollar bill.

"What's this for?" I frown in confusion when I forget what we're here for, for a split second.

"The line, here." he grins and points to the small portable mirror laid out flat on the makeshift bed.

"Thanks baaaaabes." I say in a tone that even has me wanting to laugh and head butt myself at the same time.

Bending down and sniffing it up as quickly as possible, the burning sensation kicks in and automatically my eyes are watering up.

"Jesus that f*****g kills!" I shout while semi-moshing around as if it's going to get rid of the pain.

"There we go, your turn." I beam once the pain is close to gone and I'm able to hand over the rolled up bill. 

"Thanks." he chuckles until snorting his up with a scrunched up face when it hits him too.

"Now we wait for it to his the back of our throats." he shivers as the pain disappears and he's finished licking the remainder off of his finger from the mirror.

"I know, I'm trying to get it to the back of my throat already but it's not happening right now." I pout before rubbing the sides of my nose where my cyanoses are and feel as the bitter liquid slides down my throat. 

"There we go, now I think we're getting somewhere." I shudder out after a lengthy sip of my drink, Liam doing the same thing and he too experiencing the flood of liquidised speed dripping down the back of his throat. 

"Hey fuckers, mind if I partake in one?" Beau pipes up when he pops his head through the tent to see Liam and me f*****g with our noses.

"Go for it my dude, Ida and I were about to go but we can wait for you." Liam grins and hands him the rolled up note.

"Cheers guys, I hope I didn't interrupt anything." he winks then positions himself for a line.

"Nah my d**k's not working right now." Liam confesses casually which earns a burst of laughter from me and results in Beau almost blowing out his line halfway through but maintains his s**t to finish the line off.

"Alright, well I'm going to go and see if mine is. Don't wait up for me children." Beau smirks whilst grabbing his drink and exiting the tent as quick as he came.

"That was interesting, I wonder how Esther would feel if she heard him say that." I giggle after it's just the two of us in the tent again.

"I don't know, but I kinda wanna see if mine works too." he grins but I'm instantly wanting to leave the tent and find ours or anywhere away from our group of mates.

"Well let's go and have a look then, we didn't get to last night." I chuckle though I'm fighting the urge to drag him back to our tent so he better hurry the f**k up and make a decision right now...

"Hang on at least let me get my cigarettes first." he laughs on his way from being pulled out the tent by me, my hand instantly letting go in favour of him retrieving the said items then retiring to our tent after a quick announcement to the others.

"Now, let's see if we can get it to work just for a bit even." he murmurs against my lips once we're on our makeshift bed, his body on top of mine and my legs parted to let him in closer.

"Alright, but it would work if our clothes were off first." I giggle then bite his lip with my hands and fingers tangled in his hair.
