Don't Tap!

- 24 -

"That's right." The nun smiled at me. "I should have just handed you over to your mother when you came looking for help at the church. Should have sedated your coffee. You keep snooping around."

"Why are you a nun?" I frown.

"I'm no nun." Sister Paula laughed. "Not anymore. I am the leader of my coven. I am the founder and leader of the cun-folk witches. Evil runs in my veins. Did you know that the church can't stop evil from within?"

"What do you mean?" I mumble.

"Now, a demon, that kind of evil can be warded off. But a human with evil in their veins? Not so easy to ward off." Sister Paula removed her head piece and ruffled her dark brown hair. "Your mother came to me and confessed about how unhappy she was. Her husband wasn't in love with her anymore, her kids stole her youth and were enjoying it instead –"

"Bullshit. I've never even had a boyfriend." I scoff.

"Oh, but boys want you." Sister – or just Paula – gave me a strange look. "You have no idea how many young boys come by and confess that they've had a little naughty naughty session with their right hand because of you." She winked at me.

"Gross."

"To you maybe. I encourage it." Paula snickered. "But your mother... She did not appreciate it so much."

"I hated you from the moment Paula took me in. She told me about your ways. I had to get rid of you to gain my beauty back. You were stealing it away from me. And I didn't like that. Not one bit." Anna shook her head.

"Anna, ready for round two?" Paula asked Anna.

"As ever." She grinned, getting up. Before she could move towards me, we heard the loud sirens outside. My mom's face twisted into one of fear. Paula seemed caught off guard.

"Come, Anna. We must go." Paula reached over for my mom and only managed to grab her hand when they came face to face with a police officer.

"How?" Anna turned to us.

"Your so-called wannabe witch called them." Ivana finally spoke up. "Don't think about getting away because I have everything recorded on call and on me."

"What?" Anna turned to me.

"You're an evil person. No one will call you a mother." I muttered.

"Mrs. Anna Carter and Ms. Paula Wisconsin, you are both under arrest for the murders of Mr. James Carter and Ms. Katherine Klay, along with the practice of sorcery to harm. See you two in jail." The main cop announced as the other two cuffed both women. "You did good, kids."

"Thank you." Allen managed as the cops hauled the two of them out. We watched by the doorway as they carried my father's corpse out.

"Thank you so much, Ivana. We really appreciate the help you've given us." I thanked Ivana at the door.

"Anytime. If you need help, just let me know." She shook my hand and headed off. I walked back into my house and turned to Allen. "We still have to find the book."

"We'll look tomorrow." He answered. "at least that's over."

"Or is it?" We both turn to see a dark figure near the kitchen doorway.

"Who are you?" I demand. "Tell us or we're calling the cops." Even as I spoke, more figures showed up through the shadows.

"We are the demons your mother kept." They announced uniformly. "And we'll keep you."

An abrupt end but it's not really the end now is it?

For all you curious and a hint of romance loving fans, we have the sequel in prep, I'm Fine (on paranormal).

But before that, the prequel (full on horror) will be posted around this time tomorrow. I hope you are ready to read the gory side of Alyssa's mother's adventure throughout the timeline of this book.

Again, it has been a wonderful journey with you all. I'm so glad I found you guys because you motivated me so much to keep on writing everyday.

For those of you who like visual stories, I will be re-continuing my humor based visual book I'm Dating Myself as soon I get home from this holiday trip thing.

For those of you who like K-pop and romance, I have a book called Idol. I promise, it is nothing like those fan-fics you read. A bit.

For jap fanatics, I have Kurai, a fantasy currently on hold but over 18 parts posted.

But you guys, my lovely Don't Tap! crowd, I shall see you all tomorrow with the first chapter of Covenant.

Thanks again, guys.

I love you all ❤️
