Well I'm sorry I haven't posted in a really long time I promise there will be so much more on the coming week. :)
Suddenly he writhed in pain, clutching his chest. A man stood behind him holding a cross, with a single red gemstone in the middle and intricate carvings along the edges. "You know better than to torment people."
Alfendi lay weak on the floor.
"Wh-Who are ya" Lucy asked.
"My names Justin. We better get out of here before he gets up. He's not asleep but the cross has depleted his energy. Come now, it won't be long until he's coming for us."
"Where are we going?..."
"He can't get over that hill." He raises his hand, pointing towards the open door.
"If we make it there we'll be safe... For today."
Lucy looked it and saw the red light spilling over the hill.
"Wait... It's sunrise already?" Lucy gasped.
...
"Who was that guy."
Alfendi had a splitting headache and was furious that someone had taken away his prey. Not to mention his only other food source, besides the damn rats. He kicked one across the floor before rushing over to it and biting into its body. It shook and then fell limp in his hands.
"I know him from somewhere..." Potty's voice sounded agitated in his head. "He sounds familiar, but... I didn't get a good look at his face."
"I'm sure he'll be back... All we have to do is wait." Placid replied.
Looking down at the blood soaked rat in his hand he threw it into the wall and it made a wet thud.
"God damn rats"
...
Lucy stopped just before the entrance gate to breathe and Justin produced a key from his pocket.
"Where did ya get 'at from" Lucy said as she noticed it fitting into the padlock holding the gate closed.
"The church keeps many remains, although inaccessible to the public. There's always going to be secrets."
He looked at her.
"You do know what I mean, right?"
"'at man? He wasn't... Human was 'e?"
The man narrowed his eyes. "Not a soul. Do you hear?"
"Yes but-"
He cleared his throat and unlocked the gate. It swung open reluctantly the metal ringing through the eerily silent night.
"I knew she couldn't do it!" Florence exclaimed excitedly.
"I did, t' sun had already started to rise the moment I came out."
"You were in there for about 5 minutes and then there was the red light in the sky and you somehow had a key to the gate."
"T-that wasn't me. It was Justin, 'e opened t' gate. He-"
"I think she's gone mad already." Sniffer said, laughing.
"I ain't mad! I saw wha' I saw and I'm gunna prove to you all... I'll find t' truth."
Lucy turned around and the gate had been shut. The house looked darker than it had been.
"There's som'in 'bout 'at 'ouse and who-"
"And who.. ? Was there someone else there?" Sniffer asked eager to hear the rest.
"No 'at's not what I said." Lucy said trying to avoid giving away her secret.
Sniffer, Florence and Dustin looked at each other. "Suure" they said in unison.
"Was he cute?"
"W-wha-!" Shocked, Lucy took a step back raising her hands in front of herself.
"You were blushing. It's a dead giveaway!" Florence grinned.
The boys laughed.
Lucy crossed her arms and pouted.
"No..." Lucy could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as her face began to ache.
"He was too!" Dustin said, almost yelling.
"You make me almost want to see what he looks like. But he lives in that creepy place, I'm not going anywhere near it."
"Well I'm going" Sniffer said "I'm going to go investigate"
Before anyone could stop him he rushed over the gate.
"No!" Lucy called out and then went after him.
He was already over the gate when Dustin decided to join them.
"Oooh no! You're not dragging me into this..." Flo said as she bit her lip.
"... Uh fine! ... Wait for me."
"Sniffer stop!" Lucy called to him as he reached for the door knob. He paused. "What for?" He didn't wait for an answer as he shoved the door open, with a loud creak it swung open and he fell into the darkness. Then, the door slammed shut.
"No!" Lucy cried out.
"Whats the matter with you." Said Dustin as he opened the door. "It's just the wind."
Flo had finally caught up as Dustin walked inside. "Hey wait for meee!"
She ran up to him.
Lucy was hesitant. "I-I have to stop them before... Whatever he was... Huh?"
Lucy looked up at the top most window. Yellow eyes peered down at her before disappearing back into the darkness as the dark curtains swung back into place.
"I 'av a bad feeling 'bout this..."
