Black-Eyed Children

Stories from the Lovers' Grave

There was once a young woman, about the age of 27, who lived in a warm, comforting home.

It was snowing outside, so she was making cocoa for her and her husband, while her husband

was grabbing some blankets to bundle up in. Carrying the hot cocoa, the wife froze to a stop.

There was a long, sudden knocking on the door. She grabbed a blanket, covering herself, and

slowly opened the door. There was two amiable children, under dressed in the snow. They had

black hair, with long bangs covering the boy and girl's eyes. So the woman and her husband

looked at the children, asking the poor things for their names. "Do you have a family?" "What's

your name, sweetie?" But no matter what she asked, their only responses are "Our parents are

coming...May we come in?" The sweet family had a cat, who shook it's head no, despising the

children at first sight. But nevertheless, the family let the mysterious children in the house. The

wife went to the kitchen to get some cocoa for the kids, who must have been freezing out in the

snow, while the husband asked for their names. They looked up at once, revealing their beady,

black eyes. "May we use the restroom?" They said at once with urgency. He pointed the way, and

they left the room with silence. The wife came back, holding two more mugs for them, and she

questioned the silence. Her husband looked shook, afraid of what he just saw, but said not as

much of a word. But before she could ask what was wrong, the whole house blacked out. A

mysterious jet-black car pulled up, waiting. The married couple heard the twin echo of "our

parents are here" following their black-suited family away. When the lights came back on, no

one noticed that the cat was dead in a corner, laying in a puddle of its own blood.

Later in the week, the wife came down with this fatal illness, with a fever higher then ever

before. The husband disappeared from her sight, probably dead, leaving her to die alone in

the darkness of the night. No one knows if this is coincidence or not, but rumor has it that this is

what happens if you let in these demonic children.
