1 Chap.1. Dead baby

"Hurry up!" A man with a hood on said in a distressed tone. His hood covered all his facial features, giving him a mysterious look, his voice was the only thing the man showed. Next to him stood another hooded man that had no features showing.

"Where do i put it?" The man asked confusedly, he held up his arms in question.

The other man put his hands to his temples and looked around, "I dont know! Just put it in the trash can over there", said the man as he pointed towards a small trash can in a dimly lit alleyway. The other man shrugged, but still did as told.

He ran towards the trash can at terrifying speeds, no human eye would be able to see him. When he was infront of the trash can he whispered a few words and something appeared in the air. The thing looked like a baby, a human baby.

The man grabbed the baby from the air and put it in the small trash can, he then whispered a few more words and another creature appeared in the air, the creature looked more like a bird rather than a baby. The man repeated the same thing as he had done before and rushed back towards the other man.

"Its done" He said when he reached the man. The man nodded and they both disappeared from their spot, the only thing left was a pile of ashes.

"We must hurry! Clean up the counters and mop the floors!" A women said loudly as she gave out multiple instructions at a time. A few people nodded and rushed to do as she told.

"Clean the dishes! The owners will be here at any moment!" She said in a rushed manner, her instructions met the ears of countless people, all tried their best to meet her requests. They knew she wasn't normally like this, only on days like this was she more firm with her instructions.

Everyone rushed around the place which looked like a Chinese restraunt. They carried out the requests of the women who seemed to be in charge. Obviously, that women was the manager.

When all the requests were finished a pair of two entered the restraunt. They looked at every little thing and made notes in their heads on things that weren't to their satisfaction. They walked towards the manager with faces that showed not one ounce of emotion. When they were right infront of her, they showed smiles that made their eyes have little creases on the sides.

"Great job, Manager Selton. You have kept this restraunt tiddy, clean and beautiful, the only thing u must change are the pictures, some didn't go with what we offer in our restraunt." The women said with soft voice. The women wore a beautiful red dress that emphasized her bodily features perfectly, she had reddish hair that went perfectly with her red dress. She had a welcoming aura that surrounded her which would make many people feek comfortable in her presence. Her beautiful face would make most girls jealous, and she didn't even have an ounce of makeup on her.

"Yes, great job Manager Selton. I also believe that u must change the pictures." The man beside the women said. He wore a black suit with a golden watch, his hair was the same colour of his suit and it was styled beautifully. Most men would also be envious of him; he looked like a supermodel. Manager Selton bowed as thanks.

The pair then walked towards a booth that had candles and roses situated in the middle of the table. Manager Selton released a small breath and then followed the pair to the booth. Once she reached the booth she gave 2 menus to each of them and waited patiently. The pair read through the menus and finally chose their orders a few minutes later.

"I will take the Birds nest please. For the drink i would like Moutai." Said the man. The man looked towards the beautiful women and waited. "Ill take the same" The women said.

The night went smoothly. Manager Selton sighed with relief once the couple left the restraunt, her beating heart slowed down and a smile appeared on her face.

She clapped her hands to gain everyones attention, "Amazing job everyone!", she said with a bright smile on her face. Everyones faces brightened up and they patted eachother on the back.

"All we need to do is clean up the dishes and then you may all go home an rest! Thank you all for your amazing work today!" Manager Selton said with a happy smile on her face, the smile reached her eyes as small happy tears formed in her eyes. She let out a refreshed breath and cleaned the tears out of her eyes before it made her mascara leak.

The dishes were cleaned fast and everyone left the restraunt with a satisfied smile on their faces. Once everyone was out, Manager Selton locked up and started her journey home.

She walked along the side-walk with a jump in her step. She had a stylish bag on her left shoulder and a black dress on, the black dress was the restraunts attire for the serving staff, the night was cold so she wore a jumper over her black dress.

When she was walking pass a dimly lit alleyway, she heard the small sound of chirping. She stopped what she was doing and instinctively pulled out a flip knife from her purse, she knew it was dangerous around these areas at night so she always had a knife with her.

'Dammit, either its a real bird thats injured or a artificially made bird noise to lure me into the alleyway.' She thought quickly, she knew of many news stories where killers used animals noises to lure gullible people into an alleyway and then brutally murder them. She promptly made up her mind and stepped away from the alleyway.

The birds chirping grew louder, it sounded so desperate that it made Manager Selton hesitate to leave. It truly sounded like a baby bird in her mind, it didn't sound at all like a soundtrack. Manager Selton held her knife infront of her and finally decided to check out the alley.

'If i die because of this stupid mistake, i will be mad as hell!' She said in her mind. She knew it was pretty stupid to go into an alleyway alone but the bird sounded so desperate for help.

She followed the birds cry and found it was coming from a bin. A sense of dread reached her, either this was a trap and the recorder was in the bin or it was real, but why would a baby bird be in a trash can? She slowly walked towards the bin with her knife pointed at it.

She looked into the bin but realized she couldn't see a thing, the alleyway gave almost no light. Manager Selton quickly brought out her phone and turned on her flashlight, she pointed it into the bin and carefully looked in it.

She jumped back in fright, she was only expecting a baby bird to be in the trash can!

Who would've thought that there was also a baby?! She carefully moved towards the trash can again, her heart was beating at alarming speeds. She brought the flash light up once again only to find the exact same thing she saw before!

In the bin was a baby with beautiful white hair and a baby crow in its arms, the baby seemed either asleep or dead. Manager Selton quickly put the phone and knife back into her purse, she reached into the bin and put her arms around the baby. The baby bird stopped chirping and nestled into the baby's arms and the baby was in Manager Seltons arms, Manager Selton then rushed out of the alleyway and ran home.

When she reached her home she hurriedly opened the door with one arm and closed the door with her foot. She rushed through her house all the way to the kitchen, she gently laid the still 'sleeping' baby on the counter.

She checked the baby's pulse.. Sadly; there was no pulse..
