Too vanilla, you say!

I went back home and informed mom of the situation. I also told her I wouldn't necessarily sacrifice kids for my sake. 

Besides, Enira was kind of still sleeping so even if we ended up securing sacrifices, there was no guarantee it would have worked anyway.

Mom was not happy, no. She'd called about a dozen of her friends and even grandma and most of them agreed to her- according to her. And I had a bad feeling about that… 'They're not going to go on a kidnapping spree, right?'

I seriously doubted my family's age-old claim of 'we're not evil', all over again.

But anyway, time moved on. And so far, nothing happened. Keyword, 'so far.'

And the last week of the month came running- it had brought the school festivals with it. 

Our weeding day was also decided. 29th October, two days before Halloween. Marg was exhilarated. 

Honestly, I was too.

Each year Demigrace Academy held three distinct festivals.
