Chapter 4

"Cody, what is this? Please tell me what's going on!" Sarah said sounding worried. This was weird because I've never seen her so scared before.

"Calm down we're going to find out, first we have to find everyone else."

I couldn't even explain the surrounding we were in, it was so eerie, fog was everywhere and crows were fluttering on top of us. There was no town anymore just the church. I took one step real slowly and Sarah followed behind me.

"I said nothing like this would happen again," I said to myself.

We kept walking towards the church its creepy architecture sent chills down my spine. I could still see the sun, it was behind the clouds causing a white glare. The air and wind was getting cold too. Sarah grabbed hold of my arm and we continued walking.

"Is there any place in Whitechapel that's not creepy?"

"The video game store?"

"No thank you."

The church was getting closer and bigger, a huge lump formed into my throat. Who even thought it would be a good idea to go in here anyways? Sometimes my friends can be stupid. We were finally able to get to the church's wall and I placed my hand on it. It felt cold and wet. It was made out of stone bricks.

"If they're not here, then I don't know where they are," I said.

"I just want to get out of here, this place is too creepy."

"Then let's get searching, the more time we have the better, and once we get out we never mention this again."

I walked around a corner of the church and saw nothing but more fog and trees.

"Cody, where are you going?"

"Looking for Ethan, Benny, and Rory."

"Well don't go without me!"

Sarah caught up to me and stayed behind me, usually she's not like this, she's more brave.

"Where could have they gone?" how is this possible?"

"This is Whitechapel how is anything here possible?"

"It's just a thought."

I walked down the wall and suddenly I heard something. I pressed my ear against it and could hear it. It was a ghostly whisper. It sent shivers down my back.

"Cody, what are you doing?"

"I hear something."

"What, what is it?"

"Quiet! Let me listen."

Monstra defixit huius uille pro centuries numquam pacem agens eam ad togatos, cum bellum nobis nostri potestatem, et interficiam.

"What are they saying?" Sarah asked sounding worried.

"I don't know, it's in another language, probably latin."

"We need to get out of here! Latin isn't a good sign, this place is evil! That's why we're not allowed in here!"

"Captain obvious, it wasn't our idea to go in here okay, now let's just keep calm and find them, then we'll get out and it'll all be over."

I listened again, there was no more whispering. We both walked down the side of the wall and saw the entrance to the church, it had a giant wooden door and a rusted bell on the chapel.

"I always thought churches were safe haven from evil."

"Well we're going inside so be prepared."

"Are you serious?"

"Do you want to find Ethan, Benny, and Rory or not? If we don't then we'll both be in trouble possibly go to prison."

"Let's just get it over with."

I walked up the steps and glanced at the eerie architecture, I shuddered and continued to the door which had larger metal rusted doorknobs. I placed my hand on one and opened it up.

"Sarah, come on!" I said in a harsh whisper.

She looked worried and followed me in. I closed the door behind us and surprisingly the entire church was empty. All of the pews were gone and there was nothing but I wide open space and a pillar at the far end.

At the far end were three boys, Ethan, Benny, and Rory all tied up.

"Oh my gosh!" Sarah said as we both ran up to them.

"Who did this to you," I asked.

"We don't know we kind of sort of blacked out," Ethan said.

We grabbed the ropes and untied them as best as we could, they were able to break free later.

"Thanks, now how do we get out of here?" Benny asked.

"We don't know, when we crossed the gate the entire town seemed to disappear."

"So where are we?" Sarah said.

"We could possibly be in some sort of pocket dimension," Ethan said.

"Have you ever seen a pocket dimension like this?"

"No, usually they're a same exact copy of our universe with a little bit of difference."

"Great so we could be in hell for all that matters?"

"I doubt it!" Ethan scoffed.

Suddenly and unknown force picked up Ethan and threw him across the room. Everyone gasped until the same thing happened to Benny and then Rory. I happened to Sarah and then suddenly me. It felt like being kicked with a huge shoe.

My head landed on the door of the church causing my skull to break open but suddenly healed. I looked at the door and saw it was locking up by itself. We all ran back to each other. Benny got a bloody scratch on his eye and Ethan had blood coming from his face.

"What was that?" I said to Ethan in a panicked worry.

"I-I don't know!" he said stuttering holding his shirt sleeve to soak up the blood.

The entire room started shaking, it felt like and earthquake. I looked out the stain glass windows and saw shadows dancing around them. It was like they were circling the entire building.

"Benny, get us out of this!" Sarah shouted!

"Quiet I'm trying to think."

As the building was shaking there was a deep demonic voice.

"YOU CONVENED INTO MY SANCTUARY SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!"

Benny was trying to think and suddenly the stained glass started to break and all of the shadows formed into ugly creatures. One was a man with a stitched up face, another thing was this strange creature with blue eyes and had razor claws, and then there was some kind of grudge girl, those were only the three of many.

"Benny, hurry up!" Sarah shouted.

"Okay, hud pwerus yn mynd รข ni i ffwrdd !"

We suddenly fell down what seemed like a hole and then I found out we were teleporting. I then saw all of us in back of the gate looking at the village, suddenly a teacher saw us and looked furious. Now we were in trouble.
