After Jennifer Pleasure had fallen pregnant with the Pleasure's second child she began to get sick. Mr Pleasure being the deeply religious man he was claimed that Mrs Pleasure had the Devils child inside of her and she was going to die horribly if it wasn't removed immediately. Mrs Pleasure had fought back for almost nine months. Protecting the baby and turning down every offer,plead,threat and beg. This night was another of these situations. "Edward please calm down". Cried Mrs Pleasure trying to follow her husband around the house. "No" he screamed. "That child,that thing!" he said pointing to her stomach "Is killing you." "No" she said. "I've been sick since I gave birth to Daisy". Mr Pleasure marched into his study and shouted "Jennifer,my dear we need to get this baby out of you before you die." Mrs Pleasure put her hands on her stomach protectively. "No Edward" she said. "This is my baby,and you won't kill it". Mrs Pleasure then looked down. The expensive red carpet had a large puddle of water on it. Mrs Pleasure rocked on her heels and said "Edward" in barely a whispered. She then began to scream his name louder and louder each time. She fell on her back and screamed. Mr Pleasure ran to his wife and dropped to his knees next to her. He gripped her hand and shouted for a maid. Who looked around the door,her face paled. She ran to get a doctor. Soon Mrs Pleasure was surrounded with doctors and nurses. She was sweating and crying. This couldn't be a normal pregnancy the doctor thought. Mrs Pleasure's screams echoed through the houses. The Pleasures owned hundred of miles of land surrounding and were glad of it. After eight and a half hours. Mrs Pleasure finally gave birth to a baby. A little girl. She was cleaned and put in a small white towel and given to Mrs Pleasure. She held the small bundled close and vowed to never let her go. She was asked her name and she replied "Sabrina". Then Mrs Pleasure lay back in the bed she had been moved to and closed her eyes. Mr Pleasure's smile that had been there faded when he noticed his wife. The baby was plucked off her chest and the doctors went to her aid. It was too late. Jennifer Pleasure was dead.
Jennifer Pleasure's funeral was small. She had no immediate family left. Her mother had died when she was small. Her father did not keep in contact. He hadn't spoken to Jennifer since Daisy was born. Now this child had been born. She had killed his Jennifer. He never wanted to meet the child. At the funeral. Edward's family attended to pay their respects to the young girl. The priest drowned on about how good a person Jennifer Pleasure was. Mr Pleasure took that time to consider what would happen to their newborn. The autopsy showed that Jennifer had lost her own blood and died. He refused to believe it. God would never have taken a young and innocent girl. He wished that the baby had died instead. He knew that was wrong but he missed his wife so much. Two year old Daisy was aware that her mother wasn't present but was told she was asleep the thought seemed crazy to Daisy but at her age she really wasn't interested. That same Day Mr Pleasure went into the town and bought a small black ring and another for when she had grown. He put it on the child's finger. He couldn't give her away but at least this would keep the devil inside her.
Mr Pleasure sat in his study. He twiddled a small glass of brandy around his fingers. The dark liquid splashing off the cup every so often. He thought of his wife,and how happy they had been. He thought of Daisy as a small child and smiled fondly at the memories. Sabrina was never present at these types of things. She started to shut herself away at the tender age of eight. She didn't want to be with her family,at least that's what the devil inside of her thought. He couldn't send the girl away. She had lived here her entire life. She had never had been part of the family and almost always isolated herself. She had only really came out of her shell when that boy came here. Mr Pleasure moved and placed the glass down gently on a coaster. How could he have been so stupid. The girl loved the boy. He was disgusted. Why would a respectable young man want to date this devil child. He needed to warn Alex before it was too late.
But Alex had other ideas.
Alex sat in his room. He had been trying to work out a plan to find the killer. He had been sent here on a mission and been distracted. He pieced together the little clues he had. Sabrina was a girl that was unloved,not uncared for but definitely unloved. She was forced to wear this black ring that kept her "Power" inside of her. Her sister was a drama queen but actually. Alex knew nothing about Daisy. He began to wonder underneath Daisy's stupid blonde surface was there a criminal mastermind. He stopped for a minute his pen flicking up. He listened hard and heard a creak of footprints. He shoved the pad underneath his pillow. The door was knocked lightly. Alex stood up and cracked his fingers encase it was a trap. He opened the door and met Mr Pleasure's eyes. "Hello Sir" said Alex. "Hello Alex" said Mr Pleasure. Alex moved backwards and moved his arm in the direction of his bedroom. "Come in sir" Mr Pleasure smiled and walked in. He took a seat on the bed. Alex sat on the other side and looked at him. "Alex,my daughter" Alex looked at him blankly "Yes sir,which one?". "What do you think of Sabrina?". "She's a nice girl but that's as far as our relationship goes?" Mr Pleasure raised his eyebrows. "The boy was smart. "What about Daisy?" "Well sir,we could make a good relationship,I have been so shy to speak to her." Mr Pleasure stood up and straightened his coat. "Well,you and Daisy can spend time together tomorrow". He left the room and closed the door behind him. Alex took the pad back out and added a few extra notes. Mr Pleasure's keenness to get him and Daisy talking,he was trying to get him and Sabrina apart. He was going to get to the end of this by the week. He was ready to go home.
