The Beginning Of Corruption (Book 1)

chapter 6

All I can hear is the shove scraping the hard dry dirt. I sat down finally done digging a hole. It was not deep, but deep enough to hide a body. I fell down and I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. By killing the devil I unleased my demons. I pushed Mrs Luis body into the hole and covered it up again. I walk back into the house to see the girls in the hallway that leads to the front door. They are stared at me as I walked in. "I..," they walked away from me. "Please...I'm...sorry..." I could not breathe, I just took the only woman they have known from them.

April 1915

It has been 4 months since I killed Mrs Luis. The girls refuse to speak to me unless they needed something. The same thing I did to them four months ago. One day Josephine and I went to the market to get a few things. We are standing at the butcher waiting for him to finish our order.

Someone whistled behind me, Josephine is staring at the person. "Can we get that wrapped," I said hurrying the butcher.

I pulled Josephine closer, and my baby kick my side. I whinced at the pain, and felt someone body heat on my back. I grab the food in walked away.

"Wait!" The man grapped my wrist and twisted me around. His breath smelled like alcohol and his shirt ripped.

I looked up to face him, "let me go!"

"No!" He grabbed my chin bruising my face.

"The fair lady said 'let me go' I suggest you do so." The voice came from a man with a funny accent. He had a black suit on with black hair and dark blue eyes. The man who was holding me let me go, Josephine and I rushed home.

From the market to our house is 10 miles. The bad part about living on the outskirts of town. But you live far enough so no one will get into your business. "You should have killed him."

"Josephine do not!"

"Do not what, Amanda? We are not humans! And you are far from it!"

I grabbed her shoulders pinching them and dropped her eye level. "Stop now!" A car started to approach us and stop. The window rolled down to reveal the blue eyed man in the suit.

"Do you ladies need a ride?"

Josephine and my words clashed together. After an intense death stare I replied, "No thank you." I push Josephine to keep walking.

He rode beside us slowly. "Ma'am pregnant. You should not be walking in the heat." I kept walking and felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

"Do not touch me!" He took a step back, how do you get all his car that fast?

"That child will tear you from the inside out! Josephine get in the car!"

"What how," he cut me off.

"I will explain later."

After hours of pain I heard a baby screaming. "Give me my baby." The stranger was holding my child.

"I cannot do that Amanda. You're far to danger for your child right now."

"What do you mean to dangerous?" I tried to move but he stopped me.

"You will pull your stitches!"

He wanted to continue talking but I interrupt to him. "Who are you?" He turned his head towards the door. The triplets are standing there, Josephine walks up and takes my child from his arms.

"My name is Ben Francis. And I'm here to investigate Mrs Luis death."
