Hi to all of the Malachi/Ruth fans of Children of the Corn! This is my first COTC story so I'm really excited, hope you enjoy!
P.S. the character Rachel is a made up character, not from the movie.
"Malachi?!" Ruth's breathe was taken away. She was standing at the edge of the field. The sun was shining bright and sky was a perfect blue without a single cloud. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. But how could this be, Malachi, her deceased lover, standing right in front of her.
"Hello Ruth." Malachi's strong willed voice spoke out to her.
"Why-how are you..." Ruth trailed off.
"Shhhh All that matters is that I'm here now." Malachi said. Ruth smiled up at him, since he was a good almost whole foot taller than her.
"Oh Malachi, I've missed you so much." Ruth confessed.
"I've missed you too Ruth. And now, we can be together as a family." Malachi said. He held out his hand and Ruth took it, placing her other hand on her swollen stomach that was currently holding Malachi's baby. Just as every thing seemed to be perfect, darkness struck over the sky. Ruth was very confused. She looked to Malachi and gasped as she saw that he wore an evil grin on his face. Malachi suddenly had sharp claws and dug his claws into Ruth's stomach.
"Malachi." Ruth squeaked, blood coming from her stomach and pain shooting everywhere.
"Malachi's gone!" I deep evil voice called from Malachi's body.
Ruth jolted out of her sleep. Sitting up in her bed, her breathe was shaky. She sucked in big gulps of air. She wiped her forehead, realizing there was sweat on it. She bowed her head as the tears started to come from her eyes. Another bad dream. This had been the fourth bad dream in a row, and Ruth couldn't take it. But why was she having these bad dreams? Malachi had died almost 4 years ago. She shook her head, trying not to think of that. She just couldn't, or she would break down.
Ruth got out of bed, and began dressing for the day. Once she was done dressing, she walked out of her room and into the hallway.
"Morning Ruth." My best friend, Rachel said, walking beside me.
"Morning Rachel."
"So, could I attend to watch the little ones later with you?"
"Of course, be my guest." I said smiling. We walked into the kitchen and started making the breakfast.
It was later in the day, about three o'clock from the sun, and Rachel and I walked over into the children's ward.
"Hi Ruth, hi Rachel." All the little children playfully shouted.
"Hello children." Rachel said smiling. A little girl grabbed Rachel's hand and led her over to some toys.
"Mama!" I heard. I turned.
"Hi baby!" I said, kneeling down. I picked up my wonderful 3 year old son, twirling him around. He giggled and smiling brightly.
"How have you been Joseph?" I asked, putting him on my hip. As he started talking about how his day was going, I looked at him. He was basically and exact replica of his father. Deep brown eyes, beautiful pale skin, and long red hair. Everything I adored about him, and his father.
"Well that's great sweetie." I said, smiling, after Joseph was done talking. I put him down and he ran off to play with the other little children.
I walked outside for a moment, looking over at the corn. The breeze was coming over the town of Gatlin, making the corn sway in the wind.
"I love you Malachi." I murmured to the corn. The corn started to sway more rapidly, and I knew Malachi was walking with He Who Walks Behind the Rows, watching over us all...
