The reservoir flow
With memoirs woe
If you too slow
You won't last
This blast from the past
"Rosalyn, you've been hiding something from me," he singsong as he herded Rosalinda's mother into a corner in the foyer."I don't know what you are talking about," she said pressing herself against the wall.
"I am called by many names. Odin. Osiris. Yama. Mictlantecuhtli. Thanatos. Death," he said pausing between each word. "You will not continue to hide away like this!" He bellowed blanketing the room in darkness. His rage was palpable on the air. To know that these mere creatures dared to harm his child. To do so was to forsake their souls! And he loved souls.
"T-thanatos, I don't understand why you are here," she wheezed terror clinging to her pores.
"Do not feign innocence with me! Deep down, you know. You are no simple mortal. Somewhere in your bloodline is the power of a demon. A demon of immense power. You've been in denial all this time. You fear being the very monster that you claim Rosalinda to be."
"That's not true! Shut up! You're lying! I don't want to hear it! You're not welcome here!" she screeched hysteria bubbling toward the surface of her mind and spilling out of her mouth.
"Just like my daughter wasn't welcomed here?!" he hissed maliciously. Invading her personal space, he ran his fork tongue along her jawline in a caress before moving towards her ear. Her fear, it was simply mouthwatering. He wanted a dash of terror to go along with it. Grinning sinisterly, he shifted so his rotting flesh pressed against her. The skin squished and splattered, the juices from his flesh staining her clothes. He could see nausea welling in her eyes.
His teeth had expanded very much like his daughter's. Grabbing her by the arm so she could no longer hold them folded against her chest, he jerked her forward. His teeth tore into her flesh as he bit down on her arm. The blood swirled in his mouth as she screamed. Pulling back, he grinned at the open wound before burying maggots in the torn flesh and stitching it closed.
"You are now infected my dear Rosalyn. They will eat you inside out, while I'm at it, let's infest you with more creatures or shall I just deliver to the door step of the demon king?"
She could feel the maggots inside of her eating away at her flesh. she was young foolish. She didn't know what to do, especially after having Dominic so young. He was fun mysterious until he reveal his true nature and she fled. It was too late when she found out she was pregnant. She never told him. She thought that Rosalinda would be normal. She didn't want her to be a monster like her family was. Sobbing, she collapsed the floor welcoming her fall.
