The Devils Child-Let the games begin!

Part Four



Damian and Judy cautiously climbed the back steps leading up to the cabin.

They approached the back door and they both froze when the breaking glass and things being thrown about fell silent.





Damian opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Judy's glaring eyes and her mouthing for him to say nothing.





Judy took a couple of steps toward the window to the right of her and carefully peered in for a few moments. She then slowly made her way over to Damian's side.


"Alright slick. I am only going to tell you once, so pay attention. Alright?" Judy whispered into Damian's ear. Damian just shook his head in agreement.



Judy paused for a second or two trying to catch her breathe.

"Ok, I am going to go in ALONE and you wait for me to come and get you."

Judy quietly demanded.





"What?! That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard of!" Damian protested.

Judy opened her mouth to defend herself but was cut off by Damian.

"NO! We need to stick together! It's 2 against 1 if we stick together!" Damian argued.



Judy took the butt of her wooden rifle and plowed it into Damian's gut.

Damian's mouth dropped open to scream out in pain and yet nothing came out.

"I told you to stay quiet!" Judy hissed.



Damian could feel his stomach turn as he sank slowly to his knees.


"Like I said, you stay here." Judy replied looking down at the man who looked as if he were kissing the wooden porch. Judy just shook her head as she let out an annoyed sigh.




"BREATHE son, just BREATHE already."



Damian hadn't realized it, but his face had gone red and started to turn blue from not breathing. Damian forced himself to inhale a large quantity of air. His lungs expanded as they excepted the fresh air.



Damian remained hunched over on the porch and slowly took a few breathes in trying to get rid of the dizziness and nausea he was currently experiencing.


He wasn't sure how long he had been down, but when he came to his senses he realized it was far to silent. He then glanced over to his right. He had expected to see Judy staring at him. Instead he saw nothing. Judy was gone!





Damian popped up and glanced around hoping Judy was somewhere close by.

Still. There was no Judy in sight.


"Damn!" Damian moaned.




He stood in his place feeling like a lost little boy, he wasn't sure what to do. Just then he remembered the window to the left.

Damian slowly paced over to the window and glanced through the glass as if he were some sort of spy on a secret mission.


Once his eyes had adjusted to the sudden brightness he was able to see into the cabin for the first time. He realized he was looking into the kitchen area.




At first glance he saw nothing but pots and pans thrown throughout the kitchen along with broken glass scattered throughout the wooden floor. He tried to see where Judy was but could see no sign of anyone. Damian could feel a wave of panic surge throughout his body.



Suddenly a noise from behind snapped his attention behind him.


He could feel the wave of panic grow within him.




His eyes darted all around trying to find whatever was making the noise.

He stared into the darkness and yet he still saw nothing.



"Relax Damian, it's just some wild animal, that's all. No worries! Stay Strong, you're a man!" He nervously muttered to himself.


Damian shook his head as if he were trying to shake away his fears.




He turned his attention back into the cabin to see if there were any signs of life.

Damian had expected to see an empty kitchen once more instead his heart dropped into his stomach when he saw a dark figure standing in front of him on the other side of the window.





"Oh Sh'¦" Damian gasped as his body went flying back into the porch railing. He stared at the dark figure just standing there staring at him ."JUDY!" Damian gasped.




Damian stood up and called out to her again, only she did not answer. She kept staring at him with a blank look. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing escaped her lips. Instead her body went limp and fell forward, only to have her ample body go crashing through the glass window.





"NO!" Damian cried out as he reached out to catch Judy's body.


It all seemed to happen in slow motion as he leaped towards her falling body.



Damian grunted as he caught Judy's body and eased her down to the ground.

He looked around and saw no one.



Damian's body began to shake as he looked into Judy's blue eyes. "No! No! No! Come on Judy, you'll be fine!" Damian said with frustration in his voice as he searched for a wound, just then his hand slid over a gooey warm spot over her chest.

She had been stabbed!





Judy made a gasping noise causing Damian to look into her eyes, she opened her mouth and all that escaped her lips was, "Run!"

She took one last gasp for air and her body went limp and the twinkle within her blues eyes had left.




Damian sat there for a moment and instead of feeling fear he felt an intense anger grow within him.




"Oh, it's on now. Let the games begin!"
