Chapter 27: Monster inside

"No, no, no, no. Mum,please. No." Carly screamed as she tried using her hands to block out the blood that was gushing out as tears streamed down her eyes.

"Carly, why?" Her mum was able to mutter out staring at Carly with accusation filled in her eyes.

"I though it was only a demon or a shadow. No, mum please stay with me. I'm going to get you help." Carly begged as she thought of stopping time and trying to find a cute.

"Of course, your love for the demons and shadows were always profound. That's how you made a mess of grandma's life. After taking her demon, she was no longer herself. I should have known that your stupidity was going to cost me my life." Carly's mum managed to say with all the strength and willpower left.

Her voice was gagging due to the blood flow.

"Mum..." Carly whimpered as her mums word were cutting deep into her heart like a machine searing flesh.

"Yes, you're a killer Carly. You were never meant to be here. Your presence would only bring more death to this city." Her mum managed to conclude before she shut her eyes and let the darkness sip in.

"Mum.." Carly called one last time as her mother's eyes closed and for a moment, Carly wished she was in a daze and would be able to recover.

But this was real and happening.

She had killed her mother!

Her mother was right... She was a murderer.

And her presence was only going to bring death.

Carly was immobile like she had just gone through a panic attack but fee down she knew that what she had just faced was worse than a panic attack.

She just got to face the bitter truth if her life that she wasn't ready to face yet.

She was evil and disaster.

But now wasn't the time to fawn over death.

The villagers could come in any time and find out about what she had just done so it would be better if she concealed the death till the time was right.

She had just found out a big truth today but it wasn't the one of her been evil, this was the one that related to her journey.

Lord Augus created the demons, how interesting!

Going back to the library where she had gotten that eerie piece of information, she grabbed the book that was laying on the door and after her mum in her bedroom and covering her properly with a duvet, she ran out before anyone would notice what had transpired.

Her main goal was to set peter free but now that mission had changed by learning just this little.piece if information.

If Lord Augus created the shadows then there was no point trying to fight the shadows because they could be totally indestructible.

She was about walking out the door when she noticed that someone was creeping up to their doorway.

Pausing in her track, she shielded the door the instant she realized that the woman was coming towards their house.

Why now? No one should find out she had murdered her own mother in cold blood.

"Hello Carly?" The woman greeted with a hint of disbelief in her eyes that Carly couldn't help but notice.

"Yeah." Carly replied, her lips drawn into a straight line.

"You're still here. I mean, you're still in the city. Shouldn't you have left by now?" The woman couldn't stop herself from.asking and Carly rolled her eyes while scoffing.

"Do you have a problem with me staying? Matter of fact, I don't even know you." Carly shot back sarcastically.

If killing people weren't so illegal, Carly would have had the woman's throat already.

"Oh Carly darling, I'm not one of the people that would mince words with you. Literally evrryone has a problem with you staying." The woman stated smiling like she had not just said something so trivial.

"What?" Carly fired though she was fully aware that the woman was right in every sense.

"And when I say everyone, that includes your mother. Speaking of your mother, she's the one I came to see." The woman stated and Carly felt her heart fall into the pit of her stomach and she almost gasped but knew that if she was going to handle this stern woman, she had to appear as neutral as possible.

"My mom? Oh, she's not in." Carly said casually as she at the woman in the eyes.

The way the woman glared at her, it was almost like she was trying to see past Carly's physical form and have a peek at her soul.

"You're sure she's not in? Because I saw her walk right in through that door and I've been sitting beside that tree the whole time and I didnt see her walk back out. We were supposed to be visiting someone together." The woman said still giving Carly that strange glare that freaked her out.

"Well, you might have lost a few glances." Carky stated smiling nervously.

"Maybe, but I did hear a shrill cry in a voice that sounded just like hers. Wait a minute, is that blood on the floor?' The woman asked with a scrunched up face as she looked beyobd Carly's shoulders into the room.

"No, that's not blood. Its just some special effects paint. Why would there be blood here anyways?" Carly asked still trying to remain and sound neutral.

"Exactly the same thing I wondered myself. But any explanation why the special effects pain are sticked to your hands like cold blood? You were never much of an artist." The woman commented and Carly frowned for a split second because the woman wasn't letting her off any time soon.

"I guess, new passion you might say." Carly answered and the woman kept staring into the house with suspicion circled on her eyes.

"Carly, do you mind if I see some of these your paintings? I'm sure they would be beautiful art work so I'll be graced to see them first when they are still undergoing the production stage." The woman requested and Carly bit the insides of her mouth.

There was no possible way she would let this woman walk into the house to find out there was no painting and it was indeed her mothers blood sprawled on the ground.

She had made a terrible mistake at not cleaning up immediately she sent her mum upstairs.

"I don't show people my unfinished work and if you would excuse me, I would like to finish up a drawing." Carly lied as she shut the door right in the face of the woman.

Once she had locked the door, she pressed her back to it and slowly slid down wondering what mess she had put herself in.

A murderer! She had finally accepted to be one and though it hurt that such realization came from her mother, there was nothing she could do about it.

"I actually forgot that I wanted to give this to our mother, so maybe you could help me give it to..." The voice of the woman came and trailed off as her mouth hung open to the amount of blood on the floor.

"Didn't I lock the door?" Carly asked subconsciously as she stared at the woman in shock.

"You killed her, didn't you?"
