Crimson saviour returns

Prologue

Edith Cushing-Sharpe

…..My great grandmother

Held a great burden in her heart they told me but….she always smiled brightly throughout her life despite the hardships and would help the needy no matter what.

Who told me this? Well my father did before he died and so did his father before passing the torch over to the next generation of the so called "cursed" Cushing-Sharpe family.

He told me at my 16th birthday a story that sounded so un believable that I thought he was making fun of me.

My great grandmother who married a man who at first was manipulated by his psycho sister to get the Cushing fortune. He fell in love with edith which would ultimately cause his sister to snap and kill him. …..Lucille Sharpe from what I heard was a total nut case in my opinion. She was killed by Cushing after seeing her brother in his ghostly form staring at her with sadness. The look on his face told her that the game was up. She was quickly taken down.

Edith decided to start a boarding school and was a beacon of light for the children who may have been put to work houses without her. Before the school was made she gave birth to a beautiful son named William in a stormy night which was the spark to string of events that would change the family forever.

Thomas never left them…He was watching over her and her son from the moment he was born….Well that's what my father said. I've always believed in ghosts , Souls bound to live eternity and unable or refuse to move on. Some bound by love which was Thomas's case as well a overwhelming desire to protect his kin and adopted kin from any evil that may threaten them.

Sad as it may seem to live that existence but it sounded noble in my opinion. Rumours spread of a blind ghost watching over the children and relatives of the Cushing Sharpe family .Of coarse Edith's kindness came to a point at which she adopted a girl. The girls name was Fiona and her ugly past quickly came up to bite both Edith and Her. The infamous gang that had owned her tried to take her back and I-shit-you-not Tried to rape and traumatise the poor little soul.

That is when they said that Thomas made his monstrous appearance and saved both edith and his new daughter life and sent those (forgive my French) Assholes to VIP trip to hell.

From what my dad and grand dad told me was that the rumours calling him a devil and a demon were not true. They were made by the bible bashing community and Priests that believed he should be banished.

On occasions Thomas would take care of William, Fiona and the other children. Things were looking nice and ok.

That was when everything went awry for my family. The head of the gang kidnapped my now grandfather who was only a little boy to a barn and set the place on fire. Thomas enraged appeared to the barn to save William. Little did he know that the cost of killing so many gang members would take a toll on Thomas forever. Even my grandfather saw a change in him. He changed from a ghost to a creature of pure shadow no longer bound by night . My father insisted as William insisted that Thomas was still himself but different. He did finish off the gang leader and save William. But feeling the weight of his sin hid himself in the basement with William in shame for what he done. He thought he was a monster now but William still accepted him as his father and so did edith and Fiona despite his monstrous form. They stayed with him till he was able to regain his human like form and leave the basement.

Things again started to look happy and hopeful but alas there is one last sick final twist my father told me which I found really hard to believe but who knew that it would affect me hugely in the future.

It happened on a new term of school. An ignorant, cruel priest with knowledge of the sealing away spirits came and confronted Edith to a point which lead her to tears. He threatened her that if she does not surrender the demon that he will forever curse Edith family and School to ruin.

Seeing that his family was being pushed to the brink. Thomas gave himself up. Edith pleaded to Thomas not to do it but the priest smiling maliciously already started the sealing process. My father told me when William told him that, he was crying profusely recalling it. The scene that he sadly recalled was Thomas hugging everyone in the family goodbye. He kisses Edith in the lips vowing that no matter how long it will take even if she is long passed on that he will protect his future children when he breaks out no matter what.

Then he disappeared as the sealing process was finished. All that remained in his place was a beautiful locket which Edith vowed to keep regardless of the priest mocking and demanding jabs at Thomas and her.

Later on That Bastard (I do believed deserves to be called that ) got what was coming for him as he was kicked out of the church after overwhelming claims from the village and church that he sealed away someone noble and innocent plus using dark arts in the process. He later died short after that.

I thought it was a fictional tale my dad and grandad had made to scare or woo me. That thought got quickly thrown to the wolves when my father gave me a present which contained a old but beautiful locket.

My father told me that this is the very locket that contained Thomas. He also told me that he tried to open it but failed epically doing it.

He said it was mine now as this was his birthday gift to me. It was a beautiful locket with a big red diamonded crucifix on it with a glass intricate and swirls around the metal. It looked amazing.

I hugged my dad for a lovely present without realising it would be my last time hugging him again.

Shortly after the party my parents went for a car trip to get groceries and never came back.

They said it was a drunk and high driver who bypassed a red light and ploughed through them at high speed like tinfoil.

My parent's bodies were in such a state that I could not see or hug them good bye at the funeral.

My family left a will that the house will be given to me if anything happened to them.

They knew that I was good looking after myself with the big sum of inheritance that was given to me. I was very good with money.

The only thing I had left of my dad and mom was the locket that had an unnatural coldness but I could tell there was no badness behind it.

Who knew that this Locket and story that was passed on from generation to generation would ring true to me in the future and change it forever.

My name is Mia Cushing-Sharpe. Supposedly a pure relation to Edith which I never knew that I looked like her but with pixie cut hair until the day everything changed….
