SO I'M FINALLY ON CHAPTER FIVE I GOT MOST OF MY INFORMATION ABOUT ST. LOUIS CEMETERY FROM THE YOUTUBER CARPET BAGGER ON HIS VIDEO TOUR ABOUT THIS PLACE I WAS GOING TO UPDATE THE OTHER DAY BUT DIDN'T CAUSE I GOT DISTRACTED I PLAN TO HAVE THIS CHAPTER BE LONGER THAN THE REST OF THEM UP UNTIL THIS POINT AT LEAST
" Why didn't you tell me she was so tall?" Maybelle asks Tiffany as she takes a bite out of some licorice. " Uh I did tell you, on the way down here remember? I can't believe you actually ate peppermint fudge, you hate peppermint." She pops a thing of bubble gum in her mouth. " You know I really do enjoy being right, I just knew when my cousin told me about her that you'd find her cute." Maybelle narrows her eyes at Tiffany. " Don't be smug."
Sugar-Beau walks over to the pair and taps them on their shoulders." You do know that you gotta pay for that candy right?" The girls get this terrified look on their face right before Tristan walks over. " I'll pay for it, don't worry you'll get your money. Walks with me." He and Sugar walk over to the register for him to pay. " So what do you think about the two so far?" " They're both short and pretty. That's all I can really say about them at the moment, your cousin is funny though I can say that. I just met them I can probably give you a better opinion after dinner." " Okay that's fair, well we better get going gotta take them sight seeing." " Bye Tristan." Tristan goes back where the girls are. " Hey we might wanna get going we can still hit the cemetery in a about an hour if you still wanna go."
" I have no problem with that, we can go walk around here for a bit then head out to the cemetery tour. You fine with that Tiffany?" " No problem I got to see the store so I am down to do whatever you guys want to see today." " That's great, I already paid up front so lets just go now." They leave the store and just start walking on the street " So are there any places to avoid here?" " Oh definitely, Bourbon street don't go on Bourbon street at night just don't. But because you all are staying with me and both have never been here I don't really anticipate ya'll going off anywhere alone. " While Tristan is talking Maybelle is taking videos of people playing jazz music on the street and taking pictures of anything and everything she finds to be beautiful.
" I remember being on Youtube the other day and I found this woman that used to live down here Madame LaLaurie? You know anything about her?" Tiffany asks. " Um I think she was someone on American Horror Story, don't really remember which season though? Maybelle says, then Tristan replies." Yeah I do, And she wasn't just a character on a Tv show. She was a real person, we aren't going to visit the place that she lived in, but anyway yeah she was a vicious slave owner who would mutilate and kill her slaves in horrifying ways. A very horrible woman, lets be honest though who wasn't awful back in that time period." " Can you tell us a little bit more? I'm fine with not wanting to visit that place but can you just tell us a little more information?" Maybelle asks
They continue walking as Tristan begins to tell a story. " So here's one story a while back when I was in college I had to do a research paper on a serial killer. I didn't want to do my research on anyone from the 20th or 21 century so I went way way back and did my report on her." " Well I guess that is interesting, what did you find out?" Tiffany asks. Well LaLaurie kept her cook chained to the kitchen by her ankle, for some reason madame had threatened to take her to the upstairs room which terrified the cook because whenever any one goes up to that room they never come back. She decided she'd rather die by her own hand than by her master, so she set the kitchen on fire it burned up the entire mansion.
When neighbors came to see and help they found the horrific sight of some of her slaves in the up stairs room strapped down on operating tables, some chained to the walls, others crouched in small cages. One woman had her stomach slit open and her intestians wrapped around her waist like a cruel corset, one mans mouth was sewn shut after it being filled with animal fecies.... Both her and her husband were both doctors and some believe they were practicing cruel medical practices on the slaves but it was less about the medical aspect and more sadistic. People were pissed and raided her mansion and found to their horror hundreds of buried slaves in her back yard."
Maybelle and Tiffany are stunned silent and just stair at Tristan " You asked and I told you what I knew." " Okay that's enough dark history for today. Lets talk about how we are getting to the tour?" " We are going to take the trolley to the tour we just have to make it down the rest of the block and we will be there in no time. " They walk down the rest of the street and get on the trolley. " Do either of you two know how to eat craw fish?" " We've never ate it before." " Okay so after we are done with the tour we can go and just pick up something to eat in case you don't like it." " There ain't no good reason to do that, that is rude. Is Craw fish all she making?" Tiffany asks " No, it got grilled corn and sausage, I just don't want to run the risk of you not liking it." Maybelle replies " Boy we like corn and sausage though."
They reach the last stop on the Trolly and get off and are greeted by their tour guide. " Here are the rules do not wonder off if you are a tourist you WILL get lost, and secondly no you are prohibited from taking any videos on this tour but you can take pictures. (I 'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT I AM DEAF SO SOME INFORMATION I DID LEAVE OUT CAUSE I COULDN'T HEAR WHAT TH VIDEO WAS SAYING CORRECTLY AT TIMES AND I MAY MISSPELL SOME OF THE NAMES) " This is so exciting." " Shh May I'm trying to hear." " So Some of you might not know but St.Louis #1 is the oldest cemetery of all New Orleans, Here in this tomb we have Marie Laveau. She was known as a healer, Voodoo Queen, and she was believed to be born in the 1800s. She was a very iconic figure around here SO iconic that you will see her figure everywhere. Come look at this tomb everyone." She says as she lets all the tourists get a good look at the tomb. " There was an urban legend that if you wrote three Xs on her grave and made a wish that she would grant that wish. As you can see people have vandalized this tomb tomb a lot."
" The story about this grave Agenthemens believed his grandmother to be buried here and so to protect her from evil spirit he covered it in blue paint. Which simulates water and represents bad spirits. Prior to guards being out there Marie Laveau grave was covered in Xs, So they had to paint over her grave." " Do you know anything else about her life?" Maybelle asks " Yes I do, she was such a good woman, there are over 80 people buried in this tomb that aren't even related to her. She died in 1818, people came from all over to see her cause she was amazing in her herbal medicine. The Tomb reads ' family of the widow Perry born Laveau Marie Philamine Glupion. That was her daughter."
This is a Baue la Bean, where people would do evil rituals at night before the guards went outside. If you put three of anything on anyones tomb that anything good they did in their life would follow them into the next and whatever bad they did will follow them into the next. NOw here's something I bet none of ya'll know, Nicholas Cage yes the actor, obviously very strange man but that up for opinion any way he married Lisa marie Presley. Their marriage lasted six weeks, he got permission from to build his tomb a six foot tall pyramid. People were pissed as hell and rightfully so and as you can see here there are literal kisses on the tomb, like this man ain't even dead yet and he got this foolishness going on here. So John handed Cage his ass cause John had every right to remove the kisses from the grave. Cage was all like you can't do that, you have no right, do you know how much movie that cost me? Then John is like ACTUALLY I CAN! That is deseration of a tomb. That is all for the tour guys I hope you all enjoyed the tour have a good rest of your day."
" That was pretty cool to learn about, I do wonder how they restored everything after Katrina though." " From what my folks said it was pretty intense and heart breaking, anyway lets go home its been a couple of hours and Sugar-Beau should be off soon we can head back home now change into comfier clothes and I can get the grill ready. That sound like a plan?" " Yeah that sounds good I'm pretty tired myself and hungry. Lets just head home." Tiffany says, so thy get back on the trolly back to where they started and get back in the car and drive home.
Once they get back home the girls help Tristan set up the grill then go get changed into some nice looking shorts and tank tops. " I thought you said we were gonna eat inside today?" " It's a beautiful day out though Maybelle good day for grilling. Anyway Sugar should be pulling up any minute." And just like that Sugar-Beau pulls up and yells from her window. " One of y'all help me get all this stuff out." Maybelle goes over to help her while Sugar-Beau got the pot filled with dinner Maybelle got the keylime pie, and the two bags of candy for her and Tiffany. " Now why in the hell are you grilling when I know I said I was bringing food?"
" Those two never ate craw fish before dummy I didn't want them to just be eating sausage and corn if they didn't like it. Not everyone likes seafood, they were opposed but I decided to grill anyway." " Y'all never had craw fish before? Well okay I get why now, it's not for everyone." They all sits down Tiffany and Maybelle got their own burgers ready to eat of they don't like it. Sugar is sitting right next to Maybelle. " So how do eat it?" " Okay first you gotta put on a bib both of ya'll cause eating this is messy, you wanna pick up the craw fish twist its tail off, peel the shell from the leg then eat." Sugar and Tristan demanstraight as they eat. " I don't like it I like crab better, thank you though for making it Sugar-Beau." " Oh its fine Tiffany some people just not a fan of it, how you like the corn and sausage though?" " Oh it's amazing." " How about you Maybelle?" " Well I'm not a big sea food eater so it's not really my favorite." " Okay okay, How long you two gonna be staying here?"
Tiffany asnswers " We don't really know we are traveling right now this was the first place that we wanted to see but so far I really like it here and if I'm being honest I just want you to date May, cause it will benefit me like when you dated him and sent me candy." Maybelle chocks on her food and then throws a piece at Tiffany. " That's rude Tiffany. I'm so sorry about her." " Nah it's okay, but why try to get your girl with me when I can just get with you?" Sugar says with a smirk. " Its quite simple and sad it's because I ain't into women but boy I am willing to try with you if she don't work out." " That's a shame cause you are a babe, but I don't go out with people just so they can get free candy and are straight." " Damn, maybe in another life." They all start to laugh " For real though you gotta stop pressuring your friend, she's obviously uncomfortable with it." she says as she passes out slices of pie to everyone.
They talk the rest of the night and Tiffany and Tristan go to pack everything up take some things outside so Maybelle is out with just Sugar-Beau " I do think you're super pretty and I do like your personality I can keep it to myself for a while but I'd like to hang out with you some other time just you and me if you'd like?" " I'd like that too maybe not a date but to get to know each other better. Here gimme you're phone and I'll put my number in it." Maybelle hands over her phone to her and she puts her number in her contacts. " Well I better get going but how about tommorw we hang out the plantation here is huge and we can go see the aqarium here?" " Its a date." Maybelle smiles " Imma get going, it was nice meeting you Maybelle.
WAS THIS AS LONG AS I'D LIKE IT TO BE? NO NOT AT ALL BUT ITS ALL I HAVE, I KNOW ONE THING I AM NOT UPDATING TOMMOROW I'M NOT EVEN GONNA LIE THIS IS SUPER UNEDITED AND I GOT TOO MUCH OF A HEADACHE TO BOTHER FIXING ALOT OF THE STUFF WRITTEN
