A Dead Man's Bride - Cursed One

Chapter 22

The moment Jessica heard that the chaple was found, she felt finally her prayers were being answered. They both quickly proceeded with Mr. Jones towards it and when they reached there they were astonish to witness it. It was exactly as Jessica had seen it in her dreams.

Father Mendez, "Jessica it is for real, you helped us find it, this will be a gateway to a lot of unknown truth."

Mr. Jones, "I hope this will end all problems of the people of Edunsteen."

Father Mendez, "indeed it will, for now we will know if this is the place where the killer hides."

Mr. Jones, "what do you recommend father, should we go in?"

Father Mendez, "not before we pray, God you have led us here, protect us from whatever we are about to face. Jessica you enter in later, let us get in first."

They open those almost falling apart doors, there was compleat darkness inside and after 150 years as the door was opened for the very first time light had entered in. It was very strange to see that the sanctuary was empty.

Father Mendez, "see if you can pick up something useful and important, we can't be here for too long, as after few hours it will get dark and then this will not be a safe place to be."
Rita, "sure father, I agree, we should leave as soon as possible."

Mr. Jones, "father come here I found something. Looks like a door leading to the basement."

Father Mendez, "let me have a look at it, hmm I see there is something written in Latin, but then it is not very clear as the tablet on which it has been engraphed is rusted. We will carry this tablet along with us."

Rita, "father there is another passage that I see here behind the alter, I think there is a room that it leads too."

Father Mendez, "Rita I think you should go and be outside with Jessica. We will go through this passage and see where it leads too."

Rita, "sure father, be back soon. We and Jessica we will prepare for our return."

And they proceeded through the passage to where it led, the passage was very narrow and dusty. No one had been through it in ages now, all they had was a torch and a gun that Mr. Jones carried. Through all that darkness and difficulty they made it to a door which had no lock to it but again was jammed. Mr. Jones made some efforts to open it and finally when he managed to open it, they were shocked to see what waited for them inside.
