Chapter ONE
(3 years before)
It was all figured out, five years away from the bitches and they are still out to get me. I couldn’t help it. I knew too much for them to just up and leave me alone. My box of funny cover ups wouldn’t be able to save my ass like any other time.
I sighed picking up my gun and walking inside of my house from the back. As my shoes clacked on the wooden floor, it creaked at every step I made. I walked inside of the kitchen laying it down on the counter so I could try and drink….. Water.
I was ready. I wasn’t going to get caught off guard by these people. I was way too smart for that. Even though I could never get killed, I was immortal. No matter how much they stabbed me, how much they shot at me, and how much they set me on fire I was still going to be here. I don’t have a weakness; well at least I think I didn’t at the time.
“Mommy,” Gio, his little frame. I smiled and laughed as he had a big grin on his face.
I looked up from the fridge and just to see him. He was only 5 years old and beginning to look so big. Before I died, I had to leave him something to remember me by.
“Yes son?” I asked.
“I am very hungry,” He said.
At the time, I never really knew how to cook. I never knew how to do anything. I usually let my instincts take over me and do whatever. In those days, my only solution was… to eat humans.
“I want the baby next door,” He smiled with his brown eyes.
The baby next door, that was Danny Bush, 6 months old, fat and juicy. Mother, Carolyn Young, 29 years of age. Young, meaty, and was just right for lunch.
“Dinner will be ready soon Gio,” I smiled to him.
He ran off down the hall with his shoes untied and his cuffs on his pants nearly ripped. The dirt traveled on the floor all the way to him.
I took the gun and put it on the bottom of the kitchen chair. As I did that, I could hear everything. I knew I was hungry because my…. Other side was beginning to show. I could hear the world from just right where I am standing. No matter who, I can read, hear, and watch whomever. It really annoyed me. The cries of some people, and the fussing of others. The heart beats where like head phones projecting music into my ears.
“Hello Carolyn, my son Gio and I just wanted to swing by and say hello.” I said putting Gio down.
“Ooh this is unexpected. Come inside….” She trailed off asking for my name.
“Miranda,” I smiled at her and Gio waved at her.
“Why, hello Gio!” She laughed.
She was motioning for us to come inside. We walked inside and I could smell her sweet scent from all over. She wasn’t a drinker, or smoker. She rarely had men over, and she took care of herself well. I knew my….. Other side was going to emerge from within me and devour female. How could it not, she was just my appetite.
I licked my lips smiling warmly at her as she talked on and on about pointless shit. Gio, he was ready to lung and attack her. He was impatient. He wanted everything on time. Who would’ve known that at 5 years old, he would be such a powerful risk taker.
“Mommy, when are we going to eat?” He asked impatiently.
Carolyn stopped talking and looked from the stove to Gio and smiled warmly. I turned to Gio and gave him and eye that meant he was going to get beat.
“Gio,” I started trying to keep my happy act up. “Baby how about we just go-“Carolyn interrupted me tapping my shoulder.
“No, I just made dinner. Stay.” She said.
“Noooo we can’t do that! I don’t want you to think that we can’t afford anything here. Look I will come see you tomorrow and we can talk more then.” I said standing up.
She stopped me and put some pasta on a plate. “No, I don
‘I have many friends. Please stay.” She begged.
She handed Gio the plate and he looked at the plate uneasy. He wasn’t used to eating human food. He wasn’t raised like I.
“I insist.” She smiled.
I relaxed and winked at Gio telling him that she has falln’ for our trick. Humans where so damn stupid sometimes. Erase that, all the time! So easy to trick them and fill them up with lies.
“Thank you very much Carolyn, I really a-“
“Don’t sweat it. Anytime!” She smiled. “Call me lynn by the way.”
I shook my head. I really didn’t reconsider eating this woman. I felt nothing for the bitch. She was beautiful at the most! But who cares? She probably is being forgotten about as we speak.
I looked at her and she looked back. I began to get dizzy and my sight was going in and out. My other side was coming. The numbness inside of my body began to have me not move. I could feel myself burning up and my eyes going into the back of my head.
“MIRANDA?!” the lady yelled out.
The strong wrap around my body was hard and I couldn’t get out of it. I felt my teeth growing and my different appearance show up.
I could only sit back and watch. I couldn’t retrieve my body until it wanted to come back. Until my demon wanted to come back. The fire burned my body and every other soul that was in the pits of hell. They all screamed including me. The fire would never cool down here, it was always like this.
I could hear Satan laugh as we all begged for this to be over. I soon stopped laughing and was knocked out. I could feel the heat of the fire burning me up but I couldn’t scream or run. I could only watch.
It stood up tapping Gio’s shoulder and walked over to her. It smiled and Carolyn knew something was wrong.
“I think it’s time for you to leave Miranda.” She said smiling uneasy.
“Why is that?” It asked.
She laughed nervously. I could hear her heat beat of her being afraid and her uneven breath was giving her lovely scent away more. It walked to her slowly touching her check softly while laughing evilly.
“Its just that I have work in the morning and-“
It was ready to attack and kill as she held her fat son inside of her arms. The want for flesh was driving it insane and it didn’t feel like talking anymore. Its teeth as sharp as knives; Its eyes were as red, as fresh blood. You could call me crazy, but really.. ‘it’ was.
“Miranda?” Carolyn asked.
Gio watched. He watched closely just to see if he needed to learn anything new from it.
Gio, I didn’t want you to grow up like this. It’s the fact that I am not raising you, it was. It will affect you. Run please Gio! Don’t end up like mommy!
“Miranda I think you should re-“
“SHUT UP!” It yelled. It took her neck and snapped it making her die instantly. It couldn’t wait to fest on her now.
Gio started at the baby and his saliva turned into dripping blood. The baby started to cry and it got sick of it. It took the baby by the head and ripped it from the body.
“Witch side do you want?” It asked.
