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.
The lady's face down, occasionally looking up at the father. She had nodded her head after the epistle. But the father seemed to have more to say.
"You cannot be saved by your own self, my daughter. You should seek the Lord with all your heart. Fasten unto him and let him be the strength that which you leech off. For he never complains."
The lady nodded again.
"Yes father. That was what I came to do. To confess my sin before the Lord and seek an amendment of my ways. I'm tired of robbing my fellow women of the happiness of their marriages. Even though it's not my fault but the covetousness of their husbands."
The priest trailed the end of the gown to the fall of her thighs. When he had gotten enough, he stood tall,
"And that's what the Lord will lead us to do. He is merciful and just. Unlike we mortals."
He stood up suddenly,
"Come with me, daughter. Into the holy of the holiest and confess your sin before the Lord."
She stood up with no words, picking up her bags in both her hands, clutched to the fall of her gown.
She followed the priest in the direction of the beautifully adorned altar, but took a stray turn to towards a curtained wall. As he pulled the curtain, a door appeared. He got the door and stepped in.
Twas largely an empty room with a long red carpet. There were two chairs to the far end of the room and at the same level opposite the chairs was a large drawer with a huge mirror in it.
"But before we make this confession before the Lord."
Father Beocca turned in the direction of the lady who had just stepped in.
"The Lord wants me to feel what desires and pleasure you give to men with this blessed body of yours. Just like he had urged Hosea to marry whores that he (Hosea) could feel such agony he feels whenever Israel commits sin by serving another God, aside YHWH."
"What are you doing father?"
The lady walked to the nearest wall, as the priest advanced.
"To give you this pleasure one more time before you are rid of it. So, you can feel how merciful he is."
She couldn't move any longer. Her back pressed to the wall as her bag dropped. The priest leaned forward on her, breathing heavily, washing her face in sequence of breaths.
"I don't think this is a good idea, Father. You should be helping me stop this and not waking up the beast in me."
He chuckled softly and nuzzled her neck, pressing his lips sharply in the curve of her neck.
"Do not strive daughter. Give in to this temptation one more time. Look at King David. He gave in to the temptation and ate of the Holy bread and drank the wine of God, yet he lived. And he wouldn't even stop there, he stole a man's wife and sent the man to die."
He paused in gentle whispers, moving to the other neck as she moved rhythmically to his touch.
"Yet, God would not kill him, but warned him. As he would both of us now. Be still and be of good faith, daughter, for the Lord finds a delight in you. And not everyone gets this grace."
He looked up at her and kissed her warmly, smacking his lips against hers. Then went roughly, the warmth of his body sending shivers down her spines as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
He struggled for her to let go of his neck as he pushed back and buried his face in her cleavages, mumbling into the titties,
"The work of my father. The beautiful work of my father."
He raised his head, laughing weirdly. He grabbed the titties with both hands, doing a rough squeeze as she threw her head up in response, moaning softly.
He went down slowly and tenderly on her, till he was squatting. He looked up at her then plunged his face through the space between her thighs, hardly pulling up the stretchy gown.
Since she was without panties, he plunged his mouth into her mini moo and began hunting for pleasure.
"My father, my father."
He mumbled as the lady moaned continuously. Holding his head tightly and pressing it to her thighs, as her laps paved further.
"The chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof."
He added. Suddenly he heard the coo and giggle from behind him.
He dismissed the sound, sliding his hands up her up to grab her titties again as his face remained buried in her thighs; she had pulled up her gown.
Then the coo and giggle came again. He couldn't ignore now,
"You moan like a baby, daughter?"
"Don't stop father."
The lady looked down at him as he smiled and buried his face in again. But as she looked up gradually in pleasure, to resume the former position; head thrown to the ceiling. She saw a giggling baby few steps away, behind the priest.
"Father..."
She called, but he responded,
"Say daddy."
"Father... look!"
She closed her thighs in his face, slapping him with the soft flesh. He looked up at that,
"The ocean is not dried it yet. It must be sucked dry that you don't drown in it."
"Behind you father. A baby. Do you have a baby, father?"
"What baby?"
As he made to turn to his back, he felt a weight on him suddenly, like something leapt on his back; since he was squatting.
"What's this?"
He tried to turn, but the baby held strongly unto his neck with such great strength not even typical of a 35 years old adult.
His movement was too slow for the determined baby as his neck broke from a fierce twist. Though his frame was facing forward, his neck was to the back. Lifeless.
The lady flinched, falling away as she watched a snake crawl out of the mouth the baby, broke into the father's mandible, crawled up into his mouth, released venom, broke into the roof of his mouth then broke the cartilages of the nose, leaving dead all the cells in the father's brain, including all the information and prophecies of Hosea.
The priest's eyes darkened all of a sudden and in a twitch of an eye, his heard bursted open... eyes popped out, teeth flew in several directions and some of his liquid waste splattered on the lady. Who lost it and ran out screaming on top of her voice.
The baby climbed down from the father. It cooed and giggled. And then was nowhere to be found...
Few minutes later, the blaring sirens of the cops were heard outside the cathedral. Twas just five minutes to evening mass.
Jacob's. Next Day. Saturday.~Evelyn~"History of the past."She muttered, under her breath as she opened the laptop. The laptop she had made her parents pay for at all cost. Twas just a day into living with her sister and there hadn't been any cause of alarm. Aside last night when the both of them had to fight over who should prepare the meal and wash the dishes, immediately after the Devin had left. It went like this.******************"Mom and Dad sent you here to take care of me and make me strong and not suck the remaining strength out of me."Evelyn had scoffed, stepping forward,"I'm the guest here. Do you have an idea what I left hanging back at home while coming to this place? You should treat me like as guest at least for the first day, then if I wish, I could help out later. By the way, before now, weren't you Jacob's maid?"Iseult's eyes had widened,
Getting Home. ~Iseult and Evelyn~ "Where did you see a baby?" Evelyn barked at her sister, Iseult, as soon the latter stepped into the house. Twas 8:45 PM. Iseult had stopped quickly at the kid stores to get a pair of clothes for the closely naked baby. Since she discovered that she was a girl, she'd bought a small gown for the infant. Iseult stepped into the sitting room, striding towards the sofa, the baby clutched to her breasts, her left arm pushing the baby's bum up. "Have you eaten?" She tried to dismiss the question. But Evelyn wouldn't take the bait, "Don't give me that bullshit, Iseult. Where did you see a baby. Did you give birth to any child when Shit-cob was alive? Why didn't you tell any of us, not even mom or dad know about it." Iseult went to sit on the one-seater sofa, but Evelyn strutted towards her and stood at her front, in akimbo. "I don't have the
The Next Morning."I had a dream."Evelyn said, walking down the stairs as Devin hurried after her."Evelyn wait."He called but she wasn't going to. Immediately she caught a sight of her suitcase, she went for it and picked it up. She hurried towards the door, opened it and strode out."At lease tell me what this dream is all about. You can't just wake up in the morning, bathe and just take off. Where are you going to?"He was standing at her front. She threw her face away in indifference. She spoke,"I'm going home. There's no point staying here any longer. Plus it's a Sunday. I have to go to school tomorrow."Devin nodded his head and moved closer to her."Those are all reasonable. You should go home of course. But you can't expect me to send you off just after you said you had a dream. And come to think of it, I know you have every reason to be mad at your sis
The Next Morning.~Evelyn~"Huh?"She turned in bed. It seemed like she was hearing a continuous noise in her subconsciousness. She turned again, covering her face in the duvet. But the noise and muffled sound in her head kept getting louder and louder.She succumbed to the urge and opened her eyes. Then did she realize that the noise wasn't in her subconsciousness but real. In fact it was coming right outside her room. In the house."What's that noise?"She sat up suddenly."Did they turned up the volume of the TV that loud?"She grunted but then listened closely. It seemed to be more than that. She could be sure."Isn't that mom's voice?"She rolled down the bed and hurried to the door without wearing flip-flops. She pressed her left ear to the door,"Why is she shouting that loudly?"She complained? She recalled what had happened yesterday. They
Later the day.~Devin, the elder~"Please answer your phone. Please Iseult."Devin, the elder dialed the number of Iseult as the recent one was screened. As he put the phone to his left ear, his right hand was waving down a taxi.",Drive downtown. I'll wave you stop when I get there."He looked up quickly from the phone at the backseat at the driver of the taxi who drove off immediately."And please drive as quickly as you could. It's very urgent."He added as the driver increased the velocity. He looked back to his phone. Since all his calls were screened. He resolved for the better option.He sent a text,WHERE DID YOU KEEP YOUR PHONE, BABE? GO HOME RIGHT NOW AND HIDE THE BABY. JUST DO AS I SAID, WE'LL TALK WHEN I GET THERE. LET'S HOPE WE'RE THAT LUCKY. ON MY WAY.And after he pushed the send icon and the message was delivered, the taxi suddenly pulled ov
Same.~The Four~"My mom called me. She was worried about me and told me about the case to scare me to come back home. And she warned that whatever baby I see, no matter how cute, I shouldn't stare right into its face."They all stared at Devin, the younger, as though he was some priest from the Common Era. Evelyn was yet standing at the back of the large sofa, Devin, the elder, seated on the single sofa. Iseult standing in the middle of the set sofa with the baby in her hand. The baby whose slit throat had healed up immediately, but leaving a scar at where the impact was registered. The baby had cooed to sleep.Devin, the elder, said,"If what you said is right. Then, it means that we have two strange babies. And while one is obviously dangerous, the other is considerably harmful."Iseult took her turn, the baby gently clasped to her breast,"Does that mean that the baby who killed Jacob, the priest a
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
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
