SATAN'S WARRIORS

Judith Mayberry opened her mouth to scream when a paw-like hand clamped around her ankle and another covered her mouth. She was dragged to a thicket and pulled down into the earth through a hole she never knew existed. When Judith came to her senses she was naked and cold.

She had never seen such horrible-looking monsters in all her life. Not even in the movies!

Suddenly two young Beasts seized Judith and forced her to a hands and knees position. Then the old Beast bit her on the neck several times as he mated with her. After a short time she started getting warmer. She looked at the back of her hands. Thick coarse hair was sprouting, not just on the back of her hands, but all over her body.

Her face, especially her jaw, was beginning to ache. Her teeth felt odd. She ran her tongue over them and found they were fanged. Several of the Beasts were talking and Judith found she could understand them. She crawled over and they welcomed her.

She was one of them.

She tossed her head, glad of her new strength and body. One earring gleamed dully in the gloom of the cave, as it remained pierced in place. That was all that was left of the woman once known as Judith Mayberry.

To Charles and Bobbi

The prayer for exorcism and the ritual was taken, in part, from Montague Summer's History of Witchcraft and Demonology, published by Routledge and Kegan Paul LTD, London.

Every sound shall end in silence, but the silence never dies.

-Samuel Miller Hageman

But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail.
