Playing The Devils Tune

"Lyra baby girl, I need you to listen to mama no matter what" mamas eyes started to well up with tears, her voice came out shaky.

I need you to stay in here until daddy or one of the maids you recognize come for you, Don't open up nor make a sound no matter what, even if you hear...things" before I could answer mama she pulled on one of the large books causing an opening in the shelve, pushing me in she apologized slamming the shelve back to its normal state.

"mama!" I tried pushing, banging, kicking and screaming at the dark wall to open which I came from but it didn't budge a bit. Sighing in defeat I slumped down the wall silently whimpering for my parents.

All of a sudden I heard mothers scream from outside the wall, she was still in the library...

"you wretched demon!" I heard the male stranger scream at mama with much distaste towards her, mama kept screaming to the top of her lungs.

I squeezed my eyes shut, vibrating with fear for mama.

There was a thump then every thing went silent that moment... I felt something warm and sticky start to soak my hand, jumping up I wiped my hand on my dress confused-- the strong scent of blood hit me like a wave but this wasn't just any blood, the scent was familiar, smelling the air one more time I froze to the familiar scent, this was mamas blood.
