The Beast of the Outer Banks || Kiara Carrera x Male Reader

The Cross

After the events of the night before, the Pogues were chilling in the morning. They were discussing how Y/N terrified everyone last night, making him shrink into himself. They were interrupted by the door to the patio opening, and Sarah walked in.

"Well, hello, princess." JJ greeted her. Kiara slowly woke herself up, and looked to see her friend. "What's up?"

"Shouldn't you be on Figure Eight, with your little group of polo players?" John B asked, bitterly. Rebecca rolled her eyes at him. "Grow up, man."

Sarah smiled at him sarcastically. "Or did you break up with Topper?" John B continued through gritted teeth. "We're just friends."

"He's just a friend. You have a lot of friends Sarah Cameron." He responded. "Yeah, and it seems like you've got some of your own too." She fired back at him.

"Alright, what're you doing here?" He asked, standing up. "I'm here for Pope." She responded, confusing the Heyward boy.

"I think I found the island room."

They promptly got into the Twinkie and set off for Tannyhill. "Guys, listen to this." Pope announced from the backseat. "The diary says the cross holds the most holy relic in all of Christendom. The Garment of the Saviour."

"So wait," Kiara began. "he's saying there's a holy garment inside the cross?"

"Yeah. It says the garment of capable of healing the sick from any malady." Pope read out.

"Mmm, yeah. 'If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.'" JJ recounted, making everyone look at him. "What? I went to Sunday school."

"Sure."

"Well that explains why Limbrey wants the cross so bad. She wants to be healed." Y/N reasoned, to which everyone silently agreed. "What else does it say?" Rebecca asked.

"'Many feel that we have sinned to steal such a sacred thing, and God will strike His vengeance on us.'"

"Well, they were right." Rebecca began. "The boat went down so I'd call that vengeance."

"Yeah, and only Denmark survived."

They sat in silent thought for the rest of the drive, until they pulled up in front of the Cameron home.

Sarah led them upstairs, then toward the end of a hallway.

"This place still freaks me out."

"Yeah, same."

Sarah opened the door, and everyone followed her in. "Pope, look."

The most recent layer of wallpaper had been completely removed, and it showed a large mural covering every wall of the room. "Whoa! You've got to be kidding me." Pope let out as he ventured further inside.

"I know, right? It's the island room." Sarah confirmed. "It's been here this whole time."

Y/N looked at the room confusedly. "How did they not take off any of the paint?" Kie looked at him weirdly, as that was what he had chosen to focus on.

"This definitely means something." JJ surmised as he entered the room. Pope approached a hole in the wall, next to a small sketch of a sign confirming this was Kildare Island. "This is incredible."
