Beelzebub

Chapter 4

I heard someone's screaming.

I heard a female voice full of agony and pain,

My mind was playing game with me and I was letting it do that,

My imagination. That was exactly what I thought first when the scream pierced my ear drum.

The scream came again but this time more desperately. My eyes felt wide open, my pulse quicken. Blood drained from my face , before I could do anything in my consciousness my feet came in contact with cold floor. I didn't know what to do but I knew I had to get there, fast.

I opened the door of my room and found Lilly with horror wide open eyes, mouth open and rigid, face immobile with white knuckles clenching the bed sheet so tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

She screamed again but this time she said something, ' Papa, please please let them live please, I would do anything please. I'm begging you.'

It came more as a hysterically crying. Tears were sprouting from her wide eyes as in her imagination she was begging the person to leave her family. Adrenaline rushed through me, my fingers curled around the door knob, her screaming made my feet rooted there and brought me somehow into the same agony.

I gulped the saliva back on my throat and came closer to her, at that time her screams were replaced with pure hysteric crying..

With pure disbelief,

With pure terror.

I knew her nightmare was over and she knew that too but I couldn't stop her from crying. I sat on the edge of the bed and started to remove her sweat stuck hair from her forehead to get a better look of her. I didn't know what should I do so, I did the one last thing came into my mind.

Placing one hand beneath her back and one hand on her shoulder I placed her on my lap, her head on my chest. She instinctively wrapped her arms around my waist and started crying more.

I let her do that.

I let her mourning over her family because she had a long way to fight in her future.

She was crying like a baby as I raked my hand over her head in a comforting manner. We never said one thing to eachother. I just couldn't bear myself to say anything. When her mufflings became less, I said the real truth to her,' I'm sorry Princess. I wish I could do something for you but I'm helpless.'

'I'm so sorry for everything.' with that I placed my lips on her hair. She didn't deserve any of it because of my disgusting fate she was there having the worst nightmares of her life. And the worst part of it that I didn't even know how could I ever be able to stop all of this with her.

' Go to sleep Princess.' I murmured softly. Her hands around my waist became more tighter.

'I promise I'll be here whenever you need me.'

' you won't leave me? '

I nodded my head implying no.

' I usually sleep with my mamma because we didn't have enough rooms so, I'm just afraid if you leave me, nightmares will come again.'

' okay. I'll never leave you. Just go to sleep Princess.'

With that she fell asleep on my lap with me raking and rubbing my hands on her back and head in a comforting way.

I never slept that day. The wall clock ticked like the timer on a bomb. I couldn't stop it, reverse it or slow it down. Each tick drags me forward, helpless and nervous to the allotted time. I could no more avoid it than the beating of my own heart as it pounds with futility against it's cage of bone and cartilage. 

My mind was running in a circle around one and only name that was Martin.

If he would know what I had done, Lilly's life could be in a danger too and I couldn't let that to happen.

I had to do something. Fast.

I tried to think to finish everything I had started but what I didn't know was that it was just the beginning.

May be keeping her somewhere else would be appropriate?

But she didn't knew anyone, fuck it. I didn't know if she had any relative here in Los cabos, Mexico.

The last question came into my mind was why was I so desperate for her safety, for her life? It wasn't like she was anything in my life rather than a responsibility which I never ever wanted to bear.

Or you can say reminder of my sin.

Taking a deep breath I tried to got up from bed but the small hands seemed to be tightened more with some incoherent mumbling I didn't understand. Looking at her open mouth while she was sleeping a foreign calmness came into my chest. Like I wanted her to be safe, secure, away from any of my own demons.

Little do I knew all of this could be happen if only....

I could send her away.

Alone.
