Chapter 6: The promise is broken

Natael and I went back to the village together. I was afraid she was talking or saying something. We met Alexander on the street and started walking towards the gym. Everything seemed to be fine, then suddenly after a few minutes of silence she smiled wickedly at me and immediately blurted everything out to Alexander. She couldn't not tell Alexander, he was her best friend.
We decided that both of them would keep their mouths shut if I accompanied them here. 
I accepted reluctantly.
It wasn't that easy. They should have followed certain rules and they should have been very careful.
That day came fast. Natael and Alexander looked happy and full of energy. They looked forward to meeting the old lady who had earned so much attention from me. 
We walked into the woods and as we got closer I felt more and more nervous and restless. It was as if the trees were watching me. 
Arrived in front of the house, Alexander made a sprint as if to start running forward. I blocked it in time with my hand.
+Stop!
-What is it? - he replied while Natael was still behind me.
+It's time to explain the rules to you.
-Hey! We're not kids, you know?
~Yeah!~ Natael confirmed ~We know how to deal with the elderly. We will be respectful and will not say anything bad! Don't worry...
+No, I didn't mean that ...
I explained to them that the lady would offer them food and tea and that they could drink only and only tea. Forbidden to eat. It's forbidden to stop looking at the lady for too long. Also, they shouldn't have asked too personal questions, I didn't want the old woman to remember too much about her painful life.
As expected, Natael and Alexander didn't understand the reason for all this attention but still accepted what I had said.
I knocked on the door. 
It was the signal that I was entering. l It is not such a trivial thing to point out.
~Why are the windows all barred and there is moss everywhere? Are you sure we're in the right place?~ Natael replied.
+Stop asking questions, please. Or you won't survive.
I opened the door.
The door creaked softly.  The room was dark.
We entered.
