It was around 7:48 when I was abruptly woken about the word of the 'clergy' was approaching had been spreading for the past week or so,

but today was the day.

The group only appeared every month or so, their ghouls they were called followed their 'papa's' around wherever they went. Accompanying the papa's around town as they picked up fruits and vegetables etc in small portions.

I walked outside, seeing the group sent by the clergy. But, their were always 4 of their leaders, now, only one. People were scared 'why are there only one?' And 'their going to curse us all!' Things like that were being spread around by the clumps of townsfolk. I bumped my way up to the front, basically shoving my way throw people who were shoving me back. Instead of getting to the front of the people outside my current residence, I was shoved forwards out of the clump, and landing right in front of the group. People behind me were gasping, I hesitantly grabbed a gloved hand that was extended to me, looking at who helped me up; it was one of the ghouls, their chrome plated mask slightly to the side "are you okay love?" his voice was softly spoken helping me stand up "uhm.. yes, im quite alright" i managed to wheeze out, he was shoved aside by their papa "be careful next time little one. We wouldn't want to 'curse you'" he said, glaring at the towns people, he rubbed the dirt from my face, pulling it to the side to see the large bruise forming.

Papa sighed, holding my hand "you aren't... afraid of us are you?" Papa looked behind him at the masked ghouls, I shook my head. Sure they were descendants of Satan, but they weren't actually Satan himself. Papa was still holding my hand, I shook my head, he smiled yelling at his ghouls in Latin. One of the ghouls took my other hand as secundo let go; leading us inside the clergy
