Prologue : The Mouthpiece

"Rita can you do me a favor??..."

Martha asks as she raises her head up with a forced smile on her face to look at the midwife.

"Yes of course, anything."

Rita replies as she walks towards the side of the bed and sits beside Martha after which she takes a hold of her palm.

"I need you to take my child and leave this place. Unfortunately I can't leave this place with him seeing that demons have broken the church's defenses. It won't be long before they reach here so I will have to stay back so as to keep them busy at least for a little while…"

Martha remarks as she attempts to hand over her child to Rita with the latter only staring.

"Martha…"

Rita tries to speak but can't find her words.

"Please just do this for me… I know that it's too much of a responsibility but I know you are the best suited for the job, so please grant me this request"

Martha says.

"Yes of course, I'll take him with me but at least name him. As his mother you have that right, so please."

Rita remarks thrusting the child back into Martha's hands.

The chaos inches closer as more explosions are heard as well as screams and cries from civilians trying to get away.

Martha looked lovingly at her child with a smile on her face with the baby reciprocating as it tried to grab her finger. Martha puts her finger closer with the child taking a hold of it and giggling a bit.

"Even his smile is just like his father. Though I'm guessing if Elijah were here he would disagree and say he smiles like me. Like a star he shines bright and so his name should reflect such a thing, yes he is my hope for the future. Of course, how about….Sirius"

Martha says as she glanced at the nuns whom all had conflicting looks on their faces, feeling torn between watching a mother perform her last rites on her son.

"That's a wonderful name."

Rita remarks breaking the silence that had overtaken the chapel.

"At least even if I can't give him the love of a father or mother neither could I bring him into a peaceful world, I'll be able to give him a nice name."

Martha remarks with a light chuckle as more tears run down her cheeks.

"Now take him and leave this place before its too late."

Martha says as she hands her baby over to Rita wrapped in a blanket with the latter collecting the child.

"I'll be leaving now, I'll be waiting for you at the shelter. Please survive and come to us soon, your son needs a mother in his life."

Rita remarks.

"I'll try my best to finish up quickly and then I'll come collect him from you, don't you worry."

Martha replies with a smile.

 

Rita takes the child and leaves the room in haste accompanied by the nuns and holy knight, leaving Martha to ruminate for a bit.

Martha squeezes the sheets a bit more as tears rolled down her cheeks before putting her head up.

 

"I'm staying for my son's safety and to avenge my husband, please give me strength…."

Martha says as she stared at the ceiling.

******************

Blood and fire bathe the church courtyard, demons walk the church grounds killing stragglers that had survived the first wave, Draco sits atop the church fence completely uninterested with the sight below and watched as the legions march into the church.

****************

Demons barge into the chapel and set their eyes on Martha fully clothed wearing a leather suit kneeling at the pew.

They all stare at each other for moment before bursting into a wild laughter at the sight before them.

 

"Oh my… even when you are about to die, you still pray to the Father, that is devotion right there"

One of the demons remarks in a mocking tone.

"I apologize for what is about to happen in your place of worship but it is necessary and so I hope it is not held against me."

Martha mutters under her breath with her hands clasped together like as though she were praying.

One of the demons lets out a sigh as she creates a flaming spear and hurls it at Martha.

Martha senses the spear and quickly dodges the spear on instinct.

She turns towards the demons that had entered into the chapel and stared at them with a killer aura exuding from her being.

"Kneel…"

Martha says in an otherworldly voice.

 

All demons that had entered the chapel abruptly fall to their knees as they hear Martha's command, with some breaking the tiles due to the speed at which they went on their knees.

 

"Kill each other…"

Martha orders in an otherworldly voice.

 

The demons within the chapel quickly take up their weapons and begin to hack down on each other with utmost brutality. Within a minute all demons that entered into the chapel are sprawled on the floor, dead at the hands of their comrades.

******************

Draco feels a strange vibe coming from the church and it peaks his curiosity.

He drops down from his pedestal and walks into the church building.

The moment he walks in, He is greeted with the sight of demons attacking themselves with no mercy.

Martha is seen standing at the church altar with a nasty look on her face.

 

"My oh my, you must be the one they call "The Mouthpiece', your power is quite feared even in hell… The awesome ability to control anyone and anything with spoken words. That right there is amazing."

Draco remarks with a nod.

"Are you the one they call Draco??"

Martha asks not minding what Draco was saying.

"Well of course, at your service."

Draco replies as he takes a slight bow.

"Good, I don't have to look for you…. Stop!!"

Martha yells out in an otherworldly voice.

 

The surviving demons inside the church immediately stop fighting and looked at Martha, almost as though they were waiting for her command.

 

"Kill Draco…."
