Sins Are Reckoned with in October

"You will atone for your sins here until the Lord forgives you and wait for the coming of dawn." The only nun in the manor church spoke loudly to several people in the audience in front of the altar. When others were about to pass by, the nun was hit by the statue that suddenly fell behind her. With the death of the nun, heavy bells rang in the manor. Others in the audience were panicked, and there was a flood of discussion, but soon fell silent, and they looked at each other warily at everyone around them. Until a panicked voice came from the door. "It's... Why is it late? It was obviously noon when we came in, wasn't it? How could...?" "Baroness, the owner of the manor is your friend. You must have something to do, right?" As one of the people in the crowd spoke, more people started asking. The woman known as the Baroness pinched the hem of her gorgeous green skirt and slowly backed away. Her expression was panicked, but she still forced a smile and spoke in a tone that she thought was calm. "Of course..., You don't have to worry." The Baroness backed slowly toward the door, then immediately turned around and started running. The moment people saw the Baroness running, they also started running towards her. But just a few seconds after the Baroness ran out, a scream came from outside the door. The night was like a giant claw, holding the entire island, and it was dark except for the sparse and weak lights falling on the roadside. The Baroness crawled back into the church within a few seconds. She was in tatters and covered with wounds, and she spoke with her last breath. "Only when you have made atonement will you be forgiven... No! Save me."
