opened.

A filthy smell was all over the place, Edith felt the need to puke.

A strange looking lady welcomed Edith and took a seat close to a fireplace giving her back as if she did not want any eye contact with her.

In exchange for answering one question Edith must not ask about anything she sees or witness from the wise lady since she has little knowledge about the matter. Otherwise, she will be sacrificed.

Edith agreed willingly.

“Wise lady without a task, about this village I must ask “said Edith.

Wise lady nodded her head and after a few moments of silence she began.

“Once upon a time, it was a rich and glorious village. Years passed the village sank in poverty and famine. Gods abandoned us, our prayers not to be answered. Hundreds of people died.

Our one and only hope was a woman who lived far away from the village.

Rumor has it she possessed a strange power; no ordinary human can have which was the reason she was banished years ago from the village for practice of “black magic””.

The lady stopped briefly.

A black dog appeared out of nowhere. The lady cried in happiness knelt on her feet for the dog, taking it closer and started kissing him with lust and making out with the dog.

Edith asked nothing about it.

After they finished the wise lady continued.

“The lady of the woods would answer our prayers and have mercy on our children, but first we must fulfil the rituals” said the witch.

For Sacred rituals to take effect incent and pure blood must be sacrificed.

Children recite the ritual lullaby by heart. Parent where to send their children to the forest singing and following the yellow bells hanged on the trees which will direct them to the right direction to the lady of the woods.

 

Our children can die no longer from hunger and sickness, the Lady of the woods will take better care of them, and parents will be relived from the burden.

Children who sent to the forest were never to be seen again.

Family’s where happy and relieved nothing more to think about for their children. Yet people continued dying of hunger and sickness.

Only for the witch to be blamed, for laying and treason. She was burnt alive.

Her last words were the exact lyrics of the ritual song.”

 

Wise lady stopped and stood up walking toward the cradle picking up an infant kissing him goodnight and threw him in the fireplace. Hearing a horse footstep.

 

Edith asked nothing about it.

 

The wise lady continued:

“You must have crossed the temple of angels on your way here”

 

“Yes lady” Edith replied.

 

“They are the two angles whom god sent thousands of years ago to Babylon,

They taught human the power of magic, only those who asked for it”.

 

“a white-clothed children are called children of light, they were to perform the sacred rituals, either soul or flesh to be sacrificed”.

 

“We are all children of the devil”.

 

Getting so close as she can, she saw that the wise lady was half human half animal.

Edith asked nothing about it.

 

“Are you scared of death girl?”

 

“Yes, I think so” Edith replied.

 

“What a wonder, humans experience death every day, they need it to live, death is always the answer.”

 

“Wise girl and smart, it’s time we part” said the wise lady.

The Forest

Following the bell ring reaching the forest at last.

It was the ring of these bells she heard all along, thinking sadly it was her cat.

Edith stopped for a moment thinking what would be the fate that awaits her, is it the end or the beginning of the end.

“Join us” children whispered from the woods repeatedly.

She can hear the children singing while she is following the path of the bell-hanged trees.

She saw the children all around her increasing in number, some are happy others are crying.

Walking deep the forest, darkness and fog filled the air, children voices turned into monstrous one , they kept singing and singing.

Edith kept walking, it felt almost a whole day have passed, she was so hungry and thirsty, but kept going.

Walking into the unknown she has been lost in these woods it seemed like a never-ending maze.

They turned to dark shadows she can’t see them as a children anymore.

A huge pentagram was there on the floor, where a child was lying, children of light were to carry the sacred rituals. It is a sacrifice for the devil.

She can hear the demons whisper with joy, children’s soul was to be sacrificed.

The sacrificed child was vanished, leaving no trace left behind.

All eyes on her, now it must be her time, so scared and trembling.

She tried running away but, alas there seemed no way out.

 She kept getting back to where she has started.

It’s a circle, a never-ending cycle.

The end

 

Edith felt so desperate, it felt out of her control, she remembered the down times on her life, when she was screaming for help from the inside, screaming and dying.

“No one will feel what you feel, nobody really does, they just pretend”.

“You were born alone; and die alone”.

I’m tired, so tired…

Living is tiring …

Life is tiring…

I can’t take it anymore

I can’t breathe…

Why I am a crying …

I just want it to stop

Please

Just stop…”.

Edith cried so deeply closing her eyes, she can finally sleep deeply in silence as she was in her mother’s womb.

 

 

I just want to rest …

                                                      forever…”.
