Near the dawn, the daughter husband returned to the family, bringing a vehicle with him so he can leave with his bride to his country. The family stood outside next to the vehicle to say goodbye to their daughter their eyes were full of tears and they hugged their daughter. Suddenly, loud screams came from the village side, the family was frighten and the father said to his new son in-law:" Let's go to the village to see what's going on the village". The new daughter husband seemed to be uncomfortable clearly and his looked changed to annoyed looks. He said to the father :" I'm so late and I want to leave immediately. you can go but we leave now" He said in angry voice. The father was really shocked of this new way that his son in-law treated him with. he used to look so polite and kind! The father thought in his mind maybe that was because of he is a busy man, so he stepped aside from the vehicle and said goodbye to them. .
The father rushed to the village to see what was going on. There, he found a crowd of villagers gathering around the old man house, the one who spoke with him last night and warned him of his son in-low. He felt a retraction in his chest while he was approaching . Once he reached the door of the house he stand there staring at the blood that covered all over the ground. He looked at the villagers but he was shocked by the fear was appearing clearly on their faces. He shouted at them:" For god seek what has happened here? What is this blood ? ?" The villagers didn't talk, they only pointed to a spot in the middle of the road. He move to that spot to see what was that thing. Once he realized what is was he felt like everything in his stomach has came out of his mouth immediately and his legs no longer can bear holding him so he kneeled on the ground looking to the head that lays in front of him. It was the head of the old man. He did not know what to think or what to say. He thought in his mind" would this could be a coincidence!" He remembered the long absence of his son in-low to bring the vehicle and remembered his Unjustified anger and his harsh looks when he asked him to go with together and see what was going in the village. All these thoughts crossed the father head and started slapping his face and saying:" Oh my daughter! ! What have I done ?" He wailed and cried. The villagers gathered around him asking about the reason of his crying like this. He told them what the old man said to him at the ceremony and how he looked panic when he looked to his son in-low. he told how his son in-law treated him differently when asked him to go to the the village and how he insisted to leave quickly.
"What is this thing that does not blink his eyes at all ?" Said the father.
An old lady came out of the crowd, and she said to him : "You have made a big mistake when you did not listen to the warning of the old man. He was more experienced than you. You have thrown your precious daughter to a demon called the Marfaien. It is a cruel heartless creature. You can never kill him and the only way that will save you from his attack, is to avoid turning your head to the left, because he always attacks from the left. So whatever it happened never turn your face to the left.
"The Poor old man seemed to forget this or he did not know it, so it killed him because he heard him talking to you and warned you from him after he discovered what he was really. He heard him because he has got a very sensitive ears" Said the old lady. "Your daughter now in a great danger, either he will eat her or either he is indeed wants her a wife to carry his children and in this case she will also turn to his kind.

The father looked in horrible shape while he listened to the old lady talking. "What shall I do? " Said the father in a weak voice.
Said the old lady:" Try to reach them fast and tell them that her mother feels so ill after her daughter left her. Be careful not to let your fear appears in your voice or turn your eyes from his eyes away and the most important of all do not turn your head ever to the left, whatever happens".
The father went to his home dragging his feet, pearly can walk. He told his wife that something came up and he needs to travel urgently. She asked him what is the matter but he could not answer her. What would he say to her" The father thought in his mind. He preferred to remain silent while she was asking him many questions. "Don't worry my dear, I will be with you soon. Only wish me luck and later I will tell you every thing but now I shall say no more." Said the father.
The father moved immediately in the direction that the vehicle went on and remembered the name of the place that his son in-low told him that he lives in it. Throughout the trip he hoped to meet with them shortly before their arrival to the country where he thought there might be other creatures like him and maybe they gather on him and his daughter. He wondered : " How difficult it would be not turning your head to the left?!!" The father thought.
