more special than any other son
your father has sired? Where are they now?”
“The first
three tried to kill my father when they heard what he did to their sister, so
he had no choice but to kill them – slashed their throats. His wife soon died
after seeing her daughter about town on the arm of this man , dead in the
eyes with no joy. She hanged herself.”
“Like your
mother,” she stated, feeling numb.
“Yes. He
married again and had three girls of which Jack came and possessed. He didn’t
have a son again until around 1920. On his twenty-first birthday, he brought a
date, his long-time girlfriend, Bessie York, knowing what would happen to her.
She had no idea.
“After their
first dance, he ushered her up to the altar and shook hands with the man who
then morphed into the beast he really is. She screamed and begged for Leon to
save her.
“He ran up
there and tried to grab her, but Jack scorched him to ashes right on the spot,
before he could get his full power an hour later.”
“Did you say
Leon?”
“Yes, why?”
“Just continue.
What happened to Bessie?”
“He had his way
with her in front of everyone cheering and clapping, his anatomy tearing her
apart that she had to be sewn back up by the town doctor right then or she
would have bled to death.
“He then sprouted
wings and flew off with her into the night, and the crowd continued dancing and
laughing the night away,” he added with disgust. “It’s all written in a journal
at the library.”
“What did she
look like?”
“She had short
blonde hair, very small. Why?”
“I think I
dreamed of her or saw something. She was running through a forest in a
nightgown, but that couldn’t have been her,” she shook her head. “She asked me
where Leon was,” she added.
He looked her
in the eye and said, “It was, but not the way you think it was. It was her
tortured soul that is kept imprisoned there for eternity. She wants to find
Leon and get away from the man...from Jack.”
Daisy wiped
another tear away and closed her eyes to pray for that soul. Then she had a
thought. “Why is this different with me? I’m confused.”
“The difference
is you were promised to me after he has his way with you, to get you pregnant,
so that we can raise his child together. My father asked that of him, and he
granted it,” he sighed.
“Oh, my God.
I’m gonna be sick.”
“I’m so sorry,
honey. I hate this so much. This was why I didn’t want to care for you, but,
damn it, you made me, and now what?" He ran his hands through his hair and
tried to think. “I’m getting you out of here before this ever happens,” he
insisted.
“But they’ll
find me! What about their power? Your power?” she whispered.
He thought
about it. “I’ll tell my father you’re not a virgin. Jack only wants a virgin.
He’ll be angry but will get over it,” he said. “There’s other virgins he can
have.”
She shook her
head. “I’m not a virgin, Christian.”
He stared at
her in shock. “What?”
“That’s the
reason I came out here, at least I thought, because of what happened to me at
home,” she said, wiping another tear away. “I was raped in my room, Christian.
My father just thought there was a burglary scare while he was out, but it was
much more,” she paused, remembering the day clearly. “When the guy with the
black ski mask came into my room where I was sleeping, he raped me,” she said,
now wiping away the tears that lived in her heart for all that time.
Christian
grabbed her and held her, staring off into the trees.
***
Across the
city, on the North side of Chicago, a white-haired priest sat up in his bed,
frantic. He produced an old picture of a woman with her baby girl. He silently
said a prayer and lay back down, holding the frayed picture next to his heart,
fear residing there.
