Another Way Out

Chapter 21

"(Y/N)!" Hoodie called out, trying to catch up. "For the love of Zalgo , girl, slow down!" Liz called. I finally skidded to a stop and put down my sister. "What the fuck?! Why did you run of like that?!" Hoodie asked. I showed him my sisters cheek. "That mark, what is it?" I pointed, the little crusifix with elaborate designs. "It's a cross," Liz said, confused. "A cross, the symbol of God. Odd for a creepypasta, right? What if Dorcell is after her because of this mark?" I say, picking up a stick and taking a swing at a tree. Hoodie gave me an odd look. "You're crazy," Liz spoke up. "She's only nine, but she's seen stuff lots of people haven't seen. It's an impurity, don't you think? He was talking about make her pure. It all connects!" I snap the branch in half. My sister was as confused as all of them. "How do you get rid of all the imperfections? Baptism or a ritual, right?" I ask, picking up my sister again. Hoodie and Liz look at each other and shrug. "What's your plan?" Hoodie asked. I grin.
