Chapter five

"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 like to see you try." I replied. 

"I knew it! You are hiding something." She said in a slightly childish tone. 

I laughed at her outburst and dished out the food.  

"I'll find out sooner or later." She said and followed me into the living room as I carried the food. 

"Let's eat up." I said, trying to avoid the topic. 

"You win this time but not for long." She said and started eating. 

After we were done eating, we prepared ourselves to go to our various jobs and start working. 

Once I was done I waited for her to finish up what she was doing. 

We both exited the house after she came out of the room. 

I picked up my spare keys and put them in my pocket. 

She locked the door and we kissed each other and parted to work. 

Peggy POV

My husband boarded his vehicle and I boarded mine. 

I drove off on my way to school after he left for his spots of lumbering. 

The same long and covered up road to school. The road wasn't even covered. 

It was all dried grass and dust. 

Even the trees and bushes grew no leaves. No wonder majority of people who heard about this place dis their best to avoid being in a situation of having to live in it. 

And those who came for tours would only use this town as a topic of terror and always said it had connections with souls of the dead. 

Not just the dead but the tortured as well. 

They would always say: 'legend has it that there were women who were tortured by evil spirits and demons and forced into sexual intercourse with them. 

And that other spirits would push her into fear in the process and watch closely as the other demon had her. 

At the end, such women would die after child birth and the children would walk upon the face of the earth as half human demons. 

As for the souls of the women, they remained bound to the town and never laid to rest.'

All this stuff was actually confirmed by the old people here to be true.  

And sometimes I just can't help but to also believe in what the tourists and old ones say. 

After all, this place doesn't look like it's a natural beauty on its own. 

While I got lost in thought, I saw there was a woman sitting right in the middle of the road. 

My car wheels screeched as I brought my car to an abrupt stop. 

I had almost ran someone over because of my stupid imaginations. 

I drove backwards and stopped at a small distance. 

Then I got down from my car and started walking closer to the woman who had her face to the floor. 

I noticed the weather changing as I walked on. 

The wind blew harder and colder. 

What seemed to be a sunny day so on turned cold as if about to rain cats and dogs. 

The closer I got to the woman, the more goosebumps I had. 

Something didn't feel right but I had to get this woman to move out of the road. 

Who knows? She might be attempting suicide right now. 

People here are just crazy. 

I reached were she sat and bent over to her a bit. 

"Excuse me madam." I said. 

She turned her face to me and I was amazed at her beauty. 

I hair flowed so softly with the wind and she had deep blue eyes. 

And her lips were definitely naturally red. This was indeed a rear beauty. 

"I'm sorry to bother you but I just had to ask. Why are you sitting right in the middle of the road?" I questioned. 

"She said on should wait here. She always said I should wait for the next here." The woman responded. 

"Who said you should wait here? And what are you waiting for?" I asked her. 

"Not what but who. I am waiting for Lucifer's chosen one." The woman replied. 

Her reply sent shivers down my spine. 

What is she doing with a person called Lucifer? 

And why is her face not showing any sort of hint of emotions while she spoke? 

"She is coming." The woman said. 

"I feel her presence." She added. 

"Who's presence?" I asked her. 

"The powerful one. The enemy of Lucifer. The destroyer of all chosen." The woman replied. 

The beautiful face I had seen at first changed into a creepy smile. 

My heart skipped a beat as she started to cry blood. 

"She is here!" The woman screamed. 

But this scream was different. It sounded like there were many people talking at exactly the same time. 

I looked around to see if anyone was there trying to pull a fast one on me but there wasn't. 

This was real and happening right in front of my eyes. 

She looked at my and with fear being the only thing I felt I stood there frozen. 

What's going on? 

The woman seemed to be shape shifting. Her long her fell off revealing a bald head with worms and holes all over. 

Her eyes turned blood red and skin turned wrinkled. 

I summoned up courage and I was finally able to push myself into running. 

I screamed as loud as I could hoping that someone would help me as I reached my car and tried to start it. 

"Wait! Feed me the baby! You don't know what you're doing!" She screamed out in many voices. 

My hand and were shaking badly and by the time I had managed to get the key inside, she was standing at my car door and banging on it. 

Three glass was already showing cracks and my heart kept beating faster. 

I finally started to drive off and through the side mirror, I saw her melt into the floor.
