The Devil’s Bride
By Lisa Noe

Help me! Please won’t somebody help me! Cried a voice from a cavern beneath the ground.
There lay a young woman, whose hands were tied behind her back; her feet were bound with ropes.
She lay there, tears streaming down her face, while she was engulfed in the darkness.
Meanwhile a man, whose name was Joshua Nelding, drove his red Jeep through the mountainous roads towards where the woman was being held. Joshua arrived at the cavern and while he got out of his Jeep he heard her screaming for help. He ran into the cavern telling her to shut up.

“Do you want someone to hear you bitch?”

He slapped her across the face and she screamed louder and moaned in pain. He took her and dragged her out of the cavern and over to the lake where he kissed her and then submerged her under the water. He held her head there for a moment or two and then pulled her up, he enjoyed torturing the woman. He had taken her two days earlier, and had done unspeakable things to her during that time.

“You are mine and you will do what I say, if I hear another word from you I’ll kill you, do you hear me?”

“Why are you doing this to me? I’ve never done anything to you before.”

“Shut up! You’re just like all the rest of them, a loud mouth bitch that is good for nothing but one thing.”

Joshua ran to the Jeep and took out a roll of tape and brought it back to the cavern where he placed a strip of it across her mouth. You are my gift to Satan and you will do what ever I say! I will make a gift of you for him. He took the woman and dragged her through the cavern and under the ground where there was a room created with a table. He tied her to the table and took a large knife and held it to her neck, if you are a witch you will live and if you are an innocent you will die. I will then give you as a sacrifice to my master. He took the knife and cut her wrists with it and she began bleeding profusely, he captured the blood in a silver bowl to offer to Satan. She lay there bleeding out for a very long time until she succumbed to the bleeding and died. Joshua poured the blood into a wine glass and drank it. Offering what was left to Satan, who he believed was there with him.

At the police department in Parish Kentucky, the officers were working on the case of a missing woman, Deena Siera, who had been missing for the past two days. She was taken from her home, her husband declared her missing, when he came home from work and she was not there; but instead a partially cooking meal was left by itself in the oven. She was the mother of two children, who came home to an empty house.

“Sir, we have no leads on Ms. Siera, her family is putting a lot of heat on us, they have contacted the mayor’s office who have been putting a lot of pressure on us.”

“Yeah, I know, the mayor contacted me already he said if we didn’t get to the bottom of this pretty soon he was going to call in the FBI. I really don’t want to have to hand over our case to some city slickers from Lexington.”

“Well sir, we’ll get out and do some more ground searching, we’ve already called in the cadaver dogs.”

“The sheriff says he and his men are helping out as well, now you all get out there and find that woman,”
Said the chief of police Devon Banister.

“Jenny hasn’t gotten home from school yet, she should have been home a few hours ago,” said Mrs. Della Baker, Jenny Baker’s mother.

“Have you called all of her friends?” Asked Jenny’s father.

“Yes, she never goes anywhere that she don’t ask me first for permission,” said Della with great concern.

“Well you take your car and go east and I’ll take the truck and go west, we’ll search for her.”

The two of them searched for Jenny for a couple of hours to no avail. They met back at there house at about 7:30pm . “We are gonna have to call the police, said Della. Mr. Baker dialed the police and reported her as a missing person. Usually it had to be 24 hours before a person could be reported missing but under the circumstances, police chief Banister took the report seriously due to the other missing persons report by the Sieras. “Mr. Baker, I’ll send a couple of officers out to your house right away to take a report.”

Within the hour a squad car pulled up at the Baker’s residence.

“Mr. Baker?” said officer Jones.

“Yes sir, please come in,” Said Bill Baker excitedly.

“I understand you are missing your daughter, when is the last time you saw her?” As officer Jones

Della Baker spoke up, “ I saw her before she went to school this morning, she always comes home right after school, if not she always calls to tell me where she will be, I just know something is wrong!”

“Now now dear, don’t jump to conclusions,” said Bill.

“Can you tell me what she was wearing and do you have a picture of her that I can have?” asked the other officer detective Moore.

“Here, this is a picture that was taken last month on her birthday, she is sixteen. She was wearing a pair of faded blue jeans and a white tee-shirt she was wearing white sneakers as well.”

“Does she have a boyfriend?”

“No, we don’t allow her to date, not until she is out of high school,” Said Della weeping.

“What about her friends, have you tried them?”

“Yeah we asked all of them and we contacted her teachers and everything to find out if she was at school today. Her best friend is Shelia Fritz.” Said Bill.

“Well we’ll see what we can do, is there any reason that she may have left home or ran away?”

“NO! yelled Della, she would never do that, something is wrong I tell you.”

“We are going to have to call in the FBI before anyone else turns up missing two in three days is too much,” said Chief Banister. He called the head office in Frankfort and they said they would be sending a BAU (Behavior Analysis Unit) from Lexington the next day.

Meanwhile Joshua had taken Jenny from the bus stop that afternoon, he brought her to the same cavern that he had taken Deena to. Deena’s body still lay on the table with her blood drained out. He took Jenny and tied her hands behind her back and bound her feet just as he had done to Deena.

“You are a pretty one, aren’t you?” he said to Jenny.

She cried out please let me go my parents will pay you a lot of money to release me.”

“You are a virgin, I can just feel it, you will be Satan’s bride, he will be happy with me for finding you for him.”

Jenny screamed and resisted his touches. He took her face in his hand and told her that she would be his gift to the mighty devil himself. He took Jenny to the back of the cavern to where the room was in the back. There lay Deena bled dry by Satan. Joshua brought her over to where Deena lay and Jenny began screaming.

“Don’t fret my dear, your not going to end up like that you are a virgin, you will not be a sacrifice you will be the bride, you will lay with Satan and bare him a child. You will be a very special young woman in deed.” He shoved her to the ground and took the body of Deena and buried it in the woods.

A sharp noise could be heard in the cavern and Jenny was frightened. It began to come closer it was a scratching type noise as if something or someone was scratching the walls of the cavern with something sharp.

“Who is there?” she inquired.

There was no answer, but the sound kept growing closer and closer. It grew darker and then a flame could be seen coming from one of the tunnels in the cavern. The flames grew closer as did the scratching noise.
Jenny screamed and then there it was an evil looking man but this was no man and somehow Jenny knew this. It was Satan, His eyes were red, not bloodshot but red in color, his skin was dark with a reddish tent to it. He had long hair, matted together and whiskers on his face he looked dirty. He came over to her and picked her up and laid her on the table, where Deena had been murdered hours earlier.

He stared at her and put her in to a trance, he untied her hands and feet and unclothed her, he then lay with her to consummate a child with her. Then Joshua came back from burying Deena by which time Satan had finished his task and now Jenny was with child. It would be the Anti-Christ and Joshua would take care of her and keep her in the cavern until the baby was born in six months. As it would not have to go the full term of nine months because it would be the Devil’s spawn.


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



The FBI was out looking for Jenny, They questioned all of her friends to no avail, the case would go on for months with no clues whatsoever. Meanwhile, another girl would turn up missing and the police and FBI decided all three of the missing women were related probably taken by the same person. The newest victim is a thirty-one year old woman who had been missing for 24 hours…
This time, however the missing woman, was seen with a man with long brown hair in a red Jeep.

Joshua took Stella, a nurse; to help deliver the baby, as it would soon be time for the Devil’s spawn to be born. He took her to the cavern and tied her up.

“You will have an important job to do, and if you don’t help with delivering this baby then you’ll end up dead I assure you of that.”

He tied her up until she was needed and he left to find some fresh blood for Satan.

“How long have you been here?” ask Stella of Jenny.

“I don’t know but it feels like a long time.”

“What’s your name honey?”

“Jenny Baker”

“Jenny, have you been here every since he took you, I know about you I remember when they were looking for you, you’ve been gone at least five or six months! Has he kept you here that whole time?”

“Yeah I think so”.

“Is this his kid your gonna give birth to?”

“I don’t know, I don’t remember laying with him, but I have never been with anyone before.”

“Well you’ve clearly been with someone, don’t worry I’m here to help you give birth to the child.

“You better do what he says to do or he’ll kill you, cause when I first got here I remember a woman who was lain out here dead when I first arrived, he took her off out of here though.”

Joshua was out scouting around looking for a new girl to bring as a sacrifice to Satan, as it had been a while since his last gift. He saw a young woman getting out of her car at the park to walk around the walking trail, he grabbed her, throwing her in his Jeep. He brought her to the cavern and took her to where the other women were. He threw her to the ground and raped her, he then strapped her to the table and took a knife and slid it across her neck, capturing the blood in his silver bowl. The women screamed at this but could not move as they were both tied up. He offered the bowl of blood to the devil while he took a bit for himself and drank it. The women’s eyes grew large as they looked at each other, he then preceded to tell them…
“If you don’t mind what I say, you will end up the same way,” he then laughed a sinister laugh. At which time flames shot out from one of the tunnels and out walked Satan, who consumed the bowl of blood and then took the body of the woman back with him back into the tunnel.

The women were crying, at which time Jenny’s water broke and she went in to labor. She began screaming
And Joshua untied Stella and warned her to deliver the baby or she would end up just like the other woman.
Stella was terrified but she had no choice.

Joshua left in the Jeep to get things that they would need for the baby.
The girls knew that Satan was close at hand and were afraid.

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


The FBI spotted the red Jeep driven by Joshua and they got after him, pulling him over. He stopped but when they began to question him about insurance and where he was coming from and so on he became agitated. They spotted the knife he had used to kill the women with in the back seat and it still had traces of blood on it. They took him in to the precinct to question him. They had reason to suspect him as he matched the description, as did his car, of what was seen during the last kidnapping.

Meanwhile back at the cavern the baby was being born, it was a hard delivery but Stella had experience with delivering babies as she had worked in the maternity ward for some time. After giving birth to a baby boy, Stella wrapped the baby in a jacket. The two of them thought the baby belonged to the kidnapper Joshua because Jenny had no memory of laying with Satan. Stella told Jenny to lay still that she was going to leave and quickly try to find some help. Stella took off out of the cavern and down the mountain to where the lake was and she saw some people coming in from off their boat, she ran over to the…
“Please, help me won’t you please help, we have been kidnapped and my friend is up the hill in the cavern with a new baby boy could you please help us.”

The two men got in their car and accompanied Stella to the cavern. She led them into the cavern to where Jenny lay with her infant son. Stella took the baby while the two men carried Jenny to their car and lay her in the back seat. They drove to the hospital where they contacted the police.

“The baby is only six months along, but it appears to be a full term infant,” said Stella to the doctor.

“The baby appears to be healthy enough.”

The police called Jenny’s parents, who immediately came to the hospital. They had given up hope of ever seeing her again. They were shocked that she gave birth to a son.

“I’m not keeping it!” it’s just a constant reminder of what that freak did to us.”

The police questioned Jenny and Stella, who told everything about the other two victims.
The County sent a social worker to get the baby, which Jenny happily signed over for adoption.

“We have a waiting list for baby boys, I have a couple in mind already,” said the social worker.

No one was aware the baby was in fact the anti-Christ, and the baby was taken in to a home with a couple who had no children to begin its life of evil.
