A demon Child

Immediately after, pronouncing those words, like a magical spell. Soon the entire room became quieter as everyone stared at the baby's back anxiously.

In the next seconds, slowly on the baby's back depicted a rough dark wiggling outline of a little snake biting its tail.

After seeing this, she furthered furrowed her brows. Followed by the low gasps and murmurs behind her, everyone began taking a peek at the baby in her arms, as their faces showed various expressions.

But none looked pleased some even seem to be afraid, disgusted and eyes filled with inconcealable contempt as they instinctively shifted from the baby, they all stared at the baby weirdly, akin to looking at something disgusting or an hideous.

The midwife slowly turned the baby, he was only a few inches and light weighted, for a baby of only an hour old he wasn't too skinny, neither was he too fat, instead he seemed to have a perfectly healthy baby pink body.

But that couldn't be all, or at least the midwife hoped for that. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have stared at the baby like some hideous monster.

The most eerie thing about the baby, was despite the fact it was no hidden mystery about how he looked perfectly like any other baby would.

However, firstly that changed when the the midwife saw the ouroboros demon mark, secondly everyone either became disgusted or afraid the moment the baby slowly opened his little eyes, from what everyone could see he was no different than a monster, since what could explain why a baby had a pitch black eyes, only meant one thing the baby was a demon child.

Meanwhile, the baby lied limp in the arms of the fat old midwife, though his eyes couldn't see clearly. It could still make out a thing or two, as his eyes swiftly adverted from left to right instinctively, trying to make the best of how bad his current situation might have become.

Within the large room, a bedridden woman was pictured in a view, she was a young woman with black silk hair and black color eyes.

She seemed like out of a masterpiece painting with a dark skin, which complemented her beauty, if it wasn't for her disheveled hair, the blue lines under her eyes, and sweat beads covering her exquisite oval carve face, her beauty would have been made more obvious.

Everything within her periphery, including the bed sheets, was stained with a mixture of yellow urine and blood. Which made her, needed an urgent warm bath.

While his eyes were void of light, the room had become pale and quiet. The Old midwife had carefully finished cleaning his body and had wrapped him up in clean clothes.

*****

Previously-before the delivery.

"What's wrong with the baby? I thought it was meant to be a girl?"

The old midwife nana had a worried and gloomy expression at the same time, earlier she had told Christine it was going to be a girl seeing a baby boy was a strange occurrence. How would she explain herself to christy?

She knew Christy from her childhood and had delivered all her babies. So she could not deny that this delivery had been strange.

The labor had been the weirdest one she had ever seen, cause it lasted for more hours than she had expected that she had no choice but to stop multiple times to avoid over bleeding. When she could finally see the baby's head sprout abruptly, she knew something must have gone wrong.

Christine was fighting with all her strength, but the baby had appeared limp. Leaving her with no other choice but to pull the baby out herself as gently as she could, only to discover that he had grabbed his umbilical cord.

After severing it, Nana had immediately followed the old rules of every male born child 'Casting a demon born detector spell', after her incantation the situation went from bad to worse, but she still tried to explained to Christy it was a baby boy, not a girl and even worse unfortunately a demon child. For a few minutes, Christy had remained silent after her delivery of the baby and sudden news.

The midwife could not help but heave a sad sigh, as she left Christy to process her emotion.

While still caught in her inner conflict, she had nonetheless still handed the mother her child. As the midwife observes to witness a miracle.

Strangely, he felt a soft and tender touch of a woman as she brought him closer to her chest region. She began to slowly embrace his little body into her arms, resonating loving words to him, that warmed his heart.

"Oh my little prince, Mommy loves you so much. I'm never going to stop loving you. Your mommy is gonna stay with you for life, and never..ever am I gonna leave your side"

The woman's voice sounded exhausted, as she quietly mumbles these words to his ear, and closed her eyes. Soon she began to slowly rocked him back and forth in her warm embrace.

But the only trace of happiness that could be seen, was from a bedridden woman that seemed exhausted with pale eyes.

Meanwhile, he lied limp on her hands, as he felt the strange thing that was amiss inside of him as if he had been punched hard in the stomach, but this only made him cursed inwardly as a liquid flowed into his mouth that left him constantly hyperventilating for air to fill his lungs, his face couldn't help but turn pale from the nausea feeling but he could barely restrain himself before puked.

After struggling for a few seconds, he finally gave up, as he felt his orifice went through the process of being blocked and then opened again, letting his flushed face and flustered mind calmed down a bit, from the fresh air that was filling his lungs.
