Chapter 5 - 5 Little Damien turns aggressive outside church

The Thorn's escorts were all on a standstill waiting for Katherine and Damien. They were invited to a wedding and the Thorns were made special guest of honours too. It really was exciting for Katherine as she got ready for church, they were a little bit close to time for sermons before the wedding will progress. Robert was looking dashing with his well fitted suit and tie to match. Katherine isn't left out on her fine fitted silk gown with a lacy opening at the back, making her presentable before the Lord instead of hot model drawing the attention of many admires.

Now Katherine wanted to go bring her son Damien knowing he is already taken care of and set for the double occasion. She called on Mrs Baylocks to ask after Damien but was only disappointed to find out that Damien hasn't even gotten ready at all. Even Mrs Baylocks refuse that Damien can't go to church, adding she prefers taking him to the park instead.

"To the park?" Katherine was surprised at Mrs Baylocks manner of utterance. That was new coming out from her child's nanny. She replied Mrs Baylocks who was high atop the stairs that leads to Damien's room.

"I told you he was going to church with us."

"He is too young for church. Most especially as you said it before, that he is shy with new people."

Squinting her eyes in annoyance, Katherine went on,"You don't seem to understand me Mrs Baylocks. It is my wish and that of my husband wish that Damien accompanies us to church. Now please, have him dresses at once."

"Excuse me for speaking my mind but you think the five year old will understand the going on and offs of the wedding?"

"Honey aren't you done yet, we running late." Robert called out from outside

"Just a minute." Katherine answered back then turned to face Mrs Baylocks, "Will you have my son dressed and in the car in five minutes. Thank you."

While in the car, Robert and Katherine was all in smiles as they set out to go to church. Probably, this is the first time since Damien was born they decided to go to church. Hand in hand in their car, followed by their escorts, the Thorns was driven to church. But something was wrong, it was Damien. He turned cold suddenly while the church's tower bearing the metal crucifix at vantage point of the towel was seen. Its as if, his cold fierce glares could set the crucifix or even the church in particular on fire.

"Is anything the matter Damien?" Katherine saw his cold face but couldn't fathom what had brought about it, so she asked. Still Damien gave her no reply than a frown. Maybe a frown of 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒎 𝒊 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆. To soothe the tense look in his eyes, she carried him close to cuddle him. She had thought that maybe Mrs Baylocks was right about him getting to see new people. Damien had always been shy with new people. Keeping him close right now, she hope, will allay his fears a little bit.

The cold face was only a part of Damien's change of behavior, Katherine started to notice that his temperature went up all of a sudden. She was shocked. She reclined on her husband that Damien is not feeling well. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆, she tries to tell herself that, her fears were already kicking at that moment. But before she could tell the driver to take them to the hospital, they have already reached their destination right in front of the church.

Robert tries to tell her weary wife maybe its just the clothes or that he has grown homesick which is normal for children of his age.

"Don't worry, he will get to know and play with other children of his age here." Robert kissed both Katherine and Damien forehead before coming out of the car. He set the door ajar for his wife and son to follow sooth too, but right before Katherine moved her arse, Damien attacked her like a fierce dog or a madman perhaps. He dragged his mother hair with his little fingers aggressively. Robert bent his head to see what's happening as he heard both his wife and son screaming calling the attention of passer by. Both members and invitees of the church and wedding who heard the screams of both child and mother, wanted to know what was happening. Robert quickly went back into the car to separate his child fierce fingers from his mother's face. He closed the door behind him and order the driver be taken home.

Judging by the escorts, everyone who were either a member or an invitee could tell Robert and his family were special guest. Besides, most were not mistaken that it was the Ambassador they had just seen earlier before quickly driving away. What had gone wrong. They asked each other.
