No. Mason leads the way in

Ten minutes go by without another arrival, and Mason pats your shoulder and gestures towards the building.

"I think we're good. Let's go." You follow him into the building, where he presses a board then pushes a hidden door open. Using his cell phone for a light source, he leads you down a spiral staircase and into a chamber with benches along three walls. There are four white robes hanging from hooks, and eight neatly folded stacks of clothes under empty hooks.

"Last night there were only three robes," he whispers. "Maybe the last girl is late."

"Should we leave?"

He thinks for a moment, then shakes his head. "I think we should risk it. The balcony is pretty dark, so even if she does show up she might not see us."

He listens at the door then eases it open. You follow him out onto a narrow balcony with stairs leading down from one end. Beneath you a room is dimly illuminated with candles, and white robed and hooded figures stand around an altar, answering the chant led by a red robed figure on a dias, while another sits regally in one of two thrones. The words mean nothing to you, but sound vaguely like they might be Latin, or at least similar to what you've heard in occasional movies. It doesn't go on for too long before changing to English.

"We are the Sisters of the White Briary, the Keepers of the Pure Light, the Guardians of the Thorn," intones the red robed figure, with the white robed girls echoing the words in unison.

"We are the Chosen. We are Stainless. We are the Righteous." Once again the words are repeated.

"We hold the Truth, the Virtue, and the Judgement. So it is, so it shall ever be, and so it has been since the beginning." These last words are not echoed and the scarlet robed figure steps back and sits in the empty chair. The other figure stands and steps forward, casting back its hood to reveal a mask of alabaster whiteness in the form of a classical Roman or Greek statue.

"Let us begin," a woman's voice says with authority, looking around the circle of white hooded girls.

"Sister Margot, you have a report." The seated figure points at one of the white robed girls. The one selected steps forward then unbuttons the neck of her robe and lets it drop to a puddle of cloth around her feet, standing naked facing the dais.

You're surprised to see that it's Margot Childers, the girl whose tie Dean Hawkfeather cut off at the orientation meeting. You barely stifle a soft grunt of appreciation at the sight of her lovely young body.

"Mother Minerva, this morning I saw Mr. Carter in the entrance building. I do not believe he had found the Sacred Door, but I thought it best to distract him. I did so, using this body to cloud his mind and focus his attention on me."

"And were you successful in this Sister?"

"Yes Mother. He took me then and there, using me very hard, then ordered me to report to his cottage. I did so, and once again he used me, penetrating all my orifices until he had sated his lust." You give Mason an envious look but he seems intent on what's unfolding beneath you. "I am confident that he has lost whatever interest he may have had in the entrance building. I believe that he was just exploring the campus, but I thought it best to ensure his mind was diverted."

"And did you take pleasure in his using you Sister?"

"Yes Mother, I did. I had not expected to, being willing to offer this body in sacrifice to protect the secrets of the Briary, but I was blessed with many climaxes."

"Often there is unexpected pleasure in sacrifice my child. Do you intend to distract him further?

"Yes Mother. I had thought to keep his mind occupied with thoughts of this body until I am sure he has lost all interest in exploring."

"This is wisdom I.........what is this?" The door you reached the balcony from suddenly bursts open and another white robed figure runs through, clattering down the stairs. Fortunately, in her hurry and in the darkness, she did not see the two of you crouched at the opposite end from the spiral staircase.

"Sister Lyndsey! What is the meaning of this unseemly entrance? Explain yourself at once child!"
