Chapter 13

Deep within the woods was a secluded area. In that secluded area was a cabin. It was quite small and had two windows at each side with a small wooden door at the middle. In front of the cabin,few feet away, was an old car. In the living room inside the cabin, three men sat around a table, playing cards and laughing. Among the three men was the priest who performed the 'exorcism' at Julian's house. He wore a black tank top and sky blue jeans. The remaining two men were shirtless. One was a bit stout and had short, curly, brown hair with brown eyes. The other was blonde and thin with blue eyes. A pile of cash was stacked on the table in the middle of the trio as they played.

"I tell you," The apparently fake priest bellowed with laughter. "That guy was a sucker. A huge one to be exact!"

"How easily did he fall for it?" The blonde asked, wiping tears away from his eyes as he shook uncontrollably with laughter of his own.

"Hook, line and sinker!" The fake priest cried out.

"What a gullible numbskull," The brown haired man shook his head. "On a scale of one to hundred, that guy's stupidity should be at ten thousand. Free $50! "

The trio roared in laughter simultaneously.

The priest stood up after a while and stretched.

"Well, I'm famished," He said,moving towards the the kitchen. "I'm going to get a beer. Does anybody want some?"

"Sure." The brown haired man said.

"No, thanks. I'm good." The blonde said.

The priest shrugged and made his exit. Making his way towards the fridge, he opened it and took out two cans of beer. As soon as he closed the fridge, a sudden air blew into the kitchen. He shuddered as he suddenly felt chilly.

"That was weird." He mumbled, shaking his head.

As soon as he entered the living room, he was shocked at the sight that met him.

His two companions stood rooted to the spot with their hands firmly by their sides. They stared at him with blank expressions on their face and lifeless eyes.

"Guys?" The priest cautiously walked towards them.

"One of the men." They chorused.

"What?" He paused in his steps. "Guys, what's the meaning of this? Why are you acting weird?"

The priest's heart nearly flew out of his chest as his companions jolted suddenly. Their heads tilted to the side and they began to chant:

"One of the men.

Where your fate lies.

It shall happen then.

You are sacrifice."

The priest swallowed as they both stretched out an index finger each and pointed beyond him. Turning around, he cried out in shock as he saw the predatory smile of the evil figure. The figure's grin widened and black liquid began to spill from the corners of it's mouth. It's smile changed into a laugh as it began to walk towards the priest menacingly.

"What the hell?!" The priest shrieked.

He turned around to run but he felt the figure's burnt hands gripping his shoulder tight. Cold sweat broke out on his body as he felt the figure breathe in to his ear.

"Sacrifice." It whispered.
