Chapter four part 2
"Ilina tell me about the monsters" I asked I imagined them to be part of her psychotic hallucinations.
"Well after Tim's episode that night I finally got to see the Feeders and I can only describe them as monsters..
We were both so tired that night I actually never got up to fix Tim's breakfast. I was having such a deep peacefull sleep. Tim and I had reconnected and in his arms I felt safe and drifted off into a wonderfull deep sleep.
I didn't even hear the alarm or Tim leave that morning at his usual 5am wake up time. It was in this deep sleep state that I was summoned by the pale woman again into my recurring dream place.
It began as it usually did with me sitting next to the pale woman and listening to her words. This time I had prepared myself to be more in charge of the dream sequence.
When I sat down next to her I began to question her. "If I am to spend every night talking with you I want you to give me your name" I told her as I sat down. After a long pause she told me her name was Rebecca Atkins. She asked me please not to say her name outloud. Something about if you name is known it gives more power to evil entities to manipulate you. She said her baptism name was secret and that was what protected her to certain extent from the feeders.
I looked at her face and there were scratches all over it. She noticed and told me that occasionally when she was at the wrong place they would attack her in retaliation for trying to speak with me.
I asked her to tell me about the feeders and how I could fight them. She said they were at one time a great people they had reached great sucess in their civilization. They had been direct decendants from the Watchers who were Guardians of their world.
But the Ruler of the Watcher's was displeased with their mingling of seed with their people and he destroyed their world. He banished them to the astral realm and bound them there. The astral realm damaged their bodies and transformed them into hideous forms.
Because they had imortality their torment was eternal. While their material bodies decayed so did their reason. So they had become monsters who only expressed hate and a predatory hunger.
I shivered at Rebecca's words. "Tell me Rebecca if they are bound to this world how is it that they can cross over to our world?"
"he Watchers took pity on their offspring and what they had become and opened gateways to allow them entrance into their old world which is now our world." Rebecca explained.
"Some of these ancient gateways are quite hidden and isolated from men but wherever a drop of blood has been spilled in hate and violence a temporary gate is open and if a feeder is nearby and it is disturbed within our realm in anyway it remains open until shut by "The Ruler" who you and I know as God or his Agent known to us as "The Lamb"
My mind was spinning with all she told me. This was related to our world, our creator, his enemies and by proxy our own enemies.
I knew there was a gateway in my home from the murders that had taken place there. I also knew it had been disturbed by the renovation of the previous owner and our own work done on the house.
Just then as these thoughts filled my head I heard a slithering noise in front of us in the woods.
"What the hell is that??" I shrieked. "Sit down! Rebecca shouted. "they cannot cross the tombstones unless you feed them!"
"Feed them!?" I was so confused feed them how?
"Your fear, hate, sadness, dispair is their food" she explained. "The ground we sit on is blessed a Priest comes a blesses it for his dead Mother. Because it is blessed it is a safe place for all humans." She explained.
I tried not to give in to my terror and I did as Rebecca had said.
"This is a family of feeders that have found your gateway. They want to scare you so they can feed."
I looked at the slithering monsters. I could feel a scream trying to escape my throat.
There were three forms approaching us. The first one I saw was small like a child. Yet it was on fire and it's face was hideously contorted. There was anther form that appeared female and it's body was bent backwards and she crawled on her forearms toward the tombstones. The other form just appeared dark and large male shadow form in the background.
The slithering female called out to me in a high pitched almost cartoony voice. "IIIIIiiiiiiiinnnnnaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Your baby is dead give him to us" it said with ghoulish glee.
"Look at my baby......he will enjoy playing with yours!" The hideous small being hissed and the fire around him grew taller. I felt myself fainting from fear.
Rebecca was now yelling at me "Do not listen to their words your fear is breaking the boundary!" It was too late I was stiff with fear and nothing would shake me out of it.
"Go back to the World of Three Now!!" She yelled and just in an instant I awoke on the floor of my home face down and unable to move.
I layed there for a long time in the worst pain. I had no idea what time it was. I prayed for Tim to come home early or for Maddie the midwife assistant to finally show up. Inbetween the awfull pain I thought about what had just happened and felt the nausea of fear and revulsion at the feeder entities. They wanted my baby my God what was I going to do? Was my baby really dead like that monster had said? My mind swam with all that had just happened. I thought about how Rebecca had sent me back home. She had said go back to the World of Three. That was our world a three dimensional world. I finally fainted at some point and awoke to Maddie yelling out my name.
"Thank God! You are awake! Ilina your baby is coming you are already crowning! Angie is on her way but I don't think she will make it in time!" Maddie looked scared to death. I was too busy pushing my baby out to worry about Maddie. I felt waves go through my body of overwhelming urges to push my baby out.
"Maddie just catch my baby don't let my baby fall please" I begged.
Angie arrived just after my son was born. Maddie had done a terrific job delivering him he was perfect in every way. Angie had cleaned me up and put me in bed. It had been a quick but bloody birth and I was very weak they let me sleep while they waited for Tim to finally arrive.
We named our son Adam it was my choice it just seemed to me to be the right name for my baby since it was the name of our human forefather.
