TWIXT : THE BEGINNING

The glance

I have heard people say that the devil's cave is dark and scary and that if you make a pact with him your fate of death is sealed but I happen to be alive and I'm still breathing.
    And the truth is I've seen the devil and I've cone to know the truth wouldn't you want to?

       I was born 2003 13  September into a Christian family. My mum was a nun and I was raised in strict condition so much that i was planning to be one too.  When I was three years old I developed  a peculiar habit of hearing voices but this was not the only problem.  I could hear foot steps in a deserted place. And the flaps of wings in a silent forest.  The willows in the river loved to sing to me.

    Problem was only I could hear them. A year after this issues for worse my father left leaving me and my little sister and my mom behind. The voices disappeared after.11 years later on 14 September 2019 they reappered.

      After a fight at school ,I remember clearly , i had punched a girl for calling me crazy. We had fought something i hadn't ever done before and I was called to the principal's office.

' lizzy Monroe your mother will be disappointed'

' I apologize sir I promise to never do it again '

' I'm afraid that you cannot be accused......  '

'But sir I ....'

'You lizzy are suspended for two weeks '

I left the office there was no use arguing. Mr marks wasn't my fan especially since I had denied him a chance to be my stepfather once.

I left for home and since I didn't want to face the queer faces of the community who would obviously ask me why I was out of school than I used a shortcut; Linden river.

  It's silence always cooled me. A place where Tom walker must have met the devil or where the Salem witches must have met in the night. It reminded me of how people always said that I must have met the devil himself some even claimed that were there, Carol being one of them.

     I saw lizzy with the devil. Of course they did they ........

I had tripped but as ussual on a straight path. Looking down there was a cufflink on the ground with a Angel wing sculpted on it. I looked around no one was there. I put in my pocket and alas a voice appeared to me.

Don't look behind you.

And like every child would've done i immediately looked behind me only to see a shadow in the distance and the whispers saying.

God wouldn't intefere...
