Have you ever felt a freezing chill on a hot day, but only in one specific area?
That's them.
Have you ever been walking and been forced to turn around because you feel as though someone was watching you?
They were.
These creatures are called Pemakan Kematian, which means "death eaters"
Their job is to occupy your mind to try to get you to do something stupid and die. They love watching people die, it's what they feed off of. These creatures will cause you bad luck and sorrow until you die, or cause you to do something to inevitably die.
There was once a man who claimed he saw them. He described them as little children, dressed as they belonged to a time long ago with eyes black as the night. He said that their laugh brought chills to the spine. He was driven mad by these children, as they tormented him, forcing him to stub his toe, making pans fall onto his head, or causing his shower to boil his skin. He said that the entire time he could see them and they knew. And they didn't like that, he killed himself after one of them pushed his wife down the stairs.
I'm telling you this because I too, have seen these children. But they do not yet know I know of their existence.
I saw them from across the street, I witnessed as they tripped a women crossing the street, causing her ankle to twist. And I saw as the semi truck slammed into her body and crushed her head like a grape. Right after the truck veered to a stop I saw as a misty silhouette rose from the dead women. And I watched as the children attacked it, devouring the shape like it was candy. Then they looked at me. And I looked at the body, trying to play it off like I didn't see what happened. And ran over to the women on the road, just feet from the children. I had to pretend they were not there, they couldn't know I knew. I did the best I could as I lied to the police officers, saying the women tripped and the truck had no way of seeing her. I went home and immediately started scouring the internet trying to find something about these children to protect myself. What I found was from television shows and movies, nothing that portrayed the children as what I encountered.
So I started looking into dark magic. And found something useful. It was a spell that summoned a demon that knew everything about everything. Her price was an animal sacrifice. And I was desperate. From what I saw that night I knew demons were real and that meant so must witchcraft.
So I followed the steps exactly, placing candles in a circle, dimming the lights, and grabbing my cat from the kitchen. As I began the spell I plunged the knife directly into my cats heart and barely held back my tears as I chanted.
The sacrifice has been made
For the information I will obtain
Blood shall trickle from the blade
For the information I will obtain
The sacrifice has been made
Come to me Ms Lora Lade
Then the candles in the circle blew out.
Then, standing there in the dimly lit room, was a beautiful women. The spell actually worked. I bowed my head, remembering the rules of the spell.
"Arise, Noah " she spoke
As I Rose to gaze at her she stared at me.
"What question do you have mortal? " she said, almost mocking.
"T-The children.... what are they? " I stammered.
"Ahh yes, I was wondering when they would make their appearance known."
"well... they already made it known, and the guy ended up killing himself"
" Do you think I do not know of the story? Me, the most knowledgeable demon of them all? " she spat. "the children are a very high level demon, they are the offspring of the devil himself. They choose only one person to take into the underworld and train. And considering you're still alive and able to call upon a demon with that pathetic excuse of a sacrifice, " she pointed to my fat dead cat on the ground, "that must mean you're the one. "
"The one what?" I was confused now.
"Father" she spoke softly, as though she was anxious. " The children can only do so much with the powers they have, they require a guardian, a... parent, to hold the power of the dark lord for them as their bodies are weak and would burn up with the all of the power inside of them, that man was weak, and they knew that, that's why he is dead. " she was almost angry now.
"No. I refuse. I won't become a demon, I refuse to kill people! " I screamed.
"You speak as if you have a choice. " she laughed, as she disappeared.
I didn't know what to do. So I went out back to bury my cat. And heard laughing coming from up the street. So I followed it. And I saw them again, this time feeding on a man that jumped out his window. When they were done I continued to watch them, hoping they didn't see me behind the fence. And I watched them skip gingerly back to a tree on the sidewalk, to a shadow I did not notice before, and hug him. They held him with Glee and cheer. Then they all melted into the ground.
Could it be? Was it really true? Even if it were I still refused to do something so wrong morally. I walked back home and dug my cats grave, just before putting him in the hole I saw something in the dirt, and stuck my shovel in, it was a coin."one more for my collection" I thought to myself as I bent down to pick it up.
I shouldn't have done that. Because as I stood up hands shot up from the earth and started pulling me down. I screamed for help, nobody came, I screamed I was dying, nobody came. And just before my head went under the dirt I woke up. Bringing my head from my pillow I looked around, confused and dazed I walked downstairs for a glass of water.
"Daddy Daddy can you get me some water too? " a little voice chirped.
"Sure I can Angelica " I said. I loved my children, and I couldn't imagine life without them. I'm just glad that I had them to make me feel better after such a weird night. As I poured 4 glasses of water for my kids and got out cereal from the top shelf I felt warm and satisfied.
"Daddy you know we can't eat that" my son Robert said laughing.
"Oh that's right ,I forgot" I said "let's go out and get breakfast kids." they cheered as we went to a restaurant and got eggs and bacon for all my kids.
Then I remembered. I don't have kids. I live alone...
I looked at the children sitting across from my and my head spun. Their eyes turned black as they ate from their plates. I rubbed my temples trying to get rid of the headache I had. And when I opened my eyes we weren't in a restaurant, we were in the cockpit of a plane, the pilot just spilled coffee all over the control panel, we were going down, and the children were playing hop-scotch behind the pilot. I screamed as I saw the ground coming at us fast.
"Daddy calm down we won't get hurt. " Mary said.
The plane crash was awful, bodies flying everywhere as the plane burst into flames. Yet we didn't move. The kids continued to play their game and cheered as they skipped across the squares. When the plane settled I saw all of the people get up, even though their bodies were still on the ground. They looked terrified as they looked around.
I looked at the children again. They stopped playing. They looked at me with their deep black eyes and waited for me to say something.
I still loved them, even after everything they did to me. "Go ahead and eat kids" I said as they ran off to the passengers, laughing and smiling as they ate each spirit.
"Daddy we saved you some " they all said simultaneously, dragging a screaming soul to me. I knew it was wrong, but I knew it was right. The souls help us grow stronger and keep us alive. So I ate...
"Can we go home now daddy? " Rebecca said.
"Sure we can sweetie " I said. "Come on kids, it's time to go. " I called as my children all jumped onto me, hugging me tightly, softly thanking me for the meal. And we all sank back onto the earth
