PART 2

Jessica drove straight home. What Kane had revealed had been such a shock she needed her mother’s calm and good nature. The house was quiet when she walked in. She found her mother on the back porch looking out over the lake, which bordered their property. Jessica watched her through the screen door. She seemed so sad. She sat up when the door screeched open and stared at Jessica in surprise.

“Jessa?” She stood up and rushed towards her youngest child. “What’s wrong?” She led Jessica over to a chair. “Baby, what happened?”

Jessica stared at her mother and tried to figure out the best way to explain what had happened to her. In the end, she decided the only way to do it was just to blurt it out.

“Do you believe in demons, mother?”

Ruth’s eyes widened. “Like demonic possession?”

“No, like sex demons.”

“Sex demons? What are you talking about?” Ruth’s hands flew to her mouth. “Jessa, what have you gotten yourself into baby? You’ve been gone less than a day, and already Kane Morley has got you mixed up in some kind of sex cult. I’m going to call your father.” She jumped up, and Jessica grabbed her hand.

“Please, mother, I don’t want him involved in this. Can I just talk to you?”

Ruth sighed and sat back down. Jessica explained to her mother as best she could what had happened at Kane’s house. She noticed her mother got real tense when she mentioned Graham Major.

“Did he do something to you?”

Ruth’s lip’s trembled, and then she burst into tears.

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

Ruth’s thin shoulders shook as she cried. Jessica fished a napkin out of her purse and wiped her mother’s face. “Mama, talk to me,” she pleaded.

Ruth blew her nose and then stared out over the lake. “I’ve been sitting out here for hours praying to God for a miracle and he sent it to me in the form of a demon.” She sighed and sat back. “I’m going to tell you something that I’ve never told anyone, not even your father. I was seventeen when I first met Graham Major, and I fell madly in love with him. Everything about our relationship seemed perfect until I got pregnant.”

Jessica gasped. “You… You were….”So many thoughts were spinning around in her head that she couldn’t finish one of them. She’d been taught that both her parents had been virgins on their wedding night. To hear that her mother had not only had another man but had gotten pregnant blew her mind.”

Ruth squeezed her hand. “I know it’s a lot to take in. When I told Graham I was pregnant, he demanded that I get rid of the baby because he wasn’t about to strap himself down with a wife and baby. When I refused, he… he beat the baby out of me.” She closed her eyes, and tears slid from under her lids. “All these years later I still remember that night. I still feel that pain. We were out in the woods, close to Kane’s house.
