St. Hashiro

The Rumor

  "Asami!" yelled Terrie as she bursted through the front door of Asami's home. Asami came down stairs.

  "Oh hey, Terrie, how was your date?" said Asami smugly. She was wearing comfy pajama pants that were pink and a white T-shirt. Terrie rolled her eyes at Asami's comment and shuts the door. 

  "Asami, it wasn't a date and why are you wearing pajamas?" asked Terrie. 

  "It's comfy, plus it's about 7:30 p.m." said Asami. Terrie gasped. 

  "I've been gone for that long!? Me and Yuto went to the St. Hashiro School! I was gonna head home, but I'm too excited to wait till tomorrow and tell you then!" exclaimed  Terrie. She suddenly frowned. "Where's Carrie?" 

  "She left an hour ago to talk with a new friend she made a couple days ago. Also, you went to St. Hashiro? The old creepy building?" asked Asami. Terrie nodded. Asami beckoned her to sit down in the living room on the soft, cushiony tan sofa. Terrie told Asami about everything that happened. 

  "How weird, you met a nun named Sister Oana, in an old place like that? You sure she isn't some demon or ghost?" asked Asami. Terrie laughed. She looked at Asami and stopped laughing when she realized Asami was being serious. 

  "What's wrong, Asami? Oana just likes to pray there because it's peaceful," said Terrie. Asami shook her head.

  "I hope your right, and that is all she does up there," said Asami coldly. Terrie looked confused.

  "What do you mean?" asked Terrie. Asami breathed in and then out.

  "There's a rumor that a leader of a cult that consists of their two friends killed someone in the woods for a sacrifice so they could curse the town by releasing malevolent spirits everywhere," said Asami. Terrie gasped. 

  "That's awful! You don't think?" said Terrie.

  "Yes, I believe they might be getting old supplies from St. Hashiro to perform these sacrifices and curses. It is likely Sister Oana is just tricking you and looking for a next victim, no, a next sacrifice that will open the way for spirits to get out," said Asami darkly. Terrie shook nervously. Suddenly, the door opened and a boom of thunder was heard. Terrie screamed. Carrie walked in and shuts the door quickly.

  "Fuck, I didn't mean to scare you!" exclaimed Carrie. 

  "I-it's ok, sis," said Terrie while still shaking. Carrie took off her shoes and plopped down on the sofa. 

  "What are we all talking about?" said Carrie smiling. Asami then explained everything she just told Terrie. Carrie looked terrified. 

  "Shit, if we aren't careful, we could be caught by that freaky ass cult!" exclaimed Carrie. Carrie remembered the night she saw Miyuki. Her face went dark and stone cold.

  "What's wrong? Did I scare you?" asked Asami. "It is just a rumor about the cult and stuf-" 

  "No. It's real. I saw it with my own eyes," said Carrie. 

  "The cult?! You watched someone get sacrificed?!" asked Terrie. Carrie shook her head.

  "No. Out the window of the coffee shop you can see the woods that are near the old building Terrie and Yuto visited. Coming out the woods, I thought I saw three people exiting it while wearing something, like a cloak over them," said Carrie.

  "Maybe one of them was Sister Oana? She does wear what a typical nun wears, and maybe she didn't take it off?" asked Terrie. The thunder boomed loudly and it was a down pour of rain. Terrie and Carrie looked at each other and then looked at Asami.

  "Wanna have a sleep over? We don't have a car yet so we walk place to place," said Carrie. Asami nodded.

  "That would be fun!" She exclaimed.
