                A warm touch turned into a cold wet grasp. The careless hands took a small baby from the Father’s protective hold.

                They carried the child into a dark prison that resembled a house; a house that had been shrouded.

                A hideous body cradled the small gift. A body that was masked with a smiling face.

As soon as the Father left, the mask shattered. Boiling ooze sputtered through the pearlescent  skin, staining the baby’s body.

                Eyes burned down on the bundle scanning for any transmitters that might reveal the secrets around them.

                Darkness began to swallow the three month child. It became so dark that the monster itself could not see, so it dropped the child leaving it alone to cry.

                The child would cry until the Father would see past the mask of the Beast several days later
