Sacrifice of The Sleeper

They were not meant to save her.

Everything that we had worked so hard to achieve and brought fruition and they destroyed it within five seconds. They were not meant to save our sacrifice to the Creature from next door. She was meant to lie in a deathlike sleep even as it ate her from toe to head. Never meant to wake up ever again. So that our homes would be spared from what was to come for all of us.

Yet they saved her.

They woke her up and took her off the table. One of them carried her away as we screamed for them to stop. To bring her back. Give us our beautiful virgin sacrifice and ran with her to wherever they came from. Though we do not know where they came from. We will not stop at anything to get her back. I knew that these outsiders were going to be a problem the minute they heard of our ways. Those monsters weren’t even listening to us when we explained why we had to take one of our own. We had to drug her so much to keep her from seeing what was coming for her. And the look of disgust when the tall one stared at our beautiful virgin sacrifice that was raised that way from birth.

We must find them. Must find them at any cost. Even if it means going through Hell to find our precious virgin. Without her we are doomed.

The whole damn world is doomed if we don’t bring her back. From that dangerous tall man that seemed to pretend to care. Pretend to have an interest in her at all. What else would that look on his face have been? Real care? Real love? How could he provide that when he doesn’t even know her. Will never know the real her like we do. As we search for our sacrifice, we must remind ourselves to be careful. Not to kill her before we bring her to the table for the Creature from next door. If we don’t, we won’t ever have a second chance to get anyone else. There is no one else. We must find her.

But where could they have taken her to in our own country? There are no cars they could use. We made sure that their vehicles were disabled the minute they arrived. We don’t have any boats they could use anymore. The ones we had were filled with holes in preparation for this day. I personally made sure of this. And yet somehow, they elude us in our own town with our sacrifice. Who is either being held hostage against her own will. Or she might have been brainwashed into being what they want. Been brainwashed into believing that she wants what they want. To be who they want her to be, and it disgusts me that they would take her away. Keep her away from all of us and what we had worked so hard to achieve right now.

Right now, we have all split up to find them. The outsiders that had taken our beautiful little sacrifice from us. Our everything. And I would not stop until I found what I am looking for. As I round the corner, I heard our sacrifice speak,”Please. I don’t wish to die. Please…”

“Don’t worry, you’re not going to die. There’s no such thing as the Creature from next door.”,the liar vowed. God that wasn’t true in the slightest bit. There was a Creature. I was so damn sure of it. And I wasn’t going to allow this man to lie to her. To everything that we worked so hard for. As I turned the corner, I felt something sharp dig into my stomach and a scream almost burst out of me. Or it would have if the Outsider hadn’t grabbed my mouth. He drove the knife in deeper as he whispered,”No more bloodshed for a false God…”

Then the world went dark.
