A Dead Man's Bride - Cursed One

Chapter 17

As they reached Mr. Jones waited at the station to receive them. Rita had told him everything that had happened these past few days and he had already arranged the transportation into the woods to look out for the chaple. So they all left for the search into the deepest parts of the woods.

They pitched in a tent later that evening and waited for the sunrise, Mr. Jones knew the woods a bit, he had been into the woods as a young boy with his father for hunting.

Mr. Jones, "my father always said, this land has taken many lives, known and unknown."

Father Mendez, "we are here to stop it from taking any more lives, we need to find out the truth behind what is killing innocent people."

Mr. Jones, "don't worry father, we are safe till I have my hunting guns. It is powerful enough to bring down a wild elephant."

Jessica, "lets not put our trust in guns and human strength. God has led us here and He will protect us."

The moment Jessica said these words there was a humiliating laughter sound, they all were shocked and equally scared at that moment. It was as if someone was hearing everything they said.

Father Mendez, "fear not, in this moment let not your faith faulter. Hold hands and pray, these are powers of darkness that are mocking our faith."

They held eachothers hands and started to pray for God's strength but there blew a very fierce wind and tore apart there tents. They held on to eachothers hands and hoped for the winds to stop but it continued for a good fifteen minutes and then suddenly the temprature dropped to a minus 7 degrees and they started to shiver. There was no help visible, all they had was eachother. They started moving up north, Mr. Jones expressed high possibilities of the chaple being up north because it was the deepest and unexplored part of the land.

As they walked up north Jessica noticed that father Mendez was struggling, he could barely take any more from the rough weather. Whatever warm cloths they carried was not sufficient for him. Jessica kept praying for help, she knew it would only become worst further on and she was prepared. They walked a little further and Rita noticed a broken wooden house at a distance. Their sprite revived for a moment for it was a possiblity that they had finally found the chaple. They rushed towards it, father Mendez was helped by Mr. Jones and they made it to the enterance of the wooden structure.
