(Realise you are the cult leader)
She shakes her head furiously, the images slowly edging out of her mind.
“No…”
“Then…what? What has happened?” She Grabbed her shoulder. Abigail could feel every bit of worry in her mind. “Grea…please be okay…please be okay…”
“No…”
She repeats, clearly a little broken.
Upon hearing Annebelle’s voice, she seems to calm down a little.
“Hah… hah…” as she tries to slow down her breathing.
“…” She realised she wasn’t answering her. She gently turned her over, so her back would be touching the ground. Annebelle didn’t know what to say… so she started singing a lullaby. It was old and her voice wasn’t perfect, but she knew it was calming… and that’s all she was able to do for her.
“Thank you…” As she finally resumes her normal breathing with the lullaby.
“Grea’s fine… she’s alive…” she says, her eyes telling a different story.
Those eyes… show a bitter rage…?
Abigail hugs Annebelle, suddenly shaking.
“…” Annebelle looked at her. She felt her own heart sinking. She sighed and reached for her backpocket, taking out a pendulum. “Please…tell me what happened…”
“I felt… the cult…”
“The one…”
“That once took me…”
She shuddered.
“The…cult? What…is…Grea…part of a cult…?” She fiddled with the pendulum.
“She wasn’t earlier today…!”
“Why… Why…”
“Momma… Papa…”
She starts crying, even as she tries to hold back, the tears will not stop rolling down.
“…” Annebelle looked at Abigail…and presented the pendulum to her. “I’m sorry…” It was catching her eyes through the tears.
She looks at the pendulum…
“Ah…” Abigail looks at the pendulum, mesmerised.
“You’re going to listen to me…there’s no time for tears. We need to find Grea. You’re going to tell me everything you know abut the cult who has her, you understand?”

Andrew proceeds to the shop.
A: Let’s see if this is still open.
Abigail and Annebelle were Inside… the door wasn’t locked.
“I…”
“Don’t know… everyone was killed…”
“Everyone was killed…”
“I saw remnants of the cult while walking from the forest back home…”
“Remnants of the cult…”
“CULT.”
A: Oh whoops! Sorry!
cough
A: I don’t mean to intrude , but do you happen to have an enhancement potion on hand?
“…shop’s closed…” She glared at Andrew. “Come back later.”
“Everyone was killed…? Remnants of the cult…” She blinked and hid the pendulum from her view. Stopping the hypnosis.
