Mikel followed the priest quietly, glancing at the chapel where the nuns were praying. Their hands were pressed together, rosaries wrapped around them. Their mouths moved, but barely any sound came out.
This feels like a horror film setup, he thought, eyes settling on the priest's slightly hunched back.
The priest remained silent, their steps echoing faintly across the stone floor.
Soon, they reached a door.
"You wait here, Haleth," said the priest, giving him a slight nod. "I'll still scold you once this is over."
Mikel's face twitched, and he nodded as he watched the priest press a hand against the door. When it creaked open, voices drifted out from inside.
"Hmm?" he hummed as the door closed behind the priest, catching a glimpse of a few robed figures. "I didn't know there were more than one priest in a church."
He shook his head, then looked around.
"I have no time to waste here," he muttered until his attention fell back to the door.
