Life between good and evil... (A Horror Short-Story)

Source

Since the beginning of time, good and evil have always existed, war between them is to the death, they say that Lucifer was the most beautiful angel in heaven and that envy and greed for power made him sin and his punishment was to strip him of its beauty and its wings and throw it to the earth in the shape of a snake and so it would crawl forever.

I have seen many cases of possessions that if they had told me I would not believe them, I decided to serve God from a very young age and that is why I became a priest and I am in charge of the town church and they say that in a small town, hell is big.

I have carried out several exorcisms, but when you take a demon out of a person's body, many times they are not alone and they almost never leave, they are always prowling around trying to get a vulnerable soul to possess.

It is said that when you die you go through a process before reincarnating, where you clean yourself of all the things or glued things that you did in your past lives, but there are many times your sins that follow you forever.

Carlos was a beautiful child just days old, his parents were happy for the arrival of his first-born, to take him home he was made a treat for his reception, the parents asked me to give the child the blessing, I agreed immediately at your request approaching the baby, at the time of placing my hand on his head I could feel something very strange in the child, I can not explain, it was like a feeling of evil, the child looked at me in a creepy way, it was a Penetrating and terrifying look, I was somewhat surprised and thought that maybe I had imagined it, the child began to cry and his mother tried to calm him down, little by little people left the celebration ended and the parents took the baby to his room so that rest.

In the early hours of the morning the child would not stop crying his parents thought he was sick and they took him to the doctor and after examining him and doing a series of tests he told them that the baby was completely healthy.

The next night the same thing happened, they did not know what to do, they were desperate, the nanny tells them that maybe it was something bad that was in the house, that she knew a lady who was a seer and that if they allowed her she would bring her to see the place, they accepted since they had nothing to lose, suddenly the child starts to cry and some sounds are heard in the baby's room and they go immediately to see what happened, when they come they see that the little one I was suffocating with a big pillow and the crib was moving, the father quickly removed the pillow and carried the baby, they did not explain how that pillow had arrived at the crib of Carlos, much less how the crib was moving if the child he was barely a few days old and did not have the strength to do that, they asked the driver to take the nurse to look for the lady he had spoken to.

When the visionary arrived at the house, she once perceived negative forces in the place, asked them to give her a tour of the house and finally took her to the room where the baby was, and that's how it was, when they arrived at the house. The child's room began to feel disturbed, there was something there that he did not like, he asked that the light be turned off and that the door be left open so that only a little clarity entered the room so that he could visualize what happened there and when His request could see a crowd of dead people surrounding the baby's crib and he began to cry, they tried to hurt the child and that's why he cried, until they realized that she could see them, they all turned their eyes to her and shouted in a terrifying way, this quickly asked to turn on the light, was very scared and quickly down the stairs in search of the exit, he did not like what he had witnessed, the concerned parents asked him to I told them what was happening with the child and she told them that the creature had not come to the world alone, nor in the best way, that it had brought with it a calmness from their past lives with which the fury and the evil of many spirits who had not yet gotten revenge on him, that she could not help them with that and that they apologized and left.

They sent the driver in search of the village priest to tell him what happened, he already sensed what the matter was and immediately went to his call, took a large bag where he put several things like the Bible, holy water, a silver cross and other of his belongings and he left.

The very frightened mother told him what had happened, he told them that indeed the child had something bad that he had brought with him and that he had perceived the day of his reception, requested that he be taken to where the baby was.

When he arrived at his room and the priest took the bible out of his bag along with the holy water and approached the crib and stroked his head while saying some prayers, the boy opened his eyes and stared at him, the priest opened the window and threw himself from the first floor unconscious in the place, people who were in the room were surprised by what was happening and took the baby while others went down to lend He helps the priest, he was still alive, but he only repeated over and over again that the child had to be killed while on the way to the hospital.

The priest almost lost his life, at this time he is stable in the hospital room, but after being unconscious for a few hours and waking up he was never the same, he says he is persecuted by a multitude of spirits who want to kill him When he is discharged he will be transferred to a psychiatric hospital, while the baby is with his parents, it was as if the child had passed his calm to the priest and he would continue to grow with his evil without anyone preventing him.
