Chapter 11.

The rain was pouring down and the lightning was not stopping, the atmosphere was eerily cold and desolate, the electric power had been turned off by the strong storm.

Reena had delegated Alicia Fox to manage her parents' company and she would only have to worry about keeping her sanity before society and fully dedicate herself to art...

Dario had begun to investigate on his own the strange death of his relatives and that led him to discover that not only he was investigating the event, but that Lucas, Oscar, Luke and Willy were also in the same, because five minds think better than one; So, they started visiting the places of the deaths and taking photos from different angles and when they got to Reena's house, she was preparing snacks while enjoying a nice melody at sunset...

Immediately, the boys came in to greet her and then Oscar asked her: have you already accepted what is really real and that it was never a lie or any trick of your mind? And she nodded. Luke told her that she could tell them if she had noticed any kind of strange behavior with Sam the last time he saw her and she said no, that Sam never changed his attitude, he always kept his distance, but she was still herself.

Willy didn't waste any time and started tasting the sandwiches she had prepared and praised her for her good baking, telling her that she should open a bakery in the town, that her culinary skills would take her far... Dario pushed Willy's shoulder telling him to stop talking nonsense, that he liked any kind of sweet or food he found and everyone started laughing because they knew it was true...

The boys took photos and kept storing them, then Lucas remembered that there was a woman in the town who could help them, he didn't remember her name well, but it was probably Ágata, she was dismissed from her position in the church more than 20 years ago and many rumors say that she already knows all the secrets of the church and the town, that if there is someone who can help us decipher what is chasing them, it is her; everyone agreed and went in search of old lady Ágata; They didn't know if he was still alive because no one knew exactly where he lived, but they could start investigating the origin of everything, which was the church.

As Reena began to walk out of the house, she felt someone touch her forearm and turning around, she realized it was Darren, telling her to be careful outside; Then she said to him: Can you follow me like a shadow or like a soul? And he told her that he could only follow her at home and in the surroundings of the place, as long as the sun had set, during the day he would not appear, but at night, he would take care of her if she were in his domain, then she said to him: Why does it have to be like this? And he simply told her that this is the meaning of destiny, we cannot forge it or force it, just let it flow, be careful on the trip and above all do not trust someone who looks like me, because outside of here, I cannot appear, nodding, she told him: We will meet again... And resuming the path, she joined the boys to set off on the trip. Thus, they arrived at the town's central church, a historic cathedral, huge and full of art. The group got off and staring at the architecture began to walk inside the cathedral and split up, so each one began to look for something that could be related to the search for Agatha, but every time they asked an altar boy, they said they didn't know that name, and it was strange, because everyone in the cathedral is supposed to know her name; and then, a bearded man who was dressed in rags and stank like a vagabond, told them: if you want to get that damn witch, you have to sacrifice something, because she doesn't show herself to just anyone. Oscar said to him: Excuse me good man, but could you be more clear with what you say? And that vagabond told him that in that cathedral, no one will tell you where that cursed woman lives, because she was banished from this place and her name is forbidden, in fact, that you have mentioned the name of that woman has put you in danger, and if you do not leave this place quickly, it is possible that you will never find the light of the sun again, the group quickly looked at each other's faces, shocked by what they heard and when they turned to look, the vagabond was no longer there. Following the vagabond's orders they left as quickly as possible, but before leaving they met a cleric at the door who stopped them and asked them why they don't stay and pray for a while so that their sins may be forgiven? Then Darius said to him: why don't you atone for yours first? Now get out of my way and don't let me see your face again. The cleric then said to them: my children, don't you know that you can't be right with God, and with the devil?, they have to define a single path and choose the right path… then Willy told him: because I am following the right path I order you to get out of my way… I am hungry like a train and the food is out there and not in here, I am not going to stay here inside this church to atone for my sins and die of hunger, I am not staying here, and they left hastily passing over the cleric, so that everyone managed to set foot outside the cathedral, and looking at each other, they sighed and continued walking… once inside the van they began to have hasty ideas.

Luke admitted that it was strange that there was a smelly homeless man inside the cathedral, but then Dario continued and told him: not only is it strange, but the way he disappeared before our eyes without any of us being able to detect him.

Oscar then said that he is probably an informant of the high priest disguised to give us false information, to which Willy commented that if he was an informant, why would he dare to curse inside the house of God? That that was a great sin... For her part, Reena stated that according to all types of religions, cursing inside the temple is something that should not be done and much less if reference is being made to a former member of their religion, because not even in ancient times did they curse in sacred temples... so he should not have lied, perhaps the vagabond was someone in disguise, perhaps an entity that is giving us a sign to be able to find the old woman Ágata.
