Cult

Growing up, Blake did everything she could to fit in. She’s now in college and nothing has changed. The first two weeks were rough, but she found a group to stick with during her third week on the university campus. The only way the group would take her in would be if she dyed her hair black, so Blake followed suit. After classes, Blake would hang out with the other girls that were free. She barely studied because she noticed none of the other girls studied. When she confronted Emily, the groups leader, about needing time away from the group activities to study, Emily laughed and started to belittle her. Holding tears back, Blake zoned out.

She interrupted Emily, “fine. I’ll do whatever you want if you’ll give me time to study.” Emily had a mischievous smile on her lips. What crossed her mind was nothing close to what was on Blake’s mind.

“The tunnels. Tomorrow at 9. Don’t be late.” Emily sprang up and walked away with a pep in her step.

The next day, Blake arrives to the tunnels around 8:45. No one is there. She scopes the area and realizes how creepy the tunnels are at night. She turns on her phone flashlight and begins to go into the main entrance. She smells sewage and hears dripping water and people struggling. Blake continues until she sees a young woman. Her hands and feet are tied with zip ties and her mouth is covered with duck tape. Emily and some of the other girls from the group emerge from the shadows. Blake tries to leave but the other girls are blocking the exit.

“Hello Blake,” Emily said as she inched closer. “You said you would do anything to get your study time.” She was in Blake’s personal space now. Emily handed her a kitchen knife, and Blake’s breathing got heavier. “Kill her.” Tears started rolling down Blake’s cheek. She knew what she had to do.

Blake approached the young girl who was also crying. Blake apologized to her and stabbed her in the neck. Something overcame her and suddenly she had no remorse. She wasn’t sorry. And she wanted to do it again.

“Good girl,” said Emily. Blake turned around slowly with a smile on her face and the girl slowly bled out to death. Blake stood up and went after one of the girls behind Emily. She stabbed her in the neck too. A second of shock passed over Emily before she started stabbing the girls with Blake. After the last girl died, Emily and Blake locked eyes. They kissed each other passionately before heading out of the tunnels to kill more.
