Possessed...

[Julia Lilith Potter]

She took them home… she was feeling so weak after giving birth… but Alex was always there to catch her if she was about to fall…
The babies weren’t crying at all ; they seemed to be thinking about the way they got out of their enclosed universe, entering a new, endless and magnificent world.
After a few minutes, they caught sight of Alicia’s house…
“ We’ll be seeing each other again soon enough, won’t we?“ said Alex…
“ I’m not so very sure of it… if you like, you may visit me… “
“ Fine, then… I will just get going… “
In a silent hesitation, he slowly leaves… “ Maybe she’ll think twice about our relationship… after all, the twins will truly need a father… “, he thinks…
Alicia looked back at him…“ Hesitating, eh? Can’t do anything without hesitating, can we? Changing the normal sense of the word << to think >>, expected to be in your regular vocabulary…
Well, I presume I should get used to your tricky way of being… although I don’t have to…
Don’t worry… I don’t need your help, nor your affection…
And that’s because you can’t replace him… even if you think so…“
Regretting the fact that she didn’t tell him what she thinks, Alicia finds retreat in her cosy home, quietly taking the two little ones to her bedroom…
“ I can handle it on my own, can’t I? “
…

Something shines defiantly in the small kitchen…
Cold hands of uncertainty grab the shiny thing with ease … blurry signs of movement are noticed to be heading towards a children’s cot…
Babbles rise from the cot… the one possessing the strange thing seems to be unwittingly cutting itself with its sharp edges…
A knife to end everything done by dreadful mistakes…
“ Do it… for God’s sake …
Even if they are your children… they shouldn’t have been born… now you must end it all…
Do it… “
The hands are trembling… the knife’s approaching…
“ Do it… now… “
Dang…
Fell on the ground…
“ What is he doing to me? “
Alicia’s ears couldn’t hear any answer…
The knife was put away in a kitchen drawer… Sighs…
“ I’m definitely going mad… and I could use some help… before it’s not too late… “
