5. Peter. He was crucified upside down on an x shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died.

6. James. The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club.

This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.

As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial.

9. Andrew. He Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony.

His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words, "I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it". He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.

10. Thomas. He Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Subcontinent.

11. Jude. He Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.

12. Matthias. The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot. He was stoned and then beheaded.

“Follow me and do what? Make me feel like shit all the time?” For things well within her control, for things she chooses to do to herself and others.  

Spirit feels herself self destructing — feels it like you know your bad habits and guilty pleasures. If fucking things up was like biting your nails, she’d be down to the nail bed. 

Tudo o que Rome queria era aproveitar o verão, a época do ano que tanto gostava. Ah, aquela sexta-feira não podia passar mais devagar, o impedindo tanto de só correr para o bom abraço quente e carinhoso do mar. Não sabe quantas vezes baixou os olhos para seu iWish para verificar as horas até que, enfim, a turma foi dispensada pela professora Elsa. Maravilha. Assim que foram dispensados, tirou o anel que deixava seus poderes controlados e já transformou-se em fantasma para aproveitador do poder e atravessar as paredes, voando depressa para uma ala mais acima na torre sul para poder fumar em paz. Sim, ele tinha pavor de alturas, mas ali era o lugar mais tranquilo (ou seja, sem professores e monitores dando puxões de orelha) que podia encontrar para mandar a nicotina para os pulmões por alguns minutos antes de finalmente ir descer para a praia. Colocou de volta o chato do anel para que não tivesse o vício interrompido quando, e nem havia ainda acendido o cigarro seguro por entre os dentes, avistou uma figura conhecida adentrando o lugar. Nem disfarçou o instinto do corpo em dar um passo atrás, encolhido de medo de Andrew, a figura que o perseguia há tanto tempo. Engoliu em seco, já tratando de abaixar a cabeça, guardando o recém tirado do bolso isqueiro e maço. ❛❛ —- Oi. Já tava indo embora. ❜❜ a voz saiu bem mais baixa e menos carismática que o normal enquanto tentava caminhar para fora do lugar, descendo as escadas. Tentaria aproveitar da movimentação para deslizar o anel para fora do dedo, e aí, quem sabe, conseguir criar uma rota de fuga logo como fantasma.
