Trapped In The Heart Of The Wild Beast

Prologue

          A baby's cry echoed the room, followed by a groan of pain. A man's body writher on the floor trying to catch it's breath. The wife crying for the man to stop. The man just smiled, caressing the baby's rosy cheek.

          "Stop it, Aliah. Give my baby back," Tabitha sobbed, as she struggle against her restraints trying to get to her crying baby.

          "You won't get away with this!" Abel hissed, as he struggle to gather his breath. He glared at the man he once called a brother, hatred lighting his eyes.

          "You don't seem to get it, the baby has to die," Aliah said caressing the baby face.

           "How could you?! You were like a brother to me!" Abel said, charging at Aliah only to come to a stop in front of his face. The restraints pulling him to a stop. Aliah smirked at his brother futile struggles.

           "I know, this isn't about us, but your child must simply die."

           "No, please don't. Not my baby, Aliah! Your baby girl was born along with mine!" Tabitha screamed.

           "Don't worry, she will soon have you and my wife to keep her company in the afterlife," Aliah said, placing the between her parents. Tabitha began shower her baby's face trying to calm her down. Aliah stared at Tabitha before pulling a lighter out of his leather jacket as he headed out the door.

           "Why? Why would you even killed your wife?" Abel questioned, making Aliah stop by the doorway.

           "Because nothing will stop me from getting the power of my newborn child. According to the prophecy two child will be born, one will bear the moon on her ankle while the other bear the sun on their wrist. Only one of the child will become the ultimate ruler of the supernatural world."

           "It's just a prophecy, brother!"

           "I don't care. I never even loved her, I must insure that my child becomes the rightful ruler and I will not allowed a pesky child ruin that," With that he closed the door.

           "You, coward!! You will die for this!" Adel said, spitting at Aliah direction.

           "Sorry, vëlla but it has to be done." Crouching down on the floor he flicked the lighter before throwing it to the side of the house. Transforming into a wolf, he disappeared into the night.

           "Adel, we have to get out of here," Tabitha sobbed, as she nuzzled the baby face, calming her down.

           "I know, love. I won't let anything happen to you guys," Abel said, pulling against the restraints. He could feel the metal biting at his skin as his muscles bunched from the force.. Smoke began pouring into the room as the fire consumed the house, growing rapidly. Tabitha straighten hearing the sound of her name.

           "Love, do you hear that?" Tabitha said.

           "Hear what?" Abel asked, as he kept pulling on the restraints.

           "Stop and Listen." Abel stopped and could hear the someone shouting their names. Feeling with hope he started screaming for help.

           "We are here!!" the sound of someone kicking the door open raised their hopes.

           "Tabitha! Abel! Where are you?" Susan screamed.

           "We are upstairs in the baby room!" Tabitha screamed. Susan rushed in hugging Tabitha and Abel. She rushed behind them and began working on their restraints. Cursing, she discovered they were coated in silver.

           "Shit! This is going to hurt," Susan cursed even more under her breath, as she grabbed onto the chain and began to pull. Ignoring the burning sensation on her palms, she kept pulling. The chains slowly started to pull apart. Sweat poured of her eyebrows as the roaring fire began engulfing the room.

           "Suzy, forget us. Just save our baby, please," Tabitha whispered looking at her baby.

           "I can't leave you guys. I refuse to leave you," Susan said, as tears clouded her vision.

           "Suzy, just get out her first. You can come back as soon as she's safe. We will keep working on the restraints," Abel said kissing his wife forehead.

           "Okay, I will be right back," Susan said, picking the baby up. She brought them closer to her parents. Smiling, as their eyes filled with tears they bid their goodbyes.

           "We love you baby girl," Tabitha said to her baby.

           "Mama." the baby cooed laying her hand on her mother face. Holding back the sob, Tabitha smiled at her daughter.

           "Suzy, you need to know that your husband is planning to kill you," Abel whispered..

           "Before you go, take the necklace around my neck and give it to our baby just in case we don't make it." Suzy grabbed the necklace and place it on the baby's neck. Tabitha laid her head in her husband shoulder.

           "Protect her."

           "I'll be right back," Susan said, as she ran towards the exit.

           "We love you, Nike," they whispered, watching their little miracle go through the doorway.

           Susan placed Nike on under a bush away from the house before turning to the house. She rushed towards the house. As she got closer to the entrance, the house exploded. Sending, Susan flying into the forest. Coughing, she slowly got up. She turned and stared at the house in horror as the fire slowly ate the house away.
