«Before I begin to relate the second part of this mysterious story, I invite you to read The First One, so that you can understand what it is about, what is its plot, and how the events took place»
There are stories that should never have begun, so sad, so dark, so depressing, however, nothing we can do, they are already there, we just have to live them and try to overcome them, even if some die trying...
The witch had achieved her goal, to take over the body and soul of the innocent child, thus causing the destruction of a humble family, who only wanted to help him in his need. He went deep into the forest, in his humble abode, a cave at the top of the mountain, where he had a view of the whole town, from there he planned which child he would steal and how many who got in his way would end up.
The months went by, that family that helped her, moved from that sad place, with the death of the mother, everything was devastated, destroyed, without any sense, however, the witch needed other victims, the curse that she had forced her to feed on the purity and innocence of the youngest, this kept her alive, although she did not know for how long she would be able to keep it that way. So she forced the boy she had kidnapped and told him: "Today begins a new moon child, remember that you already serve me, your life, your blood is in my hands, having killed your mother has thrown you to hell, guess what, hell is me JaJaJaJaJa", however, the boy only saw her without saying anything, he was hypnotized by the spells of the evil woman.
Her orders were very clear, go back to the village, and bring me, two 7-year-old children, I want them alive, I need them before 10 p.m., if you fail me, the animals of this damned forest will have breakfast with your eyes...
« I thank these beautiful people from the bottom of my heart for their support and dedication, if you still do not read any article about them or do not know them, we invite you to do so, it will be the best decision you've made in your life »
In the village people resumed their lives, after being dismayed with the murder of that poor woman because of her son, everything seemed to be normal, the father and his other child fled from that house, which everyone considered to be cursed, at night you could hear how the mother screamed at her son to stop, that it hurt, and in the background the laughter of another woman, which many call the Witch of the Cave. Ramon, the only baker in town, always closed his bakery at 8:30 at night, the route he took to his home was very ugly, unfortunately, he had to pass by the house where such ugly events happened, every time he passed by there, he carried across, and prayed, to avoid any evil that danced around that place.
That day everything seemed normal, he had good sales, his pieces of bread were the best in that region, everyone always took up to 5 loaves daily, the man went home happy, closed his bakery, but something looked different, the night, the moon, the sound of the wind, even the smell of the street, however, he tried to ignore that, he put on a jacket and a hat to deal with the great cold that was doing and walked to his humble home.
After more than 3 minutes since he began his walk, he knew that something was wrong, his forehead and hands were sweating, he felt that his jacket was burning until he understood the reason for this feeling, he was passing by the cursed house, although he never saw that place, he looked at the sky, tonight he forced himself to look, and what he saw left him paralyzed, in that house that was in ruins, where you could see even the garden, there was something, a strange figure, hunched over, with eyes blacker than night, the way it stood made him think that it had no bones, it was a being from another dimension, what most caught Ramon's attention was that this thing had in its power two poor children, one of them the son of his best friend.
Ramon since he was a child considered himself very devoted to God and the Virgin, that day his faith was tested, if his mind did not deceive him, this was due to that old witch, she had sent some entity to take these poor children and feed on them, he held his cross tightly, and decided to enter that terrible house, the streets were alone, the breeze had stopped, the dogs howled, and the dark forest seemed to be waiting for something. "The moment he entered that house, his words echoed: "In the name of God, I ask you to leave those poor children, you no longer belong to this world of the living, go back where you came from". The creature as Jose called him, stared at him, the children began to cry and only wanted their mothers, poor Ramon was sweating, his heart was beating a thousand kilometers per hour.
In a matter of seconds the wind began to blow, everything became so dark that the moon could not be seen, in the course of that, he took the opportunity to take the little ones by the hand, while the creature only looked at the ceiling, showing teeth that could scare even the bravest of the people, Ramon clung to his faith, to his belief, to his religion and that cross he had in his hands, which he felt would save him today, but sometimes some things don't go as he wanted, on the roof of the house, there was a big sound, as if something landed, something heavy, but the curious thing is that it walked on the roofs as if it was a cat.
When they saw the garden there she or he was, in reality, they did not know for sure who she was, everyone knew her as the Witch, a being that could change her appearance, according to her convenience, that thing that fed on children, that inhabited the Cave of the mountain and was capable of destroying anyone who crossed her path, when she touched the ground, Ramon felt how the floor got hot, and this thing said some very strange words to the creature with her lost sight: "Stupid boy, how can you let yourself be robbed of my food by an idiot baker, just because they show you across, I warned you, and I do not threaten in vain, today the animals of the forest will dine with your eyes and hands, having stolen you from your parents was the worst decision I ever made". While that creature was telling him that, the witch hit him in the face, and it was at that precise moment, when the Baker understood what was happening, that thing of black and lost sight, hunched and of dark aspect, was the son of that poor family, who suffered that misfortune in August.
While all this was happening the children were screaming and crying, Ramon did not know what else to do, although he did not know the great secret that his cross had, the witch began to change her shape, this time she became a pretty old lady, and kindly asked the baker to give her those children for the greater good, she even warned him: "If you give me those children, I will do as if nothing here happened, I will give you the power to make your bread even better, and no one will be able to resist buying you many as long as I live, if you don't like my proposal, then I have a better one, kill you and your family, while I burn that damn bakery, you decide".
When we are nervous, we do not know how to act, that is what happened to Ramon, he took off his crucifix, and threw it to the witch, the cross touched his face, and it was as if the hot water burned you, this strange being began to scream, to cry, and to curse the entire population, the noise he made was so loud, that everyone in town went out to the streets, to understand what was happening, suddenly the light went out, a black cloud made a thunder sound, lightning began to fall, and the witch returned to her usual form, although many thought she was a woman, the truth is that she was a man, with the body of an animal, but with the face of a person, in her look there was fire and evil, the hatred that composed it, made Ramon began to tremble, this being did not understand how a simple baker could get in the way of her plans.
However, he had no choice but to flee from that terrible place, but not before cursing them all: "You people of filth, I curse you for eternity, and every year that passes I will return and all your children I will dine, none can escape from this place, the one who does so will never breathe again". Before disappearing deep into the forest, he ripped out the heart of the poor boy who had killed his mother, because he had bewitched him, the young man fell with his eyes full of tears, while he smiled seeing a white light that was waiting for him...

Oh my, this was beautifully written, I cannot believe that all along, the witch wasn't even a woman.
It's cool that the baker stick to his faith and no amount of rich promises could make him succumb to the whining of this witch
I am sure even if he had done what she asked, she would have gone back on her words since she rewarded good with evil when she first came in contact with that boy's family (using she because we made me to believe she was female until the end of the story)
Again, I must commend you for this story, thanks for tagging me to it
