A molevolent creature

[📖NOVELIST] Pull up a chair and let me tell you a tale unlike any other. It's the story of the Tiyanak, a malevolent creature that takes on the form of an innocent infant in order to lure in unsuspecting victims. The night sky was full of stars as two young parents, Gina and Mark, stepped out of the hospital holding their newborn baby girl. Gina's pregnancy had been a difficult one, so it was with immense joy that they took their bundle of joy home to finally start their life as a family.

As the days went by, the couple started to notice something strange. Every night, around the same time, their daughter would let out a piercing cry that would wake them both up. As they quickly rushed to her side to check on her, they would find her fast asleep, with no indication that she had been crying at all. This continued every night, and Gina and Mark grew increasingly concerned for their daughter's health.

One night, unable to take it any longer, they decided to consult their neighbor, an old woman who was known for her knowledge of the supernatural. As soon as the old woman saw their daughter, she knew immediately that they were dealing with a Tiyanak, a malevolent spirit that every so often takes the form of a baby in order to lure in unsuspecting prey. The creature would cry, and its unsuspecting victim would come to its aid, only to realize too late that they were in the clutches of the Tiyanak.

The old woman explained that the only way to get rid of the Tiyanak was to trick it into revealing its true form. She instructed Gina and Mark to place a bowl of uncooked rice next to their daughter's crib before going to bed and to not enter the room no matter how much she cried.

That night, as the cries rang out once again, Gina and Mark struggled to resist the urge to check on their daughter. As the cries grew louder, they heard a strange noise, a low growl coming from the baby's room. Suddenly, the cries stopped, and the couple held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.

After a few moments, they finally heard the sound of a baby's laughter, but it was not the sound of their daughter's sweet giggles. In a flash, the creature transformed before their eyes, revealing its true form- a grotesque, misshapen demon with sharp fangs and claws. The creature was surrounded by a sinister glow, and an unearthly energy filled the entire room.

Gina and Mark were terrified, but they stood their ground, determined to send the evil creature back to where it came from. The creature lunged at them, but they were prepared, as they had gathered all the materials they needed for the exorcism. Using pure salt and holy water, they purged the creature's evil presence from their home.

When they emerged from the room, their daughter was peacefully sleeping, free from the creature's malevolent influence. The couple hugged each other, grateful for their neighbor's wisdom and for their own courage in the face of terror. They knew that they would never forget their encounter with the Tiyanak and that they would be forever grateful for their daughter's safety. From that day forward, they were determined to never give in to fear and to always seek the truth, no matter how strange or terrifying it may seem.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, but Gina and Mark never forgot about their encounter with the Tiyanak. They often found themselves discussing it late into the night, still in awe of the creature's terrifying power and the bravery they had summoned to vanquish it.

Although they had initially been hesitant to discuss the incident with anyone, they eventually decided that it was important to share their story with other new parents. They started attending support groups and community events, speaking out about the dangers of supernatural entities and the importance of always being prepared for the unexpected.

Their message resonated with others, and soon enough, they had become something of folk heroes in their local community. People would come up to them in the street, thanking them for their bravery and sharing their own experiences with the paranormal. Gina and Mark realized that they had a newfound sense of purpose- to educate and protect others from the things that they had once been so afraid of.

As time passed, their daughter grew taller and stronger, and the memory of the Tiyanak gradually became just that- a memory. But every so often, late at night when they were alone, they would look at her sleeping form and remember the terror that had once filled their lives.

It was on one of these nights that Gina heard it again- that same piercing cry that had so haunted them in the past. At first, she thought she was imagining it, but as the cries grew louder, she realized with a start that it was not her daughter making the noise.

She turned to Mark, who had heard it too, and they both rushed to their daughter's room, their hearts beating fast with fear. As they threw open the door, they saw the creature- the Tiyanak - hovering over her crib, its malevolent gaze fixed on their child.

Without hesitation, Gina and Mark sprang into action. They called on all the courage they had amassed over the years, all the knowledge and all the strength that they had shared with others. They fought against the creature with all their might, until it finally dissipated into nothingness, to go back to where it belonged.

After the creature was gone, the couple looked around the room, their hearts filled with relief and gratitude. They knew that their fight against the supernatural would never truly be over, but they also knew that they had each other and that together, they could conquer anything that came their way.

So when they went back to bed that night, still feeling the adrenaline rush from their battle, they held their daughter tight, and they dreamt of nothing but peaceful nights to come.
