Apollyon's Saint The Unraveling Page 3

grandfather so Daniel could stab him. He had his pants down to his knees and under him was a beach blonde woman who appeared to be passed out. Her dress was torn revealing her bear breasts in the moonlight.

  The man on top of the woman had one last power full thrust and he stopped. “There now you go ahead” The man on top of the women said. He got up from her and pulled up his pants and sat down on the bed. “Well are you going to have sex with her or not?” The man said to the other. “Ye..yes” the other one said as he climbed on top of the women.

  Gabriel turned his head away as he could hear him kissing and thrusting into the unconscious woman. Then after only a few second he stopped. “Heh, he, holy fuck I think she is dead!” The man said. “No way she is just drunk and out of it, hurry up and lets get out of here!” The man sitting down said.

  Gabriel turned and looked as the one man had his ear up to her bare breasts. “No, she has no heart beat and is not breathing. Here listen and she is really cold!” The man said. The other one got up from the bed and walked over to the women and felt her pulse. “Oh shit man you are right!” The man said. The other man jolted off the women and pulled up his pants.

  “Oh shit I was fucking a dead woman. What are we gonna do!” He said with panic across his face. “Just calm down and wrap her up in the blankets. We will wait until the party is over and take her out into the woods” The other man said. They rolled her up in the blankets and onto the floor. “Now put her under the bed and put something up against the door, we will wait in here until everyone leaves” One of the men said. They pushed her under the bed and sat on the bed and waited. The one man was still frightened. “What if we get caught, maybe we should just tell someone we found her like this?” The frightened man said. “Just shut up and wait, no one will know or care about this bitch” The other man said.

  They sat and waited in silence, Gabriel looked out the window in disgust. Most of the people at the party were heading out to their cars laughing and stumbling around. Lights blazed on and out into the room. Until there was only a few cars left outside. “Now look I will go scout it out. Then I will open my trunk. Once everything is clear we will carry her down and get her in my car, got it?” The man said.

  “Fine” The other man unwillingly said. The one left the room and the man Gabriel was about to punch looked under the bed at the women one last time. He pulled the covers from her face and removed the hair from her face. He was shaking as he leaned in and gave her a kiss on her blue lips. Gabriel's disgust was enough to make him wince and look away.

  After a few moments the other man came back in the room. “Okay the coast is clear, lets hurry!” He said with haste. The two men grabbed the wrapped up woman and headed out the door. Gabriel could feel the same force about to toss him out the room. This time he just followed them.

  One of the woman's hands was hanging out and thumped down each step. The men were struggling to carry her and once down the stairs they fumbled with the door. At one point outside they dropped her and she came unwrapped. Gabriel had seen some disturbing things but when the woman was laying on the ground both men just stopped and looked at the women. Their faces were not that of remorse or guilt but of some satanic lust for the dead woman.

  They picked her back up and shoved her into the trunk. Gabriel got in the back seat of the car, there was no way he would be tossed through the air again to follow these lunatics on their occult funeral drive for the woman. They started the car and drove into town. The house they had been at was just on the outskirts of Axal.

  Once through the town they headed out on the familiar road that headed to Gabriel's house of the dead and the dark woods around it. The men just sat in silence until they pulled off the road. It was just a few miles before the turn off to Gabriels house.

  “Now we will take her out in the woods and drop her off one of the cliffs” The man driving said. The other man just nodded as they got out of the car. They opened the trunk and the man driving grabbed the women by the legs as the other one got her head. Just as they closed the trunk headlights came blaring around the turn behind them and shinned on them. The car came to a screeching halt.

  “OH SHIT!” The man driving said. They looked like two horrified deer in the headlights as the woman fell from the blankets and on the ground. A man appeared from behind the bright lights. “What do you boys think you are doing!” Daniel Ratcliff's dark image from behind the lights said. “whe whe well we found her like this sir!” The man Gabriel was about to punch said. “Get her back in the car and follow me you fools. We will take her to my house and sort this all out!” Daniel said. “Sir we can't go to prison, please...please don't get the police!” The man driving said.

  “Do as I say and I won't get the law on you boys, now hurry up!” Daniel said. The men put the woman back in the trunk and got in the car and followed Daniel. Gabriel knew whatever was about to happen at Daniel's house was worse than the two men going to prison for the rest of their lives.

  They pulled down the road and headed past Gabriel's house and into the woods where the old foundation was. They stopped at a gate and Daniel got out and unlocked it. They followed a road where the path now is to the foundation. Once down the road a short distance there was an old house with the cellar. It was smaller than Gabriel imagined and from inside one of the dark windows came a candle light.

  One of the women Daniel had murdered was inside looking out with a confused look. They drove past the house and towards the graveyard and came to a halt just before it. Daniel and the men got out of their cars. “Now what are your names?” Daniel asked. “Sir my name is Tony” The man Gabriel was about to punch said. “I am Steven” The other man said. “Well Tony and Steven, you boys really messed up big time tonight. My name is Daniel, just up that path is a shovel next to my family's graveyard. You boys run up there and Grab it. I will get her out of the trunk” Daniel said.

  The men walked in the moonlight up the path. Daniel waited until they were far enough out of view and popped open the trunk. He opened it and looked in at the woman wrapped in blankets. He pulled her out onto the ground and uncovered her. He smiled and place one hand on her leg and the other on her chest. Then he moved up to her neck checking for any signs of life.

  Then he pulled away from the girl and gave out a eerie laugh. “Stupid, stupid boys” Daniel said as he pulled his knife from his pocket. He place it up to her neck and with one swift slash blood poured from it onto the ground. He rolled her onto her side until the blood had stopped flowing into the dirt. Then he wrapped her neck with part of the blanket with precision. Once her neck was wrapped he ran the blankets around her tightly and dragged her a few feet into the tree's.

  He stopped and waited for the men to come back. “Hurry up we don't have all night!” Daniel shouted into the darkness. A few moments later Tony and Steven reemerged from the night. Steven grabbed one end of the woman while Daniel carried the other. After they had walked a short distance they stopped.

  “Now dig here” Daniel said as they put the woman down and started digging. “Yes sir” Tony said as he plunged the shovel into the dirt. “So this the first time you two kill someone?” Daniel asked. “Sir I don't think we killed this girl” Tony said as he continued to dig. “Oh really? haha, so you two just fucked her and buried her in the woods. Well I am sure our mighty fine justice system will forgive such a innocent deed” Daniel said laughing.

  “This ain't my first time” Steven said in a calm tone. “Oh really, well please indulge us with the story Steven” Daniel said. Steven looked up at the sky and sighed as Tony continued digging. “It was my cousin when we were younger. See I lived with my aunt and uncle and they treated my cousin Scott like he was gods gift to the world. Me on the other hand, well I was a burden to them. One day me and Steven were up by clear creek falls and he was sitting next to the edge. He didn't speak to me much and just had this presence of arrogance about him. Finally I just had enough, I ran up behind him and pushed him over those falls. Sometimes I st
ill hear him scream as he fell down, but I don't care I still hate even his ghost” Steven said.

  “Well now that's a Cain and Abel story, nothing new or unique about it. Here I was hoping you boys would be of some entertainment” Daniel said. “Yeah sir, but uh I thought Cain and Abel were brothers not cousins?” Tony said with confusion. “Haha, you shouldn't take all things literal Tony, you also should not take tonight’s encounter for granted. See I think you boys found me for a reason” Daniel said.

  Tony had dug about 3 feet down and looked exhausted. “That's deep enough for these old woods, put her in the hole Steven” Daniel said. Steven rolled the woman into the hole and Daniel grabbed the shovel from Tony and started covering her with dirt. “How about you boys come and work for me, you have a lot to learn about this business of murder and I am getting old and like all old men I must pass my legacy down to someone” Daniel said looking at the two men.
