Kidnapped By The Cult {RP}

"It's not a problem, any time you need help, feel free to ask." Tamah, as well as writing in her diary, had a sheaf of computer files to look thru in order to find the next maiden for the seven year ritual. It was important to pick the right girl.

Zack looked miserable. "I sometimes feel like I want to do what the one before me did and hang myself."

Isibel managed a little smile. "Thank you."

"Don't. Believe it or not, Zack, there's worse things out there than this. You probably don't believe me." Lennox shook his head.

[Miranda_]

Tamah smiled. "I'm always here to help; once I finish writing my diary entry for today, I need to look thru the files that Melisande gave me. It's nearly time for the next ritual."

"I don't. It's hard for me to imagine anything worse than this."

[Silent_Wolf]

"There's people who have no homes, not even a bed to sleep on, Zack. I know you don't see your life as lucky, but they would."

Isibel nodded and stood up. "Alright. You need me to sort out the files in order today?"

[Miranda_]

"That would be very helpful, thank you." Tamah handed Isibel some of the files. "I've narrowed it down to these 10 files. I need to choose a new maiden soon."

Zack sighed once more, and didn't press the point.

[Silent_Wolf]

"It's been bothering me, but how do you pick them? They all look the same to me." She looked perplexed.

Lennox sighed and scratched the back of his head. "If there's anything you need, just scratch at the door or something; they'll probably hear you and find me."

[Miranda_]

"Easy; I just need to find the ones who are going to trustingly believe what they're told, plus ones with after school activities and who go places on their own are always good. Otherwise, once I narrow the field, all I need to do is see which one seems good to my inner voice."

Zack nodded. "Alright," he said in a small voice.

[Silent_Wolf]

"I think I understand that." Isibel blinked.

Lennox patted his head. "I'll leave the water pitcher for you, alright?"

[Miranda_]

"Once I've chosen the new maiden, I'll send Melisande out to take her. Then she'll have a few days to get used to things before the night of the ritual."

"Thanks. And thanks for coming to talk to me."

[Silent_Wolf]

"Could I help out? I could show her around the grounds."

"No problem, Zack."
