The Old Church 14

Father Lazarus was exhausted. After the visit to the Bishop, Father Francis had volunteered to gather the

materials they will need while he returned to tell Sholay what the result was. After taking her through when

they will begin the ritual, he went back to his room and fell on his bed.

She had been laid to a room on the lowest floor of the church. It could be passed for a basement but it was a

room. A room used in ancient times as a room for exorcism. She was held chained to the walls on her hands

and feet.

An image fl ashed through her mind, of the old man who had been chained like this. Fear crept to her senses

and she began to hyperventilate.

"Is this necessary?" She asked

"Yes, it's to keep you safe" Father Francis replied with a little pity.

Suddenly her eyes grew wide and she flared up in fury. Her features began to contort, reaching out her hands

to grab Father Francis but they were held with the chains. She now looked unrecognizable.
