Five Nights With Foxy 2: The Exorcism

Chapter 11:

Chapter 11: Confessions Part Two

 

Meanwhile, Mindy and Orion were sitting in a corner reading a Bible, since they'd never so much as laid eyes on one before and wanted to see what was inside. Mangle had scampered off to help Jeremy with some things, and so the twins were quietly skimming the book.

 

"Hey big brother, stop here." Mindy pointed at a verse on the page. "You can read better than I can; nobody ever taught me all the way."

 

"Please?" Orion started his sister in the eye.

 

"Please can you read this verse to me, Orion?" Mindy did her best impression of puppy-dog eyes. Orion huffed.

 

“Fine. This time only, though.” Orion agreed reluctantly. He cleared his throat. "'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' 1 John 1:9." Mindy and Orion's faces paled.

 

"C-confess our sins...?" Mindy squeaked. "Does that mean..."

 

"Oh my..." Orion rested his head on his knees and set the bible to the side. "We need to tell Jeremy."

 

"He won't believe us." Mindy said, simply afraid of what would become of their confessions.

 

"He's religious, Mindy. He'll believe us." Orion replied, still not raising his head.

 

"Enough with the bad jokes!" Mindy smacked the back of her brother's head.

 

"It's not a joke, Mindy, he's gonna believe us!" Orion sighed. "Come on. Let's go tell him, I'll speak first." Orion led his sister out of the corner and stopped at the door frame of the front room, where Jeremy was.

 

"Stay here." Orion whispered to Mindy. "I'll start a conversation and casually bring it up." Orion cleared his throat and walked into the room.

 

"Hey, Orion, I was wondering where you were." Jeremy sat up. On his lap was Mangle.

 

"Hi, Jeremy." Orion sat down in one of the armchairs. "Listen, can I ask you a question?"

 

"Of course, what about?" Jeremy replied, fondly patting Mangle's head and getting soft purrs in return.

 

"That scar on your forehead." Orion said. "How did you get it? Do you remember?"

 

"I might." Jeremy suddenly became more serious. "Allow me some time to think."

 

"Of course." Orion tried to be as polite as possible. Mangle caught his eye.

 

"Here, Mangle. Here, boy." Orion patted his knee and Mangle crawled over to Orion.
