At the top of the hill

   Old wooden church at the top of the hill. Some people say cultists gather at night to worship the demons. There were tales of sacrifice,people captured and kept there. Chanting has been heard from a distance by some and blood has been found in the area.Whether you believe it or not it seems like something,something is going on there. Some people speak of salvation and say that church does a great thing,helps people. Maybe it does but nobody speaks openly about what they see or hear at night and now. Now it is time to find out. The angry crowd gathered outside the church at night,they are determined to find out what is happening in their house of worship at night,whether the rumours are true and if they are,the cultists,those who abuse the faith will pay. As a the crowd approached the church,the doors flung open. People in cloaks and capes,covered in blood,carrying stones and books ran out.Screams were heard from within. Some managed to escape through the crowd while some were captured. As the crowd went inside,they found people imprisoned,screaming for help.Torture devices,relics of old,ancient tomes and candles everywhere. The crowd was angry,some went chasing after those who fled while the rest set the demonic house alight,agreeing that this will never happen again and the new house of worship has to be built. Ever since then,the cult,it’s members,are nothing but a whisper in the wind today but there is still evidence if you look closely enough,of that,what was. Some say the screams and the chanting are still coming from hill at night,today.

   Old wooden church at the top of the hill. Some people say cultists gather at night to worship the demons but the priest knows what goes on in his house of worship and there are no demons in his church. Beautiful stained glass windows adorned the church. Old oak,velvet cloth,it was beautiful. You could feel elevated,spiritual just by being inside this building. The church had a basement and that’s where all the stores for the winter and those in need were. People who attended the church were close and did everything to help each other and those around them. One day when people of town gathered for the evening service,a man ran in. Right in the middle of the service he screamed: “They coming”!There was a talk of group threatening to burn down the church but the priest brushed it off as an idle threat by those with hate. Now,now they were outside. A group of men,mostly young man with pain and anger in their eyes,torches in hand. People started panicking,running out,some were grabbed. Priest stayed in.They set the church alight while some went chasing for the fleeing. The priest went to the basement,refusing to leave and started to pray. 

   Nowadays,new church has been built and nobody speaks of that what was. People are closer than ever and church brought them together. Some say though,that you can still hear screams at night,coming from the top of the hill where church was.The screams of a dying priest. Some say the church burned because it was a home of cult,some say it was an attack by those with hatred against those who are faithful. Time changes things,stories change with team,details change but the core is the same. What is the truth depends on who you ask and there are always two sides to every story.
