Human sacrifice

I loved writing this chapter, because its the first sign of real danger for our protagonists

Agathe walks out of her room in her pink Hello Kitty dressing gown, and bunny slippers.

She walks into Bolin and Carissa's rooms.

"Come on, I want to tell you the plan"?

"At 4:30 in the morning"?

"You know where were going"?

"Yes! I do".

"Where"?

"How on earth were you able to get internet"?

Carissa and Bolin both harass.

"Slow down!

Litochoro, Greece.

And I have 4G".

Agathe says answering both of their questions.

"So, what do we do"?

Carissa asks.

"Ok, here's the plan!

we get up at 5:30, pack our bags, and finally, get their bags downstairs for breakfast at six".

"I like that plan".

Carissa rolls her eyes.

"Anything with food you like".

"Can you hear that"?

Agathe asks, gesturing her friends to be quiet, there was indeed a haunting grumbling sound.

"What is it"?

Bolin asks.

"I don't know, it's coming from the lobby downstairs".

Through the crack of the door in the lobby, they saw Mister and Mrs Jones stirring a cauldron.

At first glance, you would have thought they were getting soup of the day ready.

"Where is the sacrifice"?

"Oh".

"I knew I should have got it myself".

"Well, what do we do now"?

"We're going to have to go out and find one".

Just, then!

There was a creak.

Mister Jones goes to check what the noise was, Agathe and Bolin hide behind the door without breathing.

Agathe gestures for Carissa to come and hide with them, but she shakes her head.

'Of course, she was being the hero'!

Mister Jones then comes closer and grabs Carissa, Agathe then looks terrified. 

"I found a sacrifice"!

"Eternal life, at last"!

"What are you"?

Carissa asks.

"Never you mind".

She picks out the best needle to go through Carissa's skin and extract blood.

"Now, this can go two ways".

"This can be quick, or slow and painful.

It depends on how much you wriggle and squirm".

Carissa spits in Mrs Jones face.

"Slow way it is then"!

"Let her go"!

Agathe orders the Jones.

"Deal with her".

Mister Jones nods and tries to grab Agathe.

However, she was too quick for the 80 year old man.

"You fool"!

"She's a slippery little mouse"!

Agathe was hiding down the hallway.

"There's only one way too catch a mouse, set a mouse trap".

Mrs Jones nails were digging into Carissa's skin.

Bolin groans, he could tell he would regret what Bolin was about to do.

He gets out his football and kicks the ball in Mrs Jones face, resulting in her

releasing Carissa, and giving her a chance to run.

Agathe, Carissa and Bolin both hide in their rooms.

"The doors locked"!

This was a good chance for them to sneak out through the front windows 

'Finally, they were safe!'

The sunrises as they escape through the forest.

The Jones family had given up looking.

"I hope we have everything, because we are not going back to that place of hell".

The evening started to approach after a day of walking.

"Carissa, are you ok"?

"Yes, I'm fine. Stop asking"!

Agathe looks back for a second, there was no sign.

"Its clear".

Agathe assures her.

Carissa nods, and sits for a second.

Agathe then tears her arm sleeve, and inspects her arm.

"Oh my god, Carissa! your arms weeping"!

Carissa then bursts into tears.

"Let's get the sleeping bags ready".

Agathe instructs Bolin.

He nods, and begins to set up the camping set.

Agathe then proceeds to comfort Carissa who was in floods of tears for five hours.

As the moon shined down on them.
