When she opened her eyes, Abby found herself lying on her bed. Her head was severely aching. She sat up in bed with a jolt as memories of the night before flashed before her eyes she could literary feel the figure’s gaze penetrate her.
Abby felt a shiver run down her spine at the thought of the dark figure.
‘No!’ She gasped, ‘My baby!’ she screamed out so placing both hands on her belly.
Daniel came rushing into the room when he heard his wife screaming.
‘Are you okay?’ he asked glancing around the room.
‘Daniel! What did they do to my child, what did you agree to,’ she cried.
‘The baby is okay Abby, they didn’t do anything to her,’ he said
‘Daniel those people are evil, I can’t give them my child, no!’ she said her voice trembling.
He walked to the bed and sat beside her, he knew what he had agreed to was creepy and disgusting but what was he to do, he loved his son with everything in him there was no way in hell he would ever allow him to go mad.
‘Abby!’ He held his wife’s hand and gently squeezed it.
‘This is hard on me too, what was I supposed to do, it was either this baby or Alfred would you have rather they killed our little boy, is that it?’
Abby shook her head, she loved her son dearly but she also loved the child in her womb what was a mother to do. Abby was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
‘This is for the best, we are going to have more children after this one,’ he consoled her.
‘I need water,’ she got up from the bed.
‘Let me get the water for you.’
‘No,’ she shook her head.
Daniel took a deep breath this was going to be tougher than he thought.
Abby made her way to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water gulping it down then she placed the glass on the table and made her way back to the bedroom. She undressed slowly and walked towards the bathroom. She turned on the shower and stood under the cold water, the water felt so good.
Afterwards she pulled a white towel and dried herself then she walked out of the bathroom.
‘How are you feeling?’ Daniel asked.
‘You think a short bath will wipe away everything, this will haunt us for years.’
‘Abby!’
‘I seriously don’t want to talk about this Daniel, for now I will bond with my child, I will try not to think about her not being ours.’
‘You don’t have to be attached to this child.’
She laughed, ‘I am carrying this child in my womb, I will be alone in that labour ward, she will suck these breasts of mine, tell me how am i not supposed to get attached, you find it so easy not to be attached because you don’t know a single thing about child birth.’
‘Abby!’
‘I don’t want to hear another word about this just let it go,’ she cut him short
Daniel shook his head in frustration, he stood up and walked out of the room, talking to Abby about this wasn’t helping matters at all.
Abby quickly got dressed she grabbed her phone and walked out of the room to the living room.
‘Are you going out?’ he asked when he saw her walking towards the door.
‘I need some fresh air.’
‘Ok,’ he responded
She opened the door and slammed it shut on her way out. She just needed a little time to herself, time away from her husband, she needed time to think.
Abby wandered around and around, her mind was racing, everything was freaking her out, she had just sold her unborn child to an evil force, how she was supposed to sleep at night after what she had just done.
This was the most evil thing she had ever done all her life.
*******
A few Months later
Abby was sleeping on her left side her hand was placed on her tummy, she was nervous as the day of birth was slowly getting closer. It seemed like yesterday when she had discovered she was pregnant & now she only had two weeks to go, was she even ready to have this baby?
The past few months had been tough on Abby, she had been experiencing a number of strange and creepy things. She had been seeing things and hearing voices, it always felt like someone had been watching her throughout the pregnancy. Sometimes abby would feel a hand brushing her tummy and when that happened she would feel a bubbly feeling in her belly like butterflies.
‘I will be watching football in the living room if you need me,’ he said
‘Where is Alfred?’
‘He is fast asleep.’
‘Oh!’
‘Yes! Should I get you some water perhaps?’
‘I am okay babe, what I need now is a good night’s sleep but we both know that won’t be possible,’ she yawned.
‘You have managed just fine, a few weeks won’t hurt.’
She managed a weak smile, ‘I know babe, two weeks and we can go back to normal.’
He bent over and kissed her lips lightly, ‘We are in this together.’
‘I know.’
‘So call me when you need anything.’
‘Alright hun.’
He smiled at her before he walked out of the room.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, all she needed was a just a few minutes of sleep so she could feel better she was feeling a little ill from exhaustion.
A few minutes later Abby was startled awake from what she assumed was a nightmare, in her dream she had seen a hand trying to pull her baby from her womb.
As she sat upright Abby had the familiar feeling of someone watching her. She was about to call for her husband when a dark figure appeared out of nowhere, Abby was paralyzed with fear, the figure looked at her for what seemed like an eternity before it vanished in thin air.
Just then Abby felt a heavy gush of warm fluid flow down her thighs and onto the blankets, she screamed, ‘Daniel!’
Daniel rushed into the room and when he saw what had just happened he grabbed his phone and called the paramedics.
