Whisper episode 18

WHISPERS 🤫

Written by Kemmy B. Gabriel

🖤 Chapter Eighteen 🖤

The party went great, Judith had so much fun, even danced with her father which was rare. I was putting her to bed for the night, she still had a wh0le lot of presents to open, and more cakes to devour. The clan were all happy to have her around, the precious earth princess.

“Mommy,” Judith called excitedly, she refused to go to sleep, “tell me a story.”

“I just did!” I exclaimed.

“That story was good but I need to hear another one, I promise to sleep after this story, I promise.”

“Fine, what kind of story?”

“Make one for me, my happily ever after.”

“Her Hunter ever after,” Arc snorted. I rolled my eyes at him. “What? I interpreted for you.”

“Ignoring your father, I’ll tell you the story of a beautiful girl named Judith Sage Bridgestone. Judith was a vibrant young lady, as beautiful as a goddess herself. She had a moderate height, one suitable for a lady and beautiful long white…”

“Make it gold, I want gold.” She whispered.

“Okay, beautiful long golden hair. Every man wanted to marry the lovely lady, even the princes from far and wide. Judith was the daughter of a poor baker and teacher, but her beauty brought fame and fortune to her family. Princesses and noble ladies envied her, she was the most beautiful lady across nine great kingdoms.”

“I have powers, right?”

“Yeah, along with her beauty, Judith was well mannered…” Arc snorted at that, I glared dagger at him. “As I was saying, she was well mannered and a lovable person. Judith had a secret, one only her pet eagle…”

“Make it a pink bunny with beautiful long ears that shoot fireballs and lightning blast!” She shrieked excitedly.

“That’s a big imagination, but okay. Her pet bunny’s name was Tula, she alone knew Judith had magic. One day, the horrible king of a far away kingdom sent his men to visit, he had heard of the beautiful maiden and wanted her hand in marriage…”

“Why is the king wicked?”

“He enslaves his people, forces them to labour for him, pay unreasonable taxes, snatch the wives or betrothed of any he wants and steals the lands of other kings. This king is so feared, his army attacked and maltreated anyone they pleased, he was horrible. So when Judith heard he wanted her to be his thirty ninth wife, she panicked.”

“That man is horrible mommy! Even daddy is better than hi…”

“Hey! What’s that suppose to mean?” Arc exclaimed pettishly.

“It means what it means father,” she said with an indifferent shrug, “no doubt about that.”

“I will have y…”

“Arc, stop picking a fight with your four years old daughter, I repeat, FOUR YEARS OLD. Do I have to spell it out to you in capital letters?!”

“She started it,” he frined, looking away from me with childish annoyance, “you always taking her side, don’t you care about me anymore?” Not a question, a kvetch.

“Back to what I was saying,” I said with a huff, “Judith didn’t argue with the men when they came, she told them to return the next day at sunset to pick her up so she would have time to say her goodbyes to her families and friends. The men agreed and left, but immediately they did, Judith packed her things to flee. She begged her parents to come with her, the king would kill them. But they refused, saying it was their home and would rather die there, so she ran away on her own.

Days after days, Judith searched for a new home, and to make sure no one sees her, she took to wearing a mask. You see, Judith was just eighteen then. She later came across some merry men into the work of justice, she joined them but never took off her mask, lying that she had a horrible fire scar on her face. Days turned into weeks, weeks to months and months to a year. Before Judith knew it, she was the leader of the men and twenty seven…”

“A V-rgin that needs serious f-cking and…”

“Arc!” I shouted, my eyes flying open. He laughed at the confuse look on Judith’s face. “Baby, ignore him.”

“Mommy, what is V-rgin and f-cking? Uncle Qualeb mentions it a lot.” She asked curiously.

“No he doesn’t.” I lied panickingly.

“Damnit! I haven’t gotten a good f-ck for weeks, I need to get my d*ck up someone’s puss before I die!” Imitating Caleb’s voice. “He said that few hours ago.”

“I swear to God Caleb, I will murder you.” I cried through gritted teeth. Arc only laughed like a fool, bending over as he held his stomach.

“Daddy, will you tell me?”

“Of course my little vixen,” he said while controlling his laugh, “f-ck is when I have your mother on my bed…” I shut his voice, glaring murderously at him.

“Arc, are you mad?!” I shrieked telephatically. “She’s just four and has a crush on a boy. If you should tell her what the hell s€× means, what makes you think she won’t want to try it?! Have you forgotten Judith is like a curious cat, won’t rest until she finds out and try something she is curious about?! What is wrong with you?!”

“I’m ho-ny, that’s what’s wrong.”

“Seriously!”

“Daddy, I’m still here,” Judith said, her big grey eyes shining with inquisitiveness. She looked from me to Arc, waiting for her reply.

“Baby, do you know the list of words we add to your age learning?” Arc asked calmly, but I could still hear a trait of laughter.

“You mean the ones I only get to find out when I grow up?” She frowned.

“Yes. This words only works on grown up, and only when the grown up are in love. Let’s take you and Hunter for example, when you turn fifteen and then know the words, he will automatically fall in love with you…” She gasped with wide eyes, sneaky mate. “But if you learn it now, the spell will work on someone else, like he will start hating you and loving the person closer to him…”

“Jesse! No! He can’t love Jesse!”

“Then you mustn’t learn or say the words or Hunter will fall in love with Jesse, okay baby girl?” Arc winked at me as he asked. I rolled my eyes. Judith nodded vigorously, that one is settled.

“Now, what about d*ck and puss?” My eyes twitched, Caleb is dead meat.

“Oh this is good,” Arc laughed, shutting up when he saw my murderous glare. “Ahem,” he cleared his throat, “remember how I told you there are a lot of imbeciles in this world?”

“And we don’t believe or listen to the words of foolish undestinise morons?” She asked twinklingly.

“Undester-what?”

“Shh,” Arc shushed me, “yes baby, Uncle Caleb is one of the highest fool degree holder, graduated with high honours and is currently doing his masters. Don’t listen to what he says or you will be affected by his folly and stupidity.”

“And Hunter won’t like me if I’m foolish, right?” She giggled.

“Right baby, right.” He said with a decreet smirk.

“Did you use the words to get mommy to love you too?” Judith asked curiously with wide eyes filled with curiosity. I gulped as my face heated up.

“Your mother hated me, but after I let the words manifest…” He wiggled his brows at me, “she fell in love with me and we had you.”

“Yay! Do you get to use it a lot?”

Arc smirked lopsidedly, “I don’t know, honey, do I?”

“I hate you.” I muttered. He heard it and laughed.

“Don’t worry baby, when you get older, your favourite part would be the scre-ms.” He said amidst his laugh.

Dear me!

“Okay, mommy please continue your story, what happened next?” Arc sped to my side and sat behind me, resting his back on the headboard. I shifted away from him, he was up to something sneaky.

“So, Judith now the leader led her men into a lot of rescue missions, stealing from the wicked rich and giving to the poor. Her parents were killed like she expected, so she dedicated her time to making the king miserable by invading his lands and plans, stealing his items and giving or selling them out. Her magic had gotten stronger over the years, making them unstoppable.”

“Will her name be Beyonce or Judithhood?” She asked ecstatically. My eyes w¡dened as Arc finally made known his intention. He stylishly ran his hand around my h¡p, the one Judith couldn’t see.

“Er…y…no, she called herself The Mask Menace, so no one would know it was Judith the beautiful maiden of the once glorious king…oh shit… I mean, the king destroyed her village in anger…” I started stammering as beads of sweat formed in my head, he had successfully found his way to my s€× under my short skirt. The man was delusional.

“Mommy, why are you stammering?”

“Nothing, I’m trying to come up with the plot so you’d…oh my goodness! I mean, Judith…shit!…” He was messing with my head, twisting and curling my nub with his fingers, grazing the surface of my G-s₱0t with his little finger. I shifted slightly to get away from him, he used the same style to pull me back.

I had to force myself to continue the story about how she met Hunter, a fearless and the most powerful king in that universe, though he never came looking for trouble. How they fell in love and he helped defeat the evil king. While I was telling the story, Arc’s fingers worked magic, G-s₱0tting me, twisting and teasing my kernel rhythmically, prying my folds open and plunging into my w-t s€×. It made it so difficult to breathe, I couldn’t mo-n because of my daughter. Arc was nuts torturing me like that.

“That was the best story mommy, will you tell me another one?” The innocent girl asked, unaware of what her father was making me pass through.

“No baby, I have to sleep, I feel dizzy.”

“Is that why you have been sweating? Plus,” she sniffed the air, “something smells w-t and odd.”

Damn dog!

“Okay baby, goodnig…”

“Stay with me! Please, you should both hold me until I sleep, please?” I doubled over on the bed as my orgasm came in floods.

“Heh heh, sure,” I chuckled nervously. Arc slipped his hand away, chuckling darkly. I glanced at him over my shoulder, he was licking his fingers clean.

“Bastard.” I cursed telepathically. He winked at me. I rolled my eyes back to my confuse girl. She looked between me and him with mouth gaping.

“Mommy, is there something going on that I don’t know? You look tense.”

“She’s fine sharp mouth, just pissed at me.” The idiot winked at me again, this time, flashing a toothy grin my way.

“I don’t even wanna know,” she said with hands up, “sleep time.”

The sleeping was a miracle. I stayed at the other side while she slept between us. Crooned for minutes before both of them became drowsy, Arc even slept before her.

“Mommy,” she whispered, I stroke her hair to tell her I was there, “grandma says I won’t make it if I save him, I don’t mind though because I know he is meant for little sister, not me.”

“Huh? What grandma?”

“Grandma sugarberry apricot,” she giggled with a whisper. I chuckled and lowered my head on the pillow, her pretty pink pillow. “Mom, I love you and daddy so much, even if I don’t always act like I love daddy,” she suddenly sobbed, “I’ll miss you.”

“Baby, what is this again? Don’t cry, I’m not going anywhere.” I assured her, tears coming to my own eyes.

“You won’t understand, you can’t understand because your ears and reasoning has been shut. But don’t worry, I won’t let little sister’s mate die, he’ll be fine and so will you. I still love you though, you and daddy.”

“And we do too,” I k-ssed her w-t cheek and then wiped it all away. She went to sleep after that. I stayed up for a little longer before sleep took me.

“Wake up Idalia! Judith is missing!” Arc’s voice hollered in my head. I flew out of the bed, flustered and confuse. I blinked as I stared at him, duvet in my hands. “Snap out of it Ida, our little girl is gone!”

“Gone? Gone to where?” I asked dazedly.

“I don’t know, my demon woke me up, anxious over his pup. When I woke up, she wasn’t on the bed. I’ve checked everywhere, Ida I can’t sense her. Pumpkin checked the cameras, she just woke up and disappeared!” Arc was as perplex and panic stricken as I was.

“Where did she go to?!” I scre-med, everything was becoming real to me.

“I found her!” Eva shouted from everywhere, she wasn’t in her body form. “My location tracker says she is between time and space? What the…”

“Teleportation, she teleported but her powers aren’t strong enough so it’s taking time to get to where she wants…”

“Hunter,” Arc cut me off, “that is the only possible place she would go to. Ida, let’s go. Julietta, call us in case she comes back or there is a new development.”

“Yes my king.” I rushed over to Arc, took his hand and disappeared.

You won’t understand, you can’t understand because your ears and reasoning has been shut… Reverberated in my head.

Blood coated the white floor, stained the walls and almost everything in sight. Esme laughed as the last piece of stump flesh fell in a squishy thump on the floor before her. She came to destroy, she came to collect souls and she succeeded. She certainly wasn’t expecting the wh0le family to be in, laughing and enjoying their time, but it was much better. The more the merrier.

Fifteen people dead: maids, cooks, relatives, friends; slaughtered like animals with blood let to intentionally splatter on the walls and properties, for the sick pleasure of seeing the horrible sight. The wh0le house looked like a tornado swept through it, the sofas and loveseats toppled over, claw marks and blood splattered on them. The windows were shattered to pieces, the plasma television hanging loosely with a gaping h0le in the middle of the screen.

It was perfect.

“Now, where is that little boy? Come out come out wherever you are,” she called out in a singsong. Like a ghost, she floated above the floor, pale sheer skin glowing in the darkness. “Come out little Hunter, I’m not going to hurt you, I just wanna play.”

Hunter remained hidden in the closet, sobbing quietly. His mother had quickly hid him there when the unknown red haired woman appeared in their living room. He was with his mother in the kitchen, she pulled him to safety when the killing started and warned him to stay still until his Aunt came to rescue them. But what could his auntie do against a creepy mad murderer?

“Hunter! Come out! Don’t make me scare you out!” He didn’t utter a word, only cupped his mouth. His heart hammered at his chest, it frightened and aggressive rhythm echoed in his ears. Graveyard silence followed the shout, he wanted to cry so bad but couldn’t.

Then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and saw only the head of the woman grinning at him. “Ticker boo, I see you.” She whispered. Hunter scre-med and ran out of his maid’s closet. Her laughter trailed after him, her evil witch cackle.

He ran to the stairs but a force pushed him down. The little six years old scre-med as his body tumbled over, rolled down the long staircase. When he reached the landing, his face was a grotesque blood mask, his hand dislocated from it joint. His eyes looked beneath his blood mask, the blood everywhere, the pieces of human flesh butchered everywhere. Tears washed his blood, he could recognise his mother’s head.

Too much! Too much for a kid!

“Still alive?” The voice laughed, she was insane. He scre-med internally as two eyes floated above him, scaring him to the point of wetting his p-nts. “I should keep you, when you grow up you will warm my bed, isn’t that right mini Quinn?”

No reply, only sobs.

“I know, I should be done with his lineage and flush him out of my system, good idea. Say hi to him for me… Oh wait, his soul has been used to energised me.” She laughed psychopathically.

Her head appeared again and her body followed. A red haired with pallid bluish white diaphanous skin covered with little black freckles, void black eyes that matched her long high-low zigzaggery dress. Like a four legged spider, black furry legs lifted her up from the ground, she had giant four spider legs protruding from her back. The edge of her red hair was the copy of Medusa’s, the skin of her flesh missing some parts and exposing her skeleton and the worms gnawing at it. On her forearms were snake scales and black roughly cut spikes. She looked like a demon.

“Sorry if I don’t look too…” She hissed, sticking out her snake tongue, “breathtaking, part of the consequences of acquiring the powers I have now. What is beauty anyways, I never had em to begin with. I love my new look, don’t you?” She laughed as he didn’t reply. “I’ll just… Aaah! What the…!”

Esme looked over her shoulder to see a small girl, she looked at the burnt s₱0t on her back as it covered up. “Sorry honey, I heal quickly. Now who is this little sunshine of magnitude powers? My mouth is…” She hissed again, “salivating from the stench of your pow…(hiss)…wers, who are you?” She asked, turning around to face her.

“Stay away from him, don’t hurt him.” She warned with a growl.

“Roar,” Esme purred, “feisty, how I love it when my m…(hiss)..eal fights, so arousing.” She giggled, placing her hand on her cheek.

“Go away!” The girl scre-med, tears pouring down her cheeks. “Get out!”

“Okay brat, it’s fe…eding time!” The girl scre-med and backed away as the spider creature approached her with speed. She had seen this moment in her dreams countless of times, she knew what to do to save her future little sister’s mate.

A fate so heavy on her young shoulders, she wanted more. She cried for her mother, her father, her friends and herself. She was never meant to be born. With all of her little strength and life force gathered into her teeth, she leapt towards the spider woman, shifting into her demon dog in midair. Her teeth snap at the woman’s cheat, clamming down on the rotten flesh of worms and giving her a weakness, one she hoped her mother would realise when the time comes.

Esme screeched and hissed as the fire burst through her chest, shattering her spiritual and invincible barrier. The kid had permanently destroyed the barrier that would make her invincible to all her enemies attack.

“Stupid kid!” A single mighty claw spider leg lifted and plunged into the small pup, causing it to yip and then cry out. It wh¡pped her away, bashing her against a window. “My head…” Esme whimpered. She staggered back, the wh0le world was spinning.

Idalia.

She felt her presence coming near, she had to leave. Without a glance at what she had done, she disappeared into thin air.

To be continued.

Don’t comment rubbish abeg, this is the plot of the story and yes, little Judith, Emy, Chlorie and the family are dead, no question asked.

Why do you think I said I’m trying a new thing? Manage the story and please don’t piss and mo-n.
