Pain for You, Same for Me

TWO CHAPTERS IN 5 MINUTES BITCHES!!!!😆😄😃😀😅😊
IM A BIT HYPER BUT ENJOY!!!!

Are you sure we're headed in the right direction?" Sam asked Lexi. He was driving the Impala up a very old dirt road that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. Dead trees littered the ground around the road and Sam thought that they were lost.
"I'm sure! I have a very good memory. In about a quarter mile, there's going to be a fork in the road. Keep left, past the "Keep Out" signs. There should be a big field that that has nothing but an old church in it."
Sam wasn't so sure about his partner's memory, but, lo and behold, a quarter mile came to pass and there was a fork in the road. On the right, the road seemed to lead directly to city lights. Even miles away, the hunters could practically feel the city teeming with life. To the left, however, the road seemed even more narrow than before. Down the path, they could see the wildlife start to die down as the amount of "Beware", "Private Property", and "Keep out" signs got higher.
With a heavy breath, Sam turned onto the left path. They rode in silence as they approached the church.
The church that awaited them was large, two stories at least, and had tall spires coming out of the top. Windows spotted the walls ominously, their shutters made it seem that they were staring down at the hunters, daring them to come inside. The white paint was chipping and, in some spots, missing. Once Sam circled the church, he parked the car in the front.
"Now, I want you to stay back a little bit, okay?" Sam told Lexi once they exited the Impala.
"Yeah, right."
"No, Lexi, I mean it."
Lexi stared at him in disbelief, "What do you mean? I thought I was along for the ride? Especially since the whole demon thing on the way here, I think I'm pretty prepared for this!"
"I know you are, but I need you to stay behind me all the way through this. It won't take long, so we'll be back on the road by sundown."
"Sam! I've got this! You told me everything I need to know to kill this whore nun! Plus I've got good training. What's your problem?"
"I don't have a problem!" Sam said, voice rising to a yell, "I just need you to stay back while I deal with this. I don't want you getting in the way."
The silence that fell was deadly. Sam could feel the color drain from his face as he realized what he just said. Through the darkness of the night, he could see Lexi's face fall. She reached into the Impala's trunk and grabbed a shotgun with salt rounds.
"Look," Sam tried to amend his words, "I didn't mean to-"
"Yes you did." There was a note of finality in her voice that sent shivers down Sam's spine. Sam was about to stop Lexi and apologize when both the hunters head snapped towards a crashing sound coming from the church.
Eye contact was made, a silent understanding that Lexi would follow orders for now, but this was not the end of the conversation.
They entered the church. At first glance, it was a very normal place. A small room stood before them with two sets of large double doors, probably leading into the main hall. In between the two sets of doors stood a large crucifix that was stained from time. The wood was lighter around the center, leading the hunters to believe that it once held a statue of Jesus. All around the shrine, there were flyers and pictures, but they were mostly covered in graffiti. A few cuts in the plywood and plaster seemed to be remnants of a fight gone bad. All of these combined gave the room a creepy feel, but the most terrifying things in the room were leaning against the far wall. Three bikes were leaning against the wall and one had fallen. Lexi's flashlight illuminated them, then, with terror lining her words, she spoke, "There's kids in here."

Lexi didn't know what to do. After having been told by Sam to stay out of the way, Lexi had no interest in giving the satisfaction of being left behind. However, she didn't have any interest in dying either. Stay out of his way and let him do his thing? or, Deliberately disobey him because he needed to be taken down a peg? Tough choice.
Then things changed. Then Lexi shone her flashlight on three teenager-sized bikes and realized that it wasn't just her life in the balance.
Stay out of his way, then. She thought, let him do his thing.
They opened one of the doors and looked at the giant hall before them. They quickly walked passed the pews with their guns raised at the ready. Once they reached the podium, Sam looked to Lexi.
"So, where are they?"
"What?"
"The bones! Where are the bones!"
"Oh," Lexi put a hand on her hip, "so, now you need my help! I thought I was supposed to stay out of the way!"
Sam sighed, "Look, you've been here before, okay? Do you know where they are or not?"
Lexi huffed and rolled her eyes, "Follow me."
Lexi lead Sam to a door that was off to the side of the podium, down a staircase and into the basement. They went through a few more doors before reaching a small, office-like room that had a few dusty boxes piled in one corner. Other than the fact that the room was carpeted with old paperwork, not much there seemed out of the ordinary. But then, Lexi shone her flashlight onto the far wall. There, a door, barely four feet tall, stood slightly ajar.
"Great," Sam said, "I'll go in first, follow my lead." He was about to step forward until Lexi's hand shot out in front of him. He gave her a confused look, but she replied by moving her beam of light to the files that were littering the ground. There seemed to be a trail of papers that were obviously recently moved. Upon closer inspection, there were dark red marks around the small door.
"The kids are down there," she said, "Those are marks from bloody hands trying to avoid being pulled down there!"
Sam shut off his flashlight and gestured for Lexi to do the same. Once they were in darkness, they could see that there was a faint light bleeding from the small doorway. Lexi took a few paces towards the door, just enough so that she could see through the opening.
The door wasn't open very far, probably seven inches, Lexi guessed. Through it, she could see the situation. The portal lead directly to a downward slope that suddenly dropped into the basement. There, the concrete was cracked and some was missing, a hole, about six feet long, was free of cement. Instead, dirt was visible as well as a few gray bumps. At first, Lexi thought they were rocks, but looking closer, she saw they were bones. In the far corner of the room, three teenagers sat huddled together. A girl with brown, messy hair, and two boys, one blonde and one a darker brunette than the girl. The girl had her hands around her wrist in a hopeless attempt to stop it from bleeding.
Lexi was about to yell down to see if they were okay, but then she noticed that they were all staring at a figure in the other corner. How Lexi missed this figure in the first place, she didn't know. From its clothing and stance, Lexi could tell this was one of the sinner nun's.
Sam leaned forward so that he could listen to what the ghost was saying.
"...glad you finally made it. I've been looking for virgin blood for a very long time. Ever since those damn blood-suckers came and went... I'll start with the blonde boy. After he bleeds out, I'll probably only need one of you to finish covering my bones."
"Covering her bones? What does she mean?" Lexi looked at Sam, who was setting down his gun and shoving a small iron rod into his jacket. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"I have to save those kids," he responded, setting his feet by the doorway, "stay out here. If I need you, I'll call."
"Wait! Don't you-" But Lexi was cut off by Sam sliding down the shoot and directly into the ghost.
