Chapter 124: 124-The Rituals In The North

Clementine:

"Dude, let her be. She’s not Dora the Explorer." I could already hear Yorick’s grunting voice warning Ian not to drag me with him.

"I’m pretty sure she can speak for herself, but fine, I’ll go by myself," Ian said as he got up, holding a can of soda and walking upstairs.

"I mean, there’s nothing else, nothing better to do. We should have explored the top floors when we arrived. How did it escape our minds?" I complained to Yorick as I began to walk upstairs. It was my way of letting him know I did want to explore the second and third floors.

Yorick started to come after me. "I don’t know, you’re probably right, but last night was weird, don’t you think?" he said. I turned to look at him and nodded.

Suddenly, Ian returned and spread his arms across, placing a hand on the railing to block my way.

"Ian, step out of her way." Yorick didn’t even want to know why Ian was doing it, he just came to my defense.

"I don’t think she should, or anyone should, go upstairs," Ian said, making my heartbeat slow a little.

"Why? What’s upstairs?" I asked Ian. But the way he glanced at Yorick and gave a slight shake of his head made me think it was something serious. That only made me more determined to find out.

I stepped closer, gently placing my finger on Ian’s hand. That was his sign to let go. He did, but then he put his hands in his pockets and groaned, almost like he knew I was going to see something.

Once I stepped onto the second floor, the shock hit me. There were bones everywhere.

"What is that?" I gasped, my eyes wide as I looked around. Yorick quickly followed us, his reaction the same, but he stretched an arm out to keep me behind him before stepping ahead.

"Ian, do you think what I’m thinking?" he murmured, glancing toward the one watching silently.

"Yep," Ian confirmed with a nod.

Yorick scanned the room, and I snapped back to reality. There weren’t just bones, there were candles, which seemed to have burned all night because now they were nothing but stubs. That explained why there were candles resting in the bedroom, the bathroom, and everywhere else.

"But why the heck are there bones here? They look like human remains, maybe a werewolf’s, a witch’s, or just a human’s," I uttered.

"Could be just a pure human," Yorick remarked as he moved toward the circle.

"Wait!" I caught his hand and pulled him back, pointing at the circle I had noticed but hadn’t thought to mention until he stepped toward it. Drawings and marks covered the walls and floor.

The second floor was huge, with a few doors—bedrooms visible along the way. But each bedroom door had a large red cross painted on it and was locked with heavy chains. And the shock didn’t end there. The circles on the ground were drawn in something red, probably blood.
