The Pact

How It All Began

In a small little town in England called Leverinė five young girls were born on the same exact day from five different women. Legend has it that if five girls are born the same exact day that evil will descend and they will cause horrible tragedies.

When the whole town found out that five girls were born, they began to panic. They didn't want the legend to come true, so the whole town marched down to the small chapel with pitch forks and fire torches. They surrounded the small chapel and were shouting for them to come out.

"The whole town is outside Mary!" Said Maggie with fear laced in her voice, while still looking out the window. Mary was helping deliver the last baby girl with Tanya. "Maggie, go help father Pablo to try to stop the people from coming in here! Go now Maggie!" Said Tanya. Maggie left the room quickly and closed the door behind her. She took out the key from the pocket of her dress and locked the door, so that no one would enter the room. Maggie walked quickly passed the hallway and looked for father Pablo.

"Father, father where are you?" Said Maggie with worry laced in her voice. Father Pablo was by the front door of the chapel getting ready to open the door and face the angry mob that was out there. "Father, what are you doing?" Said Maggie with wide eyes. "Please tell me that you aren't going to open the door. Please!" Said Maggie with hope in her voice. Father Pablo only stared at her with sad eyes and said "My dear daughter Maggie, we must try to speak with these people and reason with them that these girls are no harm to us. And that the legend isn't true and just a myth." "But father they won't listen! Their all narrowed mined. They don't care to listen." Said Maggie. "We must try to convince them. It's our only hope Maggie." Said Father Pablo.

Meanwhile upstairs you can hear the faint cries of the newborn baby girls. And the screams of a mother trying to give birth. "Okay, Susan you can do it! Just one more push. She's half way there." Said Tanya with anticipation in her voice. "On the count of three push Susan, okay?" "Okay!" Said Susan with her eyes closed and squeezing Mary's hand. "One, two,... THREE! PUSH SUSAN!" Said Tanya. Susan screamed with pain in her voice and closed her eyes tight. The room was silent for a minute, until the fifth newborn baby girl started to cry. Susan started to cry with joy because her daughter was finally born. Tanya was holding Susan's daughter in her arms.

Mary let go of Susan's hand and took the baby from Tanya's arms. The baby girl was still crying while Mary carried her. Mary got a small towel and dabbed it in warm water to clean Susan's daughter. The baby girl stopped crying and relaxed under Mary's touch. Mary wiped the blood from the newborn baby girls face and then wiped the blood from the rest of the baby's body. Tanya gave Mary some newborn baby clothes so she can put it on the baby girl. Once Mary was done putting the clothes on the baby girl, she wrapped the baby in a blanket and gave the baby to Susan.

Tanya and Mary gave Susan and her newborn daughter some privacy. Tanya and Mary went to go check on the other four mothers that had newborn baby girls as well. The four mothers were holding their baby girls in their arms, trying to put their daughters to sleep, and having small talk between each other. "I see that you ladies are well." Said Tanya. "Yes, we are fine just a bit tired from giving birth to these beautiful babies." Said Janice. The rest of the mothers chuckled and nob their heads in agreement. "It's normal to feel tired after giving birth." Said Mary. "We'll let you guys rest now, if you guys need anything just ring the little bell." Said Tanya. "Okay, thank you." Said Norma with a warm smile on her face. Tanya and Mary smiled at the mothers and left the room. They head back to the room that Susan was temporally in.

Susan was holding her daughter in her arms and rocking her back and forth, while talking to her daughter. "My lovely daughter... Oh my dearest daughter. I'm so sorry for you and I. I can't let you live in this world. This world wasn't meant for you to live in and it wasn't meant for me either. I must do this so the legend won't come true. I can't let you and those other newborn girls destroy this world." Susan reached her hand towards the nightstand and took the pair of scissors that were laying there. Susan held the baby with one hand and on the other hand she held a pair of scissors. "I'm sorry baby girl, but this is for your own good and the world to. I'll see you in a better place my child." Susan's daughter began to cry once Susan laid her in the bed between her legs. Susan raised the pair of scissors with both of her hands and looked at her daughter that was still crying. Susan had tears in her eyes forming, but she knew what she had to do. Susan stabbed her newborn daughter in the chest and you can no longer hear the baby's cry.

Mary and Tanya unlocked the door of the room that Susan was in. Mary walked in first and Tanya followed behind her. Tanya was locking the door behind her and suddenly jumped when Mary screamed. Tanya turned around to look at Mary that was staring at Susan. Susan had her head down and blood on her hands while sitting in the bed. The pair of scissors were by her side and had blood on them still. Droplets of blood were stained on the sheets and pillows. Mary was shaking in fear and crying. Tanya was shocked, she was still for a few seconds. Until she took a few steps towards Susan to look for the baby girl that Susan had just given birth to. Tanya looked upon the bed and saw the baby girl with blood on her small chest and motionless. The baby girl was dead her face was pale. Tanya couldn't believe it.
"Susan, what did you do? Why did you do this to your daughter?" said Tanya. "I'm sorry I had no choice. This was the only way to protect her and everyone else." Susan grabbed the pair of scissors and looked at Tanya and said "I'm sorry." Susan stabbed herself in the neck and fell backwards against the headboard. Mary let out a loud scream. Tanya couldn't believe what just happened.

Maggie and Father Pablo rushed upstairs once they heard Mary scream again. They went into the first room and saw the four mothers and their daughters crying. They all held their baby daughters close and were frighten. "What's going on?" asked Janice. "Where is Mary and Tanya?" asked Father Pablo. "They said they were going to the room that Susan was in." said Debbie. "Okay, thank you don't open the door at all! Stay here Maggie with them! Said Father Pablo. "Okay, Father." Said Maggie. Father
Pablo left the room and went to the other room that Tanya and Mary were in. He opened the door and saw Mary crying on Tanya shoulder. "What happened?" said Father Pablo. Mary and Tanya both turned around and saw Father Pablo. Mary and Tanya eyes were red and puffy from all the crying. "Father, Susan killed her baby daughter and herself." said Tanya.

Days after Susan's death everything went back to normal. Susan was buried with her daughter at the cemetery. The four mothers went back to their homes with their daughters and lived their normal lives once again. Father Pablo, Tanya and Mary left the country to go to the holy land Israel. The town went back to normal and felt safe. The people felt that the legend wouldn't come true if their were only four girls and not five girls now that one was dead. But little did they know that the legend would still come true without five girls and just four.
