Ch. 32 Hail Satan?
Jennifer needed to regroup herself and reflect on everything that has happened all in the same night. So much has happened in such a short period of time. It was so overwhelming for her. She was only 14 years old and in foster care. Jennifer started to feel like Laura in wanting to go back to the orphanage. Her life was fine until her and her friends were adopted by Mrs. Mary to provide a better life.
But this was no life at all! Jennifer began to wonder how long Mrs. Mary has been doing this. Were Jennifer and her friends the first adopted children? Has Mrs. Mary been doing this for a long time without getting caught? She didn't get it! She felt so angry and confused. "I just want a normal life just like any other teenage girl! Why do I have to go through this? Why do Laura, Anne and Josh have to go through this? I wanna get out of this nightmare!"
Jennifer began to cry again. But then Jennifer remembered that she needed to check on her friends. "I need to check on the others and see if they're ok and why they didn't respond to me. That really upset me!" So Jennifer found the strength to stop crying, got up and before she could run to the door, a familiar voice shouted.
"Jennifer!" yelled the familiar voice.
Jennifer looked where she heard the voice. "Mrs. Mary?" After reflecting on everything that has taken place and realizing who Mrs. Mary really was, she began to tremble with fear. Knowing that Mrs. Mary was a real Satanist, Jennifer couldn't help but wanna get away from her and her mansion as soon as possible!
Mrs. Mary walked out from the back of the panel with her hands behind her back. "Jennifer…you've been a terrible daughter. My…my sons are dead because of you!" she enraged.
"Huh? Your sons? You don't mean…..Scissorman!...and that…..giant baby?" Jennifer was truly confused. How could that be? Did Mrs. Mary really give birth to monsters? Was she a monster herself?
Mrs. Mary then pulled out a chef's knife and power walked towards her.
Jennifer was totally caught off guard but once again had to think quickly! Sadly, she didn't have enough time to run away because Mrs. Mary came from the side where the door was, blocking her way to it. Jennifer's heart raced in sudden dread as Mrs. Mary quickly approached her. "Nooooooo!"
When close enough, Mrs. Mary raised her knife and attempted to stab her.
However, Jennifer was quick enough to catch Mrs. Mary's arm with both of her arms. Trying to push Mrs. Mary off her was quite challenging. Mrs. Mary was older and stronger than Jennifer, so she had to use a lot more muscle. "Get….away from me…..you Satanic woman!" Jennifer then found the strength to push her down and immediately ran to the door. She tried to open it but to her surprise, it was locked.
Why did they lock the door? Did they hate Jennifer all of a sudden? Was the door somehow jammed? Or did Mrs. Mary's satanic power lock it?
So then, Jennifer decided to bang on the door as hard as she could. "Heeeelp!...Josh! Anne! Laura!"
Outside, they all heard Jennifer bang on the door.
"Jennifer's in trouble!" cried Laura.
"Come on! Let's go help her!" commanded Joshua.
They all stopped what they were doing and rushed to the door.
Joshua made it first and tried opening it. "Jenny!"
She could barely hear Joshua, even with him just on the other side of the door. Maybe that's why they didn't respond earlier. The door was almost soundproof. "Josh! I can't open it! It's stuck!"
They could barely hear her too.
"Hang on!" Joshua tried kicking the door open but it didn't budge.
As he kicked the door in, Jennifer stepped back in hopes that it would open. She watched the door get kicked and it looked like it would almost open but it wouldn't. Tears began to flow down her cheeks once again. She turned around and saw Mrs. Mary getting up. Jennifer turned back to the door and yelled again. "Hurry guys! Mrs. Mary's coming!"
"Let's all try to break the door down!" said Anne with urgency.
The 3 of them pushed and kicked at the door.
Jennifer watched the door as it was pushed and shoved but never opened. "I hope they can open it before Mrs. Mary comes!" She took turns looking back and forth at the door and Mrs. Mary.
By Mrs. Mary falling to the ground, it only angered her even more. When she sat up, her hair looked frazzled as if she was stressed out. "Jennifer!...I'm going to kill you….you and your naughty friends!"
Jennifer ignored Mrs. Mary's threat and continued to watch the door. The door looked like it was about to open but never did.
At this point, the others were getting tired of pushing, shoving and kicking the door. They all were panting like a pack of dogs.
"What's wrong with this door?" said Anne angrily at the door.
"I know I'm so tired!" Laura grabbed her knees.
"I don't know what's going on! But it wasn't locked before! We've got to think of something!" Joshua was getting angry as well.
None of them wanted to lose each other.
When the banging stopped, Jennifer became disappointed. She walked to the door and yelled, "Hello! Can you guys hear me?"
On the other side of the door, the gang heard Jennifer yell but it was really low.
"What she say?" Anne looked confused.
"Let's huddle up to the door!" said Joshua.
They all huddled up and listened closely to Jennifer.
"Jenny!" yelled Joshua.
"Josh!" Jennifer cried on the other side.
"Are you ok Jennifer?" yelled Anne.
"Guys hurry! Mrs. Mary's….." Jennifer was cut off.
"Jennifer!" screamed Laura.
"Jenny! Come on girls, let's bust this door open!" Joshua encouraged them all.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was interrupted by Mrs. Mary again.
This time, Mrs. Mary was more agitated. "Jennifer! You little brat! You and your friends!" She quickly stood up and grabbed her knife.
Jennifer didn't have time to wait on the door.
"Jennifer!...only you!...only you!" Mrs. Mary came with her knife again.
Mrs. Mary came so fast that Jennifer barely dodged the bullet and gasped. Jennifer was now in panic state. Her heart was racking, her hands were shaking, her knees were trembling with intense fear. She even broke out in a sweat. 'I'm so scared! I don't know what to do now! If they don't open that door soon, Mrs. Mary's literally going to kill us!' Jennifer said in her head. "Stay away from me Satan! You're a monster! You're a Satanist, aren't you?" she called Mrs. Mary 'Satan' because maybe she was possessed by Satan himself.
"You're right Jennifer. I am. I'm not only going to kill all you naughty children but I'm going to sacrifice you to my Lord, Satan. Hail Satan!" Mrs. Mary threw up the devil sign with her left hand, held the knife in the other all while chanting 'Hail Satan!'
While Mrs. Mary chanted, Jennifer was able to look into her eyes and witness a demonic, reptilian spirit. "Now I know you're a monster!" Jennifer walked backward as Mrs. Mary slowly walked towards her. She looked back and saw that she was getting close to the ladder. Jennifer gasped and looked back at Mrs. Mary.
Mrs. Mary stopped chanting and put her hand down. "Now Jennifer….prepare to be sacrificed!" She gripped her knife tighter and came for Jennifer.
Jennifer was about 5 feet away from her and about 3 feet from falling down the ladder. What else was there to do? Everywhere she turned was a dead end. She'd already pulled the 2 switches earlier.
Mrs. Mary wasn't like Scissorman, a.k.a. her son.
So what was Jennifer to do with her? And what about the others? Will they ever get that door open or did they give up? So many questions ran through Jennifer's mind.
"Die!" She charged towards Jennifer with the same intention of stabbing her again.
"Noooo!" Jennifer screamed again. She did her best to run past her again and got into the same predicament.
"Here we go again Jennifer." Mrs. Mary teased her once more. She pressed down even harder this time.
Jennifer didn't feel as strong this time. She could feel Mrs. Mary really trying to jab at her. She had to take a deep breath and focus on disarming the woman. Jennifer was successfully able to grab Mrs. Mary's knife and threw it across the room. 'Got her disarmed!" she said to herself.
But this only frustrated Mrs. Mary. "Why you!" She became more aggressive than ever. By Mrs. Mary already being close to Jennifer, she reached down and was able to get a good grip on Jennifer's neck and strangle the poor girl.
Jennifer's airway was cut off so fast that it caused her to choke and suddenly gasp for air. "I've got you now Jennifer! First you, then your friends!" Mrs. Mary sadistically choked her.
The more Jennifer struggled, the tighter Mrs. Mary's grip became. Pretty soon her face started to turn red. She couldn't scream for help this time.
Will the others be able to save her in time or will she be one of the unfortunates?
At this point, Jennifer felt unconscious. 'I can't breathe, I'm going to die! Josh, where are you?' she thought to herself coughing and desperately gasping for air.
"I'm going to murder you Jennifer! Especially after you murdered my sons!" Mrs. Mary wanted to get her last squeeze to finish the girl. "Ready to die Jennifer? Ready to die for my Lord Satan? Hail Satan!"
