Chapter 32

"It's your fault!"

"All your fault!"

"You cursed us!"

"Our death will weigh on you!"

"Oh, shut up for once!" Julia faced her sisters, just when they began to corner her. "I already told you that I haven't summoned anything! That ritual was fake, the real one is more complex!"

"And how do we know you didn't do it before, huh?"

"You're a witch!"

"Witch!"

"You deserve the bonfire!"

"SILENCE!"

Attention turned to Sister Lucrecia, who had risen from examining the limp body of the oldest Sister. She glared at each and every girl.

"You should be ashamed" she continued "to accuse your partner like that... I won't tolerate it! Much less without evidence or logical foundations. It is not the solution and it will not get us out of this predicament either. For now, what we know is that inside this compound we are safe, but we don't know for how long. There must be a way to notify the Brotherhood or ask for help..."

"... or break the curse" Said a little one.

"Yes" one of Julia's harassers looked at her again "and what better way than to destroy the fountain?"

The young woman went to answer, but a small voice interrupted her:

"Ponvi can go!" And this time, they turned to the girls huddled in the background.

"Anisa!" Marie muttered. "Shh!"

"But he can, right?" She insisted. "He's strong and smart. He can go find Gabriel and..."

"Are you kidding?" Another stalker mocked.

"How do they want us to trust a dog?" The other pronounced the word with disgust.

Anisa got angry:

"He's more trustworthy than you! And it's not a dog, it's a...!"

"It's all right, Annie." Marie managed to grab her and cover her mouth before she made a serious mistake.

Of course, the girl tried to wriggle away, but she held her tighter.

"Marie?"

The girl swallowed hard and answered:

"Yes, Sister Lucrecia?"

"Does she mean your puppy?"

"Um... yes, ma'am."

"And... who is Gabriel?" She approached slowly "Is he your friend?"

Oh dear, she thought , this is bad.

The little girl took advantage of her distraction to let go.

"Yes, and he is very strong. He can help us."

"Anisa!"

"Ha" said another girl "he's the apprentice of the Brotherhood!"

"How come they know each other so well?" They began to murmur.

"He could only have seen it a couple of times, right?"

"Could it be that... you've crossed campus, Marie?" The next spoke in a derogatory manner.

"Hahaha" another laughed "as Delina said, she has crossed the line!"

"She will be sent to hell!"

"It's cursed! It's her fault the monster is here!"
