All Chapters of MONSTER'S TATTOO: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My name is Artie. I lived with my family, mom and my dad, in the jungle. We had no neighbors but only listening to the sweet melodious voices of the singing birds from the jungle. I grew up from the house and never moved out.My parents used to tell me I was the only reason for their happiness so I made sure to keep them smiling.I was a type of girl who liked watching fantasies so I always wished to make the impossible possible.One day on my birthday, dad asked me to make a wish. I just told them I wanted a tattoo on my thigh instead. My mom scolded me for asking such a stupid thing on my day but it's what I wanted.Few weeks after my birthday, I was twenty four years by then. My mom had gone to visit her parents and my father too wasn't at home so I decided to break the promise I made to them to not move out of the house. Slowly but steadily, I broke out of our house and entered the thick Forest. It was very dark in there but I was so excited as it was my first time to step out o

Still wondering, I heard someone knocking on the door. It was dad he had followed me. Maybe he wanted to scold me again. I opened the door and then he came inside. " I am sorry my dear daughter. You know I didn't mean to hurt you this much but you have made me so mad. How could you step out of the house.You see my intentions are pure for you. I only wish you the best this world could provide. I am your father, protecting you from any danger is my responsibility. Please try to understand your father.When your mother was pregnant with you, she went into the jungle and met a stranger woman who told her that she will give birth to a beautiful girl child and that that child will get married to a monster. The son of the devil (the king of the jungle). We had planned to do something to you but the happiness you brought to us was and still is incredible so we decided to raise you and not letting you step out of the house in order not to meet with the devil's son anywhere. And today when

I then remembered my mom had Holly water. I started to look for it and finally found its bottle in the nightstand drawer.Turning to face them, I didn't find their statues there. They were all gone. "Unbelievable! Where have they gone? They are still statues and can't walk from here. How did they just disappear and why? Are they dead or something?" I wondered."Am I imagining things? But no am not, my parents are really gone." I dropped the bottle of Holly water and ran outside to look for them. They were not there either. Where could I search for them?" I asked myself." No need dear. We are here." My mom's voice interrupted my thoughts. I couldn't believe it at first so I had to look behind me to first confirm if she was the one.Indeed she was the one. I was so shocked but couldn't stop myself from running to them and hugged both of them. They were alive. But how did all this happen? How did they come back to normal and who helped them? I got so many questions in my mind. I need

"I need to use the bathroom."I excused myself but before I could go upstairs,the other woman who addressed him as her son blocked my way." Where are you going dear. It's not right for a bride to look back after her wedding ceremony. In fact let's go home right away." She said.For a moment my heart skipped a beat, my eyes got flooded with tears as I imagined how life without my parents would be like.I knew life wasn't going to be the same. I would miss them so much. Moreover I didn't know if these people would ever let me go and see them again." Thanks for everything Mr Smith and your family. We shall take your leave." She said these words as we walked to the car. My husband opened the door for me, before I could get in the car I got a strange feeling. I turned back to look at my parents for the last time but that didn't seem enough for me. I ran to them and hugged them both."I will miss you so much,"I cried when they responded back "we will miss you too darling."I walked slowly

Without realizing, my lips had curved for a smile. I then remembered that I shouldn't be smiling no matter what happens. This man is already on my bad side so I should be acting as an enemy to him.Checking on my tattoo, it was there. " Am so sorry my dear friend. I regret refusing your proposal the other night but how was I going to say yes when you only visited me in my dreams? It's all my fault, and sometimes I think that maybe am cursed. Bron left me at the altar without saying any word to me and for that matter I had to marry this stranger who is more like an animal. Can you please tell me what's wrong with me. I know you can hear me and please if you can take me back home." I talked to my tattoo but my friend Bat ignored me." Are you angry with me? Don't ignore me like this at least say something. Abuse me if you want to but don't just keep quiet." Still there was no response from him.Coming back to my room, Anu was already asleep on the bed. Maybe he was pretending to be asl
