||Chapter 74: Too Much Happening||

Mr Murtaugh picked up a leaflet, scanning it before looking at Wilson,"So, the Mayor's thinking or hoping this fair goes well?", Wilson peaked out from the storage room,"I think it's more of, an attempt to erase what happened in the past.", Mr Murtaugh rolled his eyes,"He needs a good whack in the head for some common sens-", "AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!", Mr Murtaugh jumped, Wilson immediately came out of the storage room.
. . .
Ivan!

Trinity climbed into Mr Wilson's Office, she would never have dreamed of doing this without reason but given what's happening and what happened before; She had to take action, they had to take action to protect themselves.
Doing some digging, she found Headmistress Valeria's old stuff from old forms, notes and other things.
What stuck out to Trinity was the handwriting,  raking out the note she got that told her if she lost the coin, she'd lose her life; The handwriting was similar.
Did she write it?
But news got out about her death, did she do it before she died?
Trinity left the office through the door, looking for Ivan.
Maybe she's not really dead, or maybe someone in the cult just knew how to forge handwriting.
[BUZZ] [BUZZ]
Was her phone ringing, why was she being called by Ivan?
"Ivan?"
She froze, noticing the flashing light of a phone. . . Not Ivan; But Crowface.
He was holding what she thinks it Ivan's phone, she was frozen as it kept ringing.
"Lose a coin. . . Lose a life. . . Now what happened to your coin after you put it in that machine?"
Trinity's heart stopped, her stomach turning into a knot.
The coin. She didn't get it out of the machine!

"HEY CROWFACE!"
Down the in hall, in the dark she was shocked to see Mr Murtaugh and Mr Wilson, holding a shovel and Mr Murtaugh holding some chemicals.
"TRINITY; RUN NOW, IVAN'S FINE JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!"
"STAY OUT OF THIS YOU TWO IF YOU WISH FOR YOUR LIVES TO CONTINUE!!"
Trinity took off running.
Crowface growled, coming out like a bird like sound before chuckling.
"Okay then."
They suddenly waved their ends, lights began to shattered, exploding and going out.
"Time for a new game of Cat and Mouse."

Delory made it to Otto's house, going inside it was filled with animals that had been stuffed though he did find the ones that were dyed a little nice.
Delory shook his head, creeping around while trying not to be creeped out by all this-
He doesn't understand why Otto does this for a living.
Then he heard humming, peaking around the corner he saw Otto moving a Taxidermy Dog that was possibly the one that got hit.
Guess he finished it, but what caught his eye was stuffed animals from birds, Bunnies, foxes; All different colours.
"Still no idea for a prize. . . You know what? Screw the Mayor, how's he gonna know I didn't put a prize them."
Delory nods, agreeing; He may be his dad, but his dad could be very unreasonable and stupid: He ain't denying it, he lives with the guy.
So Delory crept out, guess Otto was good.

'Caw' 'Caw'

Delory, frowned; Looking up to see a whole group of crows circling above him.
"What the-?"

~

Otto finished the last animal toy,"Finally. . .", he put it in the box, closed it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"GET OFF ME!! OW!!!"
Otto jumped, rushing out to see one of the kids being attacked to the ground by crows.
"HEY!! GET OFF THE BOY!!"
Otto rushed out, gun over his shoulder as he waved the crows off, yelling as they flew off into the sky.
"COME BACK AND I'LL HAVE YOU ALL STUFFED!!!"
. . .
Delory sat there, if he didn't know bird attacks could be painful before, he did know; It hurt so much.
"Sorry about that, I'll. . . Call your mom and you come inside for plasters or bandages."
"Please."
So Otto helped Delory up, got him inside but as they did Delory noticed that Otto's dummies that he uses to practice shooting, they all looked oddly like the Cult Members; So maybe Otto had a past with them? Maybe they did something to him??
He didn't know, he was too sore from the birds to think about it.
