Past Encounters 2

"She's here" Sam alerts in a low tone while Irye tells her family and Blake to seek refuge.

Sam turns to Irye and smiles."You ready?"He asks and Irye nods.

With her pitch black eyes, she searches through the wind yo see any unusual movements.

Suddenly the place is calm and the eerie sound coming from nowhere particular, stops. Irye looks at Sam and she received a shrug from him.

"What do you think is going on?"Sam asks rhetorically.

"Be alert!"Irye warns. "She is trying to play a trick."

Sam laughs out heartily. "Is this how you always fight her? That's why you don't win against her."

Irye just rolls her eyes and shakes her head."What did you expect?"

"Keep it down and let me show you."Sam smirks and closes his eyes. "You need to feel her movements not just her presence. I guess you ain't letting your sister take full control. You are bugging her, thinking she might hurt someone you love."

Irye doesn't get what Sam is blabbing about. It looks as though Sam is a big fan of fantasized movies, seeing the way he's acting now.

Going all too big on the situation they are in. With taking steady breaths in and out and swaying his fingers here and there. Irye thinks he really is a joke.

She keeps on rolling her eyes until Sam chuckles in a low tone.

"There she is."Sam points and Irye looks to the direction.

There, Abigail stands, glaring at them. Irye scoffs, so Sam knew his stuff after all. Irye takes her words if him being a complete joke, back.

Abigail seeing that they've found her walks to them menacingly. Her eyes on them, Sam especially.

"You really think that's all I did?"Abigail grins. "I should have kept on trying. If only I had kept on trying to kill you, I would have succeeded."

Irye freezes. It's not like gave birth to her and kept her because she wanted to. She was alive all along because her mother couldn't get rid of her. Because her mother had no choice but to free herself of the pain labor brings when she is due.

You kept protecting her huh?"Abigail continues and Irye looks around her. It can't be possible that she meant that to Sam, right? Well unless he did that secretly.

Irye look at her Uncle who's busily smiling like a clown and shakes her head. No, her mom is not talking of her Uncle. It can never be. He is too childish to be able to protect someone. Then who?

These run through Irye's head as she becomes completely lost. It is only after Abigail says something about an old hag that she jumps back to reality.

"Just because of a stupid ol' hag's curse, I had to go through all that and even end up dead because of that."Abigail shouts.

The look in Abigail eyes is terrifying. Irye still doesn't get whom Abigail is talking to.

"Just because of you. Just because you had to stop me from finishing what I started."Abigail grits.

Abigail is looking at Irye but not talking to her. Irye then assumes that Abigail is probably talking to the one she sees, her twin sister.

"How can you call yourself a mother?"Grams can't restrain herself anymore. She is normally avoiding Abigail but this time, just her talking shamelessly about killing her child, Grams tends to face her.

She lets Mae take the baby and stands up abruptly.

"You are completely the same with the devil."Grams spits. "You don't deserve to be a woman in the first place. The woman who mothered you must have suffered a lot."

Claude and Evie hold Grams knowing what she is doing could bring Abigail's wrath on them and worse, on the baby.

True fact is that, they are no match for Abigail. She can kill them just by a wink of an eye.

"You know what?"Abigail turns to Grams. "Hags like you don't deserve to live. When you can't take things in, you just put doom on others life."

Irye fists up. How dare Abigail talk to Grams like that. She is like a mother to her since her own mother abondoned her.

Sam notices and goes to whisper in Irye's ear.

"Don't let her get to you...It's good we are getting her to say her hidden truths. Just keep it in for now. You can switch to your fists anytime."

Irye forces to calm down by taking in several breaths.

"We don't deserve to live? I should be saying that to you."Grams says struggling to get out of her grandchildren's grip. "Now I know why the the woman cursed you. You were a beauty and had nice character I thought you'd be a good mother. Not knowing I let my son marry a monster.

"Shut it hag, you don't know what really happened."Abigail shouts running towards her.

Irye with the thought of Abigail hurting Grams, runs to face her.

"Oh yeah look...the saviour. I wonder why I had to give birth to you of all people."Abigail complains.

"You don't need to wonder, just need to know you'll be hit."Irye throws a punch Abigail's way and she gets hit on the forehead and kneels down.

"Yeah, this is the least you could do. Hit me back for revenge. But next, it should be me" Abigail says and stands up.

"I will make sure I end you today."She says and smirks.

"You want to kill her too?Your only daughter left?"Grams comes in.

"You shouldn't call her my daughter. She is not my daughter."Abigail yells and grits her teeth.

Irye not being able to hold back the disgusting feeling in her unconsciously bursts out.

"Why.. am I that unworthy to be called your daughter?"She asks. "You did wrong for that woman to curse you not me. Why do you want to use me as an excuse for your horrific acts."

"What did my son even see in you to have married you?"Grams asks sincerely and Abigail laughs loudly.

"You were always praising your son. Trumpeting on how perfect he is. Your son is no match for Andy. Even the most perfect Andy couldn't resist me. How much more your son."She complains to Grams.

"Because that's how a mother should be. Well I guess you don't know that of course."Grams replies.

"So is that why that woman told me I'd be locked up by two children and never be able to leave?"Abigail says and Irye exhales.

They seem to be getting somewhere.

"I don't want to know about motherhood. It sucks. How can you curse someone just because they are living and calm yourself a mother. I don't even want to hear the name,"Mother"."Abigail Replies.

"I just didn't want to stay under the marriage anymore. Is that a sin.?"Abigail says, angrily. "Can't I have my freedom to myself."

"Wait, so you were married before coming to marry my son? You left your marriage just because of money and followed my son?"Grams asks, getting where Abigail is heading to.

"When I get fed up, I should try to change situation. Aren't i right. Telling me I will give birth to two children who will bring me doom is not what someone should say."Abigail laughs.

"So I had to get rid of them myself if no one would for me. I should prevent my doom. Wouldn't you do that if you were me?"She sneers.

Irye's shaky voice catches Abigail's attention.

"Don't you cry. You don't even deserve to be alive. It's because you are alive that I died. I wouldn't have if it weren't for you."Abigail throws her hand at Irye when she is processing the whole speech her mother gave.

Sam rushes to Irye's side and holds Abigail's hand. He smirks at his wife and speaks.

"You lied...It's now my turn"
