His twisted love...
(Imagine Malachai from Children of the Corn, with another obsession. This is inspired by Stephen King's Children of the Corn, I own nothing but the plot! Malachai/Oc)
Three years ago, in Gatlin, the adult murders happened, and Issac along with his zealous flock took over. After killing all of the adults, he who walks behind the rows 'spoke' only
to their leader Issac, a short boy, he was creepy. With his black hair and his cold blue eyes, his demeanor was always scared them Three years of being told how to live according to 'him'
Sarah along with her brother Toby was planning to find a way to leave and never come back! They would try to find a way to trick the older children into letting them leave, or sneaking out when no one would notice, they knew that it would only be a matter of time until the elder children would not be watching. Sarah and Toby were trying to figure it out, and Joseph their only friend and confidante, would help them find a way! They knew that Malachai, Issac's right-hand man and his eyes and ears, would find ways to stop them. And to have Issac punish them, although their 'leader' never did. And to which the three were very grateful.
Burt and his long-time girlfriend Vicky were traveling to a spot where he was going to be practicing his becoming a doctor when they decided to take a back road they heard that it would be less
time wasted. She loved him so much and was very supportive and proud, and she wanted him to fully commit to her by asking her to marry him and make a life for them both. Each day, it hurt worse
whenever he didn't, and in truth, she didn't know how much longer she could be by his side. She knew that he loved her very much, but for her, he would at least think about it. Just to consider her feelings; they were loading the car up for the long boring journey when a young girl came up to them. Upon closer inspection, the girl looked to be at least sixteen, maybe seventeen, she had
long dark hair, streaming down her back. She had an average build, with green eyes, she was wearing a simple white dress that reached her mid-thighs and her skin was peaches and cream. She did have one
or two earrings in each ear and a necklace, her bits of jewelry were silver.
The couple had noticed a simple pair of sneakers that were white as well, "Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt you, my name is Rebeckah Steele, and I'm trying to get to my grand's house. I could pay you both in gas
money,'' She said with some hopeful notes in her breaking voice, the older woman walked over to her and asked her age, and she was honest, "I'm sixteen,'' came her voice, "honey, where are your parents?''
Came the man's voice, "They kicked me out, to favor my two older sisters and my little brother. They called me an accident,'' she sniffled, this was so painful for her to relive. "And I thought that my boyfriend...
well... now ex-boyfriend would help me, but no some whore got in his ear and he broke up with me, and I hope that she's worth it...'' Vicky shook her head and looked at her boyfriend. It was clear as day that this
young girl suffered. And a lot too. Vicky looked at her boyfriend, "Sure honey, you may come with us, do you have any bags?'' Came her soft voice. Rebeckah nodded her head to the older woman's question, "I do
have a backpack!'' She said as she was walking over to the corner and there it was her black backpack...
Burt sighed and looked over at his girlfriend, "Vicky...'' She pinned him with a look that she knew would get her way, well most of the time, "Burt, I couldn't live with myself if something happened to that girl. If
taking her to her grand's means a few minutes out of our way then it'll be fine. Besides, she needs someone now.'' He sighed, she was right, as much as he would not like to admit it, most of the time. This young Rebeckah
Steele was an innocent young girl, they watched her walk back to them. Burt guided her to the car, "Here you are Rebeckah.'' He offered gently, with his hand on her upper arm, guiding her in the backseat of the yellow car.
Vicky smiled at him, ''That's the man that I love,'' he smiled back as they stole a kiss, Rebeckah smiled, she wanted something like that. True she knew that she was young for that, but, she only had two more years until she became
eighteen. Time really did fly when one was practically homeless, she learned how to fight off drunks, pimps, drug addicts, even her best friend's stepfather. That day, no one believed her, and her best friend saw it! And 'she' chose to believe her stepfather! Rebeckah found out that her best friend was fucking her stepfather!
And the girl's mother was afraid of them! So, she allowed the two to fuck, Vicky and Burt brought her back to earth, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was miles away.'' The couple smiled, "It's ok,'' came Vicky's voice, while Burt was driving, "If you like,
you can talk to us, and maybe we could help you sort it out.'' Came Burt's voice while he was making a right turn. Rebeckah scoffed a bit and shook her head, "I think that you both will need at least sixty years between you two to help me with
that.'' She said while they were driving along, "Ok, so, where does your gran live?'' Asked Vicky, the younger girl smiled sadly, "She lives just outside of Gatlin, but she never goes there, I don't know why. But, she never does, from what I understood
there was probably bad blood or something that must've happened in the past.'' The teenager shrugged, she honestly didn't know. And in truth, she heard far too many rumors, the couple shrugged as well. The old saying goes, 'Some things are better
off in the past.' and sometimes what one knew about the past means nothing, because it might just come back and bite you in the ass.
And so far, they had been driving along for nearly five hours, "Now entering Gatlin,'' Came Vicky and Burt's voices, Rebeckah was sleeping soundly. Vicky had reached behind her and grabbed up the teen's lightweight sweater and draped it on her, "She's
such a polite young girl, who would want to hurt her?'' She asked as Burt was lighting a smoke, "A lot of sick people, Vicky.'' She nodded and turned on the radio, and there was a religious sermon playing, Rebeckah woke up, Burt noticed and turned it off,
"Sorry honey, we didn't mean to wake you.'' She was looking around at them, and out of the window, "No, no, you didn't, I'm not really all that religious.'' Came her voice. They both understood the teen was entitled to her own opinions and beliefs, the couple knew
that the green-eyed teenager was going through a lot of personal problems. And they knew that Rebeckah would be able to work through it, with help, *thud!* The women screamed! As something hit the car, Burt swore and slammed on the brakes, out of instinct, both women had their necks and snap back and forth. Burt immediately went into a doctor mode with both of them, Despite having a bruise on their heads, they were fine, Rebeckah was able to get out of the car while shaking her head. Her eyes had focused, there was a body
lying in the middle of the road, and that body wasn't an animal!
Rebeckah was slowly walking to the form of the child and kneeling to him, the boy was young, maybe nine. He had dark hair and farmer's/ religious clothes on, she gasped when Burt was in front of her, "Is he?'' She asked. Burt nodded. She took a deep breath, Vicky walked up and looked at both of them, her eyes then made contact with the poor boy that was laying in the middle of the road. "Burt...'' She was able to utter, he stood upbringing Rebeckah with him and guided her to Vicky. "I need you two to do me a favor, go get a blanket or
something to cover him up with. And rest by the car, I'm gonna take a look around, there may be some clues because he was already dead by the time that he was on the road... I want you two to be near or in the car, so that way, I know that you both will be safe.'' The two had
reluctantly agreed to wait. As Burt was walking around, Vicky took a seat inside of the car, while Rebeckah was walking around the vehicle, and looking around. Vicky nodded off for a moment or two, while the teen was looking around, she couldn't help but shake the feeling that
she was being watched, well all three of them were being watched.
-Meanwhile where Malachi was hiding-
He couldn't breathe! She was beautiful! She was average height, average weight, she looked to be sixteen at least. Her body! Her body was perfect, true that the dress was indecent! He could tell that her breasts were firm but small, they were nice to look at! With her long black hair,
it was blowing in the subtle wind... Malachi Boardman was actually looking at a girl! Not that there were not any girls where he lived, but they didn't interest him or stir him in the least. He wanted her, he grinned, she was near Gatlin, and he would ensure that she would stay with him and only him, and he did have favor with both Issac and He who walks behind the rows... he would have her!
-Back to the Three-
Vicky gasped, Burt and Rebeckah were there instantly, the teen was putting the bloody suitcase in the backseat with her, "Aren't you bothered by blood?'' Asked Vicky, "No not really I am going to be going to school for Mortuary Sciences, so blood never really bothers me. Now, if it gets in my hair, then
you will see the city girl come out...'' The three did have a bit of a chuckle, while driving, Rebeckah couldn't shake the feeling that there was something evil, from time to time, she could sense things, and the only one that she could or even would consider confiding in was her granny Jessie. Jessie was
a frail elderly woman. Granny Jessie had a bad heart, and she couldn't do much of anything anymore. With a sigh, they ventured on, and Rebeckah was more on edge than ever.
When they arrived at Gatlin, the three got out of the car, it was a ghost town! Rebeckah was walking around looking, "This is one creepy place,'' the teen said while hugging herself...
-Meanwhile with Issac and Malachi and the flock-
"The three are here,'' Said Issac with a smile, Malachi walked up to his 'leader' the boy looked at his right hand, "Yes, Malachi?'' The tall, slender redhead, motioned for him to come closer, and the darker haired boy did, "I don't want the girl hurt or touched.'' Issac smirked slightly, "Why Malachi if I didn't know any
better, I'd say that you were smitten...'' One look from his cold blue eyes was enough, true, they both have favor with 'He who walks behind the rows,' Issac thought, "Alright Malachi, I will grant this one thing that you want, you ask me for nothing, you may have her, she is yours.'' The slender red-headed male nodded,
Issac spoke up, "The outlanders have arrived, but there is a teen with them, do not touch her! She's for Malachi! He who walks behind the rows grants him that gift!'' They were chanting "Praise God!'' Issac gave the signal and his trusted flock of enforcers were gone, while the youngers were in a lesson sitting in the cornfield. Malachi was walking with his henchmen/henchwomen, they were doing a hell of a job making Issac think that he was the one that was in charge. And when it comes time for the power struggle, Issac would meet with an 'accident' as they arrived in the town square, the three newcomers were looking around and walking somewhat apart. Out of nowhere came another car, nearly hitting his girl!
Malachi tensed! That... person... or...persons... will. DIE!
The girl did a few flips, very impressive, the other woman and the man were running to the girl's aid, while the car park, two people got out another man and a girl around the dark-haired teen's age.
The man had a stocky build he was roughly in his forties, as for the girl, she was basically the same age as Malachi's soon-to-be, but ugly... very ugly...
-Back to the group-
"Watch where you're going asshole, you nearly ran her over!'' Yelled Burt, the man laughed cruelly, "Relax, punk, it's all in good fun, and besides, I wouldn't want to run over that nice piece of ass...'' Vicky glared, "She's a child, you sick!'' Burt stepped in front of her and guided Rebeckah behind him as well. " Allow me to say something
Jail bait, buddy!'' Came his voice. The other teen girl spoke, "We just to ensure that you are safe, we've been following you. Oh, where are my manners? this is my stepfather, Courtney and I am Riley. We are Becky's friends.'' The dark-haired teen shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Um no, you are not, you tried to rape me, you sick bastard!''
Came Rebeckah's voice, she ran off, Riley was running after her, Burt grabbed the other man by his shirt collar, "If I ever see you anywhere near her, again, I will kill you myself, cause I don't like men that rape little kids!'' He hissed...
Rebeckah was running, tears were pouring from her eyes, why could those two leave her alone?
Finding a building, she went in and ran up the stairs, without the two girls knowing, a couple of people were following them...
The group could easily hear the struggle going on between the two girls, Riley had grabbed the dark-haired girl and threw hard into the wall causing her to somehow lose her balance and hit her head on a corner of the nearby desk. The group grabbed the other girl and kill her, Malachi's slender tall frame was filling the doorway, walking towards her,
she was lying on the floor, not moving, but alive, she was hurt and needed care. hunkering down and picking her up in his arms, he carried her to his area, where he could be alone if he wished it...
Now that he has her he will not let her go!
