Insanity (ManxMan)

Prologue

Mr. and Ms Jones pull into their driveway after a late night movie.

It was their first outing as a couple without their son.

Mrs. Jones was getting very nervous, the time being away from her newborn getting to her.

As so as Mr. Jones parks she jumps out of the car smiling.

Her smile instantly falls seeing the words written grimmly on the side of her mansion.

Welcome home!

Quickly she rushes to her house pulling the cracked door open.

She steps into the parlor and looks around wide eyed.

Her eyes widen and tear up as she feels something wet hit her shoulder.

She looks up at her ceiling and nailed to it is her maid.

Her eyes had been gouged out and on her head laid a thorn crown.

"Kind of like jesus don't you think" a cynical voice asks.

Her head quickly turns seeing a man in a grey suit sitting comfortably on her couch.

She screams as her husband wraps his arms around her protectively.

"Why are you here" she demands looking at her ex ally.

He grins "you don't know?'

She gulps "leave".

Her husband tenses up as he realized what the man was holding.

"Ugly isn't it" the man says tilting his head to the side looking at the baby.

"Why do people insist to have these" he says with a snicker.

"Their useless" he grumbles.

The woman screeches and moves towards them to get her baby.

He chuckled to himself as he jumped up from the couch.

"Don't get any closer" he sassed.

The couple watched with wide eyes as the mad man held their newborn son.

"You owe me Cecia" the man coos.

"P-please we don't have the money" the woman cries out.

"You promised me a payment".

"Now I'm taking it" he yells waking the baby.

The baby begins to cry and the man glares at the child.

"Shut up" he demands.

The baby keeps crying causing the man to jerk him a bit.

The small child keeps crying loudly.

"Shut it up" he demands throwing the child at the woman.

She screams out and clumsily catches the baby.

For the first time the man speaks.

"That was a dumb move" he says and pulls out a gun.

"Was it" the man asks his eyes shining brightly.

"Give me the child or I tell him" the grinning psycho chirps.

Mrs jones face reddens and slowly makes her way to him.

Mr. Jones lets out a yell of anger and pulls the trigger of his pistol.

The twenty five year old quickly dodges the bullet aimed for his head.

He grabs the child from the woman and holds him up.

He knew the man wouldn't shoot at him while he was holding the baby.

He grins and walks out of the house rocking the child as he hums.

"Five" he says in a sing-a-song voice.

"Four" he laughs.

"Three" the baby boy looks up.

"Two" his soft green eyes search the unfamiliar man's face.

"One" the man coos and.

As if by luck loud explosions fill the air.

The beautiful estate going up in flames.

"Say bye bye to mommy and daddy" the man says smiling sweetly.

The small 6 month old reaches up to grab the man's nose.

His cute little toothless grin causing the man of many faces to smirk.

The peaceful silence is broken by the sound of wailing fire trucks, police cars, and first aid/

The small child's face scrunches up in dislike.

He lets out a quiet whine.

The man hushes him and walks to his car rocking the disturbed boy.

"Don't cry little man" he says softly as he opens the back door of his mercedes SUV.

Inside sat a little pink baby seat, the man shook his head softly.

"Ill get you a green one later, i was expecting a girl" the man explains though the child will not understand.

The boys bottom lip quivered as the sirens got louder.

As the man buckled the boy in pieces of the house began to fall.

He grinned happily as he secures the seat.

He begins to hum as he closes the door.

"They never saw me come in" he hums.

He opens his door and slides in.

"And I pray on the naive" he laughs and starts the engine/

The baby cries out and his little hands clench together.

He hums softly as he drives away.

Completely unnoticed.

He looks up at the rear-view mirror and grins at the sleepy crying boy.

"I have so many plans for you" he coos and grins when the boy finally falls asleep.

"So many plans" he sighs, his grin turning sinister.
