6: Across the Endless river

*During Helen's Labour*

*Across the Endless river*

A king was seated on his throne made entirely of gold and fibre. He sat lazily like he was bored of life.

Suddenly, he sat upright, he felt a strong demon Aura growing stronger by the minute.

A man dressed in an honourable attire who stood by the king noticed his sudden movement and asked, "Great Lord Bolta, what worries you so?"

"Ashley, I just feel a strong Aura oozing from someone of our kind and I can't tell where it's coming from. Don't you feel it?"

"I do and I can tell that someone of our kind is being born. Forgive me my Lord but the aura resembles the kind you carry. It feels like the aura of a king." Ashley replied.

"Yes such a strong Aura cannot be ignored." Bolta said standing up, "The same aura that was felt when Don, my son was being born."

My Lord, do you think great Don is a father.?"

"But how? I do not recall Lucia to be pregnant. She was here few weeks ago. Or...."

The king was deep in thought "did Don have a concubine that bore him the child?"

Ashley replied "That can't be, all the succumbusts are complete. It must be that Great Don took a concubine from somewhere else." The King's special advisor, Ashley suddenly said "My lord, the aura is fluctuating yet still strong. It could be that the demon being born is not of royal blood."

Bolta did feel the energy fluctuating,, "I'm proud of Don for quickly taking a concubine, it shows that he knows what to do when Lucia fucks up but if it's not a royal, that means Don had a mere woman and not a royal succubus

which makes me angry. But nevertheless, a royal is a royal. I know Don would not bring him home so I will take him. Send Drake and the others to get me my heir. Don rejected me and his mother, Sheeran, I can't afford to be rejected by this one too."

Not long after, a tall, muscular and handsome man came into the throne room.

"My Lord, I will get you your heir". The man bowed to show respect.

"Go now" the impatient king waved his hand and shooed the man away.

...

Helen just gave birth to Creston, her adorable bundle of joy. Creston had been taken by the nurse to receive a wash. Helen was also getting cleaned up. After that, she was given refreshments (good food), to replenish the energy lost during the childbirth. Once she was done eating and all charged up, she wanted to see her sweet child. The nurse brought her Creston and she carried him and admired his new, flawless face. She had tried to reach Don and tell him that she was pregnant but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get to Don.

So that was how Don used her and abandoned her like a tissue paper which he uses and throws away. After that day she left, the last time she and Don spoke, they never saw each other again till she died.

Helen and her parents were playing with the newborn bundle of joy when suddenly..

BANG~~

The ward door banged open, three hefty men and some terrible looking... dogs?

My God.

Those animals were too ugly to be called 'dogs'. When they entered the ward, the first persons they looked at was Creston and his mother. They glared. at them for about two seconds and then one of the men signaled one dog and it went for the mother and child.

Helen, her parents, the nurses and absolutely everyone else in the room were so scared, they couldn't move.

It was a large labour room, it was also private so not just any body could come here. When they saw those terrifying people, they new something was amiss.

Once Helen noticed the dog's target was her, she didn't need to be told twice, she yelped for help. It was as though time froze, for the doctor, her parents and the nurses to just stand there and not act, Helen found it quite dumb.

Finally, Helen's dad decided to act. He picked up the first thing he could hold (which was a vase) and with all his might, he threw it at the dog's head. It happened so fast but yet so slow. The flower vase broke on its head. It paused for a moment and then made Helen's dad it's new target.

Everyone started to act, Helen got up, carried Creston and was going to run away when, the hefty guys released the rest dogs making it four dogs now then they locked the door.

The dogs were wild, attacking anyone at all. Helen's mom gathered courage and picked up a broom and started wacking a dog mercilessly, the doctor and nurses joined in too. When you're fighting for your life, it doesn't matter how primitive your style was; so long as you're safe.

That statement was perfect for the scene right now. Helen just stood there and watched as everyone were fighting for their lives and that of hers and Creston. She wanted to join but her dad instructed her to leave thru the emergency door, she was reluctant then her dad shouted at her saying

"NOW," "You and your son must be safe, now leave! Save me and your mother's grandson".

Tears welled up in her eyes and she did as she was told. She tried her best to force her way through the chaos and get to the escape door. As the heftiest man saw her leaving, he was about going after her, when Helen's mother hit him with a fire extinguisher, she used all her might, but it was as if this guy wasn't a human because if he was, he would have fallen down or at least show signs of pain but no, this guy didn't even flinch instead, he glared at her and grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the floor. Helen's dad saw this, he was angry, he used a surgery knife to stab the dog in his way, he was going to do the same to the guy toturing his wife but as he took a step forward -

Pow~

He got punched hard on the face by the second guy. The punch was so strong that he found himself flying across the room with a bloody nose.

Helen's mother felt her head throbbing, she found it difficult to breathe, no, air was stopped from getting to her lungs. She could feel herself slipping away, her vision getting darker, then finally, she gave up the ghost.

The man let her go, allowing her dead body fall down with a thud, without a single remorse or glance, he walked away. He snapped his fingers and the dogs came to stand by him, along with the other two men then, they left.

Helen's dad was so sad, his wife died, his daughter and grandson are on the run away from those b*st*rds. He didn't know what they wanted, where they came from and why the hell they chose to attack his family. All Helen's father wanted was death. He reached for the knife and was going to stab himself to death then the half dead doctor urged him to stop but he ignored the doctor and...

*STAB*

There wasn't much the doctor could do, those dogs nearly killed him, they practically left him half dead. He was weak and couldn't stop the man who killed himself.
