Eve & Michelle’s Secret

Chapter 6

Eve & Michelle's Secret

", and the devil shall go to the chosen people that have committed sins, and have become corrupt, and do not follow the ways of the lord. , and the devil shall come, and play with them."

The face of the devil was revealed in Joshua's body. Wearing the black minister's robe. Around him sat children with hoods on their heads, and tape across their mouths. The children screamed in fear.

and whimpered in terror. They took off their hoods and tried to escape, but he appeared everywhere, blocking their path. He collected them into the great black robe as he laughed cruelly and meanly and threw them into the shack of hell where more children had been abused. Eve, Gideon, and Michelle also appeared in the devil's image as well as Abraham's mother. Chasing Abraham everywhere. Abraham was sleeping in his bed, but his body was thrashing restlessly, and fearfully. As his body dripped with sweat shaking at the sight of the horrors passing through his mind.

He mumbled in his sleep, "No, No, No! Don't do it! I, Abraham, the

emissary of the lord, command you to stop! The lord is by my side,

,and he will light my way. I will destroy the devil wherever he is! The lord has given me the power ,and faith to fight the devil."

A sudden rattling of the key in the front door startled Abraham awake from his sleep, and he sat up on the bed, confused ,and disoriented, looking fearfully around for the devil gone like a ghost in the dark, chilly night.

Michelle walked into the apartment in an excellent mood as she hummed "What a Wonderful World" to herself. Abraham was faking sleep completely, forgetting the nightmare, praying to God.that the new nightmare of her singing would stop forever. Fortunately for him, she was saddened when the telephone began ringing, stopping her singing short. She picked up the phone in the guest room, unaware that Abraham had also picked up the phone quietly ,and slowly in the bedroom, aiming to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"Hello, this is Michelle! Who is this? Hi Eve! How are you? How is sweet Isaac? Everybody is okay." Eve sighed in relief at Michelle's voice. She much preferred not hearing Abraham's view.

"Hi, Michelle, we're all okay. Thank you. How's life with Abraham? By the way, he isn't home?" Michelle started laughing, surprising Eve.

"He's home, sleeping like a baby! Otherwise, he'd answer the phone, did you want something?"

"I wanted to ask him an important favor. This Friday, in two days, I am going with my girlfriends from work on vacation until Sunday morning. This is the first time we're going away together without men. . .alone on vacation, you know, to clear our heads, forget the problems! I could ask Gideon to watch over Isaac until we get back, but I don't want to, I prefer you took Isaac on the weekend! You can come over to pick him up on Friday, and I'll pick him up on Sunday, okay? You can go anywhere you like, the amusement park, safari, a play, my treat! I'll pay for his expenses! I hope you can convince Abraham to agree."

"Okay, Eve, you can go peacefully, and stop it, I'll pay for his expenses. You're insulting me! We're happy to have Isaac, and we'll pay for whatever he feels like doing. Don't worry about Abraham, it's okay! He won't make any trouble, let him try! He'll feel what it's like for us women to punish him, a sex strike until his balls turn blue." Abraham's face turned sour, and he felt like a pickle bitten by Eve ,and Michelle, who laughed out loud.He pounded the bed angrily ,and thought, "Fuck you both, you won't decide for me, I mustn't host that nag, Isaac, the nasty user who reminds me of his mother with his every step."

Abraham was still disgruntled, but he kept listening curiously as Eve continued to talk, "By the way, Isaac wanted to come along with me, but I, with great efforts, convinced him that he has no choice.

,and must spend the time with you! Of course, I promised him a nice present when I got back, maybe a motorized car, but it's a secret."

Michelle remembered Abraham's moods, sometimes acting like an angel ,and mostly like the devil, and was rightly fearful again, "Say, Eve! What do I do if Abraham refuses to take Isaac? Do you have a solution?"

"Don't worry, dear! If Abraham gives you a tough time, I'm willing to put off the alimony payment for one month ,and revoke the stay of the exit order, do you think he'll prefer to ignore the offer?" Abraham listening to Eve's last proposal smiled joyfully.

"Don't worry, Eve. Abraham will agree. My threat ,and your offer will be worthwhile for him." Michelle laughed loudly.

"Wow, Michelle! You're something else! You're sweet ,and fun! Say, what about children? Are you two into it?" Abraham turned white like a sheet. His fingers clamped around the phone. He pounded the bed again mumbling.

"Watch it, Michelle! Don't you tell her anything, what business is it?

of hers?"

Unfortunately for him ,and to his disappointment Michelle hurriedly answered with excitement ,and pride, "Dear Eve, I'll tell you a secret, but keep it between us! Abraham can't know that I told you! Not only are we into kids, but I'm already 7 weeks pregnant! We're going to have a baby in a few months."

"Wow, great! I'm so happy for you, Michelle, and Abraham too! Congratulations."

Despite the enthusiastic response, her face showed disinterest ,and loathing. Her face contorted like the face of a stubborn, selfish person that must prove she was better, smarter, and more successful than anyone else. She whispered cockily, "By the way, Michelle, you know. I have a little secret to tell you as well. I'm also pregnant, and I'm 7 weeks too. Maybe the two idiots planned to knock us up at the same time?"

Michelle laughed in amusement! Abraham was sure he was drunk, drugged, or probably didn't hear what he had just heard. As the phone slipped from his shaking hands.

This was the most surprising thing he had ever heard ,and hurriedly held the phone to his ear ,and at the last second stopped himself from saying, "No Eve, wouldn't it be better if you abort? You're going to have another cursed baby? You want to bring little Hitters to the world?"

"That's so great Eve, I'm so happy for you ,and wish you the best. Say, you must want a sister for Isaac, right? Or doesn't it matter to you?"

Eve chuckled cynically.

"I don't care if it's a boy or a girl! I'd be happy with both. I just hope Gideon treats our baby better than he treats Isaac. Sometimes it seems like he hates Isaac. What is it with men? They always imagine the children who are not theirs to be in the way."

Michelle laughed.

"I wish you ,and Abraham have one child after another, and maybe that way, Abraham won't be bored with life. Maybe he's bored of marriage? Go figure. I certainly couldn't. ,and luckily, I don't have to anymore, thank God. Well, bye, Michelle. I'll see you on Friday."

A laugh of scorn sounded from Eve's direction as she hung up the phone. Michelle ,and Abraham, still eavesdropping, held the phone like two idiots, gazing into the future but living in the past. Abraham was startled to hear an evil cackle from Michelle, who didn't quiet.

know how to digest and treat Eve's comments as she hung up the phone. Abraham regained his senses and put the phone down carefully. Michelle's footsteps were heard approaching the bedroom, and Abraham quickly covered himself with the blanket, pretending to be asleep snoring. She smiled.

"Oh, Abraham, you are so sweet ,and calm when you sleep." She giggled in satisfaction and went back to the living room. Abraham's eyes opened with hatred ,and dislike.

"You are a whore of fate! A woman of conflict ,and strife! You become more ,and more like that devil Eve every passing day. My first mistake was Isaac ,and now the second mistake will be your baby, Michelle!" he cried. "It's my fault! Only my fault! I shouldn't have let you bring a child to the world. . . you're like my mother, you're all the same, I hate my mother1! ,and you! You should have died instead of having children!"

Suddenly, his consciousness became clouded, he was now a sweet 7-year-old boy, playing in his room with a toy car. His father was at work, and his mother was in her bedroom with her poodle, Dooley, who she cared about more than she ever did about her husband ,and child. She was watching a movie where the hero ,and his girls are performing an artistic erotic scene. She sighed sadly and raged when the scene ended quickly without a glimpse of the penis she so looked forward to.

"Sons of bitches, I just started getting hot ,and you're ending it? You should be ashamed! I don't give a shit about you, I'll just put a porn movie in the Cryand you can all kiss my ass," she screamed at the TV ,and startled Abraham who was playing outside the room, mumbling anxiously while his body shook.

"She scares me. . . I wish my idiot father were home when she gets angry. But what can he do? Dad is like a baby doing her bidding! My pathetic frightened father is scared of her like the mouse fears the cat!"

His mother put the tape into the VCR and turned on the TV excitedly. Her hands start to fondle her naked body under the translucent robe that she was wearing without knowing Abraham was peeking through the gap between the door ,and the frame. His mother started to caress herself all over her body ,and from her mouth started pouring hoarse grunts of unbridled lust! Abraham didn't understand what was happening, and without notice, he opened the door wider. He didn't realize that his mother noticed his image reflected in the mirror placed in front of the door. She stopped for a moment for a lack of choice, her face was angry as she screamed at him.

"I can see you, Abraham! What are you doing by the door? Peeking at mommy." Suddenly she started laughing ,and turned towards Abraham who was pale, embarrassed, and frightened as he stuttered.

"I'm sorry, mommy, I'll go back to my games, I won't bother you again, I promise."

"Shut up, stupid! You're as dumb ,and pathetic as your father! Come

here at once, I won't punish you, don't worry."

Abraham walked in with his head lowered to the floor ,and his steps hesitant. A small demon in his brain warned him not to go in, but he had been through so many humiliations ,and abuse by his mother he was wholly used to the self-blame ,and loathing she inflicted on him.

"Okay, mommy. I'm coming, just don't hit me, I don't want to cry, I'm tired of it." Her Mona Lisa smile ,and sweet angelic face welcomed him, and he smiled in embarrassment.

"Come by my side. I'm making room for you. You're a big boy now,

,and I'll teach you what to do, I'll teach you how to please mommy, maybe you'll end up being better than your father! The impotent drying me out instead of getting me wet."

She laughed in enjoyment, and Abraham, who didn't understand her meaning, realized that she was laughing about his father he hated so much and joined in on her laughter. He sat by her side, shyly, peeking, curiously, and uncomfortably. She threw her dog uncaringly from the bed. Abraham suddenly felt his mother's hand taking his hand and placing it on her legs. He cried, "Stop it, mommy, what are you doing to me? I don't want to, let me go, or I'll tell daddy ,and everyone what you're doing to me! Let me go. Stop, I beg you not to."

She slapped him across the face cruelly to quiet him down. He felt terror in his mind.

"Stupid, you'll do whatever I tell you to do ,and won't interrupt what I'm doing to you, or I'll give a beating so hard you won't have the strength to cry! Don't annoy me now or I'll kill you! Okay, my precious?"

He pushed back his hand from her body while crying, screaming as he escaped from her room hysterically.

"I don't want to be near you, leave me alone, I hate you!"

She giggled evilly ,and answered him, "I don't need you anymore. .

.get out of my room and go back to your stupid toys." She picked up her dog and kissed him in a good mood! Abraham was looking at her ,and the dog in hatred. His mother screamed,

"Don't you dare tell anyone what you did to me today? You did something horrible ,and if I tell a cop, he'll take you to jail ,and you'll never return home. You'll be in prison for the rest of your life! But I promise I won't tell anyone. . .,and you know why Abraham? Because you're my son ,and I forgive you. "

"Mommy, I promise not to tell anyone what happened. I want to stay home. . .don't want to go to jail," Abraham continued on his way ,and closed the bedroom door silently as his mother continued to pet the dog. He sat in his room crying.

"It's my fault! Mommy should not have had children! It's my fault, I hate mommy! I hate her!" Abraham's consciousness returned to the present ,and he found himself lying in bed crying.

"You shouldn't bring children to the world, it's my fault. I hate me.

mother! Hate my mother!"

He was back to his childhood. Two days passed from the traumatic event he had experienced. His father was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper smiling satisfactorily as his mother was in the bedroom, smoking ,and looking at a naked men's magazine. She sighed to herself. Abraham was playing with the dog by the road. After a while, he returned home alone ,and watched a kid's show that sometimes raised a smile on his face. His father asked his mother,

"Where's sweet Loxley? My sweet poodle? I made him a bowl of food. . .he needs to eat and go out. Isn't he in the room?"

"He isn't here, idiot! Go look for him, feed him ,and take him out, get out of my sight" He left the house with his head lowered ,and yelled loudly, "Loxley! Come to mommy, Loxley!" After a few minutes, a hysterical scream was heard by the road.

His father burst into the house, crying, "Loxley is by the road. Come see what happened to him, come quick, it is horrible." His mother left the house running. Abraham wanted to go too, but his father stopped him.

"Stay in the house, Abraham. It's better that you don't see Loxley now, he's dead,and we must bury him." His father ran towards the road again as his mother screamed in horror. Abraham stood in the doorway, smiling.

"Loxley, he's dead, he got run over, what am I going to do now? How can I live without my Loxley?"

Abraham sat on the bed in his room, cleaning the blood ,and skin off the hammer he stole from his father's toolbox. He put the hammer back into the box ,and placed the bloody rag in a plastic bag ,and threw it in the trash.
