The Curse of 1977 (Book 2)

Chapter 39

Lynnette sat shaking on the couch with Isaiah huddled close to her while the beast lurched in front of them like a guard dog. Its fangs were still fresh and laced with Cloyse's blood that was mixed in with soapy foam.The smell and feel of the entire room was pungent to the point where Lynnette could see hazy lines in front of her amidst the candlelight.

Every so often she would glance down at Isaiah to find him dozing in and out of sleep. She prayed that he would just fall asleep for a while, or even more, altogether, just to spare him the prolonged torture that their captors had in store.

At certain points, the beast would stop right in front of them for no other reason than just to stare with its shiny eyes. Lynnette could tell that it wanted to attack both her and her child just by how loud its fangs clashed against each, making them sound like steel utensils grinding back and forth. She couldn't fathom that such a thing was actually before her.

When Isaac attacked she never got much of an chance to view the animal's striking features, but right there in front of her was something that her human imagination couldn't even conjure. It was so big and evil looking, like its anger could set fire to the entire room.The claws that it possessed were as sharp as a grizzly's; every time it moved about on the floor they could be heard loudly clicking and clacking. They looked like they could slice right through steel without a single pause. The muscles on its arms and legs which were hidden behind so much fur were substantial enough to where breaking through solid brick walls the way they had been doing in past days seemed like no trouble at all.

Then there were the eyes behind the brown fur. The burning, bright eyes that she saw the final night she made love to Isaac. It was one of the very last images Lynnette wanted to conjure, and in all honesty, it just appeared from out of nowhere. But his eyes were something that she never gave much consideration to when he first woke up with them. It was that man, and only that man that Lynnette could see in front of her.

She was aware that a woman named Akoni had changed, but Isaac Mercer still wanted to eat her and their son. Suddenly, Lynnette's shaking slowly began to draw down to a bitter ease.

"What do you tink of, mama?" Arthur asked, standing at the threshold from what looked to be the kitchen.

Lynnette jumped in her seat to find the man looking down at her. "I...I don't know what you mean." She stammered.

Arthur went over and took Isaiah from out of her arms before he grabbed Lynnette's hands and pulled her off of the couch.

Lynnette began shivering all over again as Arthur wrapped his hands into hers and began waltzing about the room while staring at her with his bright eyes.Crying, Lynnette would look back at Isaiah to see him wallowing about on the couch before looking back at Arthur who just happened to be grinning at her.

"What goes through dat head of yours, mama?" He softly uttered into her face with his smelly breath. "I watched you every night. I saw as you were having pleasure with your Isaac."

"Did...did you?" she cringed.

"Come now, are you still afraid of me?"

Instead of answering the question Lynnette caught a glimpse of Cloyse's maimed corpse still lying on the floor. Parts of his face were scattered to one side while his left arm barely hung on to the bone, making him appear like a jigsaw puzzle.

"Please...let us go."

"No, no, mama, you and baby no go anywhere." Arthur said as he unlocked his hands from hers and proceeded to then unbuckle her pants.

"No, no, don't do that!" Lynnette furiously fought back.
