Deep into the woods stayed a small village. Almost known to be nameless if not for the oldies that told of the name it used to be called.
The truth is indeed that this place used to be a cheerful and happy one.
At least not until he was born.
A demon coming into the world in the form of man.
But I dare not reveal too much at the first chapter because it might leave you with nothing but nightmares.
I'll go slow and you know what your part is in this book? Try not to chicken out and read till the end.
You'd think I'm joking about this but keep reading if your curiously drives you to do so. First few chapters might be a breeze but what happens after that is a mystery.
The identity of the unknown will be revealed towards the end. It will shock you to know who has been behind this the entire time that had brought that demon into the earth. So you would want to stick around, I dare you.
Peggy POV
I woke up I'm the morning with much energy than ever before.
Not only the pupils but also the teachers have to make it early to school.
I washed my face outside in the river some distance away from my home.
I returned into the house and then to the kitchen to start cooking.
I heard footsteps going down the stairs and immediately knew it was my husband.
"Good morning darling." I greeted him.
"Good morning my love. What are you making for breakfast?" He asked.
"Oh the usual. Nothing new going on these days." I replied.
He walked closer and put his arms around me from behind.
"No matter how many times we eat the same thing for breakfast, your lovely hands keep making them taste unique." He said.
"Fine fine Henry, I get it." I said with a shy smile.
My husband's name is Henry.
We had gotten married to each other six months ago.
My husband has always be such a good person and had always shown me his love and care.
I can't help but wonder how lucky I am to be his wife.
My parents were the only ones who had disapproved of our marriage and they didn't even come for the ceremony.
They hated my husband for being a lumberjack and had this crazy belief that lumberjacks are evil.
Well, I loved my husband and I will stick to him till the very end. And till now I have never regretted my decision.
I may be living in an ancient looking house but it sure ain't no dump.
Soon enough food was ready.
I served my husband and then myself.
"Is there a problem?" I asked, noticing he hadn't touched his food.
"No never mind, I don't want to bother you. It's really nothing." He replied.
"It's about the baby issue right?" I asked him.
"It's been six months after our marriage but still nothing. People are already talking." He said.
"I know that. But six months isn't a big deal. I don't know why this small town has its own weird beliefs." I said in response to my husband.
"I know Peggy. But you also known how these people can be. If it takes any longer for us to get a child then they would look at us as outcasts." My husband explained.
"This town is just so strange in every aspect. I don't know why you insisted we'd move to this place." I said to him.
"What has been done has been done." He replied.
"Well okay. We will try our luck tonight. But is it going to be in your room or in my room?" I asked him.
"In your room of course." He replied.
They want couples to get children as soon as those couples are married but they are against couples sleeping on the same bed at all.
If a man and a woman has sex then the one who had left his or her room for the other would have to return to his or her room.
It's no wonder everyone in this town only has one or two kids and that's all.
"Sure, I guess maybe we would try out for a child tonight but I really don't see why we should make our plans according to what other people belief in and all." I complained to him.
"Yes, I know. I don't like it either but you know we have to. That is, in order not to be the center of attention in this small town where everyone knows everyone." Henry said.
"Okay, if you say so. Bye honey, I'm off now. I wouldn't want to be late to school." I said.
"Have a wonderful day." He replied.
I gave my husband a quick kiss on the cheek and exited the house.
I exited the house and entered my old car.
Starting up the car, I headed for the school which I taught in.
A school which had also turned out to be the only school in this town.
I guess no one wanted to waste their precious money and time on this place at all.
It's also good, seeing that there are not much children in this place.
As I continued to drive along the road, I looked through my window occasionally.
It was a habit of mine for as long as I could remember.
I had always enjoyed looking at the view through my car's window.
Even if this small town looked creepy as the mind can imagine, I couldn't help but continue to look whenever my chance came.
From gar off, I saw a little girl that looked the age of six, standing at the side of the road. Her feet were shielded by the grass which she stood in.
This little girl had her hair all messed up and in her hand was a wooden doll.
I decided within myself that as soon as I get to where she stood I would ask her what was wrong and why she stood there alone.
To my great surprise, the closer I got to her and the more I looked that direction, she seemed nonexistent.
What is this? Am I seeing things or my eyes are...
I rubbed against me eyes just to be sure and when I looked again, this time there was nothing to look at.
The little girl was gone.
I didn't bother to stop my car and go looking for her.There are a lot of strange and supernatural beings that I had heard being spoken of by some old people to the younger ones.What if that girl gets attacked by one of them?But I was more scared of coming out of my car in the middle of nowhere than going to save children.I just continued driving and I arrived at school.When my mind went to what I had seen earlier, I brushed off the thought about the little girl from my mind.I don't want anything that would ruin my mood today at all especially since I'm not the heroic type.After parking my car, I head straight for the school building."Good morning Mrs Susan. How was the weekend for you?" I greeted one of my colleagues as I approached a class."It was wonderful miss Peggy." She replied."Excuse me?" I reacted."Oh. I'm so so sorry. I wa
A smile ran across my face as I saw who it was. My husband had returned from work this early for the first time.Hos job usually took till midnight because of the huge demands he gets from people within and outside this town.He must have left some things unattended to just to be with me for today.He is such a wonderful husband to me.Henry POVMy wife smiled as she opened the door and found me standing in front of her.This is the first time in a long time that I had ever returned home early from work and I could tell she was happy to see me."Welcome home darling!" She exclaims in excitement and throws her arms around me."Ouch!" I exclaim.She had hugged me so suddenly and tightly that I felt air go out of me."Nice to see you too Peggy. I had no idea we haven't seen each other for years now." I said jokingly."I never knew you woul
Peggy POVI don't know why my husband keeps insisting that we go through with this.It's Halloween night for Pete's sake.But then again utterly was my fault.I should have waited till the next day before talking about children with him again.I don't know what had gotten over me and had made me forget.This is unlike me to have forgotten such a thing but then again, no one in town celebrated it.The fact that no one celebrates Halloween here still didn't mean my fear of what we were doing had gone away.Everyone here is strange and creepy.As I and my husband continued with our business, I felt like it wasn't just the two of us anymore.Something in me told me to look around and I did.Immediately, I regretted looking."What is that?!" I yelled."What is what? Stop it Peggy. You know I don't like being pranked like that."
"You need to go and rest now." I said to her."I think I can handle myself just fine Henry." She retorted."Fine. Suite yourself." I replied.I could feel her eyes on me.I know she suspected something was up but she just didn't know what exactly to suspect.Well, she can think whatever she wants to. All I know is that I've had my way with her and it was awesome.I just can't wait to see the results of my doing.I wonder how she would react if she finds out that she is pregnant.That would just be so fun to watch since she wouldn't even know how it happened.I just hope we get a child soon. Hopefully a boy."Why are you smiling so hard?" She asked me."Nothing." I replied, realizing that I had been smiling the entire time."There is something fishy going on here and one day, it will come to the light." She said."I'd
Was I loosing it?! This is definitely happening for real. I just saw something I can definitely not unsee.My hands kept shaking as I tried my best to hold on to the wheel.I looked at the mirror in the car which showed the back seat.As I did so, an image flashed in it.I tried not to pay much attention to it but of course how could I ignore that?I looked at it again and what I saw drowned me in a pool of fear.It was the woman again. She had entered her beast self into the back seat of my car.I screamed my heart out at the sight.I tried to step on the breaks but my legs had no feeling. My legs refused to move and I tried to avoid having an accident even if my attention wasn't there.And this time she wasn't alone.The little girl which I had seen earlier the other day was sitting beside her, stroking the wooden doll she held.Now I had a

'She'(the name of this demon is she) said."This is no fun! I sensed the baby. I sensed a baby I could not eat!" The devourer of children said."You cannot eat the son of Lucifer. He was sent here for a purpose and that purpose must be fulfilled at all costs. Demons will rule earth! Humans make it so easy with all their sins." I said to the children devourer."It is so tempting. Such a baby would give me such unimaginable powers." If only I can get my hands on him." The children devourer said."Then you shall die by the hands of Lucifer." I replied."Since when did Lucifer start caring for anyone most especially his own?" 'She's questioned."He doesn't. He just keeps what is still of use for him to accomplish his goal for
I watched as old Magritte walked to a sofa at the other side of the living room.The sofa was old and sunk down as she sat on it.Old Magritte was a very old woman but had widened eyes which reveals to people that she had obviously not been getting any sleep at all.Her clothes were old and had different miserable marks and holes all over.Her face had wrinkles and her teeth was hardly visible whenever she spoke because of the saggy lips she had.Her hair was made into a ridiculous looking bun and her feet looked like she had'nt visited the bathroom before.I can't even say any different for her house.I observed the house from within and it turned out not to be bad.Yes, the inside wasn't bad. It was actually worse.She hung things from the ceiling that looked like charms. It creeped me out more than the old barn.What does this woman do? Is she so
"What?! But... But..." I said in response.I became speechless after hearing that from old Magritte.Why?! Why me?! Why would Henry sleep with me at that kind of period of time?Why at the midnight of Halloween? Why so?Didn't he know the kind of a place that we live in?! Isn't he aware of all the sayings of the oldies of the town?But then again... Why is anything happening to Henry? Why am I the only one seeing evil things and he sees nothing.How come he wasn't affected by what we both did.I turned, questioningly, to old Magritte."How come my husband isn't being affected by all this?" I asked curiously.It's not like I wanted anything to happen to him but I just needed to know why he wasn't being affected by it all."The one that suffers most is the one carrying the demon child in the womb." Old Magritte replied."So nothing is meant to
