*CLANG*

....

Cultist: Seems like someone has been eavesdropping on our conversation...

Melody quickly turned her head to see her younger brother accidentally bumped into a metal pipe causing it to fall to the ground.

Tommy: Oops....

The middle child swore in rage because they been caught.

Melody: (GOD-DAMNIT TOMMY!!!!)

She turned to her sibling and gestured him to run. Fast. Tommy did had he was told as the door in front of Melody opened and she looked at the two adults who glared at her.

Cultist Man: It's one of the nosy brats. So we were being watched.

Innkeeper: Doesn't matter. Kill her. We're go after her brothers next.

Melody: (Oh no! I gave Tommy enough time to go warn Jake! But will I be able to get away from them?!) L-Let me go! I promise I won't tell no one!

Innkeeper: Shut up you little bitch!

The cultist man pulled out a knife with a maniacal grin.

Cultist: Hold still! Our leader will be pleased once we gather your remains!

Melody: Stay Away You Psychos!

Cultist: Hurry Up And Die! For The Whole Town!

Melody ran away from them as the two adults ran after her. With them right on her trail, they tried to grab her but she picked up the pace and hop over a desk. She noticed a barrel, knocked it over, and pushed it on over to them. This made both the adults moved out of the way as Melody ran for the door only to notice the entrance way to the locked by an iron gate.

Melody: (Now what do I do?! I have to find a way to outsmart them...but how...?)

Melody then saw an iron gate on the ground where it was in the place of trap door had resided at.

Thinking quickly, she runs over to the trap door.

Innkeeper: YOU WON'T ESCAPE THIS TOWN!

Cultist: DIE! DIE! DIE!

They continue to give chase. As soon as the cultist man walked over the trap door.

Melody quickly grabbed the lever next to it.

Melody: (Please work...Please work...)

...And pulled it down...

*CLANK*

The trapdoor opened making the cultist man fall into the hole below to who knows where.

Cultist: AHHHH!!! YOU LITTLE BITCH! I'LL RIP YOUR INTESTINES OUT!!!!!!!

The innkeeper looked on in horror at what Melody did.

Innkeeper: Y-You kill him?!

Before the innkeeper could do anything, another miracle happened for Melody.

The gate opened to the entrance opened and her older brother came charging in with a bat.

Jake: HYAAAAAAAH!!!!

Before he slammed it down onto the innkeeper's head knocking her out. Melody watched as her body fall to the ground with a thud as she begin to catch her breath. Tommy came up right behind Jake with a concern yet relived expression.

Melody: J...Jake!

Jake: Tommy told me everything. Melody...Are you okay? Did they hurt you?

Melody: Barely...T-They almost did...They tried to kill me. They literally tried to kill me.

Jake:....

Melody: Jake. These people...They not just want to kill us. They want to use us as sacrifices to appease the vengeful tribe from Howie's story.

Jake: Shit...

Tommy:....

The man in the black cloak. He was a cultist...

Jake: Fuck...You mean like those satanic pentagrams we been seeing all over town. You mean to tell me they made them?! Fuck...So it really is happening...

Melody: Yes...The Oasis Syndrome...Whether it's real or not. The people here are going insane. Ever since we got here...They planned on killing us from the start.

Tommy: But why...why are they doing this?

Melody:...You remember that cultist man said. Because we're albinos.

Jake: So that's their goal. They want to use us for their ritual because we're albinos.

Melody: Well...I think I understand where they're coming from. Though I wish I didn't.

Jake: What do you mean?

Melody: Back then, there was a dark history where albino people were hunted down and slaughtered by others for their bodies because it suggested that our body parts can give riches, success, medicine, or sexual conquest.

Both Jake and Tommy shuddered at Melody's explaination.

Melody: What makes things worst...the slayings of people with albinism are common in Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique, where body parts are used in witchcraft rituals because of superstitions that they can bring riches, success, power or sexual conquest. Children are especially vulnerable...

Jake: So you mean to tell me these bozos we're watching us from the start.

Melody: Yep. Like when told us what you discovered in the police station. Those guys were waiting for us. Waiting for the right moment to strike.

Jake: And we walked right into their trap...

Tommy: *Whimpers*

Melody: The stares...the cultists...The missing residents...the burial ground...the monsters...everything is starting to make sense.

Jake:....Fuck. I can't believe such a thing will happen here as well. We can't waste anymore time here. Let's get the fuck out of here. Have you found any fuel yet?

Melody: No. We were looking but then we ran into our killer innkeeper, learning she was conspiring with the cultists.

Jake nodded feeling bad that he left Melody in such a tight spot. He felt grateful she used her spot thinking to hold off their attackers.

Melody: How are the repairs on the car?

Tommy: Jake was able to fix it! We just need the fuel! Barry agrees with that!

Melody turned to their eldest brother with a questioning look.

Melody: Can you drive?

Jake: Girl. You forget I'm over sixteen. I may not have my driver's license yet. But I know my way around the wheel.

Melody let out a sigh of relief hearing that. She can trust Jake on this because Tommy had said he then see Jake driving once before they got here. She felt happy yet exhausted. So all they need is fuel and they can the fuck out of here.

Jake: Okay. Guys. Let's stick together this time and search this basement for any fuel. No separating this time.

Melody and Tommy nodded as Jake pushed the knocked out innkeeper into the hole below as Melody pulled up the lever closing the trapdoor.

Jake: That's for trying to kill my sister, Bitch.

Melody: Hmph...I never did trusted that lady. She was very suspecious.

Tommy: Yeah...Barry didn't like her...
I didn't like her either...

While looking for fuel, the siblings walked further into the basement. They then stopped when they smell something.

Another putrid odor hit all their nostrils.

Melody: Please tell me we're not going to find another dead body...

Jake:....Who knows...the smell is coming from one of those doors.

Jake walked up to the door and peered into the hole. His eyes went wide in horror.

Melody: Jake?

Tommy: What's wrong?

Jake:....G-Guys....

He moved out of the way as Melody and Tommy looked inside as well.

In the dark room. Lied the body of a young woman chained to a wall. She was a wearing torn bloody white dress and was barefooted. Multiple skeletons of people lay around her.

Her black hair was disheveled as she was covered in cuts from head to toe. but the worst part is...

Her eyes and mouth were stitched up and her stomach was cut open showing that there were no intestines inside.

On the walls were blood were "Noron" and "Talasa".

Melody: O...M...G....

Tommy: *Quivering*...No...No...

Melody: T-This is terrible...how could they do this to that poor girl...

Jake: Is that girl....?

Jake didn't finish his sentence as Melody can already confirm what he was about to say. Though she wish she didn't. But judging from the girl in the room. She looked to be asian and her black hair was all they need to know who she was...

Melody:....

"I think we found Misty...."

Tommy: I've...I've seen enough...! Let's get out of here!

Jake: Right! Let's find the fuel and-?!

Once Jake turned his head, he met face to face with a man wearing a black robe and white mask.

He and his siblings let out screams before a green mist suddenly appeared all around them. The siblings started coughing as they tried to get away but they bodies suddenly felt weak and their vision was fading.

Jake: (No...We're...So...Close...)

Everything went dark after that...

....

???: Heh Heh Heh. We finally got them~! Get them ready for the ritual~!
