Tiffany looked around the room at the others, she looked as if she was communicating with them telepathically. She gave them a nod and they did the same in reply.
The babysitter closed her eyes and chanted ,"Oh hear the Infernal Names of :Abaddon, Kali," as she continued the others joined in the chant, "Sekhmet, and Dagon Drink from your chalice."
The lying caregiver slowly stepped closer to the helpless boy on the ground. She walked calm and slow like a bride walking down the isle.
Sander listened to the harmony of monsters and felt the worst one of all getting closer to him.
Sanders heartbeat began to increase, making his breath do the same. His body seemed to know the moment was coming before his mind even knew.
One.
"Turn clockwise, pointing your athame,"
Two.
"cane,"
Three steps and the babysitter was at the edge of the circle.
"or sword at each quarter and call forth the Princes of Hell: Satan from the north, Lucifer from the West, Belial from the south, and Leviathan from the east."
"Once more!" Tiffany shouted, dramatically holding the knife above her head.
The group began the chant again, more passionately this time. The babysitter stepped into the circle.
"Oh hear the Infernal Names of :Abaddon, Kali, Sekhmet, and Dagon Drink from your chalice!"
Sanders heartbeat became louder than the chants as he watched Tiffany stand above him.
"Turn clockwise, pointing your athame, cane, or sword at each quarter,"
The babysitter straddled Sander and held the knife close to her chest if it was her hands in prayer. She closed her eyes and smiled. The exact same smile Sander saw so many times. The same smile that brought him comfort and safety.
The last smile he'd ever see.
Sander without control began to cry harder. His breaths became shallower causing him to almost choke on his tears. The blood spilling down his face began to get into his left eye causing him to cry tears of blood and the blood wasn't even his own. The mixture of liquids burned his face.
"and call forth the Princes of Hell: Satan from the north,"
The babysitter rose the knife above her head again.
"Lucifer from the West,"
Sander's eyes met Tiffany's. She showed no remorse for her actions, in fact her eyes showed nothing at all. They were empty, just as before.
"Belial from the south,"
If only he knew what her eyes told him earlier, he would have a longer life. He closed his eyes and imagined better times. Times spent with his parents, times spent with his Friends, and oddly enough, times spent with Tiffany. He wanted his last thoughts to be happy so maybe he could continue to be happy in the afterlife.
"and Leviathan from the east."
BANG
BANG
BANG
A loud voice on the other side of the front door yelled, "This is the police open up!"
