|49| The Wrong Idea

"Satanists do that"

"That's what I'm saying!"

●●●●●●●●

When Leah woke up Lucas was gone, she found Jason knocking on the bathroom door. "You alright in there, Sinlcair?" He asks.

Found him, she thought.

"I'm good" Lucas answers, putting a smile on Jason's face.

"How much did he drink?" He asks Leah, who just shrugged her shoulders.

Jason walked away and the toilet inside flushed, and Lucas walked out.

"How're you feeling?" Leah asks, rubbing his shoulders slightly.

"Like I'm gonna die" Lucas answers.

"You'll be okay" Leah tells him as sirens approach the abandoned diner.

They were sitting on the outside of a building, Lucas was still rubbing his head. "I'm sure its nothing all right?" Patrick asks, walking over to the pair. "Probably the neighbors complained about noise or some shit"

"Yeah" Lucas nods, as Jason comes storming out of the diner.

Everyone followed him as he walks into the woods, though they stopped at the end of the road.

"Eddie Munson" Jason says, pointing to a picture of the boy. Leah gives Lucas a worried glance. "Hes a part of that freak devil cult, Hellfire. The cops, they say Chrissy went to him to buy drugs"

"Drugs?" Patrick questions. "No"

"Thats what I said" Jason agrees. "Chrissy would never touch that shit. They wouldn't even show her parents her face. I don't know what this freak did to Chrissy, but it was something sick"

"Probably sacrificed her, drained her blood for the devil" A basketball member says. "Satanists do that"

"That's what I'm saying" Jason insists. "Its this cult"

"Hellfire isn't a cult" Lucas defends. "Its... its just a D&D club. Dungeons and Dragons"

"Its a game" Leah starts. "A board game. Nothing to do with the Devil"

"And how exactly, do you know all that, freshman?" A boy asks, walking close to us.

"Uh" Lucas breathes. "Its my sister. Yeah  shes like a total nerd" He lies.

"She tells us about it when I go to his house" Leah explains.

"I'm sure your sister isn't killing people" Jason says, putting a hand on Lucas's shoulder. "But I've read the wrong person plays this game, it can warp they're mind. They confuse fantasy and reality, and innocent people die. I mean, its been happening all over the country. Its an epidemic"

"I've read about that shit" Patrick agrees. "Its real"

"And I think Eddie..." Jason trails off. "He's the wrong type of person, right? You know, he got lost. He thought Chrissy was part of his sick game. And chances are, hes still in the game. Meaning-"

"Hes gonna kill again" A boy finishes for him.

"But not if we can help it" Jason threats. "Would Chrissy want us to just stand by while the cops go around pursuing some bullshit leads, spreading rumors saying shes some druggy?"

"No" The boys (except Lucas) yell.

"No! She would want us to go out there. To do something about it. Wouldn't she?"

"Yeah!"

"Well lets hunt some freak!" Jason yells, and lights up the picture of hellfire club. Leah was relieved that her and Lucas were at a game when they took that, the team would've beat their asses.
