It happened when I was working as an assistant librarian at the local public library. The job didn't pay much but it was enough to pay for my gaming hobby and the perks that came with it actually made it quite a good job. I was surrounded by books, in a cool and dry environment with WiFi...what more could I ask for. The members of the library were pretty cool too, except for some oddballs like the occasional Karen or miscreant.129Please respect copyright.PENANAqqaazJtdiD
There was a kid. I knew him only by the name Gale, but I doubt that it was his real name. I distinctly remember that he had some weird tattoos on his face and hands. He used to wear a dark sweatshirt and would look for random books. Books which weren't related at all. He would always ask me, out of the 10 person staff, to help him find the books he would ask for. In retrospect I should have been vary of the fact that he would ask for books located in the secluded areas of the establishment, but hindsight is 20-20. One day I asked him, "Are you on a treasure hunt or something? You come here every day asking for random books, books not even related to the ones you would ask for the day before." He replied in a low voice, it was a voice of lunacy, "Yes. Sort of" . Suddenly he whipped his hand around and I felt a jab in my neck. Before even I could touch my neck, my vision got hazy and I passed out.129Please respect copyright.PENANAIMyBnLRBpq
I woke up in a dirty barn type of structure, there was hay all around me and in front of me there were two dog bowls, one had water and another had some chopped carrots and sprouts. There was a crack in the structure's roof and I could see it was evening, something around 5 or 6 PM. Before I was kidnapped, it had been 7PM. A whole day had passed between me passing out and waking up.129Please respect copyright.PENANAR2N13xvqXy
I could hear some unclear chanting and banging. I tried to get up, fast, but suddenly fell flat on my butt. I was tied to a wooden post. I was trapped.129Please respect copyright.PENANAovRcsY1XAs
Sometime passed, I could hear owls hooting and dogs howling... the sky was dark. Suddenly the barn's door creaked open. Standing at the door was Gale along with two other men. They were in white robes with medieval looking torches in hand. The boy quietly said something to one of them. And one of the men handed Gale his torch and moved towards. Their robes looked familiar. Then something clicked in my mind; the robes were sacrificial ceremony robes of the Druids. The man kicked me right in the boobs, which made me clutch my chest in pain. I was incapacitated. I wasn't used to being hit anywhere. The man took out a jack knife cut my ropes and slung me over his shoulder like a doll.129Please respect copyright.PENANAJNP8fKCEKe
He spoke in some strange tongue to the boy and started walking out of the barn. The boy and the other man shut the doors of the barn and followed the man, carrying me over his shoulder. I tried to squirm and kicking, trying to loosen his grip on me. But he had the grip of a grizzly bear. He carried me into the nearby woods. There was some light emanating from deep in the forest. There were pine trees all around. I started crying silently. I wasn't going to bawl in front of them.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjiK4IqAuPE
We came closer to the light source and now I could hear some chanting. There were men and women in robes looking at me as if I was going to do something great, like fly or something.
This gathering was in an O shape. They were standing around a rectangular stone slab, which had those medieval torches jutting out of its 4 vertices. The man put me down on the stone slab and two women tied my hands to two torches and two men tied my feet to two other torches. I was in a spread eagle position. The torches were sturdy. I tried to pull at them but they wouldn't budge.129Please respect copyright.PENANAzDfE3krPbr
An old, wrinkly man cam along with two old women. Then two men brought along a pot filled with hot coals. Under it was a lit fire. The two men bowed and went away. This hold time the chants were increasing in their volumes and speed. The old man motioned to the two old women and they stripped me of my clothes. One of them took a knife and cut of my T shirt and bra in a single slash and then pulled them off. The other woman did the same with my shorts and panties. I was stark naked my breasts and nether regions exposed. The old man smiled at me spoke loudly to the crowd, "Habemus virgo tibi hodie satanas. Accipe quod offerimus, et nos in pace relinquere!"129Please respect copyright.PENANAiqfVtFKQZl

The chanting became more frantic and loud. I then saw that he had put the knife's blade in the pot full of hot coals. He menacingly held the knife, and came close to me. He put one of his hands on my pelvic region and bent down. " P-Please no... don't please" I pleaded, crying loudly at this point. He smiled and said, " I won't molest you child. We need a virgin of German descent for our ceremony. We won't defile you." Then he reached for my breasts with knife in hand made a cut under each of them. I was racked with pain. Not only did the cutting hurt, but the knife was hot! I was crying like a baby now, pleading to them to leave me.129Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Hb0sNctj
My blood was bubbling on the hot knife and then he tilted the knife over the pot and I heard my blood sizzle. The blood was flowing down towards my legs and had reached my hips. Then the old man stuck his hand in the pot and pulled out a piece of coal. He came towards my head and drew something on my forehead. He burnt the image of a upside down cross. I screamed like a banshee. My forehead was burning up. He then shouted to the crowd, "Ave satana, Nos, ut sisterent hanc virginem!"129Please respect copyright.PENANA8RFqZ0zOaN
He then picked up, from the ground, a blunt stone knife with a handle made of black wood and red rubies. He looked at me and told me, "Be brave." " Noooo!!!" I screamed and I saw him bringing the knife to my forehead...then my vision vent dark and the last thing I saw were pieces of my brain spraying in all directions and my blood, running down my face.
"Well now you know, Tom, how I died. I died because of a freaking cult" ,Avery said. "Now it's your turn. How did you die?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAK4uL5rD37Q
"Well" Tom said, "I was killed by a possessed mall."129Please respect copyright.PENANAzVaHiQS0Xt
"Really!?" Avery asked.129Please respect copyright.PENANA67MbF7ZnFZ
"Yup... but that's a story for another day." Tom told her.129Please respect copyright.PENANAl1DHaOvN8o
Then the sun came up and the two two spirits had to rush back into their graves to avoid getting burnt.
