Chapter 3 My Mirage Motherhood

Elsa's POV

I must say, this collaboration was the best thing that has happened to me so far, Kholas was true to his words. We got to meet from time to time along with my other brother Fleach deity of greed, they prepare my targets for me and I feed my soul.

They were really better at tracking weak minded humans than I could, and the plus is that I got to have sex with Fleach everytime we met in one of his spaces he creates. The goosebumps I feel at how smooth my life has been keeps haunting me,I am not good with fortune or luck.

I ran out of luck one night while spreading my arrogance in a casino. I had the gamblers at loggerheads with each other.I was satisfied, knives were slashing throats, bottles were broken on heads, blood was everywhere, I was happy, a feast for death. Within a twinkle of an eye, he was in the room but the portal he came through still seemed open.

He gave me a soulless nod which I ignored. Two other creatures bursted out of the portal before it closed and raced out of our space. I left the casino and chased after them. Death couldn't care less, he kept on devouring the damned souls.I caught up with one of the creatures and it turned out to be the goblin.

An ancient creature locked up in the tree of forbidden fruit which was banished to hell from paradise after Adam and Eve's transgression. Goblin was an immortal creature who refused to bow to God or grand master Satan. Hence he was locked up as it took no side, its escape still seeming like a mystery.I was about to meticulously approach it when the second creature sprang out of nowhere and pounced on me, it was the hellhound. It pierced my heart immediately. The goblin used the opportunity to run off while the brutal hellhound chased after it leaving me there to wither.I was in an illusion body as that is my other power as Fleach could create space, so I could wither off like a plant.

I was already fading, if only I could just save my soul and give myself time to recover back, hellhound claws could eliminate any agent of darkness or humans as it is very fatal. They are only unleashed on dangerous criminals, as they are brutal and will not hesitate to harm any creature that gets in its way just as I did. I was fading, then at that moment I wished a human would just pass by but obviously the alley is deserted, not long I heard a soft moan, and then a loud shriek of a human female. I crawled to the source only to find a human female with her legs widely spread and a big tummy carrying another human, the light on her soul seems to be fading off already.

She is a perfect prey, death came at the time, he was about to suck the two souls but I told him off and he left. I took over the body and connected with her soul.My body turned to dust and blew away, the woman was afraid.

I lent her my strength and together we pushed out the new born baby.I was elated, so was she. She was grateful and willingly gave her body to me. I summoned the grim reaper to lead her soul to the underworld.I had read her last memory and found out she had busted her husband and his mistress in a hotel.

She walked out hurt and disappointed and fell into preterm labour at the spot I found her. That was my brother Dujaw`s doing"deity of betrayal" I am very sure of that. I was alive, that is all that matters, but this is different, I do not enter humans, I only copy their form and mimic their ways. It feels kind of different, and also, I became a mother, that was the most terrible part. My soul was too weak, I couldn`t summon any of my brothers. What do I do with a human offspring? The baby looked into my eyes and let out a loud cry.

"Had it figured I wasn't its mother?" I thought . I managed to pull the body together.

I had learnt some of human-ways so I opened the woman`s bag and checked her identity. I took some of the money in her bag, still covered in blood. I wrapped the baby in her undergarments which I took off, but the baby won't stop crying.

I was baffled, should I just kill it?

A wandering spirit sensed my desperation and came to my aid.She said I had to feed it with milk from my breast, a mammary organ located in front of my chest.I eyed her suspiciously but I decided to try it.

This baby`s mother saved my life.I put the tip of the breast in the baby's mouth and it sucked hungrily. The wandering spirit offered to help if I could keep her safe from grim reapers as she was still watching over her infants. I agreed, after all, she will be reaped eventually.

The wandering spirit insisted I pack the baby's placenta into a disposable bowl that was nearby and I had to take it along with me for proper disposal. This seemed too stressful I thought.I need to regain my strength as soon as possible to conjure a body for myself and get out of this shell.

I looked at the pure soul in my arms, it had closed its eyes and was sleeping peacefully. To repay that woman, I have to ensure the safety of her offspring, but the question is how do I get to her house covered in blood? I asked myself rhetorically.

The wandering spirit sensed my helplessness and offered to help by luring a human to us.She disappeared within a second and reappeared about twenty seconds later. She told me to act as humanly as possible when the help comes.

After what seemed like a minute, a couple came into view, the woman jumped in surprise at sighting the pure soul and i. She brought out her cell phone screaming to her partner to call the ambulance. I quickly acted" the damsel in distress" damn the human slang !,within a twinkle of an eye we found ourselves in the trunk of the emergency vehicles.

Medical needles were fitted into my veins passing me water and blood, not that I needed those.The wandering spirit sat by me although the humans couldn't see her. The pure soul was still peacefully sleeping while we got to the hospital and we were wheeled into the room, the attending nurse opened the woman`s phone, dialed her husband`s contact.

I never even thought that initially, the cheater should have been summoned to take care of his offspring, but could I trust him with this pure soul?

After about thirty minutes, he rushed in faking empathy, if I had been stronger I could have turned him into a toad. I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, I was not his lover and I was too pissed at him to fake it right now. He went to the baby court, held his baby and I saw pure love in his eyes.

He loved the baby, not the mother! Wonderful!
