The boy was dead. His empty carpus lay, floating in the body of water. Both Henry and Nathan rushed into the river capturing the muscular white man who Logan called Leroy and putting him in cuffs. The people that gathered to hear Logan's word, fled. All but two managed to get away, running through the river. I grabbed one lady and cuffed her. She wore a pure white dress with little bird designs all over it.
"Hold Still miss! You're under arrest!" She struggled to get away, but I had full control over her. She eventually gave up,
"What's your deal? You let some strange man take you from the Church you've come to know and love in less than a day?" I asked the woman as I walked her to the top of the hill where Nathan and Henry were taking Leroy. She remained quiet; I hated being ignored but I could not do anything about it at that moment. "Watch your head." Henry said as he put Leroy in the back of his police car along with the woman.
"What the hell has happened here?!" Demanded Henry. He looked aggravated, and who could blame him? Every one of us was affected, Nathan was scared, I was confused, and Henry was pissed off. Henry stared at me for a while, looking angrier by the minute. He expected me to answer, since I was the most mature between me and Nathan. Henry was the one who recruited the both of us, he knew us more than we knew ourselves and treated us like we were his own.
"The both of you better have a damn good reason on how this happened at the station! Get it your Goddamn car and go there NOW!!" Demanded Henry as he quickly got in his car and drove away with Leroy and the woman. I looked over at Nate, who stood there with a terrified expression on his face.
"Where the hell did you go when I was getting attacked?" I demanded a response. I was the most upset, but it was not because of the boy's death or the way Henry talked to us, it was the way this happened. It did not make sense to me how any of this happened and it infuriated me.
"I got help! That man managed to convert a whole group of people in one day!" Nathan shouted looking at me angrily. I could tell he was afraid. We never had any kind of crime at the lake and the first time we do it ends in the death of a child. I could understand why he was stressed; I just did not care.
"Converted? You mean convinced? These people were easily convinced. Get in the damn car."
