Chapter 2
"What the hell is wrong with his arm?"
The question came from Adam but Lily couldn't help but think the same thing. The two sat on the floor just staring at their son, wondering what they should do.
"Adam, please take him." Lily was slightly shaking as she held the baby and she didn't know if she would be able to hold on much longer. Adam quickly took Allen from her hands, but made sure not to touch the blood red arm that sat limply to his side. The more he looked at it, the more it bothered him, he had to put Allen down some where.
Looking around, Adam tried to figure this all out and laid Allen down on the chair. He then swiftly went back to where he let go of the crib and dragged it into the room. When it was set up in the room, Adam picked up a now crying Allen and laid him in is crib. Adam made sure his son was okay, before turning back to Lily who was just sitting there with a blank stare. This made him feel uneasy seeing her like that and he knew he had to do something.
Slowly walking to her side, he tried getting her attention. "Lily? Sweet heart." There was still no response from her and she looked like she was going to faint. She started to sway as her eyes fought to stay open, and in one quick motion she fell back onto the floor before Adam could get his hands behind her. "Lillian!"
Adam instantly picked her up off the ground and onto the small couch near by. First making sure Lily had not been hurt, he propped her head up with a pillow and covered her up. Adam was worried about her but he just guessed that she had fainted from lack of sleep and all the overwhelming things that had happen within the few hours.
Then thinking of overwhelming things, he looked over to his son, who was still crying, and wondered what the hell he should do. Allen's arm was disfigured and grotesque looking, it was not normal. Adam had not seen anything like it before and thought the best thing to do was get the doctor, but to get the doctor he would have to leave Allen behind.
'Oh god! What do i do? My wife is passed out, there is something horribly wrong with my son, and i've had no sleep. Today could not get any worse!' Adam was breaking down and didn't know what to do, but he decided that Allen would be okay for a little, while he ran to the doctor and brought him back. So with a quick check on Lily and Allen, he regretfully left them alone to go to the hospital.
Lily was standing in the middle of a grassy plain. The wind was blowing, the sun was out and everything around her was so beautiful. She began to run around the field of grass, laughing and jumping as the wind blew her long blonde hair every wheres. Getting tired she sat down in the grass and watched as butterflies flew around as if playing tag with one another. Lily felt so at ease and happy, as if nothing could make it better, but then she shot up and remembered something.
"Adam. Where is he?" She looked around and almost as if someone was answering her question, Adam came walking over a hill in the distance. The sight of him made her very happy and she hopped up to start running his way. As she got closer, she noticed something small in the arms of her husband, but she couldn't tell what it was. Then it hit her. "My baby."
At the realization she stopped in her tracks, remembering all the things that had happen before she came to the paradise. Her pregnancy, her labor, the delivery, and Allen... her baby. Finally Adam reached her, and she was able to clearly see Allen in his arms. Lily smiled at the sight of her baby and she felt extremely happy all over again, but that didn't last long as she reached out to him and Adam pulled back. Lily stood with her arm still stretched out towards her baby, and a confused look on her face.
"Adam? What are you doing, let me hold my baby." She was starting to get annoyed because every time she walked closer to touch Allen, Adam would back away. "Adam! What are you doing. I want to see Allen!"
"No, you can't touch him. He's not normal." Adam had a blank stare and an emotionless face. Lily was really starting to get scared, Adam was acting weird and no matter how fast she ran towards him she couldn't reach them.
"Stop! There is nothing wrong with him, so give me back my baby!" Lily started to cry and reach out for him, but Adam still stay emotionless and shook his head. The farther she ran, the more her surroundings started to disappear and everything started to go dark. She stopped running, everything was black and the only thing she could see was Adam and Allen. Her once sunny paradise was now a dark nightmare.
Lily was terrified and her body was trembling as she stared at the two most important people in front of her. Still crying, she started to walk towards them and this time the distance between them was closing. Adam did not move as she got closer and Lily found this as a good sign but then everything turned for the worse. Just as she was about to reach them, Adam held Allen up in the air, showing his whole body and his arm. Lily stopped when she saw his arm, and gasped a little when she remember her baby had a disfigured arm.
"See, he is not normal. He is not our son, but a demon, just look at his arm." Adam spoke to her as she stood there frozen. She started to consider what he was saying and almost agreed with him, but then she stopped that horrible thinking when Allen began to move. Lily watched as his small legs began kicking around in the air, and his normal arm grabbed Adam's hand. She looked up to see him finally open his eyes and reveal the most stunning silver eyes, just like her own. The thing that made her heart move the most though, is when he looked down to her and giggled with the sweetest smile.
With this sight Lily wanted to hold Allen so much more, and couldn't believe she ever thought of him as anything but her little baby. "No, your wrong Adam. He is our son, the little son we promised to love and cherish, so please, give him to me." She start to walk towards them again and held out her arms so Adam would give her Allen.
But to her horror Adam shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Lily, but he is not our son. He is a monster." With that, Adam let go of Allen and let the child fall. Lily screamed and ran for her baby hoping to catch him, but before she could get to him, Allen hit the ground with a loud thud. Her baby just laid there, not breathing, and no life in his little body. She fell to the floor next to him and started painfully crying into her hands. Never did she ever want something like this to happen, why the hell did Adam do that to their baby. She wanted to look up to him, yell and scream at him, but she had no strength at all so she continued to weep.
While she sobbed, she did not realize that the two in front of her had disappeared and were now replaced with someone else. As Lily cried this person stood in front of her, watching with soft eyes and a saddened smile.
"Please do not cry." Lily's head shot up as the person finally spoke. She was startled by the unfamiliar voice, and wanted to back away from the stranger but her legs felt too weak. When she accepted that she couldn't get up, Lily began to look around for Adam and her dead son, but they were no where's to be seen. Lily then looked back up to the person in front of her and tried to get a better look, but unlike how she had saw Adam and Allen, this person was hidden by shadows.
By the sound of the person's voice she was sure that it was a male, and the body structure dressed in black also confirmed this. She was not able to make out all the features of his face but she could see his saddened smile and a glow from his hair as if it was white. Lily knew no one like this and wondered what this man wanted, but before she could ask he spoke again.
"Please, do not worry or fret. Everything will be okay."
This made Lily sad and angry all over again. 'Everything was going to be okay? What the hell did he know! "How could any of this be okay! My baby is dead and the person who killed him, is his own father!" She began crying again at the mention of Allen.
The mystery man just smiled a little more and said, "Is he?" Lily stopped sobbing to peer at the man and wonder what the hell he was talking about. "What do you mean is he? I was right here when-"
"Listen." She just wanted to hit this man, he had interrupted her and confused her, but then she heard what he was telling her to listen to. In the faint distance she could hear a baby crying, but it wasn't just any baby crying it was her own baby.
Lily gasped and swiftly stood up at the sound. She started spinning in circles looking for Allen but she didn't see him any where. She turned back to the man, but he was no longer there either. Lily wondered where he had gone but she was more worried about Allen, she could hear his cry but she could not tell from which direction it was coming from and this frustrated her.
"Allen! Allen! Where's my baby!" She screamed out into the nothingness, she just wanted him back. Lily became dizzy as she fell to her knees, closed her eyes and held her head. As she held her head, it sounded like Allen's crying became louder and soon it sounded as if it was right next to her.
She was confused because even though she could hear Allen right next to her, she couldn't remove her hands from her eyes and find him. Then she heard new voices, but she knew these voices, they were Adam's, the doctor's and the town priest's.
"Oh holy god. I pray to you today to ask for your forgiveness for this unfortunate family. Please repent their sins, and help send this demon back to where he belongs." Lily could hear him chanting and praying to the god as the doctor and Adam talked to the side.
"Dr. Smith i don't think this is necessary, there may be something wrong with his arm but my child is not a demon."
"No i have never seen something like that before. That child is not normal, and i doubt it is even a human."
"Sir! I would like if you did not say that. Please get this priest out of here. My son does not need this, he just needs that arm looked at by a doctor."
The two went back and forth like this for quiet a bit, but all Lily could really concentrate on is the still crying Allen. She finally realized that all the stuff before had been a bad dream and now she was back to the real world, but what was happening in reality was just as bad.
'What the hell does that freaking priest think he's doing to my baby! This needs to stop and stop now!' Lily finally opened her eyes, she quickly rubbed them trying to get the sleepiness to go away as she sat up. Adam saw this and rushed over to her side. He was saying something but Lily ignored it and looked for Allen. She then found him in his crib, in the corner of the room, with a creepy old priest standing over him, chanting preyers and spritzing holy water on him.
Adam was still saying something but Lily ignored him again as she got up, pushed him to the side and stomped over to Allen's crib. Nearly nocking over the priest, she pushed him and swiftly picked up the crying Allen. The three men were watching her as she picked him up and began softly speaking to him and trying to comfort him. They were bewildered by her actions but even more confused when she stopped cooing Allen to look up at them and glare.
"What the hell do you think you doing to him." Lily was pissed, the poor baby had just been born not that long ago and is already going through hell.
Adam was the first to speak up as he walk towards her. "I'm sorry honey, you had fainted and i wasn't sure what to do about Allen's arm, so i thought it would be best to get the doctor to look at it."
"Then why is this priest here, calling my baby a demon!"
"Mrs. Lerwick, there is something wrong with that child's arm. When i saw it, i had to get the priest." Lily glared at the doctor as spoke. 'So he had been the jerk that got the priest!'
"There is nothing wrong with my baby. His arm is a little different but he is still my son."
"No, that is not just a little different, it's not human." Everyone turned their heads to look at the doctor standing next to Lily. He was holding a cross out near Allen and looking at him like he was a monster.
The priest was lucky looks couldn't kill because right about then he was getting a killer glare from both Adam and Lily.
"This thing does not belong on this earth! It needs to be sent back to the hell hole it was sent from! This thing, this freak, this monst-" The priest could not finish his sentence, as he had gotten punch straight in the jaw by Adam.
"Get the hell out! Don't you dare come into my house and insult my baby and my family like this!" He then turned to the doctor still fuming and pissed. "And you! I brought you here to make sure my son was okay, not for you to deem him a demon and bring in that piece of work you call a priest!"
Both the doctor and the priest were beyond shock as the usual gentle and kind man screamed and yelled at them. Lily stood by and watched with a huge grin on her face, she had wanted to do that from the beginning. After Adam was done yelling, he walked over to his wife and son with a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry, i didn't know the doctor was going to do this. I was just really overwhelmed and confused."
Lily just smiled and leaned into his chest. "It's okay, but this just proves what i've always told you."
"And what's that?"
"You'd be lost with out me." Lily giggled and Adam just blushed while rubbing his neck. It was a picture perfect moment, but it was quickly ruined when they heard the other two shuffling around trying to gather their things to leave.
The doctor had helped up the priest that had been knocked down by the punch, and they were starting to head for the door. The doctor had already been out of the house when the priest turned to look at the two parents. "We will leave for now, but that thing does not belong in out town and we will make sure it is disposed of!"
"Get the hell out unless you want to be punched by me next!" Lily handed Adam the baby and she started storming towards the priest. The already sore man eye's widen at this sight and he ran out the door. Lily stood in the door way and watched as he ran into the doctor's carriage, looking back to make sure she didn't fallow. She laughed at this and yelled to them. "Haha! That's what i thought!"
Adam laughed at her as he walked over to her side, and put his free hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him with a happy smile, then wrapped her hands around his neck to give him a hug. He chuckled and hugged her back lightly, trying not to smother Allen, and kissed her forehead. "Alright alright, don't forget you just had a baby not that long ago, you should be taking it easy."
Lily pulled back, taking the baby with her, and began to walk over to the crib. "Me? I just had a nice nap and i feel up to some parenting. You on the other hand haven't slept yet have you?" Adam shook his head kind of embarrassed and Lily just gave him a look that said 'i knew it'. "That's what i thought, so go take a nap i've got everything handled here."
Adam nodded and walked over to his wife to give her a kiss and a peck on the forehead for Allen. "I love you, Lily, Allen."
"I love you too." Then Lily looked at Allen. Smiling Lily picked up Allen's left arm, began waving it at Adam and in a little baby voice said, "I love you too daddy."
Adam chuckled and smiled at the too before starting to head for their bedroom, but before he could make it out the room, Lily started to say something again. "Oh, by the way Adam." He turned to look at Lily and gave her a look of 'yes i'm listening.' "Do we know any young man with white hair?"
"Young?"
"Yeah"
"I don't think so. Only the older people around here. Why?"
This bothered Lily. She didn't think they knew anyone with white hair, and she was right, but then who had that been in her dream? She sat there and thought about it but then she heard Adam calling her name. "Lily?"
"Oh! Sorry, it's nothing. Good night." Adam gave her a confused look but he was just too tired to question her so he just said good night back and head for bed.
Lily waited until she heard him go into their room before she took Allen and sat on the couch. He had stopped crying earlier but now he was beginning to whine again. "Alright alright little mister, i know, you hungry aren't you? Well let's get you fed then we can go join daddy for a nice nap."
The new family was happy again, and they were starting their new lives but back in the doctor's carriage something horrible was being planned.
"That thing is not human! We need to get rid of it and soon!" The priest was ranting about Allen, constantly calling him a monster or a demon.
"I know his arm is not normal but when you say get rid of him, you don't mean kill the baby do you?" The doctor had been listening, and he didn't very much like the child's arm either but he didn't believe in killing someone.
"Of course i mean kill it! It is an abomination, and it deserves to go to hell, so don't back out on me!" The doctor was against the idea but he didn't want to go against the priest, so he just nodded.
"Then what are you going to do? They are not going to let us back in the house after today."
"That's why they wont know we are in there." The doctor peered at the priest as he started to turn to him, wearing a sinister smile. "Meet me at their house tonight, one o'clock a.m. and don't be late."
