Blood and Bones

During the midnight hour, under the sanguine blood moon, inside the old barnyard chapel, in a small town of St. Lucian was a huge gathering of satanic worshippers, celebrating a bloody ritual sacrifice or what the townspeople of St. Lucian called a communion gathering.

The ritual that was led by its mayor and Satanic Cultist Leader, Leonardo De Grasse, whom had brought forth a young woman with striking blonde hair that was their sacrificial lamb. She was brought in under a hypnotic trance, wearing an all-white gown, and was laid on top of a black cast iron alter with dead animal bones and it smelled of foul dried blood from the roadkill collected.

As the whole townspeople of St. Lucian wore black hooded cloaks, chanting under Luciferian prayers, Cletus, Leonardo’s slithery servant, kneeled and brought his master the golden dagger of Lucifer, a dagger of a goat head skull made from gold. Leonardo held out the dagger while the townspeople cheered in chant.

Leonardo closed his eyes as he held the dagger high over the young girl’s chest and said in a strong loud chant, “May this sacrifice under the blood moon nourish us in all of his glory,”

“Hail Lucifer!” The townspeople replied loudly.

“And may our lord, Satan, replenish us with all his power!” Leonardo opens his eyes and fatally striking and stabbing the girl multiple times as she screams in the ultimate terror and coughing out her own blood as she suffers and dying in agony. All the cult followers cheered as the girl breathed her last breath before she dies in a pool of her own blood. Cletus then brings out the golden chalice, pours the blood from the young girl’s chest, then gives it to Leonardo.

Leonardo then drinks the blood from the chalice while slicing the woman’s chest open and ripping and reaching out for her heart. He slowly closes his eyes while taking a huge bite of the heart and says in a sinister voice, laughing with glee, “Our Lord Satan is pleased once again. Let us now feast upon this flesh with delight under his name.”

Two weeks later, over 50 miles east of St. Lucian, four young teenage friends, Kelsey, Jim, Jamie, and Donny were on the road to Camp Muskogee for the summer. Jim, who was the high school quarterback at Mount Tucson High was driving his dad’s old Chevrolet Van, listening to some old Johnny Winter on the tape deck player. Kelsey, the valedictorian and Brainiac at Mt. Tucson, and Jim’s girlfriend, was sitting on the passenger side, reading a book about the using the scientific method on Nuclear physics. Jamie, whom was one of the popular kids at Mt. Tucson and her boyfriend, Donny, the only two troublemakers and pot smokers at Mt. Tucson, sat in the back, giggling amongst each other and enjoying a making out session.

“Hey dude,” said Donny while lighting up a joint. “Are we there yet?”

“Yeah, Jimmy. We’re hungry already! Let’s stop at a nearby gas station!” Jamie laughed as she coughed out a smoke.

“Well, if you guys didn’t smoke so much weed back there, you wouldn’t worry about having the munchies so fast, which by the way, you better help me clean out the weed smell or my dad’s going to have my balls in a grinder!” Jim laughed back.

“Maybe it’ll be a good idea to stop at the nearby gas station, babe,” Kelsey said as she stretched and yawned. “Besides, I need to use the restroom soon.” As they were driving, they passed by a sign that said, “Gas Station and food 5 miles ahead.”

“Ok, here we go. 5 more miles to go and we can all stretch our legs.” Jim said with a sigh of relief. Kelsey went up to Jim and peck him on the cheek as he smiled.

Driving up on a dirt road hill, they stopped at an old gas station and general food store. Everyone in the van came out and stretched out. While both the boys stayed out where the van was to gas up a quarter tank, the girls both went inside the store to get some snacks and for the bathroom.

“Sir, where’s your bathroom?” Kelsey asked while approaching the front counter.

“Outside around the corner on the right. Here’s the key to the washroom, little lady.” The old clerk replied as he jiggled the keys in his hand.

Kelsey snatched the keys and proceeded to walk around outside to the bathroom door around the corner of the entrance and as she unlocked the bathroom door, she saw this unusual graffiti painted in red paint onto a missing person poster taped on the wall. Almost looking like the star of David, except it was a pentagram, which made her feel immediately uncomfortable where she dropped the bathroom keys. As she bent over to pick them up, she looked up immediately and saw a dirty, slim built, middle-aged man, glaring at her strangely with a crooked smile and missing teeth. She then took the keys and as fast as she could, opened the bathroom door, slammed it in front of the stranger, and locked it from the inside on the doorknob.

Inside the store, Jamie was grabbing as much snacks like twinkies and donuts and energy drinks for everybody. She plopped everything she grabbed on the store front counter. Suddenly, an old man appeared.

“Y’all not from around here, ain’t ya?” Said the old store clerk abruptly.

“Umm, no we’re just passing through, sir,” Jamie giggled. “We’re just heading to Camp Muskogee for the summer.”

“A stranger that’s not from these parts should be very careful,” The clerk muttered as Jamie started to feel anxious. “You folks best be careful. A lot of folks go missing in these necks of the woods.”

“Okay… Whatever, sir.” Jamie said as she slowly walked away, giggling to herself out of the store.

“O.M.G, that clerk was like so creepy!” Jamie said as she burst out laughing and exiting the store. “Eww. Like I need some old man to give me the heebee geebees.”

“Well maybe he likes you. He must’ve saw the tattoo on your butt?!” Donny laughed as he gave Jamie a smack in her butt.

“Eww babe. Don’t be so gross, asshole!” Jamie shrieked out laughing as both her and Donny climbed back inside the van and started making out.

“Jimmy! Come on, dude! No time like the next! Let’s get a move on!” Donny yelled out as he continued to make out with Jamie inside the van.

“Hey! We’re not leaving until Kelsey gets back,” Jim replied. “What’s taking her so long?”

Meanwhile in the cold dark bathroom stall, Kelsey was sitting on the toilet bowl and looked up at the old moldy walls and posters. There were so many missing persons posters hung up on the wall. Kelsey looked up at one poster that was up recently, and it was a picture of a young girl with striking blonde hair that was missing since a couple of weeks ago. Kelsey’s eyes gazes as she felt this chilly, terror feeling while looking up at the picture of the young girl and all the other scattered posters on the wall. Then when everything was sounding dead quiet except the of the dripping faucet sink, she heard a loud bang on the door. Kelsey shrieked.

“Be right out!” she muttered.

“Hey Kels, come on, let’s get going!” It was Jim knocking on the bathroom door. “Donny’s being his usual, impatient asshole self.”

“Ok. I’m coming!” she replied as she pulled up her pants and flushed the toilet. Kelsey had this frightening look as she opened the door and went into Jim’s arms.

“You okay, Kelsey?” Jim asked as he held his arm over her shoulder.

“Let’s get out of here, Jim.” She said to Jim in a quiet voice as they slowly walked back to the van together. Jim started up the van and drove off back on to the road. As they were leaving, that dirty thin man with the missing teeth and tattered clothes, stands there chuckling quietly and waves at the van with his crooked grin as they drove off.

Everyone in the van, except for Jamie and Donny, went quiet on the rest of their trip. Jamie and Donny took out a few marijuana joints and started toking up laughing.

“O.M.G, that storekeeper seemed so fucking creepy. Like seriously. Am I the only one who got the creepy vibe from that store? What about you, Kels? Were you creeped out, too?” Jamie said.

“Yeah. When I was in the bathroom, I saw all these missing persons posters all over. I started to get this creepy vibe, too,”

“Did you guys see a thin man? He kind of looked homeless. It was very creepy.”

“Wow, Kels. While you were in there, did you shit yourself scared?” Donny laughed out loud.

“Hey Donny. You want to be nice or do you want to start walking to camp?” Jim shouted abruptly.

“Hey man. I was only kidding. For fuck’s sakes!” Donny said. “Besides, we got snacks and we stretched our legs. Since we’re not far from the camp, I’m taking a nap.”

“Are you going to be okay, Kelsey? I mean, we are in the countryside and it’s different from where we live.” Jim said while holding Kelsey’s hand.

“Yeah. I think so. But yeah… it’s nothing. Just a stupid creepy old store with creepy old people and a creepy old bathroom.” Kelsey said as she shrugged her shoulders. Kelsey opened her book and kept to herself during the ride.

A few hours later while Jamie and Donny slept on the floor in the back of the van and Kelsey slept in the front seat, Jim cranked up the volume of the van radio and it was playing some Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama. Jim cracked open another energy drink to focus on the road and it was getting dark outside.

The wooded surroundings while on the country road became pitch black, the moon was full of a deep mahogany red and the view started to fog up where it was impossible to see the surroundings. Jim then turned on his headlights when suddenly in the middle of the road, he saw a weirdly shaped tall black figure standing still. Jim slammed on his brakes and everyone jumped when the van swerved into a doughnut and landed on the side of the road.

“Jim, man! What the fuck?” Donny shouted.

“Is everyone alright?” Jim shouted.

“Yeah, except how the fuck did you get your license, dude?” Donny scoffed.

“Hey, this ain’t my fault, I swear! I saw something on the road, and I had to slam on my brakes,” Jim panicked. “Now my dad’s gonna kill me!”

“Now what are we going to do?” Jamie started crying. “We’re in the middle of nowhere and I have no reception on my phone! WE’RE FUCKING STRANDED!” Donny went up and slapped Jamie in the face.

“Get ahold of yourself, you stupid bitch!” Donny yelled.

“Make me, you asshole! As if your sarcasm is helping matters, dickhead!” Jamie fired back.

“OH, FOR FUCKING SAKES, WOULD YOU BOTH SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” Kelsey shouted and slapped both Jamie and Donny. “We got bigger problems already. Don’t need to hear you two freaking the fuck out.” She added as she pointed the damaged wheel and fender of the van.

“Uh, fuck me,” Jim said while falling to his knees. “I’m gonna try to call my dad, see if there’s a nearby place that has a phone. My phone isn’t getting a reception, either.”

“Ugh, you mean we have to walk?” Jamie whined out.

“Unless you have any other bright ideas? I’d love to hear them.” Jim snapped.

The four teenagers started to gather everything that they could grab from out of the damaged van. Tired, cold, stressed out, and exhausted, they walked down the dark country road together, carrying nothing but sleeping bags, a plastic bag of food that they purchased at the store from earlier, their phones, and a trash bag of clothes.

They walked down the long dark road for miles, cold and hungry. Jamie was getting weak to walk, Donny was lighting up a joint while walking, pushing Jamie away off his shoulder. Kelsey and Jim walked by each other’s side hand and hand. The moon was full, and the owls and coyotes were hooting and howling. As when everyone thought that everything seemed lost, a tired Kelsey looked up and saw a sign of a town that they were entering.

“Hey look everyone! There’s a sign up ahead! Maybe there’s a phone that we can use?” She said excitedly. She looked closer at the sign and read it out loud. “You are now entering the Town of St. Lucian. Population: 234.”

“Well, halle-fucking-lujah! About time we found some mangy country shithole!” Donny boasted as he dropped his joint on to the ground. “Does this place have a burger joint so we can chow? I’m getting the munchies again, bro.” He added as he looked over at Jim.

“I don’t care about food! I just want a bed to sleep in,” Jamie added. “O.M.G, my feet are killing me.”

“Well, maybe there’s a place that has a nearby phone?” Jim said. “I mean, first thing’s first. I need to get my dad’s van situated.”

The young group went inside the first building they came across, which was the St. Lucian Diner Restaurant. The light was on and a couple of locals were inside. It was an old restaurant that looked like an old 1950’s diner, collected dust and spider webs. The floors and walls looked rotted and the jukebox sound was muffled and on its last legs. As the four entered and had sat down, confused and tired, the head waitress, Mrs. Edna Wooten approached.

“Well, raise my rent! New folks!” Said the waitress with a grin. “Howdy y’all! What are y’all having tonight?”

“We need to use your phone, ma’am. You see, we’re on the road to go to Camp Muskogee and our van has broken down on the road a couple of miles outside here. I need to call my dad back home, so he doesn’t get worried.” Jim stated.

“Well, I really can’t help you with that, sugar,” she replied. “We haven’t had a phone for years here in St. Lucian. The group sighed in exhaustion. “But maybe you can try the gas station garage down the street. Cletus, our mechanic, can help you tow your van here and fix it?”

“Oh, thank goodness.” Kelsey sighed.

“Ma’am, umm, anything good you recommend eating here. I don’t care what to have. I’m starving.” Donny scoffed with a chuckle.

“Well, the meatloaf here is an acquired taste, if y’all wanna give it some justice, sugar?” Edna said with a wink.

“Sure, count me in,” Donny laughed. “I’m so hungry, I can eat a cow!”

“Anything for you, darling? Edna turned to Jamie.

“No thank you,” Jamie said softly. “I just want to sleep in a warm bed.”

“Well, we have a little bed and breakfast upstairs here. Me and my husband, Ed live here in the diner. He works at the front desk, if y’all need a place to sleep?” Edna said with a grin.

“I would love that!” Jamie said excitedly as she raced up the stairs to the motel part of the diner.

“And what about you, sugar? What you gonna have?” Edna turned to Kelsey.

“Nothing for me, thank you.” Kelsey said in a soft sad voice.

“Well, why so glum, sugar plum?” Edna asked. “You don’t want anything? Not even coffee?” Kelsey just sat silently, shaking her head sadly.

“Here, I tell you what I’m gonna do. I’ll bring out a round of coffee for you kids. And if y’all feel tired, there’s plenty of room and beds upstairs.” Edna said. “Is that okay for you, sugar?”

Kelsey looked at Jim silently as he looked at Kelsey, then just nodded at Edna. “Okay,” Kelsey said. “I think I’ll be turning in for the night,”

“Let me show y’all folks to the upstairs.” Edna said with a smile.

Jim and Kelsey took their cups of coffees and their sleeping bags upstairs inside the diner for the night since everyone seemed very exhausted within the group, while Donny stood outside, smoking his last marijuana joint, waiting for his meal that he had ordered. As they walked upstairs, they saw Jamie bouncing up and down her bed with excitement while Ed, Edna’s husband, sets down new bedsheets and towels for the new guests.

“We often don’t get outside visitors in our neck of the woods here,” Ed said with a jovial grin. “You kids heading somewhere now?”

“Well sir, we were heading out to Camp Muskogee for summer camp, but we had a little accident on route where my van’s fender was wiped out,” Jim replied. “But your wife told us that you had a mechanic in town that could help us?”

“Oh, you mean Cletus. Yeah, that’s our local little grease monkey of St. Lucian,” Ed said with a grin. “Tomorrow morning, I can show you to the garage where Cletus works at and he’ll help you youngsters out.”

“Well sir, is it possible that we see Cletus now?”

“In the middle of the night? You want to get a hold of Cletus? …” Ed paused.

“I don’t mean to be rude, sir, but we just got into a collision and we’re all absolutely exhausted here. I would like to see about get my van fixed or find a phone to call up my dad, if necessary.” Jim said.

“Okay. I’ll go over to Cletus’ right now and see if he can tow your vehicle on over here on the double,” Ed said. “But you kids need some shut eye for the time being.”

“Well if it’s not any trouble, sir, I would like to come with you so I can show Cletus where our van is at or what it looks like.” Jim stated. Ed nodded back at Jim.

“No, no trouble at all. Come with me, then. I wouldn’t mind the company.” Ed said. Both Jim and Ed proceeded to head towards Cletus’ Garage.

Downstairs at the Diner area, Jim and Ed were walking past the booth where Donny was sitting at the booth, waiting for his meatloaf meal.

“Yo Donny. Stay put. The girls are upstairs asleep now. Ed and I are heading to the garage so this ‘Cletus’ can help us with our van. You gonna be okay while I’m gone, dude?” Jim asked Donny.

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll be okay once I get some food in me,” Donny said while impatiently waiting for his meal.

“Cool, bro. I’ll be back in a little bit. Look after the girls while I’m gone, okay?” Jim said to Donny as he was walking out of the diner.

“Sure, whatever, dude. You do you,” Donny laughed. Edna came out from the kitchen area with a steaming hot plate of meatloaf and gravy.

“Here you go, sugar,” she said. “It’s on the house! Dig on in, honey!”

“Thank you!” Donny said with a huge sigh of relief. “This meatloaf looks killer and smells killer, too.” He added as he picked up his first bite.

“How you like the meatloaf, baby?” Edna smiled.

“Oh, it’s good…” Donny picked up another bite of the meatloaf and by the 3rd bite, he started to choke on something small. He got up from his seat franticly, coughing out this small piece of metal he almost swallowed. He took the piece from out of his mouth, spat out what was choking him in his meatloaf, and found a fragment of a missing earring.

“UGH! The fuck’s this shit? There’s an earring in my food! Miss… Did you lose an earring of some sorts or you just fucking clumsy as shit?” Donny got himself together and stood up straight immediately in a loud voice as he was spitting out what was left of the bite he ate.

“Why no, dear. I don’t wear any earrings?” She said nervously.

“Then who the fuck does this belong to then if it ain’t yours?” Donny snapped in disgust. “Is there another woman working in the back?”

“Well, I’m not sure, sugar. It’s just me that’s workin’ the night shift. What’s the matter?” She said as Donny forced her back against the wall, angrily in disgust.

“What’s the matter? I bit into some dumb cunt’s lost fucking earring in my food and almost choked to death from swallowing it just now and you’re asking me, WHAT’S THE FUCKING MATTER??? WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING DEAL, LADY????”

“BRUNO!” She yelled out.

“Ooh, Bruno? Is that the fucking cook here? Yeah, bring Bruno out! Bring his fucking ass out so I can give him a piece of my mind! Where is this Bruno, that stupid piece of shit?” Donny yelled out sarcastically. “Where are you, Bruno? Where are you, you gross fuck?”

“Right here,” Bruno growled and hovered behind Donny. Donny quickly turned around and Bruno instantly smashed his head full force with a large sharp hatchet.

Donny’s body fell hard on to the floor and started to quiver and shake viciously in a seizure like state. The hatchet was buried into Donny’s neck, almost beheading him and blood had gushed out everywhere on to the floor where he was coughing and choking on his own blood. When Donny’s body stopped shaking and died from the massive blow to the head, Bruno then quickly dragged Donny’s body back into the kitchen area.

Upstairs in the bedroom area where the girls had slept, Kelsey couldn’t get to sleep. Worrying about their current situation and stressed out from the van collision and feeling very unsettling with the townspeople, Kelsey tried to wake Jamie up at the next bed over.

“Hey Jamie. Are you awake?” Kelsey whispered softly.

“I was about to have a nice dream. What’s up, girl?” Jamie said groggily.

“I can’t sleep at all,” Kelsey said with a worried look on her face. “This place, this town, the people here… It seems so off. Like, way off. I can’t explain it.”

“It’ll be fine, Kels. If anything, Jim will hopefully get the van fixed by tomorrow and get it up and ready so we can head to camp and before you know it, we’ll be back on the road soon enough,” Jamie said as she held Kelsey’s hand. “Don’t worry, it’ll be okay.”

“You’re right,” Kelsey sighed, but then it occurred to her. “Hey, where’s Donny at?”

“Ugh, that asshole’s probably having seconds on dessert. Who fucking cares about that jackass?” Jamie groaned as she rolled her eyes. “Let’s get some shut eye, huh?”

“Okay. Night, Jamie!” Kelsey nodded.

“Goodnight!” Jamie said as she closed her eyes. “Everything will be okay.” Kelsey went back to her bed and started to fall asleep.

Downstairs, in the bowels of the diner basement, where the walls and floor were nothing but dirt of the earth, there was a room where Bruno prepped the food and delicacies that the town of St. Lucian had to offer. Over at the corner near the stairs, there were dirty and moldy cages that were so big, humans can fit in and they were stacked upon stacked amongst each other. In the middle of the room was an old raggedy surgical table, where it was covered from dried blood and smelled of foul rotted flesh from human and animal parts. The floor underneath the table was covered in a puddle full of blood and all stains led to a floor drain that was rusty from the dirt, grit, and blood splattered stains and Donny’s clothes and shoes was covered in blood, dumped on the floor. Next to the table on the left was a huge freezer and an old meat grinder next to each other. And there inside the room, in the bowels of the basement, underneath the cellar was Bruno Victario, the Butcher of St. Lucian, laughing, singing along to old Italian Opera Arias to the old radio while chopping, dicing, and cutting up Donny’s dead corpse with a cleaver onto an old gurney. After each part of Donny’s body was cut and diced, Bruno would bag it up in a clear ziplock bag that was marked with the date and throw everything into the freezer except the torso and penis.

Bruno chopped up the torso and threw them into the old grinder and starting slicing Donny’s phallus as if it was carrot slices. He was making his famous Meat Ragu recipe for his master and the mayor of St. Lucian, Leonardo DeGrasse. He cooked during the long hours, downstairs, making his Ragu for the mayor of the town and his guests. Once Bruno finished cooking his Ragu, he poured it in a silver container, snuck out in the back of the diner, and carried the container, heading over to the Mayor De Grasse’s manor at the other side of town.

Down the street, both Ed and Jim were approaching Cletus’ Garage. Jim, wearing his high school letter jacket, was feeling exhausted from walking, but was determined on getting his van fixed. The streetlights started to pop on and as they walked, Ed just talked.

“So, you play High School Football, eh? A quarterback? Me, back in my day, I never played or heck, even tried out. But hey! I envy you kids with all might and energy!” Ed continued excitedly.

“Umm, yeah sir. Say! You think Cletus can help us out with my van?” Jim said while feeling highly annoyed.

“Huh? Oh! I don’t know. Between you and me, son, Cletus seems too dimwitted to finish on fixing anything. But say! We can only hope, right?” Ed laughed as he smacked Jim on his back! Jim was getting even more annoyed.

“Right,” Jim sighed with annoyance.

“Oh, here I go again. Talking on and on and on again. You know my wife likes to nag on me about my nonstop chatting? I swear I tend to talk people’s ears off!” Ed continued again as they walked up to the garage. “Well here we are!” Ed knocks on the door.

“Cletus? Cletus!” Ed yelled while banging on the door like a drum. “Ugh, where is that dumb knucklehead at? Cletus! Come down here and answer the door, you retarded grease monkey!” The light at the front porch popped on. A shadow of a thin, scraggily figure was approaching to the front door entrance and opened the door.

“Now what in tarn nations do you want, Ed?” Cletus said. “You asshole?”

“This young fellow and his friends are having some issues with their van.” Ed said while pointing to Jim.

“Cletus, sir. My name is Jim. We were heading to camp down the road and we had an accident happen. I was wondering if you had a phone that we could use or if you had a tow truck?” Jim said nervously.

“Okay, hold your horses now and give me one moment to wake up, here. I ain’t got no phone to use here, boy, but I got a truck that’ll bring your van over here in my garage. Wait your asses here,” Cletus said as he slammed the door. “And you start any shit with me, Ed, I’m gone hog tie ya, ol’ man!” he added.

“So... was that?” Jim paused.

“Yeah, that’s our mechanic here in town. That’s our only mechanic. Never mind his grumpiness. He’ll help you kids out.”

The garage light came on and the garage door was opening. Cletus fired up his old rusty tow truck and back it out of the driveway.

“Well, come on, boy! Get on in here. Show me where your rigamaroo is at. No time like the next,” Cletus yelled out as he waved him and Ed to get in the truck. Cletus spun his tires and heading out to the broken-down van just outside of town.

Meanwhile, back at the manor of Mayor De Grasse, there was a quite a get together as if there was a big family gathering at the place. The Manor inside was a huge, Victorian style castle inside, with a huge fireplace lit up. Everyone that was there was celebrating by eating hors d’oeuvres and drinking the finest bottle of 1670’s Brut Champagne.

And coming out from the upstairs boudoir was Leonardo wearing a black velour coat with his wife and daughter, Tanya and Gabrielle, wearing black laced gowns from the 18th century. Tanya, who was a big woman with blond hair had a black laced fan and wore lace gloves. Their daughter, Gabrielle, who was voluptuous shaped with long jet-black hair, wore a black corset and long red lace skirt and looked very eloquent. The people stopped and cheered at their host’s entrance.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, my family and I welcome you all here tonight. The last day of the sanguine moon is approaching us tomorrow night,” he paused as the people cheered and applause. “So tonight, we shall wine and dine at this beautiful get together. For tomorrow at the stroke of midnight, we shall celebrate under the last blood moon. And we shall feast under our lord Satan’s prayer.” The people roared with a loud ovation.

“My lord,” Bruno said as he entered the manor and walked past the crowd of people.

“Ahh! Bruno. Our finest chef! Come! Enter! What delicacies have you brought us for tonight?” Leonardo said with glee.

“My lord, I had brought my finest old recipe. My famous meat Ragu.” Bruno set the container on the table and lifted the cover up. The people sighed and savored the delighted smell from the human meat of the Ragu.

“Fine work! My dearest chef! You have never disappointed me. Bravo!” Leonardo said as approached the table and swiped his finger into the Ragu and touched the taste with his tongue. “This is fresh and delicioso. Did you just now make this?”

“Yes, my lord. We have new visitors in our town. A group of young fresh meat.” Bruno bowed to Leonardo.

“I see…” said Leonardo as he slowly closed his eyes and grew a huge sadistic evil grin. “Thank you, Bruno. Our finest compliments to the chef.”

“Thank you, my lord!” Bruno bowed as he exited himself out and heading back to the diner.

“Indeed.” Leonardo breathed.

Back outside of town, Ed, Jim, and Cletus was hooking up the broken-down van onto the truck. Jim pointed out to the Cletus where the van was hit the most.

“Well now, scooter. It done look like you kids got yourself into a fender bender,” Cletus bent over while peeking underneath the damaged van. “And from what I can see, you must’ve hit something, like some animal or rock of some kind.”

“Are you sure? When it happened, I did see something. But wasn’t quite sure what it was, I swerved around it, but I swear it never impacted.” Jim said as he grew a puzzled look on his face. He ducked under and took a closer look to where Cletus was pointing at and there underneath the transaxle on the driver side was a long black feather, as if it came from a black vulture-like creature that seemed oddly big for its average size. “What the?”

“You see where I’m pointing there, boy?” Cletus said to Jim.

“I see it, but I seriously don’t believe it!” Jim was speechless from the shock of what he saw. “I honestly swear that what I saw was not a bird.” He added as he shook his head in disbelief.

“Well, let me get your van secure here on my truck and we’ll bring it back to my garage. But seeing the damage that it took, the soon as I can get that baby back alive is about a couple of days.” Cletus said.

“Ugh, you have got to be fucking kidding me. Oh my god! Ugh” Jim sighed in disgust.

“Hey! You watch your mouth on that God shit talk, boy! You hear me?” Cletus backhanded Jim in his chest. Jim got up in Cletus’ face and Ed got between them before the tiff got uglier.

“Oh, Cletus. Shut your piehole,” Ed grabbed Cletus and forced him into a huddle away from an irritated Jim. “Let’s just bring this young man’s van and get it fixed. Understand?” Cletus looked at Ed and immediately calmed down and just nodded.

“Let’s go. Get in the truck.” Cletus stormed into his truck in a huff while glaring at Jim with a cold dead stare in his eyes. Angry and frustrated at Cletus’ demeaner, Jim with an angry look in his face quietly got back into the truck. Cletus spun his tires and drove back the truck to the garage with the van hooked up.

Cletus dropped both Ed and Jim off at the diner before heading back to his garage. Tired, stressed, and wanting to get out of dodge, Jim walked his way to the stairs where everyone was sleeping. As he approached the area where the stairs were, he looked around saw no sight of Donny.

“Miss?” Jim said to Edna.

“Oh, hey sugar. Welcome back! Did you manage to get your van with Cletus?”

“We did. But I guess we’re staying for another day or so. Hey, have you seen my friend, Donny? Slimly built, brown hair, kind of squirrely looking, has a really big appetite?”

“Oh yes. That boy does have a mighty big appetite, I must say! I can’t believe how much that boy eats! But I think he went out for a walk; I think. Not sure where though.” Edna shrugged her shoulders.

“Huh? He didn’t say when he’ll be coming back?”

“No.” Edna said. “But let me ask you a question. Between you and me, sugar. Is he a smoker?”

“Smoker?” Jim scoffed. “That’s saying it too lightly. We nickname him ‘Smokey the Bear’, he smokes so much.” He added as he rolled his eyes. “Okay then. Well, I’m off to bed, I guess. Good night. Thanks for all your help.” Jim then proceeded upstairs where a sleeping Kelsey was.

“Good night, darling. Anytime, Sugar.” Edna said.

Jim went upstairs into the guest room where Kelsey and Jamie were sleeping at, took his jacket and shoes off, and laid in bed quietly next to Kelsey. Jim stared at the ceiling, thinking and concerned about the town and the people here. Also wondering where Donny went and hoping that the van will be miraculously fixed in time to get out of dodge in this strange town. He then breathed in deeply and started to close his eyes and slept.

Late into the night and early morning, while both Jim and Jamie were sound asleep, Kelsey was having a bad dream and started to toss and turn, breaking into a cold sweat. It was dream that seemed so vivid and intense. Kelsey was running in fear and terror where some unknown black clad figure was chasing her into an abandoned slaughterhouse. She dreamt of running so fast and far for her life where she ran into a door. She opened the door and saw all the dead bodies of her friends hanging onto meat hooks. She quickly turned around and saw that dark figure lunged at her. Kelsey screamed as she woke up suddenly in terror.

“Kelsey! Kelsey! Hey, hey. It’s alright!” Jim said as he tried to calm Kelsey down. Kelsey slowly catching her breath and wiping the cold sweat off her face.

“Oh Jim! You’re alright!” Kelsey whimpered. “I had such a horrible dream! Oh my god, it felt so real, too. I can’t explain it, but I’m scared that something’s bad is going to happen to all of us.”

“Shh-, everything’s okay, baby,” Jim said as he hugged and consoled Kelsey. “It’s just a bad dream. We’re going to be fine. Once we get our van fixed up, we’ll be leaving here in no time.”

“I hope so,” Kelsey said as she had the concerned look in her eyes. “I don’t want to stay here too long, Jim.”

“I know, Kels. I know,” Jim said as he held Kelsey tight. “I don’t want to be staying here, either.” Jim continued to hug Kelsey tightly.

“Where’s Jamie?” Kelsey asked as she looked around.

“Not sure?” said Jim. “She must be downstairs or in the bathroom, perhaps. But I think we should get going. Let’s find the others and stick together, just in case.”

Kelsey nodded as both her and Jim heading downstairs into the Diner area. As they were coming downstairs, Jim and Kelsey bumped into Ed on their way in the hallway.

“Oh, hey good morning, you, too!” Ed said cheerfully. “Did you kids sleep well?” Both had nodded but remained quiet. “Well good! Cletus has your van in his garage and is working on it as we speak.”

“Thank you,” said Jim as he laid his arm over Kelsey’s shoulder. “By the way, have you seen our friends?”

“Well, I know your other lady friend went out for a walk earlier, but didn’t see where she went,” Ed said. “Pretty young thing, ain’t she?” Ed added as he elbows Jim’s side.

“I guess?” Jim responded with a shrug. “Have you seen another friend of ours? Squirrely looking guy, smokes a lot?”

“Well, no. I didn’t know you had another visitor?” Ed said with a puzzled look.

“Well, maybe we can ask your wife where he is?” Jim said.

“Well, you can try, but my wife is asleep right now. You know, she works nonstop at the late-night shifts.” Ed said.

“Well, we’ll head out and find our friends.” Jim said as he and Kelsey headed out the door and walk around town to find both Jamie and Donny.

It was 10 am in the morning and just nearby the old barnyard chapel, Jamie was walking around, lighting up her joint and looking for her missing boyfriend. Confused and lost in a strange town, Jamie was yelling out Donny’s name.

“DONNY? DONNY? Where the fuck are you, you idiot?” Jamie yelled. “DONNY? WHERE ARE YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT? UGH!!!” As Jamie was yelling out for Donny, someone from inside that barn was spying in a small peephole. Whoever it was watching over her was making obscene grunts and groans.

“God damn you, stupid asshole! DONNY?” Jamie yelled one more time for Donny. Suddenly, she heard a fainted grunting sound coming from the old barnyard. “Hello?” Jamie followed the grunting noises and as she kept walking towards the barn, the noises kept getting louder and louder.

“Donny, is that you, you horny retard fuck?” Jamie said as she heard the noises coming from the barn area. “Come on, quit dicking around, you asshole!” she added as she went up the barn door and slowly opened it. As she tip toed quietly into the barn, she saw someone on the other side inside the barn, bobbing up and down.

“Hello?” Jamie walked slower and slower towards the moaning stranger on the other side. “Hello, is anybody the-?” Jamie pushed open the fence and was shocked to see a girl with long black hair naked, sitting on the hay in a sexual position. It was Gabrielle and she stopped and turned around with a sadistic smile on her face, looking at Jamie.

“Hey, I thought you would like to join me for a little… head?” Gabrielle said as she lifted the blood covered behead of Donny. Jamie screamed in bloody murder and ran out of the barn as fast as she could while Gabrielle hurled out an evil cackle.

“JIM!!! KELSEY!! OH MY GOD!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!” she screamed so loudly as she was running fast and far away from the barn. “DONNY’S DEAD!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” Jamie ran into the desert area outside the barn and kept looking back if anyone was following her. Scared and fearing for her life, she ran into an old grain elevator shack and climbed up the ladder into the upper level. Jamie started crying, feeling that whoever would enter where she was, it was the end of her life.

She then heard footsteps coming from downstairs. Jamie kept quiet, hid in the corner behind the old wooden boxes upstairs as tightly as she could, and tried very hard to keep calm and not panic. She can feel her heart racing as the footsteps kept coming closer and closer and closer. Rapidly taking breaths and peeking behind the wooden crate boxes, she saw that evil girl with the witchy black hair who was still naked and covered in blood, climbed up the ladder, looking for her. Jamie tried to hold her breath as she saw that witch carrying a sharp ice pick. She kept her breath and motion still for one more second, watching the evil girl looking around, and the minute the girl turned around slowly and started to climb down the ladder, Jamie slowly breathed out with relief that the girl was gone for now.

Nervous and deathly afraid for her life, Jamie took her time slowly to get up from behind the crate boxes and try to make her desperate escape. She slowly starts to climb down the ladder and she vastly tiptoed out of the grain elevator when the coast was clear and headed back into town. Jamie ran to wherever she could, didn’t care. She cried and ran so far where she couldn’t run anymore. Suddenly, Jamie saw the large manor house at the end the dirt road and ran as quickly up to the house, hoping for help.

“Please! Somebody! Anybody! Oh, please help me! Please!” Jamie cried out while banging the front door. A small moment later, a reflection of a large woman with blond hair approaches and opens the door.

“My dear, child!” the woman shrieked in shock. “What’s going on?”

“Please, Ma’am. Help me! Someone killed my Donny! And they’re coming to get me, too!” Jamie cried to the woman while she was trying to catch her breath from running and crying in the aftermath.

“Oh, my dear! Come in, immediately!” the woman said as she brought Jamie inside the house. “Here, sit down. Let me make you some tea, dear.” The woman went up and hurried to the kitchen to fetch a cup of tea cooking on the stove. Jamie sat there, in tears and in shock after realizing her boyfriend was gruesomely butchered by some psychopath in town. The woman came back out and set the cup of tea down on the table.

“Here, my dear. Now you need to calm down and tell me what you’re running from?” The woman said as she sat close to Jamie to keep her calm.

“Oh, ma’am. Please. Some witchy woman is trying to kill me. She’s crazy! SHE KILLED MY DONNY!!” Jamie started to cry again and was besides herself.

“Now, shh, shh, my child,” The woman said as she tried her best to calm Jamie down. “You’re safe here, now. You’re safe.” She added. Jamie just kept crying and put her head down on to her forearms.

“What’s your name, my child?” The woman asked. Starting to calm and collect herself from the tears, she slowly looked at the woman.

“Jamie,” she said after she blew her nose into the Kleenex.

“Nice to meet you, Jamie. I’m Tanya,” The woman replied back with a smile. “Come, my child. You need some rest. You’ve been under a lot of stress.” Tanya showed Jamie to one of the upstairs boudoirs and proceeded to go upstairs.

“You’re a very pretty girl. Pretty and young as my daughter, Gabrielle,” Tanya said to Jamie as they walked slowly upstairs.

“Oh,” Jamie replied as she was sniffling her nose. “You have a daughter?”

“Why yes? While I can guess that you and she are around the same age, you, child, look far much younger.” Tanya said gleefully. Jamie shrugged.

“Maybe,” Jamie said softly.

“You should meet my daughter, Gabrielle! I think you, two, girls will get along all well and have so much in common,” Tanya said as she wrapped her arm around Jamie as they walked up to a bedroom door. Tanya knocked on the door.

“Gabrielle? I have someone for you to meet,” Tanya said as she opened the door. Gabrielle was getting dressed behind the black laced cloisonné.

“Just a minute,” Gabrielle said.

Jamie soon recognized that deep witchy voice and immediately trembled in fear. The girl from behind the cloisonné stepped out and sure enough, Gabrielle was the witch that tried to kill her and was shoving her dead boyfriend’s head between her thighs in the barn. Gabrielle slowly walked towards Jamie while holding the ice pick in her hand.

“NO!!! NO!!!!! NO!!!” Jamie screamed. “IT’S THE WITCH!!!”

“HOW DARE YOU CALL MY DAUGHTER A WITCH!!!!” Tanya then started to attack Jamie while Jamie was fighting to escape her clutches. “I THINK YOU AND MY DAUGHTER WILL GET ALONG JUST FINE!” Tanya quickly shoved Jamie inside Gabrielle’s room and locked the door. “After all, my dear. She does love the taste of fresh young meat.”

In the hallways up at the De Grasse Manor, was filled with Jamie’s cries and screaming in terror while Gabrielle kept stabbing her multiple times in her room with the ice pick against the door and a pool of Jamie’s blood was dripping from the bottom of Gabrielle’s bedroom door.

Later that evening, back in town, and near Cletus’ garage and the old Textile building, Jim and Kelsey was walking around town, looking for both Jamie and Donny. Both kept walking around, yelling out their names to see if they’re nearby. Keeping close together as much as they can, they were getting exhausted from walking around.

“Donny!” Jim yelled out. “Jamie? Where are you guys?”

“Jamie!” Kelsey yelped out. “Where are you?”

“Hey, come on, you guys! Quit screwing around!” Jim yelled.

“Ugh, babe,” Kelsey stopped walking and took a breath. “I can’t go anymore. Where? Where do you think they disappeared to?”

“I don’t know. But we must find them. It’s getting dark,” Jim said as he checked on his tired girlfriend. Kelsey who couldn’t move her legs.

“I can’t, I’ve spent all my energy walking. Where do you think they have gone to, Jim?” Kelsey huffed out.

“I don’t know, Kels. I just don’t know. But we can’t give up now. We need to keep moving. Listen to me, Kelsey. The minute we find them two, we’re getting the hell out of here. I promise you. But you got to keep moving.” Jim said as he helped Kelsey up on her legs.

Jim and Kelsey kept walking up and down every street and avenues in St. Lucian, yelling out for their friends names. As they felt that hope was almost lost and was unable to find them, they saw the manor house with the lights on down the street.

“Look Kelsey! There’s a light on over there in that house! Let’s go and check it out! Maybe Donny and Jamie are there?” Jim said to Kelsey as they both started to run up to the house to investigate. As they walked up the front porch steps, Jim knocked on the door.

“Hello?” Jim yelled out as he continued to knock on the door. A reflection of Tanya was approaching the door.

“Yes?” Tanya said.

“Umm, hello Ma’am. We were just wondering if you saw a couple friends of ours. We’re not from around here, you see, and our van broke down last night. We’re only here until our van is fixed up.” Jim said while holding Kelsey.

“No, don’t think so. I’ve lived in these parts since I was a wee child and would immediately notice any newcomers in this neck of the woods.”

“Well, ma’am, is it okay that me and my girlfriend come in?” Jim asked. “We’ve been on our feet all day looking for our friends and we need the small rest.”

“Yes, of course,” Tanya said as she opened the door and invited them in. “Please, have a seat.” Tanya said as she walked into the kitchen as both Jim and Kelsey sat down on the sofa.

“Care for some tea while you’re here?” Tanya asked.

“Umm, no thank you,” Jim said. Tanya came out from the kitchen and bought out a silver tea set on a silver platter.”

“It’s been 54 years since St. Lucian had any visitors. You two are the first ones here to visit in the longest of 54 years,” Tanya said gleefully.

“That’s nice, but honestly, we’re not staying too long,” Jim said. “We’re just here because your mechanic here, Cletus is fixing our van and the minute it’s fixed up, we’re finding the rest of our friends and leaving town.” He added.

“Well, that’s too bad,” Tanya said as she poured herself a cup of hot tea and sipped. “It’s not that often that St. Lucian gets any out of town visitors.”

“Umm, miss?” Kelsey said.

“Tanya,” she replied to Kelsey her name.

“Tanya…” Kelsey said. “Is there a bathroom that I can use?”

“Of course, dear. Just upstairs, down the hallway, last door on the left,” Tanya said.

“Thank you,” Kelsey said as she excused herself. As she left to go upstairs to the bathroom, Leonardo came out of his private Library room.

“Good evening,” Leonardo said in a deep voice. Jim stood up from the couch.

“Allow me to meet my husband and mayor of this town, Leonardo,” Tanya said. “So glad you decided to join us, my husband.” She added as she held her husband’s hand.

While Jim was downstairs feeling uneasy meeting with the Mayor and his wife, Kelsey was walking slowly on her way to the washroom. When suddenly, she saw a light from the last boudoir, at the end of the hallway flickering. Kelsey slowly walked up to the room with extreme caution. As she slowly turned the doorknob to open, Gabrielle was all sudden behind Kelsey and tapped her on the shoulder. Kelsey shrieked.

“Oh my gosh,” Kelsey said to Gabrielle while catching her breath.

“I’m sorry I startled you,” Gabrielle said.

“I was just looking for the bathroom,” Kelsey added.

“It’s just right here,” Gabrielle said as she pointed to the door on the left.

“Thanks,” Kelsey said as she opened the door to the washroom and went in. Gabrielle just glared at the door and slowly walked to her room.

Inside the washroom, Kelsey went up to the sink and splashed water to her face, thinking to herself that she and Jim will find Donny and Jamie real soon and get out of this weird town. As she was drying her face off from the towel, she looked up at her reflection in the mirror, saw blood on her face, and immediately panicked. Then in the mirror’s reflection, she saw the bathtub curtains closed, stained, and it had smelled a vile rotting smell of decay. Kelsey walked up to the bathtub, opened the shower curtains, and inside the tub was bloody clothes. Not only was it bloody clothes, Kelsey recognized the bloody pink spaghetti tank top that was dumped in the tub. The bloody clothes had belonged to Jamie. Then the washroom door slams open and it was Gabrielle charging at Kelsey with the ice pick and wailing like a banshee.

Kelsey immediately pick up the ceramic lid from the toilet and swung hard at Gabrielle, knocking her down on the floor. She then quickly ran out of the washroom, heading downstairs, and ran to Jim, screaming.

“JIM, JAMIE’S DEAD!” Kelsey cried out as she ran into Jim and held him tightly. Jim quickly got on the defense and grabbed from the fire pokers next to the fireplace as a weapon. Both Leonardo and Tanya started to laugh and stood calmly as Jim was on the defense attack, swinging the fire poker back and forth rapidly.

“WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE AND WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR FRIENDS?” Jim yelled at a calm Leonardo and Tanya continuously laughing sinisterly.

“Your friends,” Leonardo smiled. “My boy, we have savored your friends!”

“YOU… YOU ATE THEM?” Kelsey cried. “YOU PEOPLE ARE MAD!!!”

“And soon enough, we shall savor you next!” Leonardo added. From behind Jim in the dark corner came Gabrielle and stabbed Jim in the shoulder with the ice pick.

“KELSEY, LET’S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!” Jim yelled as he and Kelsey both ran like a bat out of hell out of the Manor and ran towards Cletus’ garage to get the keys to the van. From behind, both Gabrielle and Tanya was running after both Jim and Kelsey down the road. “DON’T STOP NOW, KEEP RUNNING!” Jim yelled out while holding Kelsey’s hand and wincing in pain from the ice pick attack.

Jim and Kelsey ran as fast as they could and far away from Gabrielle and Tanya. Then Jim and Kelsey headed in the alley way and hid in the garbage dumpster, hoping that the cannibal townspeople would miss them.

“Listen to me, Kelsey,” Jim whispered as he consoled to Kelsey. “No matter what happens to me, you run. You run as far away as you can. Do not stop. Do not look back. Keep running to find help and call the authorities. Listen, we’re gonna survive this. You understand? We are going to survive this!” Jim subtlety lifted the cover and saw the coast was clear. “Now’s our chance to run. Let’s go!” Jim and Kelsey climbed out of the dumpster and ran towards the garage.

As they hurried up to the garage, they saw that their van wasn’t inside the garage as they were to believe. In fact, the van was nowhere in sight. Jim was getting frustrated and Kelsey started crying. Then, Cletus’ tow truck rammed through the garage door, then swung his tow truck around and stopped, turning his brights onto Jim and Kelsey.

“We’ve been looking for ya, boy!” Cletus said as he climbed out of his truck and laughed sinisterly. Leonardo, Cletus, Bruno, The Wootens, Tanya, Gabrielle, and 1,000 black hooded cult members slowly came out and surrounding the two scared teens.

“Leaving us so soon?” Leonardo said.

“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?” Kelsey cried out.

“To serve you to our lord, Satan, sugar,” Edna said.

“OH YEAH? YOU WANNA EAT US? THEN TAKE ME. LEAVE HER ALONE.” Jim said. Kelsey didn’t want Jim to leave her all alone.

“Then so be it,” Leonardo then pulled out a 22-caliber pistol and shot Jim in the chest.

“JIM!!!! NO!!!!” Kelsey cried. Jim fell to his knees and looked at Kelsey.

“Get out of here. Save yourself.” Jim said. “RUN KELSEY!!!” Kelsey then gathered her strength and started running out of the cannibal town.

Meanwhile, Jim slowly feeling his life slipping away, looked up and saw the hungry townspeople hovering over him. Then looked up and saw Ed holding a Scythe.

“Mmm…. I so envy you. So much energy and might,” Ed said with an evil laugh. He then took the scythe and swung at a dying Jim, slicing his neck open, immediately killing him.

“Let the preparations of the ceremony begin,” Leonardo stated.

10 miles away outside of St. Lucian, Kelsey kept running away, crying and in terror that all her friends are dead. She stopped and tried to catch her breath from running so much to save her life. She then looked up and saw that same gas station that she and her friends stopped previously. Relieved from running and hoping that old clerk would help, she ran up to the station, but everything was closed. She then went up the building, peeked from the window and saw a phone inside. Because the door was locked up, she broke the glass from the door and unlocked it from the inside, hoping the phone was working so that she call the local authorities. She picked up the phone, heard a dial tone, and quickly dialed 9-1-1.

“9-1-1 Emergency, how may I direct your call?” said the operator.

“Hello? Please someone help me. All my friends are dead, and these crazy people tried to kill me.” Kelsey was besides herself.

“Calm down, ma’am and please state your emergency.” The operator repeated.

“My friends are dead, and these townspeople are cannibals! Please help me!” Kelsey repeated as she was crying out tears. Suddenly, someone hit her head from behind and knocked her unconscious. It was the thin man with the crooked smile. He took the phone and hung it back up, then picked up Kelsey while unconscious and took her back into town. For he, too, was also a cult member from St. Lucian.

Later in town, at the old barnyard church, the black mass ceremony was taking place. A gathering of hooded cult members holding torches was standing while Leonardo and his family, dressed in black, came out with an evil entrance. All the townspeople, Cletus, Ed, Edna, Bruno were all there in black hoods, chanting in lucifer’s prayer. And there, came out the thin man with the crooked smile, carrying an unconscious Kelsey, laying her slowly on top the black cast iron alter, surrounding with the bones and dried blood of dead animals and humans. Cletus slithered up next to Leonardo and gave Leonardo the golden goat head dagger.

Kelsey started to come to and slowly opened her eyes.

“Welcome back,” Leonardo said as the thin man with the crooked grin was standing next to him, tying her up against her will, starring down at her. Kelsey started to weep when she saw that she was back in the town run by cannibals. She turned her head over and in terror, she saw Jim’s dead corpse, hanging on a wooden crucifix, being picked off and devoured by the townspeople and what was left of Jim’s body was his eyeballs, his ripped up muscle tissues and skeletal remains from the right side and torn skin on the right side of his face. Kelsey screamed in absolute terror.

“NO!!” PLEASE GOD, NO!!!” Kelsey cried out.

“No child,” Leonardo said. “God doesn’t live here.”

“NOOOO!!!!!!” Kelsey screamed and cried out in horror.

“May this sacrifice under the blood moon nourish us in all of his glory,” Leonardo preached out while raising his hands, holding up the dagger.

“HAIL SATAN!” The cult members responded back.

“AHHHHH!!!!!” Kelsey continued screaming.

“And may our lord, Satan, replenish us with all his power!” Leonardo opens his eyes and fatally striking and stabbing Kelsey multiple times as she screams in the ultimate terror and coughing out her own blood as she suffers and dying in agony. All the cult followers cheered as she dies in a pool of her own blood. Cletus then brings out the golden chalice, pours the blood from Kelsey’s chest, then gives it to Leonardo.

“The lord is pleased with us once more. The sacrificial lamb has been delivered. Let us dine and feast upon this flesh in the name of Lucifer. Bon Appetite.”
