The missing child

Charlie's heartbeat quickened as he moved under the full moon light . He had never been to Wincosia , the place where he was now and the reason was only one - his daughter . One week back when he got the news of his daughter's missing case he never thought that  he would travel this far for her, to a desolated island without law and order or modern comforts . After days of wandering without any clues he got a letter last night which had only 2 lines " Your daughter is in the community hall , save her before it's  too late " 

It was just after the midnight when he broke into the Wincosia community hall . It was dark inside and he couldn't see anything, so he took out his flash light  . When he turned it on he found a figure bound to a chair , it was his daughter Eli . As he ran towards her something hit him hard on his head from behind , the flashlight fell from his hand and he crumbled on the dusty floor . When he gained  consciousness he found himself in a dark room lit by candles surrounded by figures in dark robes . As he tried to move he found himself tied to a stone alter . '' Don't worry Charlie ,it will be over soon " a voice said as it emerged from the darkness holding a knife . It was his ex - wife with his child Eli at her side . 

Charlie tried thrashing his legs in fury but they didn't even budge . He saw in bewilderment as his daughter took the knife from her mother's hand and whispered to him " Que tu sangre apague la sed de Lucifer ( May your blood quench the thirst of Lucifer ) " and thrusted  the knife right into his chest . His chest burned and blood came out oozing from the wound but as he tried to scream and thrash his head went blank . His ex - wife was right , it was over in no time  ......
