The Devil's Incarnate

The devil is a heartbreak away. ********************************* The sign clearly showed that the ashes I looked at was the former house of the Compton's. Catherine didn't utter a single word. The house was scorched and it looked like a centuries incident. Some of it's parts had been blown away. Cathy had gone to the backyard and beckoned me to come. My legs felt like jelly I was unsure how I had managed to walk. There were small tombstones in the backyard and the first that I caught sight of was lady Kerrie's. I gulped. I didn't like where it was headed but I had to know it all. I looked from one tomb to the other when my eyes rested on one. Edward Compton 1876-1887 I felt my world whirl at that time. Hadn't Cathy held my hand I would have taken a toss. How could the man I had seen in the flesh have died twenty years ago. More so as a child. Was I delusional? Someone had played a trick on me and was enjoying it at my cost. How could I have fallen for a dead being?Or worse a spirit? Tears pricked my eyes. I couldn't believe it. It was too much to comprehend.

Beginning of the End

Too startled to speak. Too startled to digest. I locked myself in the room. Refusing to open it even for the servants that knocked bringing forth hot water and supper. Terrence knocked an hour after. I shooed him away as I yelled back that I was fine. For he was proving to be a prick and swearing to bring down the door. He didn't listen and I had to open the door for him to see I was alive and well. I held the tears. I only managed to coax him off my case when I took in the tray and water. I slammed the door listening to the shuffling of feet behind me. I slid down the door. Sitting there motionless except for the tears that rolled down.

"Two murders. "
