The Incubus Of Indiana

CHAPTER 1 Pt.2

burst in but it was too late…one officer was scratched in the face where his eyeball hung out as the other was slammed towards the wall with such powerful force. There was nothing left to do, I thought, as Allan came back to his way. He took a hammer and destroyed that bathroom phone. Thankfully, he went back upstairs for the rest of the day. Once he did, I turned the lights on in the storage room. Thank god he still didn’t know where I was hiding. It took me a whole 3 days after that to find that key. Still no luck, he came back down and put on his coat probably to go search for me…I saw that he had a butcher knife in his hand, which made me sob in such helplessness. I started to think that this was a horrible idea. I should’ve never invited him here in the first place…I should’ve just let him go to continue to feel saddened and alone like he turned out to deserve. My stomach was growling, it was 3 days since I'd gotten a snack, so I snuck to the kitchen which wasn’t far at all and grabbed a few cookies and soda, then rushed back to the storage room.

I decided to look in all of the bins where I hadn't looked. After 2 more days…I gave up. I thought of committing suicide and nearly did. I grabbed a rope and a chair to hang myself so that my heart could be free from this beast called the incubus.

It wasn’t until I heard a chingly noise, sounding like keys. I heard what…appeared to be a cat. I saw four snow-white paws standing at the storage room’s door. He had dropped the key that I'd been looking for for so many days, now about 2 or 3 weeks! I snapped out of it and quickly opened the door to grab the key as I patted the cat on his head. Strangely…the cat’s collar was labeled ‘’Thomas’’ Hmmf, interesting. My ex-boyfriend had that same name, which was rather cute. I placed him outside, and I decided to keep him as a pet. I saw him being treated badly on the streets before, so I decided to care for him once I had escaped out of the basement’s secret exit room. I saw Allan parking so I quickly grabbed Thomas and placed him in my purse, which was rather big like a backpack, and hopped on the train. The next few days I spent time in motels. I was able to contact Brenda and my boss and told them I was kidnapped in my own house. Brenda visited me at the motel and we talked all day. ‘’Oh Brenda, it was horrible. He would bathe me like I was someone with special needs or a child. This cat, he saved me.’’ Brenda started crying a bit but I told her I would be alright. ‘’As long as that maniac doesn’t know where you are right now…I think he will eventually, since now I know that it is officially a real life incubus. Oh Becky, you have to fear for your life right now, that’s not normal as a human being to be dealing with something like that. I’m just glad I at least got to see you. That cat is a keeper, never let anything happen to him.’’ I then nodded and said ‘’Of course, I’d do anything in my power to protect Thomas.’’ Days and weeks passed, I started to feel back to normal and experienced no paralysis, but I did get a few nightmares about Allan since the deal wasn’t finished. I went to the mall to finish working until my boss told me that I had an anonymous call waiting for me. I knew who it was.

I answered as my boss went outside the store for his lunch break. ‘’Cindy…beautiful, is that you my love?’’ I then gasped and replied ‘’Leave me alone, Allen. We’re through with the deal. You can’t hurt me anymore, okay?’’

He then replied ‘’No, no, no I don’t wanna hurt you, I just want to apologize for all the horrible things I’ve done to you and that I love you. You don’t have to come back, I’ll make you come back to me. My chest hurts and I’m all alone. I’m starting to feel sick without you. Remember about the deal? I’m losing and…you’re winning.’’ I then listened to his voice in shock, he sounded like he was indeed getting ill without my heart to feed off of yet. He sounded so hoarse and frail, he was dying like he deserved it. I didn’t accept his apology as he then replied to my refusal ‘’I figured that but it wouldn’t stop me from trying to find you & finally hold you in my arms once again.’’ (he then hangs up as I cover my mouth frozen in shock) Brenda listens to the whole conversation as I look behind me. ‘’Oh god…he really is real. I heard him, Cindy. You have to go to the exorcist, and that book needs to be burned in the trash. It is said to have unintentionally attracted a variety of entities to the real world, mostly incubus and their female counterparts, as well as vampires. I just found out today, oh Cindy…this is all my fault. I feel like Pandora who had just opened up a box full of nothing but darkness!’’ I then tried to calm her down ‘’Listen, you didn’t know w***e s**t. It’s not your fault, Brenda. I’ll figure out how to get rid of it. Burning won’t help. I tried it but failed. We’ll try the exorcist thing first, but I’m more curious about hiring a medium.’’

CHAPTER 2: PLAN B

I went and stayed at another hotel too. This one was cheaper, which was the plan anyway, since I get to stay much longer. I had to avoid the mall area since Alan had access even there to the phones.

I felt safe and so did little Thomas. I had fun, went swimming, was served meals throughout the days and went to nice local spots. I was living better, sometimes Brenda would join me on girl’s night out.

Brenda says: Well look at you! You seem safe and sound so far. How did things go with the boss? Did he say yes?

I replied: He did! In fact, I no longer have to work there since he gets my scenario.

Brenda says: Good. Hey, there've been 20 more deaths of older pregnant women who’ve had their souls ripped out and eaten. Looks like that predator of a demonic force is gaining his health back. Just be careful, okay girl?

I say: Well, I have to be. The amount of flesh he’s collected, his brain would start working a lot better, which isn’t good, and he can easily teleport to places he knows little of.

Brenda adds: This is truly scary to even think about. Let’s just stay in your hotel tonight, okay? We’ll order Chinese food and watch TV.

I agreed: Sounds like a plan. Egg fu yung sounds like my here and Pepsi, what about you?

Brenda says: Definitely pork dumplings and lo mein….with Pepsi.

I then agreed: Haha, oh okay. If you win, I’ll get that instead.

We sat on the couch watching TV and eating our dinner. I fed Thomas a little, he seemed satisfied and fell to sleep on my lap.

Brenda says: Aw, he seems full now. Haha, so….Brenda. I’m coming up with a new project soon. I’ll be making 5 more books. My boss is gonna flip if I don’t finish on time, you know.

I then answered: Hey no worries, I’ll help you out.

Brenda replies: How?

I say: I’ll offer you feedback, advice and tips. I’ll also design your covers too, if you’d like.

Brenda replies: Wow! Oh gosh, thanks Cindy. You are such a big support.

I say: Of course no problem. Say, open up your fortune cookie.

Brenda says: Okay, let’s see….(opens it)

It says….I will succeed with my recent task!

I say: Of course you will. I’ll help you anyway. Haha.

Brenda replies: Haha, your turn.

I then explained: I-I don’t think it’s the brightest idea for me. It could be negative. (opens it out of curiosity, eyes widen in anxiety)

Brenda questions me: What?

I then said: Look, Brenda…. By tomorrow, make sure to leave before 6pm okay?

Brenda asked me: Oh my gosh, Cindy why?

I then stated: It said ‘’Someone is on his way here before then. Brenda, we gotta pack our things and go.

Brenda says: You’re right. I know the place. My Aunt’s cabin. No one is allowed there. So this will be perfect!

It was indeed 1 day later, Brenda and I packed up and headed to her car. I placed Thomas in a cage in the back seat as Brenda and I sat in the front.

I pointed to Alan’s car: There he is! Over there!

Brenda says: Okay, I park behind here. (she parks behind a huge fence.)

I asked: Why is he talking to the lady?

Brenda asked me: She works at the hotel?

I answered anxiously: Yes!

Brenda tells me: Shh, I wanna hear what he says….

Clerk asked Alan: Hmm, sir? How may I help you?

Alan says: Thank you, I just wanted to know if a woman by the name of Cindy is still here? You see her and I had a fight and I’ve been looking for her for what feels like ages.

Clerk replies: Yes, so I’m terribly sorry but she just left. I don’t know where she went. But hey, she could be back and is just going for a little stroll.

Alan says: I wish….(he gets in his car and drives off)

I then insisted: Let's follow him, and see what he’s up to.

Brenda says: I’m so eager.

It was hours after we followed him and ease dropped. What we witnessed was horrid. We saw him picking up a female at the bar and he then lured her into the woods. We then heard screams. It wasn’t the first incident we saw that day.

Brenda gets squeamish: Oh my gosh….(crying) I can’t look. Cindy, please let’s just go to my Aunt’s and call the police.

I then tell her: Yes, we’ll do that in a minute. We have to get more proof.

Brenda tells me: We have like 5 photos of the locations, 2 of that maniac and loads of those bloodied victims. What more?

I then replied: You're right, let’s roll.

So we headed to her Aunt’s house. She greeted us with warmth and fixed us a nice warm apple pie and cappuccino.

Brenda asked: That was delicious. Say, how long can we stay about?

Aunt answers her: I would say for as long as you’d like, just no more than a year, girls.

I then say: Perfect.

Aunt asked me: What a cute little kitty you girls have there? Oh, Thomas, isn't it? He’s the protector here, though?

Brenda answers: Haha, well. Yes, he’s the man of the crew.

Aunt says: Alrighty now, I’ll make sure to buy some cat food later. Meanwhile, you girls had better bathe and nap. It’s almost 11pm.

I answered: Will do, mam.

So we went upstairs and took a nap. A day later, on the news. About 5 hotels were bombed that night. I couldn’t help but to sob in tears as Brenda held me with Thomas on my lap, stroking me for comfort.

I said in tears: If he loved me, then why would he want me dead? He did this on purpose because he knew I was staying at a hotel.

Brenda then replies: He wants you gone. You should know that already. He literally flipped when he didn’t get his way with you yet.

Aunt asked us: Oh poor thing, what's going on?

Brenda answers: We have bad news, Aunty. The hotels here are no longer accessible. They’ve been bombed and set on fire.

Aunt states: Oh goodness, where's my bible! (exits the scene)

Brenda questions her Aunty: The hell is a bible gonna do? (mumbles to herself)

I then said to Brenda: Look, it’s okay. We hopefully we will be safe here.

(That same day, once we went downstairs, Aunty fixed us something with delight.)

Aunt asked us: Alright, I’m fixing bacon and cheddar cheese omelet. Sounds agreeable, girls?

Brenda answered: Sounds good to me.

I then stated: Can’t wait, I’m starved.

Brenda tells me the good news: So about the task, I succeeded! My boss loved all of my books except for one, which is okay.

I then congratulated her: Congrats, girl. I told you even without my help.

Brenda then says: You were right. Hey, can we have orange juice for breakfast?

Aunt says: Alrighty, of course you can, I’ll make a few biscuits too in the oven.

Brenda asked me: Let’s call the police now, okay?

I then agree: Good plan. (dials 911)

A police woman then asks us: What seems to be the problem?

I then explained: I have the pictures of the Indiana maniac! I have followed him and taken pictures of his victims.

Police say: Even though that was not the best idea to go and spy and not do anything, we sure did need some evidence. Come by our office tomorrow sharp!

I answered: Yes!

Brenda asked: Did it work?

I then replied: She said to meet her tomorrow sharp!

Brenda says in relief: Oh thank goodness!

Aunt also says in relief: I’m happy to hear the good news, girls! Here’s your meal and drinks.

Brenda thanks her Aunty.

I then stated as I ate my food. So, I found the address for the police station. We'll get there in no time.

Brenda replies: Indeed. That spawn may be witty, but I’m not gonna allow him to end your life. That’s final.

CHAPTER 3: POLICE?

As I sat at the police station, I noticed Alan was in the police car! I couldn’t believe my eyes.

The woman says: So we had a call the other day, and it turns out here that this man is the killer and was the cause of those hotel disasters. Tell me, how’d you know him?

I then stated: Well….it’s a long story. You would never believe me anyway.

She then states: Oh come on, it can’t be that bad.

I then answered very annoyedly: He’s a goddamn incubus! There, happy now?

She then laughs at me: Haha! Nice try, now tell me the damn truth!

I then yelled at her: That is the truth, lady!

The police woman then says: Oh really, so an Incubus just falls from the sky and lands in your face out of nowhere. If he was, he would’ve been teleported out of that rusty ass police car now, wouldn’t he?

I then asked her: Why not look for yourself, madam?

Police Woman (stares at me confused and then slowly looks behind her out the window. Officers surround that car as they see no sign of Alan at all but the smokey mist he left behind.)

I then say: I told you, he’s real….and he wants every little crumb of my soul.

The Police Woman was then shocked and stated: Oh my god….fellas, start searching around! Hurry for f**k's sake!

Brenda and I drove back to her aunt's. We sat in the kitchen again, waiting for supper. She cooked baked potatoes and fatback cabbage soup. As a fan of dry fatback, I couldn’t wait to try it in soup.

Brenda says: So, Aunty. You wouldn't believe what happened earlier….he just vanished.

Aunty then says: That’s not normal one bit. That’s a demon, I told y'all to hold on to that bible whenever you’re out and about.

I then say: Finally, at least you believe me.

Aunty replies: Of course dear. I had the same issue way back in my days as a young teenage girl. It was a tall, handsome redheaded man who greeted me in the woods, then raped me and I never saw him again. It turned out he was not human, he came from the other side. To this day, this is why I moved here away from Italy.
