A Dark Moons Rising

6

Amilia reaches her hand out towards his and a strong electric charge brings them together until their fingers interlock. 

The mother softly lays Amelia's blood streaked head down in the soft grass as her eyes softly close.

Around Amilia is a soft yellow glowing light.  In Front of her eyes was a young smiling blonde boy. around his eyes were wrinkly, in his eyes was a white gleam that Amila had never known. His hands were high in the air, a slow motion laugh escaped his mouth. 

The boy who had brought her stood beside her and spoke "Happiness was the basis of my childhood and all i know".

The rollercoaster dipped down and he screamed in a mix of terror and laughter. 

He slides two fingers to the right. In one hand he held a paper cone; Around the top of it was a sticky pink ball that looked like cotton. In the other hand he held his mothers hand. A few paces behind them was my father.

He pushes out two fingers and the pictures stop moving.

"I was born from a previous relationship. One morning my mother woke up and went out into the living room to find my fathers bloodied corps. I remember being awakened that morning by a blood curdling scream. I wasn't allowed down stairs, Mommy didn't want me to see daddy covered in blood with blood and brain matter running down his face and his white button up work shirt drenched in blood. A knife was impaled in his abdomen. I had snuck down while she was outside. I remember the scarlet stained couch. I reached my hand out to his and held it, his once warm flesh had turned ice cold and limp."

At this moment Amelia's mother was behind her and placed a loving hand on her shoulder "I quickly remarried to give him another kind and loving father....." her voice trailed off as she started to cry. The boy came over and hugged her from the other side of Amilia.

"Mom you couldn't have known he was a murderer-". Amilia looks at him. "-Or a cannibal" the boy continues.

The boy pulls two fingers back and then swipes them to the right.

 In front of Amelia's eyes is a picture of her father and this boy standing in front of a moss covered wooden door with a silver door knob. Her father is standing over the small boy with a terrifying ravenous demon haunting his eyes. He says the words 'Happy kids make delicious kids' in a chillingly cool tone of voice while shoving the boy in through the door. Through the glass windows a reddish and  pink light shines into the room with fast approaching darkness as the light sun sets. Amelia's eyes spark in recognition of the location, it was the same cabin he had taken me to for our "father daughter vacation".  Amelia's eyes widened as her father lifts up the beautiful undusted rug that lines the outside of the large bed downstairs. With the sound of a click he moved his arm and pulled up a door and shoved the boy into it, he took a glance around the room as if he was expecting to see someone, he then slowly followed the boy in the hole. The inside was dark and damp with a slight chill of temp and a higher temp of evil. In the darkness she heard the noise of shuffling feet and a low angered muttering, After a few minutes of this exchange a dim light lit the center of the room. Under the light the boy was gagged and strapped to a long black table. The boys eyes are wide in fear. she watched in horror as her father lifted up a large knife and ran it across his soft belly flesh. Using the knife he cuts out a chunk of the soft skin and holds it up to his nose taking a large whiff of its bloody scent and warm feel.

 The boy's face is streaked with tears and shis shaggy blonde hair is soaked.  

The man picks up a bear bottle and slowly turns it over on top of the chunk of meat, his eyes gleam watching the liquid drip onto it slowly.  He lifts it to his face and sinks his teeth in, a mixture of honey and blood spill from the corners of his mouth. His facial expressions relax and his eyes sink low, while chewing his mouth forms and mutters the word delicious.

In the background i heard a squeaky hinged door squeak itself closed followed by a female voice screaming "My boy!". The father's head whips around and faces the angered woman.  "What did you do to my son?!" she demands trying to run to her boy only to be stopped by the older and stronger man. 

The man shoves her back having enough of this weak attempt at an attack. "ALL YOU EVER CARED ABOUT WAS THAT DAMN BOY! NOT THAT I NEEDED FOOD!" He grabs a knife and full force slams it through his chest into his heart and quickly ripping it out. "Now you only have me". He takes a bite of the boys heart as the mother crumbles to the ground with heavy and loud sobs. "So delicious, happy children truly do make the tastiest dinners" he says walking past the weeping woman and walking out of the underground room.

The boy pushes out two fingers and the moving images stop.

Amilia looks at him in disbelief then looks to her mother in disbelief. 

The mother of the two kids looked at Amilia and got down on her knees to look into her daughters eyes. "I didn't want you to meet the same fate as your brother, so I kept you from a happy life to let you live". She reached out for a hug, this was something she had always wanted to do but never could.

Amelia's eyes opened to the view of dark trees illuminated by red and blue lights as high pitched ring rang throughout the dead air.

The girl sat up and faced the male body on the tree as she looked at him there was no love for him left in her eyes. Under her breath she muttered the words " I dont love you, I dont love you like I did yesterday, when I knew only lies".

After the cars had parked within a matter of seconds guns were drawn out on her with scared uniformed officers cowering behind doors and vests of armor.
