From Assassin to Motherhood

Chapter 4, My Cannibalistic Clown

    It's storming out today. The kids were on the floor putting together a puzzle. I had laid out a simple set of rules for Martha. The most important rule would be to keep my job and her training a secret from Gerrard and certain others. She had been doing a pretty good job with that. I walked over to a chair in the playroom and sat down in front of the bored children.

   We were staying at my friend Satoru's mansion in Japan for the summer. A fun idea for a vacation I would of thought at the moment if it hadn't been pouring outside. I sighed bored out of my mind just like the children when doorbell sounded off. A black haired male with blue streaks walked down the stairs. "I'll get it," he offered. I nodded, "Thank you, Satoru.".

Satoru's POV

    "Who would be out in a storm like this?" I wondered to myself as I opened the door. At first I had thought this was a door bell prank, then looked down in shock. It was a baby. I picked it up. There was note attached;

This is Lucille. She is an abnormal child, but I hope you can except her in your hearts for what she is. She means no harm but it is in her nature feed off of  your kind. She will choose one of whoever is in the household. That will be the one responsible for her. You an give her substitutes such as pet store animals, park squirrels, and stray dogs and cats. What ever you do, do not let her out in the free world alone. She can and will attack anybody unless instructed not to by her owner. And yes, I am referring to her as a cannibal. She was an experiment that went horribly wrong, but I took pity on her and decided to give her a chance at life. Sadly I couldn't take her in myself, so I hope you can give her the life I never could. Know that she cannot die and if you've already been chosen by her there's no going back. Try to give her away and you will burden those people with death. Good luck.

Sincerely gone.

    "Is this some sort of joke?"  I thought to myself, "This small baby is not a man eater. She's just a baby. It's not possible. Lucky she's with us now and not that sci-fi minded freak. What are we going to do with her? I can't keep her. I don't think I'm ready to be a dad just yet and---Ahhhhh!" I screamed snapping back to reality as there was a loud crunching noise.

My POV

    I jumped up from my seat when there was a loud scream coming from Satoru. "Stay there," I ordered the two frightened children and ran towards the commotion. I was unable to comprehend what I was seeing. Satoru was on the floor clutching where his fingers should have been on his right hand and there was baby next to him munching on a ring finger. Satoru's ring finger. "Satoru!" I ran over to him.

Time Skip 

    We were at the kitchen table wondering what to with the baby. Satoru was looking down at his now bandaged hand. "He sure is lucky I knew how to take care of that,"  I thought to myself. I used to spend a lot of time with a doctor I was friends with. I now only go to him for emergencies, such as accidents that rarely happen at work.

    The cannibalistic two year old known as Lucille, was chained to the wall. We both agreed to call her Lucy for short. The children were safe upstairs in their rooms. I looked at the note then at her. She's does look quite peculiar. She had bright beautiful blonde hair, but her eyes were unlike anything I had ever seen. The outer irises were bright yellow, while the inner was a mixture of maroon and mahogany. Her skin tone was normal all except her face. It looked as if someone had bleached it white and her lips were a bright red. Last of all she had the ability extend long sharp claws.

    She looked like a clown. Not that I had a problem with that. I actually found her abnormalities to be cute. She was staring at me. "What's up?" I asked her. She continued staring at me. I shrugged and all of a sudden she broken her chains! Before I knew it she was...sitting in my lap...cuddling me? "Uh?" was all I could utter at her unorthodox approach. Satoru stared at me with his mouth gaping open. I shrugged, "She likes me," I then pointed out, "Um. Your going to catch flies, Satoru."
