~Folks~
"16 years ago, Iseult's father and I went to Winchester in England to spend few days at his mother's place. She was sick, and you were at the boarding school back then--"
She nodded towards Iseult, who had her left finger intertwined with Devin Snr, who had both hands on his lap. Both seated on a couch, opposite Iseult's mother's.
The woman continued,
"Turned out she wasn't suffering from Cancer, she only had a tumor hiding in her brain, but lucky enough it was removed and she got fine."
She did the usual pause and continued,
"Since there was no hurry for us to go home. Your dad was a priest back then and headed a small church before he was laid off. I never knew Priest were ever laid off."
She chuckled wryly and continued,
"We went hiking since we had few days at hand; we've only spent few days off our weeks. And beside a hill in a dead cold snowing winter

Baby Of The Dead Prologue
October 22, 1412. Wintanceaster."Help me!"Her loud but muffled voice rang through the dark clusters of trees as the nocturnal hood gave back to her what she said. Her light legs not light enough to carry her body in the swiftness her heart craved. Her long sleek hair floating to the rhythm of the wheezing wind crashing against her wild body. Her two years old baby clasped to her breasts with the left hand, the right aiding the race. The constant rustles and slithering and hisses kept coming behind her but she had no idea what was after her nor what she was running away from.She stopped running again, like she had done five minutes earlier. She could feel darkness crawling up her skin. Every movement around her got to her. She heard a sharp sound in the undergrowth beside her. She flinched and fell on her back, gentle sobs wielding."Oh... by heaven!"She muttered.
Baby Of The Dead Chapter 1
Present Day. October 22, 2017. Winchester.A day ago.HOOT HOOTThe constant call of the black owl on the zenith branch of the hickory rang through the substratosphere, lending the whooshing winds some rhythm to play upon.The thickness of the gloom sweeping past the night, leeched off the writhing body of dark clouds in the sky. A cone-like dark cloud drifted by, and shielded the splattered orange silhouette of the moon staking its lofty claim. The lunar moon!Few metres away from the thick, dark forest was an assembly of tombstones, a cemetery. And out of the forest crawled a large winged snake, eyes toned red, towards the cemetery. Slithering cum hissing.The slithering snake seemed to have a motive as its red eyes sent a one metre shade of red light at its front, leading it to the direction it craved. The scaly but sticky body tossing to'n'fro to dark wants of the eyes.Gentle breeze crashed a

October 21, 2017. Winchester.Two days ago."Show is over, fuckers, you can start going now."A plumpy blonde stood over the table of the three middle-aged drinking men. One of them with scanty beards looked up at the woman in disgust, slurring the words,"What in the world is wrong with waitresses of these days. You live off us and yet you think you can be the master of whatever words you deem fit?"The blonde wielding a recent glare scoffed,"Tell you what, asshat, I don't have to answer your dimwitted question. All I know is, when I'm back, you'll wish you were gone. At least look around and see that you're the only miserable lots littering this bar."She scorned as she walked away,"As though they could pay all they debts."The asshat pushed his chair back in rage to make for the woman, staggering, almost losing his stance and falling off. But the plain faced of them with dirty curls

A week Later. A worksite."Just this one last time and I wouldn't pick up your calls, unless it's a call for your funeral."The last of the men shot at the scanty bearded. It's been over a week now and work had brought them together again."But you'll answer the call won't you? The call of a corpse?"The scanty bearded laughed to his own joke, fixing the long iron pipe in the wall. The person he was addressing was behind the other wall."Why me? I bet you had no guts to call Jacob. It's been all mouth, hasn't it?"He teased the scanty bearded, who pushed the pipe deliberately and almost pierced the chest of the fellow with the edge."Lucky you. I should gut your throat. Jacob holds no place around me anymore. That coward."The other fellow was quick to toss the odds behind as they moved to the other hole in the wall, few steps ahead. They only had three more to go."What

The Next Day. Jacob's."I'm on my way, now."Iseult, Jacob's wife, the lady from the day of the truck accident, and a door-to-door nurse said over the phone, picking up her purse. Unlike the other night, the parlour was tidy and things in place. She live in a fairly new bungalow they recently saved their asses off to buy."Jacob isn't home. He should be back anytime from now. I should talk to you when I get there, I think he's hiding something from me. I can feel it. And now he wants me out of his house. I'm staying here at the detriment of my life. Today's the last he gave me to stay."She hurried towards the door still over the phone.The voice over the phone came,"For how long will you take his abuse? Come stay with me till you save up for rent or stuff. Andrew won't mind.""I love him, Kate. I do wish to run away, I should had. But he needs help. Everyone runs away from

Detroit. Michigan. A Highschool.~History Class~"What happens when you come to the realization of a disturbing fact you've never thought possible. Things you only see in the movies."The substitute history teacher started. The tempo of his voice at the average, his eyes picking one student to drop on another. His beards scanty, full moustache, child's face but stern stare."Like our substitute teacher walking on his head?"One of the male students made a joke and the rest of the class laughed. He seemed popular enough to weigh the interest of all.The substitute teacher smiled too and added,"Or a two faced man like Edward Mordrake.""Gross!"A blonde ughed. She looked 16 like several other 11th grade students in the classroom."But not for Evelyn."The troublemaker called again, looking in the direction of a shy nerdy girl seated at the extreme end of the class

Jacob's Bungalow.~Iseult~"How are you holding up?"Devin asked, staring at her across the room. She was seated opposite him on another sofa. He had come to pay a visit to her. He was just a neighbor next door. A neighbor who was always indoor with an unknown identity. But what he didn't hide was his admiration for Iseult, and she knew that too.He had learnt to keep his distance from her when Jacob was alive, but now that he's dead, he probably would shoot his shot. But not today. Not four days after the horrific death of her husband. All he could do was sit with her there and help her through the grief. And that was what he was doing at the moment.He was 6"1, broad shoulders, great proportion, firm, handsome, manly face. Well kept beards, not full, not too low, but low; a complement of his full lips.She sighed looking up at him. Her fingers had been her play toy ever since he arrived.&

Two days later. A Cathedral.~Father Beocca~"And so does time go by and by, yet those who had been liquefied by lust and flesh finds their paths no more. All they do is fill in the empty barrel till it's overflowing. And when it overflows continuously, it becomes a rill of sin. Just a gaunt path of desires. Yet, if the sinner persists in this sin, the rill becomes a lake, then a river, then an ocean. In which the poor lost soul drowns."Father Beocca took a pause. He was the priest in charge of the only Catholic in the area. The St. Agnus, Memorial Cathedral. Three miles away from Iseult's place.He was dressed in a long black robe with a white collar fixed into the two openings of the robe at the neck region. He has a smooth face, young, 5"8.His eyes were keen on the thick young lady, who's dressed in a red skimpy gown which canvassed the swell of her hips, her fresh thighs and fair cleavages. Her busts handful.

Courtday.~Facts' Battle~"Since the police lacks skills and expertise to apprehend the person behind the serial killing and they wanted to arrive at an answer. They decided to manipulate a baby who can't fight for itself. This is the first ever proof that the police department mostly charge wrong people for wrong cases when they can't lay their hands on the real culprit. This is quite a proof.""Objection my Lord."The Attorney for the Police department called at the Judge, his face sizzling with recent rage. He was 6"2, Caucasian, brown cap-like hair with wavy front."Sustained."The Judge nodded and he stood up. He started, paying more of his attention to the Judge than the Asian prosecutor who had brilliantly manipulated the point."I won't speak out of turn, her grace. But I'll implore this house to guide the Prosecuting attorney to choosing his words carefully. Truth be told,

But it seemed like the head seems like its favorite part of the body?"He paused to think for a while at the possibility of sense in what he had just said. But Evelyn derailed,"Could we stop calling that monster a baby already?"Iseult shot her a quick glance and looked away. There was little she could do at that moment.Since Iseult hardly had a thing to say to that, Evelyn had a shot to keep abreast her point,"I have a thought."She paused, thinking of a possible way to direct the words to accurately justify her intention. As soon as she got a grip on it and the unalloyed attention of the other three, she continued."How about if this babies are fooling us? Initi

Same.~Terror~"Hell. For a moment I thought my heart will jump out of my chest or through my lungs."Mr Morgan laughed, holding the baby in his hands as he made it sit on the table, facing him."Mr Morgan, hand the baby over here. It's not just any kind of baby."Devin Snr urged as he moved closer to Mr Morgan, who kept breaking eye contact with the baby, as he looked away from the baby to Devin Snr occasionally."Don't be silly, man. This must be one of the babies of one of the female staff. The baby must be looking for its mom."Mr Morgan maintained his argument as he looked away from Devin Snr again, holding the baby's balance on the edge of the table. He looked back at cooing baby but Devin Jrn came on,"Come to think of it, Uncle. Was this baby here when we came in?"Mr Morgan shook his head,"I don't think so, but that's not the point."Devin Jnr continued

Detroit. Crime Scene.~The four~"Will you two stay in the --""No, thank you."Both Evelyn and Iseult had cut Devin Snr short of the clumsy offer. Evelyn was the first to get the door before the rest. Devin Snr smiled softly at her reaction and nodded at Devin Jnr who was beside him. They stepped out too."Please let's us... uhmm, think of the best way to approach this. I'll go inside the building and have a small talk if possible to figure out if it was the same process. None of you should make an attempt of coming... are we clear?"He nodded in question. While Iseult gave her regular indifferent reaction, Evelyn grudgingly seconded. Devin Jnr hardly took note of the said. His face was glued to the reporters who were clicking constantly at the flagged front of the house.Devin Snr's car Maybach was parked few metres away from the building, across the road."So, you mean we're

Sheriff's Office.~The Sheriff and the Devins~"Well, it all started as a bit of a convo, before it derails into ermm... an argument. And then it heated till it went out of hand."The Sheriff paused for a while. His face was an epitome of the multitudinous emotions he could not find words for. He leaned forward in the chair, thrusting his frame forward like he would offer his body like a burnt offering to the two Devins. He further expatiated, like a priest would break the bread for blessed communion."Okay. It went... Hey, Sheriff, information got to us about some baby locked away here. At first we dismissed it almost immediately because that was more than ridiculous. But then, the news kept building, so we had no choice but to come check out."The Sheriff, having pretended to be one of the GCA's officials switched to his part,"Well, gentlemen and women. I can't say you heard wrongly. But not all the inform

On the way.~The four~"Okay, let's get all our points clear."Devin Snr started. He was yet the one driving. Devin Jnr was seated beside him, Iseult and Evelyn at the back seat.Amongst all the positive things happening at the moment was the calm atmosphere. Twas rather different from the tense and worked up like the previous day's."There are two babies."He looked through the rearview mirror after those words at the sisters. What was he expecting? Probably they were going to add to what he had said?He continued when he got no precise reaction,"One is in the care of the Sheriff back in Winchester. The other is on a run, catching the cruise of a serial killer.""Baby on the run?"Devin Jnr teased, but nobody fleshed the joke. Devin Snr looked back at the sisters again. At the moment, Evelyn had her head on the right shoulder of Iseult. Quite a remote wonder you'd thi

On the way.~The four~"That was stupid."That was the first group of words to be spoken after ten minutes of silence since they'd been in the car. And twas Devin's words and car. Devin, the elder.The cops had taken the baby from them since it's now a threat to the citizens. And has been isolated, monitored by shifts of Police officers. Though each police officer monitoring was sure not to stare at the baby for long. They only take a glance and look away top quickly.Iseult was almost locked away for harboring such threat in her house but Devin, the elder had pleaded with the Sheriff to let her off the hook, claiming that there were a lot of things tied to the events.He had promised the Sheriff to get to the root of it all, but all he could do at that moment was scold Iseult with words."What did you say?"Iseult turned to him. She was seated next to him at the front. D

At the Police Station.~The four~"Please point us to the Sheriff please."Devin, the elder called as he led the three into the police station, the baby in his arms, the side of its face pressed to his chest."He's not on seat. How can I help you?"The Deputy sheriff with the name tag, Floyd Marvin said, standing at the door of the sheriff's office."We'd love to address this to the Sheriff directly. This is quite a delicate matter."Marvin's eyes strayed from the baby in Devin's chest to Iseult and Evelyn. As soon as he restored his gaze on Devin, the elder, he asked,"I don't think we have the time for this. The sheriff is busy with the case of the hideous deaths.""What do you mean by this?"Evelyn attacked and Marvin laughed,"Of course family matter. The state is on cautious turn now. The last thing we want is a family matter here."Evel
